Apotheosis

Nina was stunned. For so many years, the people of Shura Battlefield had worked hard to progress against the demons. Little by little, they had built two massive towers, the Heaven tower, and the Earth tower, to resist the demons. However, this time, the situation seemed to be unprecedentedly grim, as the demons had now occupied the two towers......

Flying on the sword was faster than running on foot in the forest.

Lennie directed the sword to carry them northwest. They flew like the wind, and soon, they reached their destination. Nina gasped as she saw a big white city.

"It is the White Emperor City!"

Since all the buildings and walls in the city were made of dolostone which was white and very hard, the city was called White Emperor City for its white color.

Lennie and Nina landed at the gate of White Emperor City with Zen who was still comatose.

Several soldiers appeared at the gate and, seeing Lennie, said respectfully, "Sir, if you want to enter the city, please show your jade token and accept our checks to let us make sure that you are not dressed up!"

Payne said in a sharp voice, "Sure. Since I love money more than people, I will forget what you have said in the past, and help you. Heh heh!"

Then Payne asked the three to come into his room.

Lennie walked to the jade bed in the room and placed Zen on it.
