GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1487 A Dragon With The Power Of Space.

The dragonling with white, crystalline scales disappeared from his vision as soon as the world resumed. She reappeared to his left. Then she disappeared again and reappeared somewhere else. 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com

That wasn't the end of her disappearing act. She continued to do so, and it appeared to be at random. But Legion-8 wasn't fooled.

His eyes narrowed at the sight. "It is as I expected."

She is not disappearing for show. She is using the power of space to her fullest capabilities. Mana entities shouldn't be able to utilize high laws like that, but she can. She can already warp space to move around. She is also producing a fracture in space each time she reappears. He can sense that much with his domain, even if he doesn't know the capabilities of the law of space.

The domain of lightning that he created around him is being divided cleanly by the fractures in space. Their position does appear to be at random, and it wouldn't be a problem if those fractures weren't shooting towards him.

So she is jumping around him and releasing these deadly attacks to surround him. This is how she defeats her opponents. She surrounds them with deadly spatial fractures that will destroy every defense and cripple the opponent very quickly.

But Legion-8 is not everyone. The previous little tyrant of lightning might have had trouble with this, but not him. He hadn't lied when he claimed to have experienced many lifetimes.

He didn't wait for the space fractures to get close to him, and he didn't rely on his lightning domain to harm her. Instead, he withdrew his domain onto himself. His domain fused with his body and gave him a temporary control over both his body and the elements that a transcendent should have.

He has literally become one with lightning. It elevated his physical body into a lightning-elemental body. Then he also disappeared.

She is not the only one who can achieve speeds that seem like she is teleporting. He, too, can become very fast if he turns himself into a bolt of lightning. He locked onto her with his divine sense and began chasing her.

She became startled by the development. She didn't expect something like this from him because he had never done it before. Fortunately, she has memories of this ability, so she wasn't caught off guard. She spread her domain around her and focused on running while attacking simultaneously.

The two of them began chasing after each other in a blur of motion. She isn't teleporting, despite how it looks. She is only expanding and shrinking space around her to shift her position in the world. It gives her a fast speed, but she is not teleporting, so Legion-8 can chase her.

He is chasing her and even attacking her with lightning bolts. The hunter became the hunted because of that reversal. She had to focus on warping space without stopping. He will get her if she stops just once. That's why she released her domain. She made spatial fractures appear in his path to slow him down. If he isn't careful, he would run head first into the spatial fractures and be terribly injured, if not dead.

But he didn't slow down. It is because he can sense the telltale sign of space being fractured before the fractures appear. The process is not instantaneous for her, which gives him time to avoid them. She may be able to use the power of space as a mana entity because of her dragon heart, but she is nowhere near what an Origin god can achieve with the manipulation of space. He is a world beast, so he should know.

The chase didn't last long. They were very fast and were using powerful skills, so it is normal that they would get tired very quickly. But she got tired first. Manipulating space is more challenging than manipulating lightning. It is far more challenging when she hasn't become one with space and cannot control it efficiently enough to reduce energy consumption.

To him, he is simply moving his body around, not performing a lot of external manipulation of lightning, so his energy expenditure is very low. As for her, she had to warp space constantly without taking a break while also fracturing space in a domain around her. It is something she couldn't do seemlessly for up to 10 seconds.

She faltered, and a lightning bolt struck her. That stunned her and created more opportunities for Legion-8. He took advantage of it to close in on her. He bombarded her with lightning dragon breath while physically assaulting her whenever he had the chance. He didn't let up at all because those who can manipulate space are quick to escape if given the chance.

His victory came two seconds later. The whole fight lasted 12 seconds. The world fragmented and returned to darkness. His consciousness was sent back to his bloodline space.

He examined his inner world for any changes. There weren't any. But there was a change in the bloodline space. The star he entered for the trial is glowing brightly instead of dimming. It indicates that he has completed it and has received the ancestor's bestowal from it.

"At least it wasn't a waste of time. I got the power of a world god from it. But I doubt that he will grant me his power during my fight with the dragons. Even if he is willing, I doubt the dragon spirit would be willing to facilitate it."

The bloodline space is a mental space within the bloodline of dragons. It is a location maintained by the dragon spirit, so other races don't have it. Dragons use it to communicate with each other across distances. It is how dragons in captivity will become aware of that fact and decide to commit suicide if they can't escape.

Dragonlings have access to this mental space even before they are born. They can't use it to communicate yet, but they can take trials in it to gain some of the potential of the ancestor as an extra elemental talent and to gain their power when they need it after hatching.
