Chapter 1142 Void Dimensions

The void dimension was a chaotic, misty world, dominated by shades of gray and blue, with the space filled with a thick, viscous void energy.

Suddenly, as if thrown into a blender, the two of them were surrounded by void energy forming a massive vortex, with Han Xiao and Ames at the center.

Han Xiao raised his guard, adopting a combat stance. In the next moment, a mental wave suddenly spread out, sweeping over their bodies, and an ancient, solemn voice echoed in their minds.

"Where did these dimensional beings come from, daring to invade my territory?!"

As the voice fell, powerful auras emerged out of thin air in their perception, and rays of light flashed around them. Countless figures appeared from nowhere, stretching as far as the eye could see, surrounding the two of them.

These creatures had bizarre appearances, but all carried the characteristics of void species, and wore specially made battle armor.

Han Xiao glanced around, suddenly feeling a sense of familiarity.

These strange-looking creatures were not at all unfamiliar to him.

Void Lurkers and Chaos Observers acting as scouts, Void Hunters and Void Stargazers patrolling, Void Walkers, Void Disciples and Void Executioners in neat formations, Blades of Mago Mordo, Void Whisperers and Void Witches acting as ranged units, Chaos Arcane Entities… all these were race options he had encountered during his advancements.

At the center of the legion was a behemoth unit, ten gigantic Margo La Void Beasts, their bodies covered in armor, carrying countless void creatures, including three juvenile Void Dragons, ridden by three powerful void beings.

Leading them was a Void Lord, several hundred meters tall, his body seemingly made of solid blue-purple energy, draped in heavy black armor, one hand gripping the reins of his Void Dragon, the other holding a huge Xuan-black long saber, exuding immense power... The Void Lord could change his size, but currently maintained a humanoid form.

This was a Void Legion!

"Looks like we accidentally stumbled into a Void Lord's territory."

Seeing the newcomers, Ames frowned slightly.

She was an old driver of secondary dimensions, and it wasn't her first time encountering such a scene.

The void dimension was a naturally formed secondary dimension, extremely vast in area. The dimensional properties different from the main universe had spawned countless void species. In addition to natural growth, they could also strengthen themselves by devouring each other, leading to a situation of survival of the fittest. High-level void beings carved out territories, formed legions, and waged war against each other.

The Void Lord was one of the top-level void beings. Each Void Lord gathered a powerful army, their goal being to devour other Void Grand Dukes or Lords, not only sustaining their war efforts, but also engaging in construction, utilizing the unique properties of the void dimension to develop special technologies applicable to the void dimension.

Void beings not only killed each other, but were also hostile to outsiders. On the one hand, occasional invaders killed them to collect materials, and on the other hand, they could use void blood to corrupt outsiders to replenish their forces. Therefore, void beings generally did not show mercy when encountering visitors from other dimensions.

"They see us as prey."

Countless undisguised malicious intentions enveloped the two of them. Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and suddenly released the energy fluctuations of a Super-A Grade, sweeping out violently.

Boom!!

The tyrannical aura erupted, causing the surrounding restless void army to momentarily pause.

The leading Void Lord held his long saber horizontally, releasing a mental message of astonishment and uncertainty:

"A Super-A Grade lifeform from the main universe?!"

The reputation of the Super-A Grade also resounded throughout the secondary dimensional worlds.

Han Xiao introduced himself: "I am an ally of the Crimson Empire, leader of the Black Star Army, code-named Black Star."

"Black Star? Never heard of that name."

Information exchange between the main universe and the void dimension was limited. Most void creatures did not care about the news from the main universe, but this Void Lord still knew of the Crimson Empire. The prestige of the three major civilizations spread throughout the secondary dimensional worlds. The higher life forms in the void dimension possessed considerable intelligence, and even Void Lords were unwilling to provoke the three major civilizations.

"Outsider, I am Void Lord Kirkmond, leave my territory immediately." He pointed his long saber, indicating his intention to expel them.

Super-A Grade beings from the main universe were not easy to deal with. Although the void dimension had successfully killed some invading Super-A Grades, those were achievements of the most powerful void warlords at the time, and the casualties were equally heavy. Afterward, they were all defeated and devoured by other Void Lords. Kirkmond was only a mid-level warlord, and he did not want to provoke a conflict with a Super-A Grade from the main universe.

Seeing this, Ames didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble either, and patted Han Xiao's waist: "Let's go, don't get entangled with them."

Han Xiao glanced at the surrounding void army in a defensive stance, and suddenly had an idea. He switched to his void form, and his entire aura changed drastically.

Seeing this, Kirkmond was shocked.

"You are also a void?!"

"Hey, I'm not an alien dimensional being, but one of your own."

After entering the Super-A Grade, Han Xiao had transformed into an exclusive race, but his void bloodline had not disappeared, but had merged with him.

According to his level of evolution, Han Xiao's current void creature level was very high, reaching the level of a Void Envoy, equivalent to a Void Lord.

