Chapter 128: Entering the Dome

Of course, creating such a commotion in a public park would obviously attract the eyes of many people; and so all those that were present nearby stopped to look at whatever was happening.

Many were terrified to see a giant fist attack two people, but unable to do anything as they just used their phones to film the event.

Stark was wearing the bunny mask, so people couldn't recognize him as he entered the dome and closed the door behind.

And so just like that, people began to speculate more and more on the fact this was possibly the real 'bunny-masked man', and what he was doing here.

These simple videos from the people who witnessed what Stark had done would result in the popularity of the 'bunny-masked man' to grow even more than it already was.

...

'Hm...' after Stark closed the door, he turned around and found himself... in a completely black space?

I mean, literally, it was completely dark, with no way to identify the walls, floor or even ceiling, he couldn't see anything, and so navigating inside of this building seemed somewhat impossible.

Maybe this was made on purpose to stop any intruders.

But...

[Welcome, participant, to the Fellarburg ClassiTop Meeting of 2024!]

Suddenly, as soon as he took a step forward, making sure not to hit a wall, a blue panel appeared before him.

[Please follow the arrows to reach the 'Meeting Place'!]

And suddenly, white arrows began to flicker on the ground, leading him through the darkness.

It felt weird, why would they have such an elaborate setting for such an event, couldn't they just make a normal building and ask people to head toward a specific room?

'No... this feels weird...' Stark shook his head.

He still decided to follow the arrows as they were his only way to navigate this place without hitting a dozen walls.

And as he walked deeper into the darkness... he found himself in front of a circular elevator.

[Please select the lowest floor, and enjoy your stay!]

The elevator was illuminated, meaning that he could see it from afar, entering it without much issues.

'No ambush...' he mumbled, otherwise [Focus] would have warned him.

And so he did as he was told and clicked on the lowest floor, which was named 'Omega'.

~VROOUUUU~

The giant circular elevator closed and began to descend.

But te closer Stark got to these people and their meeting place, the more some sort of feeling inside of his heart grew.

Was he scared?

No, he wasn't.

Then was it stress? Anxiousness? Doubt?

'No... none of those either,' he smiled.

Whatever would happen beyond this door, it would surely change Stark's life, maybe for the better? Maabe for the worse?

'It doesn't matter...'

He placed both of his hands on the ring handles, then got ready to pressure into it.

But as he tried to do that...

[Stop.]

A crimson panel appeared before him and interupted him again.

~FWISH, VIOUUU~

He heard sounds behind him, and as he turned... he saw himself.

Well... not really himself, but a replica of himself created from aura.

[Are you really ready?]

It asked, looks like it couldn't speak either, so it used panels.

Not removing his hands from the handles, Stark looked back and spoke, "Were you the one who informed of this event?"

[...], the other Stark nodded.

"Then I can guess you aren't here to stop me, right?" Stark finally removed his hands from the rings and faced the other him.

[...], this time, it nodded its head and smiled, [No, I am quite happy about what we're about to do.]

"Then why stop?"

[I just wanted to say... well... that you should be more confident...]

"..." Stark looked at his hands, traces of aura still visible on them.

[Confidence is key, do not go in there thinking that it will be easy, you are me, and I am you, so just...], the other Stark momentarilly stopped before pointing at the door and smiling, [Prove to the world that we shouldn't be messed with...]

And just like that, it vanished, no... it didn't vanish, instead it went back into Stark.

The moment it did, he felt a surge of energy, and his aura became much stronger than before.

'...'

Stark then turned back toward the door.

He could hear the sounds of laughter, talking, and even some music, coming out from there.

[They are LAUGHING about our death!]

He remembered that panel, and closed his eyes while smirking, and once he opened them back up, they were shining with an aura so powerful it almost seemed like it was burning his pupils.

And so instead of opening the door the easy way like he wanted to do before...

~FWISH... BAM~

He focused his aura into his legs and absolutely smashed the door, destroying it in the process and revealing the interior of that meeting room to him.

Immediately... all eyes fell on Stark, and the music stopped.
