The Central World was the core of the Upper World. It was not only said to be the most important place in the upper realm, but also the most precious. However, only one person lived there, as if monopolizing the entire place.
That was the place where Karyk really wanted to enter, however he wasn't confident enough. Rushing inside the Central Reason was impossible, since there was said to be only one way to enter the Central World which only the four generals knew about.
That was also why he had been targeting the four generals ever since he came here. And finally, he had an opportunity to meet them face to face.
As the banquet drew near, the preparations intensified. The Special realm where the banquet was going to take place was being prepared for the upcoming event. Not only was the security of that place being arranged, but responses for all the invitations were also sent.
The Southern General was personally overseeing the preparations to ensure that everything was perfect for the occasion. At the same time, he also remained alert about Karyk's presence in the Upper Realm. However, for the time being, that was secondary.
A few days passed and the time for the banquet finally arrived!
The secret realm was prepared! Guards were arranged. There was not a single flaw in arrangements. Moreover, multiple traps were also arranged to make sure that information of any attacks would reach the four generals directly.
There was only one portal which led to the Secret Realm. However, to enter, one had to not only verify their identity with the Captain of the Guards but also possess the invitation token.
It was hard for the Captain of the Guards to keep an eye on everything alone since there were thousands of guests who had arrived. The entrance to the secret realm was also starting to get crowded, which prompted him to use his other guards to verify the identity of people.
He didn't realize that in the distance, this was exactly what four people were waiting for.
The Guard of the Captain had a great memory and a good perception. Moreover, if he was the only person who verified identities, it was hard for anyone to fool him and enter.
Now that there was controlled chaos because of the crowd, this gave them the perfect opportunity.
At the moment, Karyk was wearing a disguise like before. He even hid all his aura, as if not intending to show it in the slightest.
Next to him, Gabriel had also disguised. The Goddess of Nature and Jia were staying inside Karyk's shadow space, so that left only the two to enter.
Unlike Karyk who didn't reveal any aura, Gabriel had shrouded himself in a powerful aura of light.
The two men stepped closer to the guards, instead of going straight for the Captain of the Guards.
The guard raised his head, looking up and down. He asked to see their invitations.
Gabriel and Karyk showed the invitation tokens which luckily enough didn't have the name of the person that these were granted to.
After verifying the invitation, the guard opened a list of names. It contained the names of people who had affirmed that they were going to attend the banquet.
"I'm Wezitik, the second son of the Talon Clan. This is my guard, Agia," Karyk responded.
He didn't randomly close these names either. In fact, people with these names had actually entered the secret realm. The only difference was that they verified with the Captain of the Guards.
Unfortunately, the current guard wasn't there when those people verified and entered, so he didn't know. Moreover, these two names completely matched the list that was on his hands.
He stepped aside, nodding. At the same time, he ticked the two names in the list of names, not realizing that those two names were already ticked in another list.
Karyk and Gabriel walked past the guards, stepping closer to her heavily protected portal in the distance.
"Nervous?" Karyk asked Gabriel. Even he was slightly intrigued about how their meeting with the Four Generals was going to go. When it came to pure strength, the two of them weren't as strong as the Four Generals. That's why it wasn't easy. However, still, Karyk had something that he had prepared.
Karyk placed his hand on Gabriel's shoulder before walking inside the portal together, to make sure the two of them came out at the same place.
*****
Gabriel stepped through the portal, only to be surprised when he came out of the other side.
The world before him was nothing like Earth or the Southern World. It was a realm of pure beauty and wonder, where the sky was a kaleidoscope of colors and the ground was covered with soft petals.
He felt a gentle breeze caress his skin and heard a melody of birdsong and laughter. At the same time, he smelled the fragrance of exotic flowers and fruits and tasted the sweetness of the air.
This realm was beautiful to say the least. It was long a small world in itself, containing many precious natural treasures.
He walked forward, mesmerized by the sights and sounds, seeing creatures of all shapes and sizes, some familiar and some fantastical.
She saw beasts that he had never seen before, running around freely or flying high in the sky. The strange beasts weren't strong, but they appeared to add to the beauty of this place.
They all seemed to live in harmony. There were also trees that bore jewels and crystals, rivers that flowed with intoxicating water as if it contained alcohol, mountains that sparkled with snow and fire. There were also castles and temples, gardens and fountains, statues and paintings.
While Gabriel was lost in his surroundings, he felt a touch on his shoulder and turned around. He saw a man with beautiful long hair and eyes deep like an abyss.
"It's not the time to appreciate the beauty of this place."
