Chapter 170: Arc Final, Chapter 165,5: Mistake
The first thing Blake encountered when he entered the portal was an unlimited amount of color and space. His vision contained colors that he hadn't even known existed before. A strange color that he thinks is a mixture of purple and blue, dozens of colors that are perceived as green in his eyes but do not look green at all, and dozens of light and dark tones of cosmid latte, as well as the dominant blue-black space color.
And he has never seen it before, he has seen a wide variety of space objects that have not even been mentioned in human history. The meteor field, covered with a grayish ash-like substance, is formed by the merger of the gravitational orbits of two black holes close to each other, creating a "∞" shaped gravitational field that bends even the space in its view, bending everything that enters into a "∞" shape and creating a strange image. case etc.
Various celestial bodies, planets, stars, dwarf planets, and more. Each one was quite clearly visible during Blake's run.
Don't get this wrong. Blake wasn't running in space right now. It was running down a narrow corridor of space, mostly located beneath the Golden World, connecting the worlds. He did the same when he went to the world of Demon Slayer.
If these corridors did not exist, Blake should not have dreamed of running in space. It wasn't that fast right now.
The other thing he noticed as he was running was that there were many other worlds, far, far away, the same as Earth. They were millions of light years apart, perhaps more. They were too far away for him to see. However, it was somehow possible to see them in the corridor he was running.
Blake looked behind him as he ran. The world was getting further and further away from him. In other words, he was getting further and further away from the world. The world that seemed huge was getting smaller and smaller every second.
He continued to run at high speed as Blake watched silently. The silhouettes of her legs and arms had long since disappeared. As he ran in a straight line, the lightning bolts from his body spread behind him, forming a dominant white line even in dark blue-black space.
"What will I do now?" While Blake was running at 9238 km/h, he was turning his head and examining the surroundings. He had activated his Empowered Brain the moment he entered the portal. His brain was running faster than the most powerful computer that could ever be found or built in this universe, silently recording a wealth of information in infinite space.
"Keep running, Hanbun-deshi. Where you're running in space right now is under the Golden Earth, the spatial corridors connecting the Worlds. As long as you keep running, you will reach a world, even without purpose." Scathach stood on the other side of the sky-stretching walls that protected the cities surrounding his Castle in the World of Shadows from the dangers of the outside world.
As she spoke, she continued to stare at the space in front of her, as she had been doing for an indefinite period. Her scarlet water-like spear rotated between the index and middle fingers of the hand she placed on her back, forming a red circle.
"If you want to go to a certain world, you can think of what you have lived in that world before, or you can aim to go there. If you don't want it, I can send you worlds in line with your power." Scathach smiled wryly in the middle of her speech. Her smile caused rose gardens to bloom on her usually emotionless face. A gentle breeze made her hair sway. Scathach's enchanting natural scent overpowered the spreading scent of nature for a moment.
When the angle was changed a little, it was possible to see a woman looking at her, on the other side of the seemingly endless plains, who could be called a replica of Scathach. Scathach had strangely indifferent happiness, in contrast to the petty selfless feelings he brought out when speaking to Blake, and her otherwise callousness.
"Aiming to get there…? Okay." The two women continued to stare at each other. Scathach was turning the spear in her hand, while the woman opposite her, who looked like her twin, held a wand on the tip of one finger. The wand was swinging left and right, constantly losing its balance, but somehow it didn't fall off.
Blake's voice, reaching Scathach's ear, did not fit the mood at all. Still, as she continued to stare at the woman in front of her, Scathach continued to listen. She paid no attention to the woman in front of her.
It was as if the other person was not a threat to her at all. However, with the pieces of ice that started above the shoulders of the woman in front of her and multiplied as they rose into the sky, this didn't make much sense. Each of the thousands, tens of thousands of pieces of ice stretching into the sky seemed sharper than even the sharpest material. They were even clearer than glass, so the viewer from one side could see the other side in all its detail.
Their size was even thicker than thousands of years old trees. Even when they stood there, the cold they emitted was enough to freeze space. The clear azure sky was distorted by freezing space. Absolute zero was nothing compared to this cold.
''But do not forget. Focus on getting there-"
VHOSH!!
Scathach was continuing to speak when one of the colossal ice shards appeared in front of her nose. Time slowed down, the ice floe was about to touch her nose. The ice floe was bigger than the massive walls, Scathach looking like an ant before it.
Even when the ice floe came in front of her, it didn't cast any shadows. The transparency of the ice floe reflected light without casting any shadows. It was so transparent that it was almost invisible.
And this huge piece was about to crash into Scathach. But she didn't seem to even realize it.
swish!
A thin voice came out. This sound was followed by a red-striped silhouette. The red silhouette cut through the ice floe for a moment and disappeared.
Criling!
In just a moment, the thousands of meters of ice floe broke into pieces. Thousands of crystal shards flashed to show the world their grace before disappearing the next moment. A small wind emerged out of nowhere, taking away the crystal-shaped ice from the air that shattered and turned into water.
