XIII Entering the Vortex

Although Elijah did not understand why Lady Sif was so carefree and lively when she spoke to him as if she could not see the huge vortex that opened in the middle of the ocean and from where the Huge Arm and thousands of primordial beasts emerged. He felt immense pressure when he discovered her true identity and had and had difficulty finding the right words to speak.

"I do not know if Lady Sif understand the situation we are now, but I came here to do my mission first and while I can not imagine why you are talking to me so familiarly, after that I would be happy to have a talk with you."

These words made her realize the mistake she made even if she knew him, he never met her before or heard about the details of the origins of his family.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you do not know about the details of your family's history yet, but we can talk about this later,What I'm curious about is this vortex. This planet never had much elemental energy and only a few rare places that emitted high-density elemental energy like some ancient temples and cities but this vortex is on a entire new level, sending an extremely high amount of an even greater degree than the Primeval Energy which was supposed. Do you know what is causing it?"

Elijah paused for a moment, as if he was waiting for an answer and then said: "The tomb that guards a piece of the last Prime King."

"Ah" Lady Sif, who so far was happy to see him, made a face of horror as she sighed softly: "And I thought things could not be any worse after the loss of Asgard, the goddess of healing and all of Valkyrie's army."

"What did you say?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Of course she would not tell Elijah about Chloe's uncertain fate after being left at the hands of an unknown entity.

Pointing his hammer to the deck of the ship, green flames scattered across the ship healing the wounds of soldiers and scientists. After finishing. he jumped into the water and using Void Steps he walked on the water while he approached the Vortex ignoring the beasts that fled while feeling afraid of Elijah.

As he approached, Elijah felt the gray vortex that he had even forgotten that existed in the great hall. It seemed to react to the black vortex and began to absorb the dense Primeval Energy without stop.

This time, Lady Sif was really surprised as all this time, she only observed him but she didn't know about the details of his cultivation only now she realized who was helping him and smiled.

Elijah felt as if everything had become different. When this energy was absorbed by him, the energy platform, the spirit tower and the blood pill that were illusory at first became more and more realistic and vivid, even the Forest realm that surrounded it, was seeming more like a real forest.

Every step he made, more energy would come to him. The seawater around Elijah was giving out radiant blue light as it become even more difficult to approach the vortex. The Rune on the blood pill lit up and activated automatically, but this time he not grew older and mature like the other times, no this time his body grew... one, two, three... six, seven, eight... twelve meters tall.

The people on the ship was looking at this with their mouths so much opened that it nearly touched the floor. A few people managed to regain they senses and raised their phones to record this scene so they could post it later.

Seems like his body grew so much to he could to allow him store more energy. After realizing this, Elijah stepped towards to the vortex, one step at a time. After a few seconds, his body turned blurry before his figure disappeared into the vortex.

Looking above, the scientist realized that the Palace that was hanging above the ship was nowhere to be seen.

Lady Sif too had disappeared but of course no one had even seen her from the beginning. They thought that Elijah was the one who did everything and even after he entered the Vortex, there was one thing they knew for sure the entire of humanity would change after this. Some of the weaker Prime beasts had escaped, Sif noticed it but she let them be. Now with this new energy spreading through the Earth, it was possible that new creatures like the prime beast could be born and will be born resulting in a terrible calamity for every human, but this is a story for another time.

Elijah looked at his surroundings and saw himself inside a cave with the walls made of red stone and there was a passage a few meters away from him.

Thinking he would need help this time, Elijah called Cassie and the four fairies away. 'I need to find out who's trying to bring him back, so this time I'm going to call for all the help I can.'

Then, after looking at Cassie and the four fairies, he said, "There's someone I'd like to introduce to you five."

Chanting an incantation, a small spatial gate opened and a black-haired maiden walked out of it. Her hair was like a black shadow that made an amazing contrast with her face that so pale that was impressive. The black strands of hair flow down her back, stopping around her hips. her grey eyes reminded Cassie of ashes and smoke blowing in the wind coming from a fire that burned everything to the ground but they could also be like the profound silver that reached the deep of one's soul.

She wears a white silk dress that reached to her knees. Looking at her without knowing why, this woman gave Cassie an intense familiarity as her body shook.

The woman had a similar reaction when she looked at Cassie with stunned eyes.

This woman was Shadow's avatar that Elijah summoned, and from her stunned look, she seemed to have noticed something from Cassie and she murmured in an incredulous voice.

"How is this possible? I have not been able to feel it before just by watching, but I'm sure she has my Clan's blood flowing in her veins."
