Chapter 333: Sovereign Territory And Firmament Piercing Needle
[After all of your train crewmates became Race Progenitors, they all wanted to test out each other’s combat power.]
[Due to this, Jade and the others dragged you, Old MacDonald, and Bes into the battle simulation.]
[Without fearing death within the Training Ground World Carriage’s battle simulation, you, Jade, and your train crewmates fought each other to your heart’s content.]
[Of course, except for Bes, you all had fought each other before and already knew each other’s combat power and fighting style. So, the main highlight of this round’s battle simulation was fighting against Bes.]
[Among your train crewmates, Morvane was the most delighted in fighting against Bes, a legitimate Initial Celestial rank powerhouse.]
[After all, the Celestial rank Wild Gods in the battle simulation were just imitations. On the other hand, Bes was real and the current strongest in this universe.]
[Wanting to improve their combat experience and fighting style, Bes didn’t refuse the sparring matches requested by Morvane and your train crewmates.]
[It might be called a sparring match, but due to the battle simulation’s results not affecting one’s main body, you and the others fought to the death.]
[Only a fight to the death would display one’s highest combat power. Due to this, all of you and your train crewmates had died at least once against Bes.]
[However, you did discover that while Bes could kill you, Bes couldn’t do anything if you wanted to leave.]
[If the Sovereignty that Bes possessed were the high-grade Space Sovereignty instead of the low-grade Sovereignty, you and the others would undoubtedly be unable to leave and escape from Bes’s grasp.]
[The only instance where your train crewmates couldn’t leave was when Bes had used their Blood Sovereignty to transform the entire star system into their blood territory.]
[A Sovereign could use their Sovereignty to impose the power of their Sovereignty over reality, transforming it into their own territory. After all, a Sovereign couldn’t do without a territory.]
[It was for this reason that even False Celestial rank powerhouses would be no match against a Celestial rank powerhouse. Fighting a Celestial rank powerhouse within that Celestial rank’s sovereign territory was even worse than fighting an enemy within their home ground.]
[Not only would a Celestial rank powerhouse be familiar with the environment within their sovereign territory, but they also would be able to exert stronger power within their sovereign territory.]
[After all, the reality within the universe contained countless Universal Laws. However, within the sovereign territory, a Celestial rank powerhouse’s Sovereignty would become the main Universal Law within that space.]
[Of course, even within the sovereign territory, a Celestial rank powerhouse couldn’t usurp all Universal Laws and make it so that only their Sovereignty would remain within that area in reality.]
[Perhaps, only Divine rank powerhouses could achieve that.]
[Even so, Bes’s Blood Territory alone made it difficult for your train crewmates who lacked great escape methods to leave unharmed.]
[Only you and Jade could leave without sacrificing each of your Second Lives.]
[After all, Absolute Boundary and your Boundary Principle allowed you to enter the boundary between spaces. Nothing could truly trap you. If there was, then it was likely using means that were far stronger than your Absolute Boundary.]
[Otherwise, in the same power rank, no one could absolutely trap you. Even Jade’s time stop wouldn’t be able to stop you in place if you were to use Absolute Boundary.]
[You could easily pass through between the boundary of Bes’s blood territory and the real world.]
[As for Jade, she could escape by using future sight to predict Bes’s blood territory release in advance. But if she was already trapped within the blood territory, even Jade could only exchange her life to escape from Bes’s blood territory using her Equivalent Exchange innate talent and Exchange Principle.]
[However, among your train crewmates, while Morvane and Astraea could force their way out of Bes’s blood territory, there was still a train crewmate whose battle results surprised you.]
[It was none other than Magnus. Although Magnus lost miserably in his first battle against Bes, his second battle allowed him to escape Bes’s blood territory unscathed!]
[If you achieved that due to passing through the boundaries, Magnus achieved it by using his Science Principle and X-rank Demonic Scientist Laplace to figure out a gadget that could break through a Celestial rank powerhouse’s low-grade sovereign territory.]
[When he was given enough prep time, he managed to create that gadget, which he called the "Firmament Piercing Needle".]
[It was a needle that was capable of piercing through a low-grade sovereign territory by collapsing the pierced space from 4D into 3D.]
[With the space and reality within that area becoming weaker and more vulnerable, the needle could easily pierce through an exit which most lifeforms couldn’t enter due to chaotic spacetime within that area, but a False Celestial rank powerhouse like Magnus could still enter and exit from.]
[You discovered that Magnus’s Firmament Piercing Needle could even pierce through the sealed space caused by the Zenith Train’s Space Anchor.]
[You and the others were naturally in awe of Magnus’s invention. When science was high-end enough, it truly seemed like magic.]
[Of course, Magnus’s Firmament Piercing Needle wasn’t without limits. The energy required to activate it was astronomical, which was the total energy of multiple star systems.]
[Due to this, Magnus either had to use countless Starlight Berries and convert those into fuel for the Firmament Piercing Needle, or request an Initial Celestial rank powerhouse’s assistance in filling up the Firmament Piercing Needle with their energy.]
[In this case, Magnus had required Bes’s assistance in filling up the Firmament Piercing Needle.]
[Moreover, it wasn’t without limits. Due to the power of such an invention, the materials used by Magnus to create it couldn’t withstand the release of the Firmament Piercing Needle’s power, making it a single-use item.]
[In other words, its downside was that one would need an Initial Celestial rank powerhouse’s energy to pierce through the sovereign territory of another Initial Celestial rank powerhouse, with even the limitations of it being a one-use artifact.]
[Despite this limitation, it could allow any False Celestial rank powerhouse to escape from an Initial Celestial rank powerhouse’s sovereign territory!]
