Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 2521 Weakening

?A few days later, Kentucky finally lost his patience and found a place to talk with Rean on the other side. "This is ridiculous! There is no way a Dimensional Realm is this big! Considering the speed we have been moving, I'm sure we traveled far enough to cross at least three of four continents back in the Realm of Gods."

Rean knew that Kentucky was frustrated. "First of all, it is possible for Dimensional Realms to be this big. Especially when we are talking about you know what." Rean obviously talked about the Universe Foundation Fragment. "Did you forget what kind of power it has? It was that thing that kept your Floating Islands of Time like that for countless years."

Kentucky sighed. "I know. Still..." Kentucky looked around, and other than the Chasm and the eventual Altar, there was truly nothing else. It was all just a never-ending barren land. All the greenery they found after entering the Azum Dimensional Realm had long since been left behind.

Aelrie, who was on Kentucky's back, couldn't help but mention. "You don't need to try to hide in front of me, you know? I heard everything about what happened in the Ruins of the Skies. Simply put, I know about the Universe Foundation Fragments. I also have figured out that it might have something to do with one of those mythical items."

Rean bitterly smiled. "So you know about that too, uh? Well, that makes things easier. This Dimensional Realm must be held by something as strong as that."

Kentucky didn't care. "So what? We are still going nowhere! What are you saying, that this Dimensional Realm might be as big as a Universe?"

"Of course not!" Rean immediately shook his head. "Regardless of how powerful a Universe Foundation Fragment is, it would never be powerful enough to create a Universe-size Dimension. Let alone a whole Universe, it wouldn't be able to create even 1% of one. Still, the area that CAN be created is ridiculously big. We are seeing it now."

"This fucking sturdy space," Kentucky complained. "If not for that, we could just open a Spatial Gate and go all the way to the end."

Rean pondered about this issue and wondered if they should just go back. Who knows how far they would have to travel to find something. Besides, they have been following the Chasm all this while. What if whatever they are looking for is far away from the Chasm to begin with? They might reach the end of the Dimensional Realm and find nothing. "The problem is because we don't know what we are looking for," Rean commented.

Kentucky knew that. "We tried to fix that. However, all the space, elements, divine energy, etc is well balanced wherever we go. It definitely doesn't help when you want to find a path to follow."

"Something different?" Aelrie asked back, and she thought about it. "There is one thing different from the initial areas, though."

Kentucky and Rean weren taken aback. "There is? We can't feel anything at all."

Aelrie then closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment. Finally, she opened them again and her gazer fixed in the Chasm. "It's the Chasm itself. The Spatial Chaos inside it isn't are powerful as it was at the initial areas."

"The Chasm?" Rean and Kentucky quickly focused their Natural Spatial Percetion into the Chasm. After all, Divine Sense didn't work in this place. Yet, Rean was the first one to shake his head. "I can't feel anything different from before."

Kentucky followed suit. "My Minokawa bloodline has quite some affinity with Space Power. However, I also can't feel anything. Aelrie, are you sure it is different? Rean and I have much higher cultivation than you, but we can't detect anything."

Aelrie focused a little more and nodded once again. "Yes, there is no doubt about it. Around two kilometers down the Chasm, the Spatial Chaos is quite weaker than the entrance."

"Two kilometers?!" Rean and Kentucky found it hard to believe. "Because of the sturdy space, our Natural Spatial Perception can't go further than a few hundred meters. How can your Natural Spatial Perception go so far with such a low cultivation?"

Aelrie was the one surprised this time. She didn't know she had such an advantage in this place. "I... don't know. It had always been like this. I didn't mention anything exactly because your cultivations are higher than mine. I always thought your Natural Spatial Perception went much further than mine did."

Rean sighed in response. "This is another sign that you are connected to this place, Aelrie."

Aelrie wasn't happy. "You mean it is because my real self died in this place, right? This ability of mine just makes it much more likely that I'm truly a copy created in this Dimensional Realm."

Rean could only nod. "Unfortunately, yes. However, that is our only chance to find anything in this place... even if it reminds you of your shit condition. Aelrie, considering the rate the Chasm's Spatial Power is decreasing, how long do you think it would take for us to reach a place where we can cross the Chasm?"

Aelrie pondered a bit. "It is hard to say. After all, the distance we have traveled so far is ridiculously big. If I were to guess, it would take at least another week for your Natural Spatial Perceptions to start noticing the difference. As for crossing the Chasm... another week on top of that... I guess?"

Kentucky wasn't exactly happy to hear that, but it was at least a change. "I swear I'm going to destroy everything responsible for this shit if I find them."

Rean smiled. "That's something. Do you remember when we talked about this place being a prison? Now Aelrie said the Chasm's Chaotic Spatial Power is weakening. Perhaps it is a result of something trying to escape. Let's keep following the Chasm. There is a very good chance that we will find something in the end."
