Of course, fourth-dimensional beings could have also left it behind, which seemed more likely to be the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it further proved that fourth-dimensional beings had visited this space region before. The Earth Spirit Worm alone was already sufficient proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Vaan couldn't help but recall Varuna's memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that the Outer Beings were constantly drawn to Chaos despite the vast sea of nothingness between them. Furthermore, they couldn't break the barrier protecting Chaos from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Lord of Chaos hadn't wiped out the subsequent waves of Outer Beings, they would have likely found their way to the vulnerable, youngest chaosverse – his universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, according to Vanitas's memories, they quickly encountered the Outer Beings after entering the Divine Realm's Divine Abyss of Absolute Beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could there have been Outer Beings in the depths of the supermassive black hole known as the Divine Abyss of Absolute Beginning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, the Divine Abyss of Absolute Beginning quickly got Vaan thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the Divine Abyss of Absolute Beginning was, in truth, a special gateway leading not only outside the chaosverse but to the fabled fourth-dimensional world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was hinting that the absolute beginning of the chaosverse could be sourced back to the fourth-dimensional world. In other words, the fourth-dimensional world was responsible for the birth of the chaosverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how a two-dimensional shape drawn on paper wouldn't exist if the pen hadn't entered human hands first, the birth of chaosverses could be the result of some random act in the fourth-dimensional world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the truth, it would be quite terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the birth of the chaosverse was considered a miracle. However, after it was observed to be recurring over a long period, it became accepted as normal as the world's natural laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If people found out this miraculous event was no more than a casual dump from a fourth-dimensional being, they wouldn't know what to think or believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the actual truth of the matter probably wouldn't be something that vulgar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was more likely to be something similar to a bodily function instead of an action dictated by choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a farmer feeding their chickens every morning would also be considered an absolute law to the observing chickens--at least, until the farmer led them to the slaughterhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that sense, Vaan was more inclined to believe the chaosverse was something similar to a drop of blood born from the bone marrow of a much larger fourth-dimensional being; its entire cycle and purpose was to supply oxygen and energy to this complex fourth-dimensional body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought was born from understanding the black holes' endless appetite for starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stars produced a seemingly limitless amount of energy, but everything eventually ended in the depths of black holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would it be used for if all this energy flowed back to the fourth-dimensional world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Vaan had to venture a guess, it was the sustenance supporting the unimaginably big fourth-dimensional being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that case, how would the said fourth-dimensional being view the growing Chaos in its body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos's existence itself defied the world's natural order; it took in every doomed chaosverses, originally bound to disappear at the end of their cycles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that point, Chaos would be no different from growing cancer in the eyes of that fourth-dimensional being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like all cancer, it had to be removed or destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan wasn't sure how much time Chaos had before such a time came. However, he could only hope he was wrong about his whole speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, although it seemed like Vaan had spent a lot of time dwelling on the matter, only a short instant had passed in reality after he discovered the presence of Fourth Dimensional Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Devil Abaddon howled, generating spacequakes throughout the surrounding space region and making it unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have gained one of the Earth Spirit Worm's abilities. Moreover, it was one that worked to Vaan's disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaan couldn't help but wonder if his fourth-dimensional talent had caused the difficulty tribulation to upgrade in the fourth-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>dimensional aspect to match him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, the heavens should go and screw itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn thing isn't making it easy for me,' Vaan narrowed his eyes, locking gaze with Blood Devil Abaddon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither side seemed to move for a moment. But the moment Blood Devil Abaddon did, space itself seemed to have shattered behind him, creating dimensional cracks and rifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While some led to a part of Chaos, others also connected with the endless sea of nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were just like two sides of the same coin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the two were also at odds, like water and fire, and the current chaosverse was the innocent passerby caught in the middle of their conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Vaan couldn't believe how fragile the universe was—seeing how easily the dimensional fractures formed in Blood Devil Abaddon's trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poor universe had certainly been beaten black and blue by the Outer Beings. Calling it a complete mess was probably an understatement; it was most likely on its last legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The substantial damage to the chaosverse had greatly hastened its destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Vaan instantly reacted with his swiftest retreat, expecting a much tougher chase than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it appeared he had overthought the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Devil Abaddon had indeed grown stronger after his ghastly transformation. However, his increased size and strength also came at the cost of speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the crumbling space around him, Blood Devil Abaddon's speed was practically crippled compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without relying on the Spatial Law, Vaan had no difficulty evading the present Blood Devil Abaddon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What seemed like a worse situation at a glance, in fact, turned out to be a blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile suddenly crept on Vaan's face as he utilized the power of fire and wind to evade Blood Devil Abaddon's mindless pursuit for some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His backer had finally arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the far distance of dark space, Hecate swiftly shuttled over after following the traces of battle they left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hecate came within sight, she locked her gaze with Vaan and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Blood Devil Abaddon's ghastly form quickly captured her attention the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is that?\" Hecate uttered with great surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>",1067,"2026-06-06T05:28:14.600Z",1,"novelbin.me","97afdaa1ee26b534fb1138ded8536978342c6da28e4a555efc7c4ee0e8a23a6a","the-witch-hunter-system-chapter-599","the-witch-hunter-system-chapter-598",1230,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-witch-hunter-system-cover.jpg"]
