Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1504 - 1053: The Saintess’s Request
The disaster that led to the downfall of "that empire" is also related to the ancient magic civilization of the Akasha continent!
This conjecture, without a doubt, is incredibly bold.
If it were in another world, Reiger would certainly regard it as pure coincidence and would never link the two together.
After all, as far as he knows, the only thing capable of transcending dimensions is the Dimensional Cube.
Without the power of the Dimensional Cube, it’s impossible for two different dimensions to establish any connection whatsoever.
But the problem is...
Firstly, in these two disasters, the Reinnaier clan played a crucial role, even being at the center of both events. And coincidentally, the Reinnaier clan is capable of using the power of the Dimensional Cube for Dimensional Travel, which provided a channel linking two different dimensions.
Secondly, unlike other dimensions, both the Source World and the Akasha continent are original worlds, not like alternate worlds such as "old empire", "Overlord", "Fairy Country".
The connection between two original worlds is inherently deeper than that of alternate worlds. This is evident from the fact that Dimensional Travel between them has no time restriction, lacks the effect of consciousness descent, and allows easy transportation of people between the two worlds.
Reiger even heard prayers from the Source World while returning to the Akasha continent, before he even left the dimensional passage, suggesting a summoning from the Source, which further demonstrates the connection between the two worlds is closer than any others.
With all these considerations, Reiger boldly speculates that there’s an unknown link between the catastrophic disasters occurring in the two original worlds.
Therefore, Reiger came here intending to cross Nanierga and enter the territory of "that empire" which has been eroded by the abyss.
If he could reach the battlefield where the final savior fought the Abyss Demon Lord, one of the ten kings of the abyss, perhaps he could find some clues.
If fortunate, he might even resolve the mysterious connection between the Holy Sword Core, beast skin map, Melo’s divine power, and himself.
Furthermore, Reiger wanted to personally witness the so-called abyss, which is why he insisted on coming here despite Melo and Naisa’s persuasion.
Of course, because Reiger only mentioned going to Nanierga and didn’t reveal his intention to cross Nanierga and enter "that empire’s" territory.
If Reiger had stated this purpose from the start, Melo and Naisa would have strongly opposed his trip.
The old territory of "that empire" has now become a spear thrust into the Source World by the abyss, completely turned into abyss creature territory, and connected with the Abyss Gate that descended upon "that empire’s" capital.
Entering there equates to stepping into the abyss’ barracks and base in the Source World, encountering countless dangers, easily imaginable.
Reiger is not an ordinary person; he is the Master of the Holy Sword, the new savior.
For someone like him to enter the abyss territory is akin to delivering himself to their door.
If this matter were exposed, the abyss might immediately deploy multiple Demon Lords to eliminate this threat that returned to the Source after eleven thousand years.
In light of this, Reiger never disclosed his true purpose of crossing Nanierga and entering "that empire’s" territory.
Others wouldn’t imagine that Reiger came here for such a dangerous undertaking.
However, Beluti revealed Reiger’s intention with a single sentence.
Could it be...
"Do you foresee my future entering there?"
Reiger’s eyes flickered slightly.
This isn’t good news.
After all, the future seen by this saintess is always related to disasters.
As expected...
"I see you holding a Holy Sword, standing before a grotesque wound-like crack."
With a distant tone, Beluti uttered these words as her eyes lowered slightly.
"The crack is massive, almost encompassing the entire sky."
"From inside the crack, darkness formed by the Abyssal Aura is billowing outward."
"Within the darkness, an endless terrifying legion roars as it rushes out, swiftly engulfing your figure."
Beluti paused briefly before continuing to speak.
"This is the future I saw approximately a week ago."
"At that time, it should have been just when you descended beside Lord Marfa."
That is to say, while Reiger descended into the Source, Beluti in another country saw this future.
She knew early on that Reiger, the savior, would come to Nanierga, and she knew Reiger would cross this defensive line to go to "that empire’s" territory.
And if her vision of the future was accurate, the abyss would once more invade the Source in force because of Reiger’s arrival.
This is undoubtedly a disaster.
