GA: Chapter 107: Dimensions Breaking Into Reality — A Space-Type Ability User?
At that moment, a figure slowly materialized before the two children.
A single index finger tapped lightly against the empty air. Faint ripples spread through the space around it, and the massive mutated python's body froze instantly — terror and desperate struggle surfacing in those serpentine eyes.
But before it could so much as twitch, a strange black sphere appeared in the air and expanded rapidly. Dark electric arcs could be seen churning within it, the surrounding magnetic field beginning to warp, even the space itself distorting at the edges.
"Wuuu—"
The next moment, accompanied by a wretched, dying wail, the mutated white python's enormous body began to fracture and dissolve — breaking apart until nothing remained but chunks of flesh raining across the ground, a curtain of blood misting down from the sky above.
Bai Xuan's expression remained unmoved. He gave no particular attention to the spectacle he'd just caused, shifting his gaze instead to the small boy who held his little sister tightly in his arms.
"A dense golden-element affinity. And in the face of danger, his first instinct was to protect her."
"He reminds me a little of someone."
He reached into his spatial ring and withdrew the Snow Lion Armor summoner and its crystal, then placed both into the boy's hands under his puzzled gaze.
"Don't waste what it's chosen to give you."
"Grow up quickly. The world ahead of you won't be kind."
With that said, Bai Xuan's gaze drifted briefly to the little girl standing behind her brother. A water-element affinity no weaker than her brother's — no wonder the mutated white python had been so fixated on her.
Just as humans could accelerate their growth by consuming mutated beast flesh, mutated beasts could strengthen themselves by consuming human flesh in turn.
And unlike beasts, where only a fraction had mutated, virtually every human had awakened some form of ability — the only difference being whether it was strong or weak.
In the eyes of mutated beasts, every human was spiritual energy walking around in edible form. Some just tasted better than others.
A water-element affinity this powerful would be an irresistible delicacy to a water-attribute creature like the white python — one that might even trigger a transformation in its own talent.
And yet, despite that affinity, the Black Rhino Armor hadn't chosen her. Was it a matter of mentality?
Perhaps. Compared to her brother, she was still somewhat fragile at heart.
Though honestly, that was exactly the kind of mindset a child her age should have. If anything, her brother's composure was what was unusual — almost unnervingly so for someone his age.
No wonder the Snow Lion Armor summoner had chosen him at this age.
But the Snow Lion Armor wasn't the Imperial Armor. No one would fight his battles for him. At this age he couldn't even withstand the transformation yet — growing into it would take a long time. And the future wasn't going to wait.
Bai Xuan shook his head slightly. A black void opened before him, and with a single step, his figure vanished entirely from sight.
His reason for coming here had been that one person alone. After all, someone chosen by the Snow Lion Armor dying this quickly would have been a genuine waste.
But this was the one and only time.
From here on, he was on his own.
With the mutated white python dead and Bai Xuan gone, the bystanders who had been fleeing and the Spiritual Energy Bureau members in the area all wore similarly dazed expressions.
"Was that just now... the White Emperor? Bai Xuan?"
"Dragon Emperor, Ice Emperor, Flame Emperor, White Emperor — those were the four powerhouses the government introduced back then. The White Emperor's strength is universally acknowledged as the strongest among them, because even the other three Emperors and the official authorities themselves have said his power is beyond their imagination."
"I didn't quite believe it at first — the videos didn't seem to show anything dramatically stronger than the others. But now I believe it. Unless I'm wrong, the White Emperor just extended one finger... and the mutated python died?"
"And that black void he used to leave at the end — is his ability some kind of space-type?"
"Did anyone else notice what the White Emperor gave that little boy at the end? I couldn't make it out clearly from this distance, but it really looked like the Snow Lion Armor summoner from that old show — Armor Hero."
"They say the Dragon Emperor Qin Tian in the capital was wearing armor almost identical to the Flame Dragon Armor when he wiped out the beast tide there. And lately more than a few people online have been claiming that Devil Fruits from the anime have appeared in real life — that they were lucky enough to eat one."
"Dimensions breaking through into reality... could it be—"
More than a few people stared at the Snow Lion Armor summoner in the boy's hands with burning eyes — but the Spiritual Energy Bureau members had already formed a protective ring around the two children. Whatever thoughts anyone had, not one of them dared act on it.
"Xiao Zhao — Bingbing — wuwuwuwu..."
From within the crowd, a middle-aged couple pushed through. After having their identities verified by the Bureau members, they swept the children into their arms, tears streaming freely.
The man's face crumpled with relief. The crowd had been so thick earlier, and the two children had been separated from them in the chaos. As long as they were unharmed — as long as nothing had happened to them — that was all that mattered. He didn't know how he would have gone on otherwise.
"Mama..."
Xiao Zhao patted his mother's shoulder gently, as if trying to comfort her, but his eyes were fixed on the direction Bai Xuan had disappeared. Then he looked down at the Snow Lion Armor summoner in his hands.
That older brother just now... felt really warm somehow.
The scene of Bai Xuan's intervention wasn't only watched by civilians. The Hangzhou Spiritual Energy Bureau relayed the footage to the capital's central Bureau headquarters at the first opportunity.
"Goodness — that mutated python went down in a single move?"
"It'd be stranger if it didn't. Don't forget what his ability is."
"The mutated white python's strength was decent enough — Comrade Qin Tian or Comrade Huo Yu could have handled it easily either way. One-shotting it wouldn't be remarkable for them."
"In fact, what we should be paying attention to isn't his strength. It's why he made a move at all."
A man in military uniform, his expression grave, addressed those assembled below him.
"Bai Xuan is a god — or rather, since awakening [Authority of Nature], he has already begun the transition from human to god. His mindset, his power, his realm of existence are all ascending toward a higher order."
"A transcendent platform capable of connecting the myriad worlds. An unknown existence through which one can encounter, communicate with, and even trade with figures from animated works. And the inconceivable ability to materialize objects from those worlds into physical reality."
"Comrade Qin Tian's Flame Dragon Armor. Comrade Huo Yu's Flare-Flare Fruit. Comrade Chen Bing's Divine Manifestation — Devil's Essence. Comrade Wang Ming's Hand of God. And now the Snow Lion Armor summoner Bai Xuan just handed to that boy..."
"Then there's the creature known as a Pokémon — a pure, uncomplicated personality, powerful lightning-type abilities, and an art style visibly distinct from our own world. I think it's safe to say that no one here has any remaining reason to doubt the accuracy of what Bai Xuan has shared with us."
He swept his gaze across the room, his tone unwavering.
"The myriad worlds hold far too many things we consider impossible."
"The animated works our world has created may well correspond to real worlds out there — but that does not mean those worlds are only animated worlds."
