Void, no sun in sight, a darkness deeper than the depths of the universe. No temperature could be felt—neither cold nor heat. That gale-like chaotic flow was not a physical phenomenon; every time it blew past, vitality would weaken by a fraction. The final result would likely be becoming a part of this nothingness.
An ordinary human could last less than a minute in this turbulence; within that minute, their life force would be completely drained. Only a god can use their own power to remain unchanged within the chaos, but it consumes divine power every second. In this place where power cannot be replenished, even a god might fall. Therefore, traveling between worlds is a very dangerous matter; it is best to find the coordinates of a nearby alternate world before setting out. Otherwise...
If one falls into this kind of chaotic flow, it is highly likely they will never see a world they can descend upon until the day they die, swallowed by this void.
Originally, almost no one would choose to travel through such a chaotic space-time tunnel; they would even avoid it from afar. After all, compared to a tunnel filled with turbulence, there are much safer and more stable paths. Not all space-time tunnels are filled with the chaotic flow of time and space.
If possible, Tsukasa wouldn't have wanted to take this path either, but the problem was that this tunnel found her. She didn't have time to react before she was ensnared. Fortunately, her divine power was strong enough; although she was a newly born deity, her accumulated power was comparable to that of a veteran Second-rank God. Thus, even after a considerably long time in this tunnel, she encountered no life-threatening danger.
Furthermore, over that long period, she discovered a significant secret: although these void storms were dangerous, they served as a form of training. Her magic power became even stronger during this time. If the original quality of her magic was 1, its current quality was 3. Although the total value hadn't changed, the power was completely different.
"Was I put in this situation just to make me realize this?" Tsukasa suddenly understood some of the thoughts of the mastermind manipulating everything behind the scenes. However, as she looked at the chaotic void before her, the unease in her heart deepened. "While being able to train my magic is indeed a surprise and a joy, this tunnel has no end in sight, and I haven't seen any other worlds along the way. My magic power won't last much longer."
If the mastermind behind this only wanted to train her, they should have let her out by now. But from the look of things, there seemed to be no such intention. She could only continue moving forward through the tunnel that led to who-knows-where.
Another long period of time passed.
It was so long that Tsukasa's magic power was completely depleted, yet the tunnel ahead still showed no end. It seemed this path was a dead loop; no worlds existed around it, and there probably wasn't an alternate world at the end either. She might very well be trapped in a constantly repeating dead lock. Otherwise, after walking for so long, why was there still no glimmer of hope!
"Damn it..."
With her magic exhausted, Tsukasa had to use her physical body to withstand the attacks of the void storms. Although her current physical strength should allow her to resist for a while, it wouldn't last long. Now she could only pray to find a new world before her body collapsed; otherwise, the consequences were unthinkable.
As for the idea of using the void to train her body—yes, it was indeed effective, but how was such training different from seeking death? This tunnel full of turbulence offered no safety guarantees whatsoever; she didn't even know what world it led to, or if there even was an alternate world at the end. she didn't believe anyone besides herself would be foolish enough to run into such a tunnel for Spartan training; they would have to be insane.
Ten years, then another ten years.
Tsukasa wasn't sure how long she had been walking in this tunnel. At first, she had been keeping track, but later her mind became unclear. She remembered that during the stage when she still had magic, she had walked for at least five decades in this tunnel. After her magic was exhausted, she had walked for at least another three decades. She could no longer recall the specific numbers. Her life force was being swallowed by the void; despite being a god, she had now become incredibly aged—so aged that even her memories were beginning to blur.
And the tunnel ahead still showed no end.
Even so, she refused to admit defeat and continued to walk forward. Or rather, she couldn't think of anything else she could do. Unknowingly, her magic, body, and spirit had all undergone hellish training. This might be the result the mastermind wanted to see. After all, last time Tsukasa had also traveled through such a tunnel to an alternate world and gained a spatial attribute talent within this void of chaotic space-time flow.
While such chaotic space-time tunnels are dangerous, they are also full of opportunities. As long as you can survive here, you will surely gain significant rewards. Even being carried through has an effect, so if one traverses it with their own power, the rewards would be even greater. That mastermind understood these matters very well and was also terrifyingly strong.
At the moment Tsukasa's body and spirit were about to completely collapse, that mysterious power from last time finally emerged from within her. But unlike the protection from before, this time the mysterious power only barely preserved Tsukasa's life, still forcing the nearly dead Tsukasa to push forward against the turbulence. This mysterious power seemed to be saying: "I've got you covered, so feel free to move forward. Regardless of whether you become an idiot or a lunatic, as long as I'm here, you won't die, and you can't stop!"
There was probably no one more demonic than this. Even Tsukasa, whose consciousness was nearly fading into silence, couldn't help but tremble, instinctively resisting this hellish training. This mastermind seemed to have no concept of moderation, acting as if they would train her to death as long as she didn't actually die. This was like some kind of devil instructor from hell!
This hellish time was so long that it caused Tsukasa to refuse to recall it for a long time afterward. As Tsukasa's form completely collapsed until only a shadow of light remained, she finally passed through that long space-time tunnel and arrived in a brand-new universe.
A world so vast it connected countless dimensional worlds, chaotic yet full of order. When she appeared in this world, certain existences above time saw a flaming giant stepping through time and space, carrying an aura of universal destruction that brought many bad things to mind. However, when they investigated closely, they could no longer see the giant's location.
Instead, they saw an interesting little life. Not because of the Creator's will, nor from a dimensional link, but as if by a spontaneous act of the world itself, an egg nurturing a brand-new 'Angel' was born in the void and fell somewhere in the world. Many years later, a member of the Dragon Species was sealed in that place and saw the egg.
