In the void, a mountain-sized black giant floated within the Sea of Aether.
Wave after wave of energy rippled from his body, continuously stirring the Sea of Aether into undulations, like breathing—the tides rising and falling.
This was Richard's first serious attempt at fusing Rules.
Before this, Richard had always relied on the Miracle Furnace to fuse Rules.
He had never experienced just how slow Rule fusion could be.
The Gravity Rule and the Four Elements Rule were actually quite compatible. Even so, the sluggishness of the fusion made Richard understand why so many Great Wizards needed thousands of years, one or two epochs, or even longer to advance.
Under the effect of the Disintegration Force Field, the Gravity Rule had been broken down into tiny fragments.
How tiny were those fragments?
Even the Flesh and Blood Rule Richard had acquired years ago had been larger than them.
Yet even such minuscule fragments, fused with the fairly compatible Four Elements Rule, had taken a full seven days to complete.
The re-editing process had consumed nearly another month.
Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly.
