Chapter 738 [White gate]
[Eon's POV: ]
The [White crack] skill of my origin skill was something that has saved me many times in that great forest, and I have always been extremely grateful for it.
I possessed it, I know, but if not for that one skill, I don't know how I would have carried important supplies with me, how I would have transported all the important stuff that I needed from one place to another, and this skill has been very useful during combat situations as well, so if not for the [White crack] I would very well have?died a long time ago.
I owed my present to it… so when it evolved into the next stage, I was very excited to try it out and see what new cool things it was capable of.
'I have wanted to try it ever since I got it but because of the circumstances, I couldn't do it. But, well, looking at this, it's better that I didn't use it on the battlefield, or in my house.'
The [White crack] that had evolved into [White gate] was not just a white crack with eternal endlessness inside of it.
It wasn't something that only I could see either.
Rein could see it as soon as I used the skill, and as both of us looked at what had appeared before us, we couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.
"This is big, keke."
"Yeah… unexpectedly so."
There was a gate, an actual physical gate present before us right now.
A pure white gate with many unique patterns made of every colour imaginable covering every part of it.
The gate itself was around nine metres in highest and three metres in diameter and, even though it was only a thin gate, both of us knew for a fact this gate was not just a two dimensional structure.
"There will be something behind this, right?"
"We will have to check that for ourselves, dear."
The gate was one of the most gorgeous structures we had ever seen in our long lives… even my previous world did not possess something as magnificent as this thing.
'It seemed to be crafted by the hands of celestial divinities who had seen all beauty, all happiness, all sorrows and all light of this world… this gate was simply ineffable.'
That's why we didn't waste much of our time thinking about useless things, and just accepted the endless beauty of this gate for now.
We would have however long we needed to think about this gate, the patterns all over it, the colours, and its structure.
This forest wasn't the best place for things like that, so we just moved our attention to the important parts.
"How will you open this though? Is there a key? Can anyone open this? Or will it only open when you use your Mana?"
"Nah… I don't think I'll need any of that for this gate."
It was my skill.
I owned it.
Which simply means it was an extension of my own self. My own will.
-Ooooooooooooong!
I just thought about it, and the grand doors of the white gate opened up for us, revealing a familiar endless whiteness.
"Is this how you always saw this?"
"Yeah. Just that… it has never been this big."
The gate was many times bigger than both of us, actually, it was big enough for a few thin giants to pass through. But it would be a problem-
'Oh, wait. I don't really need a bigger gate. If this gate works the same way as the crack, then it can take in any kind of being as long as it touches the surface of it.'
If so, then I can now most probably even store something like her grandma's giant turtle in here.
I don't have to push something inside of it anymore. It's a gate now so things can pass through it on their own.
"Shall we?" I extended my hand towards her, with an excited smile, and she accepted it with an even more excited smile than mine.
"Of course! Let's go see what's behind that endless whiteness you talked so highly of~!"
There was something behind this whiteness and now, we can go in there and see for ourselves what kind of place all the things I put in my storage space goes to.
-Ooooooooooooong!
This was fun for both of us, so we walked in the gates without any hesitation and… when we crossed the unique gate, contrary to my expectations, we didn't end up in some kind of endless space where everything is just floating around.
No. When we crossed the white gate, we ended up in a good large courtyard with a circular structure present some distance away from us.
"Wow…"
Everything was white in this place.
There was no ceiling here but the space above us seemed to be filled with the endless whiteness that we saw before crossing the gate.
The gate itself had vanished from behind us after we crossed it, and now, there was only us in this place, along with this white, peaceful courtyard and that building in the distance.
"Welp… I wasn't expecting this."
"Me neither, but if I have to say something about this, I would certainly say this place is very much like you, darling. Clean.
And I bet the things you throw in this place would all be systematically gathered in that building. You like it that way so your skill would represent it to you in that way as well, right?"
"Hmmm…"
Well, what she said could certainly be the case. Or, if not that, this could simply also be a setting born from my subconscious… or it could be random as well, we don't know that.
One thing we know for sure though, was how this place, this certain ground with a physical building present here, was not merely a storage space as we had known it to be.
It could have been a mere storage space in the past but now, it was not something so simple.
"A [Pocket dimension]… I wasn't expecting this."
"Time flows so slowly it's pretty negligible as well."
There was air here so we could breathe. There was solid ground and living organisms could stay here for a long time as well.
There was atmosphere, space, and as Rein could tell, the flow of time in this place was almost ignorable as well so this was the perfect place to study something, or train without worrying about anything.
It was a pocket dimension, a special space that only those with the deepest understanding of space-time magic could ever create after decades and centuries of long research.
Few beings in the world had a completely unique space of their own where they alone were the sovereigns and those beings mostly possessed titles closer to divinities.
A completely unique dimension of one's own was something much more precious than a subspace or a storage where one could store living organisms.
'This was a formidable power that was unfathomably powerful in the hands of those who understood its power, and when we add the 'time' factor, this pocket dimension was one of a kind ability.'
Aside from some of the true gods of the world, there shouldn't be any being in this world that possessed the same kind of unique ability as this one.
I, for one, certainly don't know if there is anyone with such terrifying ability.
'Which ultimately means something very good.'
This was my space and I was the only person that could access it.
Master had connected this space with my storage bracelet so there is a way to connect this place and the outside world.
There are enough resources in here for a good amount of beings to live for a long while so even if I move out and somehow the flow of time in here is changed in some way, the beings would still have enough resources to survive on their own…
'It should be easy to guess what I was getting at with that kind of thought process, and I know Rein already knows what I'm thinking about.'
This was a terrifying ability that was going to be very useful. Very, very, very useful. Especially when we need some extra help during the times of war.
"You have that over excited smile, Eon. Even I'm getting goosebumps looking at you."
She was saying that with an excited smile of her own so I can tell she was also just as excited as I was right now.
There was no way we wouldn't be excited by an ability of this scale, especially in a time like this.
"This is going to be exciting, hahaha."
I couldn't hold back my laughter. And right after me, she also got excited and started running around the place with excitement.
She wanted to go in and see what's inside but, the place we were in, this open compound with some strange lights glowing on certain places was also exciting so she first went to one of these lights, but…
[[ *You shouldn't just touch it like that, Elle.* ]]
Both of us heard a voice that was familiar only to me… and, had to freeze in our places for different reasons.
