Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1584 A Strange World!
Previously on Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100...
The four Primarchs remained frozen, a short distance away, their silence absolute.
Their faces were etched with an unconcealable shock, a testament to witnessing something that shattered their entire understanding of existence.
For beings of their caliber, entities of chaos, true death in the conventional sense was a nonexistent concept. Even if their physical forms were obliterated, their essence would eventually re-form or reintegrate with their primal source. Such was the intrinsic nature of their being.
Kazreth's clone, by all rights, should have adhered to the same principle.
Upon fulfilling its designated purpose, it ought to have simply rejoined its origin.
However, the spectacle they had just witnessed deviated entirely from this established norm.
It hadn't merely been destroyed.
It hadn't simply dispersed.
It had been utterly expunged, as if its existence had never been imprinted upon reality at all.
As this chilling realization seeped into their core, a palpable coldness crept over the Primarchs.
They had traversed countless eons, experienced innumerable conflicts, and beheld powers that defied imagination, yet they had never, not once, encountered a chaos being eradicated in such a complete and absolute manner.
Such an outcome should have been an impossibility.
And yet, it had transpired directly before their very eyes.
Observing Kazreth's absolute vanishing, leaving not even a whisper of its presence behind, Max stood still for a profound moment. The reverberations of that impossible event still echoed within his mind, and even now, full comprehension of his own actions remained elusive.
"Could this truly be… the might of a god?" he questioned softly, his gaze drifting downward to his own hands.
But before these profound thoughts could be further explored, an internal shift occurred within him.
The immense, unbridled presence that had coursed through his form moments prior began to ebb away. The celestial expanse that had constituted his very being dimmed and contracted inwards, and the peculiar divine sigil that had materialized behind his head faded as if it had never manifested.
In the fleeting passage of mere breaths, all returned to its familiar state.
His physical form reverted to its original appearance.
The godlike power completely dissipated.
Max found himself standing as he had before, a cultivator firmly within the Law Awakening Realm, devoid of any outward sign of the transcendent state he had briefly inhabited.
"What exactly transpired?" he questioned aloud, a deep furrow forming on his brow as bewilderment washed over him. He attempted to grasp the sensation, the energetic flow, the existential plane he had reached, but the more he tried to recall, the more intangible it became.
"It did not feel external," he stated deliberately, his mind racing as he endeavored to connect the fragmented pieces. "That power felt neither borrowed nor imposed. It felt… intrinsically mine, as though I had merely brushed against it for an instant."
This dawning understanding left him deeply unsettled.
If that potent force was indeed a part of him, then why was he unable to access it again?
And more crucially, what had acted as the catalyst for its manifestation?
As these questions swirled in his consciousness, his focus was abruptly drawn elsewhere.
His Dimensional Sovereign Body registered a distinct reaction.
A presence made itself known within his sensory perception, distant yet undeniably clear.
The Ascension Tunnel.
It was located not far from his current position.
Max raised his head, his expression turning grave as he pinpointed the location. He understood that any answers he sought would not be found by remaining idle.
"I should be capable of departing this location via that tunnel," he voiced softly, though a subtle undercurrent of uncertainty tinged his words. "At the very least, it represents my most viable option."
Before proceeding, he cast one final glance backward.
In the distance, the four Primarchs remained ensnared within the containment field. Though their forms were immobile, their presence remained a significant factor. Max observed them silently for a moment, imprinting their visages into his memory.
Then, he turned away.
Without uttering another word, he commenced his movement towards the Ascension Tunnel.
A few minutes later, he reached his destination.
Before him loomed a colossal pedestal, ancient and imposing, exuding an aura as if it had stood since the dawn of time. At its heart floated a massive, luminous sphere of white light, suspended in place by several towering pillars encircling it.
The orb emanated an aura both chaotic and profoundly deep.
Max perceived the spatial distortions within it, a complex intermingling of space and time that defied conventional comprehension. The energy it exuded was volatile yet meticulously controlled, akin to a conduit connecting disparate dimensions of existence.
"So, this is the Ascension Tunnel," Max remarked quietly, his gaze fixed upon the radiant sphere.
He advanced a single step.
"This must be my egress from this secluded domain," he murmured, bracing himself before embracing the unknown.
Without a moment's hesitation, he stepped into the sphere.
The instant he crossed the threshold, his entire being was enveloped by an intense white luminescence.
His senses were overwhelmed as the surrounding reality dissolved into pure, unadulterated radiance. There was no ground beneath, no sky above, no discernible direction, only an infinite expanse of light seemingly stretching beyond the limits of perception.
Time itself appeared to warp and distort.
Space ceased to possess any meaning or relevance.For a fleeting instant, it was as if he ceased to exist anywhere. Then, gradually, the luminescence began to wane. Upon reopening his eyes, Max discovered he was not back in Orion. Instead, he found himself standing within a completely unfamiliar world. The ambiance was tranquil. The scenery felt ethereal. It was a realm akin to a dream, yet to label it solely as such felt insufficient. The world extended limitlessly in every direction, though its vastness was not of a conventional nature. There was no discernible horizon, no sky, and no ground that could be described in ordinary terms. Rather, everything appeared to exist in a state between form and the absence of form, as if reality itself had become pliable, losing its concrete structure. What lay beneath Max's feet resembled land, yet it did not possess the properties of solid earth. It emitted a subtle shimmer, akin to a surface crafted from concentrated starlight, reflecting shades of silver, blue, and faint gold. Each step he took generated gentle undulations, as if he were treading upon a serene and boundless ocean that had forgotten the art of motion. The air held a profound stillness, deeper than mere silence. It was not the void of sound, but the absence of any form of disturbance. No wind stirred, yet a current flowed. Despite the lack of overt movement, the entire realm pulsed with a quiet, immeasurable vitality. It was as if time itself had been placed on hold, not abruptly stopped, but gently set aside, permitting this place to reside beyond its dominion.
