Manifested gems hung across the river of stars, gleaming with beautiful radiance.
Lucy continuously probed the gems manifested from various cosmic forces, sensing the cosmic forces within each one.
A single force was unimaginable. No force could truly be separated from the others; forces complemented one another.
Take friction, for example. It contained gravity, electromagnetic force, and all manner of contact. Only when the inherent forces of two particles came into contact could friction arise.
Yet here in He-El's universe, a single force could independently become a gem, manifested as one separate force—and it was still correct according to what Lucy knew.
This miraculous method of display was simply eye-opening for Lucy. For the first time, she felt that even when she had nearly merged with the universe, she had never seen such a magnificent sight.
She had originally believed she had seen enough phenomena related to the universe—matter, particles, the Four Fundamental Forces, Wave-Particle Duality, and so on—but she had truly never seen anything like this.
Individual forces remained independent, yet they cooperated with other independent forces and could even produce effects opposite to those of the universe. Lucy was stunned again and again.
Th-this... this... this defied common sense. This wasn't scientific!
This universe was far too miraculous.
Everything about He-El's universe left Lucy's eyes clouded with bewilderment.
"The independent operation of a universe naturally follows certain laws. But when the laws of two or more universes operate together, the result appears both miraculous and reasonable. No one can understand such a method. It is neither an embedded form in which each loses a portion of itself, nor a forced fusion in which each suffers a loss, nor an overlapping form layered upon layer, and of course, it is not a dimensional division in which each exists separately
