Chapter 215 Divine Sense / Enigma Of Space And Time

After composing himself–an act that took several hours–Arthur decided to continue. A narrow pathway opened up yet again, leading him to another space. However, the crimson-eyed man decided he was not ready...

Yet.

He sat in a corner, his head buried between his knees. A deranged smile hung on his face. 258 deaths in a matter of days... each death was equally as bad. It was only that the crimson-eyed man had adjusted to the sensation.

The turmoil within his heart... he would need a few hours to adjust.

The only silver lining of the situation was a translucent, blue window that manifested before his eyes after a few minutes of reconsidering his life choices.

[Unlocking ability <Unique Sense>]

[New Ability: Unique Sense]

[Skill 'Mana Sense' has merged with 'Unique Sense']

[Unlocking ability <Divine Sense>]

[New Ability: Divine Sense]

[Description: Divine Sense boosts the user's default senses severalfold, unlocking the unique ability, 'sixth sense.' Using mana, the user can push Divine Sense to its full potential, allowing another boost in their senses.]

The description wasn't presented in the form of a window but was instead a tidal wave of information that flooded into Arthur's mind, producing excruciating pain that caused Arthur to vomit.

He immediately spread [Divine Sense].

Arthur's hair shot up while his eyes widened. He revealed an expression of true shock. Information flooded his brain at a terrifying pace, while he suddenly gained the ability to "see" mana.

In its purest form–when it was mixed within the atmosphere–mana could be sensed, but not seen. It was only once it condensed that the supernatural energy gained the quality of tangibility and the capability of being perceived by the naked eye of a human.

Even [Mana Sense] couldn't see mana, and could only utilize the energy to heighten the five senses.

But the sixth sense?

It possessed the capability of making mana visible to the naked eye while it was in its purest form.

More than anything, however, Arthur enjoyed the feeling of control. When [Divine Sense] was active, he could sense all movements, no matter how slow, fast, big, or small they were. He could sense the forms of nature.

Arthur took a deep breath, absorbing mana for a few hours before finally entering the narrow passageway in order to continue.

He walked for a few minutes before arriving at another space. Only, this one had a radius of around twenty kilometers, with mesmerizing scenery. Arthur stood atop a peak coated by heavenly, white sheets.

The Sun shone brightly atop the white sheets.

Arthur revealed a smile. His face had splotches of darkness under his eyes, with hollow cheeks due to a lack of food. He immediately began absorbing the Sun Energy, as his mana and power had returned.

Assuming a meditative state, he cleared his thoughts.

The energy soon cooled his heating body, sending shivers down his spine at how comfortable the sensation felt.

It wasn't long before his reserves were full. Despite that, Arthur continued to sense nature's energy by spreading [Divine Sense]. It didn't engulf the entire space, but it did seem to encompass most of it.

"Enjoying yourself?"

A rather playful voice entered Arthur's ears, startling him. '[Divine Sense] wasn't able to sense his approach?'

The voice was somewhat childish but also contained immense wisdom. It seemed to belong to a rather old man. It was also authoritative. The power behind the seemingly calm, composed voice was unknown.

'How are dead people coming to life?' Arthur wondered. His resurrection was probably a byproduct of soul detachment or perhaps an Ethereal, tangible body. But what about those who actually perished?

How were they coming back to life?

Arthur could only assume the person before him was the Blade Sovereign.

"Oh, so you do have brain cells."

The voice flowed into Arthur's ears yet again. As the crimson-eyed man opened his eyes, he spotted a rather handsome figure standing before him.

With porcelain skin that seemed jade-like, along with blazing, red hair that emerged from his scalp, flowing down to his waist like a waterfall, the old man could already be labeled as fairly handsome.

Paired with his bright, emerald eyes that seemed to contain the world within them and a body forged by the heavens themselves, the old man could be considered God's creation.

"Well, thank you for the compliment, but I don't swing that way," the Blade Sovereign hesitated, his eyes darting from place to place.

"You can sense my thoughts?" Arthur inquired, narrowing his eyes.

"Yeah, isn't that obvious?"

"Are you the God that remains at the apex of the tower?" Arthur asked, his eyes observing the floor to see if he'd actually ended up on the 100th floor.

"No..."

"Then how can you sense my thoughts? Are you a Demon or an Angel?"

"I'm mortal, much like you," the Blade Sovereign pointed out, a faint smile hanging on his lips. However, his eyes didn't seem to reflect the emotion and simply shone with a certain indifference. "Now, ignore that aspect for a second."

Arthur nodded. It was best not to offend a figure such as this.

"Follow me," said the Blade Sovereign. "You do know of the Starbreakers, correct?"

"Yes," Arthur replied but furrowed his brows in the process. Why wasn't the Blade Sovereign aware of his thoughts? Couldn't he read his mind? Was conversation even necessary with such an ability?

A smirk blossomed on the emerald-eyed man's face. "Then you should also be aware of the Enigma Of Space And Time. Well, he was one of the core... you aren't aware of that man, are you?"

The Blade Sovereign's voice trailed off as he read Arthur's mind, realizing the crimson-eyed man was not aware of the existence of the Enigma Of Space and Time. His expression turned blank. "How are you aware of my existence, yet not his?"

"Because you were the one who ascended as a calamity. I don't know the Enigma Of Space And Time, since his feats were not that great, I guess."

Suddenly, the Blade Sovereign burst into laughter.
