Void Evolution System

BOOOOOOM!

It didn’t end with a single explosion. Multiple massive blasts rang out from all sides. When the largest explosion rang out from above, cracks appeared in the sky.

p Anda nOve1.cO,m Like a virtual game glitching out, the sky jittered and bugged. Slowly but surely, the sky itself shattered into pieces and disappeared. The image of peace and tranquility that the Shadow Garden held disappeared completely.

When the sky finally stopped functioning, what was revealed to everyone’s eyes was the desolate atmosphere of the Outer Wilds. With the artificial sky gone, the Shadow Garden really did look like an oasis in hell.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions didn’t stop after the sky caved. Large blasts rang out across the surface of the spatial walls isolating Shadow Garden from the Outer Wilds. But just looking at these blasts wasn’t enough for Damien to determine how they were created.

“The Vicious Beasts are back at it again. Sir Damien, please rest here. We can continue our conversation at a later time.” Clarice stood up gracefully and did something similar to a curtsy. Afterwards, she directly left the cabin, taking her instrument and flying into the air.

Damien watched her go in silence. His attention was currently elsewhere. Turning his attention to the spatial walls, his figure flashed away, appearing on their periphery.

‘This is…’ His thoughts moved slowly. Before, when he was touring the organization, he didn’t see any signs of these spatial walls, nor did he perceive them. It was only due to the strange quality of the surrounding space that he could determine it was isolated.

But now, these spatial walls were brought into reality by the explosions going on. How could Damien not be attracted to it?

After training in the chaotic space on the journey to Niflheim, Damien slowly began to understand what “Dimensional Magic” actually meant. His uses of it until this point had been far too superficial.

But at the same time, he was missing a single thing that would allow him to bring out the full potential of his comprehension ability.

The power of Laws.

When one entered 4th class, the most qualitative change one would undergo was in their mana. With the universe acknowledging one’s qualifications and allowing one to manipulate its foundational elements, it wasn’t something as simple as a mere power or purity boost.

The mana in one’s body would become an existence of a higher level. With this kind of mana along with the ability to deal with space on a much deeper level, Damien might finally be able to use Dimensional Magic as true Dimensional Magic.

His thoughts followed this path as he gazed at the spatial wall. An application like it was something even he could do, and it could only be considered a basic prerequisite to using Dimensional Magic.

“Superimposing.” This was the concept he focused on.

Damien flashed outside the boundaries of the Shadow Garden, appearing in the midst of the chaotic Outer Wilds. Just a few kilometers away, he could see massive beasts lining the horizon.

BOOOOM!

A beast opened its mouth and shot a large ball of black fire into the spatial wall above Damien’s head. The fire spread rapidly, swallowing Damien’s figure whole.

‘Hm? This fire can corrode mana. Is this the product of these beasts evolving in the Outer Wilds?’

Damien revolved his Void Essence and purged the corroding flames in his body. As he thought about it more, this was a natural effect.

His body turned into a blur and appeared among the crowd of beasts. An invisible ripple spread in all directions, causing space to shatter into countless pieces.

The Mirror Domain had been activated. With the limited intelligence of these beasts, the disorienting effect of the domain alone was enough to drive them mad. Once they began to stampede and ran into the numerous spatial tears littering the air, they would simply kill themselves.

Damien watched this happen passively. Although these beasts gained a corrosion attribute, their minds weren’t able to survive their evolution. After all, they evolved in an environment destroyed by Nox mana.

They did their best to adapt, but adaptation was never an option. Nox mana in particular was a breed of mana created so that no life could survive its advent.

In essence, these beasts were like puppets. Their strength was superficial, their minds were hardly there, and they spent their lives wandering and randomly attacking anything they saw.

Damien clicked his tongue. Feeling the experience from all the beasts he killed rushing into his body, he suddenly had an idea.

‘Ah!’

Void Essence revolved rapidly, capturing the formless and traceless essence known as experience without letting it merge into his body. While he did so, he sent a part of his consciousness into the Sanctuary and pulled out a few people.

Little Xue’er, Elitra, Feng Qing’er, and Lunaria Snow. The people in the Sanctuary that he had true relationships with.

Although he also thought to call a few other people, he realized that what he was currently doing wouldn’t benefit them, so he left them alone.

Instead, he focused on the four girls in front of him. “Alright! You’re going to feel something entering your bodies, but don’t resist!”

Damien cringed at his own words. Considering Feng Qing’er’s usual behavior, she would’ve teased him for it, but she didn’t say anything.

She was too shocked by the scene around her at the moment. Beasts lining the entire horizon, stampeding and killing each other within Damien’s strange domain. It wasn’t a scene one could simply adapt to.

But Damien didn’t give them any time to adapt. They didn’t need to, after all.

He gave them a few more warnings, making sure everyone was paying attention. Surprisingly, little Xue’er was the one who adapted the fastest.

Regardless, once they were all on the same page, Damien moved his Void Essence. The entrapped formless essence within was dispersed and evenly spread among the 4 girls. Once it entered their bodies, it merged into their very being, completely assimilating without any problems.

“Ah!”

Lunaria was the first to cry out. Feeling as if she grew stronger, she took an off-handed look at her own status, and when she did…

“I’ve already gained 3 levels?!”

Hearing her exclamation, Feng Qing’er and Elitra checked their statuses as well, seeing similar results. As for little Xue’er, she didn’t care about any of that.

Her body turned into a miniature comet, rushing into Damien’s embrace and wrapping around his torso like a koala.

Damien smiled wryly and patted her on the head. For the other three, he simply brought them to increase their strength so they could be of use in the future, but it was different for Xue’er.

Damien didn’t think Xue’er would ever meet a day where she’d have to use her strength for something gruesome. He didn’t want that day to come.

But if that day truly did come…he at least wanted her to be prepared to save herself.

Nevertheless, those present were ignorant to his thoughts. Seeing their excitement, Damien continued to direct his experience into their bodies to power-level them.

A wide grin spread on his lips. As expected, things went smoothly.
