"I have completely mastered the Spacetime Rule. In my hands, spacetime is like dough—I can knead and reshape it however I please. Spacetime simply has no way to affect me."
"Therefore, when I use the corresponding power of the Rule, the one paying the price isn't me, the one wielding it, but the Spacetime Rule as a whole!"
"The Progenitor King is completely different. Although the Progenitor King possesses power that transcends the Spacetime Rule, it hasn't fully mastered spacetime itself. So when it interferes with spacetime's normal operation, it has to resist the backlash with its own power!"
The fundamental difference between his Half-Ninth Level and the Progenitor King's left Green lowering his head and pondering carefully.
This difference in their fundamental natures showed that he was unlike a conventional Half-Ninth-Level Life. And since he hadn't advanced to Half-Ninth Level through the normal path, Green began to wonder whether he was truly a Half-Ninth-Level Life.
"A Half-Ninth-Level Life must be a Half-Transcendent. But a Half-Transcendent isn't necessarily a Half-Ninth-Level Life!" Green murmured inwardly, gradually coming to understand.
"Just as I predicted from the start, although the power I possess is incredibly strong—even surpassing that of ordinary Half-Ninth-Level beings—in essence, I'm still an Eighth-Level Life. Yet through the power of the Spacetime Rule, I've gained the qualities of a Half-Ninth-Level Life, a Half-Transcendent, ahead of time. I've even surpassed ordinary Half-Ninth-Level Life in this regard!"
Green was, if anything, extremely satisfied with this result, because it meant his True Body still had plenty of room to grow.
Before the Endless Void began to contract and dry up, his power could continue to grow.
That would give him a greater advantage against the other Half-Ninth-Level Civilizations when the Void Era's End arrived.
In the enormous hall, countless Top Devils watched
