Chapter 567: Twisting Nether

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before heading to a new world, there was one last thing for Roy to do—say goodbye to Sareth.

He didn’t return to Sanctuary but contacted Sareth through a Demon Eye left on the ground.

Sareth had actually had a premonition that Roy would leave him on Sanctuary, so he wasn’t too surprised after hearing Roy’s decision. He was just extremely reluctant to see them leave.

Sareth had been by Roy’s side since he was a baby. Regardless of whether he was a demon or not, whether or not he was of his bloodline or not, these were not important. What was important was that he only recognized Roy as his father, his Mother Cassandra, Mother Julia, and Mother Benia. They were his family.

Children would eventually grow up. One day, he would leave the protection of his family and pursue his life and dreams. Although he was reluctant, Sareth, who had lived in the Abyss for many years, had inherited the thinking and traditions of demons, so he wouldn’t cry.

If he wanted something, he would rely on his own strength to seize it. He didn’t care about the means, nor did he care about righteousness and evil. He would only follow his own will. What the Dark Messiah Sareth would achieve in the world of Sanctuary might be worth looking forward to.

After bidding farewell to Sareth, everyone sat on Rafaro’s back and shuttled through space. After arriving at the World Gate, they rushed into this colossal vortex.

Even with Roy’s current strength, this World Gate did not pose any obstruction or resistance to him. In fact, during the process of traveling through the World Gate, he didn’t feel the slightest world repulsive effect. This meant that the world opposite the gate was terrifyingly high in energy level. It could be said to be the highest energy level world that he had ever gone to!

Of course, this was the first tRoy had jumped from one world to another without relying on the connection of the Gates of the Abyss.

What is a world? Roy had thought about this question many times. After traveling through many worlds, he gradually had sanswers.

Combined with what Lilith had told him about the theory of the River of Time, he realized that all ‘worlds’ were probably in the sdimensional universe, and this dimensional universe followed the laws of the sRiver of Time. The so-called ‘worlds’ should be the ‘quadrants’ that were divided in the dimensional universe.

If a dimensional universe was regarded as a total set, then worlds were subsets of the universe, with each subset being a world. In a ‘quadrant’ where a world was, there were often one or more planets. These planets often had intelligent life. As the River of Tflowed, they played out their civilizations and history, and they often becthe ‘main bodies’ of the worlds.

Parts of the universes that formed quadrants usually had a unified special system, be it technological or mystical. Different energy levels also caused the development of the world civilizations in these quadrants to be different, and these different systems were the basis for dividing quadrants.

Gates of the Abyss, Gates of Heaven, and World Gates, these similar spatial channels actually connected to various quadrants. The main worlds in these quadrants were the spacetmarkers.

How big was a dimensional universe? Roy had no way of knowing. There were trillions of stars, and he couldn’t count how many quadrants and worlds would be born in one… And this was the concept of the ‘Infinite Worlds’.

And under the background of an entire dimensional universe was the Void. The dimensional universe was a whole, and the sVoid was a whole.

If the entire Void was regarded as a drawing board, then the universe was a pattern covering the entire drawing board. If lines were used to divide the entire painting into countless quadrilaterals of various sizes, then these quadrilaterals were the quadrants. If a quadrilateral was damaged, the background board would be exposed. This was a leak from the Void. If this leak couldn’t be stopped, then the power of the Void would eventually devour the entire quadrant and completely ‘blacken’ this quadrilateral!

The moment they passed through the World Gate, it meant that Roy and the others had jumped from one quadrant to another. Quadrants were not necessarily adjacent to each other, and they might be quite far apart, possibly even several quadrants apart. But this was the wonder of the World Gates.

After leaving Sanctuary, Roy felt as though he had gone from a small quadrilateral into… a massive quadrilateral!

The first scene of the new world reflected in Roy’s eyes made him feel that this quadrilateral was about to be ‘blackened’!

The Void, the powerful and boundless Void power, was their first feeling. At this moment, Roy even suspected that Lilith’s World Gate had opened wrongly and directly threw them into the depths of the Void.

However, when he carefully sensed it, he quickly found that the endless Void power surrounding him seemed to be a little different. At least, it was a little different from what he felt when he entered the Void.

This is indeed a material world! Roy confirmed.

