Chapter 438: The Pale Space
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“This is…” After recovering from his dizziness, the ‘Legendary Hunter’ first noticed the abnormal space around him.
The dashboard, which had become chaotic after the ‘loud bang,’ did not seem to have returned to normal. The data was still fluctuating on a large scale as if the impact of the ‘loud bang’ had not dissipated.
“What a complicated situation…Did the ‘Great Ascension’ succeed or fail? I clearly wasn’t within the scope of the ‘ascension’ plan, so why would I be in such a place?”
The abnormal situation quickly made the ‘Legendary Hunter’ realize it was caused by the ‘Great Ascension,’ but he couldn’t understand what was happening.
“According to some of the ‘theories’ that I know of, after the ‘Great Ascension’ occurs, ‘we’ will not maintain such a ‘lifeform’ state…” He looked at his body and the various instruments in the cockpit again.
Those things did not change much. They were still in the state that he understood and should have. For example, he was an almost pure lifeform organism, and only one percent of his body was mechanical. The control of the spaceship was also as usual. It would take action based on the reading of his awareness signal.
Other than the environment, everything was the same as before.
That was undoubtedly very abnormal.
Even if the ‘Legendary Hunter’ was not a ‘researcher’ in the civilization, he knew what kind of project the ‘Great Ascension’ was.
That was the real process of crossing from a ‘low dimension’ to a ‘higher dimension,’ transforming them from a bunch of ‘data’ into real ‘life.’
As the party on the ‘low dimension,’ although they could not understand the ‘higher dimension’ part at all and could only make guesses based on existing theories, it was still impossible for ‘nothing to have changed.’
If so, the result was already imaginable. Their ‘Great Ascension’ had most likely encountered some problems, or they had simply failed, which was why he had come to such a strange alternate dimension.
“The degrees on the dashboard have been in chaos since the ‘loud bang’ appeared. It’s basically impossible to determine the state of the surrounding cosmic environment through this…”
The ‘Legendary Hunter’ assessed the current situation and carefully observed the surroundings.
With all the electronic devices malfunctioning, he could only observe with his naked eyes.
Therefore, he carefully sailed in that alternate dimension for a while and eventually found some ‘things’ with his naked eyes.
“…Eh, he came in too?”
After seeing the familiar spaceship, the ‘Legendary Hunter’ couldn’t help but be stunned momentarily.
He had thought that only he, who was related to the ‘Great Ascension,’ would arrive there. Now it seemed that the influence of the ‘Great Ascension’ was far greater than he had imagined.
Yes, the spaceship he saw belonged to ‘Scarface.’
As the detectors and sensors were not working properly, he could not see it clearly with his naked eye. However, the familiarity made him confirm that it was the spaceship of ‘Scarface’ that he had been fighting not long ago.
What surprised him even more was that the other party seemed to have noticed his arrival. The originally slow sailing speed suddenly increased, and quickly made several maneuvers. It was about to disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye.
It was obvious that ‘Scarface’ was still the ‘Scarface’ he knew. Even though they had come to that alternate dimension, nothing had changed.
Just as he was excited to see an ‘acquaintance’ there, the ‘world’ they were in suddenly changed.
At first, there were specks of light that looked like stars in that pitch-black alternate dimension. At first glance, they thought those were stars in the distant sky. But on a closer look, they realized that those were things that looked like words.
They hung on the ‘background of the universe’ and became the ‘stars’ there.
In addition to those strange character light spots, a large number of neat ‘straight lines’ appeared in the space. Those glowing ‘lines’ extended from one end of the deep space to the other. They had no beginning or end, and the entire space was divided into countless rectangular shapes.
The rectangular shapes cut out by those ‘lines’ were combined again to form a cuboid. He and ‘Scarface’ were part of those cut cuboid spaces.
Such a bizarre scene shocked the ‘Legendary Hunter’ and ‘Scarface,’ making them put aside their battle for the time being and watch the great changes in the alternate dimension in a daze.
Then, in those divided spaces, the glowing characters representing ‘data’ began to increase significantly, filling the spaces rapidly and transforming into images they could understand.
The images of the ‘world.’
The spaces separated by the lines were like screens. They categorized the ‘world’s’ past and played them as images.
That place was like an ‘archive’ in a game. Countless ‘pasts’ were saved there. Some scenes started from the Big Bang, and some started from the Big Collapse. The ‘world’ that covered countless ‘pasts’ and countless time periods were all saved there.
It was as if, as long as one wanted to, one could become part of that time period through those divided ‘pasts.’
The ‘Legendary Hunter’ and ‘Scarface,’ who were in a certain ‘historical scene,’ felt as if they had become a part of that ‘history.’ On the level of ‘data,’ which they couldn’t see with their naked eyes, the ‘data’ that represented them was assimilating into that part of the ‘history.’
When the data conversion was completely successful, they would be completely separated from the original timeline at that moment. Their ‘data’ would no longer be a part of the ‘universe’ they were in but a part of a destroyed ‘past.’
However, the transformation soon stopped.
The ‘Legendary Hunter’ realized that the images displayed in the space they were in began to disappear rapidly. It did not take long for it to become a void space without any images. It was a blank space that did not fit in with the other countless ‘pasts’ divided by the ‘lines.’
‘Scarface’ was also in the same space as him. They did not understand what was going on. It was the ‘Legendary Hunter’ who sensed something wrong.
At that moment, he finally displayed some qualities of an ‘advanced civilization.’ Although he had never personally fought with the ‘Scribe’ civilization, he had been taught knowledge related to the ‘Scribe’ as a member of the space warriors, including the part of language.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the ‘lines’ that separated that empty space were floating with the words of the ‘Scribe’ language.
That place seemed to have been specially isolated by the ‘Scribe..’
