Chapter 162: Midworld


    ?


    [...which is this Midworld''s prolonged anchor to the Eldertide Archipgo secret realm has weakened the portal''s dimensional barrier enough to break it, allowing the residents of this Midworld to invade our secret realm.]


    ''We can just defend, fight, and you know, I do my magic,'' Aleron grinned as he activated his Monitor Dome at 100% capacity.


    [Gachapi: Well, it''s not going to be easy. Far from it, actually.]


    Aleron realized this to a certain degree immediately because his Monitor Dome''s radar at 100% capacity should be able to cover a 15,000-kilometer radius, which didn''t happen here. ''Only 5000? The effectiveness is reduced to one-third of its original.''


    [Arran''tel: Do we kill those crystal monsters? Their bio-structure is unique.]


    [Yueha: Let''s refrain from wasting energy on them for now. We might encounter those crystal humanoids.]


    [Mei: Skills are weak here as Liang said. Not good.]


    ''What''s this world, Gachapi?'' Aleron asked while he observed the Monitor Dome and shared it with others, expanding their radar to his level as they indeed saw a spot filled with around a million living auras, dotted red on the map.


    ''I got discovered,'' Aleron sensed his Monitor Dome''s radar discovered by another radar. He felt a pressure in his soul as both radars shed and the dots in his map started vanishing as the opponent prevented Monitor Dome''s radar from discovering that area.


    Aleron''s expression turned somber and he told everyone to stand by at the crystal portal so they could retreat anytime.


    ''Zords, transform and get ready forbat.''


    The Zords turned giant and transformed into their Zord forms as well.


    [Gachapi: Master, I''m done inspecting this Midworld. Let me start by telling you what exactly is a Midworld.]


    ''Share it with others. I''ll connect you to our soulwork.''


    [Gachapi: We are currently in a Midworld. A Midworld exists between the Lower Cosmos and Chaosverse, so it''s basically a higher dimensional ne than the lower Cosmos. Its atmospheric power is higher than in lower cosmos, which is why all types of phenomena we release are reduced in all parameters.]


    "It feels like a secret realm than a like Ardentia world," Yueha said.


    The group gathered at the orb portal while looking at Aleron''s radar and listening to Gachapi. [Gachapi: Midworld is a next-level version of the secret realm. When a secret realm, or in other words, a pocket dimension, is a closed system like a but its dimensions are unique instead of spherical. This one has the dimensions of a because this Midworld has an owner who shaped it for better development for its inhabitants.]


    "Sounds fantastic," Nerathi said with a thrilled glint in her eyes. "From one secret realm to another of higher level that has a whiff of extraordinary riches... Wow, is this a newbie surprise for me or your regr adventure?]


    "Master, I hope to apany you more from now on, if you would agree to this humble request," Arran''tel said as he took down his hat from his head towards his chest while


    bowing.


    Aleron heartilyughed and said, "If we are going on new adventures, we are all going together for sure."


    [Gachapi: This adventure is going to be cut short for now.]


    Gachapi speedily continued with an urgent tone with slight worry


    [Gachapi: There are two conditions for a secret realm of lower cosmos to be a Midworld, a world existing at half a higher ne of existence. First is to increase the secret realm''s energy system''s capacity and second is to increase its Entropy level. This can only be done after someone refines a secret realm''s core and bes its owner so they can evolve it bybining it with another secret realm''s core.]


    Everyone was surprised.


    Nerathi eximed in surprise, "Secret realm mixing? Damn."


    "Now, this sounds exciting to me," Aleron grinned.


    [Gachapi: This Midworld''s Entropy level is 8.8E, which means it has devoured at least 8 secret realms like our Eldertide Archipgo. 10E to 100E is basically the average Entropy in different areas of the upper cosmos while Chaosverse has an Entropy level of exactly 100.]


    Just as Gachapi finished, everyone suddenly felt a powerful aura pping towards them as all of them were physically pushed back just by the outburst of that aura!


    Their danger bells rmed rang crazily, including Aleron!


    [Gachapi: Yep. Time to dip, quick!]


    Gachapi didn''t have to tell this because their first reaction against this aura was nothing other than retreat, but of course, Aleron had other ns too and he fully redirected his radar and focused on the source of that aura before retreating.


    What Aleron saw was a three-meter-tall crystal humanoid with a sleek humanoid crystal appearance with decoration-like crystal additions on arms, shoulders, and a spikey crown above its head.


    Its body crystals changed their color dreamly and subtly, appearing different each second, with different patterns and crystal designs.


    [Gachapi: That''s a death right there.]


    Yueha, Mei, Nerathi, and even Arran''tel sweated a bucket in that short second after that dreadful aura hit them.


    "That was indeed death," Arran''tel''s eyes slightly trembled. "That aura''s dreadfulness matched that of an entity a cult tried to summon in my previous world, though they ultimately resulted in the destructure of half of the even though its presence only descended for a few seconds."


    "What is it, Gachapi?" Aleron asked with intense curiosity bursting in his eyes. ''It felt so powerful! My Magilore, my Monitor Dome were snuffed like as if that monster blew off a


    candle.''


    [Gachapi: You can say that it was a powerhouse from the upper cosmos, a bonafide one that''s one rank above Acension-rank-Paragon-rank but the difference between Ascension and Paragon rank lifeforms is that of day and night.]


    Gachapi continued, tone grave with urgency.


    [Gachapi: This is one powerful Midworld with sufficient force to destroy our Eldertide Archipgo in seconds. We have to do something because this orb''s dimensionalyer that''s blocking the entry of this Midworld''s residents isn''t going tost long.]


    [Gachapi: This usually doesn''t happen, but this secret realm was anchored to that Midworld for who knows how long, which also exins why this secret realm has such abundant resources and high energy capacity.]


    "Is it possible that this secret realm would eventually be a Midworld if it continued to remain anchored with this Midworld via this orb?" Aleron wondered.


    [Gachapi: That was likely going to happen, but this cosmicyer that prevents life from living higher ne of existence from entering secret realms of the lower cosmos is weakened.] [Gachapi: This is pretty much this Midworld''s work. When its portal appeared, someone sent this strange orb here that passively heightened the Entropy of Eldertide Archipgo and its energy capacity, thus weakening the dimensionalyer with prolonged connection and


    encroachment.]


    "What do we do then?" Aleron frowned. "We can''t let theme here."


    [Gachapi: There''s only one way and we likely have no other choice but to follow this one way


    if they manage to breach right now.]


    Everyone''s eyes were on the semi-crystalized orb and their pupils shrank simultaneously as they saw that three-meter-tall humanoid crystal being with ten others behind him!


    "Tsk, those humans escaped. I really want to fight with them, sigh."


    "Elder, can we break thisyer this time? It''s cracked for the first time...like finally, so we


    might seed soon."
