The Void, a mysterious concept among the stars.

According to Merlin's explanation from the omniscient and omniscient Spirit of the Visan Emperor, this mysterious concept resembles a world of dark matter that fills every part of the universe.

The world under reality.

It's like a mirrored world of real stars, like two sides of the same coin.

It does not exist in the real, observable sea of stars, like a pattern of overlapping between the quantum world and the present world, and the void also exists in every part of the stars.

After the foundation of the plane of reality is destroyed, and after the collapse of that solid state of matter, a rift to the void will be opened.

But it's hard to do that.

The Void is a mirrored world, but it is also a world, its margins are as stable as the real world, and it is difficult for the Heavenly Fathers to tear open the cracks of the Void.

When Odin banished the angel world to the void, he also used the power of the conceptual level of the World Tree.

Merlin hadn't fully understood the concept so far, but the Spirit of the Visan Emperor had told him that it would be nice to treat the Void as a specific dimension, and that he didn't need to pay much attention to it.

There was nothing useful for Raven Maharaja.

In fact, if it weren't for the Spear of Destiny from God, and the exiled angels had to be rescued, Merlin wouldn't have had much to do with the Void in this life.

The concept was too obscure for the casters to understand.

On the contrary, it is the scientific and technological side of civilization that is more likely to have access to this knowledge for the research of black holes and dark matter.

In the stars, those spaceships that can cross wormholes at superluminal speed and perform migrating flights, when they enter the state of superluminal curvature flight, they are actually escaping from the real world into the seam with the void.

Although wormhole flight and teleportation are very similar, the internal principles of action of the two are completely different.

This is probably the difference between technology and magic.

Different paths, but leading to the same end, are all tools used to explain the truth, but no one knows what the truth is that is ultimately explained.

From this point of view, perhaps the ultimate answer to all things is really 42.

In short, after Angela took that step in the quantum state, in the way of phase walking, with the help of the remaining phase markers on her body, she and the Raven Lord stepped on another land in the light and shadow of the strange and distorted into different shapes.

"Smack"

The feeling of his feet on the ground made Merlin breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the phase walk was successful.

He let go of his arm, and Angela, who was pale in complexion, collapsed at the feet of the Maharaja.

The poor girl broke away from the quantum state, and she lay on the ground like a dying fish, breathing heavily.

A joy burst out from her heart, she finally got out of the difficult state just now, and the sense of crisis that she felt that she would disappear at any time also dissipated at this moment.

But along with the joy came the nausea of turning the river and the sea in the stomach.

"Vomit"

She covered her mouth, got up with her hands and feet weak, rushed to the grass to the side, bent down, and vomited out everything she could in her stomach.

That embarrassed posture was very similar to that of rookie mages who tried the shapeshifting spell for the first time.

"I just said it, don't eat..."

Sensing the magic of the place, the Raven Lord hovered on the ground with his hands behind his back and tossed a handkerchief to a grieving Angela.

The latter took it in his hand, wiped his mouth, and straightened up his bad appearance again.

She turned her head and stared at Merlin viciously, who was so focused on gazing at the landscape in the distance that he didn't have time to pay attention to her.

Merlin saw a whole world.

There are complete continents, the composition of the air is very similar to that of the earth, and people can breathe here, and the high concentration of magic also makes the animals and plants of this world appear in a huge state.

Merlin and Angela arrived in a forest at a high altitude, and looking down from this height, he could easily see the city thousands of kilometers away.

A huge, gold-and-silver...

Steel City.

The city was built on a hill, with a fairly well-planned urban façade, and the overall distribution was in the shape of a circle, spreading outward in a circle, and there were trains running on elevated trains between them.

Illuminated by the halo of the sky, the whole city glows like a coin that has been wiped clean.

Merlin couldn't be mistaken, and that was the cold light emitted by steel.

The city is made of steel.

Merlin blinked in surprise, and at this moment, he suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

But as the Maharaja looked more closely, he did see some women flying with wings and wearing armor among the elegantly shaped metal buildings dotted with huge hanging rings.

