Chapter 592 The Gateway to the Underworld: Uncovering Kadeon's Plan
592 The Gateway to the Underworld: Uncovering Kadeon's Plan
I turned back to them and pulled some Primal Magic into my hand, and then tried to force it into one of the batteries, but there was little to no interaction with the orb, and the magic just dissipated. Next, I tried changing it with True Magic, converting it into red Chaos Energy, and then back to its original form. While I would be able to use it in that form, I was trying to figure out how it worked in this form.
About ready to throw the damn thing, I tried to absorb the Positive Energy that was left in it, and to my surprise, that came out like nothing. I drained it down till there was an equal part, positive and negative, and then held it up as the two little bits started to become active inside the battery. I had figured out what I could take from them, but now I was curious to know why not all of the Negative had been taken. It had been the same for the other battery that I had touched.
Now that there was a balanced amount of both types of energy, they started to orbit a point. Even though there was only a fingernail worth of energy of each kind, I could feel the power increase slowly. I tried to drain both of them down even further till the points were like dust, but the output kept rising. The moment that I took them out of balance, they would slow down and stop. That left me with only one question. What would happen if I took one out completely?
I had drained them down to the lowest point I could, barely being able to sense either anymore, and then took a deep breath. This should be fine, but something about these energies being down in the Underworld had me on edge, but I needed to know how these things work. I let go of the breath and decided to pull out the Negative Energy, leaving the Positive.
Then the crystal started to crack, and I ran for the door, flung it open, and ran as fast as I could away from the other batteries. I didn't get far as I called Primal Magic to me that for once actually flooded my body as I called shield after shield, but nothing was stopping this.
The energy battery burst, and myself and everything around me were blown back as time slowed, but then everything started to suck inwards. I desperately formed shield after shield to block me from the singularity that had been created, but everything in the twenty-foot radius around me was sucked in. While it happened, I felt my body being stretched as incredible forces pulled on me, and then it just stopped.
I had been floating from all the magic I had been using, but I collapsed into the big hole, smacking down and sliding into the smooth center of the perfect sphere that had been cut out of where I had been standing. And that was with the smallest amount of energy left inside.
"What did you just do to my house?!" Bellazibub demanded as she stood in the hall that was now cut off and led into the pit I was in.
"Um...I think I just created a black hole," I said sheepishly, and she just glared at me before walking away.
That was not expected, and it made me wonder what would happen if I were to remove the Negative energy from one that was full of Positive energy? Looking around the hole that I was in, I didn't think that I wanted to know the answer to that question.
I climbed out of the hole and went to find Lexi, who was still in the bath, and I told her about what had happened. She gave me a worried look, but she was naked, so I was having a hard time concentrating on anything but her breasts.
"So, I guess you found out how the batteries work, but why? What does Kadeon have planned?" She asked, and I shook my head.
"I'm not sure, but I think he is using the energy to power whatever these Aether Demons. I think that they might be the Zodiacs, like Cancer. He might be trying to create an Underworld with just himself and the Zodiacs in it or use them to rule here in this Underworld over the Demons," I explained, and Lexi nodded.
"Well, it sounds like we need to find out more about these batteries and the Zodiacs, then. We can't let Kadeon have control of them," she said, and I agreed. I would have to find a way to keep them in check, but first, I needed to study them more.
But first, I needed to get Lexi out of her bath and get dressed. Which was proving to be quite the challenge, as she had no intentions of leaving her bath. It was understandable, as it was very relaxing, but I had work to do, and I needed her help. Lexi finally relented, and after she had dressed, we headed to find Bellazibub.
After some arm twisting and the promise of a threesome in the near future, Bellazibub closed the Gore Arena.
There, I set up my research area with the two energy batteries and started to study them further. Lexi stayed and watched, but the majority of the work was done by me as I finally figured out how to control the energy and keep them in check.
I had to open a small portal to the Mortal Realm and siphon negative Energy to fill them, and I got them back to even. The moment I did, the energies started to spin inside, and I felt waves of chaos start to be emitted. It was the same energy I had felt when I would break through Heaven's Filament from all the Chaos Beasts.
Now, I just had to find out what Kadeon'e plan was, why he was using them, and how to stop it.
