Snake Tongue only felt that this place was ethereal and unfathomably vast, clear and pristine, utterly free of dust. Yet it was also empty, offering nothing to rely on, as though even her consciousness would dissolve within it and vanish completely.
Extreme Domain?
Snake Tongue was well-informed. Even if she lacked direct experience, she made judgments with remarkable speed. More importantly, she had a strange intuitive experience—somehow, she took this void as her foothold and observed in all directions. She quickly "overcame" her initial discomfort, her perspective extending in reverse into the Abyss Zone, the Mental Ocean, and the material world, all of which were currently in chaos.