Scathach, dressed in clothes that cling to her body and make her private parts look more spoiled than they are, tossed aside what she was about to say and looked at the person in front of her.
The other person was the same as her. She had similar purple, silky hair, similar wine-red eyes, and similar body proportions. However, her breasts were slightly larger, unlike her, which was created for fighting. Apart from that, she was wearing a silk dress, unlike Scathach's outfit that cling her body and squeezed her body, especially her breasts. Her shoulders were covered with black feathers, and on her head was a crystal crown.
Her previous indifferent happiness had been replaced by a great humiliation. Her eyes and forehead were covered with a black stripe, her red wine-colored eyes burning with scorching anger and terrible emotions. She parted her thin, mouth-watering lips and spoke.
"Sister… I came all this way to see you. I even prepared specially to greet you. But…" She specifically suppressed the word ''greet'. Contrary to her words, her preparation wasn't all that good considering the thousands of ice floes on her, which were growing in number.
"You're ignoring me."
"Blake, I won't be around for a while. Probably sometime after you arrive in the world. Remember, if there is a world you want to go to, you must focus on getting there."
With these words, Scathach's beautiful voice disappeared from Blake's ears. Space has regained its former silence. The eerie silence gripped Blake, realizing how empty and soundless the space was when Scathach's voice stopped.
He looked left and right. Every place his eyes saw was covered with endless space and stars. The vast emptiness gave a sense of suffocating vastness. The endless star ocean, with various suns and celestial bodies adorning space, formed a fascinating picture.
As Blake continued to run, his enhanced brain activity was running at peak strength. The neurons of the brain were working non-stop, the various lobes of the brain were sending commands to each other, and the most powerful and fastest computer in the universe was working non-stop for a moment and memorizing the newly acquired information.
While this was happening, Blake did not neglect to do as Scathach said. In one corner of his mind, he focused on going into the world he had gone to that day. Besides improved brain activity and what he could do with it, it was easy for him to push a goal into the corner of his brain.
Lightning continued to flow out of his body, running through the space corridor at high speed. From afar, all that could be seen as a white stripe moving at high speed in the middle of endless space.
This lane continued to run for an indefinite period. For an hour, two hours, maybe a few days, he was moving endlessly in the vacuum of space where the flow of time was uncertain, running towards an uncertain purpose. Since there was almost no sound propagation in space, it didn't make any noise as he ran.
After running for a while, he passed a world hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from him. This world was very similar to his original world and the MHA world. It was the same. However, this "Earth" was not the world Blake wanted to reach.
He kept moving forward. On one side of his mind, he was running intending to go to the Demon Slayer world. During his run, he saw several more "Earths". They were so far away from him that normally it should have been impossible for him to see, but he was able to see them after he had strengthened his eyes with lightning bolts.
A few of them looked like "Earth". While a few were structurally similar to "Earth", they were completely different from Earth in the way their landmass was structured. A few had their soil instead of green or brown, while some of the soil was black, the color of dead, while others were normal. Looking carefully, Blake could see the ground, or something in the ground, constantly moving.
Blake seemed to be able to enter any of these worlds if he wanted to. As he passed between them, he felt that the corridor he was running was connected to them. As long as he turned sharply, he seemed to be able to enter worlds.
However, this was not the real situation. Blake knew that those worlds were completely closed to him and beings like him. A formless wall covered the entire world and closed the world to all other beings without the permission of a particular person.
Because Blake knew this, he did not try to enter any world. He had no such intention. He already had a world at his destination, and he did not intend to enter any world outside that world that he did not know.
Nobody can blame him. Blake was not one to be arrogant just because he had gotten a little stronger. Yes, he might look arrogant from the outside, but that arrogance was against people. He would never be arrogant toward the unknown. He could never be arrogant towards any unknown, especially after what he's been through right now.
He could be invincible to the world of MHA, and he felt that with his powers he could fall into the category of powerful, perhaps invincible, in most worlds. But he couldn't be arrogant just because of that.
The universe was infinite as he saw it now. It contained worlds and celestial bodies of all kinds and may have been home to a host of mysteries and powerhouses that he did not yet know about. To the unknown, his strength could be seen as nothing. Watching him at the unknown point of the universe, billions of light years away, they could kill him with a flick of the hand.
For example, Scathach. He wasn't even aware of her existence until he contacted her. Even when she contacted him, it was in Scathach's will. Blake was drawn there.
This showed how strong she was and how little effort she could make to kill him if she wanted to. And it wasn't even her full strength. The more Blake had contact with her, the more he became aware of her immense power.
He didn't know her full strength, but he did know one thing, even at his current speed, he couldn't touch the corner of Scathach's clothing or hurt her. He couldn't even move unless she wanted to.
He wasn't even talking about Gae Bolg. Gae Bolg was somewhat subdued by Blake, who was Scathach's disciple and received its approval, unlike Leo, who was trying to seize and subdue it by force. However, that didn't mean it accepted him completely. Blake could only use 5% of its strength, which was far from its full potential.
