Vile Rabbit-Chapter 107: what an insidious thing you are! 1
Malavan then commanded the ship to space jump. The space around the ship twisted, then, shing! The ship vanished and reappeared a thousand light-years away in the direction of the realm.
Now the realm was about ten thousand light-years away from them.
He commanded the ship to space jump again,
shing!
Shing!
Shing!
Soon, the ship arrived a thousand light-years before the realm. Now that they were at a good enough distance. Everyone inside the ship gazed at it with wonder, and to be honest, they were somewhat disappointed, for the realm seemed to be nothing spectacular; it was not even a quarter of the size of their realm. The only thing that was a little off was that they couldn't see inside the realm; it was as if there was an invisible force blocking their vision…
"One should not be blinded by the outer appearance of things!"
Malavan's voice rang out, alerting the creatures, and yes, he was right; one should not judge things based on first impressions, for who knows what this seemingly lackluster realm houses.
"We will station here for now while I send out a device to investigate this realm. Only after confirming that there aren't any horrors within will we advance further!" he continued after he walked to a section of the runic wall, placed his palm on it, and commanded,
"Open!"
After which, the wall seamlessly opened up, revealing a hidden compartment. Inside this compartment floated a silver, meter-long runic sphere.
Tap!
He stretched out his right hand and tapped the top of the sphere, and, cli-clin-clink, the sphere twisted and transformed into a small, meter-long silver rabbit, which bounced up and down with eagerness. Malavan gazed at it for a second, then pointed at the realm and said,
"Go!"
Hearing him, the rabbit's eyes flashed with happiness, then its hind legs contracted and, Voosh! It vanished instantly, seamlessly penetrated the ship wall and barrier, turning into an invisible streak moving at the limit of the universe towards the realm.
Malavan's eyes shone as his vision shifted; he was now seeing through the eyes of the rabbit, and a second later, his vision shifted once more. He did not need to see the rabbit's entire journey, which would take about ten years. He command for it to notify him when it reached the realm.
He then turned to his lover and asked in a concerned tone,
"How is the little one?" It had been over two hundred years since his lover was pregnant, and she had shown no signs of giving birth anytime soon. Even though creatures at higher ranks tend to have longer pregnancies compared to those at lower ranks, he had never heard of any hybrid pregnancies taking this long, so he was a little concerned.
"He is doing just fine and I can feel that he will be born any moment now," she answered while rubbing her tummy and smiling. Then she continued,
"And I can tell that he's going to be something special… odds are he is going to be the first-ever child to be born at the spirit rank," her voice filled with expectancy and warmth.
"Oh really!" said Malavan in an excited tone as he placed his right hand on her tummy. After sensing the faint spiritual energy contained within his son, he eyes shone with joy.
"Yes, yes, you're right; at this rate, he will most definitely be at the spirit rank at birth," he replied in a proud tone…. Some time ago he had sensed that the child was radiating energy equivalent to that of a peak core rank, and he thought that was it; he thought that it couldn't get any better than that, but it seems that he was wrong...
Ten years flew by in a flash. The small rabbit had made it to the realm barrier. "Screek!" It sent out an untraceable signal to Malavan, whose eyes flashed after receiving it. After he took direct control of the rabbit, he thought,
'Still nothing!' as he tried to peer inside the realm, but it was still the same blindness, even from this close distance.
Many ideas and thoughts flashed through his mind; to be honest, he was a little hesitant to make contact with this realm, because there was only a few thing that could block his gaze, and those were things at his master's level…
'Instead of putting me and my companions' lives in more potential danger, let's summon Master and let him investigate this realm,' he decided not to risk it and directly contact his master… after all, master, should be able to obliterate anything at his level. After which, he ordered the rabbit to stay put. 'This distance should be close enough,' he thought as he walked to the control sphere and activated the communication ability. Shing!
At that moment, within an ethereal flaming domain, the seated Apexion opened his starry eyes, as he felt a force calling out to him.
'I see,'
he muttered. Then his crown started to pulse, and he commanded,
"Open!"
