424: Enlightenment

424: Enlightenment

“I understand,” Max said, his voice calm yet filled with a newfound clarity, even as spatial tears howled around him like shrieking blades of the void.

“Thanks, Blob… for guiding me right now.” There was no resentment, no defensiveness—only quiet acceptance.

“As you’ve said… I completely forgot about sword and fire auras,” he continued, eyes scanning the storm of dimensional rifts that surged ever closer, “the ones I learned at the very beginning.

They were my foundation… my edge.”

His lips curled slightly in something between a grimace and a smile.

“Even lightning and space—two of the most versatile auras I’ve ever touched—I used them so sparingly, so carelessly… just enough to keep moving forward, but never deep enough to master.

I kept telling myself I was building strength, but I was only layering weight I didn’t fully understand.

I kept trying to increase their level without understanding them.”

His mind flooded with memories—his first sword swing imbued with aura, the wild heat of his earliest fire technique, the thrill of moving like a flash of lightning, the moment he first bent space to teleport.

They had once defined him, made him feel alive, but now they were mere fragments, buried beneath a towering mountain of half-understood power.

“I’ll try to focus,” he muttered, more to himself than to Blob now.

“Focus on everything you mentioned.

On what I’ve neglected.

On what really matters.”

But even as those words left his mouth, the time for reflection quickly passed.

His eyes sharpened again, locking on the chaos ahead.

The storm of space tears was closing in, faster, wilder, like a tidal wave of annihilation ready to swallow him whole.

He didn’t have time to wallow in guilt or think of regrets.

The only thing he could afford right now… was action.

Pure, focused, intentional action.

‘Now that I know where I’m lacking…’ Max thought, his gaze hardening as the storm of spatial tears closed in from all directions, swirling like a vortex of death.

But instead of fear, his heart filled with clarity.

‘I can understand where I’m lacking in the space element too…’

The realization sharpened his focus like a blade honed to its edge.

‘Lack of experience… lack of trial and error… lack of experimentation.’

He had treated space like a tool, not a mystery.

He had wielded it without ever understanding it.

And now, as chaos raged around him, he saw what he had never dared to see before.

‘This… this is the best time to experiment.

To explore the unknown.’ To fall, fail, and find something new in the process.

A twisted grin crept across his face, not out of arrogance but pure, unfiltered resolve.

His eyes gleamed with a glint that bordered on madness, a reflection of someone who had finally embraced the storm rather than flee from it.

It was here, in the depths of crisis, where the first door to the realm of Concepts creaked open.

Concepts were not born from simple learning—they were realized through experience, comprehension, and above all, enlightenment.

They weren’t formulas to be memorized, but truths to be felt.

Max now understood that a Concept wasn’t a single law—it was the very essence behind the law, the source code of reality itself.

If Aura was the language, Concept was the meaning.

And if he wanted to grasp the Concept of Space, he couldn’t just run from its chaos or use it like a borrowed power.

He had to live through it.

He had to let it tear into him—not physically, but mentally, spiritually—until he understood what space was.

Space was distance, dimension, separation, and connection.

It was the stillness between movement, the silence between sounds, the invisible canvas upon which all things existed.

And right now, he was caught in its rage—because space was testing if he was worthy of shaping it.

And so, Max stopped running.

He hovered in place, body still, heart pounding, as the tears closed in like jaws ready to clamp shut.

No more fear.

No more hesitation.

If he wanted to touch the Concept, he had to surrender to the unknown, to open his soul and see.

“Let’s find out,” he whispered to the monolith, to the Concept, to himself.

“Let’s see what space really is.”

And in that moment, he began not to run through space—but to walk into it.

Then, one of the space tear hit him.

Pain exploded through his core—not just his body, but his sense of being.

It felt like his very essence was being fragmented, as though pieces of him were being pulled into different directions of existence.

His breath caught, his vision flickered, and then… something shifted.

The pain turned into clarity.

In that brief moment of destruction, Max understood.

Space wasn’t just a field to cross or a void to manipulate.

It was structure.

It was the invisible lattice that held reality together, the threads that connected every atom, every distance, every position.

And Dimensional Severance—the first level Concept of Space—was not about violence.

It was about disconnection.

The ability to unravel the threads that bind everything, to sever those connections at will.

A tear wasn’t simply ripping matter—it was cutting the laws that held it in place.

It was removing the rules that said two points had to be next to each other.

It was rewriting reality.

And in that moment, with blood dripping, his body trembling, and a tear of space still burning through the air before him, Max took a shaky breath and whispered, “I get it now…”

He didn’t just understand space.

He had touched it.

Touched upon the source of Concept.

As Max’s body lay broken, flowing in the space tears waiting to be devoured by all other space tears, his eyes widened in realization.

He understood everything at that moment.

He understood the first level Concept of Space.

And with that understanding, a sudden urge to use a space tear birth in Max’s heart.

‘I’ll just have to create a bigger space tear… one strong enough to swallow them all.’ Max’s thoughts roared through the chaos, burning with determination as the endless swarm of spatial tears closed in around him.
