Millennium Tension

Chapter 157: Mysterious Valley Void Area

Twin steep snow mountains with high cliffs, they needed to pass through it to continue heading west.

"The temperature in this snow valley is different from the area outside, 15 degrees Celsius lower, and it will continue to fall the further we enter this valley." Aizen gave a brief statement as they entered the valley of snow between the twin mountains.

"Now it's minus 35 degrees, 36 degrees, keep going down... Ana, fairy squad, slow down, don't continue racing. There's something wrong here." Axel spoke softly, but it was conveyed to the girls in front.

All of them slowed their pace and waited for Aizen and Axel to catch up with them. This snow valley was indeed strange and so calm, the temperature was getting colder, and the aura emitted became unnatural.

What made them feel the most uncomfortable was that the zone they entered could not be detected by the [Axel Goddess] who was hovering far above them. It was just an ordinary valley of snow between two twin mountains with steep cliffs.

"What's happening here... This aura is unnatural... I don't like this silence... Shall we just turn around? I'm afraid to pass through this valley." With a scared expression, Ana suggested based on her fear instincts.

"Wait a moment, the energy waves emitted from this aura are unnatural. There must be something here... We are in the far northern zone, an area of the world devoid of cultivators..." Aizen muttered while checking the system. He used all of the [Axel Goddess] sensors to probe deeper into this area.

What they got was nil, but when the [Axel Goddess] traversed the area far ahead, right in the valley it was empty. Absolutely empty, nothing, and nothing to detect, not even any particles. It was as if the remote area were a stranded void.

"What is this? I found an area that couldn't be scanned, there was nothing there as if it was an empty void. Maybe it was the cause of the unnatural things in this valley. The mysterious valley?" Aizen looked ahead as he made some deliberations.

"Mysterious, the void, empty, invisible, and unnatural... This valley of ghosts?" Axel also looked far ahead.

Their advanced eye visibility was limited and could not see further than 1 kilometer from their position due to a strange, hazy aura of cold that was getting thicker in this valley.

"What! Ghost, no." Ana immediately got off her snowmobile and climbed onto Aizen's, she hugged him tightly from behind.

"Naughty, this isn't a valley of ghosts... Don't be afraid Ana. It's just a mysterious valley, maybe something is there. Maybe it's like a hidden realm that blends into the world." Aizen lightly pinched the waist of the girl who was still in his arms, then clapped Ana's hand softly.

"Not a valley of ghosts? Nothing scary, a thing that has the only purpose of scaring people, right?" Ana whined softly.

"Yes, nothing. It's only in horror films. Real ghosts, their goal is not to scare people. Rather they are just living, they basically have no form. Everything you imagine in your fear, they only use it for some mischief. " Aizen spoke softly and slowly.

"Really? Then, all those who have haunted me in the past, are nothing more than their mischief and fear in my mind?" Ana rested her head on Aizen's shoulder.

"Yes, no need to think about it. Everything that ever haunts you has gone to the afterlife, don't be afraid." Aizen sighed, neither did he want to think far back into the past.

Ana felt guilty about the cruel experimentation she had done, she seemed crazy but she was still conscious and sane. It was all in the past, things that were far away in the past, and they were no longer attached to the bad things that had happened.

In the past, Ana only pretended to be scared because of horror films to get more attention from Aizen, she really liked that. However, from that time and now, she was really scared.

Aizen beckoned Axel, the latter nodded then moved from the warm hug to swap positions with Ana.

"It's fine, don't be afraid." Aizen helped Ana sit in the front and hugged her, then kissed her forehead.

"Un, I'm not afraid anymore." Ana nodded with a faint smile and buried her face in Aizen's chest.

"We're going to check over there?" Axel sat in the back seat and embraced Aizen's waist.

"Of course, there might be something interesting there. Err... This is the snowmobile for a maximum of two people, we are now riding with three..." Aizen was a little overwhelmed. Usually one at a time, but now two... What happened to these two clingy girls today?

"I know, I don't take up space. For two, that's for two large adults. Sister Ana and I only counted half. So now we fit in two and there's still a little bit of unused space." Axel answered logically for compelling reasons. She pointed to the part of the seat that was not occupied with a length of 4 centimeters behind her.

"Well, alright..." Aizen smiled softly with a little amusement.

He immediately put the snowmobile Ana was wearing into the [Robot Space], then invited the fairy squad to continue their journey into the valley.

"Hmm... This place is really nothing different from other snow lands. However, this place is void from any detection, only a snow area with a diameter of one kilometer... Where is the strange and unique thing in this mysterious place?" Aizen looked here and there to find the clue when they reached the void area.

The detection abilities of the Axel Goddess didn't help and the detection abilities of their own bodies didn't respond to anything strange. It was really like a puzzle without a clue.

"We have entered the center of the valley and the center between these two twin mountains. Light intensity is 3 lux, the temperature has become minus 95 degrees Celsius. This place feels gloomy and very quiet." Axel also looked around them, but no clues were found.

Ana also looked around them, she was not afraid anymore. Five girls from the fairy squad were also looking for any sign that might help.

Gamma and her four sisters went here and there, but also found nothing. They reunited with their masters in the center of the mysterious void area.

"There is nothing strange that we can find any clues to, Master Aizen. This area is simply a valley between two steep mountains of snow." Gamma reported while shaking her head slowly.

"Hum, I think so too. All of us don't find anything odd apart from strange sensor detection only in this area. Our body detection ability is also limited to one kilometer around us. I refuse to believe, if nothing strange is going on here, there must be something. Something, but what is it... "Aizen put his hand to his chin as he tried to solve the mystery without any clues.

"Is it possible that it's beneath us? Maybe there are some ruins buried deep... Only the snow we can see, there is no land like soil or rocks." Ana put a hand to her cheek and made a guess.

"Underground? Under this deep pile of snow and ice? It's possible! Ana, your advice is brilliant." Aizen kissed Ana's cheek and hugged her tightly.

"Hehe... Glad to help... We're going to dig down there?" Ana giggled happily.

"Of course, the curiosity we will suffer if we don't find out this strange thing will make it difficult for us to sleep well. If it's too dangerous, we can leave this area, but if not, we'll explore further." Aizen nodded lightly while taking care of the units to be deployed.

A hundred versatile mecha units at the [Rank 5] level immediately appeared around them, they were the same unit as the automatic mecha units used in the massacre of Jin Jun's immortal army in Spring Root City.

"Let's get away from here, anything can happen. Let them carry out their mission."

"Roger!"

Aizen and the girls quickly moved away from there, out of an area unreachable by any scan or detection sensor. After they exited the void area, 3 kilometers from the center of the place, 100 [Rank 5] automatic mechas immediately carried out their mission.

The 100 mecha formed a perfect circle formation, then a circular rune immediately appeared between them and formed a large rune in the middle. Next, a rune formation activated to scorch the ice beneath the rune circle.

*SSssshhhhh!*

The ice quickly melted and formed a deep hole, but it had not yet reached the bottom other than the snow. 100 mecha down to the bottom and repeat the same method four times until they get to the bottom. It was no longer ice or snow, but a very hard flat rock.

"Ah, we've reached the bottom of this mysterious valley void area, that flat rock is so unnatural to be far down there... It's like an asteroid rock but it's not. Em, is that the wall of an ancient ruin?" Ana muttered lightly, she accessed the system to see what one of the [Rank 5] mecha saw.

"Let's try to break the wall, and see what's behind it." Aizen gave his statement, and the girls nodded in agreement, curious about what was there.
