Kapitel 1315: Abilities of the Archaeon

The land around me all felt vaporous despite the plethora of traps capable of killing me or anyone else who stepped out of line. It all felt as if I was in a dense mist as I wove through the fog that was once stone within the cave that held the Prime Evils.

I was sure this was just further proof that the Path of Archaeon had transcended me into something beyond my understanding. Still, as the power of Archaeon flowed through the world around me, it sometimes felt like I was surrounded by a mist in which I could flow in every conceivable dimension.

I didn't understand it myself. No, it wasn't that I couldn't understand it; rather, it was as if my conscious awareness could not grasp what my subconscious had. It was a feeling, a state of knowing that preceded understanding.

"Sene?" Lilith called, awakening me to her being standing beside me. Had Eve teleported them out of that cave? "How'd do that? Eve said, only someone with a higher Authority should be able to do what you just did."

I was struggling to conceive the words when they came out of my mouth: "I think the best way to describe it was to push myself past the concept of Heaven's End. Rather than existing on the infinite spectrum of higher dimensions, I separated myself from the Myriad Heavens."

Eve looked at me with a strangeness that made me cover my chest. "Stop eye-raping me!"

"FUCK OFF!!!!"

Inwardly laughing at Eve's furious expression, I glanced over to Lilith, who gave me a hungry look when her voice resounded through my head.

"Get Zariel to babysit. You're mine tonight."

Fuck yeah!

"Does that mean you could, in theory, bypass Tenebrae's seal?" Eve asked darkly but I only shook my head.

"Tenebrae, Mithra, Hellmaster, and I assume a few other Primordials exist independently like me as a Celestial Body outside the Myriad Heavens. I can't cross their space like I can with this realm. The seal, at least to my understanding, was created by Tenebrae's main body, who is vastly stronger than me… and I mean vastly. Right, Lilith?"

"Yes. Arsene has touched upon the—" She stopped, looking up towards the skies as if to communicate to someone. Lilith pouted but nodded almost reluctantly. "I've been told that you need to figure out your abilities on your own."

"The Father?"

"Yup."

"Lol. Have you ever had that moment where you know you've made it? Casually talking to the All-Father within Heaven like it's nothing. My wife really has made it. I feel quite honored. Plus, we got kids!"

Lilith blushed, flashing me a pearly smile. "Stop it," she said shyly. "You're embarrassing me!"

"Enough flirting!"

Shooting Eve a slight glance, I sighed before refocusing on my endeavor. I really might have ADHD.

Channeling the 'breath' through me, careful not to use it too much, the shadowscape of Tenebrae's creation grew all the more vaporous beneath the level of my understanding. The world through my eyes broke down like pixels fading into nothingness.

A black void welcomed me, but even the darkness seemed to fall to nothingness as I continued to bypass the matrix of Heaven's End; a strange, oaked door that bore the crest of a familiar-looking tree appeared before my eyes.

"Lilith, can you see that?"

"Maybe if I was in the Abyss. But not in the Myriad Heavens," said Lilith. And I could only figure that had been yet another restriction from the One. But now that I think about it, Lilith has not told me much of what she can do. In fact, I barely know what she does within the Abyss.

"I see, then Eve, are you coming?"

Eve didn't hesitate to shake her head. "I have no good memories in Eden.'

Even Lilith had to look at her. Honestly, was Adam that bad? But it didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. Now that I know where the entrance is, I should be able to access Eden from anywhere in the Myriad Heavens.

As I placed my palm around Lilith's waist, we stood before a grand door frame that towered above us. The frame was intricately carved with ornate details that seemed to come to life as we approached. I reached out to touch the frame, and as my skin grazed its surface, I was hit by a strange sensation. It was as though I was being pulled through a thick, viscous liquid. The door frame seemed to ripple like a wave, and for a moment, I was engulfed in a whirlpool of colors and textures. By the time I blinked, the world around us had shifted.

Familiar and unfamiliarity pooled across my mind as I felt myself swallowed by the Breath of God, breeding life in the paradise around me. It felt wrong being here, yet the naughty sensation only seemed to deepen across my being as little Arsene rose to attention, saluting the paradise of the Garden of Eden.

Lilith held little Iza gently in her palms, enraptured by the breathtaking scenery that surrounded her. She twirled around, gazing at the ethereal beauty of the lush foliage that stretched as far as the eye could see. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of the flowers that glittered and danced as if alive, far beyond what our minds could ever conjure. With each step, the ground seemed to come alive with a symphony of colors and textures, a canvas of nature's masterpiece.

"How could Adam and Eve ruin such a place? You think we can find the Apple?"

"You think it was an apple tree?" I asked, feeling a bet coming on. "What if it's a pomegranate tree?

Lilith's blood-red eyes sparkled. "That's even better. Pomegranate is even tastier," she said, nibbling on Iza's cheeks. She lifted her eyes back on me. "You can feel it, too, right? The divine protection this land invokes."

"Yeah…" I muttered as I hesitated to say, " I kind of don't want Zariel to find this place. God knows the level of perfection he'd obtain, having seen Eden for the first time."

"Think he'll catch a nosebleed?"

"Shall we make a bet then?" I suggested.

"Name the terms. Naming rights for the third child?"

I immediately shook my head "Fuck no! Not after you screwed me with Iza's name. Something smaller. Like… let's say… a threesome. You, me, and Tenebrae."

"... alright… but if you're wrong. I get to kick you in the balls…. Continuously."

"...Deal…"
