Chapter 84 - Helheim

If I replicate such things as Bifrost, that would be a great boon. Not even Solar Federation had such an advanced method of travel during my age, though there were some proposals to use Immaterium for that, that was too dangerous.

Asgard was a very advanced civilization that has fallen in terms of strength since the ages of God-King Buri, who founded Asgard in the Astral Boundary. During the age of God-King Borr, they lost in some conflict in the Astral Boundary and suffered great losses and were forced to flee.

And truth to be told, Dimensional Gap was just a poor, backward, primitive area even when it was part Astral Boundary and not sealed dimension. Here resources were scarce; energy density was low and magical laws were weak.

I was currently located at the Helheim outskirts and was far away from the central location, where Hela was with her army and followers.

Here in the outskirts of the Helheim, it was filled with countless undead that was walking here and there aimlessly. Skeletons, Zombies, Undead Creatures such as dragons, giants, and many others.

The especially entire place was filled with Draugrs. A type of undead that inhabited the entire Helheim. They looked like a weird combination between mummy and zombie with azure glowing eyes.

Most of them were created or birthed from deceased aesir warriors whose corpses were dropped into the Helheim, where the unique energy of the Helheim resurrected them.

I walked through the plains of the Helheim while I was in a constant state of vigilance. While I was at the Ultimate-Class, Helheim was a hazardous place, even for those far stronger than me. Additionally, what was worrying me was whether Odin's army already arrived at the Helheim.

Soon enough, I sensed a huge horde of Draugrs coming in my direction, from which I sensed one Ultimate-Class Draugr. I was even tempted to kill it, to see their combat prowess how strong they are.

I stood in the direction of the Draugr horde and started casting a [Dimensional Slash] spell. In ten seconds, I already completed the spell model and released the spell at them. From a distance, I observed how the [Dimensional Slash] tore the fabric of the reality and entire space where they were just disappeared into nothingness.

Soon enough, the Helheim just repaired itself just like nothing happened. I also had Architect record this entire fight for research purposes as it how Laws of the World influenced the strength of spell and energy-based attacks.

"How strong are Magical Laws of Helheim compared to those in the Underworld?"

[Weaker by several-fold. Underworld has a higher level of Magical Laws, which is more suitable for the growth of powerhouses, though Magical Laws here are still stronger compared to the other planes such as Yestera. If the Dimensional Slash spell were cast in Yestera, it would take several days for the plane to heal the damage on the fabric of reality, here it was done in minutes.]

Stated Architect his analysis.

"Why are Magical Laws stronger in Underworld compared to those here?"

I ask.

[Probably due to the nature of the Nine Realms itself. They are getting weaker due to not being properly assimilated with the Magical Laws of the Dimensional Gap; probably the reason is they didn't have any Being of Law when they transported the entire Yggdrasil to the Draconic Deus and when the Dimensional Gap was created. From my analysis, if Nine Realms were in the Astral Boundary, your spell wouldn't even be able to tear the space there, as Magical Laws in Astral Boundary should be even a hundred times stronger than here.]

"That is understandable. Draconic Deus is much weaker than the Astral Boundary. While the creation of Dimensional Gap saved a few, it doomed rest to be on the bottom of the food chain."

I said.

Mighty Stage Gods who were Being of Laws created Dimensional Gap to protect their civilization from the strife in the Astral Boundary, where civilizations, factions perished each day. And another result of this action was that the entire Dimensional Gap was getting weaker and weaker with each passing millennium.

As it was completely severed from the Astral Boundary, its Magical Laws were being developed in different ways, or rather say they degraded, energy density lessened, and it was harder for powerhouses to emerge.

Even now, Dimensional Gap had maybe fifteen Apocalypse-Class entities at best and zero powerhouses above the Apocalypse-Class.

"Hmm..."

I muttered some incomprehensible sounds before I started moving once again, going deeper to the Helheim.

After several hours and skirmishes with a few monsters and undead, I finally arrived at the deeper parts of the Helheim.

I recognized from the simple fact, as I saw outposts and sentries of the Hela's army that was patrolling area.
