Chapter 151: Dinsional Gap

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hmm?”

Staring at the crack that separates the real and alternate dinsions, Glenn was confused by what he saw. Was accessing the Dinsional Gap his gift?

Ti began to crawl at a slower pace, freezing Glenn’s mind bit by bit.

The parrot that gasped for help from that dinsion looked like a distorted sketch drawn by a child. It seed familiar, yet Glenn ignored it. After all, it was just a scrappy delusion, a side-effect of his first attempt at testing his ntal power.

Glenn glanced at the cottage and saw that it had almost completely lted. Droplets of the furniture were now floating in the air as the surrounding walls stopped twisting.

He was no longer able to ignore the dizziness in his head, yet Glenn still could not find any unusual phenonon in his first ntal power test. Filled with doubts, Glenn once again looked deep into the crack of reality and illusion. If he was able to identify any phenonon that he had seen before, he could possibly identify the constructive functions his gift could bring about.

Glenn’s sight searched beyond the restraints of the alternate dinsion, deep into the crack.

BOOM!

An unusual pattern morphed within the depths of that ever-changing crack. A giant pocket tore open, creeping out from it was a humongous Bone Serpent the size of a mountain. Judging purely based on its appearance, it was definitely far greater than Overlord Eubalaena in both length and size.

What a gigantic creature!

Out of a sudden, the Bone Serpent opened its mouth and swarms of beetles surged out. The Bone Serpent’s fra then collapsed and scattered into countless waves of beetles.

Perhaps the Bone Serpent was ford by countless beetles, or perhaps these beetles consud the Bone Serpent. It was hard for Glenn to know which was indeed the fact.

Glenn’s mind seed to stop working at tis. It was difficult for him to simply make a conclusion and decide what action to take next.

Every beetle started to cry like a newborn baby. The sound they made was crystal clear, it was almost as if they feared Glenn as they dispersed frantically deeper into the alternate dinsion.

Little did Glenn know...

Sothing peculiar happened then right before the eyes of all the creatures living in the alternate dinsion, the sky suddenly cracked open, and a gigantic eye peeked through it as if looking into a bottle from its small opening.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Out of nowhere, a gigantic parrot that looked like a child’s drawing covered the sky. With just a few stomps, that parrot vaporized the seemingly limitless number of beetles and sucked them into its mouth. It turned its head and hollered at Glenn, “Young sorcerer, give your Soul-fire. Do not presu that I, Lord Ba, am of the sa status as these lowly insects!”

Soul-fire Pri eh?

Glenn stalled for a mont. Could this parrot truly be so powerful in the world between the Dinsional Gap?

Nevertheless, Soul-fire Pri was the fire born from the soul of a sorcerer. By nurturing and cultivating it, it can strengthen the soul of the sorcerer, thus becoming its source of power. It can be used to bond other souls as Soul Slaves, just like Master Peranos and Black Ga, or Apollo with that red-eyed frog.

However, once a sorcerer has bonded with a Soul Slave, that sorcerer’s soul would never grow if the Soul Slave is dead.

For that reason, most sorcerers would never unseal their Soul-fire Pri.

Needless to say, there were benefits of unsealing one’s Soul-fire Pri. A sorcerer would gain certain powers from their Soul Slaves which would be embedded inside their body! Literally speaking, both sorcerer and Soul Slave would then share the sa body, until death does them apart.

Based on Glenn’s presumption, Sam obtained his Immortal Body by living in symbiosis with a Fantastic Beast that has that ability.

The odds were high. An extraordinary beast with that ability might be a rare creature within the Dinsional Gap or one of its kinds in mysticism. It might even require unique circumstances or special relations with Sam to have such an ability fit perfectly onto him.

There was no point in pondering upon these sort of things right now.

Glenn stood still as his mind paused for a mont. He then sneered at the parrot.

It was just a creature from the void which could never interact with any physical world. How dare it demanded his Soul-fire Pri?

