365 Perfect Comprehension of Spatial Essence (1/2)

Daniel's planet was currently floating in the empty space right next to Naturae. In exchange for saving their planet, the One With Nature faction had decided to allow Daniel a passage to wherever he wanted to go within the territory of the universal government. Being an ancient faction, they had obtained the right to use the teleportation artifacts in a time where not many were created, so, there were many limitations. This right was obtained not due to their power, but through seniority.

The way the universal government allowed for factions to travel through their territory, was by forming massive spatial formations inside every single galaxy they discovered. These formations would work as beacons that would allow people to teleport from one galaxy to another, reducing the otherwise extremely long travel, to a matter of seconds.

Unfortunately, the artifacts granted to the factions by the universal government had a limited number of uses, and the number decreased faster depending on how far the owner wanted to go. For example, a teleportation between adjacent galaxies would only consume a single use, while teleporting further than that, would require more.

The One With Nature faction, now amongst the weakest factions within the universal government, had a limited number of teleportations left within their own artifacts. Their lack of power or interest in competing with other factions had forced them to thebottom of the list of factions, causing the universal government to become uninterested about their support, and by extent, not deserving of the investment of new intergalactic artifacts.

Daniel was now sitting on a chair inside a comfortable looking room. The lighting was feeble, and produced by a flickering magical white flame that quietly danced in a fireplace. In front of him was a bed covered in a beast's pelt, and on it, was Heimart. He was lying on his back with his eyes closed, still stuck inside his own mind in an attempt to recover the damage that the torture he had gone through had done to his personality.

He had spent the past three hours in this room, and after each minute went by, he felt his blood boil hotter than before. In his mind, was a large window on which was written Daniel's new quest. What was depicted in this window, were the details regarding the elimination of the person who had turned so many people from normal warriors, to bloodthirsty bandits.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried, not a single one of his thoughts had been able to formulate an option that could allow him to kill this individual without having to gain a massive amount of power. That was extremely odd for Daniel's system, which in theory, would be able to read any eventuality in the distant or close future, and formulate the quickest path for him to take.

Now, however, what the system told him was that if he wanted to kill this person, he deeded to be stronger than him. Otherwise, there would be absolutely no way he would succeed.

Nevertheless, he had been able to learn what level of power his new enemy was, as well as where he would be in a certain period in the future, and how to kill him.

To Daniel's surprise, this man was one of Iewah's children, which similarly to one of Sewah's sisters who could control people's emotions into doing her bidding, or his brother, who could cause his enemies to bow down to his sight as if he was their ruler, he was able to affect the mind in a more direct way. The mind of other people was his playground, and he did not even require to move from his hiding place to have a massive army willing to do his bidding.

Due to this man's power, Daniel had realized that, while all unique, the powers of Iewah's children could be divided into two categories. One allowed one to develop a person's power through their unique abilities, just like the Swordsman, the Merchant, the Elementalist, and the Shadow.

However, there was a second type of systems that allowed Iewah's children to increase their strengths with numbers, just like the beasts tamed by the tamer, the subjects of the Ruler, the loving followers of Sewah's sister, Daniel's group, and finally, the brainwashed people of this new enemy.. A warrior known simply as ”Mindhive”.

Daniel was unsure of the exact power of each of these individuals, but since he had heard of the long lasting feud between the Swordsman and the Tamer, and he knew that while the swordsman fought alone, the tamer used her beasts as support, he had assumed that those whose powers were focused on their persona must be extremely powerful individuals.

His guess was not completely false, however, the way one used the system they were given was much more important than the system's abilities.. After all, Daniel's help had created numerous beings who had created numerous young dragons who, with time and luck, could grow into being some of the most powerful individuals in history.

”Staying here won't help him.” Said a voice that came directly from within Daniel's own mind.

Daniel knew that nothing of what happened was his fault. However, he was the one that had taken these young men and women away from their lives. He had offered a life of adventures that, now, had brought Heimart into this state.

As these thoughts came and went into Daniel's mind, Aeron said, ”I have searched all of his memories.. Each one of them. I could not find one where he was happier than the time he spent with his family, and your group. You haven't taken him away from a peaceful life, they have chosen it.”

Daniel remained quiet,but there was no need for him to speak for Aeron to hear the question.

”You could drive them all away.. They might leave peacefully, or die the very next day.” Responded Aeron to a question that was never asked.

Annoyed by Aeron's response, Daniel said, ”If you are here to annoy me, the-”

He was interrupted by Aeron's voice, which had appeared from out of nowhere, and without emanating a single wisp of spatial essence, and said out loud, ”Or you can become stronger, and deter danger before it can even think of coming closer to you or any of your friends.”

Once again, Daniel became quiet for a few moments, then shook his thoughts away, and asked, ”What is it?” ”

”The old man wants to talk to you.” Responded Aeron before disappearing.

The moment Aeron disappeared, Daniel turned to look at Heimart, on whose face a faint smile seemed to have appeared, and said, ”You better wake up soon. Your wife will kill me if you don't.” He then disappeared.