Angels indeed.

Whether it is in terms of appearance or the shape of the wings, there is not much difference from Gabriel and those star angels.

"Huh?"

Raven's expression became a little strange, and he turned his head to look at Angela, who was trying to maintain her balance, and said:

"You never told me that these angels inherited the power of technology... Your city looks tech-savvy. ”

"That's the strength of the aborigines of this world."

Angela replied in a weak tone:

"Although it is called the Angel Nation, there are not only angels here, but there are other races, and Queen Haven did not exterminate those races, she rules the world in a very equal way."

"Of course, the sky belongs only to the angels, and the cities on the ground were built for us by the angel queen hired by the aborigines, at the cost of a long-term peace between the two races."

"The wingless natives, who live underground, have their cities underground, and in your words, are just as technological."

"Well, it looks like I did underestimate you."

Merlin looked up at the sky, and he said to Angela:

"I've heard from the angelic spirits I saved about this heavenly kingdom, and I thought they were beautifying the world."

"But now it seems that they don't, and it's really hard to describe the world in poor language. But I have one last question..."

The Raven Lord asked softly:

"What about the sky? What about the clouds? Where did the atmosphere go? ”

Yes, if there is any strangeness in this kingdom of God that banishes angels, it is the sky.

In the sky that Merlin is looking at, there are no clouds or atmosphere, and the sky of the whole world is like a pool of clear water, or a mirror, which allows people to see the stars without hindrance.

Patches of stars, from the reflection of the stars of the present world, are projected in the sky of the angelic realm.

It was as if the whole world was exposed to the stars in the sky, but there was some special force that prevented harmful cosmic rays from entering the world.

This scene must not have been innate, it must have been deliberately dispersed by the angels here to disperse the clouds and atmosphere...

Merlin wondered why they were doing this.

"Because it's perfect."

Angela was also a little silent at this moment.

She had thought that everything in the angelic kingdom was normal and that it was a world.

But it wasn't until she was inadvertently teleported into the stars of reality that she saw the legendary "clouds" for the first time, saw the sunlight refracted by the atmosphere, and saw the beautiful sunset.

Dawn, noon, lightning in the clouds, storms, all the changes in the climate, belong to the forces of nature.

She replied to Merlin:

"I have seen clouds on earth, and it brings rain, and it is part of that world, but here, in the vision of the angels, they think that the clouds are white blemishes, and they do not allow any imperfection in this world."

"When I was a child, I saw with my own eyes that the angels dispersed all the clouds of this world and cast the true faces of the stars on this world."

"I remember that they held large sacrifices, as if in anticipation of some higher will, to see the world through the stars, to see them... I still don't know what they were expecting. ”

"The gaze of God."

Merlin listened to Angela's words, and he explained:

"They are expecting a response from their homeland, just like you, Angela, the angels who rule this world are also longing to return home."

"They dispersed the clouds so that God's eyes could see more clearly as they fell into the void."

"In this way they have built their cities on earth in the likeness of heaven, and in this way they have expressed their sincere thoughts to God... They wanted their Lord to see all this, and they were praying for salvation. ”

"It's a pity that they can't wait."

"Can you still go?"

Merlin was silent for a moment, looked at Angela, and said:

"I don't want to stay longer in this deliberately crafted and delicate world, where there's nothing real to speak of, and it makes me feel uncomfortable, take me to meet your queen, Archangel Haven... Let's put this to an end. ”

Angela took a few steps forward, only to walk crookedly.

"I can walk... The Queen's palace is on the other side of the land, far away, my manor, my Serra is there, and I must go back first. ”

She hadn't recovered from the infection of the quantum state, and Merlin used that power to lift her weight, but in fact, the infection of quantum energy into life was terrifying.

At least Angela couldn't be exempt from that long-term weakness.

"Are all the people in the Odin family so stubborn?"

Merlin shook his head.

