God's Eyes

Chapter 179 - Restrictions

Unaware of what would happen the next moment, Jason was dragged through the spatial portal with Artemis, as they appeared within a devastated area, not far from Cyro-City's destroyed walls.

There were many destroyed buildings around them with many areas without the slightest intact constructions, while a dense and compressed mana compound could be seen by everyone′s eyes in the sky, only ten meters above the ground.

With his special mana eyes, Jason could immediately tell that the mana density was extremely high, which terrified him a little bit, as he hadn't seen anything comparable from any kind of beast.

Even the Goblin King′s compressed mana seemed to be an infant in comparison and he concluded that it was because constructing a connection with the other side, required a lot of mana.

This mana connection was called world-bridge by many and Jason liked this name, even though the result was terrifying as the rift in front of him seemed to be at least at the four-star ranking, which meant the other side of the world-bridge had an unblemished beast as it′s average combat prowess, while many beasts would be at the magical rank.

In the end, he thought even a four-star ranking could be devastating for Cyro-City because it was unknown how many beasts could suddenly emerge from the temporary rift if there would even be a single one to begin with.

While Jason could only look at the materializing rift in awe, Shane enveloped all of them in a thick darkness coat that would envelop them in order to cover their whereabouts.

Shane slowly approached the rift, while he and Dalia remained at their current position.

According to his eyes, the whole mana density intensified as the purity increased, while the dot-shaped mana fluctuations tore apart space while increasing in size.

The torn space looked completely different to Shane′s ability, as Jason could see a thick mana stream behind the dot-shaped construction building up slowly, as a landscape came into view.

There was also something else within the infant-state rift, but Jason was unable to perceive was it was.

He could only barely see three different colors, radiating from deep within the rift, a golden somewhat familiar color, a silver, mysterious color, and an eerie and perilous black color.

Somehow, they looked like the purest form of affinities, he noticed within his soul world, but Jason was unsure of this fact, and wouldn't dare to utter nonsense towards his masters, who looked extremely serious.

While Shane inspected the materializing rift, other humans could be seen rushing towards the rift with a terrifying speed, while wings could be seen on their back, or lower bodies of agility-typed beasts.

Scanning them with his mana eyes, Jason could tell that their strength was almost comparable to Till′s as he estimated that their strength might be still at the Grandmagus rank, infinitely close to the Lord rank.

Fortunately, they couldn′t perceive them thanks to Shane′s thick darkness coat which enveloped them completely.

While Shane inspected the materializing rift from a short distance, the Grandmagus's that arrived a few seconds ago, decided to maintain a certain distance while taking out a few machines from their spatial rings in order to test the rift.

More than a minute passed as Shane came back to them, when the Grandmagus ranked humans surrounded the rift with the oddly shaped machines in their hands, they activated.

A weirdly shaped dome was constructed as Jason could visible see the runes within the dome, causing him to wonder what the hell these Grandmagus were doing, as Shane said

"Let′s go back. I′ve inspected the rift wholly and figured out the most important things. It's definitely weird, but on the other side, it might even bring unforeseen treasures...who knows

With this being said, Shane opened a spatial portal, where all of them went through, while Jason couldn't take his gaze from the materializing gaze in front of him.

There was something about it that attracted his attention but Jason wasn't exactly sure what it was, as he stepped through Shane′s spatial portal, only to appear a few dozen kilometers away from the thick mana fluctuations.

Jason was still unable to take his gaze from the mana fluctuations, as Shane′s voice could be heard behind him.

"If you want to know more about the rift, you should at least look at me, while speaking, is that too much to ask demand you?" Shane said, almost lamenting about Jason′s behavior as he turned around without hesitation.

Even if the materializing rift in front of him was bewitching and extreemly interesting, receiving information about it was much more important than just plainly looking at the whole materialization process.

After noticing that, Jason′s whole attention was on him, Shane began to explain everything he comprehended within a short amount of time.

"My previous estimation about the materializing rift is certainly correct, as the fluctuations are comparable to four-star rifts, I've seen often enough before.

But there is something that makes me uncertain about the whole process.

If my comprehension is not completely wrong, Magus-ranked humans or Magical-ranked beings will be unable to venture through the temporary rift, which will inevidently restrict the opportunities for either side by a huge margin.

If neither humans at the Magus rank or Magical-ranked beasts can enter the opposite side, only unblemished-, master- or individuals below these ranks would be able to enter the temporary rift.

Otherwise, it might be problematic for the space tunnel, the rift creates to maintain its stability, which is something beasts instinctively avoid, while we already had our own incidents with such cases.

This would restrict both sides but it could also end up as an opportunity for us because the strongest foe to face on the other side of the four-star temporary rift should be magical ranked beasts that can be avoided through certain detours of high-density areas."

Hearing this, Jason was astonished as he had never heard anything about restrictions from rifts, which caused him to look a little bit confused, which Shane noticed, as he calmly explained.

"Jason, you might not be aware of the importance of restrictions, but humanity probably survived only thanks to them, as an Abyssal-ranked temporary rift appeared within Canir more than one century ago, shocking every single being on the continent due to the portal′s sheer size.

Fortunately, only a few Monarch-ranked beasts were able to squeeze themselves through the rift's restrictions, while humanity was barely able to get the hang of the calamity these individuals caused.

Every rift has its own restrictions due to the accumulated mana it innately has and apparently Cyro-City is extremely lucky with the restrictions preventing any magical ranked beasts to emerge out of the portal, as some rare and terrifying existences might even be able to conceal themselves and venture through the city, without anyone noticing them until it would be too late.

At the beginning of the mana outbreak, temporary rifts were one of the most devastating occurrences that could happen to humanity, and only now, we can roughly understand their rankings and restrictions.

If Cyro-City were to be the center point of an abyss-ranked rift, we would immediately flee without looking back to Astrix ever again, because the dangers wouldn't be worth the possible benefits.

With this four-star rift, however, there might be a chance for some Master-ranked human prodigies to gain many benefits by venturing into the temporary rift, even if its definitely dangerous, which goes without question"

Listening carefully to Shane, Jason′s curiosity about temporary rifts grew, as many ideas flashed in his mind, as he asked.

"Is it suicidal for me to enter the four-star rift too? Or might I even gain a lot from it? What about the period the temporary right will open? Is there a way to figure out how long a temporary rift remains open to venture through?"

Some questions that tormented his mind, blurred out of Jason without him realizing, as he looked at Shane with an expectant gaze, waiting to receive answers
