Chapter 205: Planes and Netherans(2) (1/2)

Countless information weaved around in her head as she tried to create a perfect picture of the situation.

Instantly, a bulb lit up in her head.

She got it!

”If you are able to see it, it is most likely the plane has started encroaching on the mundane plane...…..to be more exact, this continent. However, it is more intense in the Weeping Town,” Kaleyx spilled out.

”An encroachment, you say?” eyed Jake.

”Yes. It's another stage higher than an overlap. It is what happens when a plane takes over another plane. If I were to use an analogy, it would be like a thin sheet of paper totally enveloping another thin sheet of paper.”

Jake used his brain to find out the rest of the information, ”So, it is caused by the increase in nether energy, right? Weeping Town had the highest concentration of nether energy, even higher than locations with nether rifts. But if that's the case, then the encroachment would have happened a long time ago.”

He trailed his hand on his desk as he voiced his thoughts, ”The nether plane is unheard of. The fact that I have no knowledge of it says it all.”

He wasn't boasting when he said that.

Jake had absorbed all the knowledge in the Aztec library. Bith the normal ones and the hidden ones.

His brain was filled with all sorts of secret pieces of information. His mind comprehended the passed-down mysteries of the planet.

If even he wasn't aware of the plane of nether, he reckoned that only a handful of people would know.

”The reason for it being unheard of is because it's new. Think of it. If what you say is true, then the connection between the nether realm and the mundane plane was a rigid two-party connection. However, after a period of time, a third party would have actualized…..a middle-man!” analyzed Jake.

”The plane of nether….,” agreed Kaleyx.

She smiled as she went to the window side.

Taking a look at the strange blue clouds, she hummed, ”The sun fell. The sky flipped. Tempests of lightning rampaged the land. The earth cracked. An old man watched as the stars abandoned them. He said as God's Judgement descended on them, ”This is truly the start of a new era”.”

Jake trailed on her words, ”....the start of a new era, huh?”

He had heard those two words a few times.

Despite understanding what it meant, it still felt strange to him.

”Yes, a new era. The plane of nether was formed in this new era. After a long time, it was born.....along with other secrets,” said Kaleyx.

Her eyes twinkled as she thought of many things.

”Ultimately, we will have to keep up. Nothing is the same as it was. We are proof of that,” ambiguously said Kaleyx.

Despite her words being vague, Jake understood.

They were deviants according to Heaven. It wasn't hard for them to know what a deviant was.

It was a being that was unaccounted for by Heaven.

Jake was an outsider. Kaleyx was also an outsider!

...….

The two of them entered a period of silence.

They suddenly understood the dangers that surrounded them.

The idea of the plane of nether encroaching on the mundane plane would surely affect them.

It was not just them….. The entire planet was involved. No continent was spared.

”If you were to estimate, how long would it take for the encroachment to be complete?” Jake narrowed his eyes at Kaleyx.

He wasn't worried about anyone but himself. He needed to know the horrendous time limit he was on.

”Oh, about that. It would still take long, about a few more decades. However,…..” trailed Kaleyx.

Jake helped her finish her sentence based on his calculations, ”--However, that is not the main problem, is it? I was able to interact with the plane of nether. Give it two or three more years and I would be able to easily peer through it. Give it another one or two years and I would not even be in control of which plane I walk. It would be a kind of sleepwalking. One moment, I'm on the mundane plane. The next moment, I'm intruding on the plane of nether.”

To Kalyex, his vivid description was possibly the most accurate she would ever hear.

She smiled at him, ”The connection between the mundane realm and the plane of nether would grow forever,m making it easy for netherans to switch between the two planes. It would be faster than teleportation. A secret backdoor in case things goes bad for them. Think of it, the ability to move anywhere in your domain!”

”....It would give them the advantage in any battle. It's quite scary. It will even be scarier if it is what 'they' were aiming at,” realized Jake.

Kaleyx eyed him, ”Necro?”
