Chapter 8: Chapter 8: The Shocking Truth Behind the Fall of the Elkar
After returning from Planet Galitar, Adam's mind was preoccupied with what he had learned about the Elkar civilization and their mysterious legacy. The information he had obtained was just the beginning, and he felt that the truth behind the fall of that great civilization might be more complicated than it seemed.
While Adam was in the Spirit Room, preparing for the next step in his journey, a new notification appeared on the system interface.
System:
- "The final location of the Elkar legacy has been determined."
- "Coordinates: Planet Zeron at the edge of the Seventh Universe."
- "New mission: Complete the exploration of the Elkar legacy and discover the secret of their fall."
"Zeron? Interesting name." Adam said as he pondered his next move.
Using advanced teleportation technology, Adam arrived at Planet Zeron. This planet was unlike any he had ever visited before. The sky there was gloomy, and the ground was covered in huge black crystals that radiated a strange energy.
"This place… looks like it witnessed a horrific event." Adam muttered as he looked around.
As he advanced, he began to feel that the energy of the place held memories of the past, as if the Earth itself was telling an ancient story filled with suffering.
In the center of the planet, Adam found a huge temple-like structure. When he entered, he encountered a strange entity that resembled humans but with towering height and glowing eyes.
"Welcome, traveler." The entity said in a deep voice.
"Who are you?" Adam asked.
"I am Elios, the last guardian of the Elkar legacy. I have been waiting for you."
"Waiting for me? Why?"
"Because you are the chosen one to protect the legacy and prevent the same catastrophe that destroyed our civilization."
Elios sat down and began to tell the story.
"Billions of years ago, the Elkar were a great civilization that possessed the immense power of cosmic energy. We used it to create balance in the universe and help the planets evolve. But one day, a threat appeared that we were not prepared for."
Adam: "What is this threat?"
Elios: "The former God of Destruction of the Seventh Universe."
Adam was surprised and asked: "The God of Destruction? What did he do?"
"His name was Zeral, and he had a horrific philosophy. Instead of destroying planets to maintain balance, he would plant negative emotions in the hearts of their inhabitants. He would go to planets and announce his intention to destroy them, planting terror, anger, and despair in everyone's hearts. Those negative emotions fueled him and made him stronger."
Adam: "This… this is crazy."
"When we confronted him, we realized he was using that dark energy to destroy us. We were close to finding a way to stop him, but it wasn't enough. In the end, the High Priest himself intervened and sealed Zeral in a dark dimension. But…"
Adam: "But what?"
"There are people trying to free him. I've discovered that some of them have started to move again.
Ilios took Adam to a room inside the temple that contained a huge energy ball.
"This ball contains the last part of the Elkar legacy. When you absorb it, you will be able to access their full power and knowledge. But be careful, this comes with great responsibility."
"I am ready." Adam said firmly.
He placed his hand on the sphere and felt a massive surge of energy and information flow into his body. He saw visions of the recent battles between Elkar and Ziral, and the sacrifice they made to protect the universe.
System: "Elkar's legacy is complete. Data uploaded 100%."
Adam returned to Earth to prepare himself. He used the Spirit Room to increase his strength and develop his skills. He knew that the upcoming confrontation would not be easy, but Elkar's legacy gave him the strength and tools he needed to face this threat.
"Ziral… I will not let you go back." Adam said confidently. As he looked up at the sky
