The Rise Of Calamity

"Yo~" I spoke out as I appeared right behind Croloe and Laila, yet before they could say anything, a loud shout from above could be heard as the same woman that I had met the first time I entered the camp roared at the top of her lungs while holding some king od crystal in her hand.

"IT'S OPENING!"

'It's opening' I knitted my brows while a devilish smile stretched across my face.

While this was supposed to be a dimensional crack that only allowed people under the Liquidus rank to enter, it sent out energies that were rivaling a peak solidus rank, yet that might have just been the amount of energy needed to keep up such a gate that opened to a whole new dimension that no human had entered before!

I could barely keep my excitement in, but with a few words from Hela, I was finally capable of calming myself down and thinking rationally.

'The best thing to do is wait for all of them to enter before I myself enter. I doubt anyone here is as strong as me while they won't be capable of getting to any treasures that might exist before me due to me having divine eyes.'

Contemplating for a few seconds, I held the shoulders of both Laila and Croloe who were about to dash forward with greedy smiles of excitement plastered across their faces.

"What are you doing?!" Laila shouted and tried to get out of my grip, yet she frowned a second later due to not being able to move from her place, even after trying to get out of my grip.

"Let's wait for a few seconds. We won't lose out on anything because I have mana-soul eyes and can probably find anything that you want to look for" I said, tightening my grip on Laila who did not want to stop struggling.

Yet, the moment she heard the words 'Mana-Soul' eyes, she looked right into my eyes and flinched for a second.

She had already seen my eyes before and was confused as to why their color was that of gold, but even though she had many questions, she had still chosen not to ask anything about my eyes the same way she might have not wanted me to ask about something of hers that might have been a secret.

Asking me would have only been pressuring me to tell her, and since she didn't want to repel me from them she tried to be considerate

We waited there for a few more seconds and only after I saw everyone had walked into the crack did I finally push the two in front of me forward, gesturing to them that they should walk in now.

Eventually, both of them walked in and I was the only one left outside.

[Remember. While there might be countless treasures inside, the main goal of this raid is to make sure to close the dimensional crack before the beasts inside can leave.]

'I know, I know' I inwardly chuckled but at the same time, I could not help but have my eye twitch as countless eyes of different military individuals looked at me with warriness.

It was to the point that many of them were holding the hilts of their weapons while looking at me, but even then, I decided to ignore all but one.

Looking up to the right, I saw the same woman who had announced the crack's  opening as well as the same woman I had met a few days prior when I had entered the military camp.

She was looking at me with a piercing gaze but at the same time, I could see the curiosity in her eyes.

"Curiosity killed the cat" I muttered just loud enough for her to hear due to me using a bit of wind magic to redirect my voice.

Before she could mutter a single word, she watched me as I entered the crack without a single second of hesitation, as if I knew everything that was behind it and was not even remotely scared that the things would kill me or that today would be my last day on the planet of my birth.

When I finally entered, the familiar feeling of entering a means of teleportation washed over me, causing me to close my eyes and open them again to see the scene that would be played in front of me as I moved through space itself,

To my surprise, when I opened my eyes I did not see the same scene of an infinite cosmos littered with vibrant colors. Instead, I saw a black abyss that seemed to go on in every direction infinitely.

It was completely black but at the same time, it had tiny specks of white in the distance that became more and more distorted, as if I was moving at the speed of light and all the colors were being bent and stretched to their maximum.

Just to make sure I had a body, I looked down but what i saw was a little more terrifying than surprising.

When I looked down, I saw my body, but what truly scared me was what was under it.

'Is that...'

[The planet you were staying on for the last 9 or so years.]

'Oh my god' I was left in an entranced state where the only thing I could do was look down at the huge landscape under me. The planet itself was huge from what I could tell with my divine eyes, yet the thing that interested me more was the continents.

Right now I could only see about 3 continents and a tiny bit of the 4th one, yet that was enough to tell me how small our continent was, or at least compared to the other ones

The human continent was shaped a bit like Pangea and flourished with different climates, An example of this would be how the West seemed to be mostly made out of a desert earthen color that spread thousands of kilometers in all directions. Another example would be the North, made mostly out of erupting volcanoes and a dark red color while the east was made out of a lot of these dark bluish-black rocks that gave the entire place an aqua theme.

If that wasn't enough, every region also flourished in their own elements, the east mostly releasing water and ice elemental particles while the north and west released fire and earth for their respective locations.

A bit further up from the human continent was a continent that seemed to be 3 times larger while also having the majority of its land of green color or tint.

The place was practically exploding with elemental energies of the earth, water, and wind elements that 50% of the time eventually came together and created the nature element, immediately telling me that the most likely possibility was that the continent belonged to the elven race.

Finally, I could a continent that was twice the size of the human continent, and instead of releasing certain energy, that might have been unique to them alone, the most interesting thing actually was how similar it looked to a first world country on earth due to all the specks of amber and white lights shining and covering the entire continent.

However, while that might have been the end, my eyes perked up and caught a glimpse of something in the north, something that released an extremely dark aura...
