Chapter 216: CHAPTER 216 – Time to clear the SSS-ranked gate.
"The energy around this gate is unstable…"
Alex muttered as he touched the golden-colored portal in front of him.
Touching a portal was not possible for normal people as it was a passage, but for Alex who already had some mastery over space elements, it was not that hard.
In fact, if he tried, he could create a portal as well, although it wouldn't be a long-range portal or an inter-dimensional one, it would be a portal nonetheless.
As you would've guessed, Alex was standing in front of the SSS-ranked gate along with Alice and Ann.
Noctura was not with them in this adventure as she was in the villa, keeping an eye on Luna and her subordinates.
Talking about them, Luna and her subordinates were actually working as maids in the villa, cleaning and washing stuff.
"We need to work our pay."
This is what Luna had said.
Luna wanted to work for the food she was eating.
The food she ate was cooked by Alex since she didn't know how to cook, and her subordinates were only good at fighting.
It was not hard for Luna to learn cooking, but if she did that, then she would miss out on the food made by Alex, and that was the last thing she wanted to do.
'His food is the best I ever ate!'
These were the words that came out of her mouth after she took the first bite of his food, so how could she let go of such food?
Alex, Alice, and Ann also let her do what she wanted to do since that way she would be engaged in something.
Right now, however, Alice and Ann were frowning after they heard Alex's words.
"What do you mean?"
Ann asked.
"I don't know, but something about this gate is different.
This one doesn't seem natural, or should I say it feels forced? Yeah, that would be better work for it."
Alex replied with a pondering expression.
Unlike normal gates that felt like they were supposed to be there, this one felt like it was not supposed to be there, but it was forcefully formed.
[It was supposed to be an SS rank gate, but due to some reason, its rank is elevated to SSS rank peak.]
Sophia replied, clearing Alex's doubt.
'Ah, I see…'
'Now I feel that this gate will have something or someone interesting…'
Alex muttered with amusement.
This feeling of his was never wrong, he knew it.
Alice and Ann who were still thinking about Alex's words exchanged a look when they saw the corner of Alex's suddenly rise up.
'Sigh….' X2
Then both of them sighed.
"Let's go?"
Alice questioned Alex.
She already knew that Alex was more than ready to enter the gate, and now he was somehow interested as well, but she still asked.
"Yeah, let's go."
Alex nodded his head and stepped forward, followed by Alice and Ann.
However, there was something strange about the surroundings, there was no noise, no hustle and bustle, no sounds of camera clicks.
Even though Alex, Alice, and Ann were about to clear an SSS-ranked gate, there was no one to report about it.
Now, there was a reason behind it.
First of all, Alex didn't want the reporters crowding at his ass and asking him shit tons of questions.
He would turn Homelander mode and he might just wipe out every reporter live.
No, he is not crazy or something, he just didn't like the reporter bunch much after fake news of him doing an orgy in some club went viral.
It was clear that it was not him from the video, that guy was way too dull to be Alex, but they still claimed that it was him.
The news channel miraculously got shut down the next day, but Alex's image was now a bit down.
Yeah, Alex didn't care about his image and what people thought about him, but that didn't mean he would just let the people who tried to defame him or tarnish his name go.
"All the reporters and staff of the 'Daily Orange' died in a mysterious collapse of the building."
This was the top news the next day.
The whole staff of the channel that tried to tarnish Alex's name had died 'mysteriously'.
However, that was not the only reason for no one to be present in the vicinity.
As Alex said before, the gate seemed unstable, and because of that, the mana in the surroundings was going crazy, so if a person below S rank were to come close to this gate, then all that would be left of them would be meat paste.
That was the reason why there was no one here, other than Alice, Alex, and Ann.
...................
*Whistle*
The first thing Alex did after entering the gate was whistle in amazement.
Alice and Ann were also looking ahead of them in amazement.
"No matter how bad the gates are for humans, they sure do have a nice view."
Alex commented as he looked around.
"This looks like a picnic spot, one that I would really want to go to…."
Alice muttered as she looked at the path ahead of them.
There was a single path ahead, but the trees around it made that path look like a way to something very grand.
It felt like they were being welcomed into a grand ceremony or something.
Red, yellow, orange, blue, green, pink, etc. one could see trees of any color they wanted.
They were standing at one end of the path while the other path extended to who knows where. It was very long, after all, so long that they couldn't see the end.
Alex could probably see the end if he wanted to, but who wants to spoil the fun?
The colorful trees would sway as the air blew and their petals would fall on the ground, making the path they had to walk on become a multi-colored path.
"I really wanted to enjoy our time here, but alas…."

Ann sighed in regret as she looked at the trees.
"Well, we can't do anything now, can we? This is a gate and we are supposed to clear it…"
Alex just shrugged.
Anyone would be fooled by the lovely atmosphere, but they were not just normal people.
Ann as a wolf was extremely sensitive to wild, while Alex, well he was just Alex.
Alice…...
"What are you guys talking about?"
Well, maybe she didn't have any idea of what was really going on.
Alex and Ann shared a smile before Ann spoke.
"Would you like to do it or should I do it?"
"Go ahead."
Alex let Ann show Alice what they were talking about and Alice although confused, still looked as Ann walked toward one of those lovely-looking trees with slow and calm movements.
It looked as if she was going to relax next to it or she was going to pose for a picture.
