Chapter 310 Takashi's Chronicles - The World Beyond
Both beings floated within the Overvoid, moving closer towards it boundary, or the edge separating itself and the Seas of Nothingness.
Takashi's dark-navy blue hair, that seemed black due to how dark it was, floated serenely within the Overvoid that was devoid of any Laws.
Not even the powerful reinforced Absolute level Laws that Supreme Gods wield to affect even the prosperity of entire Verses were here. Laws that possibly could influence even a Chaos.
There were none in this place.
Yet Takashi and Maddog floated peaceully without much of a problem. And throughout their flight, they struck up a conversation.
Or rather, the talkative Maddog did, to ease his nerves. An Ancient God reincarnate was desperation trying to ease his nerves, one could imagine what was within this place.
"Little Ancestor, we are about to reach the Seas of Nothingness." He spoke, as his posture seemed confident and Prideful, yet deep down, he was not.
He stood straight and tall as they flew higher, his hands held behind his back like a Sword Sage. A posture fitting for an Ancient who had the right to look down on all of CHAOS.
Yet even this Ancient, had a hint of nervousness within his tone. One that even Takashi could discern clearly.
"I know." Takashi responded as usual, stoic and emotionless, as his dark eyes gazed ahead, ignoring the nervous Ancient God accompanying him on this juncture.
"The Seas of Nothingness are dangerous. They are called Nothingness, but are unrelated to the Laws of Nothingness." But Maddog did not seem to mind that much.
This fellow floated alongside Takashi and continued to speak, "They are powerful Constructs beyond Laws, by multiple degrees. They are made out of the Chaotic combustion of the Absolute versions of all Laws."
"Though we would not be erased completely as Ancient Gods are beyond everything, the Seas of Nothingness are likewise beyond everything else, and can limit our capabilities."
Like a teacher giving out knowledge to their pupil, or rather, like a son trying so hard to impress their father with the knowledge they had, Maddog continued;
"The Seas of Nothingness is the aspect of the Void sorounding the Origin World. Thus it became the very essence that the shattered Fragmented Essences the World float in.
"Of course these Fragmented Essences of the Origin World are the beyond Infinite amount of CHAOS currently spread out. So you can imagine how potent it is."
He said cautiously, as he gazed worriedly at Takashi by his side. But Takashi did no seem to take all of that in mind though.
It's been almost four minutes since her was within this place. Which, to the normal rate of time, was forty whole years.
And within that forty years, he had cultivated his Laws to great heights. He was not like Enigma, who had Unrivaled Talents, and a massive Consciousness. Never like him.
So this place was ideal for him. His talent that barely qualified as an ARC was enhanced greatly here, to the point where he felt like he exceeded the normal standards of ARCs.
Then there was the massive boost he felt when cultivating. Thus, all that together, led to him falling in love with this place, and was curious about the world above this one.
He also managed to cultivate all his three Laws to complete Qausi-Major Law, and was now inching closer to comprehending them to Major Law level... or Advance level in laymen laws.
Doing something that would take even other ARCs at his level, over two thousand years, in just forty plain years, or barely four minutes here. Who wouldn't be happy at that point?
"Yes, I know that much. You sing that to me on a daily basis." Takashi responded with a lack of interest, as his low, yet slightly deeper tone came out as plain as ever.
"Sing? Com'on, I'm not that annoying." Maddog retorted lightly as they continued flying higher, but Takashi just silently glanced at him briefly, before glancing up once again.
"...."
"Hey, you don't really think I'm annoying do you?"
"...."
"...Little Ancestor, you're ruthless."
"Shut up, and say something that makes more sense. You said the Seas of Nothingness are terrifying right? So, to what extent?" Takashi finally could not bare the annoyance, and changed the topic.
Maddog did not feel offended though. He was more than used to this behavior by now. Thus without a change of expression, he continued his words.
"Well... vastly." Maddog said as they both reached the boundary separating the colorful Overvoid, from the colorless Seas of Nothingness.
The Boundary was like a thin Membrane, in between two regions of opposite nature. Thus creating a scenery of beauty and myth, to the highest degree.
