Chapter 56: Deception and Limit

Within the Celestial Plane where multiple higher beings reside.

As of the moment, Kurohana was zooming her way towards Familia's plane in order to silence Familia on the whereabouts and purpose of her world before she spreads it to other gods. Kurohana knew that her reputation as a renowned craftsman would be tarnished if the other gods knew about it.

Whoosh!

With this thought in her mind, she strived to fly faster through the Celestial Plane. At the moment, she was already flying at a speed of 50 light years per second, which is already an extremely fast speed when compared to the other gods, who at the minimum could fly at a speed of 5 light years per second.

Nonetheless, Kurohana knew that her speed was just a joke to the gods that mastered either the laws of wind or the laws of space. With those laws being mastered by the gods, they could traverse the Celestial Plane at a speed of at least 5000 light years per second, even going up to speeds of over 50,000 light years per second!

"Then again, I'm the Goddess of Reincarnation. I don't specialize in this area, but rather specialize in deception and illusions." Kurohana comforted herself with this thought as she continued to fly through the Celestial Plane. As she said this to herself, she then thought that her current appearance was unsightly although many gods have seen this appearance already.

And so, being the Goddess of Reincarnation that allows living beings to live through different vessels, she manipulated her body to become taller as her body became accentuated at the right places, as her face became a bit more mature.

At this moment, if Aurus were to look at Kurohana, he wouldn't feel a vibe of her being some sort of little sister, but rather, a mature woman that had a radiant and perfect beauty, which were like the Roman and Greek goddesses of Aurus' previous life.

"Alright," Kurohana said to herself as her voice, which was light and cheery before, became slightly lower as there was a tinge of seductiveness mixed within. This transformation only happened within the span of a tenth of a second, since Kurohana mastered the law of reincarnation, which had the lesser law of appearance added into it.

After that, she tried to boost her speed once more, but was only able to reach a speed of 55 light years per second. In the end, she couldn't help but sigh and be contented with her current speed, although she knew that every second counted when it comes to these problems.

"Familia, if you spread my secret, you're going to die without a fucking corpse."

...

Within the illusion world named 'Distortion'.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With Aurus activating his [Soul Perception I] skill to look at his surroundings without all of the light refracting his view, for the most part, everything around him seemed normal. He also tried to roll through the village huts that were many sizes bigger than him, and expectedly failed when he did this, unlike just passing through the distortions a while ago.

Of course, after traversing the whole village where he first appeared, he confirmed that there was nothing at all with the village. He then decided to head out of the village since he confirmed that there was nothing weird within the village.

First, he activated his [Gale Hover] spell and headed towards the boundary of the illusion world and tried to escape through this method, only to fail with his expectations not being lowered at all. He knew that this method of escape would only work when the caster of the illusion was not great at hiding the illusion's escape route.

Nonetheless, there was another purpose for this journey, and that was to gauge the size of the illusion world. "From the time it took me to get from where I was to right now, I would say that this illusion world is around 50% bigger than the previous illusion world I entered."

With this, he knew that he was going to take a longer while to escape this world, hence he used a shortcut at this moment of time, just like how he did in the previous illusion world.

"Think that everything around me is undistorted and the light particles that are distorted by the cause will have their trajectories that trace back to the cause seen clearly by me, while not disrupting the clearness of the previous thing I just said," Aurus said to himself as his mindset was changed in an instant. To be honest, Aurus said this to himself in quite a roundabout way, although the [Soul Perception I] skill understood it extremely well.

As he looked at the surroundings around him, a huge influx of information entered his soul and gave him a piercing pain that made him want to howl. Gritting his nonexistent teeth, he couldn't help but say, "I guess there are limits to the 'everything' on what I can see through [Soul Perception I]."

Ding!

While trying to endure the torturous pain brought by his changed view, a notification screen appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision as the pressure the new view gave him was slightly decreased, while the radius of what he could clearly see was increased.

'[Soul Perception I] has leveled up.'

Instantly feeling the effect of the level up, Aurus couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as the aura he exuded a while ago which was filled with pain, was now changed to an aura filled with slight calmness within the pain.

"I shouldn't waste my time gritting my teeth and enduring the pain since the skill levels up anyway," Aurus said to himself as he knew that he could possibly see more once he maxes out [Soul Perception I] and evolves it.

Casting [Gale Hover] once more, he followed the trajectories of the light particles that traced back to the cause of the distortion and was surprised at what he saw when he did find it.

"What the...a glass prism?" Aurus was at a loss for words. Indeed, what was in front of him was a glass prism, but it was no ordinary glass prism. This glass prism was half the size of one of the huts a while ago. An item used by Isaac Newton multiple times to show light, was actually used as a tool to distort reality.

Getting closer to this inexplicably large glass prism, he felt that the rays that were refracted through the glass prism were now enveloping his body, unlike the previous illusion world where the cause of the anomaly within the illusion world gave off the light that allowed him to escape.

A few seconds later, a myriad of colors fully covered Aurus' body as this light gradually became smaller...and smaller until...

Aurus was gone.

...

Within the green jade hall.

Whoosh!

Aurus returned his view back to its passive state, allowing him to see the ever familiar walls of the green jade hall that surrounded him. He couldn't help but look at the [Soul Perception I] skill in a new light. If it wasn't for him discovering the true purpose of this skill, he wouldn't be able to escape the past two illusion worlds that quickly. But if he never had that skill in the first place, he wouldn't even have the ability to see the world in those views, even going so far as to clearing this inheritance to its end.

Of course, after Aurus escaped from the illusion world, the disembodied voice resounded throughout the hall as it announced Aurus' rewards.

"The third world, Distortion, has been escaped from within a time of 29 minutes and 37 seconds. Score grade: A."

"As a reward, the experience needed to level up [Illusion Resistance] has been filled."

Ding!

Not to mention, for every announcement the disembodied voice gave, the notification sound that came from his system would sound off after the announcement as a screen appeared in front of his field of vision.

'[Illusion Resistance] has leveled up.'

'[Soul Perception I] has leveled up.'

'[Illusion Resistance] and [Soul Perception I] have both reached the MAX level.'

'[Illusion Resistance] and [Soul Perception I] have met the necessary requirements and are ready to evolve.'

Of course, he expected [Illusion Resistance] to reach its max level after clearing this illusion world, but he wasn't expecting [Soul Perception I] to reach the max level as well. But he was not angry at all with this outcome, because he knew that he would be relying more on the evolved form of [Soul Perception I] in the future.

With a cheery aura surrounding him, he commanded, "Evolve [Illusion Resistance]!"

"Evolve [Soul Perception I]!"
