Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 163: The Red Moon God.

This treasury contained many gold coins from Alterion that scattered on the floor and piled into a small golden hill. I estimate that there are at least ten million gold coins.

I don't know what the exchange rate of the Alterion gold coin in Helheim is, but if it's on the main continent, one Alterion gold coin is worth two continental coins. That amount of money can at least equal the wealth of a small and medium-sized country.

Although it sounded a lot, but when compared to the gold coins in Moon Palace, it was only a drop of water in the ocean.

This treasure room was completed in a cleanup in less than an hour. In a further search, no other storage space was found in this place.

Finished cleaning everything, I went out of this room because there was no longer any need in this place. I chose one of the corners to put down the chair and sat down while examining the three-dimensional map of this basement.

I don't expect, so far, Arkne's forces have explored over a thousand square kilometers, which is much wider than the original estimate. Unfortunately, this topsoil and basement are limited by something that can isolate the basement from various external disturbances. Therefore, I can only order my people to explore this dungeon bit by bit. If there is no barrier to it, I can use the detection wave to instantly map this entire basement which greatly saves time and resources.

From the reports sent back by the explorers, the entire basement contained many places containing dense concentrations of malignant mana. It was estimated that the place was once the battlefield of the powerful people in this city against the Abyssal Demon who invaded this place.

In addition, many other ruins were found, but in much worse condition than this place and was expected to be destroyed earlier than the city I am currently exploring. There are at least dozens of such locations with an area that is not inferior to this city that can accommodate millions of people without problems.

From that discovery, it can be seen that the entire area of this basement is like an underworld with many residents and cities inside. But for some reason, the entire civilization in this city disappeared, either because they moved or completely destroyed, which is clear at this time the existence of the Underworld has been forgotten by the people of Helheim.

And maybe even the existence of this place is indeed a secret. While the world is still a game of Alterion, many players come to Helheim, but there is no information whatsoever that mentions this place.

I believe that these ruins came from Alterion because the guild's coins and ruins are already very strong evidence to strengthen my guess. In other words, at least Alterion's world was around twelve billion years ago.

That guess once again confused me. I remember clearly that my death was only a few months ago. Then I came to Philia's body, not long after my death. But, the remains of Alterion had been around for at least twelve billion years, and had started to disappear in time. How, how could something like this happen?!. Where was the rest of that time, did my soul fall asleep for that long before I finally rose in this body?..

A series of puzzling questions began to fill my head, leaving my brain a little dizzy with various chaotic thoughts and guesses. No, no matter what, I obviously live in this body right now, so I just need to enjoy my life without thinking about that confusing thing. Maybe one day I will find the answer. But for now, I just need to focus on living my own life.

It's not that I don't want to think about it, but what's the point of it after I find out?!.

I shook my head to forget that complicated question in my head, and refocused on paying attention to the ever-expanding three-dimensional map that was before me. The expansion of this map is quite fast because Arkne also deployed many Aracnoids to explore the terrain and open the map.

In addition to showing the geographical conditions of the underground world, this map also marks different regions with different colors to show what is there. When I click on one of the areas marked in transparent red, a row of information immediately appears on the other sender screen.

It was a vast crater with remnants of destruction still visible. In addition, this region had extremely dense concentrations of violent mana and entered within a region of high radiation. From the data above, it can be concluded that this region was once a battlefield of the powerful Abyssal Demon and the Albedorians.

In addition to the dangerous region markers, the map also marked the existence of the Abyssal Beast along with its strength.

Of all the maps that have been displayed, many remnants of war have left a trail of destruction on the ground. This entire underground world was a battlefield that had once received great destruction and became a barren land, but after a long time, the ecological state in this underground world began to return to its normal state, until it becomes like this moment.

.....

I rested and closed my eyes while waiting for the expansion of the map. An hour later, a large red area was displayed very prominently. Currently, the area of the three-dimensional map had already reached the limit, with an area of about seven thousand five hundred and twenty-eight square kilometers, which was equivalent to a medium island on earth.

The red region occupies at least one-fifth of the entire map area that has been displayed and is at the end of the underground world. As I clicked on that red area, an image of a vast forest with leafless wood with a gray-colored stem was immediately displayed. Each of those woods had branches without leaves that were sharp like monster claws.

