As we were enjoying the day inside my divine realm, we had a picnic using all the dinosaur meat I've been stacking up inside my Inventory from the outside world. The energy that this meat and its raw materials were all amazing, the skin, scales, claws, fangs, and bones of these giant dinosaurs were also amazing crafting materials, and I had a lot of pilled up stuff for Anna to one day help me out convert into fine equipment or upgrade my already existing equipment, but there's no rush regarding that and I don't want to put any pressure on her in that regard either.
The meat was filled with energy, the energy of this Universe doesn't seem so different from the one in my Universe. Perhaps the entire dimension shares the same "type" of energy but its called and utilized differently in each area of the Dimension. Universes could be said to eb their own self-contained bubbles filled with Galaxies and Planets, and each one is like a bubble, where there are many Universes everywhere within the Dimensional Membrane.
I remember that dream I had where I met the Dimensional Core, it seems that there are conscious cores in every Galaxy, Universe, and Dimension, even.
Apparently very Galaxy has a certain level of intelligence and power, although the youngest ones have weaker Galaxy Cores… well, not like I will ever get to see them any time soon now that I am confined in this Azure Planet until I can break through the heaven layer and explore further.
There are also World Cores which each Planet can develop, but for that they require to have life on them… and then there are stars… I don't know about stars nor if they got physical crystalline cores, although it would be interesting to find out… one day, I guess.
Anyways, each place got their own Cores, a universe by itself also has one, Universe Cores, my goal would be to one day collect these ones to powerup, but wouldn't it be better to begin collecting Planets, then Stars, then Galaxies, right? So I have to go in order before I can meet the Dimensional Core and absorb it too… I remember that the tentacle we fought originates from an entity of Dimensional Proportions, the Dimensional Core called it Dimensional Ruler.
Dimensional Rulers are powerful beings that had completely absorbed their own Dimension and the Dimensional Core, becoming the Hegemony of their Dimension, each corner of such Dimension is their body in a sense, and there's nothing that can escape from it. this Dimensional Ruler had begun since the Ragnar?k to devour other Dimensions interior slowly, absorbing their energy for nourishment.
I suppose Dimensional Rulers can easily absorb all the energy from any Dimension… But anyways, a Dimension probably only has a single type of energy it shares everywhere… but I am different because I've absorbed the energy from other dimensions that had attacked Earth back then, I got Beast Ki, Demonic Energy, and so on. But the fun part is that they all ended being assimilated into Mana at the end, so that's nice, while I still can develop the natures of these energies and converge them with my own Mana as well, which is even nicer.
This moves us to our current discussion and topic, the meat of this Universe, although it feels a tad bit alien, it still possible to be eaten by us, and we had been enjoying it pretty happily. My summons and my babies can eat it without problems, also the other humans that are my allies, and my tamed monsters, so everyone had been eating this energy-rich energy. We had hunted so many of these beasts because they gave a shit ton of EXP and I really wanted it to level up and become stronger, I had leveled up 8 times during that period all thanks to killing these strong beasts, although I can't say it was the easiest, if it were easier, I would had slaughtered even more to level up faster after all.
But in this Universe, specifically in this planet, my power is being suppressed by the strong Laws of this world, so I cannot completely go all crazy on it… but maybe this would change if I could get my hands into a Universe Core, with an Universe Core inside of me, I could govern my own Laws and even use them to oppose other Universes Laws… but well, that's discussion for another day in the far future.
For now, even as a Supreme God, I am still a rookie, so I cannot really hurry things up and end up tripping over and dying in the process, I am a slow progressor! I swear!
…Well, not really.
"Gustav?"
Kireina asked me again, I had begun thinking so many things I seemed to be spacing out.
"Ah! Of course, I will bring you girls and everyone else outside at its due time… I-Its not like I am excluding you from my adventures…" I said.
"I don't know but that seems to be clearly the case! You're cheating on having two bodies, one outside and one inside, so you make it seem as if you're always with us, but you're still having adventures outside… that's unfair! I also wanna go…" sighed Kireina.
"Same, I also want to go outside and meet that new world of Azure, it looks interesting. And the little Xijun might be a nice daughter candidate. She's strong, but I fear you might end up seducing her or something… You often don't realize how handsome you are." Sighed Anna.
"Eh? Xijun doesn't look at me like that! I am like her uncle, or better, a big brother! I only see her as my little sister or an adoptive daughter at most, don't get it wrong, girls… Come on…" I laughed nervously.
"Hmmm… Fine! We can wait a bit more, but what's really delaying you from bringing us there?" asked Kireina while raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, you've not been clear in that regard, it makes it seem as if we were just party poopers for you or something." said Anna.
"Ah… Girls… Don't get so angry…" I sighed.
