The secret behind Medivh's ability to travel through the void had been solved. She had an amazing affinity with the void.
It was unbelievable and unexplainable. The void itself did not have any inclination. It did not repel anything, but at the same time, it did not have affinity with anything. Any entity that did not belong to the void would be treated indifferently when it came into contact with the void. Based on most people's common sense, the way to safely travel through the void was to resist. Whether it was by continuously correcting the information state around you (a common method used by Protoss) or by expending energy to release a shield (a technique used by the Shiring Apostles), it was essentially a form of resistance. And the little crow's method of wandering in the void was different from the Protoss and the Shiring Apostles.
"Look at her now. She looks like she's enjoying it."
Shadora couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she watched Medivh fly around happily in the void.
This was the experimental site located at the "border area", and also part of the research center. The research headquarters of the City of Shadows was not as simple as a building in the city. It had a very complicated spatial structure. At several key locations, there were even space-time hubs that led to different dimensions. These space-time hubs could even lead to a desolate universe, or the transition zone between the edge of the world and the void. In the research center, there were often deep corridors marked with special warning signs. If you walked along these corridors, you would not know where you would appear. You might appear on a blue sea and blue sky after crossing a door, or you might stand on the surface of a desolate alien planet, or you might even step directly into space. And where we were now was one of the special extension areas of the research center. The spatial coordinates here were virtual coordinates. It was not located in any fixed and known location. In fact, it was a buffer zone between the shadow space and the void.
It was not easy to set up a fixed experimental site in such a buffer zone. It was even more difficult than navigating in the void. This was because the so-called "boundary between the world and the void" was an unstable concept. In reality, anything that could be described would not be allowed to maintain this ambiguous "neutral" state. At this boundary, things that were stable enough would immediately fall into the orderly world and enter the material space. Things that were not stable enough would immediately dissipate into the void and be assimilated by the latter into basic information units. The "border area" experimental site was equivalent to forcefully opening up a neutral zone on this blade. In this position, you did not belong to the orderly world, nor did you have to worry about falling into the void. As long as you could endure an indescribable sense of reality being stripped away, you could still stably observe the different scenes on both sides of the world barrier. Most of the time, this place even followed the rules of the prime material world to facilitate all kinds of experimental activities. There were high-end technologies everywhere.
Tawil adjusted the environment of the experimental site to lean towards the void, allowing Medivh to move freely outside. Meanwhile, we stayed in a tightly guarded observation station, marveling at the scene of the giant crow soaring freely.
I had sat on Lin's back and flew through the void, so I knew that the giant golden dragon had the ability to soar in the void. But in essence, Lin and Medivh were completely different. The former needed to form a mathematically stable zone around her when she flew through the void and used this stable zone to protect herself. As for the latter … a large area around the giant bird was directly a safe zone. Now it seemed that she did not do anything during this process, but the void around her suddenly became orderly.
Tawil could not use any existing theories to explain this phenomenon. In the end, we had no choice but to find someone who might be an expert: the Rogue Goddess Icetis. Speaking of which, unknowingly, I had already regarded the 'Rogue Goddess' as Icetis' title …
Icetis was called to the observation station and observed with us for a long time. Then, she started to think. In the end, she looked at me and said, "Chen, tell me how you move around in the void."
"When I am in the void?" I was stunned for a moment. What was the saying again? Oftentimes, the things that you are most familiar with are the easiest to ignore. Since Bryndis suddenly asked me this question, I really didn't know how to answer it. After seriously thinking for a long time, I finally found a clue. "It seems to be no different from a normal activity. Oh yeah, until now, I still don't feel any difference between staying in the void and staying in outer space. I mean, my body doesn't feel any different. There is still a sense of disharmony in the void, but other than that, I feel like I am floating in outer space. "
Brendis and Shadora glanced at each other and sighed. "Then, do you know what it feels like to be in the Void Space?"
"Erm, I think I understand what you mean …" I came to a sudden realization.
"That's right. You are a creature of the void. The source of your life comes from the void." Icetis nodded. "You can even say that you are the void itself. Hence, as long as you are able to control the process of your 'dissipation', you don't need to consume anything to survive in the void. According to what I know, God Father also has such an ability. Also, King Huron, the three of you are able to survive in the void without consuming anything. Other than the three of you, there are four people that I know who can do the same thing … "
"Four Main Gods?" Sandora immediately understood.
