Chapter 808: The Idea (1/2)
Zule sighed before explaining.
”As one of the necessary keys to open the four doors, the key has tremendous power. Back then, it was the key's power that guided my own son to this place. However, the Mortal Realm Universes aren't as stable and resistant when compared to the two upper realms. Because of that, the Universe it fell into, the Lokrathos Universe, received a great blow due to its arrival.”
”From what I understand, my son used his bloodline connection with me to revert the power of the key into the almost collapsing Lokrathos Universe foundation. I checked it as well. The foundation is being held by the key's power alone. Of course, that made the Lokrathos Universe's foundation stronger than any run-of-the-mill Universe out there. However, if the key is removed, the Lokrathos Universe wouldn't last even a day.”
Luvile didn't seem to care too much about it.
”Then the answer is simple. Move everyone out of the Universe and take the key after that. With Soren and me working together, it wouldn't take more than a month or so to do it. If these descendants of yours help as well, it will be even faster.”
Unsurprisingly, Arminia's group felt like killing Luvile.
”You want to destroy everyone's ancestral grounds, their history, their lives, just like that? Do you think any of us will permit that?”
Luvile snorted at those words.
”I couldn't care less about any of that. You should be happy that I'm even willing to bring all sentient lives out before doing it. That's already very benevolent on my part.”
The killing intent surrounding Arminia's group increased as all of them gathered. Even if they had to fight to the death, they wouldn't allow Luvile's group to take the key.
Feifei then looked at Zule before asking.
”Zule. Didn't you tell them why we need the key?”
”I haven't. In fact, I wouldn't even tell them that the thing was a key if they didn't know about it already. When I left my will within the key those years ago, my original body left an order behind. I should not talk about this issue with anyone other than Krune. That was to prevent any mishaps from happening.”
Arminia didn't seem to care, though.
”Even if Spacetime God had told us about the use of the key, we wouldn't allow anyone to take it anyway. There's nothing worse than losing our home forever.”
Krune shook his head before explaining.
”I'm not like the others. I never had too much of an attachment with a place before, even the Universe I was born in. I won't blame you for doing so, though. However, there's a big issue here. If we don't take the key, you will still lose your Lokrathos Universe either way.”
Arminia's group was taken aback.
”Do you think we will believe that?”
With Zule here, the order where he could only talk in Krune's presence was achieved. That said, he could finally explain everything to his descendants.
”Krune's not lying. If they take the key, the Lokrathos Universe will collapse. If they don't take the key...all Four Realms will collapse, Lokrathos included.”
”What?!”
Krune then looked at 'Zule.'
”Is it okay if I tell them everything?”
”Yes, go ahead.”
Krune nodded.
”It goes like this...”
Krune then explained the entire situation. How the doors to go out of the Four Realms are connected to the Four Realms' foundations. How the gods of the God Realm were planning to break through it even if it means the Four Realms' collapse. How it would be impossible to stop all of them. Krune explained that they needed the key to open the four doors and prevent the four realms from disappearing in the process.
”Without the Mortal Realm Key, the Mortal Realm would be destroyed together with the rest. As terrible as the idea of destroying the Lokrathos Universe might seem, the loss of all Four Realms far exceeds the importance of a single Universe. Please understand. We really don't want to force anything.”
Arminia's group felt terrible.
”Spacetime God, no... Ancestor Zule. Is it really true?”
