Chapter 1055 Honeymoon
Despite Nithroel's suggestions, Michael had another risky plan in mind - to ally himself with Dagon, the ruler of hell. Why? Because Dagon held a deep-seated hatred for the pantheon, making him a potential ally against their common enemy.
"Do you have any worshippers in the realm of gods?" Gaya inquired.
Nithroel let out a heavy sigh in response. "It has been thousands of years since I set foot in the realm of gods. I doubt I still have any worshippers there. Even if they remained, it would be futile since I cannot hear their prayers. Other gods may have already poached them. Nevertheless, they might find some solace in serving my name," she explained.
The idea of amassing worshippers seemed to weigh heavily on Michael's mind after hearing Nithroel's words. While he had the assistance of the system to grow stronger, he recognized the importance of building his own worshippers for the future.
"Is there anything else you can tell me about the pantheon?" Michael inquired.
As Michael inquired about the pantheon, Nithroel warned him, "They are like the Skyhall of the realm of gods, overseeing and controlling everything. Any god who dares to defy them will face severe consequences. Trust me when I say this, you don't want to be on the bad side of the pantheon."
"But whatever you do, stay away from gods like Rudra. They don't come out of their kingdoms often, but when they do, only death and destruction will follow them," Nithroel's warning about Rudra, the God of War, echoed in Michael's mind.
He knew firsthand the destructive power of Rudra, as a mere orc possessed by a fragment of his strength had overwhelmed him in battle. The memory of that defeat fueled a deep desire for vengeance against the War God. However, Michael chose to remain silent for now, knowing that facing Rudra would require careful planning and immense power. He understood the gravity of Nithroel's words and the need to tread cautiously in the realm of gods, especially when dealing with beings of such immense strength and ruthlessness.
Throughout their conversation, Nithroel shared valuable insights about the realm of gods and offered suggestions on how to navigate it once Michael arrived there. After bidding farewell to the couple, Nithroel left them alone.
With their preparations complete, Michael and Gaya set off for the Celestial Gardens, a hidden pocket dimension accessible only to those with knowledge of its existence. Nestled above Nagaland, the gardens remained invisible to the people, serving as a perfect getaway for the couple.
"Let's go," Michael said, surprising Gaya with his sudden decision.
"What now?" she asked.
"Let's leave now. I fear something might come up if we stay here any longer. So I am taking my lovely wife with me," Michael said with a mischievous smile as he swooped Gaya into his arms.
"To the honeymoon you truly deserve," he added, his eyes reflecting affection and passion for his beloved wife.
Without wasting a second in the safehouse, Michael and Gaya teleported themselves to the nearest runic teleportation spot near Nagaland. As they ascended through the clouds, they swiftly changed their armor to disguise themselves from any prying eyes.
Gaya, her heart brimming with excitement and anticipation, couldn't help but share her carefully crafted plans for their honeymoon. "Michael, you won't believe the places I've researched for our honeymoon! The Celestial Gardens will be the perfect starting point for our journey. It's said to be a realm of unimaginable beauty, filled with enchanting flora and fauna, and captivating landscapes that will leave us in awe."
As they flew closer to the opening of the pocket dimension leading to the Celestial Gardens, Gaya's voice turned slightly melancholic. "I can't believe we only have a week together before you must venture to the realm of gods. I wish you could stay with me longer."
Michael gently squeezed her hand and spoke tenderly, "I wish I could too. But dealing with the pantheon and growing stronger is crucial for our future together. I promise, once I return, we'll have all the time in the world to be together."
While Michael and Gaya soared through the sky, a breathtaking panorama unfolded before them. Fluffy, cotton-like clouds floated gently beneath their feet, casting shadows on the land below. The warm rays of the sun bathed them in a golden glow, while the vast expanse of the blue sky stretched endlessly above, dotted with wisps of white. The wind embraced them like a gentle caress, carrying their laughter and whispers through the open air.
As Michael and Gaya approached the distortion in space, Gaya's excitement grew. She gestured for him to stop, and as they hovered in the empty sky, she produced a peculiar snake-shaped key from her space ring. To Michael's surprise, the key floated in mid-air before them.
"A key to the celestial gardens? I didn't know you had it," Michael said, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"I didn't. Mom gave it to me last week," Gaya beamed with joy.
