Chapter 2 - Asteroid

"Okay. But there is one more thing to keep in mind. And that is to never give up on your patience. You have to persevere in patience. Only then will you be successful. You have to align the random star-like designs on the cover of this book."

Markari was surprised.

"How is that possible? The pattern on the top of this book is all messed up. And it's not a living star. So how do I get them to line up."

Zeus heard Markari's words and opened his mouth to show his big teeth.  But he didn't smile. Because he remembered something earlier.

"Listen to me fully first. You will press this book with your right hand against the top cover of the book without touching it with both hands. The book will vibrate violently while pressing. But even with that vibration you must hold the book with your hand. Until then you have to press and hold until the designs on the book become a complete star. At that time the hand cannot be removed from the book under any circumstances. And when it becomes a complete star, a ray of light will come out of it. And then you will understand when it's time to open the book cover."

Markari smiled a little.  He thought to himself, this is an easy task.  I can do it in a moment. Just as he was about to put his hand on the cover, Zeus magically froze his hand.  He could no longer move his hand forward.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to open the top cover of this book."

Zeus roared in anger.  But this time his roar did not change the direction of the asteroids.  No one even got hurt.

"Do not consider this book to be a small book. It is composed of the energies of numerous devils like us. It contains both positive and negative energies. Therefore, the book must be used carefully."

"Oh! I didn't know. Forgive me."

"Okay. From now on, don't try to do anything quickly. Whatever object is in front of you, try to understand it first. Try to know its power."

"Okay. So when can I open this book?"

"The moment the moon shines, you must begin your work. That is, press the book with the right hand. And when the star pieces in the design are lined up with great pressure, the rays of light and the rays of the moon must meet from them. And then  the cover of the book will open itself the moment you meet."

Markari stored these important words in his head.

"I understand that. But what is inside this book?"

"Inside this book, there are ways to get that infinite power through several symbols. You have to find the reservoir of infinite power only by solving the mystery of those symbols."

"But…  ."

Before Markari could speak, Zeus disappeared from the place and moved away.

Markari was a bit surprised.  There are still many questions inside his mind that he feels he should know the answers to.  But without saying anything, his father, the Devil King Zeus, left.

After a while he remembered that his father had told him 575 years ago that devils have a rule.  Two demonic forces cannot coexist for long. If they stay together for more than a certain period of time, the homogeneous energy within them will knock them down and go to a lower world.  And can't come back with full power from there.

His chest trembled at the thought of going to the nether world.

"Anyway, I got the book to gain infinite power. Now nothing can stop me from gaining infinite power."

Suddenly the darkness started to come around.  The distant clouds thickened and approached him.  He could guess everything.

"It is not right for me to stay here any longer. My desired time has come. I must go to the front of the moon and begin my work when it shines to illuminate this darkness."

He did as he thought.  He did not delay another moment.

He took that very old black book and left for the hill of the moon.  On which the oblique rays of the moon fall.

He started flying like a speeding vehicle.  He thought as he went, if I want to reach that place before time, I have to go at the speed of light instead of the speed of sound.  Only then can I reach this long distance.

He gently pressed the thumb of his right hand to her forehead.  This awakened a strange power inside his body and increased his speed several hundred times.

He moved all the asteroids that were blocking his path with a flick of his hand.  The asteroids hit other planets and asteroids. There was a loud explosion. And as a result of that explosion, big flames came out in that place.  The impact of one of the other asteroids also caused damage to the other asteroids. These things Markari saw with his wide eyes. But still he did not change his pace.

He did not even think that damaging the planets and asteroids in this way would cause great chaos in the universe.  If the universe is destroyed, over whom will he establish his reign? All these things did not come to his mind.

His only thought now is that he must reach the Mountain of the Moon in time and find the source of power from within this black book.

After a few moments of running he found his desired destination, the Hill of the Moon.  Even from there it would take him a few moments to reach the top of the mountain of the moon even at the speed of light.  And that time will come soon. So he has to go faster.

He used all the strength in his body and started running at a very fast speed.  Its speed increased to such an extent that a kind of frenzy began in space. A heavy storm was created.  Small asteroids in front of that storm started flying like cotton.

Finally he arrived.  He first stepped on the mountain of the moon.  He had never climbed this hill before.

The distance between the Moon and the Moon Hills is 1.5 light years.  Yet this hill is called the Hill of the Moon. Because in this space there are mountains that look as white as the moon.  And this mountain is illuminated by the light of the moon. The first slanting rays of the moon fall on this mountain. Hence it is called the hill of the moon.

Markari did not understand why his father, the Devil King Zeus, asked him to come to this mountain.  He can open this book anywhere else.

Of course he doesn't understand.  Because his father's age is up to 1000 million years and his age is 770.5 million years.  Among the devils, only those who reach the age of 1000 million gain full power as devils. Appearance is according to the devil.  There are large horns, teeth and a vicious appearance. Since he is young, he has no way of understanding the mystery of this mountain.

Markari's red eyes widened as he gazed up at the moon.