He hooked his fingers, and under the gravitational shift, Angela's body was lifted up, suspended in mid-air like Merlin.

The two of them flew towards the distant city one after the other.

————————

On the other side, at the top of the mechanical palace where Queen Evin of the Archangel lives, a roving hunter is half-kneeling in front of the queen, reporting the latest discoveries to his majesty.

"You're a messenger bird."

In a languid posture, she leaned against her throne as a winged angel, and she propped her chin with her left hand, looking at the hunter below, and said:

"The lowliest soldier in the spy class..."

"It's... Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The roving hunter bowed her head, not daring to look at her noble queen, she was nervous.

In this caste society, status and class are everything, and a low-class person like her, if she is not lucky, will never see her queen in her life.

"Don't be nervous, kid, tell the story you saw."

Haven was playing with a gem as red as blood, and she didn't look at the low-level hunter, and she said:

"My time is expensive, and important news is time-bound, so I'm going to be quick... In case it loses its value. ”

At the urging of the Queen, the low-level hunter immediately spoke:

"A few hours ago, Your Majesty, I witnessed in my own defense zone two people who had traveled through the stars into the world, and they had crossed the snowy forest, crossed the border of the Seventh City, and were flying towards your palace."

"But they seem to have come with some purpose, they stayed in the Seventh City for nearly two hours, and then they continued their journey, and I came to report to you all this, those two people, very dangerous."

"Well, you're doing well, good boy."

The Angel Queen suddenly narrowed her blue eyes when she heard someone traveling through the stars into the angelic realm from the outside world.

Her heart was beating a little violently at this moment.

This world has been closed for a long time, and there have been no guests for a long time.

But she didn't act immediately, and with her thin, sharp, claw-like nails, she lifted the blood ruby in her hand, as if to give it to the lowly hunter as a reward.

She said:

"For the news you brought, I think it's worth it. You see, the best blood gem, it can buy a lot of things..."

Archangel Haven sat up straight, she looked at the excited low-level hunter in front of her, and she whispered in a playful tone:

"It can buy you new armor, new weapons, and promotions."

"As long as you find a way, it can even buy you a high-level hunter's badge, which you will use to free yourself from your lowly status and enter the real hunter class."

Moments before the gem fell into the hands of the low-level hunters, the queen burst into a hoarse laugh.

"Yes, it could have be..."

As if it were a malicious joke, she curled up her fingers, and the jewel disappeared from her fingertips, and then, she said to the girl who was looking at her:

"If you don't give me this information for free, if you make an appointment with me in advance."

"Given your stupidity, kid, you're going to get another reward, it's a lesson you should have learned a long time ago!"

"The first law of the angelic kingdom, the only meaning of life itself, all things have value, everything must be exchanged equally, fair trade..."

The girl gritted her teeth, she knew she had been fooled by the Queen.

But the huge class contrast made her dare not say vulgar words, she could only bow her head and whisper:

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know."

"Hehe, whenever you encounter these things, the expressions on your stupid children's faces are always boring."

Archangel Haven, leaning against her throne in a feminine gesture, propped her chin back with her arms, and said:

"Go, go tell my general, send two Dreadnought fighters, 'escort' our guests to my palace..."

She waved her hand, signaling for the low-level hunter to leave.

But the girl fell on her knees and did not move.

This made a flash of satisfaction in the angel queen's eyes, and she deliberately asked:

"So, what are you waiting for?"

The round-faced angel girl raised her head and looked at the queen earnestly, and she said:

"Reward, Your Majesty."

"Hahahaha"

Archangel Haven let out a barrage of laughter, she waved her left hand, and in the light sound of metal clashing, several gold coins were dropped into the hands of the low-level hunter.

Her Majesty looked at the hunter who had put away the gold coins, and she nodded in satisfaction.

She said:

"Very well, my child, you have learned..."

"Fair dealing, that's how the world works, remember the wrong and right choice today. Your future is destined to be bright, and you will definitely make a difference in this world shaped by reality. ”
