Chapter 23

Meanwhile, the changes that happened, thought to be permanent, were false. As news all over the world covered this amazing event of the mythical beings suddenly fading in and out of Earth's reality, their physical form in this realm was ephemeral and transient. This phenomenon left scientists baffled, prompting them to delve deeper into understanding the nature of these mythical beings and their connection to our world. As their appearances became more frequent, people started questioning the boundaries between reality and mythology, sparking a global debate on the existence of parallel dimensions.

As if a powerful being were playing a practical joke on all humanity, some gave theories that the reason they appeared was that they were inside the land formation that was transported to this plain of existence, while others believed that these mythical beings had always coexisted with us but were only now revealing themselves. These theories further fueled more unnecessary questions as humanity wanted to gain knowledge from those who were known to have superior knowledge,

Remaining linguists all over the world took the risk and tried to translate elven writing; these beings had been dying to get mankind to understand, to bridge the gap between the two worlds. However, despite their efforts, the translation proved to be an arduous task as the elven language was vastly different from any known human language. Nonetheless, linguists persevered, driven by their curiosity and the hope of understanding the secrets held within their writing has finally been translated, and it has been consistent. Across the world, the elven race only gave one message,

The Elven text was translated, and said the following words:

"Mistake!"

Meanwhile, the four elven trackers following Grey panic as they encounter an unnatural phenomenon as their physical form begins to fluctuate in and out of existence. This scares them, and they decide to discontinue their task to follow the lone human being, that is inside the sacred mountain that is their home, seeking answers and protection. As they ventured deeper into the mountain, they discovered ancient chambers filled with intricate carvings depicting the history of their race. The trackers realized that their encounter with the unnatural phenomenon was no mistake,

but rather a sign that they were not supposed to be in this world at all, and the two worlds that got entangled were now being corrected by the laws of the multiverse. They understood that their presence in this world was disrupting the natural order of things, and they had to find a way to restore balance before irreparable damage occurred. Determined to fulfil their mission, the trackers resolved to seek guidance from the ancient carvings and unravel the secrets hidden within, hoping to find a solution that would protect both worlds.

They went to visit their commander because they wanted to understand what was happening to all of them; Many of the objects associated with them were also shifting in and out of this reality; they were forcefully turning to spirits, trying to discover a solution to halt the transition. They stared carefully at their leader, realizing the gravity of the situation.

Because one of hell's great ten demon kings was summoned to this realm by foolish mortals, the protectors of the multiverse ordered the two factions to plead their case against the gatekeeper,

By giving balance, this world's impending destruction by forcing humans to gain power derives from their world, but upon learning this, the tenth Demon King felt the need to stop this from happening by tampering with their enemy's decision, and questioning the law of choice,

as the demon king Baal Berith questioned this move by the protectors. As a result of this revelation, the gatekeepers began to disagree. The protectors argued that tampering with the enemy's decision would disrupt the natural order and lead to unforeseen consequences. They believed in upholding the law of choice as it maintained balance in the multiverse. On the other hand, Baal contended that allowing humans to gain power from their world would only accelerate their destruction and jeopardize the stability of all realms. The disagreement between the gatekeepers grew intense, with each faction presenting compelling arguments for their stance.

The demon lords pointed out that they never influenced or used any means to sway mankind to summon and open the gate leading to the realm where he ruled, highlighting their commitment to maintaining the natural order of the multiverse.

They argued that it was humans themselves who, driven by their insatiable curiosity and thirst for power, stumbled upon the forbidden knowledge that allowed them to access Baal's realm. The demon lords believed that humans should face the consequences of their actions and learn from their mistakes, rather than being shielded from the potential destruction they could bring upon themselves.

This revelation generated a discussion among the gatekeepers, who began to doubt the order's genuine aims and the implications of their acts. They questioned if forcing humans to obtain power was indeed essential, or if there was another way to prevent their world from being destroyed. As they dug more into this philosophical quandary, they recognized that perhaps a balance might be found by giving people a choice rather than imposing their will on them.

So based on what was happening to their race, fading away was the Gatekeepers' answer to the colliding two powerful factions, they would be returned to their original realm and leave the fate of humanity in their own hands. They believed that by allowing humans to make their own decisions, they could potentially learn from their mistakes and find a way to coexist harmoniously, ensuring the survival of both species.

The wills have decided to follow the gatekeeper's command, but because a large amount of power is needed to undo the scenario they created, they need time to regain their power, but the lords of hell could not wait any longer. Keeping the magical beings on Earth longer will surely tip the balance that fate has carefully maintained.

As tensions rise and the clock ticks, it becomes clear that a delicate solution must be found before irreversible consequences occur. The fate of both species hangs in the balance, dependent on the choices made by those who hold the power to shape their intertwined destinies.

Their current state of physical fluctuation was Will's attempt to send all of them back, including all of the material, knowledge, and influence they have crafted and influenced throughout their lifetime. The Will planned to reset the timeline, erasing all traces of their existence and ensuring a fresh start for both species. However, the potential loss of their accumulated wisdom and progress weighs heavily on the decision-makers, as they grapple with the moral implications of such a drastic action.

