"Whew..." He-El exhaled, controlling Kolon Novo's body. He curled the fingers of both hands, his spine rising like a great dragon. His gaze was profound, his body robust. The genetic information within told him that this Monitor body could use its physical genes alone to operate part of the universe's governing logic.
Only now did the Monitors' genes truly begin to show their effect.
At this level, the bodily strength of a Monitor could no longer be measured simply in terms of energy.
In three dimensions, one could calculate a living being's strength by the mass-energy of a planet, a star system, or a galaxy.
But in five-dimensional space, especially within the Monitor Domain, calculations based solely on energy were far too crude.
Within the five dimensions of the Monitor Domain, the strength of a Level Three Source Universe Overseer was measured by how much cosmic logic they could wield, as well as the thought processes behind that use—their instantaneous understanding of the universe.
The Monitor race coveted Source Universes and wished to become Source Universes themselves. Their strength depended on how much of the universe's logic they could use.
Within a universe, whether one possessed stellar-level or galactic-level power, they could not defeat a Monitor who directly wielded cosmic logic to alter the universe's reality.
All particles, energy, spirit... were merely obvious, superficial existences within the universe. What truly lay deep beneath was the universe's underlying operational logic.
Although Level Three Source Universe Overseers could not reach the underlying operational logic of a Source Universe, they could still use some operational logic that did not involve those foundations.
It was equivalent to directly obtaining partial authorization over the Infinity Stones.
How much one could accomplish depended on one's own ability.
Being able to reach this extent through the physical
