《Celestial Journey》[The Mysterious Body]
Advertisement
A few days later, the princess woke up to a bright light coming from the window of her tent, as she reached for the curtains she heard the bustling sound of a city coming from right outside her tent.
Confused, she stretched and dressed herself, put on her armor and went outside, the sight that greeted her was that of many tents and campfires as well as hundreds of humans, beastmen, and other races including the rare elves and even rarer dark elves...
With a blank look on her face memories started flooding her brain as the same blank look soon illuminated then darkned considerably a moment later as she finally awoke completely from her morning haze.
Sigh
With steady steps she marched towards the Knight Captain Zark, after arriving close enough she heard him greet her with enthusiasm.
"Good morning your highness !"
"Yes, yes... How are things going ?" She could not hide her dejected voice, as everytime she looked around she could see outsiders chatting and drinking while some other working, all of them trying to steal her potential benefits.
"Well there hasn't been much progress, this giant body is a mystery, but we found some clues as to what might have happened to the A-Rank and B-Rank monsters that died near the body. Also, our researchers as well as court magicians are incapable of knowing if the body is alive or not, there are no breaths, no heartbeat, neither is there even movement or sound in the slightest. 'It looks like a lifelike statue', is what they said."
After hearing the report from her trusted subordinate, the princess then asked.
"Then tell me, how did these monsters die like this ?"
"Well after some tests with tamed monsters and such, we soon found that some sort of barrier is covering the body, it is invisble to the naked eye and to be honest, even our court magicians cannot feel anything.
It also appears that this barrier is retracting and expanding in a rythmic manner, this is also what we believe is the cause of the monsters' deaths. They probably tried to bite the body, but, with their maws wide open, the moment the barrier expanded on them, with it's power, the jaws were probably snapped backwards, as the monsters could not close it anymore, their maws were forced open until it became flat, their fangs being forced inside their maws backwards as well."
"This is the conclusion of our tests, such scene appeared quite often."
The princess took some time to digest this information as she then turned her attention towards the body.
"Well then, let's go, I refuse to lose this opportunity !"
-----300 Years Later-----
'Man this seal is almost gone ! Finally ! Just a few more moments... here... there... then turn this part before shattering this one.' Alexander was estatic at the thought of removing this annoying array, while 300 years might be a long time, for an Immortal that has lived for millions of years, such wait felt nothing more than an instant.
'Annnd~ there !!'
*Crack*
*Rumble !*
As the sealing array cracked and shattered Alexander could feel his senses coming back instantly, he first started by spreading his divine sense around him, soon covering the entire planet he was in.

In the next instant he quickly realised he was in the middle of nowhere, with tens of thousands of people around him, it seemed a city had been formed all around the crater his body was in, Alexander could not tell if this city was there and he happened to crash into it, or if it was built after his landing.
*Shine*
As his body shined with a bright light he started to reduce his body size until he was two meters tall.
'Alright ! Now let's see where I... am ...?'
A look of surprise immediately formed on his impassive face.
'Mana ? That's mana is it not ? There is no way such impure, weak and disgusting energy can be anything else, that means this is a Tier-2 World, which then mean I fell down so far I reached the Lower Realms...'
The Universe was divided into multiple layers, realms of sorts, stacked on top of each other, there were many tiers, from 1 to 10 if one was not taking into account the Origin-Tier, standing as technically the 11th Tier.
As for their worth, Tier-1 was the worst, and Origin-Tier was the best.
Inside each 'realms', worlds were always the same tiers, if one was inside the Lower Realms for example, it was only possible to find natural Tier-1 Worlds to Tier-3 Worlds, if one wanted to leave and reach a different 'realm' or plane, they needed to go up or down physically.
While worlds were put at random places inside their respective planes, the planes themselves were layered on top of each other, unmoving.
So seeing as he had reached the Lower Realms, Alexander could not help being slightly surprised as to how far he had been sent from the old man's punch.
"It's been so long since I have used my divine sense to scan and evaluate lowly life forms such as these, I can't tell them apart, they are all bottom of the barrel weak, at least it seems to be devoid of cultivators."
After his disdainful thoughts, Alexander stood up and as he was about to start walking, he saw tens of what appeared to be knights and guards looking at him in shock and disbelief as well as some fear and greed.
With their weapons drawn and aimed at Alexander, one knight, possessing a golden armor of sort, started speaking in a weird language.
"You ! Who are you ?!" The golden armored knight was, however, interrupted by a voice some distance behind him.
"Y-Your highness ! Y-Yes, t-this is him ! T-This is the body ! It's alive !!"
A panicked voice filled the silent region of the crater as a small, poor looking man started running, falling and tumbling from time to time, as he pointed with his finger towards Alexander.
Soon after, steady steps could be heard as some of the crowd around Alexander started cursing under their breaths.
"Shit ! It's the stupid immortal princess !"
"Shhh ! Do you want to die ?! Stop talking !"
"Quick, call for the guild master !"
Said young men in guard attires, ushing each other.
"What are you doing, go tell the Queen !" Said a dark skinned man with pointy ears to another young woman, with the same skin color as well as the same peculiar ears.