After which a stellar gate formed before him. At the same time, the blood drop within the ship started to twist and morph into a crimson stellar gate. Apexion then ripped off his left arm,
splat!
and threw it inside the stellar gate before him, which vanished and reappeared before the gate inside the ship.
After that, the arm morphed into a clone of him. The clone then turned and looked into the gate; its gaze locked with his. He took control of it, then reclosed the gates.
Inside the ship, he scanned the surroundings, then turned towards the realm, his eyes effortlessly penetrated the force that was preventing others from seeing inside, and what he saw caused his eyes to narrow.
'A damned one?'
he thought as his gaze continued to scan it, and an instant later, his eyes flashed with understanding and fascination.
'No something else.'
He then took a single step and entered the false ascension realm, then shot towards the realm.
A few moments later, he appeared a few meters before the realm, and just by standing before the realm barrier, he could sense that even though this realm was way smaller than his, it was way older than his; if his realm was a baby, this would be a boy.
The laws that govern this realm were also firmer and more mature than his, meaning its defense was also better, making entry much more difficult compared to his. But there was also a downside, which was the limitation on the number of creatures born with innate abilities, because firm and stable laws mean no collision, and no collision means no law fragments…
He took a deeper look inside the realm. At the singular, giant thousand light year long continent at pulsed with body deaths and he couldn't help but grin slightly.
"Such cruelty, such insidious creativity… I wonder how much benefit you will give me if you join my path,"
he muttered as he gazed at the scene that could only be described as grim and dark… he then stretched his right hand and rest it on the realm barrier.
Shing!
His body started to pulse as he slowly overrode this section of the barrier. 'Let's see, it will take me about a day at this rate,' he thought as he calmly sat down.
…
Meanwhile, inside the realm…
some where inside a broken city that radiated the suffocating stench of rotten flesh and disease.
Bap! Bap! Bap! Bap!
"Hu-huff-gasp-huff, just a little further. Huff. I cannot give up, gasp! Just one more turn and we will make it to the breeding ground, son. Just one more turn and we will be safe, huff-huff, just one more" muttered a broken and bloodied blue creature as he weakly jagged through a bloody and filthy street, towards a giant building that was a few meters away from him. On his back seemed to be the figure of a small child; only half of its head was missing, and its blood flowed down onto the man whose back he was on.
But the man didn't seem to notice this, for his mind was too blurred and chaotic.
Soon he reached the building, but right as he was about to enter,
beeeep! Beeeep!
The sound of an alert rang out. An instant later, his body froze, and his mind started to spiral downwards even further.
'No, no, please no. Just one more step! I clearly did everything I was supposed to. So. Why? Why? Why?!?'
he screamed in his mind before,
splat!
His entire body exploded in a bloody mess that further stained the already bloody streets.
And it wasn't him alone who suffered such a terrible fate, no, for there were millions if billions of creatures, who were in that area and they too didn't make it to breeding grounds on time for what ever reasons.
…
Bap! Bap! Bap!
'I'm almost there. Just dozen more steps and I make it to the breeding grounds. Just a few more steps and I will gain twelve months of safety,' thought a blue female as she sprinted through a dark forest filled with billions of bloodied heads on spikes.
Bap! Bap! Bap!
Suddenly, her body started to radiate joy as she gazed at the clearing a dozen meters before her, and she propelled herself forward faster. Soon she was about three meters away from the clearing when she suddenly fell into a ditch, and right after,
beeep! Beeep!
The sound of death rang out, and her body froze. Then,
splat!
Her head gruesomely detached from her body and then attached to a spike that was not too far from her.
..
Splat! Splat! Splat!
Inside what seemed to be an elaborate bloody maze, a boy no more than ten knelt over what seemed to be the body of a grown man. The boy looked at the body coldly as he repeatedly stabbed it with a knife.
After a while, he stopped, then sprinted in a random direction, but before he could take six steps, a figure appeared before him.
"!"

Then he saw a blur of something shiny moving towards his head at a speed beyond his reaction speed and, splat!
"?"
His vision shifted, and the world started spinning.
'Is. that. my. body?'
…!
