Seeing such a grand number of black holes made my forehead sweat in a nervous way. If I ever got close enough to any of them, then I'd be gone!
"How come someone managed to pass in between the two worlds then?" I tried to calm myself down, think more rationally about this crisis while stopping Lucas II from forming any new land.
"Don't tell me… These threads can protect anyone inside from these black holes!" I couldn't think of anything else but this.
I tried my best to evade going into these traps, but those damn dirty minded jumper ancestors made sure that no one would pass between the two halves of the world without passing through the thread channels.
Tsk! I tried my best to avoid going there, but the jumpers' ancestors were really cunning bastards! Seeing how desperate they were to do such a thing made me want even more to not follow their plans.
"Let's see what you prepared for me there… Lucas II, take us towards this pillar of light," after thinking deeply for a few hours, I couldn't find any other solution aside from passing through one of the thin lines around and heading towards the other part of the world.
No matter what they prepared for me out there, I planned to use brute force and crush everything!
"Keep forming land when we got inside," just in two hours, we finally arrived near one of these portal pathways.
And when I got there, I found that the silver ground Lucas II kept forming got stopped at the outer area of this portal. Something inside kept the silver dots outside, preventing it from forming anything inside.
Going inside felt like passing under a giant waterfall. My chariot kept trembling and the next instant, the shield that surrounded it started to show cracks.
"Tsk! You are so damn adamant on killing and stopping anyone getting inside no matter what… Then let's see how you are going to deal with this… Thundering Might!"
The pillar shook and a shield appeared. The pillar got augmented and enhanced, so its shield wasn't stopped by any sort of force.
In addition to that, the force that was brutal enough to cause such cracks all over my chariot's shield was getting absorbed by my pillar's shield as well.
This added more to the strength of my shields, and then I started to see the force outside getting negated by my pillar's shield's appearance.
The shield seemed to intervene in something, severing the connection of the force around my chariot and separating it from the outside.
At the same time, I started to inspect how grand the space inside these threads was!
The threads looked quite thin and weak from the outside, looking like they wouldn't cover tens of miles at most.
But when I went inside, I noticed that the area all around me was at least a thousand miles in radius, if not more. The edge of that portal vanished, and a weird black, blue, and red space surrounded me in dense layers of fog.
"Dammit! The portal edge vanished! How come I get out now?" I realised the seriousness of this issue, tried to move my chariot around but to no avail.
The two shield layers stopped any outside force from harming my chariot. At the same time, the chariot regained its ability to fly again.
I couldn't tell the true nature of the forces inside this portal, and couldn't even tell a direction. The sight of the two worlds vanished, and only that weird looking dog remained.
"Tsk! Let's see if you can stop me after a few hours," I didn't hurry to use my trump card to leave. I already estimated the thickness of the black hole layer, and it was almost enough for my chariot to pass through it in four hours using the mediocre speed from earlier.
But if my chariot used its top speed just like now, then in an hour or so I'd be able to cross that black hole layer and end up in a safe zone outside.
To be safer, I gave myself three more hours. I didn't just do it to be safe, but also to charge up my two shields with the forces clashing from outside.
During which, I kept using my pillar and formed new shields to support the outer one. From time to time, cracks would appear over the shields outside if I got delayed in adding more layers to inspect something or getting drifted away with my thoughts.
That told me how fierce the kind of clashes going on outside. With each time I used my pillar, the shield zone got increased, engulfing more of that weird looking fog, and the weird forces inside.
That placed more pressure on my chariot's shield as the time went on. However no matter how the pressure turned, the chariot kept supporting the shield with the energy I stored inside earlier, and the shield didn't show any cracks again.
"It's time!" After four hours from getting inside, and even when I didn't see anyone at all during my stay here, I decided to take the initiative to leave here.
After staying for four hours inside this weird place, I lost my sense of direction. I couldn't tell if I was heading upwards, downwards, or even moving in circles around the same spot!
It was indeed quite scary, but that didn't stop me from activating my shield's offensive abilities.
The stored up attacks were good enough to wipe out any enemy outside, but I doubted it was enough to change and impact the weird foggy world around.
I tried before and asked Lucas II to change the terrain into a clear sky, but he failed. The moment his silver energy got outside the chariot and clashed with the weird energy outside, it got crushed and vanished like it never existed before.
This is indeed quite surprising. And for a moment there I couldn't help but admire the preparations of the jumpers' ancestors.
