The spear instantly disappeared into the void and a deep silence was the only thing that remained.

Until...

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!*

The whole world tuned white for a second.

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

'That was intense...', Ryo looked down at his hand as he felt the golden blood flood through his body. The battle was so intense that it had left him with next to no Paradox Energy.

But he was not at a loss.

'I have... 'leveled up'? My understanding of Space, Time, and the concept of Infinity have... Increased?' Scanning his Astral Body, he felt that his capacity to hold Paradox Energy and his core ability had increased.

*Sigh*

Sighing, Ryo looked around as he barely stood up on the barren ground. His eyes scanned the surroundings, and his eyes finally landed on a small dark violet diamond-shaped floating just a few meters away from him.

'That thing... it's dropped from that Fish... Should I take it or not?', Even with his exhausted body and brain, his mind was still in good condition. 'Should I take it or not? It could be a trap, or it could be something beneficial...'

<Take it.>

'This voice... The World Tree...?', Ryo's eyes narrowed down as the message once again popped up, but this time he was clearly able to hear it. Still hesitating, Ryo finally glanced at his timer.

'I am going to win anyway in the end... For that I will be discarding this body, but... what if this 'thing' will get attached to my Astral Body?', With great stress on his mind, Ryo just stood there thinking about hundreds of possibilities.

His instincts were screaming: 'Grab it!', 'It's very useful!', but he knew for better what was good for him.

'If I take the crystal, there is a 40% chance that it will be harmful to me. Like something like a bomb that will explode on contact or being in touch with a high-dimensional object... If I take it, I can grow stronger, but if I don't take it, I will not lose anything.'

[[0:00:07]]

After finally deciding what he was going to do, he looked at the 'World Tree' and after staring at the roots for an instant, which felt like several seconds to him, he decided that it was time to make the move.

Closing his eyes, he used Paradox Energy to gather the information of the Higher Dimension.

Paradox Energy just essentially makes a Higher Dimensional entity semi-omnipotent. It was like magic but without any limitations. The only limitations there are, are methods of gathering the Paradoxial Energy.

To put it simply, if Ryo at that moment wanted to make a thing out of nothingness, he could make it, but it would consume his Paradoxical Energy proportionally. The bigger, stronger, and with more ability, the higher the price.
