Novel & Cerita Gate Of Babylon

*** Xander's POV *** The eastern gate of the Obsidian Citadel was a masterpiece of military fortification. Heavy, reinforced titanium-steel doors, thirty feet high, etched with thousands of overlapping defensive shield runes. To any normal army, it was an impassable wall. To me, it was just a monolithic server begging to be crashed.

“You saw this gateway?” “Mmm” I tilt my head back and forth slowly, “It was the mirror” I point to the folder where a page depicts the gateway hidden underground in Tolba. “Queen Lamia found a book, that explained how to…” I think of the right words, “…Open the gateway.”

He laughed and so did the others. The gate was opened for them with the usual fanfare, and they walked into the city. Yvayn walked alongside his father pointing here and there as Myllyof explained what each building was. They walked through markets passing hundreds of people on their way to the square of Thaliese. Deep inside the city they came to a very ornate gate with walls of ancient green stone. The gate was carved with lots of figures of birds, animals, and plants. Tall skinny figures of people stood across the top of the gate looking straight ahead. The door was of aged cypress cut from the swamps around Careath. The doors were held in place by long wide bronze hinges. This gate was t

It was also a symbol of affiliation with the city to be built: Corpsehaven. The crowd fell silent, holding their breath, hopeful to be chosen next. Their hopes crumbled as the gates began to creak closed, the metallic grind echoing through the still air. Faces twisted in despair, then erupted in rage. A wave of bodies surged against the barrier, clawing, pleading, forcing their way toward salvation. But the barrier responded cruelly—those who made contact dissolved, their flesh melting away like acid to skin. Screams filled the air as the massive doors slammed shut, sealing the city once more.

POV EMMA BELLE The main entrance to Sun-Spire was the Apollo Gate, a massive archway carved from solid white stone and reinforced with enchanted iron. Normally, the gates stood open to welcome trade, but today, they were slammed shut. Two full legions of Council Peacekeepers stood atop the battlements, their silver crossbows aimed squarely at our front line.

The stench of burned metal and wet dust hung hard in the air when I reached the foot of the rock. Kael was completely free from the gigantic, sloping steel gates of Bunker Beta. His vast presence seemed like the massive mountain massif in the background an ancient war god who returned to his domain. I went to his side, the fine ash sand crawled under my boots. The heavy gates were divided with an ear-powdering ark, but they opened only a few meters far – the hinges were through the months

Boom. Boom. Boom. Survivors in the control room stopped moving completely. One by one, they turned toward the screen. Then— they bowed. Not out of loyalty. Out of instinctive submission. Inside the abyss— the massive gate began to open. Slowly. With unbearable weight. Two halves separated. No machinery noise. Only that heartbeat growing louder. Vivienne stepped forward. Alexander followed. Side by side. Inside the opened gate— there was no machinery. No storage system. Only rows upon rows of glass biological cylinders stretching into darkness.

It was a testament to the lives that had been intertwined with the very fabric of the world, their destinies forever entwined with forces far greater than themselves. Jericho and Sable paused before a massive stone door, intricately adorned with celestial motifs and guarded by two statues of ancient guardians. As they studied the door, a soft whisper brushed against their ears, carrying an otherworldly promise of truth and revelation.

The air in the room suddenly felt thick, charged with the scent of pine and raw, predatory aggression. ​"That's impossible," Orion growled, his voice a low vibration that seemed to shake the very bookshelves. He stepped forward, his massive chest heaving. "That gate is reinforced with three-inch thick silver plating and ancient Thorne blood-seals. It hasn't been opened since the Great War. It’s only accessible by those with the highest security clearance in the North." ​"Then one of your Council members is a liar," Caleb said. His voice was dropping into that low, predatory register that made the hair on Elara’s neck stand up.

Ashtar silently watched until they disappeared behind the door. And once it closed— His expression changed completely. One of the elders approached him and whispered nervously: “Could she really be…?” Ashtar closed his eyes for a moment. Then said in a heavy voice: “If what I suspect is true…” He slowly opened his eyes. “…then the entire empire will turn upside down.” … Iris stepped outside behind Gabriel quickly as the massive stone doors slowly closed behind them. The cold air hit her face immediately. Snow continued falling lightly over the surrounding mountains, and the guards at the passage bowed as Gabriel passed.
