62. The Approaching Calamity Part 1

Cheche vanished, and the only thing left from him was a pendant that Cleo wore before she walked back to the temple.

When she reached the temple, she sensed a crazy amount of imbalanced dark mana, the imbalance got her body trembling and her mana coming out on a human's form but all black with the very same creepy stitched smile she saw in her nightmares.

The dark mana walked, and Cleo followed it to the room she had left System 0 in. It moved through the big door like a shadow. Cleo flinched but sighed before she opened the door.

Unlucky like devils, she was met by a strike attack from something she couldn't see until she held into the roof and looked down. There was nothing, but she could hear sounds of slithers selling off their owner.

A hiss filled the silent room, and something big screeched its walls. Discomfort and danger-filled filled Cleo's senses and warned her of coming death. Cold sweat formed on her forehead before one of those drops fell on the stone ground. The second the sweat drop fell, a huge mouth appeared first in front of Cleo, she tried to jump, but the enormous serpent beat her to it and scratched her with one of its fangs.

Cleo hissed before she jumped further to one of the corners and behind one of the pillars around her. She wiped away the sweat on her face and neck. Cleo then sighed and turned on the gears in her head, and while thinking of a plan to deal with that big thing, she turned to search for System 0, but he wasn't where he was supposed to be.

"Shit! Where the hell are you?!" She whispered while looking around, but there was no soul around except hers, "darn it," she mumbled while rubbing the sides of her head before a headache approaching.

Her brain's gears kept turning, but she couldn't think about anything. It was as if she was forced not to think of a thing.

"Fighter's stats" she mumbled before a screen showed up in front of her with her latest updates.

"This is bad... Very, very bad" she thought, but before she acted the hisses rose again and got closer to Cleo who gasped before she jumped from her place.

Again, the enormous serpent beat her and attacked her before she escaped. It spitted out some poison and dropped on her left arm, "augh!" She groaned before she jumped higher to the roof and hid in the shadow.

"Upgrade Silence Wind stage two, Seal of the Moon's three stages, and Eclipse Deity stages two and three" she ordered and watched as the abilities she ordered for upgrading.

"Level up my stats to the max" she ordered right after and closed her eyes to feel the extra power move through every part of her body, but the dark mana showed up in front of her before its wide smile grew wider until it turned into a huge glowing white gate, swallowing Cleo and sending her to some unknown place.

"Game over" a hoarse voice said before it echoed through worlds and dimensions, it sent shivers down everyone and everything's spines.

They all stared at the roaring sky in terror, nothing was happening but the sounds were enough to kill every living thing.

"Cleopatra?" Horus called for her as all Gods were gazing at the terrifying sky slowly getting darker and the sun disappears behind the black clouds.

"The calamity... It's approaching" she mumbled before she ran to System 0. She held him and called for Nature to open a gate for them. She did and opened one, when they reached them, Nature took System 0 to fix him while Cleopatra went to have a talk with Earth and plan what's next.

Cleopatra moved deeper down to the middle of the balance, Earth was releasing a huge amount of some type of electricity. Cleopatra watched her carefully and waited until it finished.

'How did this happen?' Earth formed its mana into a body and walked toward Cleopatra who kept her head down. She didn't know what to say because she didn't expect it to happen! She didn't even know something like this would occur simply because of old mana master's butler.

Earth opened a screen and watched Cheche as he trembled from fear, he was terrified because what happened every single time was happening once again but this time, and for some reasons, the amount of mana and the destruction approaching seem to be way bigger and worse.