Not only was the wood strange-looking, even the grass growing in the area was also a blood-red grass, even the ground beneath it was also a very gloomy gray color.

The violent mana radiation of the abyss also reached the black mark, which meant that the concentration of the ruthless mana there was so dense that it would make all ordinary living beings that entered the area would instantly turn into unconscious Abyss beings.

With the protection from the ruthless Abyss the pioneers continued to advance to explore the entire gray forest area and continued to gather useful data from that gray area.

Then found a data, that the ruthless Abyss mana came from the middle area of the forest and continued to spread the ruthless mana throughout the basement.

Filia:"Is that a portal to the Abyss world?."

Arkne:"Do you want me to personally examine it, Your Majesty?."

I pondered for a moment and nodded at Arkne.

Filia:"Yes, let's go."

Rubidea:"Wait, will you also go Your Majesty?!. That area might be very dangerous, so let us go, you just have to wait here, Your Majesty."

Arkne:"I also agree with Rubidea."

For some reason after my body became like this and my strength had not recovered to the peak like before, they always treated me like a vase of flowers that would be very easily cracked if touched.

Philia:"Although my strength has not returned to how it was, I am not that weak either."

Not listening to them anymore, I immediately stood up from my seat and went towards the location of that gray forest area. Arkne and Rubidea, they also followed me helplessly with full vigilance.

With the speed of the three of us, to travel the distance from one end of the underground world to the other end would only need to take about an hour and a half

we had to experience some unlucky encounters with the Abyssal Beast along the way. However with the strength of the three of us, that Abyssal Beast can be broken easily. However, they also greatly hampered our journey.

The three of us stood at the top of the tree, looking at the gray dead forest in the distance. The part of the forest was extremely quiet with a faint red mist hovering between the trees.

Filia:"Come!."

Arkne:Yes."

Rubidea:"Yes."

This time leading the way was Arkne, while I was in the middle position. As soon as I entered this gray forest, I felt a bitter scent that did not exist, as if it was only imprinted in the depths of consciousness and there was no real scent.

The bloody mist that floated between the trees gave off an extremely oppressive cruel atmosphere. The deeper I went into the forest, the concentration of cruel mana became increasingly dense and that it almost condensed into a thick fog.

The trees in this forest also grew very strangely with twisted trunks and sharp branches like dead trees, but as I approached those trees, the trees were, I still feel the vitality of the tree which means that even though it looks dead, these trees are still alive.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at a place where cruelty was most dense. It was a very large lake. The lake was in a perfect circle like man-made. The water in the lake was a dark red color that was almost close to black.

On the edge of the lake there are nine black menhirs as high as five or six meters. Menhir-menhir was engraved with various images and very complicated shapes as if to describe certain events.

The sword stuck vertically into the depths of the lake without a visible tip. The entire sword was black with thick rust and soft purple roots that were beating like veins wrapped around the sword body to the hilt section connected to the chain.

Although there is a thick rust covering it, but it could be seen that all over the sword were very intricate carvings of red runes and would light up regularly every few moments like the runes on the chains.

Each rune lit up and propagated into the chain, a cruel aura of mana immediately emanated from the nine menhirs that were on the edge of the lake, scattering the violent mana radiation into the surroundings.

I wanted to get close to the menhir and touch it, but before the tip of my finger touched the menhir, I was immediately stopped by Arkne.

Arkne:"Your Majesty, maybe it's too dangerous. What if we tell some people to research about this site first?."

Sally:"I know."

Even though Arkne said that, I still touched the menhir. When the tip of my finger touched the menhir, I could feel the cruel mana that the sword was channeling into the menhir to release into the air. It seemed like the sword was absorbing the ruthless mana from the bottom of the lake and channeling it through the chain into the menhir to be released freely.

I can feel that but I don't know what the purpose of this site builder is to do such a disservice. After a while, I removed my hand from the surface of the menhir and contacted some people to start researching this place.

I also went on to surround this place. In one corner of the forest, I found a cave on a rock cliff about five meters high with the mouth of the cave directly facing this lake.

As I approached the cave, suddenly a very heavy pressure fell on my body. Even my soul that was at Tier five was extremely depressed in this place. The mana in my entire body seemed to stop and get clogged, it was almost impossible to move a bit of strength.

Due to Arkne and Rubidea's much better physique than my body's, their condition was not as severe as mine, but they also received the same pressure of heaviness and almost knelt on the ground due to the extremely heavy pressure.

