[New Right Unlocked]
[Right to Equalize (Active)]
[Description: Within the Absolute Domain, forcibly reduce imbalance between the Executor and selected targets. Excessive advantages possessed by the target are continuously suppressed toward equilibrium under the authority of the domain. ]
[Effects:]
→ Weakens overwhelming stat disparities
→ Reduces domain superiority over time
→ Destabilizes excessive law amplification
→ Stronger against targets slightly exceeding the Executor in power
I stared at the notification quietly while understanding flowed naturally into my mind.
The Right didn’t simply suppress strength. It imposed balance itself upon reality within my domain. The difference between me and the opponent, the stronger the pressure of equalization became.
Then the second notification appeared.
[New Right Unlocked]
[Right to Decay (Active)]
[Description: Within the Absolute Domain, selected targets undergo continuous degradation under the Executor’s authority. Essence weakens, structures lose stability, laws deteriorate, and regeneration slows progressively over time.
[Effects:]
→ Weakens Essence circulation
→ Accelerates structural instability
→ Suppresses regeneration and recovery
→ Destabilizes sustained manifestations
→ Domain pressure intensifies degradation continuously
This time the ocean floor beneath me cracked slightly. The surrounding stone simply began eroding beneath the passive pressure leaking from the Right before stabilizing again once I restrained it instinctively.
I exhaled slowly and looked at the description of already existing rights.
[Right to Insight (Active)]:
Within the Absolute Domain, be it skill, movement, law, or anomaly, truth is revealed to you. The hidden structure of its execution is laid bare before your Psynapse: the flow of Essence, the involved laws, and the underlying intent. Scales with Psynapse.
[Right to Isolate (Active)]:
Within the Absolute Domain, sever the target from its connections—be they Essence flows, elemental bonds, laws, domains, or even the will of its wielder. Once isolated, the target exists in a sealed state where no external force can aid, alter, or reinforce it. Scales with Psynapse and Essence control.
[Right to Anchor: Within the Domain, select any physical, elemental, or law-based condition and bind it to a fixed state. While anchored, it cannot rise, fall, speed up, slow down, or transform until the Executor releases it.]
Every Right represented authority instead of raw destruction, and together they transformed the domain into something far more dangerous than simple overwhelming power.
I slowly raised one hand in front of me.
The silver-violet domain spread outward faintly through the abyss.
And immediately, the surrounding pressure equalized.
The violent ocean currents thousands of meters above stabilized unnaturally while the essence fluctuations across the seabed weakened beneath the domain’s influence. At the same time faint erosion marks began spreading slowly across nearby rocks before stopping the moment I released the Rights.
A smile formed on my face.
"Now this..." I muttered softly while looking at my hand, "feels like a Saint."
After the notifications faded, I closed the system panel and shifted my awareness inward instead toward the Dawn Core.
The moment my perception entered the inner world contained within it, I immediately noticed the change.
The entire space had expanded again.
The skies stretched farther than before while the landscape beneath had become vastly larger, continents spreading endlessly beneath rivers of flowing essence that moved through the world like glowing veins. The atmosphere itself felt heavier now, not oppressive, but stable in a way the previous version never had been.
At the center of the inner world, the volcanoes stood silently. The manifestations of my laws.
Each massive volcanic structure radiated its own presence while essence storms drifted around their peaks continuously, but now faint silver lines ran across the surface of every volcano like glowing cracks spreading through ancient mountains representing Saint transformation.
The laws themselves had evolved alongside me.
I observed quietly as golden energy erupted from within the volcanoes in rhythmic pulses, flowing outward through the inner world before converging naturally toward the Generator Core.
The process looked completely different now.
Before Saint rank, the Generator Core simply absorbed energy and refined essence.
Now, it resembled a living star.
It pulsed with silver-violet light while layers of laws revolved around it continuously, absorbing the golden energy released by the law volcanoes before compressing it further and further within its center.
Then the transformation happened.
The golden energy condensed violently before changing color entirely. Silver-violet Soul Force emerged from the Generator Core in smooth flowing streams, denser and infinitely heavier than ordinary essence while carrying traces of my own existence within it.
The Soul Force rose naturally afterward. The streams drifted upward through the inner world before merging directly into my gigantic soul suspended in my soul space.
And the moment the Soul Force entered the soul, the pressure of my existence increased slightly again.
I watched the entire cycle silently for several moments.
The laws generated energy.
The Generator refined it.
Soul Force was created.
Then fed directly into my soul and existence permanently. A self-sustaining evolution system.
The more I fought, consumed, understood, and evolved, the denser my existence would become.
I slowly withdrew my awareness from the Dawn Core afterward and opened my eyes once more beneath the ocean.
The abyss around me remained completely silent. The pressure of my existence had settled so deeply into the surrounding region that even the ocean itself no longer behaved normally near me.
For a few moments I remained motionless at the seabed before finally stepping upward.
The ocean split apart around me as I ascended through the depths, silver-violet essence trailing behind my body while the pressure surrounding me distorted the water continuously during the ascent. Higher and higher I moved until sunlight finally pierced through the dark blue around me again.
Then I broke through the surface. The sea exploded outward beneath my feet while waves rolled across the surrounding ocean in enormous circles.
High above the water, Vivi waited silently.
The moment her eyes landed on me, her expression shifted slightly. She could feel the difference now.
I stepped onto empty space above the ocean while silver-violet essence drifted faintly around my body before gradually fading back beneath my skin.
For a few seconds neither of us spoke.
Then Vivi exhaled softly.
"You really changed. A Saint transformation is really unique."
Her voice carried unusual seriousness now.
Before I could answer, space nearby distorted violently and Ragnar appeared through a spatial tear in a burst of crimson-gold aura, clearly having rushed over the moment the breakthrough stabilized.
But the instant he arrived, he stopped.
His expression hardened immediately while his eyes narrowed toward me.
"...What the hell."
I looked toward both of them quietly.
And for the first time I truly saw them.
My perception moved naturally across their existence without conscious effort. Laws flowed around their bodies in visible currents while their souls pulsed faintly beneath the surface. I could see Ragnar’s violent essence circulation, the heavy pressure carried within his bloodline, and the intertwining laws wrapped around his body.
At the same time, Vivi looked even stranger.
The Blue Spiral itself resonated through her existence continuously like countless invisible threads connecting her to the galaxy.
Then I noticed something else. Tiny signatures within both of them, pieces of my own soul.
The contracts binding my summons to me had become visible now that my soul had fully descended into reality. Silver-violet threads stretched faintly between us while traces of my own soul signature remained imprinted deep within their existence.
Ragnar frowned immediately after seeing my expression.
"Why are you looking at us like that?"
I blinked once before the deeper perception faded slightly back beneath the surface.
"Nothing," I replied calmly. "I was just observing something new."
Vivi tilted her head slightly.
"You can see more now, can’t you?"
I nodded slowly.
"Much more."
Ragnar crossed his arms while still studying me carefully.
"No," he muttered. "This isn’t just stronger. Your entire presence feels different now."
Vivi stared at me for another few seconds before smiling softly.
"Well," she said quietly, "welcome to Saint rank."
I nodded with a smile.
"Now that I’m done," I said while looking between Vivi and Ragnar, "why don’t the rest of you start as well."
Then I looked toward Ragnar and gave him a slight grin.
He immediately understood what I meant. A wide smile spread across his face while the violent aura around him stirred excitedly.
"Ohh," he chuckled deeply, "now that sounds good."
The air around him distorted slightly from anticipation alone.
"I’ve been waiting for this for a long time."
I smiled faintly before raising one hand.
