239 Veda (2/2)

Wallace listened and weighed its advantages...

”Is that really all?”

It was too good to be true when Wallace realized how important it was.

[ Yes, that's all. You just have to avoid the problematic Celestials since they wouldn't care if you have that machine or not since they will still do what they want. ]

”Huh? What do you mean problematic?”

[ It means what it means, they are problematic. Oh, your Avalon here needed me. Bye! ]

Sigh~

They must be busy with something...

'Wait, can't it just multitask while helping Avalon? Tsk...'

Wallace shakes off this thought as he was still undecided about whether to take that machine with him. The problem was that it can be detected by Celestials making him unable to hide with them in case he encountered a problematic one.

But he suddenly thought of a simple solution.

”That's right, I can just store that with my Spatial Bag... That way, I can even use it for experimentation once I returned... Even those Celestials should be incapable of detecting objects inside my dimensional storage space.'

As he thought of this, he voiced out his opinion to everyone.

”Wait, I can just enter by myself... There is no danger inside. I will just look for something...”

”Look for something? Have you been to this place before?”

”Eh? No... I just sensed something. Don't worry, I'll be quick...”

Wallace quickly entered the building leaving the group behind to guard the surface.

The building was three-story on the surface but it has underground floors. The lower floors seem to have collapsed already so it was impossible to reach the lowest floor where Veda's machine was located.

It means that he can only use his Void Phase to reach that place without troubles.

The place was extremely dark so Wallace had to use his Divine Sense to survey the surroundings.

”Lowest floor, huh...”

Now that Wallace entered the building, he realized that although no living creatures in the surroundings, there was some sort of poison leaking from the floors below...

Unfortunately, Wallace didn't have tools to detect it and he only realized it using his improved Divine Sense.

But Wallace couldn't entirely determine what type of poison it was and even Avalon was helpless if it doesn't have any equipment to use.

”Is it some kind radiation?”

He was unsure what it was but it was not important anymore. He activated his Astral Core and covered himself with a unique energy. He had a bad feeling about the poison and he felt that his Mana Shell would not be good enough.

As soon as he reached the lowest floor using his Void Phasing Steps, he noticed that the place has thicker of that poisonous gas.

'Veda didn't mention that the machine has this side effects. It must have come from different source...'

It didn't take long for Wallace to see a small oval shaped machine with a size of an adult's head carefully placed in a glass case.

It was pulsating!

The object was glowing with a white light from time to time like it has a life.

”This...”

Wallace was about to approach the object but he suddenly realized that even his Astral Energy was starting to be corroded by the ”radiation” in the surroundings. He had to quickly take away that machine!

He swiftly vanished and touched the glass case before it disappeared on his hands.

Now that it was stored properly, he had to quickly leave the place.

On the other hand, as soon as he took the machine with him, a nearby existence sensed its sudden disappearance and now hurrying to reach the place.
