Path to The Soul World

Once Khal used a little bit of his strength on the gate which until now didn't even budge when Neo tried to push it open, unclogged with relative ease, revealing a scenery that was completely different from the scenery inside the Soul Prison.

"W-What is this place?" walking through the now opened gate with cautious steps, Neo looked left end right with widened eyes which flickered with disbelief.

Emerald green grass, towering trees with different colored leaves, dense bushes, azure blue sky, and milk-white clouds that from below looked rather fluffy, almost as if they were wool of sheep.

Compared to the world back in the Soul Prison where everything was gray and single-colored and where there existed nothing, not even a small rock or a strand of grass, this was such a huge change that Neo's complexion brimmed with delight and eagerness.

"Am I... finally free?" Neo asked excitedly, tears ready to flow out of his eyes from joy.