"That's right. The highest Goddess of Life, the Dragon God, the Dark Goddess and the Light God. The four of them were directly influenced by God Father to ascend. It is said that they can travel freely in the void without consuming anything. They don't even need to put up any defenses as the void won't hurt them. All this while, this has been a rather vague concept to me. But now, I think I have seen an actual example. Medivh's situation is definitely the same as the four Main Gods. Although she isn't a creature of the void, she has obtained the same 'immunity' as a creature of the void. "
Little … the giant crow, Medivh, was still swimming freely in the experimental space outside. She floated here and there in high spirits, completely unaware of how shocking the place she was in was. She flapped her wings, but flapping her wings in such an environment didn't produce any propulsion. Thus, she was practically spinning on the spot. Even so, she was still extremely happy. She would occasionally raise her neck at the observation station beside her, as though inviting the people inside to go out and play with her.
"I am thinking about something else now …" Icetis saw that we were all deep in thought. Suddenly, her gaze fell on Sandora and her sister. "Why don't you go out for a while?"
Sandora and her sister were stunned. "Huh?"
"You always stay in the spaceship when you go out. It seems like you haven't been exposed to the void for a long time, right? Even if you do it occasionally, you are only exposed to the void because of Chen's protection. "Icetis smiled at Sandora." You know what I mean. "
Sandora understood and looked at Icetis. "Maybe Ah Jun's influence has appeared on us since a long time ago, but no one has noticed it?"
"After all, none of you would go out for a walk in the void for no reason. Not many Protoss would dare to do such a thing."
Sandora volunteered to be the first to go out and 'experiment' because she was the most experienced and knowledgeable among us. She had entered the void before in the past. Although she had never stayed there for a long period of time, she had never removed all the protection like today. However, even if something were to happen, she was powerful enough to return safely. That was why I agreed to let her be the first to go out.
"How do you feel?" Icetis asked through the mental connection. Sandora sounded surprised. "It's … magical. I don't feel like I am in the void. In fact, I am in a normal space. All the mathematical laws are still operating normally."
Without needing Sandora's report, we could see from the equipment that there was a zone of order around Sandora. This zone of order wasn't formed by her own efforts but by the void itself when she came into contact with it. It was just like what happened to Medivh.
Soon, Sis and Shallow Shallow went out to try it out. Later on, Pandora and Visca joined them. After that, Bubble, who had rushed over after hearing the news, carried his daughter and jumped out. A bunch of lively fellows swam happily outside. There were backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle … Of course, all of them were spinning on the spot. There was no water in that place.
By the time I came back to my senses, what should have been a serious experiment had become a playground for this family. Icetis looked at the excited fellows and sighed. "Damn it, I am so jealous."
"Cough, cough. Aren't you going to explain it to me?" I felt that I might have understood a little, but I wasn't very clear about the specific reason. The people around me had long been 'changed'? Being able to stay in the void like this was the result? Why?
Icetis glanced at me and hesitated for a long time before asking softly, "Do you really want to hear it?"
I thought about it for a while and suddenly got angry. "You are looking down on my intelligence!"
Icetis shrugged. "With your reaction speed, do I need to look down on you? Alright, alright, let's stop fooling around. I'll give you a simple explanation. You should know that the void is the source of all things. It contains everything. Anything that can be described and can't be described are included in it. Therefore, it is also an absolute 'zero'. You can say that it has everything, but you can also see that it has nothing. In short, it can't present any form of order that can be understood. Because in any situation, order means that it is no longer pure. It has attributes and tendencies. However, void creatures are the only exception. Do you think that you have order? "
I thought for a while. "I think so. I am quite principled."
Icetis looked dazed. "I shouldn't have told you so high-end … Forget it. Anyway, you just have to remember that void creatures are an absolute form of order. There isn't a more realistic and high-end 'example' than the three of you in the multiverse. This is what our Protoss guessed. The void contains everything. Therefore, it first contains the concept of 'absolutely not displaying any tendencies and order'. Since there is such a concept, it should also contain the concept of 'must display tendencies and order'. You are the manifestation of the latter. Father God said that void creatures should be created to fill in the void's lack of basic attributes. For something that contains' existence 'and' nothingness' at the same time, 'existence' must be independent, which is you and your two relatives. That is why you can use the identity of the void to create order. Hmm, you don't understand, do you? "
I furrowed my brows and glared at the unforgiving fellow. "Now, I can beat you."
"You can only bully girls." Icetis waved her fist at me. She actually dared to call herself a girl … Hmm, it doesn't seem wrong. "Let's get to the main topic now. Void creatures are the manifestation of order that the void recognizes while maintaining its original attributes (I couldn't find a good sentence for a long time). In other words, you are surrounded by order. Now, the things that are closest to you are being affected. Judging from the range of influence, it seems to be your courtyard. Then, this range is' beside you '. That silly bird, your bunch of daughters, your bunch of girls, your bunch of … Alright, I can't even continue. Anyway, these people are already infected with this attribute: the manifestation of order of the void. "
"In the end …" I glanced outside. "They can swim freestyle in the void?"
