HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 68
In Scarlet Rose colony.The humanoid ants were whipping at the regular ants that were the size of house cats. “Hurry up! Harvest the leaves!”The typical ground ants were digging into the soil and collected the roots of the Blood Leaf Trees.The trees that were formed out of humans through witchcraft were called Blood Leaf Trees by the monsters.The leaves of these trees were very sweet and edible, and they low-level ants served and supplied these leaves and roots to the higher-level ants, the commanders, the captains, and then sentinels that were above them.The Scarlet Rose colony was ruled by eleven commanders who would answer to the sentinel named Rose Witch. She was the daughter of Endeva, as with most of the sentinels that worked under Endeva.Currently, Gary and others were at the edge of the colony, where the territory was marked with a strong smell of acid. The ground itself was so hot that no plants grew there.“The commander ants release special pheromones to draw a line ar
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 69
Gary’s team split into three groups.Currently, they were at Babuyan islands, on the northern side of what once used to be Philippines, whose map looked very different now with new landmasses and volcanoes rising up everywhere.The entire Philippines region has become at least five times bigger in area now. And these Babuyan islands connected the main landmass now.The levels of the worker ants went from as low as thirty to as high as 150. The commander ants were at least level 200.Leah and Wendevorr went to the west. Sesi and Goya went east.Gary and Rowan came down to the south from the center.Leah’s group employed a brilliant tactic. Wendevorr acted as a decoy. With him, the ants never thought that the humans intruded. While Wendevorr grabbed the attention of the ants by fighting them from the front, Leah used her stealth techniques to quickly off the ants from the rear.She did not show any mercy no matter how much the dying ants writhed in pain. These ants had blood of differe
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 70
On the eastern side of Babuyan islands.Sesi did not care the least bit about being stealthy, and she killed the ants very fast by drilling and cutting through their bodies with her hair.Goya got frustrated because Sesi was not leaving any ants for her. And she couldn’t get to the front, either, because she was afraid that Sesi might kill her unintentionally.Once every couple of minutes, Sesi kept leveling up, and this made her recover her stamina faster and keep fighting.At some point, the commander appeared and attacked her with explosive bombs, but these explosions couldn’t hurt Sesi who used her hair to shield herself. And then she attacked the commander ant with all of her hair.“Full Blight!”Her hair burned and sent waves of energy that all concentrated onto the commander ant and utterly destroyed his body in a huge explosion that sent smoke and flames into the sky.Even Leah, who was on the other side of the islands, was able to see the smoke in the sky.“That idiot…” Leah
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 71
Gary and Rowan were traveling down the central part of the Babuyan islands.Gary took a backseat as Rowan fought in the front. Unlike Sesi who could kill many ants at the same time, Rowan could only kill a few ants at a time because he was still not good at releasing his aura to enhance his swings and amplify the power he could release.Some ants ran past Rowan and attacked Gary, but they got destroyed into smithereens, and even Rowan couldn’t see how Gary was killing them.Gary was punching using his new skill ‘Flash Fist.’It was a combination of aura and the green lightning that he had. Using these two, he could release a condensed version of energy through his punches and make that energy travel and hit a target and explode in a destructive manner. Because of the sheer extreme speed of the attack, the ants died without knowing what hit them.Seeing the ants dying before they could even reach Gary, the other ants focused their attacks on Rowan instead.This gave Gary some time to l
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 72
Rowan tirelessly fought hundreds of ants of all levels. In the past, he had no way of accurately guessing the opponent’s level.However, now, his aura has bettered his senses, and he could vaguely guess the strength of the opponents now.As he fought the ants, he also tried to gauge Gary’s level, but he couldn’t tell exactly how strong Gary was. He could only tell that Gary was stronger than him because his aura signature was very strong.Just then, Gary sat down on the ground and started meditating.“What is he doing?” Rowan wondered.The ants initially didn’t attack Gary even after they saw him sit on the ground and close his eyes. They probably thought that he was luring them in. However, as seconds passed, some of them still felt the urge to attack Gary and so charged him.And this forced Rowan to fight these ants that went after Gary.He had to push himself in terms of speed and agility to deal with all the ants that tried to attack him as well as Gary at the same time.As he pre
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 73
Gary was trying to get to the stage of Energy Fusion.It was like one’s body absorbing the power of a medicine in their stomach. Only difference was that this medicine would not shrink in size. This medicine was his energy core which kept getting replenished by his breathing and concentrating.It wasn’t easy on his body at all. This felt much more painful than when Ai first entered his body and changed him.He could feel stinging pain in his heart because that was the first organ that he needed to fuse the energy with.Then the heart would be able to bear the increased blood pressure required to pump the energified blood to the rest of the body and the organs.It was a slow, tiring, and hurting process.Gary put his trust in Rowan and closed his eyes. He was also ready to fight in case it was needed, but he hoped that he wouldn’t need to fight because the meditation itself was taking a lot out of him.Rowan finished dealing with all the ants in the vicinity and then he came to sit nex
