Chapter 551: Chapter 117: Authority Peak? Prelude to Infiltrating the Other Cosmos
What lies beyond the Cosmos?
Using the power of his Space Authority, Lince continuously elevated the dimension of his perspective.
He did his utmost to see the outside world clearly.
But even so, Lince still couldn’t see much.
Then, in a sudden instant, a force seemed to yank at Lince’s vision, granting him an outrageously high-dimensional perspective.
And what did He see?
At that moment, the outer reaches of Subspace appeared in Lince’s eyes as a completely invisible, thin film.
And on this film, another film from the outside world was currently pressing against it.
How could one describe this feeling?
It was a scene of large spheres squeezing smaller ones, a multitude of cosmoses pressing against and leaning on each other.
Beyond the Cosmos, surprisingly, there was no void of chaos.
Instead, it was an extremely crowded and bustling scene.
One could imagine this also meant that beyond his own Cosmos, a great number of other cosmoses existed.
They were all racing against time to strengthen themselves, squeezing the living space of all other cosmoses.
Currently, the Cosmos Lince inhabited was pressed against a total of five worlds of varying sizes.
Among them, three were small, one was medium, and one was large.
The three "small" ones were three cosmic bubbles, none as large as his own Cosmos.
The "medium" one, naturally, was similar in scale to his own Cosmos.
And the "large" one was, of course, a Cosmos even larger than his own.
This was all that the vision granted to Lince by that unknown power allowed him to observe for now.
As for whether there were even more cosmoses pressed together behind these ones...
Lince had no way of knowing, but he felt it was highly likely.
’Life is not alone, planets are not alone, and even the Cosmos itself is not alone.’
’Far from being alone, it’s practically a bustling metropolis out here!’
Lince observed the bubbles that had appeared in his field of vision.
At the same time, a new question formed in his mind.
’It’s so crowded out here. Yet, my own Cosmos is still expanding and growing. Where does that growth come from?’
This question had only just arisen.
The next moment, Lince’s consciousness seemed to go black. Then, as if in the blink of an eye, He suddenly saw it.
The sudden collapse of a Cosmos!
It was a tiny Cosmos, about one-fifth smaller than even the three small cosmoses He had just seen.
This Cosmos, under the pressure of several surrounding cosmoses, abruptly burst!
It was just like a bubble popping.
There was no grand spectacle, nor could He see the wails of any living beings.
The bubble’s annihilation transformed it into a cloud of flowing light.
And without a doubt, the moment this flowing light was born from the collapse, it was frantically devoured by terrifying vortexes that formed on the outer ’films’ of the surrounding cosmoses.
Everything happened so quickly, and it seemed to cause not the slightest ripple.
’A Cosmos was just carved up and devoured like that?!’
Lince stared blankly at the scene.
At that same moment, He finally saw it.
From the massive streams of light devoured by his own Cosmos, more than ten items of varying sizes ultimately shot out and scattered.
And this stuff...
Lince was all too familiar with it.
’Aren’t these the core fragments of the Cosmic Game that the God of Thousand Faces showed me before?’
’So, was this vision actually feedback from the True Game?’
’They all originate from a collapsed Cosmos?’
’Or perhaps, they’re fragments of the source Law left behind by a Destruction Cosmos?’
’Their origin is truly extraordinary.’
’But this also indirectly explains why they possess such powerful supportive abilities.’
’They’re even a great help to Authority Level beings.’
’But why do these fragments manifest in the form of a ’game’?’
’Is it just a coincidence that they all happened to encounter technological civilizations?’
’And then mimicked the mechanics of a game?’
’That can’t be right, can it?’
’A destroyed Cosmos?’
Lince had reason to suspect that the game-like nature of these fragments was definitely related to some popular method of advancement in the destroyed Cosmos.
’Perhaps the advancement system itself was gamified.’
With that thought, Lince finally felt he had figured out everything about the True Game and the Cosmic Game.
However, whether or not he figured this out was actually of little consequence to an Authority Level being.
Right now, what Lince cared about most was the expansion of the Cosmos.
It actually relied on a method akin to ’large spheres devouring small ones’!
Several cosmoses would join forces, using some invisible power to tear apart the smallest Cosmos, and then divide and devour it.
This was simply too brutal.
It even surpassed the limits of Lince’s comprehension.
’So, the expansion of the Cosmos has nothing to do with us, the beings living inside it?’
’Our efforts aren’t needed, and we can’t contribute anyway? Even if our own Cosmos was on the brink of destruction, could we only watch helplessly?’
Lince speculated inwardly.
But He quickly dismissed this idea.
Because if that were truly the case, then this elevated, higher-dimensional vision He had been granted would be completely meaningless.
’Since the will of the cosmic laws has allowed me to see all this, then it must naturally have a purpose and a logic behind it.’
And as Lince was thinking this, the next moment, what was bound to come finally arrived.
A torrent of information suddenly flooded into Lince’s mind.
A vast amount of information surged and ebbed within his thoughts.
At the same time, in the instant Lince opened his eyes, having filtered out the important information and understood everything...
...His form appeared once again in the Star Sea of the material world.
This time, Lince had been ’fished’ out of Subspace by the cosmic laws once more.
