Chapter 599: Poison (1/2)

Raven woke up at the latter half of his stay at the Crown Space.

Upon opening his eyes, his gaze could give one an impression of ancientness. It was as if Raven was somebody who had seen ages flashed before his very eyes that nothing surprises him anymore. His body released an archaic air as well.

All of this was due to the World Tree that had sprout within his Inner Cosmos. At the end of his state of enlightenment, everything came rushing back to him, allowing him to re-organize himself properly.

Raven's view of the world changed once more. Due to his recent enhancement, he couldn't help but feel a bit omnipotent. He felt as if nothing could escape his gaze, as if he could see through every secrets the world has to offer.

It was a peculiar feeling, something that wouldn't stay for long but he still reveled in it.

”My Inner Cosmos stabilized...but it looks a bit weird now.” Raven murmured.

Within his Inner Cosmos, a truly peculiar sight could be seen. The swirling cosmos still moved in a rather mesmerizing manner yet at it's very center, there is no core anymore. Instead, there was a lone sprout with one green leaf and one pure white leaf replacing it. Typically, this sprout shouldn't even be visible considering overall size of the cosmos, but this is the sprout of the World Tree...

Although Raven haven't seen an actual World Tree before, according to his research they can grow up to an unbelievable size. Well, the World Tree could truly connect worlds through it's branches and could reflect the infinite realities at it's leaves, then it's size should be one of the things that Raven should consider the least.

Still, for a massive sprout to be situated at the very core of a cosmos, paints a very strange image indeed.

”Well, nothing I could do about that. Plus, it isn't so bad.” He murmured once more, ”Nurturing a world tree within my body huh? Sounds fun.”

Raven inspected his Inner Cosmos closely still and found out that the overall quality of his Cosmic Energy rose up once more. Well, that's just only one of the benefits he receive out of the World Tree Seed blooming.

Setting aside all of the insights he absorbed from it, the World Tree Sprout also allowed Raven to use his Spacetime Laws more smoothly.

Right now, if he wanted to use Temporal Scrying to scan the past or future of a certain object or location, he no longer was required to make contact with it. All he needs to do is to stare at it and everything he needed to know will be visible to him.

He could also now travel even further back to either the past or the present. At maximum, he could return at least 3 months to the past or future. In fact his influence over the Trinity of Realities became even stronger thanks to the seed sprouting.

Even without moving, he could send himself to either the past, present or future, to avoid certain events if he needed to. For example, should a meteor fall down right on top of him, he could simply send his body to either the past of future to completely avoid it.

Since the meteor will occur at the present, if he sent his body to the past, he could completely come out of it unscathed. In fact, he might even be able to completely deny that reality by altering the past according to his own liking. Changing the past will also alter the events of the present, completely changing the reality as he once saw it.

This is just a simple application example for his current prowess. Adding the fact that his Spacetime Domain became larger as well, then his options would greatly vary.

Once he was done inspecting his gains, Raven stood up from his seat and did some stretching. He remained at a meditative pose for more or less three months straight, and he could feel that his bones were a bit stiff. Therefore he decided to do some stretching just to regain his mobility.

Once he got the blood flowing, Raven decided to take it easy and rest for a bit. He rewarded himself by eating something and sleeping for three days straight. He could see what's going on in the real world so he's not worried at all.

The War Gods were still trapped inside the trial gate so he still has some time for himself. Move waves of beasts were appearing left and right but the madness rune was still active so he didn't have to worry about them.

Since he had no burdens right now, then he could really take his time and rest easy.

Resting allows him to complete the stabilization of his state so it's necessary for him to do so.

Once he was properly rested and had completely recovered. Raven made the effort of replenishing his lost energies. Yes, even through his Inner Cosmos became larger and it's quality rose up by several notches thanks to the influence of the World Tree Sprout, he's still missing a good amount of it thanks to the aftermath of the seed blooming.
