Pamela and Anna followed Corey to the back of the pile of rubbles, and they saw the Forge.

When they saw it, it was not what they expected in the slightest.

The Forge was a dark silver cube the size of an elephant. It had extremely dense and complex runes that flickered with a dark grey light.

The cubic Forge floated above the ground and rotated very slowly, allowing anybody a great deal of time to see the runes.

Aside from the runes, black geometric lines were engraved on the surface, and at the center of cube was a familiar golden flame.

Pamela looked at Corey in surprise. "Isn't that Divine's eternal flame? Why do you have it?"

"He's my friend, and after asking him if I could borrow a bit of his flames, he said I could. It's that simple. When I'm done with it, it'll go back to him."

When Pamela heard the answer to her question, she was not as surprised as before. She shifted her gaze back at the cube which was The Forge.

"I didn't know what I was expecting, but I was certainly not expecting this." Pamela said with visible intrigue in her voice as she looked at The Forge.

Although it was just a cube with geometric lines and runes running across it, it was a thing of beauty in her eyes.

Many of the runes were unfamiliar to her, and she needed to use her connection with runes to understand what these runes were.

With her unique class as a Rune Sage, she was able to easily understand the runes Corey used and what their purpose were, and to her surprise, some of the runes were runes of the Shattered Dimension of the Old Ones.

"If I wasn't around, you'd definitely be the most talented rune master in our universe." Pamela muttered softly underneath her breath, and Corey chuckled softly.

"We have not explored outside New Earth, so there might be beings that have an affinity to runes is nearly comparable to you. My affinity is high, but it's nothing compared to yours."

Pamela remained silent and did not make a comment in regards to Corey's words. To her, Corey was selling himself short and was being humble.

His affinity for runes was high extremely high and she was certain that less than 1% of universe had an affinity close to his.

'Would I be able to create something like this? Would I even be able to destroy it if I used my full power?'

Pamela wondered in immense curiosity as she took a step toward The Forge. Just as she was about to touch The Forge, Corey's voice drifted into her ears.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Only Anna and I can touch it. If anybody else touches it, they'll suffer a powerful backlash. You might die or be crippled at best."

Pamela stopped her hand, and with an unwilling expression, she lowered it.

"How did you even make something like this? I don't even know many of the metals here." Pamela asked with an extremely curious experience, and Corey gave her a light smile.

"From the Underworld and the Shattered Dimension of the Old Ones."

Pamela raised her brows, but Corey did not wait for her to speak. He placed his right hand on the Forge, and it brightened.

The runes brightened considerably, and the Forge came to a stop.

"Come closer."

Corey said to Anna and Pamela, and the duo approached him. Corey twisted his hand, and the runes on the Forge released a grey beam of light to Corey's left.

The grey beam of light transformed into a spiraling void portal, and Corey gestured at it.

"Enter."

Pamela and Anna looked at one another for a second before entering the void portal. The moment they entered, the Void Portal closed and Corey slowly vanished into the thin air.

A few moments later, the lights from the runes reduced, and the Forge went back to normal.

(Inside The Forge)

When Corey arrived inside the Forge, he saw Pamela and Anna having surprised expressions because of the appearance of the Forge.

Corey observed them for a moment, and then he spoke.

"What you said before..."

Pamela and Anna turned and looked at him with raised brows.

"Concerning me leaving New Earth while it's not safe is something I've thought deeply about. I know about the dangers. For example, we have the Outsiders, the Divine Kingdoms scattered in hidden places on New Earth, the hidden Demons, and The Clown who to me, is the most biggest danger to New Earth than the others."

Corey paused with a slight frown, and then he released a soft sigh.

"I also know that New Earth has an extremely deep and complex history that I'll surely love to unravel. I know the hidden opportunities that are still on New Earth, the opportunity to become New Earth's Progenitor, and so many other opportunities."

"I know all of these and a lot more, and trust me when I say that I would choose to remain on New Earth so as to help the world get rid of the most important and urgent dangers. But I have to do this before I become a Mystic Being."

"If I become a Mystic Being and attempt to do this, it'll become a million times more difficult for me."

A calculating flicker flashed in Corey's eyes, and then he flicked his finger.

An object flew toward Pamela at a speed an average mortal human would never be able to react to, but Pamela calmly caught the object.

She opened her hand, and she was surprised to see a grey ring.

"..." She blinked in confusion and with a million thoughts in her mind.

"What is this?" She asked after some seconds, and Corey explained.

"That's a void ring. It can be used to store things and most importantly, it can be used to communicate with me from an extremely far distance and I can also communicate with you from an extremely far distance."

"Anna has one like it, and I'm giving you one too."

Corey gestured at Anna's void ring.

"If the situation on New Earth becomes dire to the point that you can't fix it alone, you should be able to contact me and I'll come."

"Besides, I don't even know if I'll be forced to leave New Earth. It's just an assumption."
