Chapter 183 Dimension Wars & Stigma Of Invader!
Cyrus was really lost for words when he heard Eve's complaint; he clearly didn't sense any presence at all.
"It appeared being a dimension core gives you special abilities as well, and now you are a hot commodity among the dimensions. I must say I'm a little bit jealous." Cyrus teased, but his cold expression was clearly indicating he was not happy at all.
"Hmph! Just an ugly swine! Let's destroy this place!" Eve declared coldly as she felt a strange disgust for this dimension.
"I'm planning to, but let's not make rash decisions. Let us hear what this dimension war and stigma is all about." Cyrus stated as he turned his attention to the system again, and it seemed to be waiting for this and started speaking statically.
"[Because of User's new status as a Dimension Guardian, any dimension other than your own will have a hostile response towards you. Every dimension core is intelligent, and that intelligence grows with their ranks.]
"[They can adapt by choosing a new master when someone kills their guardian so avoid the fate of being destroyed forever. For this exact reason, a dimension core will feel instinctively threatened by you because you are a guardian of another dimension.]
"[Even if you had no intention of harming it, this won't matter because the moment you entered a dimension without invitation, you are an Invader and given an Invader status by the Law of Dimensions.]
"[If you didn't have the Authority of IGOD, a Dimension Core can use its Dimension Span to directly kick you out since your dimension guardian status is only bronze rank.]
"[However, you didn't need the Authority of IGOD because the Lust Sword is like a holy grail for any and all dimensions. Because if they are able to devour it, they can evolve into an IGOD themselves!]
"[That's where the Dimension War declaration came into play. Typically, a Dimension War only happens when two growth types or equal rank dimensions try to devour each other, or some weaker one tries to devour a higher rank dimension.]
"[But in your case, you can freely move around without being bound by your dimension space, which made your very existence a mobile dimension. That's why the same rules will be applied to you, and any dimension could declare war on you.]
"[Dimension War had three major restrictions. First, once it starts, it will only end with one sole winner. There is no draw or life for losers. Second, anyone who was present during the dimension war will not be able to leave the dimension unless the dimension core and its guardian are dead. Third, the loser will be devoured by the winner!]
"[In your case, because of the special conditions attached with the dimension upgrade and you can't upgrade it without completing them. Thereby, a new function of the system will be opened [Side Lust Sword Quests]. In which the system will issue a Side Quest with corresponding rewards if you accept this war declaration.]
"[Lastly, upon accepting this war, the War Stigma of Invader will appear above your head which can't be hidden, and you will be like a blazing torch in the darkness. It is the price any Dimension and Templar Ruler will pay for invading a dimension.]
"[In normal cases, this Stigma would automatically appear if a Dimension and Temper Ruler or high-ranking temple members invade a foreign dimension. But because of your Authority of IGOD, this stigma will only appear if a dimension declares war on you just like now, and your temple members also have the same luxury.]
"[In case you reject this war, you will be teleported out of the dimension and will never be given another entry in that dimension like a lifetime ban!]"
Cyrus's expression turned grave when he heard the system's explanation of the dimension war and the stigma.
Only a minute remained before he needed to decide whether to accept this war or leave for good.
"What do you think, Wifey? If we start, we have to continue until the other side is fully annihilated. I never imagined creating a dimension would rob us out of our ability to roam the other dimensions freely. It will always be like this for us." Cyrus stated without any intent behind his words. He wanted to see what Eve thing about this and what she wanted before choosing.
Eve snickered at this moment and replied spitefully, "Hmph, why ask when you have already made up your mind? Do you think I don't have the guts to face this little dimension? Don't look down on me! Let's smash that creeper core!"
Cyrus couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, a little arrogant but not bad. System! We will accept this Dimension War!"
The moment he uttered those words, something mysterious rippled around him, and the next moment, Cyrus looked up.
An ethereal white arrow size 10 meters formed over his head, and it was really eye-catching. Cyrus tried to move his head, and as he did, the arrow followed his every move like it was part of him. That arrow also did not bother him at all, like it never existed.
But he could sense a very faint aura of laws on that arrow, and those laws were not something that could be lightly spoken of, which gave him some insight into just how terrifying this Law of Dimensions was!
At this moment, the system voice also appeared, and a new panel appeared.
