Earth's Greatest Magus
Earth's Greatest Magus - Chapter 1936: Earth

?Emery embarked on a journey across the Earth's continents to investigate the 23 locations revealed by Kronos' restored data. His first destination led him south of Egypt, to the land of the Afri, as referred to by the Romans. There, he discovered an ancient temple erected by the locals for their gods, adorned with markings from both the Nephilim and Kronos.

Leveraging his heightened proficiency in nature, Emery skillfully identified the Abyss gate buried deep within the temple grounds. Much like the one in the lost city of Babel, this gate was sealed and bore similar markings. However, this location lacked the remnants of a lost city or mystical trees. just the silent presence of the sealed gate, a mysterious portal to realms untold.

Emerging from the Earth, Emery savored the sensation of the fresh ground beneath his feet and the gentle breezes brushing against his face. "How beautiful our Earth is, incomparable to any other planet," he remarked, appreciating the unique wonders of their home world.

Klea, with a playful giggle and a radiant smile, dismissed the Nova ship, opting for a more enchanting mode of transportation. She took Emery's hand, summoning the lightning bird, and the two soared through the skies, heading towards the next location on the continent. Their journey unveiled three more Abyss gates, each adorned with the distinctive markings of the Nephilims.

The lightning bird soared over the vast oceans until they reached a new continent, a world no less enchanting than the ones before. The landscape was adorned with numerous temples, one reminiscent of the architectural marvels in the lost city of Babel.

Curiosity guiding their path, Emery and Klea decided to engage with the locals of this newfound land—the Mayans. Welcoming and hospitable, the Mayan people regarded the celestial visitors as gods descended from the sky. In awe, they swiftly organized a grand feast, celebrating the presence of these divine beings. Emery and Klea, keen on embracing the Mayan culture, partook in the festivities and learned snippets about their traditions.

Immersing himself in the Mayan fables, Emery uncovered four more hidden locations across the continent, all telling a similar story of the gods, and the floods brought by mother nature to the earth.

Another journey across oceans and continents brought them back to Asia, completing their exploration of Earth. The tally stood at 36 Abyss gates, each echoing the identical markings of the Nephilims.

Unwilling to disturb Chumo, their next destination was the Bodhi Temple, where the Abbot resided. Upon arrival, Emery was pleasantly surprised to sense the presence of hundreds of Earth realm figures. Some were diligently practicing martial arts in the temple yards, while others were immersed in meditative prayers. Additionally, Emery's keen senses detected the presence of a few dozen individuals from the sky realms.

Impressed by the scene before him, Emery remarked, "This is truly remarkable."

Klea, with a teasing smile, replied, "Well, you weren't here, so someone had to handle your responsibilities," hinting at her contribution by supplying the temple with hundreds of pills from the magus realms. However, the pills were only a fraction of the story. Emery discerned that each individual was diligently practicing the Divine arts passed down by the Abbot himself, a testament to the spiritual and martial discipline fostered within the temple.

As Emery stepped into the temple, a familiar figure greeted him with genuine warmth.

"Senior brother, welcome back," Damo, the young monk, expressed his salutations. Emery had previously spotted him on the Summit at Rome but hadn't had the chance to speak with the boy. Emery's heart swelled with pride as he observed that the young monk had not only reached early rank 9 but had also begun forming his second pillar. The sight of a 15-

year-old achieving such progress filled Emery with a sense of accomplishment and hope. It triggered contemplation about the magus academy, leaving him to wonder if it would open soon enough for Damo to enroll and further nurture his exceptional talents.

Emery approached the ancient Spirit Tree in the Bodhi temple with a determined heart, eager to unveil the mysteries connecting the Abyss gate and Gaia. The serene atmosphere of the temple surrounded him as he focused his thoughts on this profound quest. Yet, much like his experience in the Fey Forest, the communion with Gaia brought forth a vision filled with images of death and destruction, followed by an inexplicable rejection from the ancient spirit.

However, Emery, was not easily discouraged. Choosing to persist, he activated his [Soul Walking] skill, an ability that allowed him to traverse the spiritual realm. With his newly advanced proficiency in the law of light, Emery sought to extract whispers and emotions from Gaia's essence. In her vulnerability, Gaia's whispers conveyed a deep sadness and anger, resonating with the profound connection she shared with a figure she referred to as the 'sky god.'

Despite this insight, it became evident to Emery that further understanding would require an enhancement of either his mental power or an increased proficiency in the law of nature and light.

Disappointed with the limited insights gained from Gaia, Klea suggested the possibility of seeking answers in the Fey village. However, Emery, aware of the potential repetition of the outcome, shook his head in disagreement. Instead, he turned his attention to the abbot and posed a crucial question: "Who is this sky god?"

The most likely answer, in everyone's mind, pointed towards Kronos and his magus associates. The elusive data from Kronos seemed increasingly crucial for Emery to unravel the truths hidden in the events of 2000 years ago.

Pondering over Kronos and his magus, Emery couldn't shake off the thought that nearly two weeks had passed, yet there were no messages concerning his demand for Hecate's return. Suspicion lingered, suggesting that their adversaries might be orchestrating something ominous once again.

Determined to counter any hidden plots, Emery muttered to himself,

"Good, take your time... you will regret it,"