"So, you asked me here to stop me?"
Reiger felt he finally understood Beluti’s thoughts.
To his surprise, Beluti’s next words once more contradicted Reiger’s assumption.
"I have no intention of interfering with your thoughts." Beluti shook her head and gazed at Reiger, astonishingly stating, "But I hope you can bring me along."
"What?" Reiger was immediately taken aback and said in surprise: "Take you with me?"
This was a request he had not expected at all.
"Yes." Beluti nodded solemnly and said, "I have a way to solve this disaster."
"No, I should say, I have a way to close that ’gate’."
This time, Reiger finally understood Beluti’s true intention.
The reason she didn’t plan to stop Reiger was because she wanted to close the Abyss Gate.
The Abyss Gate has been connected to the Source for more than eleven thousand years. From the last savior of ’that empire’ retreating to the Akasha continent until now, it has never been closed.
Because this gate has never been closed, even though ’that empire’ has already perished, its territories have always been occupied by abyssal creatures and have never been reclaimed.
If not for the greatest abyssal defense line in history, Naisa, the abyssal creatures streaming continuously from the Abyss Gate to the Source would have undoubtedly bared their fangs at the entire Source, continuously invading its territories until the Source was completely devoured.
Conversely, once the Abyss Gate is closed, the abyssal creatures occupying the territories of ’that empire’ will lose their reinforcements and retreat, and the creatures of the Source will be able to close the door and catch them like trapped dogs, slowly exterminating these abyssal creatures until they reclaim the lost territories of ’that empire’.
And Beluti possesses the means to close that gate.
Thus, after foreseeing Reiger’s future journey to the territories of ’that empire’, she chose not to stop him but to join him on his journey to Naisa’s rear and solve the threat of the Abyss Gate, which has plagued the Source World for tens of thousands of years, once and for all.
Not to prevent an impending disaster, but to eliminate its root cause, actively engaging in it, and seeking a once-and-for-all solution amidst disaster.
This is the true intention of the saintess Beluti.
"You..."
Understanding this, Reiger’s gaze towards Beluti finally changed.
This angelic girl, who seemed so fragile and delicate, turned out to have such courage.
Though she is a weak girl with no ability to fight on the front lines, she resolutely decided to take such a huge risk after foreseeing that future. This is something ordinary girls can’t do.
The most admirable thing is, anyone can tell without thinking that Beluti is doing this not for herself, but for the entire Source.
This woman...she always says others are good people, but she herself is the true do-gooder.
"No wonder people call you a saintess." Reiger couldn’t help but sigh, "You truly deserve it."
Upon hearing this, Beluti only shook her head with a smile, full of hope as she looked at Reiger.
"Would you be willing to accept this impudent request of mine?"
If she were to accompany Reiger this time, Beluti would inevitably become someone Reiger needs to protect, inevitably holding Reiger back in some aspects.
Knowing this all too well, Beluti claimed her request was very impudent.
"I..."
Reiger was just about to say something when his gaze suddenly sharpened.
"Your Excellency?"
Beluti, keenly aware of the change in Reiger’s aura, was slightly stunned.
Reiger had already shifted his gaze away from Beluti.
"Step back."
He said lightly and turned around.
Beluti, seeing this, held her breath, without any hesitation or questions, silently retreated behind Reiger.
Reiger’s gaze fell forward, into the woods.
There, a darkness blacker than night was churning.
......
Outside the garrison area of the Karedohart Empire, on a treacherous hillside.
In a secluded corner here, for some reason, several ghostly figures appeared.
The figures were all dressed in black robes, concealing their faces, and the one at the forefront had a magic book floating beside them.
This person did not look at the magic book beside them but held a crystal ball, silently gazing at it.
"Zing..."
At a certain moment, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a pitch-black light, as if it were stained black.
Seeing this scene, the person with the magic book floating beside them laughed.
"The fish has bitten, and it has entered the net."
Uttering these words with a hint of a sly smile, this person lifted their head, gazing at the Black Land behind Naisa, and chuckled continuously. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Then let’s begin."
"Round two."
