Chapter 1185: Time To Get Going!
Chapter 1185: Time To Get Going!
A week had passed since then, and it was finally to depart and descend the tower, explore other worlds to get stronger, reach Earth, and see if my family...
If my original family is still alive.
I can't stay there for too long unfortunately, as I must come back before the entire war begins, I can't let Odin get away with everything he has done.
Therefore, descending the tower, doing the trials, and receiving the many rewards will help our growth, according to Frigga and many other gods.
Even Hel said it would help us, so it can't be helped.
Right now, we were in front of our friends and some family members, right outside of the little city we've built.
I already left behind a Perfect Divine Body and Soul fusion in the castle, so I'll technically will still be with them, it encompasses the Seas and Sunlight Thrones, so those don't destabilize or are stolen by others.
However, everyone still insisted on saying goodbyes to me, well, my family wouldn't remain here, so I guess it's to them mostly, but still!
"Please take care, everyone!" said Tear with a gentle smile. "We'll be waiting for your return!"
"Yeah! Please take care and survive!" said Veredorr. "We'll take care of this place in your absence. I promise."
Those two seemed really happy together, I can confidently trust them, they're fairly strong too. Veredorr is rapidly gaining back all his levels and developing new abilities too, and Tear is already very strong.
"Mom, take care please! Everyone else too! Aunties too!" Takeshi said.
"We'll train and become stronger, so once you come back, we are like completely different people!" said Laura.
I wish I could bring them along! But they insisted on staying and training, dammit. Well, they did say they weren't interested in Earth anymore.
"I wish you the best of lucks, auntie Maria, everyone else!" Fabian said.
"Yeah!" Garon nodded.
"Why are you leaving so soon?" Beery cried.
"Come on Beery, don't cry now!" Nick reprimanded him.
"We'll do our best to protect your house!" said Spectra.
Those brats all look pretty happy, good for them! I hope they keep training but also keep learning from the small school we made inside the village.
"It is a pity we can't go..." Francesco cried.
"Please take care and don't forget us!" Silvio said.
"Oh well, what can we do about it? You two should stop being such crybabies!" laughed Catarina. "It's Maria after all, they'll be fine anyways."
"Big sis, what's the tower anyways?" little Silva asked.
"Woof! Woof! AWO0000!" Blackie said goodbyes on his own way.
And them, well... they're happy as they are. Silvio and Francesco are the village's beloved fire ghosts that heat every single chimney and cook a lot of food, they were especially helpful in the harsh winters when the Frost Queen was still active and... well, evil.
Catarina, Silva, and Little Blackie had become quite the peculiar and strong trio, and I'm sure they're destined for greatness, though they're taking their sweet time in my village, not like I mind anyway.
"We'll take care of the place while you're away, everyone," said the Goblin Chief Gobu.
"Take careee auntieee!" Gofumin said cutely.
"Yeeaaaah!" Bellerine leaped into the air as she also joined.
"As we've done before, this place will be in good hands, so rest assured!" Syllis said proudly.
"Indeed, please do what you must," nodded the young Demon Prince Hermes, while his retainers Gustaf and Cecilia remained in silence by his side. "We will protect this precious home you've built in our absence."
"Then, master, I'll continue with whatever I can do repairing the Astral Vessel," said Akhenaton, the pharaoh. The three parts of this flying magic spaceship necessary to reach the divine realm of this world was already secured, and he was taking care of it right now.
"Gaaaooooo!" Kuro roared, saying goodbye, he wanted to come, but I left him behind so he could take care of the city with his strength.
"Gebobobobo!" Mercury, the big metal slime, was the same.
"OOOHHH..." Darkbound, the giant death knight groaned, waving his big hand.
"Shyeeeehh! Krieeek!" Pyro, a giant blazing spider I had recruited long ago, also said her goodbyes.
"Awooooo! Come on dude, howl! Aren't you a werewolf too?!" Claw, a former servant of the Frost Queen that was a white werewolf chief, howled on his giant wolf form, his current appearance after being raised as an undead.
"Um... I-I would rather not..." sighed a werewolf man by his side, he was the shy and mysterious Beowulf, a silent vampire werewolf that was the former servant of one of the Vampires we slain. I had interacted very little with him, but maybe one day he'll get to talk
more.
"I-I will do my best to take care of the vampires for you, master Maria!" Kimiko said timidly, the Japanese descendant katana-wielding vampire girl we found back in the desert.
I had left her in charge of most of the Vampires we ended "recruiting" which well, still kept their minds or thoughts. The rest are my personal vampire soldiers.
"Well, Lucifer, Nyx, please take care! I'll keep Brunhild over here in check, so she doesn't end up hocking with another dwarf and making more dwarves with dragon bloodline, hahaha!" laughed Violet, what a way to say goodbye.
"W-What?! I would never do such a thing!" cried Brunhild, facepalming. "Nyx please be careful okay? Listen to your father and your mother! And Lucifer! Don't be too grumpy!"
With everything said and done, we teleported to the underwater kingdom of Aquarose, where the King, the Queen, and the princesses were waiting for us, the door to Floor 49 of the Tower was right there.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A door that had been sealed for thousands of years, it was finally unsealed, and ready for us to step into it and descend this tower.
"You're leaving then!" the King said. "Best of lucks, our saviors!"
"We will keep the door sealed once you leave," said the queen. "You'll be able to open it on
your own from outside."
"Alright then! Thanks!" I said with a nod. "Okay everyone, let's do this!"
Lucifer, Emeraldine, Partner, Jonathan, Nyx, Celes, Nia, Arthur, Arachne, Myconidas, and my
spirits.
They all came with me, I used the Party Ticket, and quickly stepped into the door with them.
FLASH!
And what we saw in the other side was...
Huh?
What the hell is this?!
