If he managed to convert void mana at a rate of 100%, his attacks would reach a completely new level. Mages in the seventh realm would be ridiculously easy for him to kill.
Without thinking much, Kayden put it aside and began to float through the void. He knew that he would probably spend a long time alone in this environment until he encountered any other form of life.
While floating, he continued training his ability to convert mana. Even at a rate of 1%, he was still able to retain a good part of his abilities, even more so than when he used his absolute dominance he was able to reach 10%.
The time in that space hole together with Amanda bore fruit that Kayden would never achieve alone, mainly because he could kill himself as many times as he wanted to test his theories, one of which was about the consequences of using his absolute dominance.
At that moment, his most powerful spell did not have any direct consequences on his body, only in cases where he used it more than once in a single day, when this happened all his veins were burst by the pressure of the mana.
Slowly, Kayden was getting rid of this too, as with each small advancement he transformed his techniques and skills into less dependent on his body and more done outside being dependent only on his mind.
Time had no way of being measured in a vacuum. Kayden had no idea how long he had been floating and cultivating at the same time. He would be amazed to know that a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Kayden in that time found nothing relevant. Sometimes he came across some pieces of land floating in space, but that was it. Any form of life was not identified by him.
Messing around in space became one of his hobbies too. In this place, the space was relatively looser and formless. Kayden could expand his sense to about 100 kilometers easily. The funny thing is that he didn’t know exactly where the space was passing through.
It didn’t seem to be in the real universe, it seemed to be another layer without a defined shape, something even more primordial than anything he had ever seen. What exactly was unknown to him and not even after hundreds of tests was he able to achieve anything relevant.
To access the normal universe, Kayden needed to break this second space. It was much more difficult than it seemed and required at least a hundred times more effort and concentration than entering the void through the normal universe.

Kayden was able to break this barrier, but only after concentrating and spending a good part of his mana. At first, he could only open a few centimeters, but at the moment he could easily reach a few dozen of them.
The main point was how long Kayden could keep it. If he could hold it for more than a few seconds, he would be able to utilize his absolute dominance outside. Unfortunately, space is contorted in many spiritual senses.
The maximum he could reach would be around 2 thousand kilometers or a fifth of his full potential. And that’s only because he understood how space worked. Kayden estimated that if he had learned to manipulate space using the normal method, he would barely reach 500 kilometers.
"A lonely abomination," Kayden muttered as he came face to face with the first living being in a long time.
In front of him was a lanternfish with purple accents all over its body. Its teeth were huge and it had a mouth larger than half its body. On his forehead, a sort of mana lantern that functioned as an irrational spiritual sense radiated mana in all directions.
It was not difficult for Kayden to convert these waves of mana and return it as if there was no one in that location. It was extremely simple for him. The abomination’s methods were relatively simple. She threw mana for a few thousand kilometers and then ate whatever resonated with that mana.
Kayden saw the beast swallow massive chunks of dozens of kilometers of land with great ease. In just a few days, the animal found much more matter than Kayden had in months.
This situation motivated Kayden to just chase the animal and not attack it. At some point, he would end up coming across other living beings. Something about the abominations led them to great centers of mana and...
"Lonely beast!" A scream resounded through the mana and conveyed the message to everyone. In front of Kayden, a huge ship with mages in the sixth realm stretched out for a few kilometers.
From the shape of the ship and its crew, it was clear to Kayden that they were merchants and warriors, but neither of them was especially strong. Most had only five spokes, with only the captain having six spokes. This was incredibly weak considering what he was used to.
Taking into account that the average in the universe was not very strong and talented, this boat was with a strong escort. The average level of the universe in centers of developed civilizations was the fifth kingdom, being reached at the end of the citizens ’ lives and with a good portion in the sixth kingdom.
The number of rays was quite relative, but the common one was still between five and seven. Above that, they were ridiculously rare cases, and below that they were considered people with very low talent or just too mediocre.
Kayden saw a small battle unfold in front of him. It wasn’t anything too incredible. They were just simple attacks without any major effect between them. What set them apart was their ability to organize their attacks together to make something stronger.
The abomination seemed to have an infinite supply of purple fire in its stomach. She continued to throw flames at the crew. His attacks caused enormous pain and quickly consumed his opponent’s entire body.
After some of the crew were killed, Kayden appeared over the beast using a small rupture in space and delivered a large aura attack that cut it into two halves instantly.
