Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2966 1621

Indeed, with the 'Gate of Truth' having merged with the previously sealed zone, it's likely that the 'Key of Truth' is required for entry.

"Theoretically, that's accurate. However, let's proceed inside to get a better look first."

Leo Ray regained his composure and nodded to the assembled powerful figures.

"Given that this is a highly unique Barrier area, allow me to take the lead!"

Moli confidently patted her chest, and with Leo Ray's consent, she was the first to step into the mist-shrouded interior of the gate.

A short while later, the young woman emerged partially from the gate, her head poking out, and gestured enthusiastically to Leo Ray, signaling she had made a significant discovery.

"Let's proceed."

Receiving Moli's confirmation that the way was clear, Leo Ray moved forward.

The instant he passed through the ancient gateway, an expansive vista unfolded before Leo Ray's perception.

The interior was not as dark as it had appeared from the outside; instead, it revealed an underground hall constructed from polished marble, presenting a stark contrast to the aged stone walls encountered previously.

Bright illumination permeated the hall, courtesy of numerous Lighting Arrays dispersed throughout the space.

Furthermore, lining both sides of the central pathway within the hall stood colossal statues, each towering ten meters high and reaching towards the hall's domed ceiling, exuding an aura of grandeur and magnificence.

These immense statues depicted armored Knights, each brandishing an enormous Battle Axe, conveying an impression of immense power and ruggedness, though their forms were only roughly outlined, lacking lifelike detail.

The hall itself, however, offered a dramatic counterpoint to these imposing figures.

Both the floor tiles and the walls of the hall were adorned with intricately detailed relief sculptures, illustrating various scenes such as hunting, dancing, and sacred rituals.

The central figures in each relief were distinctly Long-eared Light Elves, rendered with such meticulous artistry that even individual strands of hair were perfectly depicted, serving as true masterpieces, identical in style to those observed on the exterior.

For a moment, the towering, rough-hewn statues created a sharp contrast with the hall's artistic ambiance, as if they belonged to entirely separate realms.

"So, these colossal statues must be part of the 'Gate of Truth,' while the hall itself originates from the Ancient Light Elves?"

Leo Ray contemplated the distinct scenery before him and offered a slight nod.

Over this recent period, Leo Ray had come to realize that the interior environments associated with each Door, where a Stone Spirit resided, exhibited incredible diversity.

Some were artistic marvels that far surpassed the zenith of the Ten Thousand Clans during the Silver Moon Era, while others were exceptionally primitive, consisting merely of ruins or barren deserts.

"Your Majesty speaks truly; these colossal statues were clearly not created by the Ancient Light Elves, nor even by the Ancient Human Tribe."

Fei'er, positioned beside Leo Ray, exclaimed, "I must admit, this fusion of refined artistry and raw ruggedness results in a remarkably unique aesthetic."

Following Fei'er's declaration, the other powerful individuals present voiced their concurrence.

Lila and Hollis, in particular, among the Half-Giants, expressed their admiration aloud.

These enormous statues, both in their form and overall appearance, bore a striking resemblance to the Titan Clan, perfectly aligning with the mental imagery of giants held within their own minds.

"Very well, let us conduct a thorough exploration of the surroundings."

With a sweep of his hand, Leo Ray directed everyone to investigate this newly discovered area independently.

Following a comprehensive examination, Leo Ray made further observations.

Encircling the hall, several passages and chambers were obstructed by invisible barriers, rendering them entirely inaccessible.

These barriers emanated a terrifyingly potent aura, demonstrating an unyielding resilience, clearly having attained the realm of the Gods.

Beyond these impenetrable obstructions, the overall dimensions of this hall were quite limited, and nothing else of particular significance was immediately apparent.

"What exactly are these barriers? They're far too formidable!"

Moli launched an attack against one of the barriers with her full might, only to be repelled by an unseen force. She winced as she picked herself up from the ground.

"Young lady, do not forget that this is a composite space, merging the 'Gate of Truth' with the original Ancient Light Elf Barrier area."

Leo Ray responded with a helpless chuckle and then stated, "If my assumption is correct, these barriers were not part of the original structure; they were implemented at a later stage. After all, to traverse the 'Gate of Truth,' one would invariably require the 'Key of Truth.'"

"My Lord is correct, but after a meticulous search, we have discovered no feature resembling a keyhole."

Lila approached, her brow furrowed in puzzlement, "Where could such a keyhole possibly be located?"

As Lila's query hung in the air, the other individuals who had been searching also reconvened with Leo Ray, each conveying their fruitless efforts with a shake of their heads.

Meanwhile, Leo Ray gently stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Drawing from their past experiences with the 'Gate of Wandering,' they were aware that the so-called 'keyhole,' or more precisely, the 'Door Lock' as Lila referred to it, was typically ingeniously concealed.

Furthermore, given that this area spanned a considerably larger territory than the 'Gate of Wandering' zone they had previously encountered, locating the 'Door Lock' presented a truly formidable challenge.

"Thinking about it, it's not impossible to find the trail; while this region is vast, it eventually connects back to the original Barrier area. This means the 'Door Lock' could very well be situated in the part that represents the 'Gate.'"

At this, Leo Ray turned his gaze toward the imposing statues. "Regardless, even if we don't possess the key ourselves, we should at least identify the 'Door Lock' first."

"Understood, Lord! We grasp the situation!"

Hollis and the others, quickly noting Leo Ray's direction of sight, began to scrutinize the area around the statues with heightened intensity.

Indeed, it wasn't long before Kira's sharp voice pierced the air, "Everyone, come and observe! The eyes of this colossal statue appear somewhat unusual!"

Upon hearing her, Leo Ray swiftly approached Kira, his eyes directed upwards at the statue's countenance.

The statue's eye sockets were conspicuously sunken into its broad yet rugged features. Unlike the other surrounding statues, which indicated pupils with dots, these lacked any such marking. The only reason it hadn't been noticed sooner was its placement in a shadowed recess.

"So, that's where the 'Door Lock' is located?"

Leo Ray offered Kira a pat on the shoulder in commendation and nodded slightly. "It seems two keys are required, much like for the 'Gate of Wandering.'"

"Unfortunately, we haven't got the keys,"

Moli remarked from the side with a shrug, followed by a sigh. "It appears we'll have to depart empty-handed."

However, before Moli could even finish her statement, an unforeseen event transpired.

Lila and Hollis suddenly froze, one gazing at the pendant adorning her chest, the other at the ring on his hand, both appearing astonished. The ancient Crystal Stone embedded within the pendant and the ring began to emit a radiant glow, the light piercing the statue's empty eye sockets.

"Lila, Hollis, quickly take them off; it seems we do possess the keys after all!"

Leo Ray's eyes sparkled as he signaled them.

When he had subdued the two, Leo Ray had already gleaned information.

It was revealed that the pendant and the Ring were Sacred Relics bestowed by the Stone Giant and the Half-Titan, hence they were entrusted to Lila and Hollis, the respective leaders of their clans.

Now, it appeared these weren't merely ordinary Sacred Relics but were, in fact, the 'Key of Truth' required for this place!

"Yes, Lord!"

At his directive, Lila and Hollis, surprised yet pleased, willingly removed the Sacred Relics and held them in their palms.

In the following instant, the two Sacred Relics ascended from their hands, soaring directly towards the statue's eyes until the ancient Crystal Stones were perfectly integrated with the statue's eye sockets.

"Success! The Lord was correct; these are indeed the keys that correspond to the 'Door Lock'!"

Witnessing this marvel, the powerful figures erupted in jubilant cheers.

This occurrence undeniably signified that everyone had now earned the right to enter this 'Gate'!