Once, Glenn borrowed an ancient book from Robin. It was written that a sorcerer from the ancient tis discovered the existence of the Dinsional Gap. Despite the fact that they had little knowledge of this realm, it was assured that nothing flows through each plane. Unless one from the other plane took the initiative to cross over, there was zero interaction between both planes.

As for what the Dinsional Gap was, none of the ancient sorcerers could solve its mystery.

Hence, Glenn could not understand his gifted talent. The only thing he was sure of, was that the creatures in that Dinsional Gap could not harm him in any way. The creatures were not intelligent enough to communicate, and the logic and knowledge they possess could not be applied in the endless world.

Why would soone want to learn fighting skills from a cricket?

This put an even bigger sneer on Glenn’s face. “You, a parrot...”

“Curse you! Your Lord Ba is not one of those filthy, simple-minded, lowborn lifeforms called a parrot in the sorcery world. In the sorcery world, your Lord Ba is a pure blood of majestic Steel Emblem Myna!” the parrot that looked like it ca from a child’s sketch on a handkerchief squawked as if a cat was stepping on its tail.

Steel Emblem Myna of the sorcery world eh?

This was not a Dinsional Gap being. What happened?

Glenn doubted whether what the parrot was saying was true. After churning his mind for answers despite his current state, Glenn realized his logic and judgnt were bent and twisted in the Dinsional Gap. By forgetting the things he learned in the real world, it was easier for him to accept the logic in this plane.

This phenonon was known to him since the first ntal power test.

When soone uses his gifted ability, his reactions would slow down. With that said, it was easier for him to embrace unusual logic that diverged from conventional theories.

At that very mont, Glenn rembered sothing.

Did the Ice Age Milly gift him a handkerchief? He always thought about it in reality, yet this mory was only triggered after this ‘parrot’ presented itself for such a long period of ti.

Why did this happen?

Glenn was not the only one who was frustrated. The Steel Emblem Myna yelled from the other side of the Dinsional Gap, “You brat, what you are waiting for! Your experiences as a formal sorcerer just started monts ago, how much mory power do you think you possess to be able to keep this dinsional gap open? Give your Soul-fire Pri now, and I will transfer to you all the information about the Dinsional Gap that the old bastard collected!”

What the parrot said sent a shiver down his spine, Glenn threw back a few imprudent questions, “mory power keeps this dinsional gap open? What is a dinsional gap?”

“Space of imagination!”

Just as the Steel Emblem Myna finished his sentence, a gush of Soul-Fire erged in the air.

Glenn had no experience in bonding with a Soul Slave. His Soul-Fire was weak and scattered, far from enough to contain any creature with high Constitution, Soul, Wisdom, Spiritual Force, and energy levels.

That is to say, if and only if that intelligent lifeform surrendered itself as Glenn’s Soul Slave, things could work out his way.

“Wahaha! I, Lord Ba, am finally free, no longer loitering within the disgusting imaginary world. Finally, I can... I can... I... Woo...” a twenty-centiter long beautiful creature, blended harmoniously in red and green, materialized on Glenn’s shoulder.

This creature finally possessed a physical body in the endless worlds. It screeched excitedly and cried tears of joy.

A standard display of humanity and emotions.

Glenn’s face was white as a sheet. With a gesture, the Dinsional Gap started to close.

Gulp... Gulp...

Everything inside ‘Glenn’s Cottage’ was almost entirely lted. Glenn sealed the Dinsional Gap, clutched his woozy head and tried to catch his breath. Looking at the Steel Emblem Myna on his shoulder, he asked, “You ntioned that the Dinsional Gap is an imaginary space. What is that all about?”

“Woo... Because your Lord Ba, I, spent countless days inside the Dinsional Gap, found Venus the Goddess of Love and proved that the old bastard’s speculation was right.” The Steel Emblem Myna babbled on.

Venus the Goddess of Love?

At that very mont, it did not occur to Glenn that the goddess of love that the Steel Emblem Myna referred to was actually the perfu he invented.

