Chapter 877: Nightmarish underwater city
It took the full power of his Collapsing Space-Time Eye and mastery over the Law of Space to make the cocoon, and after making sure everything was ready, Cain moved through the dimensional barrier.
The next second, the Scarlet King's presence vanished from Aether.
Cain could not help but frown, as unlike the underwater cave, there was light inside the parallel dimension. His eyes immediately adapted to the light, and the next second, a sense of shock and awe assaulted him as he saw a massive underwater city.
The parallel dimension was roughly a thousand meters wide from the outside, but the city it contained was the size of a Sector. However, that was the least of Cain's worries, as this place was nothing short of nightmarish and could break the sanity of a weak mind.
The buildings were colossal, towering structures that seemed to defy the laws of physics. They twisted and bent at impossible angles, with strange walls covered in eyes that constantly moved, surveying the surroundings. Strange dark runes carved in necrotic and disgusting blood, with maggots rising from them, were present in the walls.
There were even upside-down buildings that rose from the ceiling of the dimension, making the entire place a giant maze.
Strange, luminescent fungi and plants grew around the walls, casting an eerie glow that illuminated the city with an unnatural light. The air was thick with decay, making Cain feel nauseous.
Everything in this place seemed to test Cain's mind and willpower. It was so strange and bizarre that it affected his mind and sense of order, generating a strange feeling in his heart. He felt from the bottom of his soul that this place was wrong and should not exist. It was as if his entire existence demanded that he destroy the dimension and the nightmarish city in it.
Cain immediately regained focus, and without losing a second, he pushed his power to the limit to continue hiding his existence. This place was extremely dangerous, and he did not dare underestimate its danger.
Trying to figure out the ups and downs in this city was impossible, but Cain could detect powerful energy waves in the distance, most likely the center of this dimension.
'That is where I will find my answers.'
Cain's eyes were sharp as he calmly moved forward, not daring to make contact with the buildings. He used all his power to hide his presence from the eyes, even staying away from the glowing plants and fungus.
Navigating this place was extremely hard, as even Cain's domain over the Law of Space was not much help. The fabric of space in this underwater city was so twisted that it resembled nothing like Aether's primary plane of existence.