"Not in the void." Icetis looked at me deeply. "They are by your side. These people have been solidified. You know a name, it is called 'God's Side'. They are the people who stand by the side of God. Your family and that crow are examples. No matter where they go, their attribute is already 'God's Side'. This concept transcends all definitions of distance. Beneath their feet is your 'side'."
I pondered for a long time and decided not to continue asking about these questions …
Sandora didn't get addicted to playing outside like the others. She returned very quickly with a happy expression on her face. She said happily, "So that's how it is. Our changes have already started long ago but no one has noticed it."
"Who would have known that you guys would mutate in this direction first?" Icetis shrugged. "The things that happened to Chen He and you guys only happened to Father and the four Main Gods once countless years ago. Even Father himself couldn't remember the history of that time. So, we are all starting from scratch. But I am also curious. Do you really not feel any changes in your physique? Look at that silly bird, she's changed so much! "
Sandora furrowed her eyebrows and smiled perplexedly. "I am also quite curious. I thought that if I were to 'level up' under Ah Jun's influence, I would at least be able to notice the obvious changes in my body. But now, it seems that our changes have nothing to do with tangible things. Yes, the 'affinity' towards the void, or the ability to be exempted from it, strictly speaking, is still Ah Jun's power. It should be equivalent to him casting an eternal buff on all of us. The term commonly used in the Bubble is really appropriate here. So, maybe there will be other changes in the future. "
"Who knows?" Icetis mumbled. "If what you said is correct, then you guys still haven't changed. It's just that Chen's power has spread to you guys. Sigh, this is such a headache. Let's not think about it. When I have time, I will go back and ask our Big Sis. She might know something. "I was shocked." You have a Big Sis? What the f * ck? How awesome is that person?! "
"The highest Dark Goddess. Who do you think she is?" Icetis rolled her eyes at me. "I only recognize that one as my Big Sis."
I chuckled. "You only recognize that one as your Big Sis? What about Father? "Icetis stuck out her tongue." That belongs to the parents … "
There were still many things to study about the changes that happened to my sisters. It wasn't something that could be completed in a short period of time. There were three things that Sandora was most concerned about. First, was it because they were immune to the effects of the void? Second, was everyone in the family affected, including weak individuals like Chestnut and Anveena? Third, what should we eat for lunch today?
After weighing the pros and cons, Sandora decided to put aside the first two questions …
We brought Medivh, who had returned to her little girl form after a body check (The process was like this: the crow would spit out Medivh and return to its alternate dimension …) back home. We found that the girl named Vanilla who had appeared the night before had woken up. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room with Anveena, chatting softly.
Anveena gave Vanilla a bath and changed her into a dress that was similar to Medivh's. As the saying goes, clothes make the man. The little girl who had changed her appearance was a world of difference from the dirty-faced girl from last night. Her temperament was just like … just like Medivh. Alright, I admit that I really didn't know how to describe the temperament of a little girl from middle school. The only person who had a temperament at this age was a guy named Kuroko Shirai. That guy had a perverted halo that radiated a radius of more than twenty meters. It could be called temperament …
"Oh, it seems like you had a good rest." I waved at Vanilla. Then, I looked at Medivh jumping into Anveena's embrace while cheering. I said to the latter, "There's nothing wrong with your daughter's body. On the contrary, we realized that her super evolution was quite powerful."
Anveena instantly blushed. "Master, can you not continue on this topic?"
Vanilla stood up in a reserved manner. Then, she looked at us in surprise as we walked out of the teleportation door in the living room. Mm, surprise. Her expression was one of surprise and not shock. This meant that the teleportation door was something that she had never imagined before. I guessed that there must be something similar to teleportation magic in her world.
"Mm, mm … Hello." The little girl didn't know where to put her hands. So, she bowed clumsily. I couldn't help but laugh. "Why are you suddenly so reserved? Weren't you fine last night?"
Vanilla smiled embarrassedly. She seemed to feel that she had overreacted. Her gaze involuntarily drifted to Medivh, as though she wanted to greet her. In this unfamiliar place, Medivh was the only existence that she could rely on. I called Anveena to stand in front of me. "Did you tell her about the situation at home?"
Anveena nodded. "I told her everything, but she didn't seem to understand. She doesn't even know what's beyond the surface of the earth, let alone the multiverse."
I nodded in understanding. This was all within my expectations. Then, I sat next to Vanilla and tried to be as amiable as possible. "So, do you want to go home?"
