Chapter 1770: Portals
"This is the Asura Palace..." Vista and the other shadow guards were quite surprised by the ziggurat.
No one had ever reached the Asura Palace before. As a result, there wasn’t much information about it.
Flora said, "There might still be some aliens inside. We haven’t been able to sweep it, so I hope that all of you remain vigilant."
"Yes, Your Highness. We will definitely take care of ourselves." Vista bowed to Flora.
"I need to ask you to enter inside and sweep the place. After that, we will open an area for research. Nathan has also collected a few records, so we will add that."
"Do we have a map? Or would you like us to create a map of this place?" Vista asked.
"If you can create a map, that’s good. However, there is storage on the upper floor. There should be a mark leading you to that storage, so there might be something there. If not, then I guess you need to do it in the old-fashioned way."
"Understood." Vista raised his hand, signaling for the shadow guards to enter.
The shadow guards didn’t hesitate to walk into this place. They were loyal, but they also felt honored.
They were among the few people in the world who had the honor of entering this place. When even the people in the past failed to visit the Asura Palace, they could do it.
Ever since they followed Flora, they had done things beyond their imagination. It was dangerous, much more dangerous than any missions they had done so far.
However, the reward was extremely rewarding.
That was why they were a bit excited to see what kind of place the ziggurat was.
On the other side of the city, Luna looked at Crotto. "What do you think about this place? Can you figure out the portal?"
Crotto fell silent for a moment. "The portals are not that easy to find.
"First of all, Yog-Sothoth is hiding the portals with his power. That’s the principle of making a portal. Even your people make your portal hidden.
"That’s why it’s going to be hard to track it. The only option is for me to go around personally. As long as it’s within a hundred meters, I can feel it."
Luna frowned. "That’s a rather short distance."
"It’s the only way. However, there are ways to look for the portals. We will find the area with the higher density of aliens.
"We will use that spot as a clue and explore the area. Most likely, Yog-Sothoth won’t put the portals in the open. We might have to look for caves or any openings.
"However, there is a plus side. The size of the portals shouldn’t be too small. In fact, there are very big portals that are used for larger aliens. They are easier to find."
"If that’s the case, won’t it be easier to hide that portal within a mountain range? It won’t be in plain sight." Luna crossed her arms, contemplating.
"It is possible, but the portal can be horizontal as well."
"I see." Luna asked, "So, what should we do?"
"Since you intend to split up into several groups, I will follow one of you, but the other groups should also mark any areas with high-density aliens."
"And if we find the portals?" Luna narrowed her eyes.
"If that’s the case, I will have to check the portal itself. There might be trap portals. What I mean by traps are planets so horrible that you will have a hard time finding the next portal.
"There are planets with poisonous gas everywhere. There are planets with different time flows. There are even planets that are currently undergoing life-extinction events.
"That’s why I have to be there to check the portal."
Luna raised one finger. "Are you going to help with the next portal as well, assuming we’ve gone into one portal?"
"No. If it’s about the time difference, I’m sure that your husband can handle the problem. It’s normally physics, but the time element can also manipulate it to a certain extent. This way, you won’t have to spend too much time on that planet, which will cause your enemy to have more time to destroy this planet.
"Regarding the next portal, Yog-Sothoth arranged the portals like roots that are connected to one another. I will tell you about the principle on how to find the correct portal, but you will have to do it yourself in the future."
Luna nodded in understanding. "I guess you will stay here and wait for the next chosen one after this."
"As much as I like you, I also have a role to play. I can’t abandon that role."
"I understand that." Luna took a deep breath. "In that case, won’t it be easier if Nathan and Evelyn lead two groups and mark the area with their teleportation circles? Then, you will go with me."
"Well, that’s one of the possibilities, but your husband seems to be quite busy right now..."
"..." Luna couldn’t deny it. "Well, we still have time. So, I guess we can relax for a moment and prepare for the next trip. The main mission this time is not to find the portals but to get as many alpha class aliens as possible."
"I don’t know about your goal, and it’s better if I don’t know about it."
Luna paused for a moment. "Now that I think about it, how many portals did Yog-Sothoth plant in this world?"
"How many? I don’t know either. However, the energy used to maintain that portal is not necessarily from Yog-Sothoth himself. Rather, it might come from another planet."
"What do you mean?"
"Other planets, even this one, generate their own energy by absorbing the energy from outer space. However, the living beings on each planet don’t necessarily have the ability to cultivate that energy. The people on this planet can’t absorb that energy directly. Instead, they have to use the cores to absorb the energy."
"Oh? I think that kind of topic should be discussed with Nathan and the others."
"Up to you."
