Chapter 260 259: Golden Card  

Rosa stood in a daze as she looked at Corey's smile that contained a tinge of warmness. Seeing Corey smile with warmth felt surreal to her. Corey's expression was mainly that of indifference.

If Corey smiled, it was sometimes fake or filled with coldness.

Also, she took notice of Corey's new eyes which mesmerized her. She felt like her dreams, ambitions, and deepest nightmares were exposed before Corey's beautiful pair of eyes.

She found herself unable to look away from Corey's eyes, and his warmth infused smile for at least three seconds.

"You should smile more. It fits you."

She said, after internally struggling to look away from Corey's extremely handsome face. Corey's smile widened ever so slightly when he heard her words.

He turned back to the window, and his gaze looked at the Underworld Sky.

No thoughts flowed through his mind as he looked at the Underworld Sky.

He felt… at peace.

He wanted to maintain this state for as long as possible since he knew that this might be his last moment of peace.

The cold wind blew unto Corey's face, and his eyes flickered as he looked at a particular direction.

There was nothing there, but Corey's gaze brightened slightly, then a few seconds later, it dimmed.

He shook his head softly, then he released a soft sigh.

"I'm going to the Evolution Center. It might take… a long time before I come out."

Corey said, and without waiting for a response from Rosa, his figure vanished.

Rosa looked at Corey's previous position with a surprised expression.

She was surprised that Corey was proficient in a spatial skill.

But when she thought about his ability to sense the location of the portal, her surprise died down.

She was not worried about Corey taking the tier promotion test since she knew that Corey's foundation was extremely solid.

It was highly possible that Corey would get an exceptional result in his tier promotion trial. Rosa walked away from the room, and her eyes moved to the multiple objects she had destroyed in her haste to getting to Corey's room.

Some of the objects were extremely valuable and they belonged to Divine!

Divine would definitely be livid if he saw the conditions of those objects.

Rosa's lips twitched.

'Shit. Cap is definitely going to be angry.'

Standing in front of a a singular, resplendent structure adorned entirely in lustrous gold was a male with a pair of mesmerizing blue and violet eyes that seemed to hold the dreams and nightmares of the countless individuals in the vast universe.

Despite its single-story design, this architectural masterpiece radiated an air of majesty, and grandeur unmatched by any other edifice.

This grand golden building was the Evolution Center.

The Evolution Center which was intricately crafted with ornate patterns and motifs, glimmered elegantly under the bright Sky of the Underworld.

Golden vines crawled along its walls, symbolizing growth and transformation. On some parts of the golden walls were murals which depicted figures in states of evolution.

Corey took his time as he observed the structure of the Evolution Center. The last time he came to an Evolution Center, he just entered without observing the design, details, and structure of the grand building.

Cough

A minute passed, and a deep cough resounded in his mind.

Corey's pupils shook, and he gazed at the source of the cough. action

"How long do you plan on standing there?"

"What are you here for?"

A deep and gruff voice echoed, and Corey's gaze landed on a figure who was clad in a full body golden armor. The only thing missing was his helmet which was in his hands.

The figure stood before the golden gates of the Evolution Center, and his role could be inferred directly from this.

He was the guard that was placed at the Evolution Center of the inner area of the city of sin.

"I want to take the tier promotion test."

Corey's voice was filled with a strange calm as he replied the guard who had the ability to kill him with a flick of his finger.

The guard frowned as he noticed Corey's tier. The Evolution Center in the inner area was meant for the residents of the inner area, and from Corey's power level, he was sure that Corey was not an inner resident.

Living in the inner area as a tier 1 was akin to suicide no matter what your backing was in the Underworld.

What was the use of backing if a mentally deranged tier 3 decided to kill a tier 1 just because he felt like.

Would the tier 1's backing bring him back to life?

Corey knew this, and without waiting for the guard to say anything, he brought out a golden card which was given to him by Divine.

The golden card was given to him by Divine, and it was basically a pass for Corey to use the Evolution Center.

The guard raised his brows as he looked at the golden card.

He knew how difficult and expensive it was to get the golden card. And, he was surprised that somebody would spend that much on a tier 1.

Corey also knew the amount, and he had no idea why Divine would spend such an amount on him.

But, he didn't care.

Since it was useful, he would use it.

The golden card flew from Corey's hand to the front of the guard. Using an unseen force, the guard tore the card into two, then he stepped aside without saying anything.

Though, his indication was clear.

Corey could enter.

Corey looked at the golden gates, and he walked towards the gate. He pushed the gate, and the guard raised his brows slightly when he noticed the ease at which Corey pushed to the gate.

What most didn't know was that the gates of the evolution center was the beginning of the tier promotion trial.

For Corey to push the gates with ease meant that Corey's foundation was solid.

BAM!

The gates slammed shut after Corey passed through the gates, and the guard resumed his duty by standing in front of the gates.

'I wonder when my shift would be over.'

The guard thought impatiently

(Inside The Evolution Center)

Since this was not Corey's first time inside an evolution center, Corey did not bother wasting his time by looking around.

He directly sat on the ground, exhaled and inhaled multiple times with his eyes closed.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes, and a determined glint appeared in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he brought out the finger, and the space in the Evolution Center trembled.
