(PS: The past two days' updates have both combined two chapters into one. I'll be returning from Inner Mongolia to Chongqing soon, and then I'll resume the pace of two to three updates a day.)
No, did you really... cut through the Milky Way!?
That wasn't a figure of speech, was it? It wasn't some comparison or manifestation of Mystery?
You actually took a blade and split the Milky Way apart!?
This world had a Milky Way. One only needed to look up at the sky to see it. In fact, most Earth-like, planet-like Dream Worlds possessed outer space, stars, galaxies, and such. But nearly all of that cosmic space was actually a projection of the Absolute True Layer. It could only be seen, not truly reached. At most, the Milky Way existed. The Warhammer Dream World was like this—the Void lay beyond the Milky Way.
But if it could be seen and observed, then the concept of the universe existed. Naturally, everyone knew just how enormous and terrifying the Milky Way was. To literally cleave apart the Milky Way... that concept surpassed even the limits of Mystery.
That was right. Mystery could encompass all things, even something like the creation of heaven and earth. For example, one Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm had condensed from the very concept of creating heaven and earth. Its power was immense, nearly standing at the pinnacle of Noble Phantasms.
But in the end, that was merely the inclusion of a mysterious concept. It definitely had nothing whatsoever to do with truly creating heaven and earth, and its power certainly could not genuinely do so.
