There were countless stars in the universe, but when he looked for himself, even the sun seemed to be held captive by an immense force, as though it were orbiting something else.
He thought of the four fundamental forces in alchemy: the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and gravity.
Back within the world, he had not been able to see much. Only after coming to the universe did he realize that everything in this world seemed to operate through these four fundamental forms. The most obvious example was the faint particles that could enter his body.
Back in Elfa World, Dole had discovered these tiny things. Later, the power of lightning had also been constructed around these fundamental particles, vastly increasing its might. He had never been entirely clear about what these things were for before, but now it seemed that only here could one sense the true essence of conversion between energy and matter.
Just then, Dole looked up. An explosion suddenly erupted in the expanse ahead.
There was no sound. All he could see was an explosion suddenly occur in one region amidst the meteors. Along with it, Dole sensed two immensely powerful life auras abruptly erupt there, each unleashing its strongest attacks at the other.
One was dark, evil, and terrifying; the other brimmed with the aura of storms. Two resplendent energies collided, battled, and annihilated each other amid the meteors. Vast swathes of meteors were wiped out, while others were blasted away to drift in all directions.
Within several hundred kilometers, nearly every meteor that touched those forces was swept clean away, exposing the erupting region at the center.
The next moment, two more forces erupted elsewhere, shoving away the surrounding meteors, blowing them apart, or annihilating them outright.
Each time, it affected
