Chapter 653 - New Class Change Session! 3: Void Attribute Magic and it\'s Mysteries

After having changed Classes to Chaos Witch Queen, my Chaos Attribute Magic awakened to a stronger version, while also awakening within me a new type of Magic.

According to the System itself, this Magic is very unique, as it has never, never, been discovered.

Up to this point, where I achieved it, of course.

Its description specified that it was created when both Chaos Attribute Magic and Space Attribute Magic were on the same being… Does this mean that none of the other Chaos Attribute Magic wielders ever managed to learn Space Attribute Magic?

Well, according to what I have heard, it is impossible for people to simply learn new Attributes, everyone is born with certain ones, and even Gods have a hard time learning new Attributes of magic, as their divinities are often what they become stuck with.

And because Space Attribute Magic is incredibly rare, it does not seem impossible that none of the \'few\' Chaos Attribute Magic wielders possessed this Magic.

The reason I can acquire any Attribute of Magic I want, is because of my Uroboros (Devour), having the ability to get the Skills of anything I eat, breaking even things such as magical affinities and making them worthless. Although I am pretty sure that I had a natural affinity with Illusion Attribute.

Anyways, I am currently with my family having breakfast, so I move my consciousness to a True Body Clone that is in the outskirts of the Empire, in the vast and empty grasslands.

I give a slight glance of admiration to the beautiful clear sky and the calming breeze that goes through, as I generate a Domain and enclose myself inside the space.

Now, time to try out these crazy Spells.

The first one is simple, it\'s named Void Beam.

I direct my index fingers to the front and conjure the spell.

Flash!

Suddenly, space itself distorts as a black, the blackest of energies I have ever seen up until this point emerges from within this distortion, forming into a sphere and then flashing into a black-colored beam that hit my domain and broke it without any problem, as if it were mere glass.

Of course, this might be because of my high Magic Stat. However, the natural ability to devour anything it gets hit with is completely negated, or perhaps simply overpowered by the Void Beam.

It was very similar to Chaos Attribute Magic such as Chaos Cannon but held a different ability. Unlike Chaos which seems to bring the constant change and disorder-infliction of anything it hits, Void simply seems to find to \'fill\' in anything that does not have enough void. It also seems to easily be capable of breaking down through Attributes. Even easier than Chaos Attribute Magic.

Of course, I can use both at the same time to create an even crazier effect.

The resulting beam crossed through my domain and broke it entirely, as it flew across the sky and never stopped, the sky suddenly broke. A small orifice was opened and then quickly closed itself.

Yes, that is what happened.

It was capable of breaking down the natural barrier made by dozens of gods to maintain the atmosphere of Vida…I hope they did not notice.

The [Void Barrier] Spell seems to be a barrier made out of this same black substance, which I will simply call Void, that appears every time I will it through my conjurations.

At a touch, it seems to be a harmless substance to me, however, that might be the case for me because I am already an entity within the chaos that possesses no actual order on its fundamental existence.

I create a small Slime Clone and make it attack my Void Barrier with its strongest attack, a Chaos Cannon, which reaches my Void Barrier and begins to splash, exploding, but nothing actually unfolding in its entirety.

Void Barrier seems to be a powerful Spell, if it\'s capable of fending off my Chaos Cannon… though, it might change if an attack charged with a God\'s Divinity clashes against it.

The [Anti-Attribute Void] Spell seems to be a simple one, similar to some of the Chaos Attribute Spells that distort order, it is something like an \'anti-attribute\', breaking down any other attribute that does not put much force over it. I used it to break down the grass below me, the attributes distorted, and the grass simply disintegrated…

However, when I tried to do it on a big scale, it only could do much, it seems to be a Spell that can be good if concentrated in a single target, but over the entire grassland or a plane, its effect is not as strong. Perhaps because the Void tries to bring any attribute back to it, but when there are too many other attributes, the Void is overwhelmed and weakens, disappearing.

The [Soul Binding Void] Spell is a strange and mysterious one, this Spell gives me the ability to bind the souls of anyone weak enough to not resist my attack with my own Soul. No, it is not like the Soul Connection that I have with Lazuli and Blaze, but it is similar to a Curse. Those bound by this Spell have their soul bind with mine. If I die, they die too.

It is a mysterious and rather, a bit useless Spell, I am not planning on dying, to be honest… But if it can be used with Slime Clones and other such things… Well, not like it will work on Gods, as it seems that their Souls are immortal, I would have to use another attack charged with God Devour to damage them.

The [Void Creature Summoning] Spell is rather simple, it summons a creature, or many made entirely out of this Void Substance. They are shapeless, but often resemble humanoid shadows or beasts that walk in many legs… their average strength is almost as good as a Lesser Thunder Dragon, around Rank 11 of the Mortal Realm, after receiving a few hits, they dissipate like smoke, and I can summon up to ten… They are rather unique and might be possible to use them in the conjuration of spells as well, as they can obey simple orders and even conjure Void Spells that I possess.