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 74
Rose Witch’s hands were like serrated knives with sharp edges like the thorns on rose branches.Her attacks had an advantage in that they managed to better pierce through Gary’s defenses better than even a regular knife or sword could.So she was able to dig her way through Gary’s aura defense and strike his body, causing him to bleed from his arms.And she laughed maniacally as his blood sprayed into the air.However, Gary’s expression didn’t change one bit. He was already feeling tremendous pain in the heart because he was in the middle of fusing it, so he felt numb to pain anywhere else in the body, and it proved to be a blessing disguise now.He was able to bear the pain and counterattack Rose Witch.However, his fists couldn’t reach her because she was flying so fast he only managed to hit her afterimages. This frustrated him, but he kept on attacking nonetheless as he was not in a position to drag this battle. He had to finish this as fast as possible.Rose Witch was still grinn
HEAVEN'S GATE CHAPTER 75
Though Rose Witch was glaring at Gary, a lot of thoughts were running through her mind. (He used aura, and he has the healing skill of a vampire, and now he’s used lightning ability. Just how many abilities does he have? He’s not ordinary. He’s dangerous. He’s probably not far from my level. I have to beat him now. If I can’t, then I should at least deliver the message to my mom so she’ll come and deal with him.)A rose bloomed on her head and sent sound waves into the distance.“Are you sending signals to your mother?” Gary asked.“So you were able to see it,” she wasn’t too surprised. “I guess you do have the ability to use aura.” (I’ve killed people using aura before. Not all of them are dangerous, but this guy gives a very dangerous vibe. My instincts are telling me that I need to destroy him even if it means I need to sacrifice myself.)“Your plans will not go as you want,” Gary said.“What do you mean? I’ve already sent the message,” she replied. “No one can stop it. In a minute

“I asked for grape juice!” Sesi barked. “But what the hell is this?”“It is grape juice,” the innkeeper looked offended. “It’s fresh. If you drink it, you’ll know.”“You want me to DRINK THIS?” Sesi’s eyes turned red. Rowan grabbed her hand because he felt like she might slap the innkeeper out of anger. “Can a human even drink this? No, even monkeys won’t go near this shit!”Sesi’s words offended not just the innkeeper but also the other customers who loved the grape juice. After all, those grapes were harvested from the grape trees growing in the same village, the Newmere village. So, their pride was hurt when Sesi mocked the grape juice.“Sesi,” Leah intervened. “There’s no need to cause a scene if you didn’t like the drink.”“Leah, just look at this!” she pointed at the mug. “The grape skin and seeds are floating in the drink! How am I supposed to drink it? Uwwgh, I feel like vomiting just thinking about it!”“Maybe, they don’t add grapeskin and seeds in the drink, but we leave the
CHAPTER 144
The adult customers were in awe and disbelief, whereas the children were giggling and smirking from seeing Prince Liu personally serving drinks to a foreign group of four.From Liu, they came to know that the trees in the village weren’t giant a few decades back, but ever since cultivators began to bury the bodies of some beasts around the village, the trees absorbed the nutrients and grew in size and produced food all year, which improved the livelihood of the villagers very much.“You’re only twenty two years old?” Rowan’s eyes bulged in shock. “What the heck, man? You look like you’re forty years old!”Liu angrily smiled. “Yeah, some people say that to me, but all the girls in this village would die to marry me. It’s just that I haven’t found the right woman for me yet.” His eyes fell on Sesi.“Don’t even think about it,” Sesi retorted coldly. “You’re not at all my type. Too macho for me to even feel anything.”Liu then looked at Leah, but she was just fully immersed in talking wit
CHAPTER 143
If reality blended seamlessly with dreams, then it would look like what Gary and everyone else was staring at right now.The towering mountains and crystalline rivers aside, there were young children riding on big foxes and were plucking fruits off the trees. There were beautiful young ladies riding butterflies that flitted from flower to flower and helped the ladies collect honey in leather sacs.The small village that Gary and his friends had first been to was full of giant trees and animals, but the humans were of normal size.The village guards escorted them to the inn and said, “Don’t cause any trouble, or you’ll regret it.”Goya found their words offensive. “Should I just beat him up and show him his place?”“Don’t cause unnecessary trouble,” Wendevorr told her. “Did you already forget what Lord Gary told us? We’re not supposed to fight anyone unless it gets life-threatening.”Goya seemed disappointed. “But that’s boring.”After killing so many monsters, Goya was still in the sl
CHAPTER 142
