Chapter 29 - Chapter 27 - Singularity

"I'm alone...."

I mumbled, confused, as to what was going through my mind that it made me hesitate to enter the soul gate.

Nevertheless, I still had to enter or I'll get left behind by the others and end up separated from them.

Or maybe I already am. This is the first time I'm entering a soul world, I have no idea or information if we'll all end up in the same place.

But guessing from the way they entered forming a horizontal line.... Maybe you should enter together in order to not get separated.

I petted Nika and she responded by rubbing her face on my neck. What a cute snake, she's really acting like a pet now.

Then, after a while, this time without a moment of hesitation, I entered the gate and my vision became distorted and blurry but it soon returned to normal as I was given an amazing sight to see.

I was in front of a grand and stunning view of a blue nebula. Looking closer I saw a black hole inside it and as soon as I saw that my vision turned black and I was placed in the void of the universe.

In here, I felt as if time was going slower and faster. I can't even think properly as my own mind was filled with emptiness.

I felt like I was going to disappear and the sense of emptiness filled my whole body as I gradually lost feeling of everything.

Then, before anything could happen to me, I was brought into a white space. A dignified and lofty voice then sounded throughout the entire space.

"How foolish of you....."

Where did that come from? I looked around but there was no one there. Only an endless white space entered my sight.

"Do not bother looking for me, I created this white space in order to accommodate you without interference from the outside world. Only my voice will reach your ears."

So that means you're the one who gave me this chance to enter that world. Are you perhaps a god?

"Indeed, I am the one who brought you to another world but as for the latter question, I am not a god."

Then, may I ask why you brought me here again? If I remember I think I was in a place of oblivion and emptiness.

"To save you, that is the reason why I brought you here and as for why I call you foolish is because what you did almost killed you if I didn't act to help you.

Entering the hyperspace gate while exceeding the maximum limit allowed is simply suicide.

And yes, your pet snake, Nika, is considered as one."

I looked at the sleeping snake on my neck, soundlessly asleep as if nothing could ever bother her.

Then, I asked what I was curious about. So what exactly is a hyperspace gate?

"Good question, a hyperspace gate is something created by 'us' or in that world they call it a soul gate.

Once you enter it and the maximum limit of a hundred is filled, it will close automatically and no one will be allowed to exit.

That is unless you die or defeat the being called a 'World Devourer' inside that world, so until then stepping outside is an impossible feat."

Is that so, so that's why I almost died, because I had Nika with me when I entered.

And the reason why I felt a sense of danger was because of that.

That means if Anaia was the one to enter with Nika, what would've happened to her?

"She would've died and as for using rewind to save her, it will be useless as time and space doesn't exist there.

As you can see the hyperspace gate is something similar to a four dimensional gateway. As space belongs to the fifth dimension as well as the fourth.

That is also the reason why you can travel from one world to another.

However, the same goes for time and if she entered the gateway while exceeding the limit, the gate would've closed at the same time she entered and be brought into the place where you previously were or she would've fallen into another timeline and can never return.

That place is called the 'Void of Singularity' where time and space doesn't exist.

Once you are there, your existence will be compressed infinitely until you are erased in the fabric of time and space, forever into oblivion.

At that time, her existence would've been erased completely. However she was lucky because you were there and hesitated.

But because of that the snake leaped towards you and that is why you are here right now."

She would've died huh, then I'm glad that she wasn't the one to fall into the that place and because of you I was saved. 

Really, even though I don't know who you are, I'm really thankful for what you did, for saving me.

Unconsciously I formed a joyous smile on my face. Though because of this white space I don't know if that being could see it.

"I can....."

Those words sounded but only a vague echo reached me, making me unable to comprehend what was said.

And just like that another question lit up inside my mind.

What exactly are world devourers?

".... You really have a curious mind, asking me as if I was a free source of information you could exploit.

Well, no matter I will tell you in detail, so listen carefully."