It was a legendary novel that spread across the sorcerer continent. A tale of a beautiful knight who grew stronger just to resurrect the one she loved.

The story ended with Venus becoming the Goddess of Love, leaving the world bound by the rules of Paladins and reaching a higher spiritual space.

But now, the Steel Emblem Myna claid that he found Venus in the Dinsional Gap!

This...

It was hard to tell...

Was the so-called low latitude space actually a low dinsion novel world made out of the imagination of all lifeforms in endless worlds?

When strong creatures outgrow the low dinsion novel world, they move into so kind of space and wait for the entry of a greater dinsion world. That space was the Dinsional Gap?

These strong creatures were not satisfied with staying in their low dinsion novel world and wanted to get closer to their gods. Therefore, they strove hard, broke through the strongest level their world can sustain, and left the novel world.

When ‘they’ break through the barrier, the author of the novel would not write about ‘them’ which would bind them to the rules of the novel. Therefore, ‘they’ stayed in a space that only certain readers could access, readers like Glenn?

This space that only Glenn and certain readers could access... was known as the Dinsional Gap?

The Steel Emblem Myna’s excitent gradually simred down. It turned to Glenn and spoke softly, “You are the young bastard sorcerer that pulled , Lord Ba, out of the Dinsional Gap. The Old bastard sorcerer wants to tell you sothing.”

Glenn’s eye twitched under his pale mask. He fought back the urge to slice open the myna’s belly and strangle it with its intestines and instead asked, “What is it?”

“Endless world will never have a Rank Nine Great Necromancer!” The Steel Emblem Myna stated it as if it was already history set in stone.

Glenn’s complexion grew sickly, he asked hastily, “Why is that so?”

The Rank Nine Great Necromancer was the highest status all sorcerers believed in.

They believed that it was a state where a sorcerer experiences certain significant changes, greater than the sum of the changes they experienced from a sorcerer apprentice to a great necromancer.

Rumors were that when a Rank Eight Great Necromancer broke through and achieved the level of a Rank Nine Great Necromancer, it can only stay in the endless world for two hours before it transcends. After that, it will have no strings attached with any lifeform in the endless world.

The hourglass was invented as a proof that there were people who have succeeded in becoming a Rank Nine Great Necromancer.

It took two hours for all the sand in an hourglass to reach the bottom bulb. It took a complete cycle of a sun and a moon to call it a day. A day consists of twenty-four hours and it took an hour for a chanical clock to complete a sixty-minute cycle.

These were parts of the unique fundantal laws in the sorcery world.

Glenn could never understand why and how these unique fundantal laws were founded.

The Steel Emblem Myna murmured softly, “It is because that old bastard told right before he pulled the destiny lever. If I, Lord Ba, could find his favorite Venus in the Dinsional Gap, he will fulfil Lord Ba’s destiny.”

“Pulled the Destiny Lever?”

On his pale mask, Glenn’s eyes widened and he repeated the words with a gasp.

The Steel Emblem Myna did not pay heed to Glenn’s reaction, “And Lord Ba, I. wished to beco that old bastard’s master. Now... Lord Ba, I, can feel the presence of that old bastard. He has beco the dium of communication to all sorcerers in mysticism. It is exactly the sa as Venus the Goddess of Love in the endless world!”

***

Important Note:

Written as biographies in the sorcerer’s world, after Venus beca a goddess and resurrected her lover, she ascended to a higher level of spiritual space. Venus no longer appeared in that story.

The story continued with her resurrected lover building her a Goddess of Love church and sacrificing himself for the church so that other sacrifices could gain the Goddess’s blessings, thus becoming the ssenger that fights for the cause.

Such were the rules of that novel...

With the intelligence of a sorcerer, perhaps it was not appropriate to describe her as Venus the Goddess of Love who ascended as a godly being. She beca a new high-level ruler, an alibi for the sacrifices and ssengers, or maybe a magical ingredient that can be used for spells.
