Vol. 12 - Ch. 687 - The God of Space and Time's training area
The God of Space and Time, Desperado, offered to provide his own temple for Cecile's magic training. The temple, a massive diamond-shaped structure resembling two light blue pyramids joined at their bases, had its upper portion serving as the research facility of the God of Magic Isiris. Although they had never ventured into the lower part, it was said to belong to Desperado.
(This... this is amazing!)
Allen felt a thrill at the God of Space and Time's proposal.
"That would be a great help! Are you sure it's okay?"
Allen thanked him before Cecile could.
'Oh, not at all. It’s rare for Isiris to be so absorbed in something. I want her to focus on her research. Now then, I’ll go ahead and teleport the two of you.'
(Teleport? Just like that?)
As Allen was pondering the words of the God of Time, the three of them were instantly teleported from Isiris’s research facility.
They found themselves in a vast, boundless space where there was no clear sense of up or down.
In midair, strange wormholes were floating around, and cube-shaped objects hovered in the air.
"Allen!?"
"Oh, we’re floating!"
Though Allen could normally float in the air thanks to the blessings of his summons, he didn’t feel any drain on his Mana this time. Whether through Blessings, Special Skills, or Skills, floating in the air without paying a price, whether in Mana or Spiritual Power, was unheard of.
Typically, one would need a vast amount of Mana to float, move a massive golem, or travel at high speed.
The absence of any Mana consumption was likely due to the power of the God of Space and Time Desperado, who stood beside them.
It was said that this God had erected barriers between the human realm, the divine realm, and the dark realm, preventing free entry from the human realm into the divine realm.
(Is this place responsible for maintaining the barrier between the divine realm and the rest of the worlds?)
Allen, who had been teleported to this unfamiliar place, began to contemplate the power and role of the God of Space and Time.
'There is the entrance to my temple, the [Time-Space Barrier].'
God of Space and Time pointed to a floating stone slab, about 50 meters across, suspended in midair, while talking in a polite voice.
He gently moved Allen and Cecile onto the stone floor below.
Just two meters above their line of sight, several cube-shaped objects were floating in the air.
"It kind of feels like the entrance to a dungeon."
"Yeah, that makes sense, considering he’s responsible for the dungeon’s teleportation system."
The dungeons were managed by the Dungeon Master Digragni, who was said to have been created by the God of Magic Isiris. It was believed that the God of Space and Time Desperado, Isiris’s husband, provided the power for the dungeons’ teleportation and spatial management.
'These teleportation devices lead to various spaces, please select a space that is compatible with ancient magic for your training.'
The floating cube-shaped objects apparently served as portals to different spaces.
"I see. So, what kind of tasks can we complete at the teleportation destinations to earn rewards?"
Allen suddenly adopted a mischievous expression.
'Eh?'
"Huh?"
Both the God of Space and Time and Cecile were momentarily confused by what he was asking.
'I apologize, but the only thing I’m offering is this area'
"My apologies. Perhaps the information didn’t reach you, but I’ve already pulled your Divine Compass from the lottery…"
"You mean Kiel did."
(Gngh…)
Cecile made sure that Kiel's achievements were not belittled.
'...It can't be helped. However, please prioritize refining Isiris's reward.'
"What do you mean by that?"
'When a God bestows Blessings or Divine Artifacts, it means we are taking on a risk.'
(I see, even the staff used to stir a test tube, if destroyed, would affect the God of Magic.)
Allen recalled the God of Fire Freya, who had her Divine Artifact stolen.
