Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1570 Lucia and Isabella's Shock!
Previously on Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100...
Shortly after departing the area of his battle with Mira, Max reached a barren wasteland.
The landscape lay empty and hushed, devoid of any living presence. He activated his Dimensional Sovereign Body to probe the vicinity meticulously, verifying no souls lurked close by. Solely upon confirming utter solitude did he proceed.
The instant that followed saw his form disappear.
He stepped into the Dimension of Genesis.
Within it, Lucia and Isabella lingered amid the immense, alien realm, grappling to grasp their new environment. Max's abrupt yank into this space had stunned them utterly. The shift occurred in a blink, denying them any chance to respond.
Surveying their bearings, they discovered themselves amid a boundless realm that seemed utterly authentic and solid. No traces of wavering or warping appeared. The atmosphere, terrain, and far-off skyline all exuded the identical tangibility of the external realm.
This revelation alone stunned them deeply.
They anticipated a mere storage realm or a brittle pocket dimension, but this locale proved wholly distinct. Immense, serene, and oddly whole, it resembled an independent world.
As they puzzled over the occurrence, Max materialized in their midst.
"How are you two?" he inquired, a subtle smile playing on his lips.
Lucia gazed at him, her inquisitiveness surging forth. "What is this place?" she questioned. Her senses already revealed this realm's tie to Max. Clearly, he had whisked them here on purpose amid the Sword God Palace's encirclement.
"This is a secret domain under my control," Max answered, skipping deeper details. "There is no need to ask how I obtained it. You can think of it as something similar to a pocket dimension or a life space ring, except far more stable and far safer."
His words left Lucia and Isabella plainly astonished.
Familiar as they were with life space rings and pocket dimensions, they recognized their flaws. Such rings shattered in fierce clashes, while pocket dimensions grew erratic under motion or disruption. Yet this site displayed none of those frailties.
Mere minutes in, they sensed this world's rock-solid nature, scarcely separable from true existence.
Such stability defied easy understanding.
Max shifted his gaze to Isabella. "You should remain here for now and explore this place," he instructed. "I am heading closer to the center of the Orion secret domain, and I do not know what dangers I may encounter there. It will be too risky for you to follow."
He halted momentarily, then added, "Instead, use this time to focus on the plan I mentioned earlier. You can consider this place as the foundation of that plan. In a way, it will serve as our base."
A finger snap summoned a soft golden glow around Isabella's form. When it dissipated, a delicate link bonded her to the surrounding realm.
"This will allow you limited control over this domain," Max clarified. "Try to understand it and see how you can shape this place into something more suitable for what we intend to build."
Isabella paused, absorbing the bond's essence, as Lucia eyed Max with heightened intrigue.
Far from naive, Isabella grasped the profound intent in Max's declaration the moment it left his lips. He sought more than mere exploration; he bestowed upon her a monumental responsibility.
A covert power.
Should her insight hold true, this domain would anchor that power, a shadowed hub shielded from worldly gazes.
"I will do my best," Isabella vowed, her face etched with resolve.
After beholding Max's authentic might, she harbored no delusions regarding their chasm. The disparity loomed immense, and crucially, it widened ceaselessly. Moment by moment, Max surged in power beyond all logic.
This epiphany forged an unshakeable conviction in her heart.
Max stood poised for grander destinies ahead.
All former doubts about aligning with his secret force vanished entirely.
Noting her shifted resolve, Max offered a light smile. Wordlessly, he delved into his storage, retrieved a Chaos Fruit, and passed it to her.
"This is what I promised you," he stated.
Isabella took it with care, a spark of thrill in her gaze. Vividly, she recalled Max's prior assurances: aid in claiming a divine body, boosting her aptitude past Zain Heron's even prior to her Imperial Bloodline's full awakening.
"I will not disappoint you," she declared resolutely.
"I know," Max responded, a serene smile on his face.
The very next instant, his form vanished from the Dimension of Genesis, Lucia accompanying him.
Back in the Orion secret domain, Lucia's curiosity finally overwhelmed her restraint.
"What was that just now?" she demanded right away. "I couldn't grasp a single thing you two discussed. And what exactly did you hand over to her?"
Max shook his head faintly. "You don't need to concern yourself with it."
Lucia squinted at him suspiciously. "You and Isabella are clearly plotting something without me."
Max just smiled faintly. "Maybe we are, or maybe not. Regardless, since you've witnessed my real power, quit fretting over me and turn your focus inward."
His look grew somewhat grave as he pressed on, "We're drawing near the domain's core. Who knows what dangers await us ahead, so stay on high alert every moment. Understood?"
Lucia nodded, her face now serious.
"Excellent," Max affirmed. "Time to advance."
And so, they pressed forward once more, delving deeper into the secret domain's innermost reaches.
