Chereads / Rise of Cronus Empyrean / Chapter 10 - Welcome to Elysium

Chapter 10 - Welcome to Elysium

After Jason shared his status screen with the ladies, they started reading it with dumbfounded expressions. And the more they read, the more faces they made which was a source of amusement for Jason.

After they finished reading, they looked at Jason with bewilderment. There was a long moment of silence before Jason broke it:

"So, what do guys think?"

"Jason, what's this divine realm in your soul?" Rose asked with confused expression.

"Mmm, I don't know, let me check." Jason replied with a thoughtful expression.

He closed his eyes & concentrated on his soul. He felt the eternal divine seed & his core inside. There was no movement near the seed & essence inside it was just calm but Jason noticed his core was working in full gear.

There was a large amount of divine essence being produced and Jason didn't know where it was going. So, he concentrated on the destination of a newly formed batch of essence and he found a tiny spot hidden deep within his soul.

He sent his consciousness into that tiny round glob and observed that there was a Universe inside with bright shining Galaxies. He felt an odd connection to this place like everything here was part of him, which oddly it was.

He concentrated on the outer cluster of galaxies and found that planets were still forming there. So, he concentrated on the essence that was formed just a moments ago & found his consciousness drifting off towards the center of the galactic cluster.

He found his consciousness near a galaxy that was shining brightly with golden, white, silver & purple colors. He felt a strong pull towards the center, so he went there. He came near a few hundred planets in various solar systems which had a little bit of his divinity in their atmosphere.

But he found himself looking at the planet which was at the center of all this. So, his consciousness drifted towards it. When he came near it, he found a breathtaking picture of a planet whose radius was probably a couple thousand times more than that of earth's, with 23 moons revolving around it.

His consciousness went inside the planet and he felt peace, calm & serenity. The view in this world had heavenly large mountains, waterfalls, huge lakes, seas, enchanting shiny plant life. The air was extremely clean & pure and sparking with golden-white-silver colors.

There were various kinds of energies in the atmosphere that made the place look like a beautiful symphony of creation. There was only one thought in Jason's mind: "this is heaven". And so he named this planet "Elysium".

After a few minutes of observing Elysium, he looked at the process by which his soul maintained this universe in his soul and found out there was no energy requirement for maintaining it. It was completely stable on its own and the subconscious level his of soul was working to add his divinity to more and more planets.

'Hmm, I should keep the fact that I have a whole universe inside of me a secret for now' he thought.

When he opened his eyes, he found four of them staring at him intently.

"Well?" Eliana asked.

"Yeah I've got a huge place inside my soul." Jason replied

"Well, it's kind of obvious when I look into your eyes. The way they are sparkling with stars and galactic shapes, it makes sense." Eir replied.

"How?" Ishtar asked

"Eyes are window to the soul." Rose replied with a chuckle.

"Well, that's interesting and all but do have any idea how we can go back to our family or if they are in this world or the so called tutorial world?" Eliana asked with impatience.

"I'm sorry I don't know and I also don't know how to get in contact with my Mom & my sis when they come back from tutorial world." He replied and everyone's expressions soured with worry.

"You can't lose faith, this is our new reality and we have to make the most of it. I know you guys are worried about your families but you have got to concentrate on surviving this ordeal first and getting stronger. Because this world will be ruled by people with strength."- He continued

"Will you help us?" Rose asked with a concerned look.

"I'll be there for you guys but you'll have to gain strength for your own sake for when I'm unable to be there for you." I replied gently.

There was a silence for a couple of minutes but it was broken by Eliana who asked:

"So when are we suppose to get a tour of your world Sir Cronus?"

"Hmm, Sir doesn't sound too good, try Lord Cronus then I'll consider it." Jason teased.

To which her reply was throwing her jacket at Jason but he caught it. Then he asked:

"Seriously, do you want to visit the place?"

"Sure" they replied.

So Jason got close to them & they looked perfect as ever. He put his hand on Rose's head and activated his ability to grant her soul a key & repeated a process with all them.

"It feels tingly inside" Rose spoke

"Yeah" Eir added

And he told them how to use that key to enter Elysium. But there was a huge problem in the sense that they couldn't use cosmic energy, soul energy or any kind of magic stuff. So, he thought for a workaround and tried to feel the permission he had given to them in their souls.

Once he got a feel for the keys, he used the keys to summon them to his favorite place inside Elysium. Their vision blurred and the space twisted around them and they found themselves inside a beautiful heavenly scenery.

They felt peace and serenity as they looked around the scenery. Rose walked to a nearby beautiful long purple flower & smelled it. A wide grin appeared on her face and she plucked it. Others also started to look around.

"God this place is beyond amazing" Rose said with excitement of a young kid.

"Thanks for the compliment." Jason's consciousness replied with a deep voice that held the will of the universe.

The ladies were startled for a bit but shrugged it off and started looking around.

"This is heaven, I wish I could stay and live here forever." Ishtar spoke with a smile

"You are always welcome here." he replied in deep Godly voice.

"Thank you for your generosity Lord Cronus." she replied with genuine expression.

"Anytime" he replied.

Jason was now sitting and started meditating deeply & cultivating his body with divine essence while girls were goofing around in Elysium. They tasted various fruits, smelled various flowers while exploring the place.

And just like that, it was nighttime in Elysium and in real world. The tapestry of night sky in Elysium was a sight to behold with bright shining stars, 23 moons in the sky, cosmic clouds in the space that made the night look anything but dark.

It was truly a serene night in heaven.
