Chapter 44: Success
He was worried that something bad would happen. If it was only the bee colony that died, then it didn’t matter. That could not be said for this talking queen bee. If she also died, Aldric would lose all her bee colonies.
"Okay!" The Queen Bee nodded.
Several bees immediately approached the keyhole, starting to enter one by one.
It was indeed a tight fit for them as the entire keyhole was larger than the bees’ bodies.
Aldric closed his left eye and squinted his right, peering into the keyhole.
In a short time, the bees that entered the keyhole disappeared under Aldric’s sight.
However, Aldric did not see them inside the glass ball.
Shouldn’t they have appeared there?
"It worked, they passed," said the Queen Bee suddenly.
"Where are they now?" Aldric quickly asked the Queen Bee, not expecting that they had actually passed.
"Hmm, they seem to have arrived at a very large place," the Queen Bee replied.
"Very large?"
Hearing that, Aldric suddenly suspected that they were shrinking, arriving in the world inside the glass ball.
Compared to that world, they were of course very small. It was impossible to see their existence anymore.
"What’s the point if they make it in?" The prince suddenly spoke.
"They’ll just stay inside that thing, it’s too big a place for them. They won’t be able to give you any help," he told Aldric.
Unfortunately, what he said did make sense.
Aldric also wondered what the point would be if they managed to get in.
"Master, we can do something." The Queen Bee spoke again when he thought there was no hope.
"What is it?" Aldric immediately asked her a question.
"At the end of this keyhole, there is a portal. It seems to be able to be pulled out."
"What? Really?" Aldric was astonished to hear that.
Of course, he could expect there to be a portal to get inside this Space Artifact.
It was just that the portal was blocked by a lock.
Without passing through the lock, how could one enter the portal.
Perhaps when outside the lock, the portal would become larger enough for a human to enter.
It was just that, that the portal could be taken out sounded very strange.
’Well, after all, this is a game, everything can be designed,’ he thought as he remembered that this was a game world.
Perhaps in this game, this artifact was also designed that way by the person who made it.
Or maybe it’s already broken enough that you can open it by using a special trick.
Some bees entered the keyhole again, doing something inside.
The prince who initially looked down on them could only stare at them in disbelief.
Moments later, one bee came out, then two.
Uniquely, both bees were pulling something.
It was black, had a hole in the center, somewhat similar to the black hole from Swallowed Sky.
Only, it didn’t rotate and didn’t emit any suction power.
As Aldric continued to observe it, he found that it enlarged as it got closer to the outside of the keyhole.
Buzz!
There was a buzzing sound as it finally passed through the keyhole.
At the same time, its size finally became enormous, about twice as big as a human.
"The portal!" Whether it was Aldric or the prince, they looked at the portal in amazement.
Aldric felt like entering immediately.
However, he did not dare to send his real body. After all, he had no control over the portal, what if he couldn’t get out again. Although there were two clones outside, he still wanted his real body to be outside.
His first clone then stepped inside the portal.
It gave him the exact same sensation as when he entered this game, like passing through a different dimension and time space.
It lasted for about three seconds before he appeared in a different location.
The scenery amazed him.
He appeared in an infinite meadow that he could not see the end of.
The ground was not bumpy, it appeared flat as far as the eye could see, similar to a soccer field.
To the north, he saw an enormous transparent colored body.
It was clearly the body he saw from outside, covering one-quarter of this world. It might have been bigger if not for the fact that most of its body was buried in the ground.
Aldric couldn’t imagine what it would be like to see a creature of this size in the real world. Even in the game, this gave him a very depressing sensation.
Fortunately it was in an inanimate state. If it was alive, he would probably be terrified even in the game.
"Mm..." He suddenly saw light gather around him, then enter his body before he could react.
However, what happened next surprised him greatly.
When the light entered his body, he and even his original body and clones both found control over this artifact.
He could control the portal of the artifact. He could make it small again or bigger than it was now. Even the size of the artifact itself could be reduced.
The most amazing thing was that he could sense the existence of this entire vast world.
If he wanted to, he could appear wherever he wanted.
If he wanted to go out, he only needed to think about going out.
’So this is bound to me since I entered?’ He finally understood how this artifact worked.
At this moment, his second clone instantly threw the prince into the portal.
He then looked at the Queen Bee with his real body.
"Bring your colonies and hives into the portal. I will also move the Forest of Life inside," he said.
With the Space Artifact in his hand, he would naturally send everything he had into it.
The Queen Bee obeyed his orders without question.
When he increased the size of the portal, all the bees immediately entered it.
They brought their hives and Aldric controlled the Forest of Life into the portal.
Even the Polar Ice Bear went inside.
