Rowena and Edward apparated to the Bermuda Triangle. After a glance, Edward realized that it looked similar to his timeline, with the same strange spatial fluctuations. Then, he saw Rowena took out an item, then a vortex appeared in front of them. Then, the two of them entered the vortex.

Soon afterward, Edward found himself in a very dark place, so he used the Lumos Charm to see his surroundings.

"There is a separate space connected to the Bermuda Triangle. I never discovered it in my timeline."

"I used the Hall of Prophecy to amplify my Divination Magic to locate all the different Rooms. After arriving in this place, I created an alchemy item that help me enter this place. Keep up, there is still some way to go."

Edward then hurriedly followed her. After more than 30 minutes walk. Then, Edward saw a sight that he probably would never forget in his life.

In front of him was a large vortex, and through this vortex was a white world full of sparkles. Each sparkle had different intensity, yet they still shined brilliantly and beautifully. Edward felt like he was looking at stars at night, and the sight was breathtaking.

"What is this?" he asked in shock.

"Chaos, the World Beyond Our World, or Outside of our Universe. You can call it with many names," replied Rowena.

"You mean Void!"

"Void? That's a good name."

Then Edward suddenly started laughing out loud like a madman, and even some small tears fell from his eyes. Rowena could not tell whether because he laughed too much, or because of pure joy.

After regaining his bearing, Edward said: "According to my theory, there exist worlds, universes, or dimensions completely separate from our own. And in between these universes, there should exist something: Void. Finally, my theory has been proven correct."

"This is not enough of you to be this happy."

"You don't understand. All this different world means different magic civilizations and power systems. Some that are way better than ours, some that are not, and some that are completely different. Nonetheless, it is still completely new knowledge."

Rowena's eyes light up after hearing, meanwhile, Edward continued to vent his emotions. After sighing deeply, he said:

"One of my greatest and most ambitious goals was to travel to these worlds and acquire their knowledge. But I knew that this would not be an easy process.

"So, I study a way to acquire immortality so I can have time to do so. And Later, I decided to conquer the planet and use the wisdom of all wizards and muggles to help me accomplish my goal.

"Even then, I knew that things would not go easy. However, with this discovery, I finally see hope for my goal to be achieved. So, I would like to thank you sincerely."

Rowena nodded her head, "As a fellow who travels the same path of discovering the essence of magic, I accept your thanks."

Edward took a deep breath, his eyes changed as they twinkle when looking at Rowena. "Okay, let's deal with your problem now. Tell me what's going on?"

Nodding her head, she explained: "When I first came here, the Room of Space and Room of Time were located here, connected to the vortex. They seemed to be slowly closing the vortex. I was curious about it, so I started studying it.

"Unfortunately, in one of my experiments, something came out from the Void and entered my body. This strange power started infecting my body. Although I manage to prevent it from spreading, it slowly weakens me."

Edward walked to her and used his wand to check her injury. He soon discovered a black light inside of her body.

'All her body is infected, including both her bloodline and magic core. This could explain why she never broke the Last Limiter. Luckily, she managed to stop this thing from spreading to all her soul, and only a small part is affected.'

"Do you have a solution?" asked Rowena.

"Well…"

"If you do not, it's okay. I've had a long time to make peace with my death. It's just a shame that my life would come to an end so quickly without accomplishing so many things."

"There is no need to be negative as I do have a way, it's just that a few things need to be dealt with."

"Really, what method?"

"First of all, you need to give up your current body."

"Give up my body? You want to use clone."

"That's right. Clone you and place your soul in the new body," replied Edward.

"That's a good method, but there will still be the issue of my soul."

"Here lies the problem. I do not have nearly enough understanding of this strange thing to remove it from your soul. So, the best solution is to use magic similar to Horcrux and cut that the part of your soul that is infected.

"However, doing so would make your soul incomplete. Although the soul can slowly heal itself, the process is extremely long compare to the human body.

"So, we need to find a way to make up for that missing piece. I guess that the Elixir of Immortality may have a way to make up for it, but I've never tested it, so I'm not entirely sure."

"Rowena's eyes light up after hearing this, "If you want a way to make up for the soul, then we need to find Salazar Slytherin."

"Him? What for?"

"In this timeline, he invented a way to turn muggles into pure soul energy and crystalize it. This is the reason that Godric Gryffindor hates him and constantly tries to kill him."

"In that case, let's visit him and the other founders. Then, we can travel to my timeline to treat you. *sigh* I should have come with all my research and laboratory equipment. I need to make a mental note for the future."

"What about you studying the Void?"

"It can wait until we return to my timeline. I'm sure this vortex also exists there."

"Well, this might not be the case," replied Rowena.

"What do you mean?"

"Although I only removed the Rooms of Space and Time because I was desperate to find a way to live and wanted to study all the Mysterious Rooms to discover a solution to my problem, I still care about the vortex.

"So, after moving the rooms, I still checked on it and discovered that it was slowly closing on its own. The Rooms acted as an amplifier to the process."

"So, there is a chance that they might be already close on my timeline," added Edward. "In that case, we just have to return here after you are healed."

"There is no need for so much trouble. After we get the information from Slytherin, we can come back here to study. From my calculation, I can last for 10 to 15 years."

Edward frowned, "You should be aware that the longer we take to treat you, the larger part of your soul that will be affected?"

"I know that. But I have a feeling that a mysterious change is slowly taken place in my soul because of that weird thing, and it is a good kind of change. So, I plan to allow it to take place.

"After I get a new body and heal my soul, I will absorb this strange thing again and allow it to slowly transform me, and once I can no longer hold on, I will use the same method to cut it off me. Then, I will repeat the process again and again until the transformation is over."

After hearing this, Edward did not try to convince her as he would probably do the same thing in her situation. The only difference being that he would be more careful and experimented on other people before doing it on himself.

After agreeing, the two left to meet the other founders of that time.