By the time Gary and his team left the woods, having absorbed the crystal cores and boosting their stats and abilities, they felt more confident than ever.Goya was sitting cross-legged on top of Wendevorr’s head. She was at level 698, and he was at level 699.Rowan increased by ten levels and reached 612.Sesi increased to level 630.Leah went from level 700 to 703.Gary’s level was exactly 800 after defeating the mighty wolf Wynn. He felt much stronger than your average level 800 being would, but he still felt like his current strength was nowhere near enough to deal with all the seven keys, much less their boss, the Immortal King.Leah and Sesi were discussing a lot ever since Leah regained her memories. Sesi wanted to know their love story, so Leah kept telling her everything. Some of the details were a bit too embarrassing, so Gary kept his distance from the ladies.Rowan was leading the group in the front. “I’m still the lowest-leveled in the group, dammit. I know I should be ha
CHAPTER 141
Wynn and Gary’s team parted goodbyes, but Gary and others didn’t leave the forest just yet because Wynn had asked them to kill the remaining demonoids as a favor.Because they had all used the fountain of life, they couldn’t reject his request. However, neither Gary nor Leah had to act for this mission.Sesi, Rowan, Goya, and Wendevorr took the task upon themselves and competed to see who’d find and kill the most number of demonoids. Goya and Wendevorr believed that they had an edge over the humans because of their superior sense stats.Goya went back to the Demon Range to sniff out the remaining demonoids and kill them. Wynn had told them a way to get past the curse that they’d obtain after absorbing the crystal cores. It was to wash these cores in the blood of another animal, and so that blood would take the curse away.Knowing this, everyone felt very excited to get the crystal cores and gain various abilities from that, though crystals that had been cleansed by blood would also be
CHAPTER 140
Gary was talking with Wynn, the great wolf, which seemed to have calmed down now. “I was planning on returning to earth, but after hearing your words, I think we’ll need to stay here a little longer.”“If the opponent is someone who can kill Master Chun Fu, then your current strength is not sufficient,” Wynn said.Though it was a bit rude of Wynn to say that, Gary didn’t disagree with that. “I have to awaken my spiritual energy, too, before I return to earth. So, Leah and I will both be able to use spiritual energy in our group. Together, we can keep hunting those seven keys. And the rest of my group members will take down their minions. I think they’re strong enough to fend for themselves now.”“If you want to awaken the spiritual energy ahead of time,” Wynn said. “Then there’s a place where you can attain that.”“Oh… where is it?” Gary quickly asked.“The Absurd Woods…” Wynn said.“Absurd Woods?” Gary raised an eyebrow. “That’s the name?”“Yeah. It’s full of crazy creatures that har
CHAPTER 139
As Gary approached the fountain, he saw Leah rising up as though the waters were lifting her up. A radiant glow came out of her body. It was warm and beautiful.“What’s going on?” Gary asked.[She’s been cured of the curse, and on top of that she’s awakened the spiritual energy.] Ai said.“A-Awakened?” Gary was startled. “Didn’t you say it’ll take at least level 900 for one to even think about awakening their spiritual energy?”[Yes, but her spirit has been contained by the negative energy of the Dark Witch.] Ai explained. [In order to forcefully release those restraints, the fountain of life had to awaken her spirit.]“So, it’s a byproduct of removing the curse put on her…” Gary’s eyes slowly widened. “Does that mean she gets her memories back?” He quickly scuttled toward the fountain with his heart swelling from hope.Leah was still floating above the fountain, and her eyes slowly opened. She could see everyone around her. Sesi, Rowan, Goya, Wendevorr, even the great wolf in the dis
CHAPTER 138
The great wolf coughed up a lot of blood into the air as his gaze turned blurry. He somersaulted through the air and managed to land on his feet.However, the pain in his diaphragm kept escalating, and it made him bleed some more. He was forced to get down on one knee.Gary was walking toward him confidently, and the great wolf wanted to get up, but the pain in his gut didn’t let him get up just yet.“You lost…” Gary uttered.“Not yet,” the great wolf growled, but that shouting made him cringe in pain.[Say these words to him…] Ai told Gary.Gary then said while looking at the great wolf who was still on one of his knees, “Even though I won’t be around you physically, my love will always be with you, Wynn.”The great wolf’s expression froze. Slowly but surely, tears began to swell in the great wolf’s eyes as he remembered Chun Fu saying those words when he was parting with him. And nobody knew his name except for his master, so this made it clear that Gary was indeed Chun Fu’s success
CHAPTER 137
Many years ago.Chun Fu was teaching the great wolf. “There will come a time when you will need to fight beings that can’t be defeated with punches or slashes. That’s when you need to rely on things like spiritual energy or unique skills. Animals don’t have much spiritual energy, so you should depend on learning unique skills.”“What kind of skills, Master?” the great wolf excitedly asked, waving his tail left and right.“One that will help you fight all kinds of enemies,” Chun Fu said. “The ability to break space itself.”“Breaking space…” the great wolf’s eyes turned wide. “Is something like that even possible?”“Time, space, and matter are three constructs that the worlds are built upon by the Creator,” Chun Fu explained. “All those three constructs can be affected by us. We can break physical matter with our hands because we can interact with it. But space and matter needs different approaches. Skills that will require one to manipulate time are too complex for you to learn. Even
