Chapter 572

Seconds later, there’s one other loud crash and explosion because the serpent’s downward momentum hits one other island’s base.

Then, one other, and one other.

Earlier than my eyes, a path of destruction is created by the sky.

A number of the islands start to crack and disintegrate even earlier than the monster hits them. The sheer overwhelming strain of its inexperienced aura obliterates the whole lot in sight.

I am held excessive within the sky in a blue orb of sunshine, like a tiny lightning bug shimmering between the city-sized cyan-colored armored guards on the serpent’s again.

It does not even appear actual.

The serpent’s flight path begins to show upward, nevertheless it takes the destruction of over ten extra islands earlier than we start to angle up into the sky once more.

Its impossibly lengthy physique follows its head, however the downward momentum nonetheless takes out just a few extra whole islands whereas it turns fully.

Because the 1000’s of black bushes fall into the countless sky under, I see all of them start to vary in shade.

The second they’re hit, none of them break and even sway underneath the strain. They’re all as inflexible as stone.

Nevertheless, as soon as they’re in freefall, every island seems to have a small black shiny orb at their facilities linked to the chains that connect with the ocean under.

As their mass is disrupted, and these small cores fall with the damaged chains, most of the black bushes, whose roots have been seemingly siphoning life from these cores, begin to have altered appearances once they’re separated from the supply.

The bushes flip gray, then white. Once they collide within the air, they break aside like fragile glass and are blown away within the wind similar to the fragments of rock from the islands.

The one factor that stays in a superbly stable state because it falls away and out of my notion is one black shiny orb per island.

My greatest guess, wanting on the sight earlier than me, is that every forest was actually only a single organism rising from one central core. Nevertheless, at these excessive speeds and on this chaotic environment, I can not precisely discern what is going on on.

Ember’s phrases about how taking one in all these bushes out of the assemble could be a worthwhile concept come to thoughts.

I try to activate my spatial magic at lengthy vary to let one fall into my storage, however I can not seem to activate any magic outdoors of the blue dome I am trapped in.

They’re most definitely all falling into the ocean under, so if I’ve the possibility, I can go swimming to search out them finally… Nevertheless, the extra I take into consideration the probability of this taking place, the truth of this case actually sinks in.

The serpent’s head factors to the sky and we transfer upward at unimaginable speeds, leaving the obliterated islands behind and out of my imaginative and prescient in seconds.

All there’s is countless sky round me.

I see the highest of the snake’s head and two guards holding me captive as I am rocketed towards the highest of the assemble.

It is doable to guess how briskly I am shifting at first, because the fragments of the island are nonetheless in my imaginative and prescient, however as soon as we make it excessive sufficient into the sky the place they’re gone, all I can see once I look behind me is the tail and physique of the serpent wriggling within the air to push us upward.

Once more, it feels as if I am stationary inside this orb, however I am sure we’re nonetheless shifting upward.

As a lot as I attempt to unfold my notion aura outward, nothing leaves this 30m spherical cage.

I downgrade into my base human kind and let loose a sigh, mendacity again in mid-air, and let the upper lifeforms take me for a journey.

Their energy is just too immense to even try something.

Merely being inside ten kilometers of the inexperienced serpent introduced me near demise even whereas utilizing each talent and hidden skill I had accessible to me.

Contemplating the widespread development, these blue guards have to be the core above inexperienced, far stronger than this serpent.

If I’ve no likelihood of even respiration the identical air as a inexperienced core, making an attempt to flee or problem two cyan knights whose clear power our bodies are bigger than the floating islands will probably be unimaginable.

In the event that they needed me lifeless, it could have occurred earlier than I even knew they have been making an attempt.

Wherever these beings are taking me, it is precisely what Ember most definitely had in thoughts for letting out an assault like this, so I will see the place it leads.

I let loose a sigh, inserting my ft up on a small manifested little bit of yellow divine power whereas I put my palms behind my head to loosen up whereas floating greater and better into the sky.

One of many guards retains me floating above its spear whereas the opposite leaves us, persevering with its march upward into the darkish blue abyss of even denser divine power.

We wait, and I stare up into the nothingness ready for the knight to return.

It takes over an hour for any motion to look once more, and what I see hurtling my means is not what I anticipated to see.

The hand of a darkish blue large, with fingers bigger than the guard that accompanies me, stretches out from the darkness above.

Its darkish blue tendrils of power threaten to tear open holes on this assemble because it reaches downward, and it lastly will get shut sufficient for me to see the remainder of its hand, and a part of its forearm, however its head is just too far up within the sky for me to see. Not even its elbow or shoulder is seen as they’re a whole lot, probably 1000’s of kilometers away.

The cyan knight steps again, leaving me floating in empty area as the enormous’s darkish blue hand comes down towards me.

It seems to be shifting in gradual movement within the sky, however in actuality, it is shifting extraordinarily fast and this can be a distinction in perspective. I already realized my lesson in underestimating huge falling objects once I was nearly crushed by one of many islands earlier than awakening my orange and yellow core.

Seconds move, nevertheless it seems like an eternity.

An enormous orb of darkish blue power begins to kind across the large’s hand, making a sphere a whole lot of kilometers thick.

As soon as it strikes downward, the hand strikes beneath me, and the large blue sphere totally kinds as soon as I am inside to create one other hermetic seal.

Earlier than my eyes, the darkish blue power within the dome eats away at the entire cyan aura inside it.

The blue threads even eat away on the cyan ball I am nonetheless floating in.

It dissolves in seconds, dissipating into the air, and the darkish blue threads all transfer again towards the outer barrier of the sphere fully avoiding me.

By the point the sphere inside the enormous’s palm strikes upward, the within is totally cleared out, it is as clear and divine energy-free as the actual world outdoors in right here.

Once more, as I am thrust upward by the enormous’s hand, I do not really feel like I am shifting in any respect. The one means I can inform is the truth that the cyan knight under me disappears like a tiny gentle that flashes out, and I am plunged into the darkness of the thick blue aura above.

I do know I am shifting far quicker than the serpent’s journey and the 2 cyan guards by quite a bit now, nonetheless, I can not see previous the forearm of this large, so it is almost unimaginable to inform how precisely I am even shifting.

To me, it simply appears like this huge arm is elevating me into the sky and its most important physique is not even shifting.

In lower than a minute, the environment outdoors of the sphere on the enormous’s hand drastically adjustments.

It will get darker and darker, and I can inform the air strain and warmth outdoors are at limits unfathomable for my mortal thoughts and physique to understand.

No matter this creature is, and wherever I am going, isn’t someplace many, or probably any individuals have gone earlier than.

Simply as these ideas come to thoughts, there’s one other abrupt change.

The darkish blue aura of the environment fully ceases.

It is seen under me now, and it appears like I’ve simply been thrust by a darkish cloud line.

The large’s hand lifts me upward, and on the similar time, I watch the highest of the darkish blue dome fade away.

There are no blue threads up right here in any respect.

The sky is totally void of divine power, all I see is a single speck of purple within the middle of my imaginative and prescient as I stare above.

The purple dot grows and grows the extra the hand rises from the darkish blue sea of threads under, and the dome round me fully dissipates.

My eyes open extensive as soon as my notion expertise can lastly stretch outward and see the place I actually am.

The purple gentle earlier than me connects to the outer fringe of this assemble, it is what I noticed a glimpse of once I first woke up my sight with the crimson cores.

I whisper to myself whereas I am thrust additional and additional upward by the enormous’s hand.

“That is it. They’ve introduced me to the highest… however why?”
