Chapter 480 [480] The Crystal Palace.
?480 [480] The Crystal Palace.
It was a palace. A grand palace.
The walls of ice were carved in intricate ways to possesses a grand beauty, and the sheer size of the construct was massive.
Alan, gasped when he saw the sheer size of it. In front of him, the water level remained the same, but there was something different.
A throne of ice, behind which were multiple crystals i an orderly fashion, designed to enhance the grandeur of the frosty throne.
The stairs leading up to the throne were quite peculiar. Instead of regular steps, they were carved in like the bodies of snakes piled on top one another, leading towards the elevated ground that held the throne.
The entire area seemed to possess an ethereal aura, something which pierced into his body...but that was not what he was looking at.
Behind the throne, was a statue. But it was not the statue of a king or an emperor.
But it was of a snake, made from white jade with green emeralds, as large as cars for eyes.
The snake's head and a little bit of its upper body were visible, but the rest of the body was shrouded in darkness, behind the throne. Was it endless? Alan didn't dare try to find out.
'...'
He gulped, as a strange pressure enveloped his being. Cautiously, he walked forward, looking everywhere in order to not be caught off guard. The water level remained the same, and Alan reached the first step, surprisingly, it was not slippery at all.
The round body of a snake and the texture of it made it appear like it would be a chore to walk on it daily, but that could not be further more from the truth...it was quite rigid. His feet felt like magnets attracting iron, giving him a stable grip on the floor.
He proceeded. The second step, the third, the fourth and so on, all this time, his attention was on the snake statue made from white jade behind.
'James...'
He muttered, as he found strings of letters behind the throne, on the crystals. They were foreign to him, consisting of symbols he had never ever seen before. Whatever language it was, it didn't belong to Earth, that was certain.
Alan touched the symbols, and all of a sudden something happened. He could...understand the letters.
The crystals reflected his glowing eyes, and because of them he was made aware they were like that.
The letters reorganized themselves, The language seemed so familiar to him now, like his tongue was made to speak it, and only it. Only that language was worthy of his speech.
"Humans..."
The first word was deciphered.
"Domain."
The second one.
"Special power."
The third and fourth. And so on.
"To dominate...or is it rule?"
Slowly, connecting words appeared between the main words. Forming a proper sentence.
"The special ability of Humans... To create a domain to rule over."
As he spoke, the space shook. The crystals seemed to come to life, and the throne began to glow a blue hue. Veins, like thunder, appeared on the crystals and went towards the throne. The throne became a beacon of light, but that was not it.
The veins spread out from the throne, and encompassed the large space. The entire space began to shine. Each and every vein seemed to possess its own...uniqueness. One that Alan couldn't quite pinpoint right now.
Before Alan could even admire it. He felt his heart being gripped. Shivers ran down his spine as he followed his instincts to hurriedly turn around.
But it was too late, and his body was thrown against the hard crystal wall.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