Kirkmond's attitude immediately changed, showing both apprehension and greed, as well as a hint of flattery.

If he encountered an ordinary Super-A Grade, even killing them would not benefit him, but if it was a void being, he could devour their bloodline and evolve further.

However, this also meant that the difficulty of killing them increased greatly. The void dimension was the home ground of void beings. The higher the level of a void being, the higher the degree of control over void energy. He could thrive here, using the endless void energy to suppress his opponents, but now that the opponent was also a void lifeform, the advantage of the environment no longer existed.

The power system of the void dimension was different from that of the main universe. Void beings had all kinds of talents. Through continuous evolution, they stimulated the abilities of their species, thereby exerting powerful combat power. This was a type that could not be replicated by other species, so they could not be called espers, but only powerful special creatures, and were not included in the five major esper systems.

However, void beings could actively learn the esper systems of the main universe, and the representative figure was well known…

"Do you know Cthulhu?" Kirkmond couldn't help asking.

"I'm quite familiar with him." Han Xiao nodded.

Hearing this, Kirkmond was excited.

Cthulhu was a super celebrity in the void dimension, the most powerful void being recognized by all, who had created a large number of amazing feats here, subduing a large number of Void Lords and Void Grand Dukes, ruling a large area in the center of the void dimension, against whom no one could resist. Although he was generally active in the main universe, his prestige in the void dimension was unmatched.

And now, he had encountered a new Super-A Grade void being who knew Cthulhu. Kirkmond immediately became interested in making acquaintance, after all, he could not get in contact with Cthulhu.

"Black Star, come and be a guest at my place." Kirkmond directly extended an invitation. In the void dimension, there was not so much formality, and people spoke directly.

"Okay, I'll go and take a look." Han Xiao also had the same idea. Since he had encountered this Void Lord, it was a good opportunity to exchange some information. Anyway, the trip also included a sightseeing goal, so he was not afraid of delaying for a while.

Moreover, the void dimension also had good things. The void Grand Duke core that Austin had given him allowed him to purify his bloodline. Although he was already at the peak Super-A Grade, perhaps there were still things that could strengthen his void talent, so it would be good to try his luck.

Speaking of luck, Han Xiao couldn't help but think of the [Favored of the Stars] aura on Ames.

Although he didn't bring Fording, Ames' luck didn't seem to be bad either, so he could hitch a ride.

"This is the road sign, follow me."

Kirkmond shook his finger, sending out a mass of void energy containing coordinate information, into Han Xiao's hand.

In the next moment, the surrounding void army instantly flickered and disappeared - in the void dimension, no creature flew normally, and all had mastered the traditional skill of void traversal.

Seeing this, Ames shook her head helplessly: "You actually exposed your identity as a void being. When Hela and I were training in the secondary dimension, we didn't dare to do this, otherwise we wouldn't be able to return."

"It's all about skill and daring." Han Xiao laughed.

The secondary dimension was still dangerous for normal Super-A Grades, but peak Super-A Grades were not so afraid.

Following the road signs, the two traversed the void all the way, and soon arrived at Kirkmond's base.

This was a magnificent giant city suspended in space, with a crystal texture throughout. The base was translucent, and the bright energy core inside could be seen. The surroundings were surrounded by a thick gray-blue void energy.

In the void dimension, natural matter was scarce. Generally, crystals were extracted from void energy through special technologies. To build such a city, the cost was extremely high.

The giant city was full of bases. Rather than a city, it was more like a large barracks. The two arrived at the main hall in the center of the city, and Kirkmond welcomed them in.

He shrank his body to the same size as Han Xiao, and after sitting down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Black Star, where were you born?"

This was like asking about his background. He thought that Han Xiao was a native void lifeform. Han Xiao did not hide it, and explained that he was a void species that had been transformed later, and had been active in the main universe.

The two of them chatted, exchanging information. Han Xiao introduced the situation in the main universe, and Kirkmond talked about the situation in the void dimension.

In his previous life, players had limited understanding of the secondary dimensions, and only came into contact with them in the late stages of the game. Moreover, many secondary dimensions did not have the habit of recording history, and Han Xiao lacked information about the void dimension in the current era.

After exchanging information, Han Xiao had a general understanding of the current situation in the void dimension, which could be summarized as one superpower with many strong factions.

Cthulhu was overwhelmingly dominant, occupying the central area, but had no intention of unifying the void dimension, nor the ability to do so. The remaining powerful Void Lords continued to emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, carving out territories and killing each other. In addition, there were a large number of chaotic zones, like wild forests, without order, constantly breeding new void creatures, which freely hunted each other.

After chatting for a while, Kirkmond finally asked about Han Xiao's intentions.

"I don't have any specific goals. I just plan to travel around the secondary dimensional world. The first stop is the void dimension, and I happened to meet you." Han Xiao spread out his hands.

Hearing this, Kirkmond thought for a while and said, "Since you have nothing to do, then help me with a favor."

