Chapter 538 Attempting to Go Beyond the World

"Should we...just ask this space directly?"

Every "Zhang Qi" is pondering the subversive meaning behind this sentence.

They have always been passive recipients, "pulled" in from their respective worlds by this mysterious space to synchronize and exchange information.

They are passive because they never thought of taking the initiative.

Isn't it a response mechanism in itself that this space gathers new people based on their needs?

“It’s worth a try…”

The boundless exuberance of his thoughts broke the silence first, carrying an irrepressible excitement.

This feeling is like discovering a door that has always been there but has never been noticed.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes brightened a little.

They no longer hesitated, and at the same time, they calmed their chaotic thoughts and settled their consciousness.

Based on past experience, the call to space seems to be related to their deepest desires and predicaments in their subconscious.

So, what would happen if we transformed this subconscious, vague need into a clear, unified, and incredibly strong "active will"?
What do they need?
The answer to this question is crystal clear.

A computer with terrifying computing power capable of analyzing the ultimate cosmic theory, the "Four Symbols Returning to the Void".

Furthermore, this computer also needs a software system capable of understanding the logic of this "technique" that transcends the existing scientific scope of humankind.

It only took a moment for this idea to go from its inception to becoming a consensus.

Dozens of powerful souls from different worlds, though of the same origin, united their willpower into one at this moment.

This will is no longer just simple thought; it has become condensed and heavy, with a clear and unambiguous direction, like an invisible probe piercing the "wall" of this void space.

hum-

A deafening roar, imperceptible to the ear, exploded deep within everyone's soul.

The eternal, unchanging pure white nothingness around us began to twist and vibrate violently and wildly.

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible pulling sensation came.

Everyone's "vision" was stripped from this familiar space of consciousness, as if being pulled by an invisible hand, rapidly rising and soaring outward!
This is a process that cannot be described in words.

Like paper figures living on a two-dimensional canvas, they are "lifted" for the first time, thus perceiving the dimension of "height" that never existed in their cognition.

Everything they were familiar with was rapidly shrinking; the vast, boundless space of consciousness, from this new perspective, was nothing more than an insignificant point of light emitting a hazy white glow.

And they are in a more magnificent and incomprehensible "reality".

There is no up, down, left, or right here; there is no concept of time or space; there is only an extremely deep void.

But this void is not lifeless. In the infinite depths, countless orbs of light, some bright and some dim, some large and some small, flicker. Each orb is like a speck of dust, yet also like a complete universe, moving slowly in a mysterious rhythm.

In the center of this cosmic sea, they saw the "true form" of this space.

It was something that resembled a tree...

It has no physical form and is composed entirely of incomprehensible light and energy. It only takes on the form of a tree because of the limitations of their cognition.

Compared to the surrounding orbs of light, the tree seemed so insignificant, yet it gave them a strange sense of familiarity, as if it were a part of them.

The tree's roots pierced through several orbs of light, as if drawing something from them.

Those roots are the bonds that connect them across different worlds.

So that's the truth behind their connection.

They were not simply pulled into a "room," but rather their souls or consciousness were connected through the roots of this "tree."

They are like different fruits on a tree, exchanging nutrients through a common branch.

This extraordinary sight, which surpassed the limits of human imagination, left all the self-proclaimed knowledgeable "Zhang Qi" speechless.

They were merely using the power of this "tree" to temporarily free their spirits from the constraints of their original world, like someone being pulled up by a rope from the shore, able to briefly peek above the water and see the sky above.

The fact that information and the soul themselves have extremely low "weight" makes it possible for such an incredible thing to happen.

Just as they were awestruck by the sight before them, the "World Tree" seemed to respond to their shared will. A new, slender, fluorescent aerial root slowly emerged from a part of its trunk. Like a living tentacle, it began to explore the surrounding sea of ​​void filled with cosmic spheres.

It swept across a world radiating a blazing red light, and countless fragments of information about explosions, energy, and pure fighting spirit flashed through everyone's minds in an instant.

It approached a world permeated with a desolate atmosphere, where a sense of apocalyptic despair and struggle, along with fleeting glimpses of the laws of mutation and radiation, flashed by.

"Won't doing this... be rejected by the will of the world itself?"

Seeing this, Masaki Keigo asked with some curiosity.

"It must be because our 'size' is too small."

QB's consciousness fluctuations arrived, carrying a unique tone characteristic of the Incubator race.

"Even if a universe has such a restraining force, it is impossible for it to monitor every corner of the world in detail and at all times."

Just as humans cannot perceive the death and regeneration of every cell in their body.

Our connection is negligible compared to the vastness of the universe.

He paused and added:
"Moreover, being able to obtain input from the 'outside' may not necessarily be a bad thing for the universe itself."

Entropy increase is the fate of all universes, and external variables may be the only hope to break heat death...

In his world, do the race called "Incubators" use the immense energy generated when magical girls transform between hope and despair in order to combat the heat death of the universe?
The crowd seemed to understand this point and were no longer content to simply watch from the sidelines.

"Speed ​​it up!"

This idea has once again become a consensus.

If their previous will was a "request," then at this moment, their will is a "drive."

Dozens of powerful spiritual forces, no longer simply a flow of information, transformed into the purest energy, continuously flowing into the newly emerging "tree tendril" that was exploring, through the connection of the root system.

hum!
The fluorescent tentacles, which had been slowly exploring, suddenly shuddered and their speed increased dramatically, as if an engine had been injected with high-energy fuel!

Information from countless worlds flashed through everyone's consciousness like a movie in a blur, its sheer volume enough to crash any supercomputer instantly.

But for them, whose consciousnesses are connected at this moment, this information is instantly divided, processed, categorized, and summarized.

It swept past one incompatible world after another, its speed increasing and its target becoming clearer.

Finally, it stopped.

In front of it was a cosmic sphere radiating a blend of ice-blue and silver-white light.

Just by looking at it from afar, one can feel the massive streams of data surging within it, as if the whole world were a giant, living computer performing ultra-high-intensity calculations.

That's it!

Without needing any words, everyone reached the conclusion.

Having received "fuel" and "instructions," the fluorescent tree tendrils suddenly became incredibly sharp at the tip, like a diamond needle.

It no longer probes, no longer lingers.

Driven by the collective will of dozens of Zhang Qi, the "tree tendril" representing the connection aimed at the ice-blue cosmic sphere and stabbed down fiercely!

The tip of the "tree tendrils" pierced through the "world wall" of that universe.

Follow...connection...established!
Almost simultaneously, the immense force that had "lifted" them up vanished instantly.

The world is spinning.

Everyone's consciousness plummeted like a meteorite falling from a height of ten thousand meters, crashing back into that familiar, pure white void.

The magnificent cosmic spectacle vanished, and the surroundings returned to their timeless silence.

It all seemed like a dream.

But everyone knew clearly that it wasn't a dream.

In the center of where they had originally stood, in that previously empty spot, a strange figure had appeared...
