Chapter 53 The Power of the Rainbow Abyss
The current time is the fourth day since everyone arrived at the Land of Eternity.
And after Princess Cécile came to provide support, the defensive pressure in the entire region was greatly relieved.
Because the combat personnel could change shifts, and not only on the outside, but even on the inside, there were many standby warriors.
Once the defense line was breached, they could specifically fill the gaps.
And what about Elus? She could then devote herself wholeheartedly to the work of “correcting Lonis.”
………
“Um… Elus, can I ask you something?”
“Mm, what is it.”
“What exactly is the power of the Rainbow Abyss? If I accept the power of the Dark Abyss, will my body undergo some mutation?”
“Little Fox asked a very good question. Because this matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface.”
“Wh-what do you mean…”
“Lonis, you should still remember. Magic power comes from blue cells, right? And blue cells are a special kind of cell, which remain in this world even after humans die, like souls that never disappear?”
“Mm, I remember.”
This knowledge is the foundation of modern magic theory, and also a unique “ability” of this epoch.
However…
“Actually, blue cells are just an easier way to understand it. Although they exist, they are not the source of magic power, but the appearance of magic power.”
“The appearance of magic power…”
“Mm, as a metaphor…”
Elus took out a piece of paper from beside her subordinate, and then quickly sketched a self-portrait in lacquer black ink.
“Little idiot, do you know what this is?”
“Th-this isn’t Elus?”
“Mm, this is me, just the paper version of me. Although she has a similar appearance to me, she is just an imprint of me in the two-dimensional world.”
“Ah, ah?”
“Simply put, if I were to enter the two-dimensional world, I would only be able to transform into a paper figure. But because of my existence, this paper figure will generate many impressions, thus making you think of many beautiful things: like being whipped by me, like being kicked by my toes.”
“Wua!”
Although she really wanted to say “What beautiful things are those!”, since Elus was in a good mood now, Lonis decided not to “anger her wife.”
………
“So, what Elus means is… the power of blue cells (magic power) is actually the application of a higher dimensional power, like a paper figure that imprints our world?”
“That’s right, exactly. We humans are undoubtedly three-dimensional beings, but at the same time, we also advance and grow with time, just like a blank piece of paper can float in our room, but a paper figure cannot walk out of the paper.”
“Oh…”
“However? The way blue cells exert their power is very common, a popularized characteristic. While the power of the Rainbow Abyss is more unique, a specialized characteristic.”
“I-I don’t understand!”
“Ai, you’re really stupid! Let me put it another way, if you, little idiot, fully master the power of the Rainbow Abyss, you will have glimpsed a part of the four-dimensional law, in short, you can modify the settings of time, and even reverse cause and effect.”
“Ee… Eee?! Reverse cause and effect!!”
“For example…”
Elus picked up the white paper and drew a pair of fox ears on her avatar.
“W-wife has ears, so cute…”
“Hmph, it’s not for you to flatter me now! What I mean is, I originally didn’t have ears, and usually, paper figures can’t grow ears on their own, but if I use higher dimensional power, I can grow ears.”
“Ee? Then…”
“The fact that I transformed into a little loli, or am now a beautiful girl, is all the same. This is a basic application of the Rainbow Abyss power… Of course, if you collect all seven types of Rainbow Abyss power and master them, it’s not that simple.”
“What Elus means is…”
“If you completely master it, you might be able to directly eliminate the event of the ‘Snow Kingdom’s’ destruction in the river of time. It would be like turning back time to a previous moment and reliving life.”
“!!!”
“This is the Rainbow Abyss power that the world has always dreamed of, little idiot. Do you understand now why Castor is so eager for it?”
………
………
………
After hearing Elus’s narration, Lonis’s heart was shaken and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Although Lonis was a hero herself, had seen big storms, and had obtained the power to move mountains and fill seas… that power was still within the normal sense.
If she were to completely master this kind of power that reverses cause and effect…
Was she still human?
No, definitely not anymore, right?
Although she could still be with everyone, and could still chat and laugh with her companions, the degree of it was equivalent to her past experience of playing two-dimensional games on the computer.
Even though every route was a pure love story, she could repeatedly experience every branch of the story through savescumming, and repeatedly fall in love with different girls.
She even held several positions such as Doctor, Captain, and Traveler…
If that were the case…
………
“Wu!”
“Hmph, it seems that the little idiot has realized the horror of the Rainbow Abyss?”
“It-it’s a bit scary… Ah, right, is the Rainbow Abyss divided into seven parts because it’s too terrifying when combined?”
“That’s one of the reasons, and the more important reason… is also because of fusion.”
“F-fusion?”
“That’s right, fusion.”
As she said this, Elus’s expression slightly softened, and she liquefied her fingertips over Lonis’s arm with a doting expression:
“Little Fox should know that DNA is double-stranded, right? And to cultivate the next generation, most creatures in this world have to contribute their DNA and combine it with another half.”
“Ah… Th-this I know!”
Lonis’s pretty face turned red.
In fact, the essence of human reproduction is the continuation of genes.
Family affection, love, friendship, these are all instinctive reactions that humans produce to preserve their genes… It can also be said that genes are the source of human power, and the “code” that has evolved over hundreds of millions of years.
However…
“The Rainbow Abyss actually has its own genes. If they were to gather together, they would never change and make this world lifeless. Only by separating and undergoing different evolutions can unprecedented possibilities be revealed upon convergence.”
“!!!”
“So, after we defeat the Trickster Demon and successfully complete our revenge, I want to inject my genius genes into you, my little idiot?”
“Ee?”
“If the children born are all as stupid as you, wouldn’t that be terrible?”
Although Elus’s pretty face was slightly flushed,
She still held Lonis’s wrist and said happily.
