The Sword Emperor Transmigrates

Chapter 255

Chapter 255 The impossibility of connecting Nine Hells with the outer dimensions had been mentioned before.

The nine passages that connected the Nine Hells to the Middle Realm were fundamentally different phenomena from the Rifts or Corroded Realms created by Outer Gods. If the schemes of the Outer Gods were invasions, the periodic attacks of the Demoniacs could be seen as jailbreak attempts.

Cut off from the Middle Realm during the God-Slaying War and forcibly separated into its own sub-dimension, the Nine Hells resembled a broken branch. But even if a branch was snapped, its fibers would cling stubbornly unless severed at the joint.

Even the Celestial Realm, which abided by a mutual non-aggression pact, followed a similar structure.

“Of cour

“...Pardon?” Leonard tilted his head in confusion, unsure of what she meant.

Laila chuckled softly and clarified, “You spoke of invoking the Deification of the opposite attribute to restore balance, did you not? I’m asking you to do it here, before me.”

“Do you mean... Your Majesty’s power could influence my Deification?”

“I haven’t tried it before, but I believe it’s possible for you. With the world’s blessing upon you as a candidate for the Divine Throne, my power might triple or quadruple your chances of success.”

Though hesitant, Leonard seated himself cross-legged on the floor, his face a mixture of doubt and determination. Laila, noticing his attempt to focus, raised her eyebrows briefly before relaxing them, careful not to disturb his concentration.

The moment Leonard closed his eyes, his Mindscape stirred violently.

The opposing force to the energy of the Vermilion Bird—one of the Four Symbols that had been affected by Deification—flowed into him, sending a chilling frost through his veins.

Whooooooong—

The Guardian Spirit of the North, the Lunar God of the Northern Heavens, and the Black Tortoise had awakened.
