Illusions were impossible.
From the moment He had been born, He had never experienced such a sensation. Therefore, something must have happened—something related to Him, yet beyond even His ability to grasp its cause and effect.
There were not many things like that. Anything involving inevitability had to concern those great figures of the primordial chaos. The only thing He could determine now was that it had happened in the Abyss.
That narrowed the target considerably. There were not many beings in the Abyss capable of such a thing.
After pondering for a while, He summoned His archangel.
Shin knew nothing of the chain of events that followed, and even if he had, there was nothing he could have done. For matters he was temporarily powerless to interfere with, knowing and not knowing made no difference.
In the pirate world, somewhere in an unknown sea. Amid the dense fog, an emerald-green tree soared into the sky. The man seated cross-legged on one of its branches silently opened his eyes.
Uchiha Shin... The instant the consciousness he had split off was annihilated by the Long River of Time, he regained consciousness.
"I was a little careless this time." Rising to his feet, Shin sighed as he looked out over the fog-shrouded sea.
He had gone to the Abyss merely to conduct a preliminary investigation, yet he had unexpectedly encountered one of its strongest beings—the leader of the fallen angels, Lucifer.
It was also because he knew too little about the powerhouses at the pinnacle of the multiverse that he had been caught so unprepared. Who could have known that through such an almost nonexistent connection, the other party could trace it back and descend directly upon him?
Still, this had given Shin valuable experience in dealing with those big shots.
