421: Trial of Concepts
|
||
|
||
Deep within him, his previously comprehended auras began to stir—all of his level 3 auras, ones he had worked tirelessly to grasp over time.
|
||
|
||
They weren’t just reacting—they were resonating.
|
||
|
||
Lightning, Flames, Space, Sword… all of them began to shimmer faintly around him, drawn to the energy flowing from these ghostly monoliths.
|
||
|
||
“All my level 3 auras… they’re resonating with these monoliths!” Max whispered in disbelief, his voice echoing through the empty, glowing expanse.
|
||
|
||
And then, as if a veil had been lifted, understanding slammed into him like a bolt of lightning.
|
||
|
||
“Don’t tell me…” he muttered, turning slowly to take in the impossible scope of the realm around him.
|
||
|
||
His eyes widened as realization dawned.
|
||
|
||
“These monoliths… they contain Concepts—the higher forms of laws!”
|
||
|
||
That was the only explanation that made sense.
|
||
|
||
These weren’t ordinary structures.
|
||
|
||
Each one held a truth, a fragment of cosmic principle beyond mere auras.
|
||
|
||
They weren’t just reacting to his understanding—they were responding to his potential to evolve.
|
||
|
||
The Pillar of Divine Appraisal hadn’t just judged his talent.
|
||
|
||
It had brought him here—to the place where truths lived.
|
||
|
||
Where laws evolved into Concepts.
|
||
|
||
And where he, if he could endure it, would rise beyond limits.
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes scanned each of the monoliths before he closed his eyes sensing the one monolith that had been resonating the most.
|
||
|
||
Opening his eyes he spotted the one, and arrived in front of him.
|
||
|
||
“This monolith is resonating with me the most.” Max muttered gently touching the monolith.
|
||
|
||
“This…
|
||
|
||
This is the power of space…
|
||
|
||
Concept of Space!” Max blurted out in shock but before he could react, the other monoliths around him disappeared leaving him with the space monolith.
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes moved slowly across the endless expanse, scanning each of the glowing blue monoliths, his heart thudding with anticipation.
|
||
|
||
Each one radiated its own unique presence, distinct yet incomprehensibly profound.
|
||
|
||
But amidst the quiet sea of light, he could feel it—one monolith in particular, pulsing more intensely than the others, resonating with something deep inside him.
|
||
|
||
He closed his eyes, letting the ambient energy wash over him as he attuned himself to the silent song of the realm.
|
||
|
||
The pull wasn’t violent or overpowering—it was subtle, but undeniable.
|
||
|
||
A thread of familiarity tugged gently at his soul, guiding him like a whisper in the void.
|
||
|
||
When he opened his eyes, they gleamed with clarity.
|
||
|
||
There it was—just a few steps away—one monolith glowing more brightly than the rest, its light shifting with faint ripples, as though it were bending the very air around it.
|
||
|
||
Max walked forward, his pace steady, drawn to it as if his entire being demanded it.
|
||
|
||
He stopped in front of the monolith, and without hesitation, extended his hand toward its luminous surface.
|
||
|
||
“This monolith is resonating with me the most,” he murmured, his voice laced with awe as his fingers made contact.
|
||
|
||
The moment his hand touched the surface, a wave of energy surged through him, and his breath caught in his throat.
|
||
|
||
The space around him rippled.
|
||
|
||
Reality itself seemed to bend and stretch ever so slightly.
|
||
|
||
And then, as the realization struck him, his eyes widened.
|
||
|
||
“This… this is the power of Space…” he breathed.
|
||
|
||
“The Concept of Space!” His voice cracked with disbelief.
|
||
|
||
This wasn’t an elemental law, not something rudimentary or even advanced.
|
||
|
||
This was the foundation of distance, dimension, position—the very fabric of existence.
|
||
|
||
Just as the weight of that understanding began to settle on him, the rest of the world shifted.
|
||
|
||
Without warning, the other monoliths faded, one after another, their light extinguishing like dying stars until only one remained—the monolith of Space.
|
||
|
||
Alone in a boundless void with nothing but this overwhelming presence before him, Max felt the full attention of the Concept focus entirely on him.
|
||
|
||
“Don’t tell me… I can only comprehend one at a time?” Max muttered, his expression darkening with slight annoyance as he glanced around, confirming that the other monoliths had indeed vanished without a trace.
|
||
|
||
A vast expanse of emptiness now surrounded him, leaving only the single glowing pillar of light—the Monolith of Space.
|
||
|
||
But he didn’t let the disappointment linger for long.
|
||
|
||
His gaze steadied, and he turned his full attention back to the monolith before him.
|
||
|
||
With his hand still pressed against its surface, he let out a quiet breath, pushing all distractions from his mind.
|
||
|
||
“So, the Pillar of Divine Appraisal assesses one’s talent through comprehension of laws…” he whispered to himself, the truth slowly unraveling in his mind.
|
||
|
||
Not just surface-level talent—not battle strength or potential energy—but one’s connection to the very fabric of reality.
|
||
|
||
This was far beyond ranks.
|
||
|
||
This was comprehension at the most primal level.
|
||
|
||
Max focused.
|
||
|
||
He let his thoughts go still.
|
||
|
||
The moment he shut off the noise within him, something began to shift.
|
||
|
||
He didn’t just see the monolith—he felt it.
|
||
|
||
Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the glowing structure in front of him ceased to be just a construct of light.
|
||
|
||
It became a window, a tunnel, a portal.
|
||
|
||
The world around him faded, colors draining from the edges of his vision.
|
||
|
||
The floor beneath him no longer felt solid.
|
||
|
||
The air, once cool, vanished altogether.
|
||
|
||
He was no longer standing on a floor.
|
||
|
||
He was suspended.
|
||
|
||
Weightless.
|
||
|
||
Reality bent.
|
||
|
||
Distance stretched and contracted.
|
||
|
||
The laws he had always taken for granted—up and down, near and far—began to blur.
|
||
|
||
He didn’t know when it happened, but his body relaxed, and his consciousness began to drift, pulled deeper into the monolith’s pulse.
|
||
|
||
Thoughts faded.
|
||
|
||
Time felt meaningless.
|
||
|
||
He wasn’t Max anymore—he was simply awareness, flowing inside the Concept of Space.
|
||
|
||
Every breath, every heartbeat, every thought was absorbed into that singular comprehension.
|
||
|
||
The Tower had drawn him in completely.
|
||
|
||
And in that stillness, in that void of distractions, Max began to understand the profoundness of space.
|
||
|
||
—
|
||
|
||
Outside the Pillar of Divine Appraisal, a tense stillness had spread across the gathering of elites from all three races.
|
||
|
||
The earlier shock of Alice Phoenixheart, a human from a foreign continent, reaching the second line had not yet faded, and now, with another human stepping into the pillar, the air grew thick with silent anticipation.
|
||
|
||
All eyes were locked onto the towering monolith, its vast surface glowing with names of prodigies past and present.
|
||
|
||
Conversations had quieted to murmurs, and the air buzzed with a quiet, collective focus.
|
||
|
||
The humans stood rigid with hope and pride, while the elves observed with guarded curiosity, and the demons clenched their jaws, already bracing for what might follow.