And there was the "Sword Sister", who he still didn't know how strong she was. That woman, the universe representative of the Demon Slayer world, left a strong impression on Blake with her actions that day. He clearly remembered that sword attack that even he had trouble seeing.
And this attack that Lilith did on his first day in the Golden World. Each of them clearly showed that the representatives of the universe in the Golden World were people not to be underestimated.
Scathach and her likes, Gea Bolg, reincarnators like him, Universe Representative, and more. To be arrogant meant to die among them. He couldn't be arrogant, or he wouldn't even know when he died.
He should always be on the alert and keep getting stronger.
"... now that I think about it, I wouldn't have thought of such things until just a few years ago." Blake kept running through space. He put aside all his thoughts for a moment and began to think about something else.
Just a few years… was enough to change his entire life. He had experienced events that humanity could not hope to know about, and gained powers. Which, until a few years ago, was nothing more than a student who could be seen everywhere. His whole purpose was to struggle with life and earn a good job by working hard for the sake of his poor family.
And now unrelated to that, he was running through space and traveling from one world to another.
Life is truly full of surprises.
Blake was completely lost in thought. He was moving from one thought to the next. There was nothing else he could do in space. Watching the space was beautiful and impressive at first, but after a while, it started to get extremely boring. So Blake closed his brain to the outside world while continuing to run in a straight line.
His only thought in connection with the outside world was his intention to go to the Demon Slayer world. Although only 1% had this thought, it was beyond the 100% capacity of most people's brains.
Blake thought that would be enough. Because of his inexperience and this was the first time he'd experienced this kind of situation, he didn't know that all his focus had to be where he was going, no matter how smart he was.
So he, running in a straight line, did not notice that his angle had changed by a very small amount. He was no longer going in a straight line. His angle had shifted to the right by a small angle, thus deviating from the path on which he was advancing.
Blake kept running without realizing it. He had passed dozens of worlds and was continuing to pass as many. The further he went, the more he encountered the world. The worlds of shallow quantity multiplied in an instant.
His progress in a straight line gradually deteriorated as Blake moved through them. Moment and moment he was drifting sideways, in just a few tens of minutes his straight forward was completely disrupted, and he had unwittingly entered another corridor.
"Hm?" It took a few tens of minutes for Blake to realize this. By the time he realized it, he was already standing outside the atmosphere of a world. There was a huge world at his feet. He could see the clouds in the troposphere from the area he was in. It looked very small from the point on which it stood on the earth.
Blake realized he had made a mistake. Fortunately, it was not too late to reach the point of no return. He drew back one foot to take a step back. As long as he took a step back, he could get out of there.
"Hm?" However, when he take his foot back, he couldn't touch anything. He stepped into the void as if the platform he had just stood on had disappeared in an instant. He lost his balance, his body fell backward. He was fall back into space and began to spin uncontrollably in zero gravity.
He turned and turned. His arms and legs were in their original position. His clothes were in their original position as there was no wind or anything like that. For a moment he felt suffocated. The oxygen-like gas he had just inhaled, which kept him alive, had completely disappeared. He was spinning in space, without air.
During their turn, his hand entered the earth's atmosphere. He felt a strong pull. His hand was drawn into the atmosphere. His body followed, and before he could do anything, he was sucked into the atmosphere. Due to its increased gravity, it began to be pulled from the atmosphere towards the earth's floor.
His body looked like a dot in the earth's atmosphere. It was being pulled into the world as it continued to spin 360 degrees uncontrollably. His fall speed was increasing involuntarily during the uncontrolled fall. And there was nothing Blake could do about it.
Vshh!!
As he fell, small sparks began to rise from his back. These were not coming out because of his lightning. These sparks were sparks that appeared due to their increased speed as they fell to earth. His suit began to burn, his muscular back exposed to the friction of the atmosphere and burning.
VSHHHHHH!!
Blake's eyes widened slightly. The burning sensation he felt in his back suddenly increased. Its speed was gradually increasing, so the friction was increasing. A few seconds had already passed. His body was covered with sparks from friction.
He crossed the exosphere and entered the Thermosphere. Gravitational force increased with layer transition. Blake's alarm bells were ringing loudly. He had to do something, but he couldn't. There was nothing for him to hold on to or to bind his lightning bolts to.
The world in the areas left behind by the boundless amount of dazzling sparks in his vision was constantly changing. It was difficult for him to focus anywhere as he was spinning uncontrollably. Even if it slowed time, he had no hold on the world he saw.
VHOSHH!!
Before he had a chance to do anything, Blake's body was engulfed in flames. Thousands of sparks were starting from his back, coming out of his body, and spreading into the air. Flames and sparks grew as the layers passed, Blake glowing.
From afar, it was as if another sun had appeared above the earth. Blake's brilliance in flames illuminated the earth. All that was left of Blake was a cluster of flames that had fallen to earth.
And the final sight of this cluster of flames was its entry into the dense clouds of the troposphere here. He went into the clouds. A hole the size of Blake, or rather the cluster of flames and sparks that Blake had left behind, appeared in the clouds. Blake disappeared into the thick clouds.
Earth and space once again fell silent.
