A fireball sat at the center. A few particles, countless specks of dust, circled around it, forming a domain of their own; then they gathered and flew, grinding through deep space toward an unfathomably distant place. Within this domain, void creatures and Magneto-Optical Mica wove their nets, constantly drawing in the radiance emitted by the "fireball," attempting to expand, only to contract again for various reasons.
Between expansion and contraction lay a rhythm utterly different from the stillness of this domain, this star system.
This was Magneto-Optical Mica's rhythm of activity, the rippling fine waves it created in the Real Universe by simultaneously interfering with the "Material Layer" and the "Transition Layer." Stable ripples would be branded onto the "Law Layer" in a simpler, more abstract form, such as "Law Hook Lines," to be grasped by Great Almighties who stood high above, or powerful figures close to becoming one.
Ronan was not entirely above it all. If he was, it was only temporary. More often, he switched to Magneto-Optical Mica's perspective and observed this stretch of starry sky.
Yet the sensation was not quite the same.
Most material structures, including the celestial bodies within the region and even the void itself, became vague shadows and smoke, swirling and steaming. Within those smoky shadows stood intersecting Fluorescence Lines. Compared to the vast starry sky, they seemed incomparably slender and fragile, trembling constantly, endlessly adhering to one another, and liable to collapse at any moment.
This was how Magneto-Optical Mica viewed the universe.
Ronan had known this before, but only after mastering the Bankrupt Version of Gods' Eye of the Law did he realize that these "Fluorescence Lines" basically overlapped with the "Law Hook Lines." Yet they were not simple reproductions. They had undergone extensive refinement and trimming, gathering and integrating into
