The world was made up of formulas.
That was the final conclusion Roland had reached.
Having started out with Contract Spirits such as Stands and Dark Chi, whose displays were understated but pointed straight to the essence of the world, Roland had great potential for understanding concepts and Authorities.
The Nasuverse, which valued access rights over sheer magnitude, had also invisibly amplified this advantage.
From Soul Materialization to Beast VI, then binding the world's fate to himself through Made in Heaven-even Shiki Ryougi, who represented the personification of the Root, had stood on his side.
This had laid the foundation for Roland to modify reality through his own will, allowing him to devour Kama and advance toward the principle of humanity's evil.
And back then, he had already dimly glimpsed the beginnings of this conclusion.
His ability to modify reality was constructed from a Reality Marble that eroded the world with his inner self, supplemented by the access rights granted by having someone backing him, and the understanding of concepts he had accumulated thus far.
Then, if he compared this ability against reality in reverse, could he further free himself from his bodily limitations?
Just like the Third Magic, the AT Field, and even the Book of Revelation Virus: although their origins differed, their forms were extremely similar.
