Chapter 259
Ethereal Defense Corp., which the United Nations recognizes as the last line of protection for the entire planet, and Guan Yu Liu Chen have been leading these elite warriors to safeguard humanity against supernatural threats for over a decade.
With unmatched combat skills and unwavering dedication, Liu Chen has successfully defended countless cities from the onslaught of otherworldly creatures. As the world continues to face new and more dangerous paranormal challenges, the Ethereal Defense Corps remains at the forefront, ready to confront any threat that dares to endanger humanity's existence.
Seeing the drastic increase in dimensional anomalies in secluded places, these supernatural entities are secretly establishing their own nest and gradually increasing their numbers. Some are cordial and seek only to find a quiet place to live.
However, others have malicious intentions and pose a significant threat to both humans and the natural order of the world. The Ethereal Defense Corps and other Leagues, at their respective locations, tirelessly investigate these hidden nests and eliminate any potential danger they may bring. And relocate peaceful and harmless creatures under the protection of the evolved Naga race that swore loyalty to the Liu Chen family.
Mr. Suryadi Hartono, with his daughter Annisha Hartono, and the Guoliang Long subfamily of the Liu Chen main clan worked with Rilith, the Naga serpent humanoid, including a handful of its evolved fellow race, to organize the underground reservation. And made sure that the facility size and capacity could accommodate the new mythological creatures who were amicable to their presence.
They also implemented strict security measures to ensure the safety of both the creatures and the humans involved in the operation. The collaboration between the Hartono family, the Liu Chen clan, and the Naga race proved to be a successful endeavour, fostering a harmonious coexistence between different species within the reservation.
Some mythological beings or races were humanoid-looking and could pass out as ordinary human beings. Those who were sentient could communicate and had a certain amount of learning capacity were treated like students and were given a curriculum tailored to their unique abilities and interests.
The educational program aimed to nurture their intellectual growth and facilitate their integration into the reservation's society. As a result, these mythological beings not only contributed to the cultural diversity of the community but also enriched the knowledge and understanding of all residents through their unique perspectives and experiences.
These beings all have the same information to share, so soon they can speak the Earth dialect. They mentioned that a great disaster came upon their land as countless flesh-eating insects poured pour out from the ground and started eating every living creature in sight. The community was devastated. Their king was powerless to face these hordes because he lacked the military resources to protect everybody. They were forced to leave their homes and seek shelter inside mountains and caves with solid granite foundations.
Suddenly, without notice, they found themselves teleported into this realm. They mentioned that their world was vast and filled with magnificent landscapes, towering mountains, and sprawling forests teeming with diverse flora and fauna. They spoke of crystal-clear lakes and rivers that flowed with pristine water, sustaining their civilization for generations.
The inhabitants had developed a deep connection with nature, living in harmony with the environment and respecting its delicate balance. However, they also shared tales of ancient ruins and mysterious artefacts that hinted at a rich history and hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. And a tale that reached Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao's ears,
So much information has flooded into their controlled facility, confirming what Chāo Tang Liu Chen, the Liu Chen patriarch, said that a wide-scale war will consume the earth. Grandpa Tang wasn't that naïve to connect everything that happened to them and the circumstances that were happening all over the planet were truly included to what their divine benefactor had told them.
And now that Ramiel was able to temporarily regain consciousness, they all waited for him to once again regain awareness for the third time. Dr YaXiu Fang was convinced his soul was using the dreaming world to enter his human body, even without scientific evidence to support her belief. She had witnessed the unexplainable events surrounding Ramiel's awakening and believed that his connection to the dreaming world was the key to understanding his unique abilities.
As she continued her research, she hoped to uncover more about the mysterious forces at play and how they could potentially alter the course of the impending war.
Ramiel's second awakening was much longer and more focused he was able to communicate and share small pieces of information on what had happened to him, Everyone was relieved to hear he was doing well even with certain easily., but Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao were tapping into this information easily because they had been dwelling in the realm of the unknown for many years, developing their own unique abilities and understanding of the supernatural.
Their extensive knowledge and experience allowed them to navigate the hidden realms with ease, making them invaluable assets in their conversation with Ramiel. As they delved deeper into the mysteries surrounding the impending war, Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao became increasingly convinced that their combined efforts would be crucial in altering its course for the better.
The two elders decided to conceal this vital information from their benefactor to safeguard his own safety until they determined the best course of action. They knew that revealing their suspicions prematurely could potentially put him in danger and compromise their lives.
With their vast wisdom and intuition, Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao strategized on how to gather more evidence and allies before sharing their findings with benefactors, ensuring they were fully prepared to face the challenges ahead.
The dimensional opening has never allowed any human beings to enter its opening and set foot into the realm of these supernatural creatures, leaving Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao uncertain of what they would encounter once they finally breached the barrier. Ramiel was travelling back and forth from the twelfth realm and into earth by using the dreaming world as his soul conduit.
But doing this was making him vulnerable and susceptible to physical attacks because he was defenseless and unable to protect himself while in the dream world. He knew that he needed to find a way to strengthen his protection before continuing his journeys between realms. Ramiel sought the guidance of ancient text books at the royal capitals main library, that possessed knowledge of powerful protective spells, hoping they could learn how to shield himself from harm while traversing the dream world.
