Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 646 - 325: Turning the Corner, Level 45_3

Standing outside the door, Ma waited with patience.

Normally, Fang Yu would emerge from his meditation almost instantly after receiving his message.

But this time, it had been nearly a minute, and still, no response came from Fang Yu.

A flicker of surprise registered on Ma's face; he felt a touch of bewilderment.

Could the captain perhaps not have heard him?

That seemed unlikely, as his Brain Domain's energy fluctuation, though subtle, should have conveyed the message clearly.

Furthermore, considering the captain's considerable energy and spiritual prowess, it was highly improbable that he would miss Ma's transmitted information.

Still perplexed, Ma paused.

However, with Chen Xiaolin waiting outside, a prolonged delay would be impolite.

Resolving not to disturb Fang Yu's meditation further, Ma decided to slightly amplify his Brain Domain's power level and directed it towards Fang Yu's Meditation Room.

This time, Ma was exceedingly careful, maintaining a portion of his Brain Domain power to cautiously assess the situation within the Meditation Room.

Yet, upon probing, Ma was astonished by what he perceived.

His senses indicated that the space within the Meditation Room was both incredibly confined and infinitely expansive, without any discernible limits or boundaries.

His Brain Domain power seemed to rebound upon entry, yet it also drifted formlessly, encountering nothing tangible, returning in a state of confusion.

"How peculiar," Ma muttered, unwilling to concede defeat. Concerned for Fang Yu's well-being, he channeled his entire power level into the probe, determined to understand the events unfolding within.

Suddenly, a tremendous suction force emanated from the Meditation Room, reminiscent of a nascent black hole, which swiftly engulfed Ma's Brain Domain power, drawing it into a profound, all-consuming abyss.

Ma recoiled in shock, a cold sweat breaking out instantly.

He recognized the extreme peril inherent to spirit-type Transcendent abilities, especially for him.

Should his mental energy become ensnared within a specific spatial realm, his consciousness and thoughts would be irrevocably tethered, rendering his physical form catatonic.

This represented Ma's most profound dread.

Indeed, his mental faculties, his very Brain Domain thoughts, were being dragged by a black hole-like phenomenon into an indeterminate void.

Ma's vision plunged into absolute darkness, severing his connection to his surroundings as he felt his consciousness pulled inexorably toward the abyss.

In a surge of panic, Ma desperately marshaled his internal power, striving to shatter the grip of this dire predicament.

But alas, the force was overwhelmingly potent, far exceeding Ma's capacity to resist.

His struggles proved utterly futile.

"It's over!"

A wave of bitter despair washed over Ma; he couldn't comprehend such a sudden, inexplicable demise.

He had merely intended to summon the captain, so how had his consciousness been so abruptly drawn into this abyss?

The situation had escalated with alarming speed, leaving Ma no opportunity to react.

He felt an overwhelming sense of desperation and helplessness.

Then, piercing the endless darkness, a familiar voice cut through:

"Hmm? It's you, Ma. Why have you come here yourself?"

Grasping onto this voice as a lifeline, Ma cried out desperately, "Captain!! Help me!!!"

"Whoa there... Why the panic? It's just an abyss I conjured using the Law. Releasing you is quite simple."

Fang Yu's voice, tinged with amusement, resonated from all directions.

Before Ma could even formulate a reply, he experienced a sensation of profound disorientation.

Regaining his faculties, he found his consciousness fully restored to his own body.

The preceding events felt like nothing more than a vivid dream.

Yet... for a spirit-type Transcendent, how could such an illusion manifest, how could memory so easily falter?

Ma was inwardly stunned.

What kind of ability had he just witnessed? The captain...

As these thoughts swirled, the door to the Meditation Room creaked open, revealing Fang Yu standing behind it.

Fang Yu offered a gentle smile, looked at Ma, and inquired, "Is it time for us to depart for Congress? Let's head out!"

Ma seemed momentarily lost, his gaze fixed unseeingly on Fang Yu.

"What's wrong, Ma?" Fang Yu asked, his curiosity piqued.

Ma finally snapped back to the present, awkwardly running a hand over his head before replying, "Captain, you seem... different somehow... like..."

Ma paused, searching for the right words to articulate his feeling:

"It's like..."

"...as if you are no longer of this space, speaking to me from an entirely different realm."
