770 New World 2 (1/2)
Chapter 770: New World 2
As Garen waited for the best moment to leap out of the surface, his body, which was in the form of a black blob, shrunk slowly and became much smaller than before.
Finally, when he was a small distance from the hole.
Splash!!
Within the crisp clear sound of the water splashing, a black shadow emerged out from the river and flew directly towards the hole.
With a thud, the shadow was absorbed into the hole. The green river of the Mother River below reached out a whip of water which danced about for a few moments. Once it realized the target had escaped, it collapsed and everything was calm once more.
***************
Garen jumped into the hole and he felt that he had jumped into a layer of black, sticky and oily substance.
There was no light or anything around him at all.
Garen could sense that his surrounding area spanned hundreds of meters apart, but there was nothing in here at all. There was only him moving forward at high speed.
It seemed like an area where there was no light nor gravity. Garen could only feel that he was moving at a very high speed.
”Luckily the Mother Stream's corrosion doesn't exist here, so I should be able to last for a while,” Garen looked around carefully but he didn't notice anything but himself. The sticky sensation previously had disappeared. Perhaps he had gotten used to it.
He felt that he was transmigrating in a mysterious tunnel.
Perhaps ten days have passed, maybe twenty days, it was so long to the point that Garen had lost track, and he had been traveling forward this whole time.
Debris started to appear in the surroundings. He seemed to be inside a very long black passage and cracks started to appear around him. What made it strange was that he could see the light of the stars through these cracks.
Thud!
Suddenly everything in front of him was empty and Garen seemed to have been ejected out of some sort of a tunnel. His surrounding lit up instantly and he was ejected into a beautiful nebula.
Garen felt that there was a fiery hot giant fireball behind him as the light radiated in all directions.
”That's a Guidance Star…” he recognized the name of the fiery golden star.
The Guidance Star behind him had covered almost his entire field of vision. Magma was moving about lazily on the surface. Dark red magma was crawling on the surface like a worm and there were blinding golden geysers gushing at other parts of the surface as well.
Garen, who was in the shape of a black ball, looked around to see densely packed stars blinking everywhere. Some of the light blue stars glowed faintly while some old and mysterious looking ones were stationary as he moved about.
Garen noticed that the black tunnel that he was ejected out from had disintegrated after maintaining its shape for a short while.
He didn't know what that was but it was most likely the warp gates extended by the Mother River. It connected all the universe's worlds together. It was something Black Sethe had casually mentioned before as if it was common knowledge.
If it was the Mother River's warp gate, then it would most likely be impossible for him to return. This was because these warp gates usually lasted for a very short amount of time. It was short-lived and would pierce through many parts of the spacetime continuum, but would be automatically disintegrated by the universe's force. It was a once in a lifetime occurrence.
When he had reached this space, he had no idea how long he would have to wait for the Mother River's warp gate to open once more. According to the Warlocks' knowledge, there were theoretically an infinite amount of worlds in this universe as the universe would die and being reborn endlessly. It could extend to countless worlds and even a minute difference would mean that it was another world as well.
Garen floated among the stars quietly and soon could no longer sense the Mother River's warp gate behind him. The radiation from the Guidance Star pushed him forward towards the center of his field of vision but the direction slightly deviated.
According to the Warlocks' research, the Mother River only existed outside the living realm. This was because the Mother River's water was made out of liquid aura and aura was made from the living being's spiritual essence. This meant that new beings could be born there.
It was very much confirmed that living beings would exist near the Mother River.
Unsurprisingly, he immediately sensed a huge blue planet in the direction where he was heading to. It was as if the planet suddenly decided to appear in his senses.
Garen passed through a white barrier-like protective net and landed directly on the planet. What accompanied him by his sides were large amounts of debris. He seemed to have caught up to a large scale meteor shower…
***************
”...Mother Planet's invisible defensive net has detected an abnormally huge meteor shower today. According to the researcher, the largest meteor has a radius of 2.1cm and the smallest one is just a few mm wide. They will be burnt up by the atmosphere and there would be no debris from the meteor shower…”
”You should eat more because you'll need to go to school again tomorrow.”
