Lynn's gaze deepened as he steadied his emotions again.
Clutching the painting, he followed that faint sense of resonance, advancing step by step through the turbulence.
Yet something strange still happened.
He walked through the turbulence for a long time, but that sense of resonance never drew any closer.
It was as though the information clearly told him it was within arm's reach, even pointed him in the right direction, yet he simply could not approach it.
He went around in circles.
And when Lynn suddenly sensed something, he found himself back at the coordinates where his System Space had been just before.
"Did something go wrong?"
Lynn frowned.
This was already inside the Surface World, the reverse side of space where endless turbulence converged, the vast Sea of Turbulence through which they performed curvature warps.
Yet that sense of resonance seemed...
Seemed to come from somewhere deeper still...
"Could it be that this Curvature Space still isn't the deepest layer of space? That there's another reverse side behind it?"
Lynn hesitated.
An idea stirred in his mind.
In an instant.
Roaring golden flames engulfed his body, and the yellow sand formed from Firstborn Power surged, transforming into Spatial Laws that swirled around him.
Using the laws as a blade, his eyes blazing, he instantly launched a powerful attack at the spot where he stood.
Boom-
The immense spatial turbulence was blasted away by that terrifying power. The blow even sent violent tremors through the real world.
Yet no distortion of any kind appeared in this region.
Because this was already the inner layer of space.
All those actions they called shattering space, long-distance spatial leaps, curvature travel, and so forth ultimately passed through this very place.
How could it possibly collapse any further?!
But Lynn did not give up.
