684 Void Vortex (1/2)
Joshua had been flying for over dozens of hours
In the Void, speed and distance alone were less What separated worlds were sihboring worlds were not in proxi in coordinates As for torlds faraway from each other, it was essentially a tremendous difference in coordinates
Therefore, speed is not required to move from one coordinate to another—level of ability was needed instead
The higher the level of ability, the greater the energy output and in turn one could h di ay and spirit, ascertaining and shi+fting one's own direatly in the co velocity in vacuuhtspeed—in other words, thirty thousand kilometers per second, he would be able to displace coordinates of several worlds
”Why not use the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds?”
Karlis's will had kept co with Joshua The Steel Python told the warrior aboutthe survivors of Grandia: they were now fars sprout acrossover therand harvest come autumn
Apart from that, the many survivors froan to spread out over various reaches on Karlis in search for new places to settle Like young trees that were branching out, they were exploring the new albeit barren world
Karlis the Steel Python felt es flourished and —the Flaave it had been rootless duckweed that would be utterly extinguished in decades, but now, the once dying world of Karlis regained vigor thanks to signs of life, slowly recovering for the better
Noever, it did not keep exclai the warrior doubtfully about anotherto is extreh the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds… It isn't efficient to h dimensional turbulences and the Great Mana Tide itself, or perhaps you intend to train your ability to h the Void?”
”Not quite,” Joshua answered briskly ”I don't do s… I have my plans”
And in truth, the warrior did
The reason he did not use the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds and directly h the Void was not to hone his mobility in that space, but instead to examine the density of 'Steel Authority' scattered amidst the Great Mana Tide
Before Joshua left Mycroft, the world had seen the rise of 'es' and 'successors', populations with unique abilities While their abilities werea few days, there was no question that the Steel Shards in the Great Mana Tide had washed into the world once y… While the situation at present was controllable for the various factions, what should they do if there were more evokers ielded inconceivable ability?
For example, there were abilities where the users could create ice or produce head without liht after they surface, or that it actually was not unlith, it would certainly raise chaos within the world if it kept appearing
Therefore, the warrior planned to use the tis in real-ti Steel Shards from the Great Mana Tide beside him and infer about the secrets behind them… perhaps they were shattered worlds from the heart of the Multiverse just as his predicted, but that requires proof before he could warn the people of Mycroft and get the world to stay alert
And that plan bore considerable fruits
”In the dozens of hours advancing in the Void, I detected over two thousand completely different Steel Particles… this means that, on a conservative scale, over hundreds of worlds destroyed”
In flight, Joshua spread and looked towards his palathered into a chaotic starry cloud, slowly revolving as if to forrave even as he stared upon those shattered Steel Particles, and there was no reason why he should not be—ould have the gall to laugh knowing that over hundreds, or perhaps thousands of worlds were destroyed? After all, he had not even come across a thousand worlds before!
”Most are basic Steel Shards that control elements such as flame, water, tempest, and earth, while a rare few are related to spatiality, psionic or other domains like transformation… It's fortunate that those would not affect the world too ical beasts would incidentally awaken otherwise Have to warn the others when I get back to hunt such awakened enchanted creatures”
That was the only thing that he could be pleased about Due to the attributes of Steel Shards and the Flaence would not attain those gifts, with only a rare few able to attain the unique powers froe populations of superpowered cats and dogs, or any si that we are heading to a small world… What is it actually like, and how extensive is its limit over supernatural powers? How should I face the enemy?”
That question had suddenly crossed Joshua's mind when the Steel Python mentioned that 'we are quite close to our destination' ”What are the so-called lih their spirit link ”Could it be that I can't use powers that exceed a certain boundary?”
”That's not what it means” Karlis shook its head in response ”The limit refers to the world itself, not you… what I meant with 'a sh to overstretch it, causing it to burst apart As a Legendary champion comparable to a Void Behemoth, you could easily offset the balance of that world utterly when you unleash your poithout restraint, causing it to self-destruct
”Fragile Order could never resist greater Order It is that world which could not withstand the advent of your full power, and not you being restrained by it”
”Is that so” Joshua could not help but sigh, before adding uninterestedly, ”If that's the case, wouldn't that world be incapable of supporting the presence of a powerful enemy? That's dull… Then why did it—the World Will—ask for aid?”
”Its current circumstances are very complicated that the World Will alone could not solve it Hmmm… It's difficult to answer that question, but we are about to arrive—it would be better if you discussed it with the requester”
Karlis appeared to struggle for an explanation then In the first place, it was just contacting,aid to other World Wills encountering adverse circumstances: It only knew that a world needed the help of an outsider, and illing to prepare a handsome reward, which hy it contacted Joshua
Still, the warrior did not mind that It was fine if he did not have any powerful foes—he could simply run a lap around the Void and hunt some Void Behemoths after he handled that world's issue, and it would be best if he could find Leviathan: Having encountered it twice but not quite finishi+ng it off was rather disgruntling
At that very thought, Joshua kept displacing his own coordinates in the Void His speed was so swift that he left worlds after worlds behind hiion further away from the world of Kronos, which was actually in the depths of the Abyss
In the Void that was painted a lustrous white by the Great Mana Tide, there were distinct waves that sent shudders to hearts—it was the trace of a chale ray flashi+ng in silver that wrought the ripples a heavy clusters of white shrouds and energy tide It headed straight ahead, bypassing worlds
It was in thatat full power, sensed that soht
”There are feorlds… Moreover, Steel Shards… the density of Steel Particles is rising?”
