Chapter 445: The Creator
Chapter 445: The Creator
In the beginning, Shane didn’t realise that anything had happened because his body was surging with energy.
Never had he felt as powerful as he was right now.
With a single liquefied drop of mana in his mana pool, Shane knew that he could defeat Megane without an issue.
That was under the assumption that she had yet to start her mana liquefaction procedure.
Shane was not even sure how long it took him to liquefy his mana, let alone gauge the exact strength he had attained.
Yet, what he noticed was that his mana pool was crumbling under the torment energy of a perfectly purified and liquefied drop of mana.
Because of that, the mana pool was instinctively being regenerated, only to crumble once again.
This caused a chain reaction of unbearable pain that spread through Shane, only for him to realise that the pain was barely lessening with time.
Every second felt like an eternity, but he endured it without making a single sound.
Everyone who liquefied their mana had to undergo such pain, and even if his mana was pure, causing more changes in his body, it expelled a reeking, black mass, which began to cover his entire body.
Shane had never expelled so many impurities, but neither had he expected his mana pool to be torn apart and repaired hundreds of times, only to enlarge.
He was not even able to breathe properly, and after aeons seemed to have passed, the pain disappeared gradually.
His eyes were closed, and his body drained of energy which made him collapse on the ground.
Yet, the first thing Shane noticed was that there was something extremely soft that enveloped him the moment he hit the ground, as the stench that had infiltrated his nose was washed away.
Only a few seconds later, he sensed that something was brushing past him.
Shane could faintly see something out of the corner of his eye, but it shocked the young man extremely.
What enveloped him seemed to be real clouds while the things that brushed past him seemed to be a miniature version of a dragon.
However, that was not exactly the truth, because the miniature dragon was in fact a small, black flame with a golden eye that pierced right through Shane, releasing a pressure he had never felt before.
At that moment, the dragon that was made of flames spit out a gigantic black flame that enveloped Shane, who wanted to instinctively activate the [Space Jump] ability to move away from the place he was lying in.
Despite his efforts, everything was futile because his body was not obeying his commands.
At the same time, he sensed that not a single ability was working anymore.
As such, he could only close his eyes and grit his teeth the moment the black flame hit him.
To Shane’s surprise, the flames were hot, but they didn’t burn him the moment they made contact with his skin.
Instead, they soothed the tension inside his body, while burning the impurities that enveloped him tightly, like an armor of mud.
With the tension in his body released, Shane felt as if he could move again to a certain extent.
It was not much, but the moment the black flame was extinguished, he tried to push himself from the soft, yet firm cloud.
Upon opening his eyes, they widened further as he took a look around.
‘Where the hell am I?’ He mumbled because the sheer mass, purity, and density of mana exceeded everything Shane could have ever imagined.
Furthermore, even if he wanted to ignore it, there was nothing but clouds and a single, magnificent building all around him.
He was not sure how far he could see but the entire surroundings were void of elevations, except the marbled stairs that lead him straight to the magnificent palace that was only a few hundred meters away from him.
The golden-eyed black flame dragon was already hissing at him, indicating Shane to hurry up.
Despite not knowing what exactly the flame was, he didn’t dare to ignore it, as he hastily got up to rush after it.
However, that was easier said than done because the mana in the surrounding was overbearing and stubbornly set, not moving even a single inch.
As such, Shane felt like he was walking through a deep mud field while only his head was protruding out of the mud, allowing him to breathe.
To his shock, even breathing became more difficult with time, and Shane could only barely fight against the pressure of the surrounding mana as he got an idea!
The idea could be rude to the Creator, who he was likely to meet just in a few minutes, but even then, Shane felt that he should be able to walk up the stairs faster.
Because of that, he released the entire absorption rate of his soul world, absorbing the mana from his proximity.
Still astonished, Shane noticed that he could move a little bit better, yet, at the same time, he realised that the mana around him was still extremely dense, ignoring the high mana absorption rate.
It was as if the mana was endless, however, that was not everything!
Shane also noticed that there was something else in the air, something he couldn’t absorb, but it pressured him just like the surrounding mana!
However, as he didn’t have the necessary time to investigate everything, Shane took one step after another in order to approach the palace that radiated a bright golden hue.
If he would still been living on his old planet, he would have thought that he’d entered the palace of a God.
But because that was not the case, and existences similar to Gods were more common than in his old life, Shane could only take a deep breath as he stepped through the gigantic door of the divine palace.
At that moment, the pressure around him lessened drastically, which allowed his soul world to work properly.
Through the mana absorption of the Hidden paradise, the remains of the pressure radiating from the surrounding mana were absorbed, giving Shane the freedom to breathe and move freely.
This allowed him to see where the miniature golden-eyed black flame dragon was flying to.
He could see the outlines of a human-like being, and only a moment later the flame disappeared, seemingly merging with the being as a sonorous voice resounded in the divine palace.
“Not bad, young man! Your soul world is already much stronger than I expected. It was wise of you to purchase a soul world awakening before the bloodline awakening.
This made many things much easier for you!”
Shane felt that the voice was familiar, only to recall that he had heard it once, after the bloodline awakening.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t focus on his memories as the being he presumed to be the Creator took a step forward, revealing his appearance.
What Shane saw made him look at the Creator in shock, not sure whether his eyes were deceiving him.
The Creator saw this, and without wasting more of their precious time, he explained,
“I know what you’re thinking. ‘Is he a human?’… Unfortunately, this question is a little tricky, and it should be enough for you to know that I have to seal my power and true form just for letting you meet me…
As such, you can only see a part of the truth because there are a few things you need to know!”
Looking straight into the golden-silverish eyes that released a distinct sense of kindness and the vibrant smile of the young man who looked to be in his early 20s, the Creator said those words. Upon hearing the voice, Shane was not sure whether he was at the correct place or not.
‘Just who…or what is the Creator?!’
