Chapter 1161: The Portal Of The Pocket Dimension Closes



The former leaders of the Bastion of Ashen Hope and its citizens widened their eyes in shock as they witnessed the astonishing scene. Soon, they trembled, wondering what kind of

terrifying force Paradise was.

Orion expanded the massive golden square door beside an immense pillar until it reached the opposite wall before stopping.

Then, Orion focused on the surprised expressions of the gathered masses.

"As long as you are willing to pledge your allegiance to Paradise and leave this place, take your belongings and valuables, and walk through this portal in an orderly manner. There are people on the other side waiting to welcome you. All you have to do is listen and obey their words without hesitation. You don't have to worry about encountering any issues as long as you can do that! For those unwilling to leave, you are free to remain!" Orion announced loudly.

A sudden silence enveloped the entire surroundings when he completed his words.

They hesitated. After five minutes, no one moved from their position. After another ten, a human man with his wife and two children stepped forward. A large bag was hoisted against their backs as they approached with solemn expressions.

They nodded gratefully toward Orion, Brane, and Zara and walked into the golden door, crossing over to the other side.

Their brave actions created a domino effect as several more individuals stepped forward, forming an orderly line as they entered the golden door.

Suddenly, after a day and a half, the golden door trembled.

"Everyone, stand back!" Orion commanded loudly.

The remaining Bastion of Ashen Hope citizens, awaiting their turn to walk through the golden door, obeyed his words, immediately stepping back with their expressions twisting in uncertainty and confusion.

The golden trembled as violent ripples spread across its surface, then slowly shrunk.

Orion frowned. Through his connection with the golden palace key, he sensed that it was being restricted by something. It only took a moment for him to understand what it was.

The portal to the pocket dimension was closing!

Ilse had informed him that the golden palace key would lose its ability to function properly if the spatial restrictions were powerful. Unsurprisingly, the barrier around Naka's former spatial laboratory was as formidable as he had anticipated.

Orion pondered deeply, trying to find a way out of the predicament.

Suddenly, his shadow rippled, and a figure emerged from it. Stunned, Orion snapped his head backwards, eyes widening in surprise behind his mask. To his astonishment, the figure was none other than Aurora.

"I sensed the portal to the pocket dimension closing and decided to come to lend my support. The restriction within the pocket dimension isn't as strong as it once was, or it wouldn't have opened within our territory. With my strength, I should be able to break through the barrier and open a stable gateway to the Golden Palace," Aurora said, smiling at Orion before turning her gaze toward the citizens of the Bastion of Ashen Hope and the unstable golden square door beside the pillar.

Orion nodded and willingly closed the shrinking gate, resummoning his key. He placed the golden key in his pocket.

Aurora summoned her sceptre, holding it in her left hand. She then took out her golden key and opened another door, just as large as the one Orion had previously opened.

"This is Goddess Aurora, one of the Divine Beings of Paradise," Orion gestured toward her. "You should thank her for being here, or the migration wouldn't have been successful."

Hearing his words, Gaverick and the others widened their eyes in shock and disbelief.

A goddess!

A genuine goddess! They inhaled sharply.

They had wondered what secrets Paradise possessed to become so powerful and were willing to lay down their lives to uncover them. But to their surprise, it wasn't about secrets at all.

They didn't only possess powerful warriors but also divine beings!

Gaverick's mind flashed back to his conversation with Brane and Zara during their meeting. At first, he had been confused by their words, but now, the pieces fit together. Instantly, he collapsed to his knees, prostrating before Aurora.

Bam!

Bam!

The others immediately followed suit.

"Thank you for your assistance, Goddess Aurora," Gaverick said, speaking on behalf of everyone. He wanted to laugh at himself for foolishly believing they could face Paradise and

emerge victorious.

Gaverick's voice cracked as he added, "If... you are willing to overlook and forgive our

previous foolish actions, we are ready to fully pledge our allegiance to Paradise and work until our bones break for its purpose."

He shifted his attention towards Orion and spoke on behalf of everyone once again. Whether they agreed with his words didn't matter; if they were unwilling to pledge their allegiance,

they would speak up themselves.

But how foolish would that be?

Fortunately, no one spoke, making Gaverick exhale inwardly. However, beads of sweat continued to form on his forehead as they all anxiously awaited a response. "Considering your past actions, you must prove yourselves and give Paradise a reason to accept your allegiance, let alone care for you. The time for negotiation is over. You should be thankful that you are all not yet dead," Orion responded, his tone and expression stern. Gaverick shivered but quickly nodded. "No problem... we are willing to do anything to prove our worth, no matter the treatment we receive," he replied.

The others behind him also nodded in agreement.

"Forgive me for asking this, Supreme Leader, but the others would..." Before Gaverick

could finish his sentence, a powerful force descended on his shoulders, forcing him to shut his mouth immediately. Blood dripped from his nostrils to the ground. "...Forgive me," Gaverick swiftly apologized, his expression fearful as he lowered his head
