After having spoken with the gods about various issues, I finally set off to complete the dungeon once, and for all… of course, the relocation of the High Thunder Gillman Nation population was first.
But I was doing such thing from the very morning, through a few of my true body Clones, which I spread across the Nation, the people packed most of their things inside of their Item Boxes and then set off into my Empire.
Due to the High Thunder Gillmen people requiring humid places to live comfortably, they were sent to the Aquaria Kingdom, where there are many ponds of the lake's water everywhere, and the overall atmosphere is also quite humid.
Nannet was a bit saddened by how the nation was emptied in the span of a few hours, but after she explored my Empire alongside Goghesdum, Odanth, Yvnei, and Yerze, she was fascinated by the infrastructures, the various vassal nations, the teleportation gates, and the Aquaria Kingdom, which was at least three times as bigger as the Gillmen Nation.
And about the Gillmen Nation buildings… they seemed very specialized in their function below water, moving them to the surface might not be a good idea… the Lake where the Aquaria Kingdom is located is rather spacious, due to the Aquaria Kingdom being inside a special space made through the artifact in the form of a giant door.
Aside from the giant door and the teleportation gates put inside of the Aquaria Kingdom, the lake seems mostly empty despite there being a different space there where the Aquaria Kingdom is located.
Now that I had a major knowledge about the Space Attribute in Genesis after having eaten half of Kheseerad, I have discovered that this door artifact creates something remarkably similar to the pocket space of Kheseerad, a space within the spatial layers, distorting them around and creating a space in a different dimension from within the same place, although the Aquaria Kingdom is there, its also not.
I began to wonder if the Merfolk Old Ancestor had asked for the help of a powerful Spatial Magician to create that door for him, because what I remember about fighting him, he did not use any type of Space Attribute Magic Spell, and seemed to be a Water Attribute Specialist.
Well, it is useless to ponder about it for now, as no one in the Aquaria Kingdom knew much about him, not even Caspian, even when he begged for mercy, he didn't know much other than wanting the Old Ancestor to gain some of his youth and power by absorbing Belle's Blessing effect…
Haah, I do not want to remember that…
Anyways, if I practice enough with my Space Attribute Magic, I might be capable of creating artifacts similar to those… although it might seem useless, as I can simply move my whole Empire inside one of my Inner Realms if I ever wanted.
However, I still think that there might be some uses for me… perhaps I can store my Empire inside of my Inner Realms and then hide through the Spatial Layers… if there is not an enemy capable of disrupting space, then I will be mostly safe!
It might be a good trump card… although I still cannot simply teleport around as I wished I could do so whenever I acquired a Divinity of the Space Attribute… Perhaps different Space Attribute Divinities give different effects and spells to use those effects with.
Kheseerad was specialized in the disruption of space, hence his divinity was called 'Foreign Trespassing', he was able to break through spatial layers and enter Divine Realms or other areas easily, but in other things such as offense, warping, teleport, and more, he was quite weak.
Maybe if I had eaten him entirely… but I only ate half, and then, perhaps, another half of it after munching on Zubekh… But even after eating a third of his entire self, I still lack the power to do some of the awesome stuff that you always imagine that Space Attribute Gods can do.
Well, creating Pocket Spaces and disrupting space with even more ease than before is a good thing, yes. I should stop complaining and be happy with what I got for now.
Anyways, as everyone finished having breakfast, I converted the rest of the nation of the High Thunder Gillmen into a giant golem and then saved it inside of my Item Box until I was to find a way to integrate it into the lake of my Empire… It was pretty big, so it took around ten spaces inside the Item Box…
Hm, now that I think about it… Isn't the Item Box also some kind of Space Attribute Magic or power? Yeah! It is!
So everyone in this world seems to be given this Space Attribute Spell where they can store things freely… however, the amount of things that can be stored vastly differs depending on the strength of the individual, or that is what I've found out.
It also seems that monsters that are not as intelligent to notice, never get to use their Item Boxes.
Wait, even a chicken has an Item Box? This is quite the wicked world, huh? Though it might only have like one space, barely… but just thinking about a normal chicken having the power to store an item inside a different spatial dimension is… pretty crazy.
And another thing… where do all the items that people carry in their Item Boxes go after their death? I should have asked Agatheina… Maybe whenever I have time. I do not think it is just a secretive thing, so the gods might have some idea.
I doubt that people simply drop all of their inventory when they die, as that does not happen, I remember killing a lot of humans and they never dropped any items. The only place where you can find living beings dropping items is inside dungeons and nowhere else.
This is also why it is so convenient to live inside giant dungeons such as this one, the people that live inside like the High Thunder Lizardmen, Gillmen, Siren, and Viper can hunt any monsters inside and will both get the monster's meat, materials, and dropped items to boot.
You can simply go around killing small fry, collect their corpses for meat and other materials such as their fur, and then grab the bronze, silver, or gold coins, alongside any equipment pieces, potions, or anything they can give out. It is really like playing a game, way more than outside with the System…
I guess this is how the human and demi-human Kingdoms and Nations maintain themselves so well despite not doing much, and through the ridiculous amount of resources, they can also keep increasing their population.
