703 Into the Space
Finding the Lightning Titan was both easy and difficult.
It was easy to find his Domain, which was basically the place he build over the last few tens of thousands of years.
The Lightning Titan lived by himself somewhere in the Universe, without a direct connection to him. One had to fly through space and enter his sphere. And that was where the problems started to occur!
First, Dilan had to find a Gate that lead him close to the Lightning Titan’s Domain, then he had to fly through the space for a while and find a way inside his sphere.
The sphere was also one of his constructs. To put it simply, it was a self-supplying lightning storm that had been weaved together after it had covered a stellar system.
At first, everyone called the Lightning Titan a fool for thinking that he could control a lightning storm at such a level. Instead of devouring the lightning storm, he weaved a sphere that supplied itself with energy while providing beings with a high constitution to the Power of Lightning the opportunity to comprehend more about the true terror of lightning.
However, even those with a highly adept constitution toward lightning wouldn’t dare to approach the lightning sphere without the Lightning Titan’s permission. After all, one could only enter the Domain of the Lightning Titan after receiving an invitation from him. This happened rarely and only when the news of an unparalleled genius of the Power of Lightning reached his ears, which was not easy.
He stayed in his domain all day in an attempt to improve his constitution and perfection the combat technique he had created a long time ago, after all.
That also meant Dilan would have quite a hard time entering the Lightning storm sphere. However, that was something he had already expected. The Soul Shard of the Lightning Titan had once told him that he was a lone wolf who would have never left his lightning sphere, not as long as he didn’t perfect the Lightning God’s Fist technique.
The City of Trials was a great opportunity for someone like the Lightning Titan, so he took it in the hope to send his findings to his main body once the time was ripe. Of course, that would never happen in the way the Lightning Titan had intended. But that was where Dilan entered the screen!
“You’re certain that this is the right way?” Dilan asked as he looked at the confusing map that was projected through the mirror emblem that glowed on the back of his right hand.
The Queen’s Image repeated the same words as before, in the same monotonous voice she spoke most of the time.
“Just follow the directions as mentioned on the map. There are several layers of maps because you have to pass through different Gates. They shouldn’t have been claimed yet. If they’re claimed, a race with similar traits to your Undying Origin ability exists but I doubt that.”
Dilan sighed and nodded his head. In the end, he was just told to go somewhere and he did exactly that. He spends two days traveling across half the planet to enter a specific Gate. There, he found himself in a place of no life. Dilan could immediately feel that his body was revolting against the Powers that resided within the Gate and he immediately understood what the Queen’s Image meant with her words.
Healing before the Powers could tear him apart completely, Dilan spent three days traveling through the darkness. He couldn’t see anything even with the Mystic Eyes and his great vision, but that was not necessary. The mirror emblem showed him where he had to fly, and he entered the Gate which he found in the darkness of the third day.
His surroundings were much brighter when he emerged on the other side of the Gate. He was surrounded by a humongous white cathedral which he seemed to have infiltrated accidentally.

He used it a few times, activated Walk of Thunder, and Second Acceleration after he reallocated his Health to increase his agility as much as possible. Following that, Dilan activated the Zephyr Step movement technique’s second step as well.
His speed was terrific, to put it in very simple terms. He broke through the sound barrier at once and released a terrific omnipresent sound wave just by shooting through the surrounding area.
He followed the direction the mirror emblem showed him and shot higher in the air once it pointed upward. His speed was extremely high and he didn’t slow down at any point.
With the Gravity Domain activated, there was no gravitational force pulling him down to the ground. Dilan could just keep shooting through the air, reaching space in a matter of seconds.
His speed was extremely high right now. Even amongst True Gods, he could be considered the cream of the crop right now.
That was enough for Dilan to blast into the open space and take a look around. It was the first time for him to be in space and it was freezing cold.
He wouldn’t die because his power as Lesser God, or being with equivalent strength of a Lesser God wouldn’t freeze to death just because he was in the open space.
Nonetheless, he shrouded his body in the flames manifested by the Flame of the Beginning. They warmed his body and further reinforced his physical strength.
“This looks amazing…it makes me feel as if I’m just one tiny spark of dust in the whole Universe…” Dilan mumbled to himself, a small smile emerging on his face.
He was actually just a small spark of dust in the whole Universe, or he had been before the Primordial Ascension had changed everything.
Now that tiny spark of dust had the power to destroy whole planets, he harbored the compressed Power of a Sun inside his body and he wielded powers that even Gods can hardly control or attain.
But that was life, and Dilan would enjoy it…once everything was over!