The void dimension did not emphasize formalities. Although it was their first meeting, Kirkmond was not polite.

"What do you want me to help you with?" Han Xiao asked curiously.

"I've always wanted to get rid of Bagdora. He's also a Void Lord, with a territory next to mine. I've fought hundreds of wars with him. If you can help, I can completely eliminate him, devour his core, and take over his legion."

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What reward can you give me?"

"I'll split the void lifeform cores left on the battlefield with you, and I'll find you any special products from the void dimension you want." Kirkmond waved his hand. There were no bargaining skills here, and he directly gave the bottom line price: "Moreover, you'll gain my friendship. If you need help in the main universe, you can open a void passage, and I'll bring my legion to help you fight."

Hearing this, Han Xiao's eyes flickered.

When he evolved into the [Void Transcender], he obtained a talent called [Void Passage], the effect of which was to temporarily open the gate to the void dimension.

He had rarely used this ability because the void creatures he summoned were not always friendly. If he reached an agreement with Kirkmond, he could use this ability to summon a void legion to fight for him.

Cthulhu was the same. He could use his talent to summon his void legion. The nickname "Void Sovereign" came from this, but he rarely used this ability now, because his main body was too strong, and in most cases he didn't need to summon his subordinates.

Although he himself was not a summoner, this talent could achieve the effect of summoning.

Just then, Han Xiao's interface popped up a notification.

[You have triggered the quest [Void Lord's War Employment]!]

[Quest Description: Void Lord Kirkmond has taken a fancy to your combat power and hopes to hire you to fight for him and eliminate his nemesis.]

[Quest Requirements: Defeat the legion of Void Lord Bagdora.]

[Rewards: 120e experience, faction - Kirkmond favorability +3000, character card x1.]

[Additional Reward: Unlock milestone quest - [Void Conqueror].]

[[Void Conqueror]: Milestone completion condition, destroy 8 Void Lord forces (Void creatures of the same level are acceptable), and at least 4 Void Lord factions must have a reputation of Revered (3000 faction favorability). Upon completion, you will receive a reward.]

[Milestone Reward: If you have void-related abilities, the basic effects will increase slightly. You will receive 500~2000 free attribute points as compensation, Legendary Point +1, initial void creature favorability +20, divinity transformation points +1 (this can only be triggered after activating the [Divinity Transformation] specialization).]

Han Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Wow, this reward is pretty good. I can actually get a divinity transformation point. I thought I'd have to wait until I advanced after creating the cosmic treasure to get a new point."

According to this introduction, only Super-A Grades who have reached the level of divinity transformation will trigger this additional point reward. If other people accept this task, they will not see this information.

Han Xiao was overjoyed.

Not only was there a quest, but he could also get a large number of void specialties promised by Kirkmond. For Han Xiao, it was just picking up his old business and acting as a war mercenary.

"Okay, I agree." Han Xiao nodded and smiled, "But don't do it now, I still have some things to do. Let's act after I come back."

He decided to accept this employment, but the focus of this trip was the Holy Light particles. He planned to get them first, finish his business, and then come back to help Kirkmond fight. This was not something that couldn't be discussed. He had a clear sense of priority.

"No problem!" Kirkmond was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Anyway, they had been fighting for so many years, so he was not in a hurry.

On the other side, Ames was not interested in their conversation and was listening to it on the side, taking out a resurrection coin and playing with it in her hand - she also received this kind of gift from Hela.

At this moment, Kirkmond subconsciously glanced at her, suddenly paused, and stared at the resurrection coin.

"Hmm?" Ames raised her eyebrows, closed her five fingers, and grasped the resurrection coin. "What are you looking at?"

"Um, can you show me what's in your hand? I feel a familiar aura." Kirkmond was not polite at all, and his tone was questioning.

Han Xiao's heart moved, and he took out his resurrection coin and asked, "I also have the same thing. Does it also have a familiar aura on it?"

"Yes, but it's very weak. Can you show it to me and let me identify it carefully?" Kirkmond nodded.

Han Xiao thought for a while and threw the resurrection coin to Kirkmond.

Kirkmond's palm deformed, turning into energy and wrapping the resurrection coin. He carefully sensed it for a while and said uncertainly, "I seem to have sensed similar energy in a secondary dimension before..."

Han Xiao's expression changed.

The resurrection coin solidified the effect of [Death Resistance · Resurrection]. According to his inference, this was a new ability developed by Hela, using her delicate esper control to fuse Aurora's life energy with her own power of the dead to form a new energy.

Hela once said that when she established a distance-less life connection with Aurora, the difficulty she encountered came from a special secondary dimension that absorbed most of the energy transmitted between the two, and Hela originally planned to investigate it in person, but she didn't come this time.

So, did I accidentally stumble upon the target Hela wanted to find?

Han Xiao couldn't help turning his head to look at Ames.

It seems that touching you is not bad either...
