Chapter 1751 - 1182: I Am the Dimensional Cube (Part 2)
Chapter 1751 - 1182: I Am the Dimensional Cube (Part 2)
This is still a conservative estimate.
If the Dimensional Cube had existed for eons before it fell from the sky, accumulating endless Dimension Energy within?
If the era of the first generation Reinnaier, during his lifetime, was separated from the end of the Ancient Magic Civilization Period by not just tens of thousands of years, but hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of years?
The accumulated Dimension Energy would undoubtedly be unimaginably vast!
Yet, when Reiger acquired the Dimensional Cube, it was completely devoid of Dimension Energy.
Assuming... if, at that time, the Dimensional Cube fell outside the world and not even a day had passed until Reiger obtained it, where did all the accumulated Dimension Energy go before it fell outside the world?
The answer to this question is now revealed.
"While alive, Yuloli battled the ’King of Calamity’ in the temple for the Dimensional Cube, and many unforeseen events likely occurred."
"These incidents not only caused the Dimensional Cube to fall into the world rift sliced open by Moslo’s sword, but also led to the separation of the Dimension Energy accumulated over the years from the cube."
"Ultimately, this energy was preserved by Yuloli while she was alive, entrusted to the temple priests, who brought it here and sealed it."
During this process, the priests may have used this vast Dimension Energy to accomplish certain tasks.
For example, they crafted a key and a parchment map that allowed Reiger to have a sensory connection.
These two items likely contained traces of Dimension Energy, which is why Reiger, possessing the Dimensional Cube, could sense them.
"Thinking of it this way, the Holy Sword, which also resonates with me, might have as its core material that strange metal taken by the first generation Reinnaier to the Source World, possibly a crystal formed by Dimension Energy."
Only this can explain why the Holy Sword has the power to sever worlds and seal abysses.
Because Dimension Energy itself is meant to activate the Dimensional Cube, and this energy is intrinsically linked to dimensions, extracted from countless dimensions by the Dimensional Cube, even if it can’t be used for Dimensional Travel like the cube, it can easily interfere with the stability of a world, sever space and planes.
"Also, this Hidden Land."
"The prototype here was used as a sanctuary as an extradimensional space."
"So, where did this extradimensional space originate from?"
Previously, Reiger thought it was very likely a naturally derived extradimensional space of the Akasha Continent.
But now, he strongly suspects that this extradimensional space was also created by the priests using Dimension Energy to form a sufficiently safe sanctuary.
"The temple worships the Dimensional Cube, and the priests are the temple’s highest administrators, servants of the ’God,’ who should be the ones who most often come into contact with the Dimensional Cube, besides Reinnaier."
"Even if they can’t perform Dimensional Travel by leveraging the power of the Dimensional Cube like Reinnaier, using some Dimension Energy should still be feasible."
"Furthermore, if the priests also possess the bloodline of Reinnaier, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to use Dimension Energy to accomplish certain tasks."
The temple was the most special organization during the Ancient Magic Civilization Period, with the High Priest reputed to be second only to the queen in status, revered by all, even ordinary Reinnaier had to be respectful before them.
As the tribe most loved by the ’God,’ Reiger does not believe that there wouldn’t be some collateral or direct descendants entering the temple as priests to serve the ’God.’
Even in the Source World, the bloodline of Reinnaier thrives; how is it possible for the temple, which directly contacts the ’God,’ to not have members of Reinnaier?
In other words, priests and even the High Priest with the Reinnaier bloodline, knowing Dimension Energy in great depth, and their ability to use it to achieve certain tasks, is entirely conceivable.
Now, this vast energy, which was accidentally lost, has finally returned to the side of the Dimensional Cube.
"Rumble..."
The Dimensional Cube madly absorbed the seemingly endless Dimension Energy, enlarging the vortex of Dimension Energy around itself, with the commotion from the energy absorption growing ever louder.
"It seems I’ll never run out of Dimension Energy in the future."
A smile involuntarily appeared on Reiger’s face.
And the Dimensional Cube continued absorbing for several whole hours.
Until darkness fell outside, the commotion from the Dimensional Cube absorbing Dimension Energy gradually quieted, and the energy vortex around it shrank until no Dimension Energy was left in the statue on the high platform, and the Dimension Energy transmuted into light beams and the vortex were absorbed into the Dimensional Cube, disappearing without a trace.
"Whoosh!"
After absorbing all the Dimension Energy—or rather, recovering its past lost power—the Dimensional Cube stopped rotating, becoming extremely transparent and crystal-clear, carrying an inexplicable mysterious luster, and instantly flew back with utmost satisfaction.
Reiger hadn’t had time to react when the Dimensional Cube melded into his body, returning to his mind.
Then... streams of information also flowed back into Reiger’s mind.
Only then did Reiger realize how much the Dimensional Cube had changed after regaining its lost power.
The first change is the display of the Dimension Energy bar.
"Dimension Energy:——"
The bar no longer shows specific units of Dimension Energy.
Because there’s no need.
The current Dimensional Cube holds an almost infinite amount of Dimension Energy, no matter how much Reiger uses, it won’t deplete, and there is no need to show specific numbers.
With this infinite Dimension Energy, Reiger can freely open dimensional channels, visiting whichever world he desires, whether specified or random, without any problem.
Similarly, Reiger no longer needs to worry about the Dimension Energy consumption required to take items from different worlds.
Even if he wanted to remove an entire world, the Dimensional Cube would no longer provide a list, as long as he carries it with him; when leaving that world, the Dimensional Cube will actively assimilate it, allowing Reiger to take it any time.
Additionally, Reiger can now bring any number of specific individuals from their worlds to any worlds he wishes.
The former Reinnaier often used this feature, with successive generations of Reinnaier escorting people to other worlds; for instance, the family of Tistis acquired the Ice Holy Sword in this way.
Even Liz’s mother used this ability to send Liz and Mia back to this world, even when the Dimensional Cube had already fallen out of the world, this function still worked.
Now, even if Reiger leaves the Dimensional Cube in this world, he can still connect with it via consciousness from his mind, issuing various commands to it.
The previous Reinnaier did just that; they never took the Dimensional Cube out of this world; when going to other worlds, they connected with it through consciousness, issuing commands, including Dimensional Travel.
Of course, Reiger himself has no need for this feature.
After all, unlike Reinnaier, his consciousness can connect with the Dimensional Cube, and his soul has also merged with it.
Perhaps this is why, during the crossover, before his soul entered the current body, he encountered the Dimensional Cube and brought it back to this world?
He and the Dimensional Cube are now fully integrated, inseparable.
Thus, the Dimensional Cube resides in his mind, rather than being outside as before, worshiped by others.
"From now on, the Dimensional Cube is me."
"I am the Dimensional Cube."