Philia:"This pressure..."

Arkne:"Is it possible?!."

I could see an extremely shocked expression on Arkne and Rubidea's faces. The three of us looked at each other with bitter faces and quivering pupils. Although Arkne's eyes were covered with cloth, but I could guess that his eyes were also filled with shock and astonishment. Just wanting to speak, but my throat seemed to be stuck with something, making it difficult for me to express words.

Filia:"But this pressure is too low."

I've felt pressure like this. This was the pressure that Tier six players had to lower tier. Could it?!. Is there perhaps a Tier God in this place?!.

No, this pressure was indeed similar to the pressure from Tier six, but this was too low. If it was a bona fide Tier six, then my body might be a bus smashed directly into the ground, even Arkne and Rubidea who were Tier five would not be able to stand up.

Spiritual pressure can come from higher levels of life, for example, Tier one will give immense pressure to zero, and so on. However, the pressure from Tier six was very different from other Tier. If the other Tier pressured them to be fear and threat, but the press from Tier six was respect, awe, and the desire to kneel. The pressure from Tier six was a pure pressure and not a forced pressure.

Although it sounded simple, but the difference between the two pressure was enormous. The first one was a pressure that affected the mental, while the pressure from Tier six was a tapa that directly affected the psyche of the other players.

Arkne's body let out a luminous purple rune beside his left face. Six spider arms that were as sharp as spears pierced through the back, showing the demon form of Arkne.

By activating his blood directly, Arkne was able to reduce this enormous pressure because he was one of the races with a high level of life.

Not only Arkne, Rubidea also stimulated his blood to reduce the pressure he received. His pupils lit up like pomegranates with a bright orange color and vertical pupils like reptiles. There were a pair of crystal horns that appeared on both sides of his head, and fine red scales on parts of his cheekbones.

I also stimulated the Phoenix blood that was in my body. Added with the help of Arkne and Rubidea, the pressure I received became greatly reduced which allowed me to move as I was.

The three of us were silent for a moment before Arkne spoke up.

Arkne:"I'll go in first."

Arkne immediately took a step and entered the cave, Rubidea was second, while I was at the very back. The inside of this cave was like a separate world, there was no cruel mana within the cave, as if there was a barrier preventing that ruthless mana from entering.

The walls and floor of this cave are not flat, just like the cave in general. There was the sound of water hatching from the top of the cave to the cave floor, forming stalactites and stalagmites that were sharp like the fists of prehistoric creatures.

We walked very carefully and went into the deeper parts of the cave. At a depth of several hundred meters, I felt an extremely dense aether aura. This place is perfect for training.

In addition, at the forefront of the cave, there are terraced water ponds and underground lakes with blue water lit up as filled by photobacterium. The water was very clear and even I could see the bottom of it inside this dark cave. In addition to the burning water, there are many strange flower plants and mosses that can also light up in the dark, so the scenery in this cave becomes very beautiful.

When I looked further, I was surprised. In the middle of one of the largest pools of water, there is a round altar made of stone. On the altar was a statue of a woman in simple clothes. The statue had a graceful posture and a noble aura.

I approached and saw this statue. This is where the pressure comes from. Just a statue, but it has a very strong pressure. I believe that this statue is a statue of a very strong person and has been blessed with the aura of that person.

I saw that in one hand the statue was holding a thick book with a red cover.

Suddenly, the book shook and floated slowly towards me.

Arkne & Rubidea:"Your Majesty."

The two of them immediately put on a defensive posture with weapons on their ground, ready to put up a fight.

Sally:"It's okay!."

Although I don't know what will happen, but the aura in the book doesn't have the slightest bit of dangerous aura to me. In fact, the aura from the book gave off a peaceful and very close feeling, just like the feeling the statue gave me.

The red book slowly floated towards me and landed on my hand. On the front of the cover is a picture of a red circle and intricate floral carvings.

There were a few sentences on the cover that were written in letters I didn't know. Although it may be that this book and its author are from this time the world is still Alterion, but in Alterion itself has a lot of different writings and languages.

However, with the skill of the translator, I can interpret the writing printed on the cover of this book.

On the cover it is written...

The Red Moon God...

(The end of this chapter.)

The next update will be quick... Might as well.
