Chapter 1854 – Nyx Behind the Door
Lina was about to draw her sword to help when she saw the sudden huge shift in Athena and Artemis’ attitudes, so she couldn’t help but look blankly at Lin Qiye.
”Never mind.” Seeing that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Lin Qiye directly retracted the Heavenly Clouds Sword and looked around as if he was searching for something.
”Where’s mother?”
Athena Artemis glanced at each other, neither speaking.
Noticing that the atmosphere was off, Lin Qiye frowned slightly, “She’s not here? Where is she?”
After a moment, Artemis still reached out her hand and pointed at the very tip of the light cone, the Broken Truth Gate that stood in the void.
Lin Qiye followed her fingertip and was slightly stunned, “Gate of Truth? What does that mean?”
”Lord Nyx, behind that door.”
Artemis, the goddess of hunting, walked towards Lin Qiye, her eyes gazing at the remains of that door of truth as a color of remembrance appeared in her eyes.
”Back then, Lord Niix was assassinated by Zeus and was forced to come to Antarctica to heal his wounds, and then we unintentionally entered this time labyrinth, and at first we didn’t know what this labyrinth actually was and were lost in it.
Later, Lord Nyx discovered the mystery of the labyrinth and followed the direction of the ‘future’ to find this place, and retrieved Athena and I, who were lost among the many fragments of time, and just as we were about to leave this place and kill our way back to Olympus, Lord Nyx saw that door.”
Artemis stepped on the black and white world and walked through the many fragments of time towards the door of truth that towered over the nothingness, with Lin Qiye and Lina following close behind.
Only after getting closer did Lin Qiye realize that the remains of that Gate of Truth they had seen in the time fragments before was only half of it.
The broken, massive portal was like a mirror, with the front side of the mirror extending out into endless time fragments, and both 22 and Vishnu were now on that side;whereas the safe passage Lin Qiye and the others were on led to the back side of the mirror.
Faint gray mist rolled around the portal like a rolling veil, and the portal was like a wreckage lost for countless years, buried silently in the dead silence.
In the past, what An Qingyu had summoned were all shadows of the Gate of Truth, and this was the first time Lin Qiye had actually witnessed the Gate of Truth’s main body …… although it was in tatters.
”Then what?” Lin Qiye asked.
”This door, it seems to have the ability to reflect the past …… Lord Nyx just took one look at this door and stopped in her tracks. According to her, she heard the voice of her past self coming from behind the door.”
”Past self’s voice? What did it say?”
”She said that the door held the power of equivocation.” Artemis paused for a moment and spoke again, “We’re not sure about the specifics, but after hearing it, Lord Nyx wanted to make a deal with this door.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye’s heart sank.
Make a deal with the Gate of Truth?
Not long ago, Lin Qiye had just witnessed how pitiful this thing was, even if it was an equal exchange, it had a hundred ways to exploit the person it was trading with, an unabashedly black merchant, and even An Qingyu had nearly fallen for it.
”What kind of deal did she make?”
Artemis opened her mouth, but still spoke, “She wanted to resurrect her children.”
Lin Qiye was stunned in place.
In his mind, the haggard and dull face he had just seen when he opened Ward One suddenly appeared.
”I’ve finally found you …… my children!”
”……”
”Thuponos! My child, so you’re here too!”
”……”
”Thuponos, don’t worry, your brother will be back soon, he was just being playful for a while ……”
”……”
Nyx was the first patient to be cured from the hospital, Lin Qiye did cure her, but the regrets and pain in her heart still existed …… and the appearance of the Gate of Truth undoubtedly gave her a chance to make amends.
Even if she destroyed the entire Olympus, her children wouldn’t be able to come back, but the Gate of Truth in front of her could do it.
Lin Qiye could even imagine what kind of firmness and determination was contained in Niux’s gaze as she stood here at that time, looking towards the Gate of Truth. That was the greatest sacrifice she could make for her children as a mother.
”Mother ……,” Lin Qiye muttered.
”After Lord Nix made this request, the mist in this door suddenly rolled violently, then the door opened at a corner, and Lord Nix turned her head and instructed us for a few moments, and walked directly into the door.”
”Walked into the door?”
What was behind the Door of Truth? Lin Qiye wasn’t sure.
But the request Niux made, even if the Gate of Truth wanted to fulfill it for her, it would require an extremely terrifying price …… How many children does Niux have? A dozen or twenty of them can’t even be fought, and they’re all gods, wanting to resurrect all of them? Even if Nyx puts herself in it all, it’s not enough!
Moreover, a long time had passed since Niix entered the Gate of Truth, but up until now Lin Qiye hadn’t heard any news of any of her children being resurrected in the mist, so it was clear that she was probably just as deceived by the Gate of Truth as An Qingyu was.
”How long has she been in there?”
”Almost four years.”
”During these four years, didn’t you guys try to bring her back?”
”We tried.” Athena spoke in a deep voice, “But no matter how much we put out our hands, we couldn’t shake this door in the slightest, let alone open it up ……”
Lin Qiye gazed at the remains of the portal in front of him, his brows locked and his fists unconsciously clenched.
He took a deep breath and slowly extended his palms towards the tightly closed portal.
”What do you want to do?” Lina saw this and spoke in disbelief.
”I want to try and see if I can open it.”
Seeing Lin Qiye’s actions, Athena’s brows frowned slightly and
”It’s useless, not to mention the Lord God, even the Supreme, it’s almost impossible to open this door with brute force, even if you’re Lord Nyx’s chosen heir, it’s still impossible to do it.”
Over the past four years, they had tried to open this door countless times, they had used all kinds of methods, and that was precisely why they knew how difficult it was to open this door.
As the Goddess of War, Athena’s battle prowess was at the top of all the Lord Gods, so naturally she was high-minded and proud. When she had repeatedly heard Nyx talk about how much potential this godson of hers had before, she was a bit disdainful, after all, everyone was a Lord God, and she didn’t believe that Lin Qiye could be special to any extent.
As Lin Qiye’s palm pressed against the surface of the Gate of Truth, an inexplicable chill surged through his heart, and the clean white feathered wings behind Lin Qiye’s back slowly opened, the golden domain spreading wildly in all directions!
[Mortal Dust Divine Domain]!
Lin Qiye was clear in his mind that being in the same Main God realm, opening the door by brute force was almost impossible …… But the more impossible it was, the greater Lin Qiye’s chances of winning instead.
A miracle was what Lin Qiye relied on to open the door!
As Lin Qiye’s palms exerted force, a vein rippled up from under his skin, terrifying divine power swept between the black and white worlds, a golden furnace burned in his eyes, and his body’s power had been pushed to the extreme!