"As you might know, there are hierarchies of Existence, each hierarchy have more hierarchies within, right? For example, there are <Insignificant Existence>, which are all Living Beings, or more closely known as the Mortals."
"They have their own sub hierarchies, with each sub hierarchy having more hierarchies. For example, the three Leagues, the 1st League housing Apprentice, Advance and Master beings."
"The 2nd League, housing the Master, Great Master and Grand Masters, which are more closely known as peak beings of their individual races. Close to being considered super-beings."
"The 3rd League, having the superbeings at the level of Epics, Legends and even Saints. The strongest of them being capable of affecting even planets at base, considered godly."
He spoke slowly and calmly, whilst observing the thin Membrane, alongside Takashi. They were, or rather, Takashi was appreciating the beauty of this area a bit more.
Before they could pass through, with the help of Maddog, of course. Takashi, knew he would never be able to affect this barrier right now, or maybe even in the coming years.
Maddog then continued, "And then there is the Half-Deities, who are considered in between the <Insignificant Existence> and the <Unique Existence>."
"They fall in both Existential levels, as they are the ones who are considered the strongest within Planetary Systems, capable of affecting the main star of their solar system, as Overlords."
"Whilst on the other hand, within the Intergalactic System, they are on the lower platform. If not directly considered the weakest amongst all <Unique Existence>."
Takashi knew about all of this, but did not stop Maddog from continuing. There might be something he didn't know, considering how old Maddog is.
"And along the <Unique Existence>, there are three Leagues, the 4th League housing the Half-Deities, the 5th League housing all Deities, from Lesser Deities to Deity Kings."
"And the final League, the 6th, housing the Ancient Deities. Simple considered Multiversal Overlords, and likewise, the strongest of all <Unique Existence>."
"And above this Hierachy, is the third one, the <Higher Existence>. Which also have their own Sub hierarchies. Lesser Divinities, which are the 7th League, Greater Divinities which are the 8th League."
"And lastly, the Supreme Divinities, the 9th League. Amongst them, the weakest is considered Hyperversal, and the strongest, at most Low-Chaotical. They can affect all of Chaos, below the Greater Chaos level, that includes all the countless Chaos that can be found within a single Greater Chaos."
Maddog spoke, as he used his hand to effortlessly tear apart a hole onto the barrier. He made it as effortlessly as popping a bubble, making it seem simple.
But Takashi knew it was far from being that simple. Especially if the Membrane is above even the Overvoid itself, making it layers above the Greater World of Terra.
"Now, all that I have mentioned, are blatantly insignificant to the Seas of Nothingness. They would perish as swiftly and as fast, as a bubble making contact with a person."
"Their very Existence, through Time, through Space, throughout all Laws, through Realms, will be obliterated. Regardless of who, or how special you are, as long as you below the next Extistential level..."
"Death is Destined. Not even the Plot of Existence would save you at that time... Either than, when an <Illogical Existence>, or better known, Absolute beings, do something about it."
"I might not be one, but I can definitely make sure you do not die in this trip. It's just that, even if I was at my peak, I really doubt I'd protect you from that big guy out there."
Maddog said the latter part of his words warily, as he covered both himself and Takashi with Boundless power, that was multiple times purer than Reiki itself.
And Takashi, who was quite intrigued by the different source of power, either than Reiki, had his Laws, pushed him deeper into the boundary of Nothingness. A place... even Creators wouldn't willingly play within.
"Let's go. I'm curious whether we will meet this beast you fear so much... or whether I shall finally attain a spark of the power of Nothingness." He said, boldly walking into the barrier. 'And whether such power, can stand up against the glory of the Mystiques.' He thought, his eyes flashing with determination.
Meanwhile, Maddog could only helplessly sigh, as he used his innate barrier that protects his body, yo spread out over the both of them. 'Little Ancestor, you... are going to kill me one day. No. Let alone me, you will kill yourself as well!!' He thought in bitterness.
But... there was nothing more he could do, than to cry bitterly even more. For the moment they went into the Seas of Nothingness, deep within, a massive eye opened up, flashing with a multicolored Radiance.
