The moment Azrael was pulled beyond the entrance, he was stunned to realize that his 'Blue Devil Spear' had disappeared from his hand, as if this was never in his hand. Although the entrance appeared dilapidated and on the verge of ruin from the outside, it looked truly majestic from within. He was amazed to see that beyond the entrance, he arrived in an entirely new world. Everywhere he looked, was filled with dark blue colored waters, as if hundreds of rivers and waterfalls gathered in one place. Such huge amount of waters in one place made him most fascinated. It was the first time for him to see ocean, as in the city there were no traces of ocean. His thoughts were also becoming diluted like water in that world. He couldn't believe in his eyes. As he looked bottom of the waters, he noticed that area was covered with dense sands and sand dunes. Witnessing such magnificent artistry, he became more fascinated and decided to explore much deeper. As water couldn't touch him, he gradually began to walk through the water.
On the other hand, by then, Miss Sunflower arrived in that mountain forest. While searching to and fro, behind a pine tree, she found Azrael's numb body. Next to him, the spear was lying dully. But surprisingly, she couldn't see anything in that place, as if the entrance had already become invisible before she arrived.
Firstly, without thinking anything else, she swiftly picked the spear up. The spear didn't show any resistant against her. Seeing that, she guessed something but wasn't so sure about that. So, she didn't think more and instantly grabbed the spear. Then she uttered carefully,
"Evolution Technique... Fertility... Activate..."
The moment she completed her chantings, immediately her aura skyrocketed at a terrifying speed. Throughout the mountain forest, not any plants and trees could bear such tremendous pressure. As a result of her evolution technique, the surroundings all plants started mutating rapidly into multiple lively creatures. Those creatures had eyes, mouth, and ears. Although they became such mutated creatures, they still carried their botanical traits. Also with that technique, she could smoothly control how her fertilized children would materialize, form, and develop. Moreover, if she wanted, she could also revive them into their previous self. However, it was not just limited to plants. Under this technique's influences, any living or nonliving beings could transform into her children. With that, they completely lost resistance against her and automatically obeyed her each command. However, at her current stage, she couldn't perform that technique to it's full potential.
After those surroundings plants transformed into mutated creatures as her children, they bowed down before her to get her command. However, still the spear didn't show any resistance and simply remained dull on her palm. Seeing that, she realized her guess was correct. The mysterious existence inside the spear was too much powerful that her such tremendous dominant aura couldn't affect the spear at all. So, she hit upon a plan.
Firstly, she put a seal on the spear, so that it couldn't disturb her plan in future. After that, she commanded her children to find the truth of what had happened just before she came there. Even those plants also couldn't feel any changes when that entrance had appeared.
However, after examining intricately the changes in the weather and the temperature at the surroundings, her children slowly felt some irregularities in one direction in front of Azrael's numb body. So, they immediately informed her about it.
Hearing that, she became extremely nervous. She could feel the dominance even without being suppressed from that entrance's spiritual aura. But she was confident on herself.
She smiled.
After that, she set up a ritualistic alter beside Azrael's numb body. She took a drop of blood from his finger and took a drop of blood from her own finger. Then she started the ritual. Throughout the ritual, she kept her eyes closed and kept continuing chantings resonantly. Gradually, within a few minutes, both bloods began to merge.
The moment the bloods merged, she instantly teleported into the world where Azrael was pulled through the entrance and now he was exploring through the ocean. Although Azrael didn't even have the faintest linking of her presence.
When Miss Sunflower opened her eyes in that world, she immediately realized that world could only pull anyone's astral projection, not the entire body. That's why she and he could come into that world.
When she looked at the surroundings, she also amazed by the environment of that world. She also didn't experience the ocean before in her entire life. So, she was also stunned to witness such irresistible fascinating world and its poetic beautiful artistry. But she was also careful of her actions and curious why that world intentionally pulled him out of nowhere.
While exploring the world, she realized that he couldn't even notice her and as an astral projection, that world directly wouldn't affect them that much. And that made her more curious about that world's intention.
While exploring like that, they also came in contacts with numerous various marine animals. Other than fishes, they couldn't recognize any other beings there. Though still she recognized octopuses, sharks, and eels; for Azrael those underwater creatures were the completely unknown entities. Even he sometimes couldn't recognize fishes also, as in his southern provinces, fishes didn't really come there, and no one ate them. He only saw the pictures of fishes in the books.
