Discussions

The winged girl spoke then stopped and looked at Terra's team.

- It is true that our source of information does not seem reliable and is very uncertain, but time shows things that are worth investigating anyway, so it is not necessarily a loss. Even without the existence of the wire, we should investigate this place as much as we can. A little time with the higher beings has taught us that anything related to the gods or the name of a god must be taken care of.

More discussions and questions were heard.

- Gods? God? What, does the place have anything to do with the gods?

- How do you know ?

- What did you find out?

The girl continues.

- So coming back. Following the separation of the teams. Your camp decided to go hunting early in the morning, as for us, we went to the library to investigate more. Normally we would have wanted to talk to the girl named Anka but she was nowhere to be found and her teammates didn't know where she was.

She sighed a little then continued:

- So I went to the library and looked for everything we could , and discovered a lot of things. Like for example: this place was one of the houses of the Death Goddess, but she left the job of recording history to one of her subordinates. That subordinate would later become the God of History and never appeared on the deity stage. He always remained here fulfilling the requirement of the Goddess.

- And not only that!

The one who had spoken was Issa, another bird woman.

- I also found many records about students who studied here.

When she talked about it she clenched her teeth in hatred as if...

Martella spoke again.

- As you know, studying at the temples is something necessary before the battle organized by the system casino. The temple was described in the contract as the main stop and the way we can evolve quickly but also which will determine the power we will have in the real competition.

Everyone was listening very attentively.

- So we forced ourselves to get to the temple in time to be able to evolve. But according to the records in the books, a large number of people will die in the temples they are taken to. The reasons for the death are very bizarre and inexplicable or maybe the real events were not mentioned in the book. It's a pity that we have no way to confirm this, but their death is true. And trying to study more thoroughly, we discovered that the building has a lot of strange charms and spells in different places.

She stopped and gestured towards Nulla.

She was very eager to talk...

- I discovered that some places in the temple seem small from the outside and big inside. Such as the library and several storage rooms. This distortion is not small. Effectively, the size of the library is exaggerated. After I measured the size, it far exceeded the entire perimeter of the temple, which is crazy. Other rooms were the same.

The girl spoke quickly and forcefully.

She seemed very absorbed in the research she had done.

- Then I searched random places with different objects. Since I have had some homemade ones that can detect energies, I have discovered that time has areas that are actually controlled by energy. This differs from magic to life!

The faces of many showed uncertainty. It is known that energies are very rare, especially those who come from developing planets, they knew very well the importance and rarity of energies.

- It's strange though that I haven't discovered the death energy or the shadow at all.

The girl showed a little disappointment but recovered quickly...

- The strange thing is coming now! Some books write in great detail how this planet has a gateway to the Afterlife, but the energy of death does not seem to rule here, which is very contradictory. So I started looking around the temple and came across two things that shocked me.

The one meter tall woman raised two fingers in the air.

- The first is that we have not found the place where other beings could live outside of us, and the other is that the energy of death is weakly felt from the ground, that is, under us only in one place.

The group became restless for some reason.

- So you didn't find the place where that teacher is?

- Where have we not thought of them so far?

- Does the energy come from under our feet? Does it mean that the portal to the Afterlife is under the temple?

The team on Tera was watching was right on the edge of the garden and watching the two sides exchanging information.

Matei, Alesio and Juliana did not seem too affected, but William and Ella had very cold faces. They exchanged glances and then the protagonist Ella opened her mouth to speak for the first time.

- Where do you want to get with this long speech?

She addressed Matela, who seemed to be the leader of the camp. This woman only looked up at Ella but immediately withdrew her disinterest.

- I want to specify that this temple is probably only the tip of the iceberg. Probably the real temple and infrastructure is below it. And there is a god, plus our teacher, a gate to the other world, and the secret behind the string seen by the girl named Anka.

The world became noisy again. Ella's eyes were dark but she was smiling curiously.

- Again, what do you mean by that? Regardless of curiosity, wouldn't it be dangerous to plunge into the mysteries of the temple? Aren't you afraid of the consequences?

Everyone was silent after that. The eyes of those in the garden turned from Ella to Matela.

- Dangerous? The writing on the wall said there are no rules here.

- But that doesn't mean I'm not there.

- Under the temple is the real deal, where we are is probably something used to distract unimportant people, so if we want to learn something of quality we have to do it there.

- But I repeat, the situation is very confusing, is it worth the risk?

- Why shouldn't it be worth it? We can die even up there, why not investigate the truth and become stronger to defend our own wills?

- What should we ask the teacher?

- Do it then. Can you find him ?

- He will appear naturally to teach us.

- Seriously ? It's already noon, why is he nowhere to be seen?

An exchange of arguments took place at speed.

Just then they heard footsteps from the gate and they all turned their heads in unison to see who it was.

'Is it the teacher?'

'Is it a stone servant?'

'Is the girl Anka?'

' Is a stranger?'

Assumptions flashed through everyone's mind in unison.

When Anka passed the gate, many pairs of eyes were looking at her, which made her stop embarrassed.

Her ability 'I will judge anyone I see' was unfortunately activated for everyone in front of her. A total of 38 people who were in the courtyard had the souls now watched by Anka.

Her suddenly activated ability caught her off guard. She really thought the world was spinning for a moment.

To outsiders it only seemed that her face suddenly turned pale and she frowned in pain as she held her head. Then their eyes fell on the tiger cub, and after a second they ignored it.

William and Ella exchanged glances again. Then the young man went to Anka.

- Anka, where have you been? You disappeared like that after the meal, no matter where I looked for you, you couldn't be found.

However, the girl seemed not to hear what he had asked, her eyes were still closed and she was holding her head with one hand.

You couldn't blame her. At the moment she was hearing so many screams that it would have been a miracle to make out William's voice among them.

'This pain is terrible...'

'Make it stop...'

' Please stop ...'

'Stop...'

'Shut up...'

'Quiet...!'

William seeing that Anka was ignoring him tried again, but to no avail, so he reached out to touch her shoulder. The moment his hand made contact, Anka's body shuddered and she quickly backed away.

Wiliam started screaming uncontrollably. His hand was now surrounded by black smoke that was slowly eating away at his hand...

Anak leaned back holding her head. She wanted to get out of here but she couldn't control her brain for this little action.

The previous reaction was similar to the reaction of the body in a state of stress. She was made unconscious, but now she couldn't think of taking any steps out of misery.

What's worse, is that when William touched a lot of memories were absorbed.

Some of William , others random and broken like those already existing in her mind.

She honestly thought she was going to have a mental breakdown. Her body was leaning against the wall of the temple. This was normally the high wall that surrounded the temple.

Her hand dropped the tiger cub but it did not go away. He sat at her leg clinging intimately.

Blood suddenly gushed from Anka's nose, eyes and ears.

Her breathing was getting faster and her eyes were glowing red. Then a black mist formed around her.

All this in just 2 minutes since she entered the gate.
