Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 411

Neo was drowned in thoughts when Air Elementals approached him.

The air around him swirled playfully.

’We’ve made our choice!’

"And that is?"

’We are not going to help you!’

The wind howled briefly, as if laughing at his predicament.

’It’s funnier to see what is happening right now! More entertaining!’

Neo nodded, unfazed.

He had expected such a reaction from Air.

Their nature was fickle, driven more by amusement than duty.

Instead, he called upon another set of Elementals.

"Space."

Silver motes of light appeared around him.

A deep, echoing voice resonated from the shimmering lights.

’What is it, little one?’

"I want your help."

’Whether we can help you or not depends upon the weight of your wish. If it’s too heavy of a wish, not just us, but every Elemental won’t be able to help you unless you pay an appropriate price.’

Neo was not surprised by the revelations.

It would’ve been weirder if the Elementals helped him just because he could talk with them.

"It’s a simple request. Teach me about the pseudo-Gap Kane was talking about."

On the side, Kane observed Neo.

He could sense the Space Elementals fluctuating.

It seemed like Neo could communicate with the Elementals.

The news was surprising, but not entirely impossible.

’If it’s that alone is your request, we can teach you without any cost.’

The silver motes moved, forming a glowing pattern in the air to draw his attention.

They displayed the Dimensional Shift movement.

’Gap is what people refer to as dimensions that exist on different, or higher, frequencies.’

’Most people remain unaware of these dimensions and can never interact with them.’

’By having Space Affinity, one gains the ability to perceive the Gap and manipulate it.’

As they spoke, some of the Elementals drifted toward Kane, circling him.

’Unlike them, you and this child don’t have Space Affinity.’

’You can neither perceive the Gap nor manipulate it.’

Neo frowned slightly, recalling something.

"Wait a second, I was able to see the other dimensions when I fell through the Gap. How could I do it if I couldn’t perceive the higher dimensions?"

’When you enter another dimension, your frequency is adjusted to match it.’

’That was why you were able to perceive the worlds when you entered them. In exchange, you couldn’t perceive your original world since your frequency had changed.’

The Space Elementals explained with the patience of a teacher addressing a child.

They ensured their words were simple and easy to understand.

’Although you can’t perceive the Gap, it still exists. And since it exists, you can interact with it.’

The Gap could be thought of as hard clay.

Stronger children—those with Space Affinity—could touch the clay (interact with it) and change its shape (manipulate it) since they had the strength to do so (they had Space Affinity).

Normal children—those without Space Affinity—could touch the clay (interact with it), but they could not change its shape (not manipulate it) since they lacked the strength (lacked Space Affinity) to do so.

’If you try to enter the Gap, you will fall into it uncontrollably. That can never change.’
