Lenny wasted no time.
He immediately rushed for the pocket space.
The moment he entered it, he walked straight towards the big tree.
He knew that he could not waste any more time, and he did not plan to.
As he walked for the tree, the Minatours naturally rushed at him, but Lenny pretended as if they did not exist.
After all, if something was no longer an obstacle, could one notice it?
It was like saying a passerby would notice an ant under his feet.
That was totally impossible.
In this manner, Lenny did not notice the existence of the Minatours.
As they attacked, they would stop in mid-air just when they were about to touch him and then be shot back.
It was as if there was this invisible shield around him, repelling anything and everything he considered unworthy.
Lenny had very much figured it out.
All this while, he was looking for what to poison the Minatours with—a method to hurt them but not provoke the invitation stone enough to change the scene.
However, he realized that what he needed to change was not them but rather himself.
Lenny figured out that the entire goal of the invitation stone was to repel everything except the person that was linked to it.
Remembering that matter is at its core energy and that everything is in a constant state of vibration, Lenny decided to do something else.
And that was when he came up with this plan.
All he had to do was change the energy of his molecular mass at will without changing his structure or density.
Now, such a feat would have been impossible in the old world.
However, Lenny was too focused to give up,and if the invitation stone could achieve repelling, then he could achieve both repelling and the force to attract.
All he had to do was play by the principles of physics that the invitation stone used.
After all, Ella had said it.
At the core of it all, the Invitation Stone still used the basic laws of physics.
In light of this discovery, Lenny calculated that it was not that the secondary laws had changed, but that they mixed entirely differently, and that was why this place looked like a game.
There was an old saying in his former world: If you can't beat them, join them.
But Lenny did even better. He became whatever was needed, not just joining them.
This was the reason why those tables moved away from him when he walked.
It was because he changed the energy of his molecular density to push them away.
A far more simple example would be how a magnet works.
This meant that those he wanted to attract, he would attract, and those he wanted to push away, he would do the same thing.
All he had to do was think of what he wanted to happen, and that was it.
Once at the tree, Lenny did not even need to climb it.
Instantly, he elevated into the sky, and there at the peak, he found what he wanted.
He found what he was looking for.
The invitation stone
It was the size of a chicken egg.
It was blood red, and Lenny could see what looked like an ocean of souls swimming within it. At one edge, there were cracks that ran in a straight line.
It was obvious that this was the part of the stone that had been cut.
Ella had told him the truth.
I think you should take a look at
This was only half of the stone.
Slowly, Lenny stretched a hand, and then he took it.
The moment he did, he could not help but smile.
The stone was surprisingly warm to the touch.
If he were to describe it accurately, then he would say that it felt like the warmth blood gave.
Finally, he had gotten what he came for.
Finally, he could continue onward.
However, at this moment, Lenny noticed that the sky started to break apart.
This was the same thing for the tree and everything around it.
Lenny understood what was happening.
The space was beginning to break.
Without the stone, this reality could not exist.
Immediately, he let himself land with the fierce pull of gravity under his feet.
The moment he landed, he jumped into the portal, and he was once again back in the real world.
The portal closed behind him.
Lenny looked behind.
Everything behind was gone, replaced with just the sight of the garden.
He noticed something else.
The moment the portal disappeared, the garden seemed to suddenly bloom like it should, no longer looking like a garden from a video game.
~Clap~Clap~Clap~
"I have been trying to get that stone for many, many years, and you did it in less than a week. You are an incredible man, Lenny Tales." Ella complimented.
Lenny stood up to his feet. He could feel the effects of the drug he had taken wearing off already.
Then again, he had already accomplished what he intended it for anyway.
Lenny had a cocky smile on his face. He had achieved the impossible with the impossible.
He lifted the invitation stone to his face.
However, the moment Ella stretched for it, he waved his hand, and it was gone.
He had sent it into his storage unit.
He chuckled a bit, "Thank you. But we don't have time for this. We only have a few hours before Ciri finishes her spell," he pointed to the rumbling sky.
Ella looked above and nodded.
"I have already readied everything we will be needing."
"Wait a minute. WE!?"
"Yes, 'We' I'm coming with you."
"And how are you going to do that? The moment you step out of this place, you'll summon that thing."
Ella chuckled.
"Don't worry! I have my ways," she turned around as she screamed, "Arthur!"
Instantly, the giant monkey appeared.
Lenny remembered this giant monkey.
However, this one looked a bit different in shade.
Just then, others of its size appeared.
