Chapter 187: The Trial Period

Allen paced around the room. He was nervous as to what might happen to them now. He still haven't figured out what Roger Huntsman wanted and now another threat had emerged.

The door opened, snapping Allen from his thoughts. When he saw Remy come in he shook his head and continued to walk around the room.

"What's up with him?" Remy asked.

"We're still waiting for Sebastian," Jack replied. "When he comes, these two will explain everything. Right?"

"That's right," Ash said. "We wanted to tell it to everyone that Allen knows all at once so we don't have to repeat ourselves."

They waited for a couple more minutes until their awaited person finally arrived. Sebastian entered the room with Bernard trailing behind him. He sat on the large throne-like seat and sighed. "Is this about the Serratas?"

"It's better if we show you," Corry said. He kneeled on the ground and placed both his palms there. "Let's start two hundred years ago."

Everything suddenly went pitch black. Then, planets started to emerge. Corry zoomed into one of the planets and showed him and Ash smiling at each other. "Let me tell you what happened to our planet, Yrrigard."

Yrrigard was a planet outside of Milky Way galaxy. In each galaxy, there would be at least three planets that life could be formed and be sustained. Yrrigard was one of those.

When they were only a younger planet and the civilization just entered a new revolution with technology slowly getting more and more advanced, the portals started to appear. The Yrrigardians were panicked, just like what happened to Earth.

It was then that the exact same thing happened to Earth. Hunters explored the portals, twelve people with Codes that have greater powers than all others stood out. The corrupt leadership was being swallowed by greed and money that they didn't see what was going to happen in the future.

Leo, the chairman of the Yrrigard's Hunters organization, continued to loot the Otherworlds and stopped at the fifth world, God's Den. He exploited the world until it almost ran out of resources.

And Yrrigard bloomed. The planet, the economy, and the overall welfare of their inhabitants became better. Until the final year of the Otherworlds' trial started. The planet was swallowed by the Otherworlds.

The portals became vacuums, sucking out everything in its path. The portals transfered the energy from the planets into the Otherworlds, making the energy into one big power for it to reset and start again.

The ones who were left were placed in a floating island in space, an island that revolves around the cluster of planets that the Otherworlds was. These islands were invisible to the Eartheners and even the Serratas, they are the ones who survived their planets.

"And the other Zodiacs wants us to intefere with all the other planets," Ash said. "The Gods did not do this. Instead, the Gods maintained the order of the Celestums, making sure that no one has two."

"That's right," Allen agreed. "One of them came to me and warned me about it. They said that they wouldn't hesitate to launch an all out attack if I don't let go of one of my Celestums."

Bernard hummed, "But can't these Gods stop the Zodiacs?"

Both Corry and Ash shook their heads with Corry answering, "The will of the Gods are to regulate the wielder of the Celestums, they are not responsible for other conflicts."

"But they can stop the Zodiacs, right?" Allen asked. "If we could somehow convince these Gods to work with us, we may be able to save us and then try to solve the case of Roger Huntsman altogether!"

"We tried countless times for the Gods to help, but it is impossible," Ash said. "They are firm on their beliefs, and they do not want to interfere with any problem that thr current host of the Otherworlds are facing."

"What about the Lycans that you told us about?" Sebastian asked Allen. "Maybe they can help us if not stop the Zodiacs, at least they could help us finish the trial period."

"The fate of our planet lies in our hands now," Remy said. "I want to call the others so bad, but we still don't know who Roger Huntsman is. It could really be one of us."

"We can help you finish this trial," Corry said, looking at his sister. "Ash and I are good combatants and we can get Codes and let you burn them. But we have our own restrictions."

"What are those?" Allen asked.

"One is that we are not allowed have a Code from any beast in this trial period," Ash said. "This means that whatever Code we can acquire, it must be through trading. The Codes of the beasts here does not match the Codes that we have. That was why Dante had Codes no one saw before."

"The Second one was that we can't fight humans from other planets," Corry said. "You saw how we killed Sagitarrius, that was because she's from Yrrigard too. But humans here are off limits. If we hurt one, we would be penalized by having our bodies felt like being torn with a hundred winds blowing in different directions. This could potentially kill us."

Sebastian quirked his brow up, "I assume the third one is the worst. What is it?"

"We can't help you past God's Den," both Corry and Ash chorused.

Corry cleared his throat, "After the fifth world, God's Den, the last world has one single creature. This creature will be the boss of all beasts. We also suspect that this was the heart of the Otherworlds. Once you defeat it, we don't know what happens."

"But this being said," Ash added. "You have to be at least a hundred times stronger than where you are now. The Gods were the first to start their trial and they are already strong, but they couldn't beat the final beast. You Eartheners have to be stronger if you want to save your planet."

"And how do we get stronger?" Allen asked. "I don't"

"Get more Celestums," Ash cut him off before Allen could even finish. "If you master five Celestums at once, even the Gods can't touch you."
