Chapter 688 Chapter 688 Confused

Aldred was on the ground, trying to process what had happened. He looked in front of him, it was the same blank white canvas.

However, he stood up, and slowly approached, reaching out with his hands to probe.

Sure enough, his fingers touched something. It was like touching a wall, however, his finger did not feel any texture or temperature at all.

"Is anyone there?"

He was certain that he heard a voice earlier.

He tried to activate his godly eyes, but it did not work.

He put him palm on the invisible wall.

"Is someone there?" He asked again.

There was no reply. He then tried to knock on the wall.

It didn't create any sound, however, Aldred felt his knuckles hitting on something.

Still, nobody responded.

Aldred clicked his tongue and slammed his fist to the invisible wall a couple of times.

And then, the wall suddenly pushed his hand, making him fall to the floor.

Coming out of the invisible wall was a woman.

The woman emerged gracefully from the invisible wall, as if passing through a veil between worlds. She had an ethereal presence, her features adorned with an otherworldly beauty that transcended mortal aesthetics.

Her long, flowing hair shimmered with iridescent hues.

Eyes of celestial blue held a depth that seemed to reflect the vastness of the cosmos.

Draped in a robe that seemed to shift between shades of nebulae, she moved with a fluid grace, each step resonating with the harmony of the cosmos.

However, despite all the grandeur words Aldred had to describe her. Overall, she still looked homely as if she was a perfect candidate for a housewife. n)-o-/V-)E/-l).B/-I.)n

"Who are you?" Aldred asked, his voice carrying a mix of curiosity and awe.

"It's me who should ask you that question. How did you arrive here?"

"I am looking for Ascendria. Are you the guardian? Can you lead me to it?"

"Why don't you eat that pie first before it gets cold."

Aldred sighed and grabbed the wooden spoon and dug into the pie. After he put a spoon of pie in his mouth, the woman spoke.

"Why do you come here?"

"I want to find a way to return to my family."

"It's not to defeat Lord Malgorth or to unite the galaxy?"

Aldred's eyes widened a bit. "Those are not my priorities."

'How did she know? Can she read mind?'

The woman snorted with a smile. "You do all of that to simply return to your family. That doesn't sounds so ambitious does it?"

"I believe family is the most ambitious thing I can do. After all, every power in the world won't matter if you're lonely."

"I am not asking for your opinion, boy." The woman smiled.

Suddenly, there were footsteps from outside.

"Seems like my children are coming home."

"Children?"

The wooden door opened, revealing two children, a girl, and a boy, around the age of 10 both excitedly came to their mother and hugged her.

They soon noticed the strange man sitting on the chair.

"Mom, who is that?"

"He's an old friend of mine. Why don't you two go to the bathroom. You both stinks." She jokingly swiped?the air as if trying to get rid of the smell.

"After that, I will bake an apple pie for you two."

"Yayy! Apple pie!" The two ran to the bathroom immediately.

The woman turned around and looked at Aldred's confused expression.

"You must be wondering who I am. Let me tell you," the woman said.

Her homely expression turned serious as she looked at Aldred right in the eye. "I am Astrea, the Keymaster of Ascendria."
