ROAR!
That roar which came out of nowhere shook even the tranquil chaotic space. It even distorted it to the point that in my eyes, the Chaotic Space in this World Zone was shaking.
There's no doubt. That creature should be a type of Space Beast... But I'd never seen one who could conceal itself like that. No. Was it swimming as though the Chaotic Space was an ocean?
As my mind revolved around that thought, the reality of the situation set in.
If the voice of the six-eyed Transcendent could make my ears hurt, this roar coming from the emerging creature was enough to make my senses close to crumbling.
My consciousness is about to dim. Up becomes down and down becomes up. Furthermore, I feel like I am in freefall even though I remain floating in this nothingness.
I don't even have the time to think about the six-eyed Transcendent that was chasing after me.
All I could manage to do was struggle to stay awake and get away from the effective range of this gigantic creature.
"Ugh..."
As I failed to hold back my grain, my bones felt like they were starting to crack under the pressure of the unidentified Space Beast. My only saving grace was that compared to my pursuer, I was ahead of him and was really close to the boundary where the Space Beast's influence should lessen.
Time seemed to slow down. When I got ahold of my sense of vision, the creature was still in the process of rising from where it came from.
Its roar continued to disturb the Chaotic Space but thanks to my Adaptability's quick effect, I finally got a gist of why its pressure was this huge.
It isn't just a Transcendent Level Space Beast. It is bordering the Sage Level!
This type of Space Beast should be on the ninth layer of Density-1 or even at the lower layers of the Density-2 World Zones.
This shouldn't be here at all.
Did it travel through deep space? Possibly. But without the use of wormholes, that should be impossible...
Ugh...
I should stop thinking about that for now. My survival here was my number one priority.
After an undetermined time because of my distorted senses, I once again heard the grating voice of the six-eyed Transcendent.
Unlike earlier, his inherent ability wasn't activated. He's in the same state as me.
Surprised and flabbergasted at the Space Beast's sudden appearance.
"W-what the?!"
From the corner of my eyes, I could see the six-eyed Transcendent cursing out as he immediately attempted to swim out of the Space Beast's influence. His Domain had already shattered into pieces from that ungodly roar.
For sure, he also felt the pressure coming from it. No matter how confident he is with his ability, he'll be like an ant in front of that gigantic creature.
Even now, I couldn't even see its full form. Only the silhouette that was occupying my vision.
And at this moment, something else came into my view.
A large amount of Chaotic Energy that looked like droplets of water was about to rain down on us. Or in other words, within the vicinity of that creature.
Most likely, with it breaking through the stable surface of the Chaotic Space, those broken pieces turned to become like splashes of water from the creature's point of emergence.
Right. The thought that the Chaotic Space was like a sea for it might be real.
I have to get out... But can I do that?
Regrettably, that line of thinking was naïve. There's no getting out of this. The only thing I could do was to dodge it and hope not to be drowned by it.
At almost the same time, those huge droplets of Chaotic Energy rained down on us.
The six-eyed Transcendent started screaming at the top of his lungs as the shower Chaotic Energy started boring a hole through his Source Energy protection with its potent corruption properties.
He cracked his whip to at least block some of those but it was futile in the end.
His body started sizzling as though he was getting grilled as opposed to being bathed in it.
Because of his Source Energy and his lack of ability to control Chaotic Energy, that pure contradiction dwelling in his body turned his expression to that of horror and despair.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm He had already forgotten that he was chasing me. All he wanted to do was to get away and live through another day.
Perhaps it was both of our luck that the creature actually didn't notice us. From the way it was about to plunge back down where it came from, it felt like a hibernating creature that was simply roused to sleep. Or rather, a fish that found the surface and jumped out of the water.
Its body ascended high before vertically flipping to return from whence it emerged.
That's well and good but that didn't change the fact that I'm facing the same situation as my pursuer.
I dodged one or two drops easily and slashed a few. However, that's all I could accomplish.
Not even a second later, one drop landed heavily on my shoulder.
Hissszzz!
The same sizzling sound immediately ensued as the Chaotic Energy made contact with my body.
Despite my ability to retract my Source Energy inside me, I was... no doubt, another Source Energy being. My Transcendent Body was also made and baptized by Source Energy.
And that's why absorbing Chaotic Energy was originally so painful.
But if there's one thing that's different between me and that six-eyed Transcendent, it is my Adaptability!
[You've been hit by a pure clump of Chaotic Energy]
[Adaptability has started aiding your body in absorbing it]
[Chaotic Energy +1]
[Chaotic Energy +2]
[Chaotic Energy +3]
[Chaotic Energy +4]
[Chaotic Energy +5]
[Adaptability has increased in progress]
[Level 3 Adaptability (2%)]
[Your Transcendent Body is being tempered]
[Strength and Endurance +3]
[Your Transcendent Mind is being tempered]
[Intelligence +0.5]
My eyes went wide open as those system messages flooded my eyes.
This isn't becoming like a disaster but a boon!
Somehow, these droplets were originally a part of the inherent Chaotic Energy of the Chaotic Space. They ceased to become part of its stable nature.
The same as the Chaotic Energy existing within a Chaosworld, it became possible for me to absorb it!
And my Adaptability was hungrily slurping it down as if it was a heaven-sent blessing. Moreover, my body has also started benefiting from it!
Right. I shouldn't dodge these droplets and instead absorb all of them to nourish myself!
