Before they entered the Pyramid, the soldiers prepared tents to store their belongings that they would not need inside the Pyramid. They also put other casual items such as a change of clothes and others.
After preparing the items needed to enter the pyramid, Marzuki and his team went to join the soldiers from the other two countries.
When they were all gathered, Alan, who had been appointed as the leader of the guard group, distributed bags containing the tools that the researchers would use later.
After distributing the bags, it was finally ti to enter the pyramid.
Even though the entrance to the pyramid looks small from the outside, when they enter the pyramid, it turns out that the room inside is quite large.
Once they were inside, Alan ford a formation to explore the pyramid, with Alan and his team taking the front positions, the researchers walking in the middle, and the special units from Chile walking beside the research group, while Marzuki and his team walked at the very back, and each of the soldiers carried a bag filled with equipnt that would later be used by the researchers.
After exploring inside the pyramid for a while, nothing strange happened; their journey was very smooth until that point, it felt strange.
The atmosphere was also very quiet, all that could be heard were their footsteps.
Instead of feeling safe, Marzuki felt even more that sothing was strange.
His grip on his weapon tightened, and his feelings beca more and more uneasy.
But sure enough, after walking for a while longer, still nothing strange happened.
When they arrived in front of a very large stone gate with carvings filling the gate.
"Stop!"
Said Alan, who was in front, while raising his hand.
Instantly, everyone stopped; the head researcher from the United States and Chill, even Agus, stepped forward to approach the gate.
Seeing the carvings on the stone gate, the three of them imdiately took out a note, no one knows what the contents of the note were except for the three of them.
"... Aha- Ahahaha~ this is, this is... Aha- Ahahah~ I was right, this is the real deal"
Said the head researcher from the United States while laughing.
"... You see this, Diago, Agus? We are right all of this ti; this pyramid really has sothing about the Void Century...
Said the head researcher from Arica to his two colleagues, then looked at Alan.
... Alan, get out all the tools, and do everything you can to open this gate!"
Hearing the order from the head researcher from the United States, Alan imdiately ordered the group to lower their bags to the ground.
*Click!*
However, before they had ti to open their bags, they all stopped because they heard the *Click* sound; the sound was quite loud, and even Marzuki, who was behind, also heard the *Click* sound.
After the voice was heard, everyone imdiately fell silent and looked towards the voice, which ca from the stone gate.
"... Did you hear that?"
Asked Alan, and all the mbers of his team, nodded their heads.
Alan imdiately got up and looked at the gate, then he imdiately noticed sothing was changing at the stone gate.
And sure enough, he realized that the gate moved slightly, it's not only Alan who realized this, but the three head researchers also realized this.
The three chief researchers looked at each other; although there was a sense of confusion in their eyes, there was also a high sense of curiosity, so without thinking twice about what moved the door, the three of them imdiately ordered the soldiers to co forward.
"...all of you, push this stone gate open"
Hearing this, all the soldiers present lower all their belongings to the ground, and even Marzuki and his team do that and then move forward to the stone gate.
"ALRIGHT, GUYS!! ON THE COUNT OF THREE, LET'S PUSH THIS GATE DOWN!!"
Alan shouted and then started counting.
"ONE... TWO... THREE, PUSH!!"
With Alan's signal, they all simultaneously pushed the stone gate, and slowly but surely, the stone gate opened.
With the stone gate being opened, a wind ca out from inside the room behind the stone gate from who knows where because, inside the room, there was no light at all.
With the gate already open, the researchers imdiately passed through the gate while shining the flashlights they had prepared.
Even the soldiers also entered the room, each turning on their own flashlights.
What they saw inside the large hall with minimal light was a giant statue that resembled a faceless human. The statue had eight wings and six arms. Each of the four hands of the statue held a different weapon, naly, a sword, a shield, a bow, and a spear, While both hands of the statue held a stone tablet with ancient writings.
Seeing the stone inscription, the researchers' eyes sparkled as if they had seen the most precious thing in the world.
"Alan... Alan... take all the equipnt that is outside"
Said the head researcher from the United States to Alan without taking his eyes off the stone tablet.
Alan just nodded his head, then turned to all the soldiers there, including Marzuki and his team.
"... Alright guys, let's go get our thing outside"
Alan said, then intended to walk out of the large hall.
*Click!*
But before they could take a step, the *Click* sound was heard again.
"... Shit!"
Alan said, then imdiately dropped the flashlight in his hand and imdiately ran towards the door, which moved by itself to close.
Not only Alan who was like this, even Marzuki did the sa thing. Everyone in the hall, including the researchers, imdiately panicked when they saw this.
*Bang!*
The gate closed so quickly, it was as if the stone gate was not made of stone at all with how quickly it closed.
"DAMN!!"
Alan shouted, for not having ti to get out through the stone gate.
*Swoosh!*
After the stone gate closed, the wind blew again, once again from who knows where it ca from.
Everyone in the hall fell silent, but the strange things didn't stop there.
Another strange thing is that the torch attached to the wall suddenly lights up by itself, but the fire from the torch does not have the color of a normal fire but is blue.
With the torch lit, the hall, which was originally dark, imdiately beca completely bright.
After that, finally, they could all see clearly what was inside the great hall.
"... Holy shit!... What the hell?"
Alan said as he looked around the hall, with a sense of awe and yet there was also a sense of fear mixed in.
After being able to see clearly what was inside the hall, everyone in the hall was amazed by the carvings carved on each side of the hall's walls.
This ti even the soldiers could understand what the carvings on the wall were trying to convey.
Every researcher who was there imdiately approached the wall to record what was on the wall; even Marzuki also approached the wall.
Seeing the carvings on the wall, Marzuki could recognize so of the carvings on the wall.
The carvings on the wall depict sothing like a war, but not a war in general, which only involves humans, the war that Marzuki saw in the carvings involved creatures other than humans.
The carvings reach all the way to the ceiling of the hall, which is directly above the faceless statue.
But what was carved there was not a picture of a war like the one on the wall, but a symbol, a symbol that even if Marzuki didn't really understand what it was, Marzuki at least knew that the symbol was a symbol that was similar to a magic circle.
However, Marzuki, who was busy looking at the Magic Circle, saw sothing else that made him doubt his own vision. Marzuki saw that one of the hands of the statue that was holding the sword was slightly moving.
'... Did the statue just move?'
Marzuki thought, but seeing what happened next, Marzuki's eyes widened in shock because the statue's hand really moved.
"!!!"
Seeing that, Marzuki's eyes imdiately focused on the person near the statue, that person was Agus, and the two other head researchers who were not like the other researchers who were busy with the carvings on the wall, the three of them were busy looking at the stone inscription that had ancient writing while occasionally writing sothing down in their notebooks, as if they were trying to interpret every word on the stone inscription.
"Shit... WATCH OUT!!!"
Marzuki shouted as loud as he could, this attracted the attention of the others, who imdiately looked at him, even Alan who was also looking at the carving, had to turn his head towards Marzuki, and when he saw that Marzuki was looking at the three head researchers.
"Wha-"
Alan, who wanted to ask Marzuki, didn't have ti because Marzuki imdiately ran towards the three head researchers with a panicked face.
Seeing this, Alan began to feel that sothing was wrong, and that's when he realized that the statue's hand holding the sword was moving toward the three researchers' heads.
"!!!"
Alan also panicked and imdiately ran towards the three head researchers.
*SWOOSH!*
The sound of a sharp object cutting through the air was heard, and then...
*BOOM!!!*
A huge explosion was heard in the originally quiet Great Hall.
And suddenly the silence returned.
