2 The Giant Hand Covering the Sky

The next moment, a forceful thrust separated Bai Ye from the tomb and he woke up from his dream.

Bai Ye opened his eyes.

When he sat up, his vest was wet with perspiration.

'The dream felt so real…' Bai Ye thought from the bottom of his heart.

Then, he froze completely.

This was because a mirror was hovering in front of him.

Although it looked somewhat different from the mirror in his dream, they resembled each other greatly.

The mirror circled him.

Bai Ye froze.

The mirror's surface was as smooth as water.

Judging from the information in his mind, this mirror had already become his beast.

To be precise, it had signed a soul contract with him many years ago. This was the reason he had been unable to sign a soul contract with other beasts; because he already had one.

The name of the beast that had signed a soul contract with him was Super Dimension Mirror.

Bai Ye was able to obtain basic information on the Super Dimension Mirror through the soul contract.

[Name: Super Dimension Mirror]

[Level: Iron One-Star]

[Skill: Super Dimension Space, Mirror Servant, Space Cutting]

[Endowment: 10,000+ (???)]

A crystal-clear mirror suddenly appeared in front of his palm.

This was his first beast, so Bai Ye's heart was filled with emotions.

He licked his dry lips.

'I understand what Space Cutting is. It's a high-level skill of spatial beasts. It can comprehend a high-level skill of the spatial beast despite it being an iron one-star beast. It's indeed a beast with a minimum talent of 10,000 points. But what is Super Dimension Space?'

He communicated with the Super Dimension Mirror.

He then found out that Super Dimension Space could not be released alone. It could only be used with the cooperation of other beasts or humans.

'Shall I give it a try?'

A layer of water ripples floated across the surface of the Super Dimension Mirror.

Bai Ye stretched and submerged his right hand according to the instructions of the Super Dimension Mirror.

All of a sudden…

The sky outside the window darkened.

At the same time, many people on the streets of the southern 36th Base City felt terrified.

One by one, the beasts walking on the road suffered brief moments of panic. Feeling uneasy, they were either roaring or calling out.

Above their crowns, a palm beyond their imagination was engulfing the sky.

Five huge fingers had enveloped almost half the sky.

This giant hand had protruded from a dark crack in the sky. Behind the crack was seemingly an endless chaos of depth and terror leading to the unknown.

The length of each finger was comparable to the height of a building, and the magnificence of the body behind this giant hand was beyond one's imagination.

Boom—

The fingers moved lightly, stirring wind and thunder.

Air currents surged, setting off a huge hurricane.

Air was then squeezed into a cyclone.

The void seemed to be crushing as it let out a series of sullen roars and thunderous booms.

Rolling thunder sounded across the vast sky and echoed through the empty, dark night.

The five huge fingers in the sky suddenly united, forming a fist.

This humongous fist was akin to the strongest mountain in the world and exuded a misty, metallic shine from its surface.

In the bedroom, Bai Ye was standing by the window. He stared at his arm, which had not entered the Super Dimension Mirror, and then at the fingers in the sky outside the window moving in tandem with his hand.

Holding his breath, Bai Ye stared in a daze at the terrifying giant hand in the sky outside the window.

A bold idea emerged in his mind.

The giant hand in the sky suddenly pointed its middle finger toward the Base City.

At the same time, countless worried and grave-looking people staring at the sky in the Base City were transfixed by this gesture.

Could there be a special meaning to this?

Simultaneously, a group of people was quickly collecting data in a special observation room located in a certain place in the Base City.

"Does this middle finger have any special meaning to it?"

"Does it have a provocative meaning?"

"Is it saying hello to us?"

"Does it want to become friends with us?"

At that moment, Bai Ye heard the sound of the door opening coming from the room next door. He quickly withdrew his hand from the mirror.

When he did this, the giant hand in the sky also retreated into the crack.

Following that, the crack disappeared as if it had never existed.

The bedroom door then opened.

The Super Dimension Mirror, which had been floating in front of Bai Ye's bed earlier, hid away shyly.

Fang Luolin was wearing a black sports vest and tight shorts when she barged into the second bedroom, revealing a large part of her fair and beautiful skin. Her face was filled with worry. "Were you frightened? My classmate just called me. A giant hand suddenly appeared in the sky. That giant hand may be a passing star behemoth or a void behemoth. The federal government has already sent people to investigate it. I believe there will be an outcome very soon."

Bai Ye waved his hand quickly. "I'm not scared. Go back to your room. Remember to close the door for me when you leave."

"I'm going back to my room then. Rest early today. You still have class tomorrow." Fang Luolin closed the door.

She had already taken the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination would only allow students to gain entry to ordinary or inferior universities. The top tertiary institutions and universities had separate admission exams.

Simply put, the results of the college entrance examination were not recognized by them. This was because, relatively speaking, the college entrance examination was too simple.

Fang Luolin had passed the admission examination to the Revolving Starlight University's Obsidian Branch with an "S" score and entered the school by ranking seventh in the entire cohort. She was a good seedling of the university. This school was also one of the three top universities on Obsidian Planet, although it had only been established in the past two decades.

This branch, which had only been established 20 years ago, had already become one of the three top universities. It was undoubtedly the elite of the academic world. It was said that the Obsidian Branch of the Revolving Starlight University had a very strong background.

Bai Ye looked at the ceiling in a daze after his sister left the room.

At the moment, he was digesting the news that he had signed a soul contract.

Signing a beast contract required consuming soul power and occupying soul space. The strength of his soul before the age of 16 was not enough to withstand the summoning of a beast.

Therefore, he had been waiting.

The Super Dimension Mirror, which had signed a soul contract with him long ago, had already taken him for granted.

How could it tolerate other "seductive sluts" competing with it for its own master? This was undoubtedly the reason all those beasts had failed to sign a contract while it was interfering.

Of course, being able to sign a beast contract was good. However, he did not know how to explain to his dear sister why the Super Dimension Mirror had suddenly signed a soul contract with him.

Bai Ye rubbed his face. He had to find a chance to explain its origin.

The thought of spilling the beans to his dear sister only lingered in Bai Ye's mind for a while before it was dispelled fully. This world had no shortage of memory searching, charm, or manipulation abilities. Although he believed his sister would definitely guard his secret, the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be for her. The less she knew, the safer it would be.

He just needed to tell her that he had already signed a contract with a beast.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Bai Ye sat up from the bed. He then went to the bathroom to wash his face. He looked up at himself in the mirror. A few strands of wet hair were hanging down his forehead, his brows were picturesque, his dark brown eyes limpid, his nose bridge tall, straight, and handsome, and his lips thin and pinkish. He had inherited the excellent genes of the Bai Family.

Everyone liked to look at themselves in the mirror after taking a bath or washing their face. Nevertheless, how one looked after washing one's face was often a mystery.

However, the Super Dimension Mirror, which had unknowingly appeared and floated next to Bai Ye, could not help whining unhappily when it saw its master looking at another mirror.

Crack—

A line suddenly appeared on the surface of the bathroom mirror, traveling from the top to the bottom of the mirror.
