Void Evolution System

Chapter 1349  New Beginning [5]

The journey was longer than expected.

When Damien said the mana was complete, he meant it. Even the Void couldn't exert as much influence here as it could in the lower universe, and there were hardly any openings that could be exploited.

One was practically forced to act within the bounds of law if they wanted to live, and as someone who'd encountered the Heavenly Order before, Damien didn't doubt there'd be some kind of punishment for trying to defy them.

Still, it was difficult to see just how complete the laws were until one experienced them oneself.

For Damien, that moment was the second he started teleporting. Moving through the spatial layers felt like being surrounded by molasses. They were densely packed and had a thickness incomparable to the lower universe.

Any movement through them felt sluggish, and while distance could still be covered, it was far slower than its regular potential.

Though, the meaning of "far slower" was relative to a universally acclaimed genius like Damien.

'Damn. I was approaching a level where I could move a billion kilometers in a single step, but even a few tens of millions feel difficult now.'

If any other spatial practitioner heard him, they'd surely succumb to the desire to beat him to a pulp.

Tens of millions of kilometers was nothing? With the mana pool of a Demigod, this was still a travel efficiency most people needed to spend egregious amounts of money to replicate through artifacts and arrays!

The Heavenly World was massive. Simply traveling by oneself was practically impossible for those who couldn't afford spirit vehicles, and even then, most people would choose to use public transportation provided by large influences for the sake of convenience.

Tens of millions of miles was quite the distance, but in terms of the Heavenly World, it was a span of land that could easily be ignored.

After all, when Damien teleported for the first time and came out 50 million kilometers away, he was still within the lush forest, and the terrain didn't change enough for him to assume he was close to the exit.

It took another ten leaps of the same length to finally find something different, and that was only after he spent a few days exploring the forest itself.

The worst part was...when he left the forest, all he saw was bare land.

'Hahaha…don't tell me I'm that unlucky…?'

Was this a barren area?

'Well, whatever, I just need to–'

VOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A huge sound filled the air.

The ground didn't rumble and nothing seemed to change, which was a bit confusing, but Damien was quick to find the source of the grand fluctuation.

'Haha, as expected, my luck hasn't failed me.'

In the sky above, far beyond the clouds, there was "something" moving extremely fast. It housed so many life auras that it couldn't be a beast, which meant it had to be a human-made flight artifact.

'I don't know where it's going, but it's definitely going towards civilization.'

Damien was a logical person. He wasn't just going to follow an unreasonably fast spirit vehicle on the ground and expect to keep up with it.

He cuffed Damien's hands in front of him and, with his troops still covering every side to make sure the prisoner couldn't escape, he guided Damien into the starship.

The internal structure was lavish. The floors were carpeted and the pressure stabilization made it so it was no different from standing on land inside. It was ventilated somehow, and the overall ambiance was more like a luxury hotel than a starship.

'People really live large around these parts.'

Damien admired the wonders of innovation as the soldiers led him through the halls.

They had used some sort of concealment device to make their presence invisible to the ship's passengers, obviously a method to ensure no panic would break out, and once again Damien had to marvel at their customer service abilities.

'More than any of that, these cuffs sure are interesting.'

He'd seen handcuffs that sealed mana before, but this one was even more advanced than that. It had the function of sealing all powers, including Divinity.

'It isn't really succeeding at sealing mine since it's a Divinity built on the Void, but they don't even seem to know I'm a Demigod in the first place.'

He could also feel something trying to interfere with his senses, but because of the All-Seeing Eyes, that had become his regular pupils instead of an inherited trait, even that mechanism malfunctioned.

It was a little comedic when he thought about it.

In the first place, these guards were all Supremes. If he wanted to, he could evaporate all of them by blinking.

'Is there something different going on? Everyone in the lower universe seemed to inherently understand that I'd ascended, but here they can't sense it.'

Maybe the assumptions he made about the Void earlier were wrong?

'If so…'

He definitely needed to investigate his limits when he had some free time, but that could be done later.

Their group had already arrived at their location, an isolated room within a series of corridors long disconnected from the passenger area of the ship.

Damien was sat in a chair there in a room that looked like the poster child for interrogation rooms and forced to wait for hours.

'Is this a psychological tactic? It's not bad, but they should really do some checks before starting something like this.'

He smiled wryly.

If he was affected by the sense blocking and Divinity blocking, he probably would've been panicking by now, but wasn't he completely fine?

Not only was he fine, but his All-Seeing Eyes didn't really let him remain unaware of the presences around him.

Especially those behind the one-way mirror.

None of them had the aura of a God that Damien wanted to feel, but there were at least three powerful Demigods among them.

And behind even them, far separated from this place yet watching it through their awareness, was another Divinity.

That one…

'That one is definitely stronger than the Saint Emperor.'
