My Space-Time System

634  It's time.

The major aim of the training was to get all group members to the Angel realm. This took six and half months to accomplish, and another half a month to get accustomed to their new ability- of course through gruesome fights with themselves and even members of the League.

On the day scheduled for their departure, Blake was called into the throne room by Cassius, he was finally ready for the ritual.

"Are you ready?" Cassius asked with an excited smile plastered on his face.

"Yes I am, but why do you seem so excited?" Blake asked with a smile and a raised brow because this was one of the rare occasions where Cassius let his emotions show.

"As a Deity, I don't get to have much fun. I end up sitting the entire day observing. Now I get to explore the cursed lands of the southern continent and explore what happened there." Cassius replied with a chuckle.

"That makes sense." Blake nodded because he knew if he were in Cassius' position he would grab any chance he got to learn about the things that eluded even the Deities.

"But wait..." Blake just realized something wrong with his statement. "What do you mean by 'what happened' there?"

"That is a story for our journey to the southern continent. For now, let's get this over with." Cassius replied to him.

"If you say so." Blake shrugged but at that time a dark ethereal aura had already enveloped Cassius' right hand.

He brought his right hand to his chest, and right in front of Blake's eyes, his hand phased right through and went into his body.

"There are very few items and abilities in existence that could affect one's soul, especially below the Battle Angel realm. However, above that everything changes." Cassius explained without pausing in his actions.

"At the Battle Angel realm, one possesses limited capabilities of affecting a soul, which only includes protecting and attacking the soul body. As for the Deity realm, we can heal and split a soul body, but not create one."

Cassius finally retracted his hand from his body and out came an ethereal blob that gave Blake a splitting headache when he looked at it, causing him to instantly shut his eyes.

"The soul of a Deity is so profound that even Battle Angels shouldn't cast their gaze on it." Cassius explained Blake's reaction before continuing. "It is also the reason why the separated part of the soul can retain sentience."

Cassius finally rose from his mana crystal throne and walked up to Blake with the shimmering ethereal blob in his hand.

Without being able to control his body, Blake was compelled to go on one knee without daring to open his eyes.

Cassius always suppressed his aura when he was around anyone below the Deity realm to prevent Angels from instantly losing consciousness and Battle Angels from suffocating. Even now he was suppressing the aura of his split soul, but its presence in the real world was an oddity that still came with adverse effects. "It is done, you can stand now." Cassius said causing Blake to doubt his senses but reluctantly open his eyes.

"How?" It was only then that he realized that not only was the oppressive aura of the split soul gone, but the ethereal blob was no longer in Cassius' hand.

"Just like that?" Blake was still in shock as well as confused about what happened.

"Yes." Cassius answered, but Blake realized that he hadn't opened his mouth when he replied.

It was the voice in his head!

"You are wondering why you didn't feel any pain like your first encounter with Valerius?" Cassius' consciousness in his mind asked to which Blake nodded.

"Your first encounter with Valerius was not just a transfer of consciousness but also a transfer of inheritance. The creation of the fire and space pathways in your body was the reason for the pain." Cassius explained.

"What about the vision I had?" Blake couldn't help but ask.

"The vision was just part of his memory left in the split portion of his soul. The aim of that was to give you a false sense of purpose and make you get stronger while taking your mind off his heinous plot to take over your body." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this point, Cassius' original body finally spoke up. "If that is all of your questions, then let's not keep the others waiting.

With all that completed, both of them warped to the top floor of the Palace where the other members of the group were asked to wait.

"It's time for you guys to get going." Immediately after Cassius made the statement, a gigantic aircraft covering their view of the sky appeared.

"What the…." Camilla, Damon and Tessie were stunned by the sheer size of the contraption.

"Isn't that a Helicarrier?" Brian couldn't believe his eyes.

"I saw that in my vision." This was one of the ships he saw during Infinite realm's peak.

The hull of the Helicarrier was forged from a blend of mana-infused metals, giving it a smooth, polished finish that reflected the light with a soft, magical glow. It was covered in intricate patterns of runes and sigils that pulsed with the pink light of Thanium.

"What are you talking about, you have been on it multiple times." Cassius chuckled at Blake's shock.

"Wait…" Blake's eyes widened in shock. "Is that the League's base?!"

"Exactly." Cassius nodded.

"So the League had this all this while, but didn't use it throughout the war?" Brian asked with confusion writing all over his face, but Cassius' silence answered it all.

"At this point, it seems like saving me from Valerius was the hardest part of the war." Blake shook his head in laughter when he thought about how Synder would have reacted if he had known about all of this.

"It's time." Cassius said as a pink light fell from the Helicarrier onto the group, and instantly they were warped into the ship.
