Endless Debt Chapter 1393 - 5: Tearing Reality_3

Bologue skillfully answered, "The Material Realm and the Ethereal Realm are like two parallel sheets of paper, with the Material Realm located above the Ethereal Realm. As the Ether increases, it’s like placing a heavy weight on the paper; it will crush the Material Realm, causing the flat paper to warp."

Ether distorts the Material Realm, granting Condensers various Extraordinary Powers. Thinking of it this way, Condensers born in the Material Realm are more like parasites, constantly disrupting and harming the Material Realm.

"Yes, previously our understanding was limited to excessive Ether distorting reality. Now we have witnessed the scenario after massive collapse, which means..."

Mamo paused for a moment, maintaining a calm demeanor as he continued, "It means our previous predictions about Extraordinary Disasters ravaging the world were too optimistic."

The increase in Ether concentration has a direct impact on the world, manifesting in the increase of Ethereal Vortex Points. The turbulent Ether can easily trigger terrifying natural disasters, and neither mountains nor cities can escape their baptism.

But this is not the worst outcome.

Bologue easily guessed what would happen next, "When the Ether concentration of the entire world reaches its peak, the first to arrive are the Extraordinary Disasters unleashed by numerous Ethereal Vortex Points. Afterward, these Vortex Points will gather more Ether, their energy levels will continue to upgrade until they self-collapse."

"Forming channels leading to the Ethereal Realm, causing the Material Realm and Ethereal Realm to overlap."

Mamo nodded, then shook his head, "No, Bologue, I also initially thought that the ultimate result is the overlapping of the Material and Ethereal Realms. But now it seems, the true outcome is not like that."

"Continue." Bologue listened intently.

"Do you understand some celestial knowledge? Like celestial gravity?" Mamo asked.

"Of course."

Relying on "past life" memories, Bologue surprisingly had a wealth of knowledge in this area.

"In my view, the Material Realm and Ethereal Realm do not truly overlap. There may be a phase where the two worlds are in an overlapping stage, but the actual situation is that after a brief overlap, the channels collapsed by these Ethereal Vortex Points will continually expand, like huge worms, devouring the entire world into riddled holes."

"Just like celestial bodies attracting each other, a more massive celestial body attracts a smaller body, causing it to be torn into pieces under its own gravitational pull...I suspect that eventually, these two parallel sheets will meet such an end, with the Material Realm being shredded and falling into the Ethereal Realm."

Both maintained a high degree of restraint, discussing the matter rationally, but the facts carried by their words were too heavy, leaving Bologue feeling somewhat uneasy in his chest.

"Like a hunt."

After a brief silence, Bologue suddenly said, "The Ethereal Realm is like a Hunter, hunting other worlds in the vast void."

"First, Ether gradually infiltrates the Material Realm. Upon realizing...this new energy source, people exploit it wildly, allowing Ether to further develop rapidly. When our Ether technology reaches a certain height, it’s also the time of our demise."

Bologue exhaled deeply, offering comfort, "At least we know what’s happening, rather than losing without understanding."

"Lose? We haven’t planned to give up so easily."

Mamo asserted firmly, "You’ve seen the experiments in the garden. I’m trying to create a stable channel for deeper exploration of the Ethereal Realm, which might help us find a means to reverse the disaster."

He added, "Since King Solomon was able to discover the Initial Scroll in the Ethereal Realm, why can’t we?"

"Naturally."

Bologue exhibited no excessive fear over these matters, having grown accustomed to a series of dire situations, and he possessed sufficient confidence in himself and the future. He didn’t believe it would end simply like this.

"This will concern the fate of the whole world," Bologue raised another issue, "Does the Order Bureau plan to share this conjecture with others?"

"Yes, facing such a worldwide crisis, we must unite all unifiable forces, but first, we need to ensure internal stability."

With extremely high authority, Mamo was aware of many decisions unknown to Bologue.

"The Order Bureau plans to share this information with forces within the Rhine Alliance Territory," aside from the Order Bureau, only one other force exists in the Rhine Alliance, Mamo said, "which is the All Secrets Order."

"The Order Bureau hopes to reconcile the differences from the Fury of Scorched Earth, uniting the forces of the Rhine Alliance completely," Mamo continued, "after uniting the All Secrets Order, comes the Narrow Countries, and finally the Kagader Empire."

"It truly is uniting all the forces."

Bologue hadn’t expected the Kagader Empire to be on the list, could there be a day to fight alongside the undying enemy?

"Not quite, many forces are still under consideration, such as the Kagader Empire."

Mamo said, "You also know, many forces are backed by the Devil’s shadow; these bizarre entities from the Ethereal Realm might be the messengers of doom."

"Mm."

Bologue nodded; he equally agreed on this point.

"By the way, why are you here?" Only then did Mamo realize Bologue usually wouldn’t be present here.

"Submitting an application." Bologue raised the document in his hand.

Mamo glanced briefly, his voice showing slight surprise, "Promotion application? Defender?"

Seeing Mamo’s delighted appearance, Bologue sensed something was amiss, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just an Ascension Ceremony, not the Ascension Ceremony for Seeker of Glory," Mamo scrutinized Bologue, pondering for a long time before pointing at the charred iron chair on the podium, "Bologue, are you interested in sacrificing for science?"

Bologue expressionlessly thought to himself, "I knew it."