It is simply a way too good a system to the point that everything gets convoluted and inflated, I suppose this is why mortals went from almost going extinct to overpopulating all realms like now, to the point that the World's Will and the Supremes want to do a little purge with the Primordial Beasts. And because the more mortals there are, the more gods will be born from within them, and more and more gods seem to be problematic as well.
Though, should not they be happy about more gods? It means more work hand to help them out maintain the attributes of the world… or is it that more gods mean that the world somehow gets more tired? As if you were putting more and more weight inside a plastic bag, at some point, the bag breaks…. Is it why too many gods are problematic?
Or perhaps they also fear that when there are enough new gods, one of them will one day become a Supreme as well, and try to revoke the old system like Agatheina and the other gods said.
Well, there are two theories, for now, I suppose.
Okay, there is a third theory of mine, hear me out.
What if… the World's Will is just bored? And the same with the Supremes?
So, they begin doing chaotic things to see how the world develops around it, and get some fun as well…
Maybe?
Or maybe not?
Well, it all depends if the Supremes are as stupid as I imagine or not…
Anyways, after saving the golem inside of my Item Box, we set off through the skies, we wanted to get to the depths of the Labyrinth and defeat the final boss, and also the secret boss. I have already arranged it with Nyzzet, so whenever the final one is killed, the secret one will show up afterward almost immediately… Hopefully, both can reward me with loot boxes and other things.
Actually, this could be a good way to try out my new Space Attribute Magic!
"Everyone, get in!" I said, as my family quickly entered my Inner Realm: Soul World, then, I conjured several Spatial Spells, distorting the Spatial Layers around and generating a pocket space!
And then, I began to move through this space!
It was pretty crazy, to say the least, you can see that each Spatial Layer is like a long thread made out of white and dark blue essence, there are also enormous streams of Mana going all around. It is possible to make the Pocket Space invisible or not, if I do so, I can see how I move through the distortion of the Spatial Layers, it is as if they were slowly accommodating to my Pocket Space.
I let my family get out of my Inner Realm when I had everything settled up. Although this Pocket Space could b considered to be out of Genesis in some ways, there was no oxygen here and it was rather cold, but everyone was doing just as fine. At this point, everyone had acquired the 'Internal Breathing' Skill or were wearing an accessory that granted the Skill's effect, and for the cold, most were resistant to all elements, but Oga and Kaguya created a warm atmosphere by using their Auras anyways, so everyone was comfortable inside.
We put down several cushions and chairs, alongside many tables filled with snacks so everyone could enjoy the mystical and otherworldly view through the invisible Pocket Space, as I moved it with a rather fast speed.
It seemed that the faster you moved through the Spatial Layers, the brighter would everything become.
I wonder if I develop this Divinity even further… could I be able to visit other dimensions and worlds aside from Genesis? Breaking through the Spatial Layers and entering different planes. It seemed that Kheseerad had once tried to do something similar to what I am saying, but he failed, there is a certain level of attainment needed in the Space Attribute, alongside Divine Energy and many other factors to be capable of having enough power to break through the Spatial Layers completely. At most, I can distort them, but for what I am imagining, I would need the power of a Great or Supreme God.
But isn't this quite cool though? As long as I keep progressing, I might be capable of one day visiting Earth again! Though it might be awkward, and it is nothing but a dream… Wait, dreams?
There is also the possibility of connecting my Dreams with Earth's dreams and enter that world through my dreams, but I have no idea how to do it. It also seems that if I ever do that, only my consciousness might be sent there, not the rest of my being.
I think I can exert a few of my powers through only my consciousness, but not as much as it would be if I carried my body or my whole soul… well, perhaps there might be a way to merge both Space Attribute and Dream Attribute in some way…
"Wow! This is way too bright!" said Vudia.
"What a beautiful sight… It feels as if we are diving through the stars…" said Brontes.
"Are those white streams what you call Spatial Layers, Honey?" asked Zehe.
"Is this considered as a different dimension?" asked Nesiphae.
"Mommy! Look at that!" said Ailine.
"Wait, is that thing moving?" asked Amiphossia.
Suddenly, the space around us began to distort as creatures of strange shapes emerged from within, although they were not aggressive, and simply dived through the streams of mana.
"Huh? Ah! I remember some of those things! They're the Space Attribute Divine Beasts!" said Charlotte.
"Oh, are they in their natural environment?" asked Lilith.
"It seems that they live in between the Spatial Layers… this would be a good opportunity to hunt them, but let's leave them alone for now, they're rather pretty…" said Brontes.
The Space Attribute Divine Beasts were shaped in many forms, some were made of dozens of jewels of many shapes and forms, while others resembled creatures made out of phantom. Some resembled enormous whales diving in the Spatial Layers as if they were a sea.
When Kheseerad freed many of these creatures to create a distraction, I managed to eat a ton, so I do not feel like hunting them for now.
"Indeed, it is a nice view," I said.
