Kapitel 3: Gate of Inheritance

ROOOOAR! The megadile was so furious that an insect was able to escape from it. It started gathering water energy in its mouth.

"Not good!" thought Edgar. He moved toward the huge trees that could block the attack of the megadile.

WATER BOMB

BOOM! Edgar hid behind a big tree and avoided the attack, but trees with the width of humans waists were easily destroyed.

"Damn! If I am hit by that water bomb, I will be blown into pieces!" Edgar had sweats on his face just by imagining it.

The megadile was angry that it did not destroy the insect. Its eyes turned red, it wanted to attack with more powerful magic. Water energy was gathering in its mouth, a blue energy ball was forming.

ROAAAAR! The megadile was startled. It hesitated, but it eventually dispersed the energy ball, then quickly turned to leave. The sound was a warning from a more powerful beast to leave its territory.

"It finally left." Edgar felt relieved. For the first time, he felt lucky that he was not a hyperbeing, so he could not be detected by the powerful beast that scared the megadile since he had no magical power. He only had a more powerful physique than ordinary people. The wolf and megadile attacked him because they saw him.

"I must erase my odor first,"Edgar thought, then he took out a spray from his pouch. He was not able to keep his sword in the river, but he tried his best to keep his pouch because what contained inside of it was very necessary for his survival. If his odor was erased, then he will become invisible to the beast if they could not see him.

He climbed a tall tree and started resting. A few hours after resting, he started thinking how to get out of the inner zone.

He crossed his arms while sitting cross leg on a wide branch of the huge tree and thought,"Should I look for guild members and ask for their help? Will they be willing to help an ordinary human like me? If I am a hyperbeing with great potential, then they might be willing to help me. They might even turn me into bait while they hunt for the beast. Wait, if the beast cannot detect me, then so do hyperbeings! I don't have magic, so they can't sense me. I can sneak beneath their armored vehicles at night! Hahaha!"

He was happy that he had a higher chance of living because of his idea.

"From what I read, it is quite far from here where they park their armored cars because there is no road for vehicles in the deeper area of the inner zone. I need to plan how to reach that place." He frowned while thinking of the information he had on places that he must travel before reaching his destination.

BOOOOM! He wad shocked by the sudden, loud explosion, which was followed by an earthquake and a mixture of roars from beasts.

"Explosion, earthquake, mixture of roars. It's Beast Horde! World's Burst!" thought Edgar.

A world's burst happened when the broken world was not cleared on time. All the beasts inside will appear on Earth. Beasts were graded from Tier 0 to Tier 3. Tier 0 don't have magical abilities, but they were still a lot stronger than ordinary humans.

Every broken world can be cleared when the huge blue crystal that maintained it was destroyed. The crystal was not easy to find. It could be hidden in the underground, cave, lake, center of the landmass, or Palace of God.

The broken world has precious materials like magical plants, magic stones, and minerals. There was opportunity but also danger brought by magic beasts, carnivorous plants, and the landmass itself. The landmass could be a world of lava, poison, floating islands, underwater worlds, space lands, and other dangerous worlds.

Edgar was sweating. He was very nervous that those mighty beasts might move toward him. He climbed to the top of the tree and used his small telescope to observe those beasts. Thankfully, they were not moving to his location since it was near the territory of water-based beasts.He observed the source of the world's burst. He saw something that caused his heart to quickly beat. His whole body was trembling with excitement.

"Palace of God! The world's burst caused a fissure in the space, and a small opening in a nearby broken world appears! It is a small opening, but I can do it! I have been waiting for this chance for a long time!" Edgar thought, then he quickly climbed down from the tree and ran toward the opening. He already planned the route where he will run. He ran where there were no beasts because they were scared by the beast horde.

ROOOOAARR!

ROOOOAARRR!

BOOOOM! BOOOM!

The king of both different species started fighting for territory. The Giant Blue Ape was the boss of the recent world's burst. The apes' enemy was a giant, dark orange triceratops.

EARTH SPIKE

WIND BOMB

BOOOMM! The triceratops controlled the earth element, while the ape controlled the wind.

Their fight caused explosions, dust, and large boulders to rain. It was very dangerous for Edgar but also a good opportunity because the dust blocked those beasts from seeing him. He was already near the opening, but it suddenly darkened. He looked at the sky, then he saw a falling large boulder.

"It's do or die!" When he took the next step, he put all of his strength into his legs, then dove to the opening.

BOOM! When the boulder crashed, Edgar was already inside the broken world. The Palace of God was below a tall cliff. Around it were towering trees. In front of the giant white palace were one hundred-meter-tall sculptures. The sculptures were wearing armor and holding spears. He walked toward the palace. He needed to jump on the stairs because of their huge size, then he went inside the palace.

A column of huge sculptures was lined up inside. He looked at the huge sculptures with awe as he kept walking, then he reached a hall. In the middle of the hall was a huge blue crystal. At the end of the hall was a giant gate, fifty meters in size.

Edgar looked at the gate and was fascinated by the huge size, beautifully carved runes, and embedded gems. His past experiences suddenly crossed his mind. He experienced many life-and-death situations for the gate. He finally met the chance to gain power that could shake the world.

"Gate of Inheritance. Here I come."

The huge gate opened, then a white light spread throughout the whole hall, and Edgar was devoured.
