They ended up in the same exact space as the one they landed at before. That meant either the black holes had many inner spaces, with each separated from each other by a thin layer of black matter and insane gravity, or they got moved to another black hole.
He couldn't tell, even if he walked around and checked the place, he wouldn't know. That didn't bother him right now, but he was thinking about what would happen when they'd move towards the portal. Would they end up dragged like this, ending in another space or black hole? How would he know the portal he'd activate and change to match the destination towards his world was?
He hoped nothing bad would happen, and still he knew something like that was doomed to occur. Even if he showed his disagreement with what Ibra used to say about him, deep inside his spirit he knew that was true.
He was a magnet for serious stuff and bad things.
"This should be the exit towards the portal," Karoline acted as the guide of the team, and led them all the way towards the edge of this space. There was the same brown dust, making a huge wall that spanned east and west, filling the world around and blocking any path forward.
"Are you sure?" Sara expressed the doubts others had about this place, "won't we get dragged again?"
"We will get dragged indeed, but this time we can resist it," Karoline paused, "we need to stay together, work to fight back the gravity and stop our advance. When we do that, we can explore the area there and find where the portal is."
"Let's do it," William knew letting his friends argue together wouldn't help. They had to test it, and the worst thing would be for them to get dragged to another space.
As he decided, others kept what they wanted to say deep within. "How are we going to do it?" William turned to Karoline, and the latter shrugged.
"I just roared back then and a hole appeared…"
"I knew you did that on purpose! Tsk!" Ibra shook his head, referring to the moment when she let them get dragged to this space. And Karoline just kept her silence, showing an evil smile on her face, confirming what Ibra just said.
"Let's shout then," William couldn't help but surprised by how Karoline acted towards those insulting her. He then shouted, with others as well, ending up forming a big hole in the middle of all the brown dust.
They felt the same gravitational force, yet when they got dragged forward, they felt how weak it was. It wasn't like before, not acting domineering or overbearing in any way.
William was prepared for that. He was in his spirit body form, moved his four tails, grabbing one of his friends, preventing them from getting far from him.
As he held them, he spoke to make them use any technique to resist the pulling force. Everyone used their techniques and elements, all but Karoline. She had zero technique to use, and didn't have any training technique to begin with.
William used his earth element, forming lots of rocks that grew up fast, surrounding him and others like chains, preventing them from following the will of the gravitational force.
At first they kept moving forward at a fast speed, but soon enough their speed started to greatly drop. In just a minute, they totally stopped and didn't move an inch, landing on the ground while being surrounded by William's tails.
"Where should we go?" William asked, feeling immense pressure coming from this gravity. He knew Karoline's past experience came when she was just too strong, staying at the pinnacle of the world's power. So it was expected that what was pretty easy for her would be quite challenging for him and his friends.
"Go north," she shouted, and her voice became quite shaky. Among everyone, she was the weakest, the most vulnerable one to get pulled by this force.
Not to mention she felt more bitterness as she felt how crazy the difference between her past power and now was.
"How can we find north in this situation?!!" Berry shouted, and her voice came as if she was screaming or something.
"Just go opposite to the direction of that gravity," Karoline yelled, and William got what she meant.
"Won't we end up at the same place we came from? Tsk! I don't want to end up at the same empty and ruined place… Wait, why won't we discuss it more before moving?"
Ibra shouted especially when William dragged them and moved step by step to the opposite direction of the gravitational force. He trusted Karoline's words, as she was the only person here who experienced this before, the only person who reached the portal and knew how to reach there.
William ignored the whining of his friend, kept moving forward step by step. At first, he felt like his legs were moving in a dense layer of sand, but then things started to get better.
The more he advanced, the weaker the pulling gravity power would be. At the same time, the world was formed of flashing layers of blackness, but it started to grow fainter until he could see what was lying around.
He was walking in the middle of a place filled with green trees and plants. It was weird, as this place shouldn't nourish such vegetation at all.
"I shall take a few and study them later," he grew curious about how these plants grew in such impossible conditions. So he worked his claws, and gathered lots of these herbs and plants, seeds, tree bark pieces, and even leaves and flowers as well.
At some point, he grabbed entire trees and herbs, pulled them by the root, and stored them in his rings. He knew they wouldn't survive that much there, but he was destined to meet up with a pleasant surprise later on.