After passing through the World Gate, Roy and the others were in a cosmic starry sky, but they couldn’t see any starlight as far as the eye could observe. It was far from the starry sky in his impression. It was a strange dark world, and any celestial bodies that they could observe were in a dark and dim state. They didn’t rotate but only stayed in place in dead silence.

All kinds of ferocious-looking asteroids were wandering in this shadow world, not following any pattern, as though they were in Brownian motion, colliding with each other and disintegrating. The larger planets wouldn’t capture these asteroid fragments and would even push them away, as though gravity no longer took effect in this universe.

In the distant starry sky, an ugly rift pierced through. This rift was like a scar in the universe and enough to cause any living being to feel uncomfortable. At the edges of the rift, dark purple light pervaded like countless twisting and waving tentacles, bringing slight to the dark shadow world. But this light flickered irregularly, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as though the speed of light was fluctuating.

Even as a demon and a fallen angel, Benia and Julia felt disgusted from the bottom of their souls when they saw the scene of this world. They endured the discomfort and held Roy tightly. ‘W-where is this? Is it the Void?”

“I don’t know!” Roy shook his head. “Sound can still spread. There’s still radiation in the starry sky, and space still exists, so it should be a material world. But the entire space is full of powerful Void energy… This is probably a world that has been devoured by the Void.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lilith’s voice suddenly cfrom behind. “That’s not very accurate!”

Roy and the others turned around and saw Lilith passing through the World

Gate.

Although Lilith had sent Roy and the others into this world first, she also wanted to enter this world, but she ca little later. After she entered, the World Gate closed. At the stime, powerful Chaos power spread out from her enormous body.

Under the protection of the Chaos power, an order field appeared in the space around Lilith. The order field expelled the surrounding Void energy, and the asteroids and meteors that were originally moving chaotically returned to their normal trajectories when they brushed past the order field!

Seeing this, Roy understood. He activated his Chaos power and enveloped Julia, Rafaro, and the others in an order field, allowing them to recover from their discomfort.

“This is the Twisting Nether!” Lilith moved closer to Roy and the others and explained, “This nwas set by the intelligent life of this world.”

After hearing this name, Roy immediately understood and looked around in surprise. Of course, he knew about the Twisting Nether, but he didn’t expect them to land here when Lilith sent them over with the World Gate! Wasn’t the key the spacetguide of the world-soul titan? Why did the World Gate open in the Twisting Nether?

“Do you see that rift in the distance?” Lilith pointed at the ugly cosmic scar.

“You should be able to tell that it’s a massive Void leak!”

Roy gestured solemnly at the crack and asked, “How big is that thing?”

“No one knows because it’s constantly expanding!” Lilith shook her head. “A conservative estimate is that it’s probably hundreds of thousands of light-years large…”

After hearing this number, Roy and the others were shocked speechless!

“Such a massive rift hasn’t destroyed this entire world?!” Roy said in surprise.

Lilith shook her head. “This is why this place is called the Twisting Nether. Although this astonishing Void rift erupts with incomparable Void corrosion, this universe is too large. This place is an immense material world. Although the Void eruption is fierce, it gradually slowed down after devouring a large amount of matter.”

“You mean that a so-called ‘buffer zone’ has formed here?” Roy understood.

“Yes, a buffer zone.” Lilith nodded. “The VOid devours matter, but in contrast, when matter is devoured, it consumes Void energy. In the constant conflict between the Void and matter, the two gradually reached sbalance. This is the buffer zone. Although the Void rift is still expanding, the leaked Void energy didn’t completely devour the matter but left s‘new things’. This is a place where matter and the Void coexist, but everything here is neither Void nor matter.”

This was what ‘twisting’ really meant.

Roy let out a long sigh. “How terrifying…”

“That’s right…” Lilith looked at this world, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. “This world, this universe, belongs to the oldest kind. It is the place the Creator first established. The tthat the Void rift has existed far exceeds our imaginations. According to the clues I’ve obtained, it’s very likely that the Creator left from here and went to the depths of the Void…”

“From that rift?” Roy asked.

“I don’t know, but that rift is the best way to go to the depths of the Void!” Lilith said. “But once we leave the buffer zone of the Twisting Nether, the Void energy we’ll have to face is too terrifying. I didn’t dare to go before obtaining your Chaos energy..”
