Strongest Grimoire Of The Gods

"Huh?" The old man exclaimed, slightly perplexed at Tyr's words.

"Strongest flame you say? Pahaha!" He laughed his ass off. "Im a criminal of past who hasn't seen the real world in decades... but even I know that there is no such thing as the strongest flame... atleast not here in the mortal realms. Ice, on the other hand, has been stolen from the Gods by our own Ice Pillar, one of the five pillars of Ovalantis.

Atleast, thats what people say due to its immense ability."

Tyr sucked in a bunch of air as his mouth began to glow a bright orange.

"He's about to do that move," Hanzo exclaimed at that moment, "Everyone back up!"

Heeding his words, the other's quickly retreated from the bars.

The old man's eyes darted around with shock, 'Even if they are bluffing, I won't take any chances.'

He looked down at a giant red button on his control panel.

'I've never had to use this... and I don't want to because its only a one time use thing...' He was still contemplating it, 'Ugh...' He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

'If I use it, I will kill all of them and be free to torture others until the end of my days... but if I don't, I may be killed.' He simply couldn't risk such a thing.

Without much more delay, he pressed the button. 'Ice Pillar's true power is held within it... one real attack from him has been placed inside of this button, which triggers an Aura Array to blast a gust of ice so powerful that no flame can withstand it...'

Tyr's scaly chest expanded, glowing in a bright orange color as well.

His eyes widened, 'Flame Breath!' He said inwardly before unleashing all the air in his lungs.

*BOOM*

A giant blast of fury raged from his mouth, obliterating right through the ice bars as if they were butter.

Hanzo and the other's shielded their eyes for a split second, but upon seeing just how destructive the attack was to this supposed 'strongest ice,' they couldn't help but smirk slightly.

"Damn... that bastard has really attained the power of a dragon's fire." Hanzo said under his breath, chuckling.

"DAMN YOU!" The old man screamed through the speakers as a block of ice on the other side of Tyr's cell opened up.

Inside was a cannon made of thick blue ice. Before Tyr's flame breath could reach it, it charged up with a sharp noise before unleashing a blast of its own.

A deep, rich blue Ice energy exploded out and stormed toward Tyr's flame like a rampaging behemoth.

Everyone's smiling expressions disappeared as they noticed this immense attack.

They could sense an immense Aura simply oozing out of it, as if it was cast by a War General.

Tyr furrowed his brows, unrelenting in his attack. With a determined set of eyes, he exhaled even harder and allowed his flame to surge forth.

The two powers clashed in the middle with a giant explosion, sending a shockwave that thrust every back and into the walls of the chamber.

Only Tyr stood straight, his expression and posture not having changed one bit.

After only half a second of clashing with the ice, his flame breath penetrated straight through it as if it was an iron bar piercing through water, dispelling it to the sides with ease.

The old man was blown away with shock as he saw this, 'How in the...' He looked down at the button, 'You scammed me... this is no attack of a pillar.'

With those final thoughts, he looked back up to see an explosion of flame knocking on his window.

*BOOM*

The window was blasted right open, destroying everything inside.

Tyr stopped his breath, panting slightly as that took every bit of his Aura.

'Damn... I should have conserved it a bit more. I'm still new to using Aura it seems. It's not like I get many opportunities to use Reverse.'

He jumped out of his cell, right over the melted ice bars.

"Let's find a way to get out of here." He said to everyone else as they made their way out of the cells as well.

"Not so fast!" A voice came through the speakers: "You think you can escape? Just try it... see what happens. You will never escape here... and I will die to uphold that promise. Hehehahah!"

Tyr looked up at the ceiling with an annoyed expression, "He's like a cockroach... unkillable."

Hanzo walked forward, "Let's forget about him for a moment. I imagine that body of his from a second ago must have been an animatronic or a clone. But this place... it seems much more important than what he was saying it was for."

After a short pause, Noa added: "All the advanced machinery... and one of the pillars themselves cooperating to create this place. Surely it isn't just for some criminal to run all by himself."

"Come to think of it," Malon exclaimed, "I remembered hearing about Ovalantis' Transportation Terminal being encased inside of a castle of Ice..."

Hanzo nodded, "Yeah, thats what I heard too. And it would explain the crazy defenses of the place."

Tyr seemed a bit thrown off by this, "Wait... what is that again?"

"A Transportation Terminal?" Malon quipped, and after Tyr nodded, he answered: "Each developed kingdom has atleast one of them. You can consider them train stations, except, the trains are space crafts and the various stations are placed on different planets."

"Huh!?" Tyr wasn't expecting that whatsoever, "Wait... but I thought that the Solar Tree was the thing that allowed you to transport between planets, no?"

Malon stammered slightly, "Well... here, let me explain it for you in simple terms. Transportation Terminals teleport you to a universal Transportation Lobby that all terminals across the planet are connected to. There, you can access the Solar Tree and go to other planets."

"I see..."

The group had left the cell room they were in by now, and had been walking along the wide halls of the area.

Suddenly, they came across a giant room to their right.

"Oh? What's this." Tyr said, being the first to step in.

"Hold up!" Hanzo exclaimed as he followed the crew inside, "Lets not just mindlessly waltz into area's. There are unknown dangers in here."

As soon as Tyr stepped inside, the large chamber of ice was gone. It seemed to only be a visual illusion.

Now, what he saw was a room made of metal. Large and small iron pipes went everywhere, and various machinery seemed to be pumping chemicals throughout.

"What is this?" Noa exclaimed with surprise as she looked around.

"Woah..." Tyr said under his breath, noticing the multiple portal-like objects at the very back of the chamber--surrounded with unimaginable machinery that seemed to stabilize them.

"No way..." Hanzo said as he approached Tyr, his face in awe while looking at the portals.

"World Portals... they open up on their own and allow you to travel between realms. It seems Ovalantis has found a way to create them from scratch."
