"Ok let's go and clean ourselves before dealing with anything else." after he said that Dan took a step forward with the Crystal still in his hands as he was going to leave it in his room.

But after taking that one step he stopped and looked at his feet with a surprised expression on his face, he felt something weird after he moved that one step, it was different and kind of weird he wasn't even sure of what he felt.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" Seeing his surprised and shocked expression Randy asked him.

"I don't know I felt something weird after taking that one step, it was as if that step was way easier than before, I know it sounds weird but that's the only word I could think of to explain how it felt, it was as if it didn't take that much effort as it did before." Dan explained uncertainly.

The change was so small that he wouldn't have felt it if not for his better and stronger senses after going through the body tempering technique.

Then he tried taking another step but this time he focused and tried to make sure if what he had just felt was true or not, and just as he expected when he moved his foot he felt, in a weird way he felt that he was lighter, it was like when you are lifting a heavy weight for a long while then you put it down, it was that kind of feeling.

After he made sure that it wasn't just a hallucination and that there really was a difference, no matter how small it was, he looked at the Crystal in his hand.

If he thought about it rationally the only thing that changed between the last time he moved and after feeling that change was him holding the Crystal, so he understood that it was the reason of the change in that he felt.

"Nero, here try moving while holding this Crystal." Dan turned to Nero and said as he handed him the Crystal.

Even though he didn't understand what was happening, Nero could only nod his head and take it.

He tried taking a step forward but then he stopped and looked at Dan in astonishment, he finally understood why Dan was acting that weird.

"You felt it too right?" Dan asked him even though he already knew the answer from his expression.

Nero nodded his head before handing it to Randy who didn't understand what they were talking about.

After all of them tried the Crystal and it's affect they again stood there in silent till Dan broke the silence by saying:

"So it makes us lighter somehow."

"It seems so." Nero and Randy nodded their head.

"before you said that dragons aren't supposed to have those in them, so does this mean that this have something to do with how the gravity isn't effecting us the way it is supposed to be." Randy asked.

"Can it be that all of us have Crystals like those indeed our bodies?" Nero asked in astonishment after understanding what Randy's words meant

"That's possible, after all with the change in the mass of the planet, the gravity was supposed to be way stronger then it is, and that kind of gravity would have destroyed us and almost everything on the surface of the earth, but all of us are still alive and kicking, and everything in the world is still good so it's either that physics' laws had changed, or there must be something effecting this new strong gravity, in this case it can be the Crystals." Dan said.

"So now we have antigravity Crystals inside us huh?" Nero said while sighing.

"Ok for now just keep it in your room, we will talk about it later and we might even find a use for it than." Randy said to Dan.

Dan nodded his head before taking the Crystal from Randy, then each of then left for his own room, soon after that they had their dinner.

After that Dan asked everyone to wait in the dining room as he left to get what he promised them, he left for the hold and got some dragon blood, before giving everyone a drop, even Mad Dog and the other blood power users got theirs.

For the baths they used ocean water as normal water was way too precious to be used as a bath water.

And before they left he told them about the body tempering technique, as he thought that them using such a huge amount of dragon blood just for a normal blood bath was a waste, of course he just told them about it and didn't make them do it by force, he gave them the freedom to choose if they wanted to do it or if they just go through a normal blood bath.

As he expected, not a lot of people choose to go with it, only six, Allan the weird gate keeper, Barry, old Frank, Robert, Mad Dog, and the bald middle aged man.

After he finished using the body tempering technique on them he returned to his room before he too got a bath ready and entered it.

But something weird happened as he entered the blood bath.

He felt something like a call coming from some part of his room and he wasn't able to concentrate, finally standing up after a long while of staying under the water without breathing he started looking around him searching for the location of the call.

But he wasn't able to feel it, thinking for a bit he calmed down and noticed that whatever was affecting him and making him feel that way had disappeared.

he entered the bath again, and just like before as soon as he entered the blood bath he felt the same feeling as before, it was as if something was calling him, this time he didn't got up and tried searching for its general location, because he felt that the same thing as before will happen and that the calling will simply disappear, so he started concentrating and trying to locate where it was coming from.

