Chapter 716: The Endless Dark Expanse (First Update)
Chapter 716: The Endless Dark Expanse (First Update)
The world where Ankselam lived is called the Andru World, a fantastical realm filled with swords and magic.
Those who wield swords can practice Battle Aura and are known as Warriors. Powerful Emperor Warriors can even split a mountain with a single strike, displaying immense strength.
Magic users are called Mages, categorized into Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, Sorcerers, and Master Mages. The most powerful Master Mages can unleash Forbidden Magic with destructive power far exceeding that of Warriors.
Ankselam was the most powerful Mage on the Andru Continent at the time. He dedicated himself to the study of magic, hoping to one day uncover its true essence.
One day, he finally broke through a barrier that no Mage had ever breached, mastering the secrets of life and death. He could use magic to resurrect family and friends who had been dead for over a century.
Later, he began to understand the true essence of magic and created an independent Spatial Realm entirely under his control.
It was then that the Creator God Andru appeared before him.
The Creator God Andru did not reward him for his achievements but instead angrily accused him of being a shameless mortal who had stolen the power of the gods. Andru declared that he needed to be permanently erased to serve as a warning to the world.
Fortunately, although Ankselam was no match for Andru, he had developed the means to protect himself. Taking advantage of Andru's underestimation, he used a special magic to temporarily hold Andru off and broke free from the world's constraints, entering the Dark Expanse.
"What is the Dark Expanse?"
At that moment, Jerry interjected with a question.
Andru paused to explain:
"All worlds created by the Creator Gods exist within the Dark Expanse, which has no beginning or end. To be honest, I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. Even the name 'Dark Expanse' was coined by some of the Creator Gods.
If you don't use spatial magic to pinpoint coordinates and teleport directly into my world, but instead break through the barrier of your own world, you must traverse the endless Dark Expanse to find my world."
Hearing Andru's explanation, Jerry instantly understood.
It was like traveling between planets in the universe, where you would need to navigate through vast space in a spaceship. If you knew the exact spatial coordinates, you could teleport directly. However, without those coordinates, you would have to pass through the endless Dark Expanse.
Some worlds are singular, while others consist of multiple worlds, even entire universes. It all depends on the power of the Creator God.
If Jerry wished, he could break through the barrier of the Marvel Universe and enter the endless Dark Expanse to find a fixed location for his Mini World, much like Ankselam had done.
However, he felt it was better to stay in the main Marvel Universe for now. The main Marvel Universe is clearly one of the top-tier worlds, highly inclusive and capable of accommodating many beings like him who possess their own dimensional worlds.
"After escaping Andru's pursuit, I wandered through the endless darkness, encountering many worlds and Creator Gods similar to Andru.
Some were relatively friendly, but most were not. They wanted to kill me and absorb my magic power to strengthen themselves, especially those more powerful than me.
Later, I went through many experiences and became much stronger. I secretly returned to the Andru World, killed Andru, and merged his world with the one I created, forming the world you see now.”
Ankselam finished narrating, and Jerry fell into deep thought once again.
He knew that Ankselam had embellished his own story to some extent, but he didn't mind. What he cared about was that Ankselam was also unsure of who the true creator of the Panel was.
The first time he entered this world, Ankselam had sensed a powerful aura capable of easily destroying him, which is why he dared not make any rash moves.
Therefore, it was certain that the creator of the Panel must be an existence far surpassing the Multiverse. As for who was stronger between the creator of the Panel and the creator of the Marvel Universe, that was impossible to determine.
Of course, after learning about Ankselam's experiences, Jerry also gained a significant insight.
He realized that in the future, he wouldn't just rely on his own ability to enter Mini World; he could also stop depending on the Panel to capture new worlds for him.
As long as he was brave enough, he could venture into the Dark Expanse to search for potentially new worlds, without being limited to Magic Mini Worlds.
However, there was one prerequisite: he needed to enhance his strength further, because according to Ankselam, the Creator Gods in the Dark Expanse were not to be trifled with.
Despite the dangers, he knew he would have to step into the Dark Expanse in the future.
Because if he wanted to enter the Multiverse and create new universes one by one, it would be an incredibly time-consuming process, possibly taking billions of years to complete.
On the other hand, absorbing and merging existing worlds, which had already evolved over countless years, would be much faster.
Sometimes, he even wondered if the owner of the Panel had sent him here through reincarnation to act as a scout, with the intention of swallowing the Marvel Multiverse.
“Brother, it was a great conversation. I'll come back to seek your guidance in the future!”
Feeling that they had covered enough, Jerry stood up and bid farewell to Ankselam.
Ankselam did not try to retain him but said with a pointed meaning:
“I hope we won't be enemies in the future!”
“Don't worry, Brother. There are many of my friends in this world, and I hope to see them again in the future.”
Jerry understood Ankselam's concern and gave a sincere response, which was indeed from the heart.
He and Ankselam didn't have much of a bond, at most a mutual exchange of knowledge.
However, he had a good friendship with the people of Fairy Tail, so even if his strength surpassed Ankselam's in the future, he wouldn't wage war to forcibly incorporate this world into his future Multiverse.
This applied to the Harry Potter world and the Mage Apprentice world he had already experienced as well.
Sensing Jerry's genuine assurance, Ankselam finally felt at ease.
Ever since Jerry's first appearance, he had been worried about the day his world would be swallowed, as he had done such things before.
With that, after bidding farewell to Ankselam, Jerry returned to the Fairy Tail Guild.