So he made sure Hilas and Irles Filri were by his side. In their mind he was just exhausted from making passionate love with the two of them, and because time in the twelfth realm was longer, he was able to remain on earth without being noticed as he sleep soundly beside the two woman he loves unconditionally
Ramiel's encounters in the dream world had left him vulnerable and exposed, making him realize the importance of fortifying his defenses and that having the two best fighters by his side would be crucial for his safety. Hilas and Irles Filri were renowned for their exceptional combat skills and truly loved him as their lover and soon husband.
it was a peculiar feeling waking up inside his real human body while his artificial one was on another dimension, but knowing the circumstances he was in, he had to adjust fast and deal with the situation as it was handed to him, being confused was not an option, he took a deep breath and recalled the feeling of being a human being again, but something was definitely different as the air around him was slightly similar to Sheol,
He was no longer attached to those medical machines and the sounds of familiar people could be heard downstairs. he was happy and knew even though this was a brief encounter with them and was living two lives simultaneously.
he was still happy and took solace in the idea that he could still hold those he loved on earth even if it was just in a temporary state, and what more could he ask for, Ramiel knew he just needed to increase his energy level so he can stay in earth longer and start to have a normal life were when he sleeps here he was awake in the twelfth realm and vice versa,
As of now, this was his third attempt to walk in his real human body, and Ramiel understood that he was no longer the young, weak boy before he had a huge family to protect. While standing up from his old bed, he sat upright, gathered his thoughts, and contemplated how to manage his time correctly. He does not want to fall asleep in the middle of any task while he is in his human body.
He wanted to know if he could manifest magic or mana energy here. Ramiel knew he now needed to spend countless hours practicing his abilities and honing his skills in the hopes of harnessing magic in his human form.
He was determined to unlock this hidden potential and wield it to protect those he cared about. As he stepped onto the wooden floor, he felt a surge of anticipation and determination, ready to embark on this new chapter of his journey, but first of all, he was hungry and longed to hold his family.
at the same time, Amelia was preparing a healthy breakfast, and most of the Liu Chen personnel and close family friends were gathered at a very familiar place. The old, refurbished room was still the same, and as he opened his eyes, he saw the same ceiling and felt the same bed sheet on his skin. The smell of freshly baked pie was making him hungry, a small arm was hugging him, and a gentle snoring sound was breathing on his chest.
He carefully stood up and felt the floor as his feet touched the same wood when he was still young. He was now getting emotional, but he was too calculating and analytical to be overwhelmed. He took a deep breath, pushing aside his emotions momentarily, and focused on the task at hand. With each step he took, his mind raced with possibilities and strategies, mapping out the path to unlocking his latent magical abilities in this human body.
He wanted to know if the mana core was related to his physical body or to his actual soul and if tapping into its power would grant him a deeper connection to earth's own energy as he could feel it; it was different but was a mixture of nature energy and magic energy; maybe it came from those supernatural creatures that entered and roamed the planet and were killed; their residual magical essence started to mix with earth energy, creating a fused version of it.
This fused version of energy intrigued him, as it seemed to hold immense potential for his own abilities. He wondered if harnessing this power could unlock new levels of strength and mastery over both nature and magic. Curiosity consumed him as he walked toward the room door to finally end his hunger and anticipation to hug and greet his mother.
As he made his way towards the door, memories of his childhood flooded back, reminding him of the countless hours spent playing on this very floor. The familiar creaks and groans of the wood beneath his feet brought him a sense of comfort and nostalgia, grounding him in the present moment.
As he opened it and went out toward the same corridor, he walked with delight in his heart, as the sounds of those familiar voices were getting louder each step. Going down the staircase was like a symphony of love and familiarity. The laughter and chatter echoed through the halls, filling him with warmth and a deep sense of belonging. He couldn't wait to finally reunite with his mother and share in the joyous moments that awaited them both.
Everybody was gathered in the living room. Grandpa Tang was still sitting at his usual spot reading a book, while his teacher, Ms. Dolores Tesfaye, was talking with Dr YaXiu Fang, while Ms. Lin Siniang was smiling, while Ya Zuo was holding a two-year-old baby girl in his arms.
The elders and other people he knew were all preoccupied with catching up and exchanging stories among themselves , The room was filled with laughter and the sound of animated conversations, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
When Guan Yu came up to Ramiel, who was nearly the same height as his new father, he gave him a hug and greeted him.
"Nǐ hǎo, wǒ de érzi, děngle hěnjiǔle, dàn nǐ xiànzài huí dàole wǒmen de jiārén,"
"Hello, my son. it's been a long wait, but you are now back in our family."
Ramiel smiled and replied,
"Xièxiè nǐ, fùqīn. Wǒ hěn gāoxìng huí dàojiā."
"Thank you, father. I am very happy to be back home."
The joy in their reunion was evident as they embraced each other tightly, grateful for the long-awaited moment that had finally arrived.
