The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 56, the Monster Ruler of the Universe
Where me and Keiko are. I finally woke up from my fainting. My vision faded, began to improve. I started to see and all I saw was me lying down and on my face was Keiko's face.
"Yet you woke up" Keiko said.
I tried to wake myself up but was blocked by Keiko.
"You better not force yourself first. You are the key to this problem. If anything happens to you it will be a hassle later." Keiko.
I went back to sleep. Under my head this is something warm and soft. And that's when I realized I was sleeping on Keiko's thigh.
"Can you not move much? Amused to know.." said Keiko with an irritated face,
"sorry..".
I got up and sat down near Keiko. The heart was late afternoon. I looked towards Keiko with guilt. Keiko noticed it.
"That's it. We woke up almost at the same time. My feet are fine." Keiko said as she swept away the dust on her thigh.
"Continue, how?" ask Keiko, please,
"..." —No response from me. I was thinking where we were going next.
After that, I looked around. I feel a little weird. I feel something around here.
I stood up and walked where my instincts were.
"Nakano's? Where are you going?" Ask Keiko. Then he stood up quickly and ran near me. He walked beside me.
My instincts were to head to a cave that was pretty close to where we were just now. We looked inside the cave, dark and empty. Evening has arrived. The sun is no longer visible.
The cave was emitting light from within. We looked at an object that was emitting light. It was shaped like a triangle and at its very top it was emitting light. The light is like a street light. At the same time, the cave also released a strange energy that I had never encountered before.
We went to Goa without hesitation. We walk with the light that leads us inside. That strange energy gets even more concentrated and powerful when we go deep inside again.
At the end of the vast cave hall, we saw a building with a rhombus in the middle.
We walked closer to the building. Then, something like a lamp came out next to the road that was provided to us. It gave off light and it seemed like it was indeed a lamp.
We walked again, approached and when it was close enough, something shaped like a black-colored beam appeared from the ground. On top of it was something that opened and was empty there was nothing.
"It looks like this thing needs something that has to be put into this little box as its energy to activate it." Obviously Keiko,
"Yes. We have to find him." I said,
"Yes.".
Suddenly, my head became sick again. I received a message from that mysterious voice again.
"Energy... Cube.." said the voice.
"NAKANO!" Shouted Keiko.
Since the voice was only 2 words, I was able to survive. I gasp. Keiko worries about me.
"I'm fine." I said confidently.
I stood up normally. The pain is gone. I've received a lot of messages and it's made me start getting used to the pain.
"Nakano?",
"I'm fine. Let's go do our job here!" I said with great enthusiasm.
Keiko smiled with excitement as well.
"Yes. And what did that voice tell you?" ask Keiko, please,
"Energy Cube's. I think that's the answer so this building." I replied,
"so yeah. Continue, how to get it?",
"I don't know. But what I do know is that the energy that we felt at the entrance did not lead to this building, but something else.".
I looked to the right side of the building and pointed to the stone slab that was inside this cave.
Strange energy came out of that green box. Keiko brought it to me and gave it to me. I took it from Keiko and put it in that open black box. The black box grabbed the green box I carried like a magnet. After which, the black box closed and returned into the ground.
Something like the circuit flow below us changed the color that was originally black, now it's green. The circuits led into the building like rhombuses with a hole in the middle forming a similar shape.
The pit took out something like the same portal as the portal leading to the Ender End. We're quiet there.
"Wanna get in?" ask Keiko, please,
"Yes. Let's go in.".
The two of us walked together and walked into the green portal. The portal took us to a strange place. Ruins with many similar shapes as before and many new forms. There, we provided a path leading to the outdoors. There's no one, there's just the two of us.
We walked away and out of the room. We saw a lot of weird weapons and eggs I'd never seen before. In the middle of that spacious room, I saw a pile of stones similar to the stone just now. In the room, there are 5 different roads, North, Southeast, Northwest, Southwest and Northeast.
We looked at each other and nodded our heads which meant that we were going North. We walk carefully and carefully.
We entered the hallway in the North direction. We saw a large room. In the middle was a very deep pool of water.
Suddenly, Keiko used water breathing magic for me and him. I prepared myself and went into the water. Below us is a large block that has the same carving as above.
Suddenly there was a hand with a membrane between his fingers, holding the beam below us. Something is rising from below. And a monster with scaly skin, four eyes with left and right eyes and 2 additions on it, ears that look like fish fins, and a face that looks almost like a human.
I pointed my sword quickly feeling that he was a threat. Keiko quickly prepared various attack magic. The monster got up and looked at us.
"Hello, man" said the monster,
"You.. can talk?" ask Keiko, please,
"Yes. I'm different.",
"Who are you?" ask Keiko, please,
"I am the ruler of this Universe.",
"Ruler of the universe? Why are you here?",
"long story. Sorry for giving such a rude message, young man.",
"But, what is the ruler of the universe doing here?" my many.
There was no response from the monster. The monster went back down.
"Follow me." said the monster.
We lowered our weapons and went down. When we got to the bottom, we saw that there were 5 similar eggs. And we can also see the entire body of the monster. The monster had no legs but had extremely long and large tentacles, there were 6 in number
"Eggs?" said Keiko,
"These eggs are my eggs that are my children. The egg is alive.",
"Keep what do you want?" ask Keiko, please,
"I have a goal of letting my children out of here, but I can't do it alone. So I tried to speak to them, but no one answered. Hanay you're the one who answered so far, young man.",
"They?",
"Alien gas from the Dandeguard Universe. Once upon a time, the race came here. I welcome them all. We got along in peace together for many years, but that was just my opinion. They did a lot of research on living things that exist in the Universe and eventually many creatures are endangered even to the point that there are extinct. They create new living things, making the ecosystem of this universe fall apart. The royal race that became the most important race in the universe is also endangered.",
"Threatened extinct... Don't say-",
"Yes. I am the only remaining race worthy of being the ruler of this universe. I was nearing my age and almost dead. They, an alien race, do their research and make this universe fall apart. They researched my race which was also a royal race called Sea Emperor. I tried to fight them with my own strength but could not. Moreover, this universe is in danger because there is a virus that runs rampant here. All living things that live here are almost all infected. I'm the only one who doesn't and it's all because the antidote is inside me. The alien race did a lot of experiments on me but they all left because they all died with the virus.",
"Don't we get the virus?!", too?!",
"Yes. Anyone who enters this universe, in 0.1 second, will be infected.",
"so yeah. Then, how do we get the antidote?" my tofu, my,
"I ask you guys for help. Please help my children hatch and freely pass through the portal that is behind you. That way, I'll give you the antidote and something special for you lads.",
"Specialty for me?".
