1782. Layers

Noah and King Elbas couldn't miss that feature. The blinding environment past the crack in the void was hard to inspect, and the whiteness even tried to hide part of its insides, but the traces of life inevitably tainted that unnatural cover.

The mental waves spreading through the whiteness inspected every faint trace of life and tried to understand their sources. That process ended up being relatively easy. King Elbas and Noah couldn't fail to recognize the familiar energy radiated by magical beasts, humans, and hybrids.

"Why can we sense it so clearly?" Noah asked.

"I think you don't realize how powerful we are compared to these weaker worlds," King Elbas explained.

Noah gained a clearer understanding of that area after King Elbas' explanation. The whiteness acted as a protective layer, but its power barely reached the divine ranks. Heaven and Earth had no reason to invest more energy in those zones since they only featured human and heroic existences.
