Chapter 223: Ch 223: Awaken
After making up his mind Rein started to concentrate with his all on the space around him. Even without any skills related to space, Rein should be able to sense the spatial laws by doing this. This was not something special to Rein and most true gods were capable of doing this.
But here, that did not happen. No matter how hard he focused, the connection he was able to make with the space was very faint. If Rein lost focus even for a single moment, this faint connection would also be lost. So Rein continued to use all his focus on maintaining and strengthening this connection.
The main reason why sensing the space here was so hard was the turbulent and chaotic nature of the space here. Normally, the space of a world was well defined and for that reason it was easy to follow those definitions to sense the space. But here in the void, the space was not defined at all and was in a state of disorder.
So there were no guidelines to follow in order to make a connection with the space and everything was very random. That was the reason why Rein was having such a hard time.
The other ladies were trying to do the same as they had no other choice. Running around in the endless void was a very bad idea and if someone was unlucky, they might encounter some kind of spatial horror after taking a wrong step. So after making sure that the area where they currently were was somewhat safe, they decided to not go away from here for the time being.
As for the reason why Rein and ladies were sure that this place was safe for the time being, that was because this whole area was inside a natural barrier. This barrier could be disabled by shifting the positions of a few special rocks who were responsible for the barrier so they were not trapped and at the same time this barrier was preventing others from coming inside easily.
Rein did not know if this barrier could also be opened from the outside or not. But even if that was the case, as long as this barrier was here, Rein and his lovers were safe for the time being.
So instead of running around without knowing what type of trouble would suddenly appear, they were trying to sense the space which was the best thing to do at this moment. This would not completely solve their problems but it would at least increase their chance of getting out of this place safe and sound by the huge margin.
...
Just like this one month passed by. In this last month Lan surprised everyone and had managed to make a clear connection with the space of the void. With this connection, she was not able to do anything crazy but at least she was able to absorb some spiritual energy by using this advantage.
So even though this did not solve their problems completely, it did make their lives a lot easier here. The main problem that everyone was having was the fact that there was no supply of spiritual energy here. But now that Lan was able to absorb some spiritual energy from the void, she was able to act as a battery and solved this big big problem.
So the ladies were able to gain some of their spiritual energies back and with that they were able to perform some experiments that they were unable to do before for fear with their extremely limited spiritual energy. As for Rein, he was still busy concentrating on the connection he had with the space.
If Rein wanted, he would also be able to make a connection with this space now just like Lan did. But his main objective for sensing the space was not this but because he wanted to somehow awaken his inherent abilities. So making a slight connection was useless in that regard.
For almost three days now, Rein was able to slightly feel that his Spatial manipulation talent was slowly but surely waking up. He just needed a little bit more time and effort so Rein was unable to focus on anything else for the time being.
After two more days, suddenly something changed inside him and an inherent special ability woke up. But it was not the ability that Rein was trying to awaken. Instead of Spatial manipulation, his Eye of Truth suddenly showed it magnificent in all its glory.
This was actually even better than awakening spatial manipulation. Eye of Truth was his strongest ability in Rein opinion and with it reading the space became much easier. Obviously as the ability was suppressed Rein was unable to use the ability in full it's full potential but still it was proving to be extremely useful.
With his full powered Eye of Truth, Rein would have been able to analyse the void around him and the barrier surrounding his with just a glance. But now with his nerfed Eye of Truth, he needed to investigate everything for a whole day before he was able to properly understand it.
So obviously his abilities were still heavily restricted but even with those restrictions what his ability was able to accomplish was phenomenal. This just proved how insanely broken Rein's inherent abilities actually were.
His lovers were also very surprised as now it looked like this scary void had turned into Rein's personal garden in just a single day. This made all of them very excited as now they might be able to get out of this place sooner.
Even though Rein had investigated the area where they were staying he still needed to see what was outside this barrier to come to a final decision. So he went out of the barrier by creating a small opening in it.
Even one day ago, he would not be able to manipulate this natural barrier so precisely but now that he had managed to analyse the whole barrier perfectly, it was just a piece of cake for him.
After just an hour of going out, Rein immediately returned back inside the barrier. Then he not only perfectly closed the opening, he even strengthened the barrier as much as he could. Only after that he relaxed and looked at the curious ladies with a smile.
He had finally managed to find a way to go back.
