Death… And Me

Chapter 3180: The Connection is Always There

”You mean, in the Supreme Palace?” Rifindio asked.

Rean and Kentucky nodded. ”That too, but it doesnʼt really need to be there. We are asking regarding any ways possible.”

Rifindio pondered a bit. He didnʼt know much about such things since he was truly too weak, young, and well-disregarded. Why would he be interested in traveling to other universes? ”Hum... I think the Supreme Palace does have a Spaceship that it uses to visit nearby Universes. Obviously, that is senior Triagliaʼs ship, and only she uses it. Still, even in my thirty years of life, Iʼve never seen it going out even once. From what I know, the last time she left the Universe with it was over two hundred years ago.”

Rean continued. ”Alright. And other than that?”

”Other than that?” Rifindio massaged the space between his eyes, trying to remember. He was certain he had heard something regarding this topic somewhere, but he didnʼt pay attention before. ”I do know it is also possible to travel by yourself through Spatial Gates, although it would take thousands of years if you use that method. Fuck... I know there was another way. What was that...?”

*Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Out of nowhere, Rean appeared behind Rifindio, slapping the back of his head.

”Why did you do that?” Even though it was painful, it didnʼt really cause any injury. Then, he felt like his mind got somewhat clearer, which helped him. ”Ah! I remember now!”

Rean smiled, returning to Kentuckyʼs back. ”I just used a little bit of Light Element, which is very good for souls and the body. It is quite helpful when I forget things.”

Rifindio nodded, understanding. However, he narrowed his eyes. ”Was the slap necessary?” ”Not really. Hahaha!” Really shrugged.

”Fuck you!” Rifindio cursed in anger. Rean continued to laugh anyway, so it took some time for Rifindio to regain his calm. ”Sigh... anyway. Let me make it clear: Iʼm not really certain if it works. It is just something I heard in the passing back in the Supreme Palace.”

”From what I heard, there is something called Great Void Shifter. It is kind of a Teleport Formation, but that swaps two places in space at the same time,” Rifindio explained. ”How does it work? Does it exist? Can you use it? What are the requirements? I have no idea. If it exists, I donʼt know if it is located in the Supreme Palace or somewhere else. Hell, it might not even exist in our Universe for all that I know.”

Rean and even Zangeshu inside the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm were quite surprised. *Zush!*

Zangeshu appeared outside, joining Rean on Kentuckyʼs back. ”Did you say it swaps places in space?”

Rifindio nodded. ”Thatʼs what I heard. Why? Is it something important?”

Rean and Zangeshu looked at each other. Rean, especially, knew the trouble behind such things. ”You see, teleport formations work by literally bending space. Then, you cross the two points in space to go from one place to another. It is a complex method that requires a lot of preparation and, thus, teleport formations. High-level experts can execute teleportation in very small distances, usually no more than a few kilometers.” Luan was one of such, but opponent experts would still be able to feel it if Luan used such methods.

He continued. ”In the case of Spatial Gates, they open a passage behind the fabric of space and time instead of bending them. Thatʼs why you donʼt see anyone below the Space-Time Realm capable of opening Spatial Gates. You need at least some minimum control over both Space and Time to achieve that. Thatʼs why Teleport Formations are usually much faster. The good thing about Spatial Gates is that you donʼt need formations to create them when you get strong enough. They are very useful.”

Zangeshu agreed with Rean. He personally had never seen a Spatial Gate being opened by an expert, but he knew the trick behind it since information was available in the Werdlem Network. ”Master is right. Now, the problem is this Great Void Shifter you talked about. Be it Teleport Formations or Spatial Gates, they manipulate space, but they canʼt change the space locations in space and time.”

”Exactly,” Rean nodded. ”As much as you can bend space, it is a fact that that point in space is still there. You just stretched or contracted it to fulfill your needs. Or, in the case of Spatial Gates, you opened a hole in it. To swap two points in space, leaving aside how ridiculous it sounds, you need some kind of connection between them.”

”Teleport Formations use the formations on both sides to achieve it. High-level experts who teleport use their Divine Senses, Spatial Power, Time Power, or something else as long as it fulfills their needs to create that connection between two places.”

”Spatial Gates simply allow you to travel behind the fabric of space, where a single meter might be equivalent to millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions, or even more kilometers outside. There is no need for a connection to the other side as long as you know exactly where you are trying to go. Of course, as I mentioned, this method takes much longer than teleport formations.”

”If your Great Void Shifter Formation truly swaps points in space, we need to know what kind of connection it uses to achieve that result. First of all, how can it change two locations in space and time? Does it rip off the two target areas? Could it be just a misconception? Is it an instant method? Or could it be something like a Spatial Gate, where it takes time to travel from one point to another, but is faster in the case of this Shifter? In any case, the idea of ʼswappingʼ two places in space seems quite ridiculous in my mind,” Rean completed. Zangeshu, obviously, felt just the same.

Nonetheless, both Rean and Zangeshu wanted to put their eyes on one of those formations. Even the Systemʼs ability to allow the twins to appear anywhere in the Lisan Universe didnʼt really swap a space position in space and time. Besides, that ability required a connection, which, back in Lisan, was Rean, Roan, and Luan. Here, when Rean enters the Dimensional Realm and leaves it at Roanʼs side, Roan is that connection. The connection was always there.

Of course, if it comes to connections between two points, it wasnʼt like Rean didnʼt have an idea. In fact, he had two!
