The Witch Hunter System
Chapter 689 Second Memory

Imperial Capital, Black Mountain

Vaan continued to immerse himself in comprehending the Law of Space after making thorough arrangements for the dragons.

Although he had already reaped huge benefits from the Black Mountain and advanced his law comprehension by leaps and bounds, he knew the Black Mountain still had more to offer.

He had not hit that very limit of its laws.

Moreover, he would be a fool if he didn't take advantage of every second and chance he had to advance his comprehension of the Law of Space when it had already become his strongest ability.

When he had 5% comprehension of the Fire Law, he had already acquired the power of a Peak Demigod. Now that his comprehension of the Spatial Law crossed 9.9%, his spatial powers were already infinitely closer to a Divine Being's.

Once he achieved 10% comprehension of the Spatial Law, his Spatial Authority, in its simplest application, would be on par with the weakest Rank 6 Divine Being.

However, without the soul power to match his law comprehension, there was a severe limit to how often he could use his strongest spatial abilities.

To wield the Spatial Law at the level of a Divine Being with only the soul power of a Peak Demigod was far too efficient and draining.

It was like building a 100-meter-deep fishing pond, but the fishing line only extended to fifty meters : the fishing line would be greatly strained from stretching to reach the bottommost depth.

In other words, the conversion ratio of soul power to law power was incredibly poor.

Nevertheless, such a price was trivial compared to having access to divine power at a lower level.

However, that wasn't the main reason for Vaan striving so hard for such a high level of law comprehension : he was hoping that reaching such a level of law comprehension would allow him to tap into more memories and better understand his past and the secrets of the universe.

At the same time, absorbing the memories of his past life would also increase his comprehension of the laws to a significant degree.

Ding!

<Your comprehension of the Law of Space has reached 10%>

<Your Spatial Authority has reached the threshold of Divine Power>

<A large soul fragment has been discovered inside your sea of consciousness>

<Would you like to absorb the large soul fragment?>

'Yes!' Vaan willed.

Shortly after he gave his answer, a huge amount of information poured into his mind, surprisingly causing him soul-tearing pain.

Evidently, the information contained within this second soul fragment was on a whole different level compared to the first soul fragment.

It was at least tenfold greater!

The burden and pain from absorbing such a large piece of soul fragment caused his saturated soul to compress and expand in order to accommodate more space automatically.

Such a method of increasing his soul power was far more effective than using the suppressive power of the Black Mountain. However, this method was also too forceful, and the future consequences were unclear.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn't have the spare energy to worry over such things as his exhausted mind drifted off into the land of dreams.

Chaos, the 122nd Chaos Cycle Era

In a small corner of the world, at the edge of the vast and boundless Chaos, the boundary between existence and non-

existence, two celestial-like, dashing young men stood side by side in the void of space.

They appeared quite young, but their true age would leave most denizens of Chaos frightened to death should they ever learn of it.

The young man on the left was dressed in black and had the features of a Darkan for the most part, except for his crimson eyes, which were like two bottomless abysses of blood slaughter.

It seemed like this dashing young man had taken so many lives and spilled so much blood that he could drown the boundless heavens and paint Chaos in its color.

On the other hand, the young man on the right was dressed in white and had the features of a Lunaran – a person born with fairy-like fair skin, snow-white hair, and ocean-blue eyes.

In Pangea, Lunarans were people of the moon and believed themselves to be the descendants of the Moon Goddess.

And as a person of the moon, the young man in white possessed a peaceful, soothing aura – a complete contrast to the young man in black, whose aura screamed the tyranny of blood and death.

Despite their seemingly polar opposite traits, they were brothers who shared the same father.

…

In this seemingly desolate and unexplored region of space, the two quietly gazed into the Endless Sea of Nothingness that lay on the other side of the Chaos Barrier, which shielded Chaos from the decay of nihilistic power.

Rumble…!

Soft ripples appeared on the Chaos Barrier from time to time as illusory creatures of unknown origins assaulted it from a region of space that shouldn't have any living beings or existences at all.

Witnessing such a sight, the eyelashes of the man in white fluttered with concern.

The Chaos Barrier was considered the most powerful force in the world as it protected the 122 Chaosverses within it from the threat of extinction.

Creating ripples on such a durable wall was beyond difficult – it was a feat only very few beings could accomplish.

And yet, outside the Chaos Barrier, in a No Man's Land, hundreds of such unknown beings were battering the wall, stirring countless ripples.

"This is the seventh incident in the past three chaos cycles. The intervals between attacks are shortening, and their numbers are increasing. Yet, I haven't learned anything about their origins in this period," the man in black solemnly mentioned before turning to the man in white. "What about you, Big Brother?"

"You're asking me, Little Brother?" The man in white chuckled before shaking his head helplessly.

"If the one feared as Asura, also known for being the Lord of Chaos – one who rules over all and knows all, doesn't know anything, then how could I, this untalented older brother, possibly know something?"

"You sure know how to crack a joke, Big Brother," Asura smiled with amusement.

"Who would dare call you untalented? You are Varuna, Lord of the Boundless Seas and Skies, someone who has surpassed the origin limit and stepped into the same realm as I."

"If you are considered untalented, then there are no talented beings in this world," Asura added with seriousness.
