Webnovels never lied. A system really was standard equipment for every transmigrator!!!
For Carl, the appearance of a cheat was like a ray of dawn in the darkness.
His heavy mood instantly became exhilarated.
But after he carefully read every word on the light screen,
his emotions became as complicated as riding a roller coaster!
Because his exclusive dimension was called [Warp]!
And even worse, it was from the era of "Warhammer 40,000"...
Although Carl had been a bona fide "armchair Warhammer brat" in his "previous life,"
he had still learned a fair amount about [Warhammer 40,000] and the [Warp] through video creators on short-video platforms and sites like Bilibili.
Especially those four omnipresent "conceptual evil gods" within it, who sought to corrupt every intelligent life-form in the universe—[Khorne], [Tzeentch], [Nurgle], and [Slaanesh]!!
Every one of them was a ruthless figure who gave the False Emperor... ahem, who gave The Emperor an enormous headache.
System, are you sure you gave me a proper dimension, rather than the lair of some evil gods?
Or do you think I'm better suited to be the leader of evil gods?
And what the hell does abandoning my physical body mean...?
Could it be that once I became a Dimensional Demon, I could no longer keep my physical body?
Carl fired off a string of questions in his mind.
[That is correct. After abandoning his physical body, the host will merge with the Warp Dimension and become the absolute ruler of that dimensional space. As long as the Warp Dimension is not destroyed, the host will be immortal and indestructible!!!] [Additionally, the host may collect [Prestige Points] to increase the scale and strength of his exclusive dimension!!!] [Current Prestige Points: 0] [Current Dimension Scale: 7.42 cubic decimeters (0.00742 cubic meters)] [Current Dimension Strength: Level 1 (0/10000), Newborn Dimension] [Helpful Tip 1: The current Warp Dimension is protected by Chaos Mist. Its location will neither be exposed voluntarily nor suffer invasion from other dimensions. However, after three months, the strength of the Chaos Mist will gradually begin to weaken. If the host cannot raise the dimension's strength in time, the Warp Dimension will then be fully exposed to the scrutiny of other powerful Dimensional Demons!] [Helpful Tip 2: When Dimension Strength reaches Level 3 or above (Level 3 not included), the Concealment attribute will automatically activate, avoiding the perception and searches of other Dimensional Demons!] [Helpful Tip 3: 91 days, 23 hours, and 59 seconds remain until the dimension is exposed]
???
7.42 cubic decimeters?
Wouldn't that make it only the size of a basketball?
System, are you sure this little thing is [Warp], rather than some [Pocket Dimension]?!!
Carl frowned deeply and muttered inwardly, "Judging from the tips, whether or not I abandon my physical body now, if I can't raise [Dimension Strength] above Lv. 3 within the next three months,
then the [Warp Dimension] will be exposed to the scrutiny of other Dimensional Demons, leading to invasion and devouring!"
One had to know,
there were already many demons in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe] that enjoyed devouring other weaker dimensions.
For example, the famous Hell Lord Mephisto,
the Eyeball Demon Shuma-Gorath,
the Crimson Lord Cyttorak,
and the Trinity Vishanti—Agamotto, Oshtur, and Hoggoth...
And that was not even counting the [Marvel Comics Universe], where there would be too many to imagine!!!
Still unwilling to give up, Carl hurriedly checked how many [Prestige Points] were needed to raise [Dimension Strength] above Lv. 3.
As a result, he nearly lost control of his expression!
Because every increase in level required ten times as many [Prestige Points].
In other words, raising [Dimension Strength] above Level 3 required at least 1.11 million [Prestige Points]...
Suppressing the urge to flip a table, Carl continued asking inwardly,
"System, do you have a [Newbie Gift Pack], a [System Store], [System Chests], or something like a [Lottery Wheel]?"
[No!!!]
Carl: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
Damn system, well played!
Carl had originally found the concept of a Dimensional Demon vague and unfamiliar.
Now, in his eyes, it was not even as appealing as the power of money.
Did I awaken a fake system?!!
Still, there was one thing worth being glad about.
The appearance of [Warp] had at least extended Carl's minimum survival time from one day to three months.
That counted as a blessing amid misfortune!
After giving it careful thought,
Carl decided to treat [Warp] as his final escape route for the time being.
Blindly abandoning his physical body now also carried considerable risks.
