"Detected the dissolution of the user’s consciousness, the current Dimensional Travel is ending, beginning detection."

"Detected that the user possesses powers unique to this world, capable of dissolving and returning with the consciousness."

"Detected that the user carries items unique to this world; if you wish to bring them back, energy can be consumed to execute."

"Detected that this Dimensional Travel is for a designated world, based on privileges, energy consumption is not required for item integration."

"Detected that this Dimensional Travel allows a partial return of life forms having special connections with the user; maximum count is five, actual carry count is two, beginning execution."

"Dimensional Travel ending, beginning return."

It was undoubtedly Reiger’s first time ending the Dimensional Travel experience before the time limit arrived.

Originally, due to this Dimensional Travel being to a designated world, Reiger had obtained double the time limit, allowing him to stay in the Fairy Country’s Britain Lostbelt for a full 180 days, which is exactly half a year.

But since the necessary tasks had been completed, Reiger only stayed in this world for less than half a month before ending this Dimensional Travel.

The method to end Dimensional Travel early was also simple; the information provided by the Dimensional Cube had already stated that as long as the consciousness dies and dissolves, the current Dimensional Travel would end early.

Therefore, by dissolving his consciousness, Reiger could choose to end Dimensional Travel early and return.

Also, since this Dimensional Travel was to a designated world, all items carried by Reiger did not require Dimension Energy to integrate, and he could also bring back a portion of life forms that have special connections with him.

This so-called "having special connections with the user," what exactly does it mean? After carefully reading the Dimensional Cube’s instructions, Reiger finally found an explanation at a much later part.

"Twenty-two: After opening the dimensional path to the designated world and conducting Dimensional Travel, you can establish special contracts with life forms within the designated world by consuming corresponding Dimension Energy."

This is the only way to take life forms from the designated world using the Dimensional Cube.

In short, just like item integration, Dimension Energy is consumed to integrate specific targets to take them away.

The consumed Dimension Energy is not fixed but calculated based on the target’s comprehensive strength. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Simply put, the stronger they are, the more knowledgeable, the greater their intrinsic value, and the higher their future potential, the more Dimension Energy is needed.

Take Morgan for example; her strength hardly needs further elaboration, her potential is high, she’s a genius magician of Divine Realm level, with immense accumulation of magical knowledge. To establish a special contract with her, Reiger needs to consume 100 units of Dimension Energy.

Compared to her, another person with whom Reiger established a special contract is considerably lesser, only requiring 50 units of Dimension Energy, which lacks prestige indeed.

Reiger initially did not plan to leave with the other person; however, having lost reason to survive in this world, Reiger did not know what might happen if he ignored them.

Thus, Reiger took that person along, plus Morgan, to return to the Source World.

...

Source World, Black Land, Mistigo.

Compared to when Reiger left, nothing significant has changed; it remains as dark, bloody, decadent, and corrupt, not suitable for human habitation.

Even though the path connecting Source and the Abyss has been closed, preventing creatures from the Abyss from coming over, Abyss creatures still linger on this land, along with the omnipresent Abyssal Aura, as if nothing ever happened.

If observed closely, you’ll find that compared to before, Abyss creatures in Mistigo have reduced considerably, almost to none.

No wonder, as yesterday was when Reiger battled the Abyssal lords.

That battle led to the demise of countless Abyss creatures, and many fled in panic.

The battle’s aftermath still exists in the city, with even the corpse of the God of Brutality, the black snake, laying here, segments scattered on the ground, emanating ancient, savage, dangerous, and fierce aura continuously, keeping Abyss creatures at bay.

Thanks to this, when Reiger and Morgan arrived hand in hand, the situation was different from last time; no longer were innumerable Abyss creatures roaring and attacking, saving him the effort of a massacre for site cleanup.

"This is the place."

Reiger brought Morgan to hover before the recently closed Abyss Gate, speaking to the witch next to him.

"My friend sacrificed himself here, closed the passage between the Source and the Abyss, and his soul fell into the planar gap, where even I can’t call him back."

Upon hearing this, Morgan closed her eyes expressionlessly, a subtle Magic Power fluctuation emanating from her, seemingly detecting something.
