nKahn floated in the unfathomable and endless expanse of space, surrounded by billions of stars, a transcendent being staring back at him. Despite the entity being thousands of kilometers away, its presence was so overwhelming that it felt like he was gazing up at an immense mountain from afar.

nThere was no face, mouth, or eyes; just a specter-like visage that had floating galaxies and even black holes within. The entire apparition resembled that of a white-garbed humanoid being with a head made of a bluish hue.

nKahn's body was covered in goosebumps, his mind a whirlwind of awe and bewilderment. The ethereal entity, its silhouette comprised of millions of planets, radiated an aura of cosmic authority.

"The time for us to meet has finally come, Hero of Darkness.

nMy name is...

"

nWith a voice that resonated through the fabric of space, it introduced itself…

n

"Raum, the God of Space.

"

nShock!

nThis sudden predicament now discombobulated Kahn's mind.

nBut before he could speak and introduce himself, the God of Space spoke.

n

"So you have the Dimensional Domain divine ability. No wonder you chose to study the Space Law.

nIt is different from the original timeline.

" said Raum.

nShatter!

nCrumble!

nAs soon as the God of Space's voice resounded, Kahn could see hundreds of planets surrounding him shattering and turning into dust.

nAs if this phenomenon wasn't a spectacle to behold… Many of the Suns in the solar system within the god's body ceased to exist while the black holes also shattered like glass.

nThis situation was completely mind-boggling to Kahn as his perception of the world was twisting.

nTo crumble hundreds of planets, snuff out dozens of suns, and shatter numerous black holes with just a few words... Kahn could simply not grasp the God of Space's unimaginable power.

nThe sheer magnitude of Raum's abilities was beyond Kahn's comprehension. He struggled to wrap his mind around the fact that this being could manipulate the very fabric of the universe with a mere thought. The scope of Raum's power made even the most powerful entities Kahn had encountered seem like insignificant specks.

nHowever, Kahn felt like the second part of God's words had more twists to them.

n

"So you're aware of it too, O' God of Space?

" he asked in a respectful tone.

nSomehow, the outer space where sound couldn't usually travel in the vacuum, his words still reached God without a problem.

n

"Time is a spectrum that affects space differently.

nIt's not as linear or continuous as it is from the world you came from.

" declared the God of Space in a benign tone.

n

"Here, it can vary from place to place, planet to planet and the realms that don't follow the same laws of space-time continuum.

nThere are many universes in the multiverse where one's perception of time and space differs based on their perspective, species, and intellect as sentient beings.

nI have seen worlds where the laws of reality have bent to a bizarre degree.

nI have seen beings and races that have transcended even the concept and laws of death itself.

nAnd I myself, am a 6th Dimension being that you call a God.

" stated the God, sharing some of his vast experience with Kahn.

n

"Although I'm not like God of Time… you know why I can sense the shift in the timeline, right?

" he queried in an inspecting tone.

nKahn on the other side, nodded as he responded…

n

"Because space is a constant plane of existence, it remains independent of time,

" Kahn repeated, attempting to solidify the concept in his mind.

n

"Two realms with identical dimensions and occupied space can exist simultaneously in different realities, each with its unique flow of time, yet the space itself remains unaffected.

nSure, it can be alternative versions of each other like a standing mountain compared against a precipice… but the laws of space still operate on their own.

"

"Correct. It doesn't make sense to many.

nBut you are not one of the many.

" replied the God of Space, almost sounding satisfied.

n

"No wonder you achieved the 4th Enlightenment so early. You have much free thinking and don't completely rely on what you know, much less base an entire assumption on the temporary information on hand.

" he spoke.

nWith every word spoken by the God of Space, the destruction of planets and galaxies continued.

nBut Kahn couldn't even dare to mention it or ask unnecessary questions that could irk the god.

n

"You could say I had a good teacher. Without him, I would still be so ignorant.

" said Kahn as he bowed with a thankful expression.

nGod of Space nodded and spoke.

n

"That is the reason why I asked my spokesperson to guide your way to the 4th Enlightenment. I can also see that you have also met the Elder Dragon Saalazaar.

" said Raum, revealing his knowledge of the changed fates in this timeline.

n

"I reckon he already told you how to achieve the 5th Enlightenment.

" he spoke sternly.

nKahn nodded and replied…

n

"That he did. However, the knowledge he parted with me remains elusive since I haven't gained enough experience myself.

nEven the world I created is only at the infant stage. I have a long way to go.

"

nGod of Space's visage with no face, started waving his hands.

n

"I know the irony of me saying this but… we're running out of time.

"

nKahn then asked seriously…

n

"Why did you arrange Miyamoto Sensei to teach me?

nShouldn't your earnest generosity extend to the Hero of Space first?

"

nGod of Space replied sternly…

n

"My level of control and the help I provide my chosen one has limitations ever since I sent him to Vantrea.

nThe same remains for all the other Gods and Goddesses. You know how this works.

" revealed the God of Space.

nKahn nodded in understanding.

nWithout a proper channel like a monastery, a spokesperson who serves directly under a god and has met prerequisite conditions… talking to the Gods was impossible.

nHe was certain that even meeting the God of Space was happening because he must have met certain conditions that allowed this temporary get-together.

nFor that very reason, Kahn still hadn't been able to contact the God of Darkness ever since he entered Vantrea.

"To be honest… I do not care about this war against the Demon God at this point.

nEven if the world is destroyed, I would be left unaffected and will continue to exist for hundreds of billions of years.

nMaybe I'd finally die and get rest after living for such long.

nBut what I do care is how his actions will affect the rest of the existence.

" stated Raum, almost sounding melancholic.

nKahn then asked in a sarcastic tone…

n

"Why would the God of Space who seems to be an amalgamation of millions of planets and who knows how many universes, care about the fate of a single planet?

nIs it because Vantrea is in a way, an existence like a Mother to you?

"

nTo this question, the God of Space let out a sigh, destroying a few more universes within its body.

n

"In a sense, yes. But my intentions and actions aren't dictated solely by that fact.

nI could have let go and not interfered in this war but it's not my existence at the stake… rather the entirety of the multiverse itself.

" he declared.

nKahn was left dumbfounded again after hearing those words.

n

"What do you mean?

" he asked.

n

"You know of the Element of Origin, right?

" asked the God of Space.

nKahn nodded.

nHe had seen the Element of Origin that was the source of all mana, world energy, and different elements of reality that he saw in the Hall of Sentience during his training period under Romulus and Vildred.

nIt was the very thing that helped Kahn increase his Space Law infusion and even allowed him to create the First Form of his Dimensional Domain.

n

"You call this world as Vantrea. But we Gods had another name for this world before any civilization or living beings came to be.

nIt is, was, and always will be the First and the Last. We called it…

"

nGod of Space spoke in a somber tone as he revealed the forgotten name of Vantrea…

n

"Prime Ultimātus.

"
