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.
