Chapter 640 Present and the past.
Over a year ago, the enormous Centipede was the stuff of legends and something that could have killed Isaac with a single breath. However, now he had killed it without any effort!
The Centipede's strength could be classified as ''Demi-God'' and it was vastly stronger than Baba Yaga. But Isaac had already entered the realm of godhood in terms of strength. The winner was decided before the fight even began!
Isaac used ''Explorer of Life'' and appeared before the enormous granite door. Its towering presence made him feel incredibly small. It was even bigger than the centipede!
''What was that voice and why did it send me here?'' Isaac wondered and took a step forward. He placed his hands on the granite door and started pushing the enormous door open. It was incredibly heavy, and Isaac was certain that any other player wouldn't have any luck opening it!
However, Isaac's physical strength was the highest of all the players. It was quite ironic when, only a year ago, he had one of the worst physical strengths. That caused a smile to creep up on his face as he noticed the door was slowly moving!
Creak... The dust blew away, causing a dust storm around the tall door. The bottom of the door was dragging through the ground, leaving behind long white scratches.
After a minute of pushing forward, Isaac noticed that there was a small enough gap to go through. He immediately used ''Explorer of Life'' and appeared inside the room. The door instantly closed with a bang.
The room was pitch-black. There was no light and the air was very stuffy.
Isaac covered his nose because it was getting clogged. He raised his free hand and was about to release the speck of lights. However, then the entire room was lit brilliantly.
''What is this place?'' He wondered aloud as the entire room was now bright white. However, then large bubbles appeared out of thin air--each showing a video recording. Isaac casually walked towards the first bubble, and saw a young Arthur talking with a beautiful silver-haired woman.
Her face had a gentle smile as Arthur was blushing and fidgeting. He didn't look anything like the majestic leader of Legacy Company, the one who created White Online.
Gaia was talking to Arthur, about the creation of a game which would allow humans to travel to other worlds. Arthur thought it was crazy and said it was impossible. However, then Gaia showed her powers, asking if it was really impossible.
Arthur fell on his butt and looked flabbergasted. He thought he was dreaming and that he was about to wake up. Then, Gaia pinched his cheek and giggled with her sweet tone. In the end, she convinced him to build a machine that would allow world travel.
It took him three years to create the first prototype. It allowed him to see the other world, but even that was a world-changing creation. Gaia, from that day onward, trusted him with her entire heart.
In the year 2003, Arthur officially started his company and started to find investors. He sought out all the wealthy families that he could find. Showed them a glimpse of the world, treating it as a game. Even though it looked beautiful, no one was willing to believe that it was going to be anything great.
There was already an enormous market for video games, and it needed to be something truly incredible.
In one of the bubbles, Arthur's discussion with Maxwell was shown. Isaac's father treated him like he was a mad man and refused. At that time, he was still quite a rascal and didn't bother to speak nicely.
Then, the bubbles showed five years later, Arthur speaking with presidents of a dozen countries. This time, he looked far more confident. He managed to convince them to come to the moon with him. Then, the bubble showed a spaceship going to the moon, and to the presidents' shock, they entered through a hole in the moon surface, and entered a majestic city!
They felt like children at that moment and were amazed at every little thing. There, they met Goddesses and Gods. They were now completely on Arthur's side and gave him the best possible resources to complete White Online.
After two years of that meeting, the White Online trailer was released. It was a world-wide phenomenon, and everyone awaited it with excellent expectations. Two years after that was Alpha Testing, young Kalzer and Amour were seen fighting against weak-looking boars.
Three years after that, Beta Testing began, and it showed Arawn, Xerxus, Diana, Jonathan, Michael, and even Klaus, fighting against weak-looking beasts.
The last bubble then showed the year 2020, five years after beta testing. It showed an image of Arthur, looking tired with black eyebags underneath his eyes. His employees looked extremely nervous but excited!
Then, Arthur drew a breath and opened his eyes with a small smile. ''Open the servers.''
After watching the last bubble, Isaac reached the end of the path, and one more bubble appeared from thin air. It showed a white-haired boy, beautiful and delicate-looking, entering the Spawn Dimension.
Suddenly, a mountain crumbled apart and enormous Dragon appeared. It was World Destroying Dragon, Drakelion. Isaac's eyes widened as he remembered this perfectly.
With a single roar, the dragon destroyed all the nearby mountains. Following that roar, flaming meteors descended from the sky, coloring it with a crimson sheen.
The delicate white-haired boy fell on his butt, looking like he was going to die.
''Hmm... could it be?'' Isaac watched the scene behold, and chuckled while swiping his hair back. ''I see now...''
With a snap of fingers, Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle appeared on his hand. He pointed at the soap bubble and smiled as he pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The single bullet entered the soap bubble, and tore through the air, which destroyed all the surrounding meteors. Then, Drakelion opened its massive jaw and released a flaming meteor from its mouth.
However, the bullet effortlessly shredded through the wall of fire, arrived before Drakelion and tore straight through!
Drakelion's mad cry echoed across all realms as it suddenly started to flap its massive wings and flew away with its massive body barely lifted from the ground.
Isaac turned to his younger self and gently smiled. ''Little one, you are still far from this stage... But, maybe one day... I can watch with pride as you are taking down Drakelion with your own hands...''
'Like I just did.' The rest of the words he kept in his mind and saw the bubble shattering. Behind the bubble, a door appeared, and without further ado, Isaac opened the door and entered.
