Mind Space

"What crime did he commit that led to his detention here?"

Looking at the alien wrapped in silken threads like a cocoon, Roland asked curiously, "To enjoy the treatment that Frieza received after his death suggests that he himself was also a villain, and was likely a major figure who threatened the universe in his lifetime."

Yamoshi looked up at the alien and said, "His name is Liote. He was once the regional overlord of the South Galaxy. He committed an unforgivable crime by stealing the body of a god. Because he violated the rules of the universe, he was suppressed by a coalition of experts from Other World."

"I was one of the people who suppressed him back then. The battle was fierce and had a wide-ranging impact."

Roland looked at the person hanging upside down under the cherry blossom tree in surprise, never expecting that this person had committed such a serious crime.

Normally, if someone only reigns supreme in the universe without venturing into other worlds, then even if they commit numerous crimes, it remains an internal matter for the human realm, and Other World Otherworld won't interfere. Just like Frieza's rampage in the North Galaxy, no matter how much carnage he caused, North Kai could only watch helplessly, at most sighing inwardly, because survival of the fittest is one of the natural laws of the jungle.

Of course, the North Galaxy is under the jurisdiction of North Kai. If he has subordinates capable of fighting Frieza, he can suppress him in advance; otherwise, he can only watch and wait until Frieza's life ends before the Otherworld judges his crimes.

This is the rule governing the universe, and it is not easily changed.

But this Liote was different. Not content with ruling the South Galaxy, he actually wanted to seize the bodies of gods to gain eternal life, which violated a taboo and made the matter extremely serious. At this point, Other World, under the command of the Grand King Kai, had the right to intervene in human affairs and kill him.

Countless ancient heroes exist in the Other World. They are the bulwark protecting the order of the human world. They are only allowed to act when Demon Clan invade or when someone on earth violates cosmic taboos.

Besides, human affairs are naturally handled by the human world itself, and even the Grand King Kai cannot overstep his/her duties.

"It's you again, Yamoshi! If I ever escape from Hell, I'll make sure you're dead!" The alien Liote Leot opened his eyes, glaring fiercely at Yamoshi. When he saw Roland, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, you don't have the strength." Yamoshi completely disregarded Liote's threatening words.

If it were Liote at his peak, Yamoshi might have been somewhat wary, but a mere soul without a physical body couldn't possibly harm him even if he were taken down from the cherry blossom tree. Even if someone possessed unparalleled power in life, they would be subject to the limitations of the universe's rules after death, losing almost all of their power—unless the person was skilled in mental power, in which case they could bring a portion of their power into the Otherworld.

Of course, those whose power exceeds the limits of the universe are an exception. Such masters are at least at the level of God of Destruction or Angel, and after their death, they only have an extra halo.

"Hmph." Liote stared at Yamoshi with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour him whole, his sharp teeth grinding together.

"Senior, did you bring me here just to see him?" Roland asked curiously.

Yamoshi said, "Many people like Liote are imprisoned in Hell. Although they have lost their power, they still possess a lot of valuable knowledge in their minds. When I was in Other World, I learned a mental martial art called 'Mind Space' from the Metamoran, which allows me to fight those souls in the mental space."

"I brought you here to pass on this 'Mind Space' to you, so that you can challenge those renowned powerhouses in Hell."

"Planet Metamor!"

"Mind Space?"

Roland paused for a moment, the first thing that flashed through her mind was "consciousness cultivation" in Earth Martial Arts, but she quickly shook her head, clearly the two were not the same thing.

"What, you've heard of Planet Metamor too?"

Roland nodded and said frankly, "I cultivated on Planet Metamor, and that period of time benefited me greatly."

"Indeed, it is a renowned and wondrous planet," Yamoshi exclaimed.

In fact, Roland had some doubts in his heart, because when he was training on the Planet Metamor, the Metamoran Aodemore said that their research on the spiritual realm was very limited, which was why they recommended that he enter the Spirit Tower for training. However, Yamoshi's words indicated that the Planet Metamor once possessed spiritual martial arts.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If there were no mental skills, then who built the Spirit Tower on Planet Metamor? It couldn't have just appeared out of thin air!

Roland believed that Aodemore was not lying to him, because the Metamoran themselves improved their mental strength by entering the Spirit Tower for training.

It seems that even on Planet Metamor, there have been cases of secret techniques being lost over the long course of history!

"I will now impart the 'Mind Space' to you; feel it carefully."

"OK."

Roland looked serious, ready to listen.

Yamoshi nodded, a smile appearing on his face, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Roland. Roland felt the surrounding space suddenly distort, as if trying to suck him into a strange place, and his mind instinctively resisted.

Yamoshi looked at Roland in surprise and said, "Don't resist, I'm taking you into the world of the mind."

Upon hearing this, Roland released his mental energy, and his consciousness quickly entered a gray-white space, much like the Consciousness Space he and Sephiria practiced their mental cultivation.

"Feel it carefully."

Yamoshi's spirit came to Roland's side, and a huge amount of data emerged. Because it was a spiritual transmission, this knowledge quickly entered Roland's brain.

After doing all this, Yamoshi withdrew from the mental state, then looked at Roland as he entered into meditation, and couldn't help but nod.

After learning about the Mind Space, Roland understood the difference between "Mind Space" and "Consciousness Cultivation." Earth's Consciousness Cultivation requires cooperation between two parties to jointly build a mental space; however, the Mind Space is extremely domineering, directly pulling the other party into its own space, and controlling everything within it. It has a bit of the feeling of the "Psychic Technique" of Planet Yardrat, but it is clearly more magical than Psychic Technique that only affect the mind.

Having previously been exposed to Psychic Technique and consciousness cultivation, and having undergone the tempering of the Spirit Tower, Roland quickly mastered the "Mind Space," a speed that even amazed Yamoshi.

After learning that Roland had practiced in the same way before, he nodded in sudden understanding.

"Try casting 'Mind Space' on Liote," Yamoshi said.

"Um."

Roland nodded, focused her mind on Liote, and released her mental power.

"Damn it, you actually want to experiment on me..." Liote roared in a fit of rage, but before he could finish his sentence, a distorted space pulled his consciousness into another world.

"Uh... where is this?"

When Liote came to his senses, he found himself away from the cherry blossom tree, surrounded by a pale space, with ruins and broken walls stretching for more than a hundred kilometers around.

"The spiritual world?!"

"Welcome to my inner world." Roland's tall figure appeared beside Liote.

Liote suddenly found himself with a body again, but this body could only exert a power of about 1 billion combat power, which was far from his strength at his peak. Moreover, he instinctively discovered that he could no longer use his Body Change ability, which he was so proud of.

"That damn ability again!!" Liote's face immediately turned ugly; Yamoshi had done the same thing to him many times before.
