Chapter 206 - The Dark Infinity

This time after spouting out his profound knowledge Sen didn't feel irritated nor pissed off. For some reason he was getting a feeling something wrong, something bad was going to happen. He was getting the same feeling which he got on earth before the showdown with the ancient ghost, flowed by a force unlocking of his power.

But then again, he dispersed all the feeling muddling in his mind and concentrated on the current situation on hand. All the giants sleeping there were missing a cultivation star. More like as if their cultivation star was stolen or forcibly taken out of them.

The head of the tiger also felt something was wrong and went near the giant sleeping nearest to him. The other giants on guard duties pointed their weapons towards him, but the giant who had been talking with them since the beginning asked them to let the tiger do whatever he wants.

Since the tiger was also a cultivating beast, he touched the forehead of the giant with his own forehead and tried to sense his condition. And just like Sen, the head of the tiger found out that the giant was missing his cultivation star.

He turned around and nodded to his other mates. The tiger that had attacked Sen earlier some days ago nodded back and went out running somewhere.

Not only Sen but also the other giants had doubts, on what did they talk in a nod, and where did that tiger go running?

Half an hour later, the tiger returned with a white tiger cub in his mouth. Sen had a look at the tiger cub, and his eyes widened.

The same face, the same eyes, the same nose, everything was the same. The tiger cub before him was none other than Shiroe, his contracted chaos spirit.

Before anybody said something or did anything, Sen jumped to the ground from his illusionary dragon and went near the white tiger cub, having a size similar to that of a big mammoth.

The tiger grabbed him in his mouth and Sen was about to do something and hence he slowly put the cub on the ground and took a few steps back.

Sen went near and had a close look at the face of the small sleeping tiger again. He patted the cub with his tiny hands and went near his stomach to check something.

As expected, the cub was also a victim of the same tragedy. He was missing his cultivation star, and without one, his body's power fulfilling supply was entirely cut off.

Sen turned towards the head of the tiger, then towards the giants.

"Now care to tell me, how and when it all started?" Sen asked in a low voice.

"Some days ago," replied the head of the tiger.

"A month ago," replied the giant who had been talking with them since the beginning. He also added the cases became frequent in the mid of the month and totally stopped some days ago.

Sen asked them the place where the unconscious body of the giants was found?

And the giant told them they found it mostly in the forest, near the cave area. The head of the tiger frowned over it and asked him about the location of the cave.

And as anticipated, it was near the same cave where the divine tiger had lost his cultivation star.

After hearing out everyone, Sen became sure that the root of the problem was that cave. Something or someone was inside that cave who was stealing the cultivation stars from everyone's soul sea.

Doing so was not impossible, but doing that to that many in just a month was something that was most shocking for them.

While Sen was pondering about one more memory popped up in his mind that he had heard a long time ago. Victor, the chef, and the special forces agent, from whose shop he had eaten dosa for the first time, his wife was suffering something similar to what the giants and the divine tiger was suffering.

Thinking more about it Sen began to get a bad feeling about it. Deep in his mind he knew he was missing something there, some sort of similarity was there. But what, he didn't know at that time.

Past, present, future. World, parallel world, and infinite world, were the terms bubbling up in his mind. Unaware of the truth that he was missing the biggest clue there, he asked the head of the tiger to take him near that cave.

All of them agreed and led the way for Sen up to that cave. Since the matter somewhat involved the giants, some other giants followed him with their weapons on hand.

After walking some distance from the giant civilization, all of them reached near the cave. As it was the main reason and he suspected the giants getting their cultivation star stolen, they had surrounded that area with giant magic stones. Which would prevent someone's entry to that area.

One of the giants came forward to move the stones from their positions to deactivate the barrier around it when Sen stopped him and said, "Not needed."

He waved his hand with a wisp of his mental energy, and the barrier disappeared from the air. No one was shocked anymore, since they had already recognised Sen as a powerful cultivator.

The more Sen went near the cave, the more his heart began to beat. Not only his heart but also his body was telling inside the cave was something that he may not want to see.

An evil, ominous aura was coming from inside that was making him feel goosebumps throughout his body. Though he was aware, it was his first time feeling that, still then he was somewhat hesitant to believe in it.

Amidst of his confusion, something began to reverberate in his mind. And this time it was none of the profound knowledge inherited from his parents.

"The dark infinity was cold and empty

Only 12 jewels were adorned on it.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Indigo, 

Violet, Purple, Silver, Olive, Gray, Brown, and Blue were their colors.

Time was passing peacefully and the souls on 

the jewels were passing their time peacefully.

Until one day when the infinity trembled, 

Trembled the jewels, and a rift appeared in the dark.

A rift connecting this world to another.

Many souls were looking at it when emerged a creature from

inside and looked towards the Violet jewel.

The dark infinity trembled again, and the violet became

Black. He slept in the infinity for some decades and woke

up again to devour the power of Purple and make it black.

He continued the same till a single jewel was left alone, and

That was the jewel of blue. The last jewel containing the souls

Of many.

No hope was left, their end was near. In the time of blue ornaments despair,

the infinite dark trembled again, and another

a rift appeared.

Seven bright stars emerged from it and sealed off that creature.

The damage done was irreversible, so as a compensation

to the dark infinite, they created many ornaments for it.

And the departed souls were embedded in it."

"The jewels produced many legends

And the Blue jewel was the one standing at the top

Shining like a bright star.

The souls forgot the Seven Sages and their 

Teaching was the only thing that was left behind as a legacy.

On a day when the nature was blooming, the bird were

singing and the fish were flowing, the Blue jewel trembled 

And trembled the dark infinite again.

New soul of the jewels, unaware of the consequence

Found out the sealed temple of the creature and tried to

open it from outside.

And as the idiom says curiosity killed the cat

Here curiosity killed the mythical dragon.

The one who opened the seal was the Dragon Emperor of

that time. The soul who had defeated a thousand dragons and bathed in their blood to become a dragon himself.

The seal was broken, and the creature came out, 

He looked around in fury and kicked the ground."

"Kicked the ground!!" exclaimed Aryan.

"Yea…., At least that's what was written in that translated version." informed Sir Jean.

"Oh, okay. Please continue," said Aryan and let Sir Jean continue again.

"The earth shattered and came out a huge

Stream of water, not only in one place. But in

places all around the Blue Jewels.

The water continued to come out, and that was the

Beginning of the Great Flood."

"The dark infinity was cold and empty

Only 12 jewels were adorned on it.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Indigo,

Violet, Purple, Silver, Olive, Gray, Brown, and Blue were their colors.

Time was passing peacefully and the souls on

the jewels were passing their time peacefully.

Until one day when the infinity trembled,

Trembled the jewels, and a rift appeared in the dark.

A rift connecting this world to another.

The dark infinity trembled again, and the violet became

Abruptly Sen opened his eyes and looked towards the cave with red shot eyes.
