Low Dimensional Game

Chapter 48: Swirl

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Zhiyu arrived on the southern sea, looking for traces of Sakun. He knew the whereabouts of the creature using the Scroll of the World, but he did not want to capture it with a dimensional door. He wanted to catch it off guard and see if he could draw it into his dream world.

His boat shimmered and disappeared. He used the dimensional door to teleport himself hundreds of miles and reappeared in another area of the ocean. Lu Zhiyu immediately discovered Sakun. It was currently playing under the ocean, boiling the area of ocean hundreds of meters around himself. A layer of dead fish floated on the water, and Sakun began feasting happily. Water vapor hung over the ocean, covering the world in a layer of mist. The water of the ocean was bubbling. Lu Zhiyu approached Sakun slowly on his boat. Sakun did not notice anything!

Lu Zhiyu found that Sakun was five to six times bigger than the last time he saw the creature. Sakun now looked about half as tall as a full grown person. It was a lot of growth for two years’ time. It looked like Sakun had drawn a lot of Source Form from the zero-degree dimension to fuel its growth. This was another reason why Lu Zhiyu wanted to catch Sakun again. He had originally opened up the zero-degree dimension to Sakun. Now, he needed to get Sakun back. If he was going to open the dimension up again, he would definitely set a limit to how much Source Form one could draw from it.

Sakun seemed to have felt something, it felt Lu Zhiyu’s presence. He turned and saw Lu Zhiyu approaching quickly on the white boat. Sakun was furious and wanted to activate its ability, but it was too late by then.

“Dream world, activate!”

Lu Zhiyu locked in on Sakun. Sakun could immediately feel its world changing. A large pulling force and information was continuously assimilating its consciousness, dragging it into Lu Zhiyu’s dream world.

Sakun resisted with all its might, but it was useless. It had already failed the moment Lu Zhiyu locked in on its consciousness. If it had some sort of warning beforehand, Sakun might have been able to escape from Lu Zhiyu. However, it was caught off guard and couldn’t do anything but enter Lu Zhiyu’s world.

Sakun entered the dream world, turning into a giant squid. It began manically attacking everything in this world. As the small town got destroyed, the dream world collapsed. Sakun’s mind collapsed alongside the dream world. The dream world began to regenerate and rebuild. The world was restored, and parts of Sakun’s mind seemed to have been assimilated into this world. The form of its soul seemed to have changed. Sakun began attacking it once again.

This cycle of destruction and death happened over and over again, until finally the creature’s consciousness was completely assimilated by the dream world. In the end, Sakun’s form was also gradually interfered with Lu Zhiyu’s information, turning it into a middle aged man. It no longer had its chaotic thoughts and its anger. Sakun wandered the streets of the town aimlessly, confused and unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, Sakun saw the smithy by the road. A mysterious force drew him in. He picked up a hammer, turned on the bellows and began to work as any normal blacksmith would. It seemed to have become a puppet, a part of the dream world. It had become a blacksmith whilst being lost within the small village. Its consciousness had become a part of the information within the dream world.

Lu Zhiyu shot up into a sitting position in his boat. He was sweating and panting. What he just did was more dangerous than he had expected. Lu Zhiyu had done battle with Sakun in his dream world. He had almost failed, and Sakun had almost successfully escaped the dream world. If Sakun really had successfully escaped, the dream world would truly have shattered and Lu Zhiyu’s mind would have taken a great hit. But in the end, Sakun was not able to continue to fight, its consciousness assimilated into the dream world. Lu Zhiyu also realized that his own soul had grown more powerful after he had assimilated Sakun’s consciousness. However, it would take several years to completely assimilate Sakun’s consciousness. The dream world would slowly wear away Sakun’s consciousness imprint. Even though it looked like a dangerous and laborious process, but once done, Lu Zhiyu’s mind power would instantly be boosted by at least seven to eight hundred SFU, equivalent to two years of meditation.

Meanwhile, all of the Children of Sea all sensed the loss of Sakun. They felt it through Sakun’s blood in their bodies. They lifted their heads, letting out a chorus of shrieks, as if they had lost something important. The Sakun’s Blood in their bodies had lost its master. They have gained full freedom, truly becoming Children of the Sea. Without Sakun, some sort of restraint was removed from them. Maybe one day one of them could gather enough of Sakun’s deified blood and become the new God of the Sea.

Lu Zhiyu was elated. Triumphing over and completely killing Sakun had showed him exactly how powerful his dream world was. Sakun was relatively weak, basically a simplified version of a mythical creature that Lu Zhiyu had created. It was a mythical creature born by shrinking its body size and reducing the number of deified cells needed. In terms of mind power, it was only about equal to Lu Zhiyu’s.

However, fundamentally, it was still a mythical creature. Even another mythical creature of the same level would have a hard time trying to completely kill it. But Lu Zhiyu had managed to do it despite not being a mythical creature himself!

“It looks like the consciousness and the soul are indeed the only weaknesses of a mythical creature. I’m lucky that I have noticed this early and have become aware of this weakness. Otherwise, I would not be able to survive in the future when someone uses this against me!”

He walked onto the deck and waved his hand. A meter long black squid appeared under the ocean, the surface of its body coated with a metallic glow.

“This is a treasure!”

That was Sakun’s body. Even though it had lost its consciousness, Sakun’s body was still alive, the cells in its body were still alive. Sakun was technically ‘alive’. This was a full body of deified cells owned by a mythical creature. If Lu Zhiyu allowed the body to dissolve into the ocean, it could affect thousands of creatures.

Slowly, the mist over the sea dispersed. The water began to return to its normal temperature and the entire ocean calmed down. Through the thinning mist, Lu Zhiyu saw a shadow. It was long and continuous and looked like a large land mass.

“Didn’t realize I was so close to this place,” Lu Zhiyu said to himself. He approached the land with the boat. This was the first time he had approached this part of the world.

This was a miraculous island called Swirl. It looked like an island, but it was big enough to be called a continent.

Swirl was much smaller than Alen and Yala. It was only about a tenth the size of Alen. The island looked like a circle of land surrounding a large lake. The lake was connected directly into the ocean. It was a very interesting landscape, an uncanny workmanship by the nature. But Lu Zhiyu didn’t have anything to do with it, and it had formed naturally.

“There should be no life sentient creatures here yet, only plants and a large amount of bugs. Even animals are a rare sight here!” Lu Zhiyu observed the island the moment he set foot on it. When he saw the giant saltwater lake in the middle, he felt that it was no different from the ocean—there was no end!