It didn't take him long before he was already done, as he felt that it was coming from one corner of the room.

Leaving the blood bath he looked at the place where that feeling was coming from and he saw a clear beautiful Crystal there.

He got up and moved toward it, before lifting it and starting to look at it with a contemplating expression, a while later he stood in front of the blood bath with the Crystal still between his hands.

He then put the Crystal in the blood bath as he felt that that was the reason why he kept having that feeling of calling.

He concluded that because of the dragon blood and the Crystal both came from the same being, there was some attraction between them, and that attraction could only be felt by whoever is inside the blood bath.

He was able to conclude all of that but he didn't know if what he came up with was true or not, and if it was true what effect those two together will have on him.

So he just stood there while looking at the bath for a long time before finally giving a hopeless laugh while shaking his head and entering the bath.

In the end his curiosity won over him and he decided to enter the bath and see what would happen.

As soon as he entered the blood bath he noticed something weird, he didn't find the Crystal inside the bathtub, as even though he put a head sized Crystal there a few moments ago, when he entered the bathtub he didn't feel it at all, it was as if it dissolved inside the bloody water.

Unfortunately he didn't have a lot of time to think about it, because as soon as he entered the bath and noticed the disappearance of the Crystal he felt a horrible pain all over his body, it was as if thousands of needles were stabbing him all over his body.

The pain was unimaginable it was as if all his muscles were being ripped apart by something that was trying to enter his body forcefully without caring about what he was feeling, it destroyed any and everything in its way in order to make it to where it was going.

Dan couldn't move because his muscles were nothing more than ripped tissues and he could do nothing except staying under the water while the thing which was trying to enter his body kept on moving inside his body, showing no sign of stopping.

With his last remaining thread of consciousness Dan was finally able to know where that rampaging power inside his body was heading too.

It was his heart, that thing which was destroying everything inside his body was heading toward his heart, finally understanding that Dan started wandering if he was going to die.

When the first of those rampaging currents made it to his heart Dan finally lost consciousness because of the pain that he felt, it was an unimaginable pain that shocked him to the point where his body shutdown.

02nd area: inside Adam's palace:

The seven gods of area 02 and their right hand men were setting around a table, they were discussing an important matter which was how to deal with the invaders who appeared in their country a few days ago.

"We should be the first to attack, they already came to our land once, what would stop them from coming again?" Carlos the barbarian said with his strong voice.

"I'm with Carlos in this, we should take the war to their land, we should attack first and take a part of their land to ourselves this way they won't have time to attack us, while we would use that land as a starting point for our attack toward the other parts of their world." Lucas the lord of the ground sided with Carlos's opinion.

"This can't be accepted, we can't just go and attack them, we already showed them our power when they tried to kidnap us, I think that that's enough, who knows what we would start if we attacked them.

"I think that it would be better for all of us if we just get our soldiers ready for anything that might happen, if they start attacking we will go by your plan and we will attacked them and take the war to their world, and if they won't, that would be even better." Athena's cold voice sounded in the room as soon as Lucas finished his words.

Just by speaking it seemed as if the temperature of the room dropped a few degrees, even the other six gods felt uncomfortable by that.

Athena was a special existence among the Seven Gods; she appeared out of nowhere beat the old God of the north easily as if she didn't even use her full power.

She also rarely participate in any meetings or parties, what's worst was that even while having some friendly fights against the other six Gods she always come out victorious while never using her full power, and at the end of each fight she would always look the same as always as if she still could go on, of course in those fights none of the other Gods used their full powers and all of them had their life saving technique or treasure that they put their full trust in, but so does Athena...

That wasn't all, she also never let anyone get close to her, it's like she only trusted herself and no one else.

Because of that, only one person could talk to her normally and say whatever he wanted and that person was someone who was as mysterious as her, the Poison God Snake, he was the only one who showed contempt and anger to her openly, without her saying anything to him.

It seemed to the other Gods that those two knew each other, except that no one could prove it as that concerned two of the most mysterious people in the world.
