Was that sea behind the door?

Thump! Thump! Thump!

One impact after another came from the Bronze Gate, echoing in the Abyssal hall.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

It seemed that something was right behind the door, knocking incessantly, yearning to enter this world.

Luther narrowed his eyes slightly.

Deep within the dilapidated castle, in the dark underground, a sound suddenly came from behind the ancient gate... This eerie scene didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all; instead, it gave him a sense of... familiarity?

The thing behind the door seemed to be something he had seen before— Luther Ze had this inexplicable feeling.

He composed himself, continued walking towards the gate.

"Whoosh..."

As the distance between them shortened, the Phantom Tide gradually echoed in Luther's mind.

Thump! Thump!

Meanwhile, the sounds behind the door were getting louder and louder. Wait, something's not right...

Luther suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He suddenly noticed something unusual.

The knocking behind the door seemed to be synchronized with the sound of Tide in my mind!

Is it just my imagination?

Luther stood still, then deliberately controlled the Tide in his mind, suppressing its surge. To his surprise, the knocking behind the door also stopped.

It seems like it's really synchronized...

He refused to believe in superstitions, relaxed his control over the Tide, and intentionally let the Phantom Tide in his mind surge up wave after wave.

"Thump--Thump--"

The knocking on the Bronze Gate rang out again. And, when the Luther tide reached its peak, the gate before him would surely be knocked on—it was as if the Tide was crashing against the gate!

Surprise quickly crossed Luther's face, and a bold guess formed in his mind.

Could it be that what's locked behind this door is the very essence of that Tide? Before this, he was certain that the Tide was a real thing, but he didn't know exactly where it was located.

Later, due to the changes in the sea surface after advancing to Sequence 3, Luther speculated that the true form of the Tide might exist within the Astral World. But now it seems that it might be right here in reality, behind this door!

Perhaps its state is rather unusual, existing both in the Astral World and in reality, like the blurred boundary between the two... he pondered to himself.

Furthermore, Ankewelt, the "Dragon of Imagination," seems to offer some insight into the nature of gates.

The Phantom Tide holds an extremely high position and has a very deep relationship with the Creator of the City of Silver. The Ancient God, such as the "Dragon of Imagination," were defeated by this Creator. In the illusory Subconscious, He Bronze Gate beneath the Throne, expressing His Consciousness fear of it and His desire to seal it away.

--Because that Tide represents the authority of the Creator, Ankewelt is filled with fear of the Creator of the City of Silver!

This also seems to indirectly prove that what's behind is the Tide...

Luther gazed at the door in the darkness, a multitude of thoughts surging through his mind.

"Brush."

Just then, M's illusory figure appeared in the hall, a strong joy appearing on his usually gentle face.

"Very good!"

Her eyes, like molten gold, gleamed in the darkness, fixed intently on the ancient, mysterious Bronze Gate. "It actually exists in reality... Cecilia is saved!" "!!!"

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding directly in Luther's mind.

"What did you say?!"

He immediately turned his head, staring intently at M, his eyes turning ferocious.

If the other person dares to say they were joking, he will definitely make them suffer serious consequences!

"Cecilia can wake up now."

M's agitated emotions subsided slightly. Looking directly into Luther's eyes, she said with utmost sincerity, "This sea itself possesses powers such as 'Imagination' and 'Flesh.' If used properly, it can create a perfect body for Cecilia's soul!"

"Previously, it was because only your Spirituality could contact the Tide, and you couldn't mobilize its full power. Now it's right here. As long as Door Opening and let the Tide descend into reality, you can further control it and utilize its authority!"

Her golden eyes shone brighter than ever before, and her words were incredibly moving.

Luther's body trembled involuntarily.

He was like a traveler who had been lost in the darkness for a long time, suddenly seeing a light ahead, his heart filled with excitement.

M's words were indeed very tempting. Saving Cecilia was one of the main reasons he had been able to persevere until now. However, this path was far too arduous and too long. Even he often felt lost and pained, unsure when it would all end.

But who could have imagined that a shortcut would suddenly appear right in front of them?

"Huff... huff..."

Luther was breathing heavily. At that moment, the Bronze Gate in the darkness seemed as bright and alluring as a lighthouse in the dead of night to him.

He slowly stepped forward, as if if he could just reach the door and open it, everything would be alright... He was so tired, and he longed to see Cecilia one more time, to talk to her, to see her smiling face...

"Whoosh..."

Thump! Thump!

The sound of the Tide in his mind grew louder and louder, resonating with the knocking sound coming from behind the door, creating a moving melody.

In his Frenzy hallucination, all the soldiers ceased fighting and lined up on either side, creating a path for him. And at the end of that path, a large door awaited him.

M stood behind Luther, his eyes filled with satisfaction, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold and cruel smile where Lu Ze couldn't see.

Her smile didn't last long.

--Because Luther's steps suddenly stopped. Please remember the only website address for this novel: www. deqixs. org. The website owner has only this one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

He slowly turned his head, looking at M with Indifference gaze.

"Who are you?"

He asked the question calmly.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." M looked at him, confused. "I am your Virtual Personality. Why are you asking such useless questions? Just Door Opening and get Cecily out..."

You seem to be in a hurry.

Luther interrupted her, saying, "The M I know, no matter how urgent the situation, will maintain absolute calm with that stupid, deadpan expression."

What that guy just said was so tempting that he couldn't help but lose control. But after thinking about it for a moment, he realized something was wrong.

The guy in front of me is too agitated, which is completely inconsistent with my previous persona!

This guy isn't a masochist!

She wasn't after Cecilia at all; she just wanted to use me to get me to open the door!

The red-haired, golden-eyed woman stared at him coldly. "Go Door Opening!"

She let out a sharp, high-pitched howl, her eyes flashing with a captivating golden light.

"I refuse."

Luther said coldly, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Brush!"

A silvery-white metallic sheen flowed in his hand, like cold ice.
