The bronze gates, materializing from nothing, stood erect in a courtyard engulfed by the Immortal Fire, seemingly existing since ancient times. Their colossal presence sent chills down the spines of Rafael and his companions, who were tens of meters away.
The surrounding 'Undying Flames' surged instantly, greedily attempting to devour Heaven's Gate, but the flames seemed to be influenced by some force, and they visibly twisted as they neared the gates.
Lynn, who struggled to control the raging sea of fire, soon realized that it was not the flames that were distorted, but the entire space itself!
The massive gate stood like a star, altering the space and time around it as it stood there.
Accompanied by sounds that echoed like great bells, the bronze gates opened a mere crack, an immense oppressive force solidified in the void, and ethereal hymns resounded beside everyone's ears.