Thus, while exploring, suddenly they came in front of an underwater cave. It was made with sands and sandstones. The inside was pitch black. Azrael was skeptical about whether he should go inside or not. However, at that moment, suddenly he was pulled into the cave.
Seeing that, she also followed him.
When she entered into the cave, at first the inside of the cave was filled with boundless darkness. But gradually the more she entered towards the core region of the cave, she began to notice that the inside was being illuminated by a soft white light. Even despite being astral projection, she felt a strange warm feeling from that light.
She was stunned but was also more curious.
When she entered into the core region of the cave, she saw Azrael already was present there but in a strange trance state. She was confused. At that moment, her eyes went to the source of the warm soft white light.
In front of Azrael, on the rocky structure, a clam was levitating and glowing with dim soft white light. Multiple intricate runes were carved on the skin of that clam. Despite being under the tremendous pressure of the ocean water levels, it was levitating there, as if not any forces could influence it at all.
In that trance state, Azrael gradually began to move towards that clam. However, following him, as she tried to move towards it, she felt a strong resistance from it, as if only he had the permission to come. She tried again. But this time, the cave straight pushed her outside of it. She was very astonished to realize it.
This event made her more curious about him. She began to analyze all the events happened before around him in her mind.
One thing she understood after analyzing all the events happened around him that, he possessed some kind of most valuable and mysterious thing, which pulled such tremendously terrible and dangerous life and death situations towards him. And he often stuck in such dangerous situations automatically without his knowledge. She gradually became more fascinated towards him and the mysteries hidden within his body.
At that very moment, suddenly she felt a divine pleasure ran across her spines, bloods, organs, and muscles. She instantly realized the fragments of one of the core seed which was resided in her body as her second soul, fully fused with all her inner chakras. She was stuck in that bottleneck for about 3 to 4 years. Fortunately, that world acted as a catalyst for her further advancement. She couldn't believe that it would be a blessing in disguise.
From that moment, she became the 'Saint'.
Within a second, her body became transparent like a flowing holy water. Seeing that, she seated in her astral projection state with a cross legged posture with closed eyes outside he cave. She could clearly feel what happened with her astral projection form, was actually happening with her real body. Even she could clearly witness the changes happened in the mountain forest from that world. So, she let everything feel to her astral projection state.
Boundless golden threads began to emit from her body and then began to dissolve into her body. Her emotions, subconscious state of mind, astral and ether body began to fuse with her material body. Her spirituality seemed to expand tenfold times. All the fragments into her body began to shape into a full grown seed like form. Multiple fragments of her memories and all her evolution techniques began to scatter outside of her body. Then gradually, it began to overlap into each other and then all those fragments gradually started combining with her materialistic physical body.
The moment everything combined with her real physical body, at the mountain forest, all the life energy of her children and the surroundings forest trees began to be consumed into her body, whereas in that world, all the marine underwater plants' life energy also began to be consumed into her real body through her astral projection state.
At that very moment, suddenly the sky above the mountain forest began to burst with the sounds of thunderbolts. She instantly realized that the more she would advance, the more the cosmos would want to suppress her. And that would cause the birth of the ultimate corruption into her body.
She became extremely terrified. But after waiting for a while, she felt nothing unusual happened in the forest. Even by then, the sky also changed into its normal state.
She was stunned but then realized that as her consciousness had into her astral projection, not into her real body, that's why even the cosmos couldn't detect her.
She became amazed to realize that the world was much superior than even the cosmos. But then she thought that it could also be possible that as she was only at her saint level, so only a mid level law had descended. And the level of that world was much higher than the saint level. That's why the mid level cosmic law couldn't detect the world.
So, she decided to leave the world as now nothing was left for her to do. Also, as she just advanced, she had to go to the long slumber to evolve into the saint completely.
The moment she returned back into her body, her astral projection was also dissipated into her physical body. The ritual was also completed. Her children were also waiting for her return. So, after her return, they again bowed down before her.
She smiled.
After that, she swung her one arm. As a result, within a moment, all plants returned back to their real botanical form. At that moment, she felt her lot amounts of spirituality drained instantly. She realized that she had to go to the slumber fast.
Without further any delay, instead of going to headquarters, she went to the deep region of the mountain forest. After a few minutes, she reached into a place filled with multiple sunflowers. She gradually lied above a huge sunflower. Multiple sunflowers gradually covered her from the sun. Then, slowly she went into the deep slumber...
