In an alternate reality, a strange yet distinctive phenomenon appeared.
Thump!
Thump!
Like the heartbeat of a man upon seeing his crush, a vast area spanning thousands of kilometers vibrated rhythmically, resonating with the endless sky filled with thousands of reflective gateways, each spanning between one to two kilometers and floating in perfect harmony.
Among them, a few hundred were linked together to form the shape of a hexagonal prism, resembling beehives.
However, at the center of this realm sat a man with shoulder-length ck hair on a tform exuding a greenish glow. He sat naked in a lotus Buddha stance, with a tranquil and ted expression, radiating peace.
Hours passed as he meditated in this entrancing world, while an ethereal blue fog coalesced around and got absorbed into his body.
"Phew! I can never feel content enough no matter how much time I spend inside the Conjunction of Space." spoke the man with a rustic yet authoritative voice.
He gazed at the thousands of floating gateways that suspended themselves in the vast sky, forming a massive school of fish.
Through each gateway, he could observe a different reality, or to be precise, apletely different dimension.
Despite their great numbers, surprisingly not a single one of these gateways led to any ces or regions that were part of Vantrea.
Nevertheless, the man''sposure was that of devotion as he kept gazing at this unceasingly beautiful dance of dimensions.
This man was the current Hero of Darkness... Kahn Salvatore.
----------------
Several months ago...
Upon his initial arrival, Kahn was awestruck by the First Walkers, the supposed best architects and creators of the world and the first civilization of Vantrea,prised of the Primordial Titans, as ryed by both Rathnaar and Vildred.
Unlike their mindless and wild brethren, the First Walkers were colossal beings bigger than tallest mountains; capable of controlling various elements andws of reality as part of their inherent abilities, unlike how Titans were typically depicted on Earth.
This ce was entirely surreal, and it should not have been able to exist harmoniously without tearing reality to shreds or copsing in on itself like a ck hole. All the dimensions, which were akin topletely different worlds on their own, even moved through time differently, and yet, they managed to coexist in perfect bnce.
But why did Kahne to this specific area of the Chamber of Exaltation?
The reason was straightforward yet subtle.
Back when Kahnmenced his actual training under Romulus and Vildred, Rathnaar divulged the actual function of the Chamber of Exaltation and revealed the true form of this deity-born creation. Upon Rathnaar bringing Kahn inside the Chamber of Exaltation for the first time, thetter felt a sense of calling from this ce.
However, he had other priorities and training regimes to follow, so he let go of this mild connection.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
As the days went by after Rathnaar taught Kahn how to utilize the Hall of Sentience, the birthce of the Element of Origin, Kahn managed to achieve a 30% Space Law infusion with the Dimensional Domain by consistently feeding it his Space Force daily.
And for some inexplicable reason, his gradual progression in infusing his Space Law also strengthened his mental connection to this ce, although Kahn could not trace its origin.
However, only after crossing the 50% Space Law infusion with the Dimensional Domain, did a surge of emotions cloud his mind. It was as if Kahn was connected to this ce via threads of destiny, feeling a strong pressure that was akin to suffocating under an unknown weight that he could not identify.
But the moment Kahn entered the Conjunction of Space through a well-hidden gateway that even Rathnaar had no knowledge of, a new and different feeling arose in his heart, one that he had never felt before on Earth or in Vantrea.
It was the emotion of ''belonging''.
For the first time in the past few years... Kahn felt rxed, carefree, and reborn.
He felt like he was finally… home.
----------------
After entering the Conjunction of Space, Kahn and hispanions encountered an enigmatic bluish fog of an unknown energy that even Vildred, a sage in thew of magic, could notprehend.
The origins of this fog were the gateways in the sky which leaked an ethereal energy from their interconnecting points.
Remarkably, the fog seemed to have a will of its own, as it assimted into Kahn''s body without causing any harm to his physical, mental, or spiritual being.
Upon researching, Kahn discovered that the bluish fog was referred to as Cosmic Aether, a byproduct of different dimensions and their respectivews blending together to some extent.
From Vildred''s personal archives and ancient records that he gathered centuries ago before he was imprisoned, it became evident that the only ce where such reserves of Cosmic Aether were found was in the Erdve Empire, also known as the Empire of Space.
As Kahn absorbed this Cosmic Aether, he felt his control over spacew increasing at a rapid pace. He also recognized that the Cosmic Aether was simr to his Space Force, but denser and more potent, akin to how mana and world energy were interrted.
However, they were not fundamentally the same either since the Space Force seemed more reclusive and only relevant to Vantrea while Cosmic Aether was a mixture of spacew but from different worlds and realities, unrestricted to a single dimension.
Most importantly, with every moment spent absorbing this cosmic aether, Kahn felt a transformative process urring within his Dimensional Domain, as if it was evolving into a higher form.
Finally, Kahn understood why the conjunction was capable of creating a perfect synergy between gateways leading to distinct worlds, a feat that seemed nigh impossible even in Vantrea.
His previous assumptions were only half-true as heprehended why or how could such a realm exists inside a creation of a deity.
It was not just a simple construct of the First Walkers; rather, it was either a fragment or a linchpin…
Of the Multiverse.