So the gatekeeper gave those who were responsible for the merger of a realm of magic to the world called Earth seven days, like what their creator and master did many Billion years ago, and just sent all the living and non-living organisms with magical energy that was not originally from Earth to their realm.

while allowing humans and other earthbound creatures to remain. This compromise aimed to preserve the knowledge and advancements achieved by both species, while still granting the Wills the opportunity to correct their actions,

When Grey reached the last level of his Exo Suite, and felt the mythical beings that were following him had not been around for the last 82 hours, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, Something was amiss, and Grey knew that he couldn't afford to let his guard down. With each passing moment, the urgency to uncover the truth grew stronger, propelling him forward on his quest to uncover the mysteries that lay ahead.

by this time he was able to hunt and eat edible plants and unknown fruits from this mysterious terrain, and with the help of AI he was able to see those with a small residue of energy in all living things in this place, and Grey slowly understood that certain objects and lifeforms both plant, animals, and living being.

He relied on his keen senses to identify safe and nourishing sources of sustenance, ensuring his survival in this unfamiliar environment until he can get out

Additionally, his knowledge of different plant species and their properties helped him identify which ones were suitable for consumption and which ones to avoid.

As he finally was able to reach the foot of the third mountain, getting near was not a walk in the park, but rather a treacherous and exhausting journey. The steep incline and rugged terrain tested his physical endurance and mental resilience, pushing him to his limits. fighting huge and deadly creatures that roamed the mountains and made their territory, added to the challenges he faced, Despite the dangers, he remained determined and resourceful, using his survival skills to navigate through the treacherous landscape and defend himself when necessary.

he was able to make a secured hammock, and he usually place it on top of a tree that look like a bald cypress tree that was twice the size he normally see back at his place, he noticed that certain animals and mythical creatures hate the smell of its leaves, but he found out it was harmless to a human being, so this was his normal set up even if it was still bright, Grey sleeps as soon he sees in his analogue watch its time to sleep because 60 minutes in this place is 12 hours outside,

he was able to get materials from that beast humanoid looking creatures that attack viciously him without warning, the hammock is always high enough to evade possible attackers and he always cover it with tree branches, the sun was still high and the wind has a light gentle breeze, he heard a rustling sound below were he was stationed, he took out his one of his two SilencerCo Maxim 9 with equip with armor piercing ammunition, eight extended magazines on his concealed body holster under his Dark Jungle green tactical military all-terrain bullet and knife proof titanium steel and ceramic armor hooded jacket, and a Laser Sight that he requested to be fabricated,

mentioning the specification Grey wanted from the Blair engineers before, was a challenge and a real head-scratching project, but he insisted this is not about having a product to be sold for profit but an item to protect their family. The underground forge was busy for an entire year just to have what Grey and his uncle designed.

The two were so confident that they could do it and just waited patiently for the final result. The dedication and hard work paid off when the finished product exceeded their expectations. It was a testament to their unwavering commitment to creating something truly exceptional for the safety of their loved ones.

Without this jacket, Grey should have already died days ago due to the harsh weather conditions and lack of protection. The jacket not only provided warmth and insulation but also served as a shield against any potential dangers they may encounter in their journey, The jacket was not just a piece of clothing; it was a symbol of hope and resilience.

This jacket had saved Grey's and his teammates lives countless times, making him grateful for the tireless efforts put into its creation. But this particular tactical clothing set was made with advanced titanium fiber reinforced composites, microtechnology, protective features, and numerous hidden tactical compartments lined with arsenals and gear that will make the movie spy commander James Bond look like a beggar,

while Grey scan the four pointy-eared humanoid beings they were talking among each other but he could not understand them, AI suddenly activated and advised Grey to use the points he earn recently and invest in a multi-dimensional language translator and communicator,

Grey agrees to the AI suggestion, he was slowly able to understand them and gather sufficient information on what they were talking about, and he understood they meant no harm because, like him, they also had a god that was inclined and nearly similar to the god they have here on earth, which made him feel a sense of connection and familiarity. This realization eased any initial concerns he may have had. With this, he wanted to create an environment that would allow him to engage in meaningful conversations and establish a bond with people from the other world.

But suddenly they were surrounded by six numerous Viles, the four were taken by surprise, these vile were tracking those who killed their kin, and seeing them at the location where the scent ended, they assumed they were the culprits, Ai instantly scanned the enemy and gave Grey suggestions to handle the situation in the most suitable and fast way, saving time and the four elven beings

"Huh, elves, like holiday winter elves?"

"Yes, but no, they are called the elementals."

"These beings were once spirits that were roughly shaped by the nature of their souls and started to develop bodies and powers that represented them and who they were.

"Each elemental, or elves, embodies a different element - earth, air, fire, and water. They possess incredible abilities related to their respective elements and are deeply connected to the natural world. Their presence here suggests that something significant is at stake." AI explained, her voice filled with a mix of admiration and caution.

"We must approach trainees with respect and caution, for their powers can be both awe-inspiring and potentially dangerous if provoked."

"Sadly, these four have the affinity of these elements, but they are non-combatants, and have no experience in fighting at all.".

"I would suggest you purge them, sir!"

"Might as well AI!"

"Good to hear sir, I shall activate your Blessing and should I distribute point equally Sir?"

"Can I use the aura blade you were mentioning a few days ago?"

" sadly not yet, but you can manifest and use a knife infuse with your aura sir,"

" fight in close quarters, might bring issues later on, do have a suggestion about this?"

"of course Sir, may I suggest blessing the Gun you are using a Blessing to gain the ability to set seraphic rules,"

"Seraphic Rules? what's that?"

"Ah, it's like a command program that your blessing should follow and do, Sir."

"Anyway, let's talk about it later, they are getting badly beaten up by those low-life bunch of thugs!"
