Transmission Rules

"Ah..."

Linsey sighed and immediately opened the map.

The good news was that this sky island was completely empty, with no sign of any enemies. The bad news was the same—apart from them and the two demi-human captives, there was not a single living creature to be found here.

A question suddenly occurred to Linsey:

"When space becomes chaotic, the lifeforms on one sky island are transmitted to another. But what if it is a very large island with many people on it, and it just happens to be thrown onto a small sky island...?"

The moment Linsey voiced his question, Arona beside him explained:

"Lord Linsey, this has happened before."

"People that a small sky island cannot accommodate are actually distributed among nearby sky islands, rather than all being piled onto a single island."

Linsey pointed toward the distant sky again.

"That is how the rules work on an island, but what if someone happens to be standing on a Sky Bridge when the transmission occurs?"

At this, Arona's tone became somewhat somber:

"According to the information we collected, no one knows the whereabouts of those who were on Sky Bridges during transmission."

"..."

If another transmission was imminent, it was best to stay away from Sky Bridges.

Linsey committed this information to memory, then quickly realized another problem.

The interval before this transmission had also been far shorter than the last—less than an hour had passed!

Based on the information Arona had provided earlier...

"The farther one is from the center of the battlefield, the more unstable space becomes, and the more frequent the transmissions become. At the same time, because spatial transmission tends toward stability, the closer one is to the outer edge, the more likely one is to be thrown toward the area near the center
