Chapter 726: The Nexus

Jack inserted the card and nothing happened, for a moment. Then, the roxite walls trembled slightly. A giant archway suddenly emerged from the wall, instinctively getting Jack to step back. Spatial energy flickered inside the arch until a steady stream of energy to form a giant spatial gate.

"Go ahead, Jack. You can go first," commented Daruun, nudging Jack along.

With a mix of excitement and anxiousness, Jack took his next step. The sensation of traversing a spatial rift and a spatial gate wasn't unknown to Jack, nor was it unusual. Yet Jack suddenly felt overwhelmed and burdened the moment he stepped through this particular gate.

Coming through to the other side, Jack almost dropped to his knees. His body was already exhausted from his regrowth after self-destruction, so the tremendous pressure of this new space was practically unbearable. But a layer of energy soon enveloped Jack and the others emerging through the gate, thanks to Daruun.
