My Space-Time System



The space in the pocket dimension was twice the size of a football pitch, but when compared to the size of Azkelwart's base, it was like a bucket of water being poured into an ocean.

After checking out everything he needed to, Blake left the pocket dimension with Ebony and Ivory to continue exploring his new abilities.

[The third ability is called Spatial Lock. It is an escape skill that instantly takes you directly to the pocket dimension. However, you can only use it twice every 120 hours.] The system explained.

'What is the difference between doing that and just using a portal to get there?' Blake asked with a raised brow.

[The Spatial Lock is not a spell but an ability; it doesn't need time to be activated. So, during a very dangerous situation where you might not have the time to get into a portal, it will instantly transport you to the pocket dimension.]

[Also, the effects change when used on someone else. If the spell was successful, not only would the target's movements be restricted for some time, but all teleportation spells and artifacts will also be sealed for a given period of time.] The lock's duration was dependent on the power level of the target.

'How do you mean if the spell is successful?' Blake noticed a problem in the system's explanation.

[If the target is on guard and is not in a weakened state, they are able to use their aura and will to resist or stop the ability from completely enveloping them.] The system said.

"I thought you said it was instant?" Blake was confused.

[For you, yes. For others, it is a little bit faster. In fact, there is a 95% chance of it working on anyone that has never encountered the spell.] The system clarified Blake's confusion.

'This would be perfect for capturing targets alive.' Blake rubbed his palms together and grinned.

"Can I test it out on you?" Blake reluctantly asked Ebony, but to his surprise, Ebony was eager to be a test subject.

"Here it goes." 

Blake activated Spatial Lock, and his aura almost instantly enveloped Ebony, warping him out of the room.

'That works fine, but I want to check something out.' Blake stretched out his hand and summoned Ebony.

RIPP!

Instantly, a tear was made in space, and Ebony flew out and into his hand. 

'This proves that even spatial seals can't stop them from being summoned. At least those below the Angel realm.' Blake was glad with the result of his experiments.

Once Blake was done, the system continued its explanation. [The next ability is Divination. You can say that the Locator spell asks the where question, while the divination spell asks the where, when and what question.]

The divination spell wasn't omniscient, in fact, it was even more restricted and had more chances of failing than the locator spell. However, just like the Locator spell, if it was something that concerned Blake, the chances of success will be increased.

'This would have really saved me a lot of time, during my days as a detective.' Blake shook his head at the ability's bad timing.

[The last core ability of the space element is Space pronouncement. It is the same concept as normal pronouncements, but these pronouncements can only affect space.] 

Although the Space pronouncement ability sounded redundant, it gave an Astromancer an edge over fellow demigods of the same stage and 2 stages above. This was because it stacked on the Astromancer's normal pronouncement ability.

The two abilities granted by the time authority are Time Zone and State exchange. The former was just like the speed domain, but instead of taking away the speed of those within range, it slowed down the time of everything except Blake and things connected to him.

As for the latter, it granted the user the ability to exchange his future physical and mental state with his current self. The drawback of the ability was that with each use, the Astromancer's lifespan would be shortened.

'It is safe to say that time zone is my trump card, so it is best to only use it in my domain where it would be more effective and still remain a secret.' Blake made up his mind before continuing. 'As for State change, I must confess it is a very powerful ability that would terrify my enemies, but the prize for such power is too steep.'

"I should just forget about the ability." He couldn't help but imagine his lifespan being affected if he managed to return to Earth.

[Finally, for you to activate your domain all you need to do is try expanding your connection with the Mother-stream outside your body.] Since the system had explained how domains worked long ago, they went straight to the action.

Looking into his chest region, Blake quickly found the connection and expanded it and instantly, an unknown force expanded out of his chest and enveloped the entire region.

Blake found himself in a very large expanse of land with a powerful storm covering the entire sky. Apart from that, every other thing looked plain, but Blake felt that both the lightning and space element were greatly boosted.

"I feel I can create hundreds of spatial corridors at the same time." Blake was shocked by how light his head felt even after conjuring 5 spatial corridors simultaneously.

[In here, your only limit is your mana. So, create only the things you need.] The system advised.

'The Space element is too op!' Blake screamed.

[One of the main reasons members of the space pathway are very few is because its main abilities start at the Demigod realm. Knowing this, people would either want to ally with the Chronomancer or get rid of them before they mstured.] The system explained the curse that plagued Chronomancers.

'Guess I was lucky to have Prince Bryon to look out for me.' Blake thought.

The exploration of the domain marked the end of figuring out his abilities. What was left was training to get used to his abilities and to create combos.

For this, he asked the system for the best combos with the space element, before going ahead to create his own combinations. This took 2 days of continuous practice and rest to regenerate his mana.
