But.
Elsewhere, Reilo had run into trouble too!
"What is this?"
Reilo flew toward the ceiling he had blasted open with the power of the Fourth-Level Singularity Technique.
An unbelievable sight appeared.
At the edge of the sand, there was actually a mysterious barrier?
It looked like flowing water, translucent in form. When he touched it lightly, it felt like a blob of glue, with resistance growing stronger the farther out he pushed. Even with his Mental Power activated to its limit, all he could sense was endless nothingness. Yet through the hazy translucence, his eyes could just make out bizarre, absurd things.
The dim void was not entirely empty.
As Reilo and the Corpse Puppet watched, a floating creature with a strange mane drifted helplessly as if swept along by a flood, flashing past in the distance.
The remarkable thing was—
Its shape kept changing as it drifted!
First, long metal wires sprouted from its body. Then its form twisted into a jumble of metal parts. In just a few seconds, it changed from a flesh-and-blood cellular creature into a metallic machine bristling with strange spikes. Its shape continued to shift as it vanished into the depths of the illusion.
In another direction—
A creature shaped like a giant tadpole swam by, its black tail swaying.
But as it approached the "spatial barrier," the number of tails kept increasing. In a short time, it became a bizarre spherical creature covered in countless tentacles, then flowed away with the illusion and disappeared from their sight.
A paper-like monster passed by, half its body ablaze.
The flames formed a demon's twisted face, silently roaring. Its body kept expanding, and it flashed past within barely a dozen meters of Reilo and the Corpse Puppet, just in front of the "spatial barrier." By
