Chapter 355: Eighty-Third Floor, The Void (5)

As soon as she heard my accusation, the queen sharply drew in a breath. Her small pupils dilated wide.
Upon seeing that, I didn’t feel the need to press further—my guess had landed right on the mark.
I began to suspect something after passing through the dimensional gate at the nest. Unlike the one at the forward base, that one resembled those used by the inhabitants of the Void.
Looking from the outside, they were different, but the color within matched.

Of course, I hadn’t been immediately convinced—a change in hue wasn’t conclusive evidence. It was enough to form a suspicion, however, since the portals I had encountered before tended to stay the same depending on the user.
The pieces only started falling into place as I spoke with the chairman.
They hadn’t developed interdimensional travel through their own efforts; instead, they had simply discovered an existing gate.
Apparently, it connected directly to the Void.
That was when they began their research.
Eventually, they managed to create something similar, though it was far from perfect. It only allowed travel within the same realm.
