187. Nine worlds and behind-the-scenes dimensions
"The dimensions of the universe as we know it are extremely limited," Hevin said.
Kelly nodded:
"Um."
Hevin spread a huge map on the table.
This is not a specific geographical map, but an abstract conceptual map, and the content intended to be expressed on the map cannot be depicted with lines and color blocks.
The professor asked:
"Tell me again, what do you call that ability."
Kelly looked a little nervous, maybe because this was the first time she talked about her most important secret with others:
"Behind-the-scenes vision, this ability is innate. I was able to recognize the disguised Professor Hewen before because I have used this vision to see your disguised image, and your behind-the-scenes image has appeared before my eyes.
There are many different types appearing in it.”
Hewen nodded:
"The word behind-the-scenes vision is really accurate. Maybe it was some kind of supernatural intuition that made you name your ability with this word, but you said you have seen other images of me?"
Kelly nodded and explained:
"Yes, when I first met you, in my eyes, you were a man with six spider arms, a hollow on your chest, and your skin was filled with madness and monsters.
"Honestly, your body structure has a kind of beauty that I can't accurately describe, but overall, the monster-like evil and madness is still the upper hand. At first, I just thought that you had been hurt in the past and were polite.
Underneath the surface lies repressive madness.”
Hewen nodded:
"Are there multiple images? Is this common in your vision?"
Kelly shook her head:
"To be precise, there are only two people with multiple images. One is you, the professor, and the other is a weird and free-spirited beauty."
Kelly hesitated for a moment, but still did not say that Hala had also changed. Strictly speaking, it was not a variety of images, but an unfixed image.
As far as Hewen knows, all living things will have a fixed image when they enter the background. This image depends on many reasons, and the behind-the-scenes image of different life forms can be composed of different factors.
As long as a few biological individuals appear in different images behind the scenes, this may happen to a small number of patients with multiple personality disorder and polysomnia.
As for the reason why he has two images?
He didn't just have two images, what Kelly saw was the appearance he decided to adopt when he went deep into the behind-the-scenes dimension.
That's right, behind-the-scenes vision is not some kind of spiritual vision that can analyze everything in the world, but can really see another world.
Now Hevin has pretty much established that this vision was no coincidence:
"You also mentioned a curved advance method?"
Kelly added:
"Curve or polyline."
Hewen asked:
"What does it feel like?"
Kelly looked confused, and it seemed difficult to explain this weird way of moving in English.
"Well, it probably means that I can see some basic physical laws that are usually invisible. Of course, I don't know if this rule is consistent with physics. In short, a rule that humans cannot grasp and know can be realized.
The way spread out before my eyes.
"Actually, I don't know the principle of movement, but I can barely follow the visual route."
Hewen pointed his finger at the table:
"In other words, although you think this is a very profound law of the universe, you don't understand its principles. You just follow your instinct and use this law?"
Kelly agreed:
"That's roughly it."
Hevin first pointed to the map on the table.
Nine huge spheres are arranged in a manner that conforms to mathematical rules.
"Astronomers and modern physicists are full of curiosity about the world outside the atmosphere, and are trying their best to fill in our one-sided understanding of the universe."
Hevin points to the middle sphere:
"Midgard, Midgard, or Erens, the planet beneath our feet.
"But although Midgard means the whole of Erens, it actually refers to the continent under our feet. There is no problem with either usage."
Kelly looked at several other planets:
"Is this a planet near us?"
Hewen paused:
"Yes, and no, you can't build an aircraft, and then just rush out of the atmosphere and fly to eight other worlds. They are not like some worlds that revolve around the sun in the material universe, but rely on the World Tree."
"The World Tree Yggdrasil is in a dimension very close to our universe. The nine worlds rest on it at the same time, and the same is true for Midgard.
"The human world is a special case among the nine worlds. Midgard exists here, on the World Tree, and in our universe at the same time. The World Tree dimension can be said to be a dimension that is entrusted to the main material universe through Ellen.
"But a more correct statement is that the Nine Worlds were originally part of the main material universe, but after a certain ancient war, they separated from the main universe and exist in a more detached and convenient form."
This is why Odin once led the gods and giants to form an alliance to fight against the enemy above the stars, because the atrium is the most important part of the World Tree, the part connected to reality.
If the atrium falls, the eight worlds are likely to leave the safe zone and return to the attack range of the enemies in the real universe.
Hewen said:
"This is a dimension, and it is also the dimension closest to us, and the behind-the-scenes scene you see is actually another dimension, which we call the behind-the-scenes world."
Kelly asked:
"The world behind the scenes."
Hewen pointed to another area on the map, an area parallel to the World Tree system constructed from the nine worlds. That area was filled with a large number of blurred colors and distorted graphics.
"The behind-the-scenes world is called this because there is only a curtain between this world and our universe.
"It stands to reason that although this world is very similar to our universe, the life forms in the main universe do not exist behind the scenes at the same time. In other words, if what you see is the real behind-the-scenes universe, there should be no human projections
That's right.
"So what you see is not the complete behind-the-scenes dimension, but what the thing in front of you would look like if it were behind the scenes.
"After all, the image of most people behind the scenes will be completely different from the original one, and through your description of my image, I can roughly confirm that this is the case."
Kelly murmured:
"Another world? The illusion I have always seen turns out to be this kind of thing. So what is the real universe behind the scenes?"
Hevin could detect a strong desire for knowledge and exploration from this sentence.
