Chapter 1115 Cap 1113: Space Rim



Pov Magnus: 

I was amazed at my body after receiving the Dragon Seal from Zenos or as I should get used to calling it, my new Father. 

I had never heard of such a huge transformation in anyone who received a Dragon Seal of whatever race they were, I could feel that it wasn't just my body that changed, even my Soul was affected. 

The suffering of having my body destroyed and rebuilt from scratch was horrible, but feeling my Soul being shaped and hammered by that power was worse, I often felt the desire to stop this suffering, but I kept knowing that this was the path I chose. 

In the end, the result was more than I could have imagined, the power that runs through my body is fantastic, but receiving that power didn't make me happy, I didn't think I was worthy of that power, and I didn't do anything that deserves such a reward, I spent the last thousands of years trapped uselessly in a crystal. 

I couldn't stop my Father and my tribe that day, I couldn't do more than wait for those thousands of years, I didn't even have the ability to try to save or maybe even fight any of my tribe, all I did was stay standing there waiting while lamenting my uselessness thus far. 

"(Me receiving this power is not fair, I don't deserve this...)" (I) 

Sigh 

"But even if I don't deserve it, I'm going to make good use of that power, if I had been strong enough at that time I could have stopped my Father by force, if I was powerful enough I could have freed myself from that damned crystal..." (I) 

"If I had been capable enough I could have done something other than being a complete useless..." (I) 

I didn't want to feel so helpless again, I wouldn't accept suffering like that ever again. 

The image of my family, friends, and acquaintances running through my mind, I know that each one of them is dead now, but just as I have known them throughout my life, I will build a new family one day, meet new friends and create new ties that won't replace what I've lost, but maybe help fill the void I feel. 

"I will use this power to protect these bonds, I will not allow something like this to happen again!" (I) 

My sadness and guilt were crushed by my desire to destroy everything that stood in my way to protect these bonds that I hope to one day have again. 

"Looks like someone created some balls… hahaha hahaha…" (Natasha) 

"Madam... Nat..." (I) 

"Finish that sentence and your head will have a long encounter with the floor." (Natasha) 

"..." (I) 

"I meant, how nice to see you again Natasha." (I) 

"That's better, but I didn't come here for that, I came here because of that..." (Natasha) 

I could clearly feel Natasha's presence as soon as I heard her voice, she was flying close to the clouds descending until she was floating close to my face. 

As always being close to one of the Living Calamities is suffocating, the pressure of his Aura is on another level. 

As she talks about why she's here she points at me with her commanding hands down only making me more confused. 

"I came to train you, but that won't be now, I'll come back tomorrow and meanwhile try to meditate to have a better understanding about the changes in you." (Natasha) 

"But why do you want to train me? Zenos asked for this?" (I) 

"I don't recall offering options, your potential for combat seems glaringly obvious, my Little Brother never ceases to amaze." (Natasha) 

"With you, I'll have more options to fight, I'll make sure I'm not too far behind in strength, I don't want to have to make long trips like I used to when I wanted to find someone to fight." (Natasha) 

Her smile was kind of creepy, I've heard it said about the many times she started fights with the ancient Dragon Emperor or even the Elder Dragons just for fun. 

I don't know why she seems weaker than what I've heard at the time, but her personality matches what I've heard, if I can gain something by fighting and training with her, I won't let this opportunity pass. 

"I'll be in her care... Natasha." (I) 

"I hope you still maintain that determination tomorrow, I will also bring someone who arrived today, so get used to your body at least a little bit." (Natasha) 

"Would you be able to withstand the same training we gave Zenos?" (Natasha) 

She left speaking her thoughts aloud and with a smile that sent shivers down my back. 

I saw it disappearing in the same direction Zenos went earlier, I can only imagine it being the safe room on this floor of the Dungeon, at least now I know why the sky here looks different, be it the number of Suns, numbers of Moons or even the position of the stars, the sky here didn't make sense to me, but now that I know that this is a Dungeon, these inconsistencies start to make some sense. 

"I can't waste a second, let's see what this body can do." (I)

Pov Mirian's (?): 

As soon as I arrived at the vehicle's control room I sat in one of the empty chairs, it seems that this model still needs more than just one person, it must have been modified later to adapt to this pilot called Nara. 

I turn on the vehicle's systems at my desk and activate the monitors to learn more about this new model's capabilities, meanwhile, I deactivate the window tinting to see where we are. 

The ship was moving close to one of the moons, I was able to see some monsters fighting on the moon, it was just dots hitting each other over and over looking through the windows, but by using the ship's image collection capabilities I could see the monsters and take approximate measurements of their bodies. 

"(This is a good data collection capability, it was faster than the old model.)" (I) 

After that I confirmed the route we are taking, it seems that we have already passed through the Fortaleza city that protects this world, I did not receive much news during this year of infiltration, but it seems that it is still on hold as she said it would. 

"(Looks like the Spatial Rims also had their Ability improved during that time.)" (I) 

I was reading the records available on the vehicle to at least catch up on everything I still don't know due to my time infiltrated in that world. 

It didn't have many surprising things, it was more general information, and some clearly false, it must be to cause misinformation among enemies if the vehicle was recovered by enemies. 

As this was one of the protocols that I created, I was able to separate what was fake and what was real easily, it seems that during this time they continue to adapt our technology as needed. 

"Lady Miriam, we are approaching the Space Rim." (Nara) 

"Wasn't it supposed to be more distant?" (I) 

While answering her, I confirmed our current position, this vehicle's speed really was higher than what I remember, but our position is still far from the Space Rim I remember. 

"It was moved after an enemy attack tried to destroy it, we took the opportunity to place it in a closer and more hidden point." (Nara) 

As she spoke I realized that we were approaching a field of meteors, we moved slowly between them and sometimes inside them in hidden tunnels before exiting the other side. 

I was able to notice that the ship connected with several devices along the route and I noticed the security system and alarms installed throughout this place, not to mention being closer to this world gives us a strategic and safe point of movement due to how they did, it must have been that inconsequential idea since it must have been risky to do it deep at that point without drawing attention. 

Soon we arrived at one of several meteors or asteroids and entered its interior through a hidden door, I realized that there were magical barriers between the defenses, when we entered we passed automatic weapons until we reached a large ring of three layers with each layer rotating in a direction. 

It seems like it's already activating even before we enter, this should be a quick escape measure if necessary, I soon noticed the rippling space in the surroundings when the space inside the Space Rim was swirling like a whirlpool. 

As soon as we pass I feel a slight turbulence, it seems that the trip has also become more stable, which is good as it was getting seasick the way it was before. 

"We're going to spend one day in this space tunnel, after that we'll do a second the next Space Ring that will take us directly to the base." (Nara) 

"Construction should be complete by now, correct?" (I) 

"Yes ma'am, it was completed 7 months ago and has already undergone two reforms for expansion as well as improvement of the defense systems." (Nara) 

"So my plans followed faster than I thought." (I) 

"I couldn't say ma'am, I'm just a pilot, I leave these things more complicated to the planning center people." (Nara) 

"It's just a few I don't listen to, the base is under my command, I hope there aren't any idiots there now, I'd hate to have to punch someone on my return." (I)