The [Void Drain] Spell drains Void Substance from anything it hits, making them empty of the void. It seems that everything that exists has a void within, and just like the attributes that maintain the world, the void is also essential. If I drain all the void out of someone, they might die, or suffer a lot until their void fills up again naturally.

By draining the void, my void substance capacity increases, and I do not need to constantly call upon the void by distorting space.

Void Substance Capacity is a term I have just created, any Void Spell needs this Substance to be conjured, and I can amass it above my head like a black-colored cloud, but it takes its time to amass in good quantities.

The [Void Conversion] Spell let me convert other attributes into Void, similarly to Void Drain, I can acc.u.mulate Void Substance through this spell.

The [Void Walk] Spell is an amazing one, it seems to be a combination between Chaos Attribute and Space Attribute in its entirety, as it let me walk through spatial layers as long as I have enough Void Substance, this Spell makes it seem as if I could teleport around, but it\'s not true teleportation… yet.

However, because it needs previously acc.u.mulated Void Substance, it might be better to simply use Space Attribute Magic for now.

And last but not least, the most awaited one… The [Trespassing of Planes] Spell.

This Spell… I am about to try it out right now.

I conjure it with the large, black-colored cloud of Void Substance that I amassed while practicing the spells, as a sudden crack in space happens.

The Spatial Layers reveal to me, and as I keep infusing more Void Substance and Mana into the Spell, the Spatial Layers open up as if they were doors… leading to strange planes where colorful sights fill my mind.

What is… this?

I try to use this True Body Clone to enter these planes, as I use Void Walk, Void Barrier, and other Chaos and Space Attribute Spells to protect me, coupled with my Divine Aura.

I float through space in between the spatial layers and put my head within one of the opened \'doors\' that led to a strange space that I couldn\'t even recognize what truly it was.

Suddenly, my mind shock as I receive System Notifications.

Ding!

[You are entering another Plane!]

[Due to your [Origin] being different than this plane [Origin], all your Stats have decreased by 80%!]

[You are being targeted by the [Primordial Laws] of the plane\'s [Origin]!]

[Your Soul is taking constant damage!],

[Your Soul is taking constant damage!]

[Your Soul is taking constant damage!]

[Your Soul is taking constant damage!]

[Your Soul is taking constant damage!]

[Your Soul is taking constant damage!]

…

Shit.

What is this pain?!

It is as if the entire weight of this world is pressuring my entire Soul!

I am not strong enough to even withstand this… even with my Space Attribute Divine Aura, it\'s useless!

I keep myself afloat through only Uroboros, as I devour myself and at the same time regenerate, but even though this, my soul is being quickly eroded!

Is this what is going to another \'plane\' or \'dimension\'?!

Still, due to my curiosity, I glance once more through this plane, finding a large, enormous \'grassland\' made entirely out of fleshy plants with giant crimson eyes.

An amorphous creature flies through the horizon, its entire body seems unreal to me, almost as if my mind were trying to make any sense of it but was simply failing to do so.

The creature suddenly notices me as its \'maw\' opens, and a charged attack is fired towards me!

I quickly retreat, as I am not sure what kind of damage could an attack from a creature living in a different plane could put over me, escaping and closing the \'door\'.

[You have left the other Plane!]

[All your stats have gone back to normal]

[The damage in your soul is quickly recovering]

I sit with my True Body Clone over the grassland, I feel tired.

This is… bad.

If I one day plan to go to Earth… How would I even do it if I will be pressurized like this?

Do I need to become something greater?

What… what a pain, honestly.

However, there are many positive things though!

Even if incredibly weakened, my soul resisted the pressure and as long as I have Uroboros activated, I think I am capable of resisting a few more hours on it, but my end would be incredibly weakened.

However! I can always eat more souls to regenerate myself too, right? I have to simply amass enormous quantities of Souls into my Inner Realm: Soul World, and it could work as something similar to \'oxygen\' if this could be compared to diving underwater.

Even as weak as I am, I was still capable of entering another \'plane\' or dimension!

However, my stats decreased by eighty percent! That is insane… And also, I need something called \'Origin\' for this world! How can I get that?

It seems that all souls have what is called \'Origin\' where they originally belong to. Perhaps, to travel to another plane of existence, I might need to acquire an Origin for that certain plane I want to go to.

There seem to be always different laws in between \'worlds\', \'dimensions\', or \'planes\'… Is this why Kheseerad was not able to travel to other planes despite having a greater mastery than me?

I guess he might not have experienced what I did, but he seemed to have figured it out a bit, as his memories blossom in my mind telling me all of what he once figured out.

To acquire an Origin of another world… what do I need to do?

Perhaps, the help of a God from that world could help?

Like my soul, which comes from Earth, its origin was clearly different, but now I am in Genesis… Was the System Master the one behind changing my \'Origin\'…? Or maybe… he just gave me another Origin?

If I still retain my Earth Origin, then it might be possible to travel there… but the question now is…

How?

Amongst the countless doors that opened through the spatial layers, which one leads to Earth?

My mind is storming with questions without answers, and there is way too much that needs to be figured out. But for now, I will rest.

I still have many Classes to change to, I can figure things out with the help of my family and the Gods.
