Two months drifted by in no ti at all, and a large cloud of pure dark mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The speed alone was like nothing a re Deity King could compare to.
Neigh!!
Neigh!!
With the Descent of the pure black mist, two horse cries rang throughout the sorounding area, shaking the air and quaking the heinity within the atmosphere of Hell.
Then the black mist spread out, revealing a pure black cloud of darkness. Then a small spark appeared on the dark cloud, it went down, curved right then continued forward before curving up once again, all the way until it reached back to the starting point.
By now, a rectangular-like red line appeared on the black cloud. Then with a "psh", gray mist flew out before the rectangular-like outline was pushed out, laying itself down like a stair way, revealing pure darkness within.
"Haah~ Finally, I'm out." A childish voice was heard from within, when a petite beauty jumped up and flew in the air with a pair of black leathery wings, covered in black aura.
"The ride was the best I've heard to be honest." Another voice ca out, along with a tall, slim and valiant silver haired beautiful girl. She held two blades around her waist and a white cloak over her body.
"Why, thank you." An ethereal voice, one more beautiful and lodious compared to the rest sounded out and brought calmness and serenity with it.
And following the voice, an ethereal Beauty whose charm caused even the temperature of Hell to humble itself before her grace walked out, carrying herself like an Empress.
"You...You are welco." Noelle, once again felt pressured and prayed that this woman does not et Enigma, in case her sisters had any thoughts on him.
"Big sister, are we there yet?" Mimi ignored everything else, she was already used to being inferior to all her senior sisters in certain aspects.
"Yes, there, see that lake, it leads to the Abyss." Louise pointed at a black and suspicious lake at the middle of nowhere with her slim fingers. Mimi and Noelle had a sense of deju vu at the sight of it.
"Lakes, huh." Noelle thought out loud. Their entrance to Hell was also a lake. So, she guessed that lakes were sort of important natural landscapes in Terra.
"So, do we just jump in?" Mimi was the fastest to recover as she looked at Louise and asked. The question was stupid, but this was a semi-higher realm, what was not impossible?
"Yes." Louise nodded as she swept the Chariot back into her sleeves with a light motion of her hand. Them without saying anything else, she walked on the air, towards the lake and looked down upon it.
"Big sister, you should be careful." Mimi warned her. All things aside, she still loved her sisters, especially Louise and Athena, unconditionally. Oh, and especially Cheryl, since she was a pushover. Did she say that before?
"Co here." Louise called out to Mimi without looking back, with beckon of her hand. Mimi had her senses tingle as she felt like nothing good would co out if she went there.
"Yes." But she still went nonetheless. She had no choice whatsoever in this situation.
"Jump in." Without even sugarcoating her words, Louise pointed at the lake and expressionlessly said. Seeing as Mimi was about to say sothing, Louise abruptly patted her back with a bit of force into it.
With that small back pat, Louise cut off Mimi's supply of faith, Divine power and Demonic power to her wings, thus canceling out all the Skill effects and Divine Arts effects she had on her.
"Uh..." Mimi suddenly saw the surface of the lake getting closer and closer to her face, and before she could react, she was slapped across the face with vivacious water and got her senses muddled.
"....." (Noelle)
"....." (Louise)
Silence pervaded the area as Louise kept staring at the water, while Noelle gazed on blankly at the spot where Mimi previously stood at last. Louise suddenly turned to look at her, causing chills to run down her spine.
"Should I...?" She carefully asked, her finger pointing at the black, ink-like water. Her expression was blank and empty, scarring Noelle even more.
"No no no, I'll gladly do it myself." She responded without missing a beat and moved closer to the lake. Like she said, she did not hesitate and jumped in, but regretted the decision when she was mid air.
"....."
Louise waited for a mont until there were no more bubbles onto of the lake, and everything was calm then nodded to herself. Without a second thought, she elegantly jumped into the lake, following after them.
Nothing spectacular happened between the two realms. Instead, she just appeared out of a wall within a dark space, where visibility was at its lowest level. She was not one bit wet.
As for this place, it was really dark. Even being a goddess of Night, Darkness and Shadows, she still found it hard to see a kiloter away from herself. Let alone Mimi and Noelle who were not like her in terms of power.
Noelle could barely see a hundred ters away, Mimi was not any great herself. And when the both of them saw Louise, they hurried to hide behind her because this place was eerily quiet and too creepy.
"Bi...Big sister..." Mimi held Louise's hand tightly and called out ekly. She was usually tough and fearless, but the Abyss was not sothing a Main God would take lightly.
Let alone her. A small Young True God!!
"This is the Abyss, the lower Abyss, and also the first layer." Louise did not respond to Mimi's desperate call and just began explaining. Noelle was already regretting coming here.
The Abyss? Hah!! There were better ways to commit suicide either than going through the Abyss. Nothing good was ever said about the Abyss, and every invasion from the Abyss led to a Divine Calamity.
"Big... Big sister, why did we co here? And how long are we staying here? Why did you bring the useless eith you?" Mimi ekly asked once again.
Louise did not respond at first. She instead went towards the wall she ca out from and touched it lightly. She then nodded to herself with a knowing look on her face.
"Big sister?" Mimi called out subconsciously.
"There's no way out. And by the way, there are a thousand floors of this Abyss." Louise said after a mont of thought, as her first statent was not despair inducing.
"No... No way out?" Noelle looked at Louise with a blank expression. The feeling of deju vu grew wilder and wilder the more she thought of her situation.
Wasn't this situation similar to a previous experience she went to? And worst of all, both sisters were the cause of such situations. The older, the more frightening the situation.
"A thousand?!" Mimi exclaid in fright as she cried tears of blood and regret. How was she supposed to climb a thousand floors of death and despair?
"Don't be loud. There are only 111 floors in this Greater World, and there are nine such worlds." Louise walked forward as she explained. Mimi and Noelle hurriedly followed.
"Isn't that 999 in total?" Noelle asked.
"Yes, but the Bottomless Abyss, the last floor is not within the nine worlds. Instead, it is the illusory sea bed of the vast Realities within the Boundless Void, that make up this Verse." Louise said after a mont of surveying her soroundings.
"...."
"Realities, as in amalgamation of Universes into Multiverses, Multiverses into Hyperverses or Lower Realms, and Hyperverses into Cosmos or Middle Realms, then Cosmos co to make up Reality itself..."
Seeing the confused expression on Noelle's face, Louise opted to use simple terms instead. "There are an infinite amount of universes within the Boundless Void, each separated by the vast Dark Void that can be crossed by .
"Then once a certain number of Universes are born, their Dark Void fuses, and creates a much powerful barrier that protects all within. This is considered a Multiverse.
"These multiverses keep growing and expanding, and at one point, a certain number of them will rge into one, creating sothing... like a single river that stretches on and on, where billions of Multiverses swim within. This is a Hyperverse, a Lower Realm in simple terms."
She paused, giving Noelle and Mimi, the chance to absorb this information. This was information the Palaces font teach, bit could still be found within the libraries.
And Louise knew Mimi hated reading. She then continued monts later, as in the anwhile, her eyes surveyed the new environnt she found herself in.
"These rivers then extend and et, and once millions of them are combined, they form sothing similar to a spiral of multicolored light, like an illusory ocean where qaudrillions of Multiverses can be located, containing a total of a nigh infinite amount of Universes within.
"This is a Cosmos. Thousands of such Cosmos co to form sothing we term as a Beta Reality, a Middle Realm, resembling an entire ocean of countless Universes you cannot count. And—" Louise was about to continue explaining when Mimi nudged her and pointed at the blank Noelle. "Big sister, she is not understanding anything you are saying."
