Novel & Cerita Earth Altar

He unscrewed the cap with fingers that trembled—a microscopic movement that made Phoenix’s heart give a violent, traitorous thud against her ribs. He unrolled the map across the desk. It was an ancient topographical chart of the Black Abyss, the paper smelling of damp archives, old blood, and three hundred years of dust. "I’ve spent the last six hours mapping the necrotic gas vents," Kael said, his voice dropping into a low, urgent rumble. He pointed a scarred finger at a jagged caldera deep within the northern range. "The Second Altar is here. Three miles beneath the surface. The pressure is high enough to crush a Beta’s lungs, and the heat is... absolute."

I was way taller than her. "This is Artemisia. My personal ride-" My mother answered my unvoiced question while climbing up to the back of the animal. Then she continued her explanation as we both trotted towards the city. "-She is a normal wild wolf. The only difference is she is immortal just like my huntresses. Also, she can run faster than a normal wild wolf and is trained for hunting and tracking." 'Oh, she's beautiful.' I praised, which earned an affectionate whine from Artemisia.

Under the holy bridge is a sacred place, is where I want my name to be glorified, the shade casted under it will serve as your resting place, your worship to me is the only rest you need.

This is my commandment, I am the Creator, who hast made everything into their existence. ---- Discovering his new weapon, Niru is abrupted into it and tried to touch the glowing orb that float

Soon, the moon will turn red and it is time for revenge. Even though being in the sky was beautiful, it wasn't enough for Altair. Until he ruled the human world and became the ruler of everything, he was not happy. Soon all will be accomplished. Anna was their goddess of war, and this time there were no more failures. Suddenly, Altar saw something from down there. Something glittering emerged from the earth. Altar took a closer look, it seemed to be an object that didn't come from humans on earth. It was a magic item that should belong to the elves. Altair snorted. As long as he was up here, there were always magical items he found, remnants of war buried in the ground and lost in the modern

Malak tried to interrupt, but the Fang recoiled from him now, as if tasting poison. “You don’t control it,” Elara said, voice rising. “You only infected it.” She took Lerder’s other hand. “We will rewrite it now. Flame and Fang. Alpha and Light.” The altar cracked. Malak screamed, sprinting toward them. But the altar exploded upward in a halo of ancestral flame, catching Malak mid-stride, hurling him backward into the wall. The flames that rose weren’t red or gold. They were colorless, pure, a soulfire. It burned from the altar to the chamber ceiling, touching the eclipse gate—and for a second, the entire sky peeled open.

Overhead, the torches flicker green and red like twin veins of blood and poison, casting a sickly glow over everything. At the center of the room, the altar waits, carved with screaming faces and wings. Athea moves around it like a high priestess from some long-dead cult, robes now crimson, soaked to the hem in something darker than dye. She sprinkles crushed bone into a brazier. It hisses and ignites with a violent green flame. My stomach twists.

"Because it's not a weapon, boy. It's a god. Or what's left of one. Bound in steel, carved with the bones of the first cursed child. We don't speak its name because names are doors, and doors open things we're not always ready to face." "And you think it can cut a bond like Zeina's?" Dirus stepped closer, eyes gleaming with something ancient and hungry. "If it can't... nothing can." We walked for hours more, though time had lost meaning. Downward, always downward, until the stone turned glassy, and the air hummed like a held breath. Then finally, we reached it. The Black Altar. A chamber carved into the earth's heart, where no sun had ever touched. The ceiling rose in jagged teeth. At its ce

Trees twist like broken bones against a sky the color of a bruise. The air crackles, dry and sharp, tasting of ozone and… old graves. Cursed earth. Blighted things. Then the altar shifts . Not stone settling. A movement within . My breath hitches, lodges somewhere beneath my ribs. Can’t move. Can’t look away. Earth cracks, spills open like a wound. Dark tendrils writhe, thick as roots, glistening wet. They knot, pull, build . A shape coalescing from the muck and shadow. A torso, limbs… a head. Sculpted from the grove’s corrupted heart.

The World-Tree, now known to the survivors as the Aethel-Graft, did not just sit in the center of the world; it lived in the lungs of every breathing soul. Its roots had tunneled through the rusted iron foundations of the Thorne Citadel, cracking the ancient concrete like eggshells to reach the sweet, untapped aquifers deep within the Earth’s crust. Its branches, shimmering with a bioluminescent mixture of Aero’s gold and Lyra’s violet, created a permanent aurora borealis that danced across the sky, shielding the planet from the prying, cold eyes of the deep-space Architects.

Reincarnated, he possessed greater transcendent potential, now fused with this miraculous artifact. The Eye of Aslant, originally the Eye of Insight, was a sacred relic of the Aslant Civilization, a once high-tier Astral-level civilization. Its destruction during the war with the Fulgor Civilization had astonished all. “Who would have thought an artifact deemed indestructible could fail at the hands of a fragile one like me?” Logo mused wryly. Miraculous artifacts, born from the rules of the Astral Realm, carried immense, often incomprehensible powers—Time White Feather, Chaos Stele, Elemental Furnace, Death Note—renowned across the realm.
