Chapter 995 Cutting through Space
Chapter 995 Cutting through Space
Jason could already estimate what the Queen was about to do, but he didn't think that it was really possible.
Yet, getting his act together, he understood a bit late that impossible was not something that truly existed, not for beings such as her.
Everything was possible, and the only issue was that some things had yet to be explored, meaning that the solution to an otherwise impossible task had yet to be found!
With that in mind, he scanned the crescent spatial blade intently, not leaving out a single detail.
If what Jason thought would happen was really about to occur, he wouldn't want to wait to learn it from her after being nice to the Queen.
Instead, he would want to understand and replicate it immediately.
This might be just wishful thinking, but he could, at the very least, try it out!
With that in mind, he inserted moonlight mana and divine energy inside the Emperor Eyes, clearly running his eyes through the complex structure of the spatial blade.
However, it was just a moment later that the spatial blade disappeared.
It was as if the crescent blade had never existed in the first place, astonishing Jason, while his attention diverted to the Black Dragon again.
The True Dragon had already noticed that they had moved above it, causing it to spit out its flame.
At the same time, it catapulted itself towards them, while manifesting and shooting several darkness spears at them.
Yet, even before any of that could reach either of the two, Jason's foresight blessing perceived that the sky below them was cracking open.
Only a fraction of a second later, this truly happened, making him feel stunned for a second.
The seemingly unaffected sky cracked open, unveiling something that looked like an endless, purplish-crimson abyss to Jason, the Black Dragon, and the Queen.
However, while Jason and the Black Dragon were utterly dumbfounded, the Queen simply smiled, waving her hand, and enlarging the crack further.
While he and the Black Dragon starred in bewilderment, she smiled proudly as if this was an ordinary attack before flicking her wrist that made the crack shoot towards the Black Dragon.
Only Jason was clearly able to perceive the outlines and energy fluctuations of the crescent spatial blade that seemed to be moving between two dimensions at the same time.
Nonetheless, this astonished Jason so much that he forgot to breathe the moment the abyss-like dimension had been unveiled to him.
He had no idea what exactly the other dimension the Queen had cut through was, but it was obvious that Lilya was able to cut through space, causing goosebumps to appear all over his body.
Moments that felt like an eternity passed as Jason clearly witnessed how the crack spread through the sky, reaching the Black Dragon's head in no time.
Moving away seemed to become an impossible task for the True Dragon, whose large eyes began gleaming in fright as if screaming out in horror when realization struck it.
Too many things were happening at a time, but what the Dragon noticed was a tremendous suctioning force that it was struggling to resist. The force had already devoured its dragon flame, and the attacks it had fired with the darkness affinity it was proficient with.
But just as it was trying to fight the pull, its head was also sucked in through the crack of the space.
Oddly enough, it was just the dragon's head that was pulled through the crack, while a repelling force seemed to push back the rest of the mythical creature's body.
This caused it to panic for a moment, and even without Jason's Emperor eyes of ability to clearly sense his opponent's emotions and energy currents, it was clear to the naked eye that the mighty dragon was facing a life-threatening situation!
At this very moment, the smile on the Queen's face widened as she simply snapped her fingers, ending the battle at once.
The cracked open space closed as easily as it had appeared, causing the endless, purplish-crimson abyss to vanish into thin air.
However, with the disappearance of the abyss, the head of the dragon that had been stuck in it also disappeared, leaving behind only the humongous body of the mythical existence.
It was unbelievable that the Queen had just beheaded an existence that had killed three Demi Gods as if it was a mere ant without even touching it.
And, it was not as if the Black Dragon had struggled in its fight against the Demi Gods…it had defeated them easily, and so had the Queen defeated it…with ease.
While the gravitational force pulled the beheaded dragon's body towards the ground, causing a thunderous sound upon impact, Jason's eyes never left the area in which space had been distorted and split open.
'Cutting through the space of two dimensions…' He could only think in astonishment, before using the imprinted memory of the spatial wind blade to try to comprehend what was going on.
It was obvious that everything was far more complex than it had looked, and Jason was unable to understand it.
This irked him with the biggest annoyance being the relaxed manner in which the Queen had fought, not even breaking a sweat and killing the Black Dragon as if she was merely swatting a fly.
Yet, even after several minutes had passed, he had no idea what Queen Lilya had really done or the exact steps to achieve that ghastly effect.
His own comprehension, experience, and theoretical knowledge of the spatial affinity were simply too low.
Thus, he looked over to the Queen, with a thousand questions buzzing in his mind.
However, it was at this moment that he was able to see through the facade of the Queen.
Cold sweat was trickling down her neck, and her energy fluctuations were unstable.
In fact, they were so chaotic that Jason began to wonder how she had not collapsed yet and was still standing on her feet.
'Her mind must have been overloaded… I guess?'
Jason had often faced a situation where he was unable to move, or think.
This happened mostly when he did something that strained his mind and body equally.
As such, Jason discarded his earlier notion of the Queen being able to defeat the Black Dragon easily.
Rather than having won with ease, it was her meticulous preparations and the fact that she wanted to show off her skills that made her want to demonstrate to Jason how easy it was for her to defeat a Demi God that could easily kill other Demi Gods.
With that in mind, he decided to ask the doubt that had been weighing on his mind.
"Wow…you..just cut through space, didn't you?" He thus asked, looking at the Queen with gleaming eyes.
Meanwhile, the Queen, oblivious to the fact that her facade had been shattered, took a few breaths before putting on a confident smile.
Weaving her hand through her hair to push it back in a smooth manner, she just nodded her head before pointing out two fingers.
"That's right. To be precise, I cut the space between two dimensions! If you want to know more about it, I created two anchors at the same coordinates of Kyrian, the crystalized abyss, and Lyina, before cutting through the at the same time, through the void-like barrier.
…."
What followed later was half an hour of the Queen explaining to him what exactly she had done in order to defeat the Black Dragon.
Jason didn't really expect her to start giving him a theoretical lesson on how to cut through the space of two overlapping dimensions.
After all, she was extremely exhausted, had just defeated a Demi-God, and there were numerous other tasks they had to accomplish.
Nevertheless, he listened intently because he was also interested in the theoretical knowledge she was given to him freely.
Through this, he could tell that a few things were similar to what he had presumed, while a few other pieces of information were contrary to his expectations.
However, what astonished him a bit was the fact that there were two dimensions at the exact same coordinates.
But even more confusing was the answer he received.
"Oh, you don't know that yet? The Universe we are living in, is in fact, a bunch of Universes that were forcefully drawn together after their void barriers had weakened and so on.
That was when Shima, the Planet of the Universe was born.
Owing to multiple…let's say incidents, the Universes are overlapping, with Shima being the center of everything. And both Lyina and Kyrian are two different places of overlapping Universes that are at the same coordinates though in different universes…yet at the same coordinates.
You should read a book about Shima's emergence, and a few books about the Souls of the Old Universe. It is really interesting!"