"Hey sister, go report to her majesty !" The voice of a middle aged woman resounded in the ears of a young woman, both of them with light skin and pointy ears.
Alexander was confused by the sudden outbursts all around him.
"What the fuck is going on ? I know I'm amazing and all but how about you all-"
Before he could finish his narcissistic words however, Alexander heard a voice screaming at him. Turning his head around, he saw the owner of this loud voice, a middle aged woman with long, blonde, curly hair and sky-blue eyes.
"You ! Are you the giant body that was in the crater ?! What is going on here ?!"
Alexander, not paying her words any mind, started to figure out the situation.
'Since I was in that crater for quite a while, I guess I became famous, after all, a gigantic body falling from the sky is probably not very discreet. Maybe they want to search for treasures or something...'
"Hey ! Who is the one with the highest authority in this place ?" Alexander's voice came out of his mouth booming inside the ears of everyone inside a 10 kilometers radius. Everyone inside it's radius felt his voice speaking loudly inside their mind, this experience creeped out almost all of them, as some even started fainting.
The princess was shocked by such means, but before she could approach him to introduce herself, hoping to gain benefits from her status, multiple voices came out from behind her as three figures shot forward, landing in front of Alexander.
"I am one of the leaders of this place, Guild Leader Vohrn of the Guild of Gradavur. Who are you sir ?" Said a tall middle aged man with short, brown, dishevelled hair and a brown beard, his sharp black eyes and sturdy scar filled body gave him an oppressive look.
"My name is Vanessa Letheria kind sir, are you the one who shouted earlier ?" Asked a beautiful young woman with light skin, blonde hair and pointy ears, her green emerald eyes charming the young men present near her.
"I'm Melissa, who are you ? You better have a nice explanation, my dark elf race is not known for it's patience !" Grunted a young woman with dark skin, black hair and fiery eyes accenting her pointy ears.
Alexander looked at each of them for a moment, and as he was about to speak, a woman's voice resounded behind the three leaders as a blonde haired woman stepped forward as she then said.
"I am the first princess of the Golen Sky Kingdom, Marie Sky-Crown !"
Her voice filled with confidence was soon overpowered by Alexander's annoyed voice.
"Are you also a leader of this shit hole ? Took you long enough !"
As these words sounded in the ears of everyone, not only Marie, but also Melissa, Vohrn and Vanessa narrowed their eyes at Alexander, while they understood that he could pose a threat to them, as leaders and known influential people, they obviously didn't enjoy being looked down upon, especially by someone coming out of nowhere.
"Alright, alright, no need to look at me like that. I had a great idea when I saw all of this around me !" Said Alexander, as he took another look to his surroundings, with his eyes this time, taking in the scenary of the bustling city all around him.
"I will give you all a chance ! I will create, here and now, a trial ground, the ones that make it to the end alive will be gifted incredible opportunities !!" With a smile on his face, Alexander turned his eyes away from the city, looking at the crowd in front of him. The reactions he expected however, were not many. As the voice of the Elf Queen Vanessa turned annoyed.
"Brat, are you joking with us ? Why did I waste almost 300 years in this place ?! I expected treasures, but it turns out to be a lowly human with some gigantification magic !"
Veins could be seen appearing on her forhead as her previously enchanting eyes narrowed in a wrathful expression.
And as the Dark Elf Queen and the Guild Leader were also about to lash out on Alexander they saw him frown before his eyes turned extremely cold, drenching their backs in cold sweat. Before the Elf Queen could speak further, realising her mistake, she could only see what appeared to be a giant transluscent red palm print rushing at her from above. She could not utter a word as she was crushed, her eyes filled with terror until her last moments, her body turned into a gruesome pool of blood and hair.
Seeing the scene that unfolded next to them, the Guild Leader and Dark Elf Queen had fear overwhelming their thoughts, in contrast to their expressions, Alexander could see that the princess Marie had a look of greed in her blue eyes.
'Heh ! That's better ! That's the look one must have ! Greed, get greedy, let me see how far you can go before you die a miserable death filled with regrets !' Alexander could not help praise Marie in his heart.
As for the other fools that tried to berate him, Alexander did not waste his time, killing one to set the example.
'Maybe I should've tortured her a bit ? She dared to insult my mighty human race, quite daring I see ! I guess I was a bit impulsive, well whatever...'
"Alright let's not waste any more time..." As Alexander finished his words, he then put his palms together as a bright golden light illuminated the entire city.
Before anyone could say anything, the light started to fade.
The sight that appeared before their eyes was breathtaking to say the least.
As every single person present inside the city had their mouth and eyes wide open, they saw a gigantic building, it's exterior sharp, a golden color.
The structure was rectangular, like a gigantic pillar reaching over 150 meters in height. On it's front, two gigantic golden doors over 50 meters tall.
Before any of them could recover from their shock, Alexander's booming voice resounded in their ears.
"For those who are not afraid of death, possess determination and are greedy for peerless treasures and opportunities, enter !"
*Rumble !*
As he finished speaking, the two giant doors slowly opened wide, inside, all that could be seen was a blinding golden light.
