Chapter 275: Elevator (2)

"Jasper, how fast can you run?"

"Very" he replied

"Ok, this might be an infinite long space or world we're in, but I still want to make sure. So can you run along the hallway and if you haven't reach an end, return after 10 minutes. Take Diana with you, if we get lost, I can always find my way to my bond again"

Diana turned into a bid and perched tightly on Jaspers shoulder who turned into his beast form and ran with his full power.

-Dabria, any suggestions?-

-Well, you can anger the god like you did with Nike- Dabria suggested

-This world feels really ominous-

It took barely 2 minutes as Jasper magically appeared and clashed against the elevator.

-We somehow ended back here- Diana commented

-Reminds me of the tests Loki gave- Ace chimed in

*****

We got into the elevator again and pressed the button to change floors, we got an empty world where our elevator was in the middle of the sky, I tried to fall but nope, and endless loop of passing by the elevator.

Flew back in and joined the others, the cycle repeated for 8 days, we couldn't open a portal back since we sense a force interfering, so we saw a lot of things, a world where people live inside walls, a world similar to mine where they call abilities 'quirks' with this hero that have 2 twin tail, a world while there are wine instead of water...yeah, you get the idea.

We were already getting tired of the elevator, Jasper did find joy bathing in a lake of wine to help his sorrows, he got really really drunk, he flirted with a tree thinking that it was a beautiful woman, but please do not tell him that I had it recorded.

One day, the elevator opened and we were in this market place of some sorts as a lot of people from different species walk by. All of the phase through the elevator and didn't even notice its existence.

I touched it, and it was solid for me, asked a few passersby and like I thought, only us celestials can see or feel it.

"Well I marked the location, we can warp back whenever we need. So let's go explore a bit, I already hate that elevator."

"What do you think we should ask for?" Masked asked

"The gods they worship, even if no one believes in god, there's gotta be someone who can. We just need the names, there's got to be a few. When we get the names, we'll provoke them since gods are prideful. We'll kill them and go back home"

"You look a bit eager" Stella commented

"Well in several months, Damon will compete for the throne as a dragon lord, Lillian will give birth to a child whom a god has asked me to help take care of, and I made enemies with a few gods which normally should be quite an accomplishment"

"Erix wishes he can do that, it'll feed his excitement and lust for battle" Jasper chuckled

"Ok let's split up, Jasper, you go with Damon and Ace, Maska you go with Diana and Siege. I'll go ask around with Stella, ask people what gods they worship, we need to know which god is behind this world and why they pulled us in their world"

*****

We walked around for a while and asked them about the god they worshipped, most people chased us away thinking that we were some sort of crazy worshippers who would want to force them to change their religion until we find a nice enough stall owner who was willing to talk.

"The god of fire?"

"Yes, Azlin, why do you ask?" the stall owner asked

"You see, we're curious, I don't usually worship a god, so we've been trying to find different people worshipping different gods just to see why. But no one have been helpful"

"Well I'm glad I could help" the stall owner replied as I then gave her a gold coin which she was more than happy to take.

"Little brother, where is your engagement ring?" Stella asked

I then had to explain it to her that it was a big misunderstanding, blah blah blah.

"Why didn't you just play it off as an actual proposal then?" Stella asked "She accepted to marry you"

"Trust me, if I was to make a proposal, I'll make a more grand way of doing it...yes, I ask you to help me plan it, Parker included, no need to give me the look"

"That's my little brother" she smiled as we both then somehow walked into the other group back at the same spot we got out of the elevator despite going in 3 different direction and I made sure that we weren't circling back.

-I sensed that the 3 groups separated- Dabria commented-It was as if you are brought back-

We then had a discussion and all we got was the name Azlin.

"Well that's one god name despite spending 30 wasteful minutes...Ok Stella, it wasn't that wasteful, don't give me the look. You are a great person who can keep me company"

-Huh, strange- Dabria said

-What?-

-I just got a letter, we've been invited to a banquet of reincarnated?-

-All of us?-

-No, that's the worst part, I have to go there with only you and it's mandatory!- Dabria replied

-Oh thank god- Siege breathe a sigh of relief -Have fun you 2, if you die, we'll help prepare a large memorial-

-When?-

-Well you'll be missing Damon's tournament- Dabria replied

-Noooo!!! I want to watch a dragon battle royale, I made so much plans-

"What now? Elevator again?" Maska asked

"Yeah, I don't want to stay here any longer unless anyone need anything" Jasper responded

"No, let's go, maybe we'll go to a floor where the guy actually is and beat the fucking shit out of him"

And it seems to have jinxed us as the moment we clicked the button in the elevator, we moved quickly to the 666th floor.

-I always like the number, but mortals seems to vilify everything- Dabria said

The elevator door opened and the voice we heard are loud, screams of pain, crying of tortured and tormented souls. But despite all that, it looks similar to the hallway we seen earlier. But in the rooms of the infinite length hallway, each room are souls of the damned being tortured.

But unlike before, the elevator disappeared leaving us stuck on this floor.

"Fuck"

"Hehehehe" we heard a voice laughed and all of us got in our stance "Welcome to our world, world travelers, especially you Perseus Silver, we have looked forward to seeing you the most"

"Well I don't so, can you help send me to a friendlier world?"
