What was a true great being?
Put simply.
It was one who could accomplish what could not be accomplished.
One who could make all manner of unreasonable things reasonable.
One who could make all manner of utterly impossible things possible.
That was the most fundamental requirement.
It was by no means merely some so-called change in scale, or simple upgrades through piling on numbers.
Level 2 was ten thousand times stronger than Level 1, Level 3 was a million times stronger than Level 2, Level 4 was a hundred million times stronger than Level 3...
Simple changes in strength would forever be nothing more than an insignificant variable.
When they did not touch upon essence, they were like a sheet of paper whose contents could be altered at will, possessing no decisive significance.
You could write in however many levels you wanted.
At most, they could bully the weak.
They were of no use whatsoever against the strong.
When you could accomplish every matter, disregarding all its prerequisites and disregarding all that was reasonable or unreasonable within it.
Then you would inevitably have become the true strongest!!
With no enemies left!!
With no difficulties left!!
Everything would become something that could be changed with but a few thoughts of yours...
That was the ultimate path, and the final goal—or dream—of countless beings...
In this regard.

And the Unity Council was an organization formed by many beings in pursuit of that ultimate goal.
Although, even now, as a professionally despicable freeloader, Orsaga still had not joined it.
He knew very well that he would probably join sooner or later.
It could be early,
