Chapter 462 - 462: Lost in a new world

"I understand!"

"I understand!"

Blink and Clovis responded as they fell on one knee with their heads bowed slightly. Looking at them act the same way they did over a thousand years from now made Derik and Cyrus curse themselves for not asking them to drop the act a long time ago. Derik and Cyrus wore uncomfortable looks on their faces but  Blink and Clovis failed to notice since their gaze was pinned on the spatial wheel and they had a hint of excitement in their eyes. Over the months sent with Tanatos, their hatred for this old god slowly vanished as he kept contributing to the development of their empire and now the hatred has been replaced with genuine admiration. 

Tanatos has been creating amazing inventions from time to time and for different purposes. From inventions that help aid domestic chores to gadgets that help improve combat capabilities of fighters and even pieces of equipment that help to improve a person's affinity and proficiency with magic. Over the months Tanatos had struggled each time he tried to create gadgets that can strengthen the proficiency of special grade magic elements like death, life, spatial, gravity but each time he tried it always failed until today.

"Damn… Nice one man!" Clovis said, ignoring the fact he was speaking to a man who was once recognized as a true god but Tanatos didn't seem to care. In fact, he felt more comfortable when people spoke to him as equals and not as a higher being.

They have been chosen to go to a new world and secure the power source in the new god vein that caught Derik's attention. They weren't sure what was waiting for them at the other side of the spatial wheel and they were sure things could get bad fast. They also considered the possibility of meeting enemies at various levels, some weaker and some stronger and since this is a new god vein, they are not too familiar with the power system of this world but to them all these are excuses. In their opinion, all that matters is that they complete their mission no matter the cost!

Derik and Cyrus have given them everything needed to aid them in this journey. The first gift came in form of a ten man team under their command, comprising of five fighters and five mages of various classes with each well equipped to the teeth with the best of Tanatos inventions. Each of them have a cultivation base of the peak grade of the bronze realm, meanwhile when putting all their gadgets to use, they can further reach the low grade of the silver realm.

The second was a personal gift from Tanatos which allows them to continuously draw as much mana in the atmosphere as possible, that way they will never run out of mana in battles. The third came in form of the seals placed on their foreheads containing the powers of their masters. When released their strength would be instantly skyrocketed from the peak of the silver realm, to the peak of the gold realm! This way, anyone capable of harming them must be at the demigod realm. Since this can only be used once and its duration is not that long, its considered as the final card up their sleeves. Only when death is certain and victory is not visible are they allowed to use this but this did not matter much to them since they have been ordered to return right after.

As for their escape route and their ticket back home. Since the spatial wheel cannot be opened from that side of the realm, Derik had no other choice but to grant Blink and Clovis access to his realm at all times, meaning they can summon the gates of his domain and from within the domain they can now open a gate leading directly back to the empire.

"Have this" Derik said after giving matter some thought.

He grabbed the empty air and pulled alongside Cyrus, successfully tearing a hole in space. From it Derik pulled out the death scythe while Cyrus pulled out a golden crucifix. These were their favorite weapons, back in the day when they were just gold realm masters but now they strongly believed their successors should have them since its more useful to them.

'THANK YOU MASTER!" Both of them fell on their knees once again as they screamed those words with so much passion, Derik and Cyrus couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. In their opinion, after spending so much time with these two, their relationship should be a bit more casual just like that of Tanatos. Derik was going to scold them but seeing the genuine excitement on their faces while they gazed at their new weapoms like toys.

"Whatever!" Derik hissed as his eyes let out a bright silver light from his eyes as he walked towards the spatial wheel.

He could feel like the machine was calling out to him so he kept moving forward without any sign of hesitation. Reaching out towards the machine, Derik remembered Tanatos instructions and he acted accordingly. He focused on the image he could remember best from his vision! It was a battlefield littered with bodies from both humans and beast-men. An open green field located at the center of the continent which is one of the only unclaimed lands by three empires.

Xiu!

The bright silver light from his eyes shot towards the ring and upon collusion, a circular portal appeared within the ring, creating a powerful suction force which made Clovis, Blink and their ten subordinates struggle but Derik, Cyrus and Tanatos didn't seem affected by something so weak.

"Remember when faced with terrifying foes, remember who you serve… if necessary make it known to them… if they go ahead to bring harm upon you… when I return to this world personally… I will rain hell upon them!" Derik said before they were swept off their feet by the powerful suction force and pulled into the portal.

Bam!

The machine made a loud sound before shutting down, leaving only Derik, Cyrus and Tanatos in the room.
