So it didn't matter if I could use that god sent ability of his race or not. For now, what really mattered was to stop the grand scheme of the enemy and stop them from taking everything and everyone down with them.
As for this ability… it was another talk for another day. "Tell me, how can I find and remove the threat of these bombs?"
That was what really mattered right now. Eyes on the mission Hye, eyes on the mission!
"Well, it's not that difficult for you to sense them," Real paused, as if he struggled to tell me what to do, "well, you got to enter that place again and look for any sparkling red items around you."
"Around me? Not on the other side of the mirror?"
"I told you before, these bombs were installed using our time ability. And that meant they were planted in the past, not in the present. To sense and locate them, you have to use the time ability and detect them. And that means you'll find them around you, not anywhere in this side of the world."
"I see…" I tried to recall seeing anything glaring red, but couldn't. At that time, I got puzzled and busy trying to get out of there, "then how about defusing them?"
"It's easy… You gotta go there, grab them, and get out of your world."
He said this and stopped. Which urged me to ask for more. "And?"
"That's it," unlike what I expected, he shrugged, as if this was all it took for me to do it, "once you took them out, they'd clash with the present time, lose their purpose, and fade in thin air."
"Without exploding? Are you sure they won't get triggered and explode or something?"
"No, it's totally safe," he paused, "and this is the standard and most secure way to deal with these bombs."
"Ok, let me check this region first… By the way, how long is my ability coverage?"
"It depends," he didn't give me a direct answer. And when I looked at him in a weird way, he added, "we didn't have anyone with your ability for a long time already. So it's expected that we don't know many details."
"Got it," I nodded, despite not liking what he said. The next moment I started doing that weird dance, feeling the same entrance and weird feeling.
Yet this time I didn't end up doing this dance forever like before. This time I got sucked into the weird mirror world, where the world looked like it got another one similar to it.
"Shining bright red lights… Where the heck are you?" I looked around, while noticing fewer changes between this side of the mirror than the real world.
Aside from all the cracks I released by moving around, I noticed that only these cracks appeared from my body, not my chariot. And that meant it was limited only to myself, not to my belongings.
Then there was the biggest difference here… I could see the planet and moons, but when I focused, I felt like they were all in hologram form or something.
They kept flickering, getting condensed before they got fading slowly. And when they did, I started to spot many red dots over there.
"Found you!" I instantly pushed my chariot to the limit, travelled so damn faster than I even experienced so far.
For a reason, it wasn't just time that got affected here, but physical laws and other worldly laws as well.
As I gave the order to my chariot, it started to flash, seemingly teleporting from one point to another at the horizon.
Getting to the dark planet would take me a few hours at least out there. But here, all I needed was just a few minutes, not exceeding five!
That was a new experience, totally new for me.
When I arrived at that dark planet, I confirmed my earlier guesses. "It's indeed not real, at least not physically real," I passed my hands and then my chariot through the surface and layers of that planet.
I passed through, everything passed through it like it wasn't even there! I went deep inside that planet, while getting obscured at many occasions by the planet shifting ability, then getting everything around faded in weird ways.
It was a weird experience to be honest, one that I never experienced before.
"There!" but that didn't stop me from watching and trying to spot the locations of these bombs. When I got closer to the planet, I could see tons of these bombs installed inside it, which was something quite scary.
Would this be the case for the rest of this world? The rest of this universe?
I truly didn't care that much about the enemy ten home lands, except in the case the system higher ups would agree to my request to add them under my control and ownership.
If so, then losing these ten worlds would be more like losing things I owned. "I should first work to see if this method works or not. Then I'll work first to save this world, the other nineteen ones, before thinking about going to the other ten worlds of the enemy."
If the enemy decided to blow everything up and succeeded in triggering these bombs, then it'd be safe to save the worlds that belonged to my universe first.
As I decided on my next course of action, I started to move around, getting closer to the first bomb.
The closer I got, the bigger this flickering red light became. It was just like an alarm lamp, glaring up for a few seconds, before fading and dying out in the next few seconds.
It kept repeating this siren pattern forever. And when I drew closer, all I could see was something closer to what this planet and other dark moons looked like.
"Don't tell me I won't be able to touch it!" I extended my glaive out, touched this bomb, while expecting the worst.