Besides, he still had one day left. What if the situation took a turn for the better?
As an excellent salesperson who occasionally topped the sales charts in his district,
Carl was far more composed than most people.
The more important the choice before him,
the more cautious he became.
That allowed him to choose the outcome most beneficial to himself.
"No!!!"
Carl gave his answer with great resolve.
But to his surprise, the words on the light screen began changing again.
[Does the host wish to visit his exclusive Warp Dimension as a visitor???]
[Helpful Tip: While visiting as a visitor, the host will enter the Warp Dimension in the special form of a "consciousness body."
However, he will be unable to use the omniscient and omnipotent power and will only possess the Lord of Dimensions' "Authority of Destruction."
He may freely erase all existences within the dimensional space, and the host's "consciousness body" will be immortal and indestructible within his exclusive dimension!!!]
"Damn, I can actually do that?"
Carl's heartbeat could not help speeding up.
Could this be the turning point?
Without the slightest hesitation, he chose yes.
Boom...!!!
In an instant,
Carl's consciousness crossed countless light-years, shattered the barrier between reality and illusion, and entered a special dimensional space formed entirely from pure [Psionic Power].
Even though Carl had come here as a visitor, he could still clearly sense that he and this special energy space were tightly bound together in some indescribable way.
The relationship between them was actually easy to describe.
They would prosper together and suffer together!!!
And this special energy space was the true dwelling place of the Chaos gods and countless demon armies in [Warhammer 40,000].
It was a strange and twisted parallel dimension that overlaid the real universe!
Here...
all physical laws of the real universe completely failed.
Even the concepts of time and space ceased to exist.
Meanwhile, the emotions produced by all intelligent beings in the real world, along with the projections of their thought energy, would gradually solidify within this treacherous dimensional space like freshly lit candles!!
Simply put,
any emotional fluctuation produced by all intelligent beings in the real world,
whether positive...
or extremely negative...
would create corresponding ripples and projections within [Warp].
Over time,
they would eventually gather into portions of Psionic Power for Carl to harvest!
Of course...
that was only if Carl abandoned his physical body and took control of [Warp] as the omniscient and omnipotent [Lord of Dimensions]!!
What surprised Carl, however, was that
the [Warp Dimension] before him seemed vastly different from the "lair of evil gods" in the [Warhammer 40,000] he "knew" from his memories, which had developed and evolved over tens of thousands of years.
There were neither powerful Four Chaos Gods nor ugly, powerful demon armies here!
There were only faint "sparks" scattered across the "sky," gradually lighting up.
The entire dimension resembled a newborn infant—young, pure, and weak!
And...
this dimension was only the size of a basketball!
When Carl had just passed through the dimension's barrier, he had clearly felt his [consciousness body] being compressed with extreme force.
Good thing I had not rashly abandoned my physical body!
Otherwise, I'd eventually suffocate myself into depression in this tiny space!
"Looks like I still have to rely on myself!"
Carl shook his head helplessly. This time, he completely gave up on fantasies.
In his view, this newborn [Warp] was clearly of no use in his current predicament.
That [Warp] with The Four Peddlers and the big golden guy seemed more capable of offering him greater help and more options!
But it was too late to say anything now.
Carl immediately composed himself and steadied his disappointed mood, unwilling to dwell on it any longer.
After all, tomorrow's death experiment was the most urgent crisis that needed solving.
Whether he could survive that experiment would directly determine his next choice in life.
Would he continue being human? (√)
Or would he "ascend into godhood"? (×)
Everything depended on this!
Thus, Carl withdrew his [consciousness body] from the [Warp Dimension].
He returned to the real world.
However...
shortly after he left,
visible ripples suddenly spread through the space that had originally been as still as a lake.
Then, four trembling, blurry shadows slowly emerged.
They first stood still and watched in the direction Carl had departed for a moment.
After confirming that the terrifying existence carrying an aura of destruction had left,
they could not wait to transform into ravenous vortices like abysses and begin constantly devouring and expanding within this newborn energy space.
However, the four of them did not seem to belong to the same faction.
Because they often fought and competed fiercely with one another, never passing up any chance to devour each other.
What was even stranger was that
one tranquil area alone seemed to be their forbidden zone. No one dared step even half a pace into it!
At this moment,
there.
A pale, icy light was slowly rising...
