Chapter 547 - So Close, Yet So Far
Chapter 547 – So Close, Yet So Far
When Jason left Old Sadron's shop, he felt much better. He had purchased the tome and got to know one of the most powerful citizens inside the Olympus federation.
There shouldn't be a single being at the 2nd threshold of the Prismar stage in the Olympus federation because it would indicate that one had created one rotating crystal enveloping three small solidified prismarine crystals.
Through the rotating crystal, the mana stored inside the mana core would be consistently moved, circulated through the mana core, reinforcing it.
At the same time, the mana strengthened the entire body as well as the mana core's capabilities.
Jason assumed that there were only the three Overlords and at most one or two more beasts with that kind of strength.
But that was not something he could say for sure.
Furthermore, there was the possibility of a temporary world bridge manifesting every once in a while.
As such, new, stronger beasts could emerge at any time.
Jason would love to change this because it could endanger mankind and the Olympus federation which might come into contact with each other soon.
However, in order to prevent world bridges from emerging, Argos' protection wall had to be fortified, which was something that had to be done manually, and at the planet core, in the worst-case scenario.
His knowledge had yet to reach the basics and Jason had to figure out how to destroy the world bridges without allowing them to be reconstructed once again.
The best scenario would be to terminate all world bridges, except one that would allow anyone on Argos to leave and enter the planet to one particular place that might be some sort of intersection with other world bridges.
That was the best possible scenario Jason had in mind, and something he hoped to make possible in the future.
Unfortunately, this goal was still well beyond his reach at the moment, and Jason assumed that he would have to reach the peak of the Lique stage to make something like that possible.
Due to his unique condition, he shouldn't need to be at the Prismar stage, and one would only be required to look at his Emperor Eyes.
Every single rune was visible to his eyes, and he had already been able to destroy one world bridge!
Though the reason for this had been a different matter altogether, in the end, only the result counted!
Several days passed as he flew in the direction at which the world bridge leading to the broken world was located.
He had more than enough time before New Year's eve when the liberation tournament would start, and Jason was already eager to fight against those prodigies at the 10th Lique stage!
Jarid had already aroused his interest, and he assumed that the young Ilian would grow much stronger too, but Jason was not sure whether or not they would be able to fight again.
Fighting against the God's Children was not really something Jason was interested in because he wanted to represent mankind as a unit, and not fight with others needlessly.
However, if he were to be matched against the God's Children, Jason wouldn't hold back.
He wanted to obtain the lesser origin flame crystal after all!
Advancing Solaris was amongst the most important tasks he had right now, and if the lesser origin flame was what he needed, Jason would get it by all means.
It might not seem important to others, but Jason knew that he couldn't make the Flers wait any longer!
There were too many uncertain factors he had to take into account and he felt bad about them being enslaved, while he was becoming stronger.
The only reassuring fact for him was that they were being treated relatively well.
Jason was inching closer to the solution on how to destroy a simple soul contract, but he was missing the final piece.
Unbeknownst to himself, he had already found the answer he had been looking for.
It was directly in front of him, and something Jason was consistently using; the most obvious answer to everything.
At the same time, it was veiled and an answer that was too easy to be the answer to his problems!
That was also the reason why Jason couldn't comprehend and grasp it.
His mind was still preoccupied with the thought of rescuing the Flers and he didn't even realise that he had already emerged in the proximity of the world bridge.
Precisely, at the same moment, a voice transmission shook him out of his train of thoughts.
[I'm sorry for intruding on Sir's thoughts, but it is forbidden to fly in the surrounding area. If Sir wants to enter the broken world, please descend and follow the given instructions.
Alternately, either descend or follow the signs on the ground and take a detour.]
He chose the latter option and descended to the ground.
Using his Emperor Eyes, he scanned the surrounding two kilometers and the mana fluctuations of every living being in that radius.
As such, he could tell that the fortress that had suddenly emerged in front of him was not only veiled by illusionary magic circles but also protected by a huge garrison at the Prismar stage.
There were several hundred guards and Jason couldn't help but think that they were taking the defensive mechanism on the broken world bridge to a completely new level.
Jason found this great because it told him that the broken world might even be better than he had expected it to be!
The world bridge itself looked similar to the others he had seen through his Emperor Eyes before, and it were only the runes he assumed to be the destination coordinates that were interesting because they were changing every moment.
It was as if the destination was moving around, or to be precise the place they would land.
Apparently, the broken world was said to be exactly that, a broken piece of a world that had ceased to exist. Nobody knew how this had happened, or why this particular piece was still able to sustain itself, but it was flying through space.
At least, that was what others said.
However, according to the information Jason had obtained, it was different!
He didn't know if it was correct or not, but the broken world could also be a dimension constructed by someone else in order to accomplish something.
Everything was possible with enough strength and energy. As such, it was not unlikely that the existence of dimensions, created by other beings, was possible.
Despite taking interest in the moving coordinates, and wanting to know how it was possible for Argos to have naturally constructed a world bridge with the broken world, Jason just wanted to cultivate and train.
He had to become much stronger and the same applied to his soulbonds that were as eager as he was!
As such, Jason followed the instructions he received through the transmitted voice before it suddenly vanished and he spotted a tightly armored man from a winged race.
His visor was closed, and Jason could only see his green feathered wings without actively using his Emperor Eyes.
Unfortunately for the young man in front of him, Jason could see everything owing to the fact that the basic function of the emperor eyes was always activated!
The armor he wore had a concealment effect, but that didn't hinder Jason's sight.
The winged man approached him and Jason tried to appear unruffled as he took out the permission ticket he had obtained from the colosseum.
"Oh? It has been a long time since we had someone from the colosseum. That's quite interesting!…You must be quite strong."
The man who guarded the gates alone seemed to be in a dire need of talking to someone.
However, Jason didn't want to waste his time in chit-chat.
As such, he simply nodded his head which was noticed by the winged man, who could only sigh.
"Please don't create any trouble and follow the instructions, otherwise, we will use force to throw you out of the broken world, if necessary!"
This caused Jason to look at the winged man in doubt.
"You guys protect the inner part of the broken world too?"
At that moment, the man blurted out.
"Of course we do! Don't you know how many basic races at the 1st threshold of the Prismar stage enter the broken world through their world bridge, only to cultivate?"
This was something Jason hadn't known and it was fortunate that he was still wearing the silver mask.
'There are multiple world bridges? How many races are actually cultivating inside the broken world then??'
