'If these lines are simply [Information], then why do I feel like I'll probably die if I touch one of these...'

Feeling this intense sense of danger, Lorien immediately 'stepped back,' moving his divine sense away from any [Information Line] he deemed a threat.

However, out of curiosity, he still observed these lines from afar, trying to gather as much information as possible without actually touching any of them.

'Different from the other information lines, it seems that these ones hold true power in them.'

'Are they higher quality information lines, or is it just some protection set up by the world of origin to safeguard its own information...'

Thinking about the many possibilities, Lorien couldn't help but feel greatly excited, knowing that these lines might hold some incredible secrets.

It's just that as he was in a daze, his mind wandering between the different possibilities, Lorien didn't notice the looming danger that was getting ever so close.

At this very moment, without him sensing anything, these dangerous information lines slowly began to radiate their 'information' to the surroundings without anyone touching them.

It seems that Lorien's observation from the side triggered some mechanism, causing eerie whispers that seemed to originate from the abyss to echo across the void of nothingness.

*A veil of obscurity, Echoes of silence*

*HAHAAHAHAHHAHA*

*THE GATES WILL SOON OPEN*

*THE CEMETARY WON'T LAST LONG*

*There in the night, stars are now right*

*Eons have passed*

*Now then-+*/gq/*--qgg*

*Prison walls -è"è'é-5-è8+-/-+*

*HAAHAHAHA, SPREAD, SPREAD MORE*

*WE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN, FOR THAT IS THE END*

*+9+9-**+989+)àpç_çè_çt*

Echoing in a bone-chilling manner, these muffled whispers that seemed to original from some old broken radio receiver finally reached Lorien who still didn't realize what was happening.

The moment this happened, Lorien instantly felt his consciousness get dragged uncontrollably into an abyss of darkness while also getting bombarded at the same time with innumerable twisted messages that wanted to consume and assimilate him.

'This...'

Realizing what was happening, Lorien immediately began using his power which was still boosted by the [World Authority] to resist this erosion.

'Damn it!'

Doing so, Lorien couldn't help but feel a bit regretful as he knew that he might have bitten more than he could chew this time.

'Curiosity truly kills the cat!'

'I should have withdrawn the moment I felt that something was wrong...'

However, while feeling regretful, Lorien didn't actually feel that afraid despite not being able to resist as he knew that his rescue would be there soon.

It's just that while he knew that, it was still unknown if he could last until that happened with all the bombardment he was getting.

*Cough*

Still sitting at the center of the broken battlefield, Lorien's body started to uncontrollably spasm as blood started dripping out of his orifices.

Mouth, nose, eyes, and ears; At this very moment, Lorien's entire head area was under pressure.

*Bzzzz*

*Swish*

However, thankfully for him, it appears that the golden orb within his body and more precisely Moira finally reacted.

'What did this guy do?!' She thought feeling slightly afraid.

'DID HE ACTUALY TOUCH THESE THINGS?!!'

'DAMN IT!'

'Does he want to die?'

Gritting her teeth, Moira immediately unfolded her power at full capacity, forcefully breaking the state that Lorien was in.

Then, with her power still in full effect, the power of [Time] washed over Lorien's body instantly restoring him to full health.

Following this, she then raised her hand and smacked down Lorien's consciousness swiftly launching his consciousness back into his body.

*Swish*

*BOOM*

Despite the immaterial state of his consciousness, it seems that Moira's smack transcended this limit causing a pit to appear under Lorien's body as a consequence.

It's just that even after doing all of this, it seems that Moira was still angry as she immediately began berating Lorien.

{DO YOU WANT TO DIE??!!}

{IF SO, DON'T DRAG ME WITH YOU!}

"Huh?"

Still dazed by his weird experience, Lorien who heard the sudden voice felt slightly confused.

'This voice...It's her.'

'She indeed saved me.'

'However, what does she mean by dragging her with me?'

'Are these pieces of information dangerous even to her?'

Scratching his head in confusion, all Lorien could do was smile bitterly and accept this reprimand as it was indeed his fault.

However, he still tried to interject in between phrases, trying to gather some information.

"Ummm, I apologize, I didn't know that they were that dangerous, however, what are they?"

{How would I know?}

"Haven't you..."

{Touched them? NO!}

{Even I feel danger just by looking at them, why would I touch them?}

{You're lucky that you only got affected by their radiation, otherwise, even I won't be able to help you!}

Hearing this, Lorien immediately felt his perception of the world shatter as he realized that this void of nothingness was actually much more dangerous than he had expected.

'It seems that there are indeed powerhouses of higher levels than her hidden somewhere.'

'As powerful as she is, she might not actually be part of the first echelon of nothingness.'

Frowning slightly, Lorien couldn't help but think back to his previous experience causing a chill to run down his spine.

'Damn it, I got too comfortable.'

'I have to be more careful in the future.'

'However, it wasn't without gain as I still got some important information from that radiation.'

'The bigger the danger, the bigger the opportunity!'

Thinking about the information he just gathered, Lorien slowly turned his attention back to the golden orb and said.

"Well, I don't know how useful the information that I got this time is, however, after digesting some of the information that I got bombarded by, I can now say for sure that these [Information Lines] don't originate from certain worlds."

"Instead, each of these weird and dangerous [Information Lines] has some powerful being behind it as the origin."

{Huh?}

Hearing this sudden statement, Moira who was about to continue her scolding immediately stopped her eyes widening in shock.

{Are you sure?}

"Yes."

{...}

{Could this be the way to reach higher levels...}

Thinking about this possibility, Moira immediately fell silent before swiftly deciding to end the subject here.

{I am going, don't do such a dangerous thing again.}

"...Alright."
