The room lit up, it revealed the black and golden throne, the murals, statues, and the large floor to roof arched windows
"It looks a lot better than it did in the dream, that's for sure"
A rainbow presence entered their sight
"How is it Alista? is the sanctum how you expected" The rainbow presence appeared next to them causing Asterion to quickly look at it
"I might as well introduce myself to you at least." He walked beside Alista, his form shaping into a rainbow version of him. "I am his benefactor, I help him, he helps me"
Asterion felt overwhelmed but recovered rather quick and looked at Alista
"Why is he calling you Alista, isn't your name Urizen?"
"That's about half-right. The original owner of this body's name is Urizen, however, I am Alista Allviack. I am not from this world."
His eyes widened
"You're not from this world? What about you?" He looked towards the 'Him'
"I am from this world, but I died a long time ago"
Asterion rubbed his temples and looked at Alista
"Why did you bring me here" 'He' walked away from them and stared out into space
"I brought you here because I want you to join us. Our mission is to protect humanity"
"Now what makes you so sure I wont refuse?"
"You won't, if you do refuse then you will likely be hunted by the gods, good and evil. You have witnessed this sanctum, now you will leave and die, or you will stay and join us. Furthermore, I will help you become a god." Alista spoke with certainty he would join them
He pondered his words and knew how advantageous this would be. "I'll join y'all."
"What do we do now?" 'He' appeared behind Asterion
"You just have to swear to keep this a secret then we'll start planning out what to do" A knife and chalice flew from the wall, the knife landed in Asterion's hands, and 'He' then held the chalice up to him
"Cut your hand and let the blood drip into this cup, all I need is three drops" He hesitantly cut his hand and let the blood drain into the cup. After this was done, 'He' walked over to the throne and poured it onto the seat. The throne glowed gold for a couple seconds then turned back to normal.
Asterion felt something touch his soul, after a couple seconds it gradually disappeared
Alista slapped Asterion on his back. "Great! Now we can start planning where to begin"
'He' summoned an octagonal golden table with engravings on it
They examined the table, the table having the sanctum in the middle, and paths leading to all different areas of the galaxy. however, some of them led to different dimensions
"The Mind World, The Astral world, The Underworld, and the Dreamworld." Asterion rubbed his hand across the edges of the table. The cold golden steel turned his hand cold
Alista looked at 'Him'. "Are we still going to the Mind world?" 'He' nodded.
"Getting the divine throne of the Mind 'Gate' is our top priority, using that 'Gate' we could build our army and begin to unify humanity. So yes we're still going to the Mind world" he nodded
"So how will we get to the Mind world? do we tap on its engraving or is there a special process" 'He' looked at the engraving of the Mind world
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"its the former." 'He' tapped on the engraving of the Mind world. Once he tapped on it, the engraved lines of the table started to turn a glowing grey, this color reached beyond the table and made a door underneath one of the large statues
"Go, I'll be with you soon"
Asterion walked into the gate while Alista talked with 'Him'
"How would we find the Mind God"
"He will come to you, a presence on your magnitude is nearly equivalent to a gods. He will get curious and want to investigate it" Alista nodded and turned to the gate
"Don't go yet, I have something for you" Alista turned to 'Him' as 'He' materialized a white, gold, and black armor set, along with two swords, one ripping through the air with red flames, the other ripping through the air with blue flames
"This will nullify all powers except yours in a given area. its a nullification aura" Alista put on the armor and felt some divinity fill his body. Grabbed the swords and felt their flames scorch his skin, but after a couple minutes, the flames healed his skin and no longer burned him
Alista walked into the gate, his eyes slowly adjusting to the empty Mind world. Once his eyes adjusted he saw Asterion waiting for him
"Have you tried your new abilities yet" Alista spoke to him as he walked past him, Asterion followed him
"What?" Alista turned his head towards him
"You advanced to Annulium. Don't tell me you didn't know?" Asterion shook his head
"I... didn't know" Alista sighed
"You can test them in the upcoming battle." Suddenly, thoughts and peoples eyesight began to materialize
"This world is chaotic. I wonder how the Mind God deals with it and what he does" He nodded at Asterion's statement
"You're right about that, This world is chaotic. If I were the Mind God I would've gone insane" Alista peeked into the sight of an individual, when he did this he saw a galactic battle, where cannon fire, rail guns, and people were shooting each other in the halls of the ships. Alista paid close attention to this battle, he saw one of the ships shot giant claws into the other. "Oh?" He then saw flying objects flying in between the large ships. "Are those mechs?" he raised his eyebrow
"Space warfare..." Asterion looked into the sight with him. They both paid close attention to this battle, Asterion felt excited at this sight while Alista memorized the ships and weapons they used in this battle, plans already cooking up in his head. "What am I doing? It's only been about a month since I woke up in this body, I used to be so cautious and scared of everything" 'He' spoke up in Alista's mind. "It's because of me, I integrated parts of myself into you. You will no longer be scared of anything, you will plan everything out."
He was surprised for a second, then turned away from the sight
"lets go."
They continued to walk through the Mind World until they arrived at a bottomless hole in the ground. "What is this?"
Suddenly, they were both pushed into the hole from behind, Alista used the transmutation 'Gate' to grow large wings, caught Asterion and flew back up. Once they landed back on the ground they looked at what pushed them. They saw a translucent entity with glowing white eyes staring back at them
"Who are you." Alista said to the entity, once the entity spoke they felt their vision cloud slightly
"I am the one y'all are searching for" Asterion looked at the entity
"So your the Mind God"
"Yes, I appreciate y'all speaking with respect unlike that rainbow bitch" They both chuckled at that since they knew who the Mind God was taking about
"So, what do y'all want"
Alista quickly replied to him
"We've come here to take your position of God of the Mind 'Gate'."
The Mind God looked at them and slightly laughed
"Is that so?
...
in Zamor, with the Anhrams and Uro, in the throne room
"My Lord, the heart is here but Urizen disappeared. We suspect that he died falling from the ice dragon in flight" Fulcrum said, not bothered to mention Asterion
Uro walked over to the windows overlooking the city, a wave of sadness washed over him. "You were too powerful to simply die from a fall."
"Send out a message for everyone to investigate this. I know he cant die from a fall like that, its simply unbelievable" The Anhrams nodded and walked out of the throne room
Uro walked out after a couple minutes and walked to the heart of Odin
"You will serve me well" Uro stuck his hand into the heart, after a couple seconds of digging, pulled out an icy glowing orb. He then walked to his room, placed it on an anvil and conjured a hammer
Bang! Uro kept shaping the orb, after a couple more hours of hitting it. Uro pulled out the newly shaped orb, its form now looked like a sword with a wide tip. A draconic voice spoke through the sword and an silver colored eye appeared on the blade
'Where am I?" Uro brought the sword closer to his face
"Well now this is a new experience." Uro had an idea and thought about Alista
"Tell me what happened just a couple seconds before you died"
The blades eye blinked slowly as if trying to remember what happened
"I got hit with something, it was painful and torturous" The eye looked up at Uro
"Was there anyone there with you? did you have someone with long black hair with you?" The blade blinked again
"There were two people with me and he was one of them" Uro cracked at smile at this answer and was about to reply but the blade spoke again
"Right before it all went blade, I saw a dark and terrible object in the distance. All I felt from it was hatred, but there was also a certain elegance to it. It felt unreal" Uro's eyes flickered in recognition. "There's no way... the only thing that can match that description is the Anathemian sanctum... I thought it was destroyed or lost to time."
