Chapter 431: Escape
The success of his experiment filled Luo Wen with excitement. He continued to practice relentlessly, increasing the teleportation range from ten meters to a hundred, and eventually a thousand meters.
The objects he teleported also grew larger, starting from small beetles, progressing to large beetles, worker drones, and ultimately even teleporting Sarah Kerrigan’s insect body.
However, Luo Wen discovered a limitation: he could only teleport node units. The inherent nature of node units made them bridges capable of connecting reality and the virtual.
Fortunately, this restriction didn’t trouble him much.
As his proficiency grew, so too did his ability—or rather, he approached the upper limit of his current capabilities. The ceiling itself was fixed, but through practice, Luo Wen got ever closer to it.
That ceiling, however, still constrained him. This limitation was also something that could be overcome. As Luo Wen continued to evolve, so too would his upper limit increase.
The path he had taken seemed to diverge from his original intent. The “wormholes” he now used bore little resemblance to the wormholes he had studied earlier. Yet, this new method was uniquely suited to him and the Swarm, a wormhole concept entirely their own.
To commemorate this breakthrough, Luo Wen named his new skill Fold Crossing.
Despite this achievement, Luo Wen’s current abilities still fell short of his goal to send the “seed” beyond the New Ji Race’s territory. Achieving that was akin to chasing an impossible dream; he needed to further refine and enhance this skill.
