After showing Sebastian around Orchis for a bit, the two of them split up.
Kyle needed to become a Unique and Legendary Crusher, while Sebastian wanted to make some progress on the Law of Major Lightning.
The Law of Major Lightning was a Level Six Law. It was extremely rare for any Sage to even look at Pure Level Six Laws, but Sebastian didn't care. His entire path revolved around lightning, and he had already committed to it.
Additionally, Sebastian had a unique advantage in comprehending lightning.
He didn't need a Law Well.
The Elemental Dimension was the best place to comprehend the Elements, and with his Lightning Elemental, Sebastian could scout the Elemental Dimension before going there. Additionally, he also felt what the Lightning Elemental felt.
While Sebastian's Elemental could shoot through the levels up to the peak of the Seventh Realm, it couldn't advance any further. At some point, his Elemental just stopped growing.
The reason for that was Sebastian's Realm. Technically, Elementals could go up all the way to the Twelfth Realm, but that came with a change of their composition. An Elemental made of Spacetime Lightning couldn't reach the Eighth Realm without transforming into a Major Lightning Elemental.
Usually, Elementals automatically changed their composition as they grew stronger, but Sebastian's Elemental couldn't do that. Well, it could, but if Sebastian allowed it to, he would die. After all, he only knew the Law of Spacetime Lightning. His Elemental constantly sent Spacetime Lightning to Sebastian, which coursed through his body.
While Sebastian's body was adapted to Spacetime Lightning, it wasn't adapted to Major Lightning, and he couldn't adapt it until he knew how it worked. Only by understanding how Major Lightning worked could Sebastian change his body again. Then, after he had done that, he would be able to transform his Elemental as well.
A common question amongst new members of the Cult of Final Fate involved Elementals. Many Tertiary Worlds had people who controlled and used Elementals. Was that not possible in the Supreme World?
Of course, over the long history of the Supreme World, countless powerful Seekers had tried to control Elementals for their uses. Controlling the Elementals wasn't the issue. Even people in the Tertiary World had accomplished that. It was simply impossible to make this act of controlling them useful for a couple of reasons.
The first reason was the barrier between Dimensions. The Elemental Dimension was the second-lowest Dimension, and there was also the Beast Dimension between it and the Main Dimension.
Descending Dimensions was easy, but ascending Dimensions was hard. While a Sage could go to the Elemental Dimension and return easily, they wouldn't be able to pull their Elemental with them to the Main Dimension. The Dimensional Barriers in the Supreme World were vastly more powerful than the ones in the Tertiary World.
Tertiary Worlds had their own little Dimensions, but they were so thin and fragile that they didn't even isolate their Elemental Dimension from their Main Dimension. The fact that Kyle had seen plenty of Earth and Metal Elementals in the Tertiary World showed as much.
The next issue was controlling the Elementals across Dimensions. Sure, a Sage could control a weaker Elemental when they were inside the Elemental Dimension, but how could they keep controlling it after leaving? There were no multi-dimensional Formation Arrays. If a Sage wanted an Elemental, they needed to get one inside the Elemental Dimension and give it back after leaving.
Immortals might have the power to summon an Elemental and even control it across Dimensions, but why go through so much trouble? Any Elemental useful to an Immortal had to be in the Tenth Realm as well, and pulling an Elemental with such power into the Immortal Dimension would cost more Energy than it was worth.
Additionally, even if the Elemental were useful in battle, the Immortal would have issues in gaining Momentum. After all, if their Elemental died, nothing of value would be lost.
Lastly, Elementals were only of partial use when it came to comprehending their Laws. They could act as Law Wells, but the Immortal Dimension already had Law Wells. Compared to Sebastian, the Immortals also didn't sense what their Elementals were sensing.
None of these issues affected Sebastian for one simple reason.
His Elemental was part of himself.
Since it was part of him, he could just summon it to any Dimension. After all, he was supposed to be there, and the Elemental was him. Therefore, the Elemental was supposed to be there as well.
If his Elemental died, he died. This solved the problem with his Momentum.
Lastly, since he could sense what the Elemental was sensing, he also benefited greatly when it came to his Law Comprehension.
With Sebastian's unique situation came unique advantages. He could grow in ways other Seekers could only dream of. For example, there was a realistic chance that he would succeed in comprehending the Law of Major Lightning as a Sage, which was almost unheard of.
However, while this path looked very promising, there were also uncertainties and challenges.
For example, any other Elemental Law could interfere with the connection between Sebastian and his Elemental. Another problem was the creation of an Avatar in the Fusion Realm. How would that work? Would the Elemental mess with the split? Would it need to split as well? What if the Core Spark in his Elemental didn't split? How would that affect the power of his Avatars?
Luckily, that didn't matter for now. These were problems for the future.
While Sebastian was focusing on the Level Six Law of Major Lightning, Kyle found a place to compress the Energy in his Center.
After some asking around, Kyle learned that he could just build a home. As long as it was painted appropriately and didn't mess with the layout, he could build whatever he wanted.
Because of that, he just went to the edge of the base and conjured some relatively cheap metals to make a white house. Nobody paid him any mind or asked any questions.
As Kyle sat down in his house, he took a deep breath. 'Finally, I have time to focus on my Laws and my Realm. I don't have to look over my shoulder constantly anymore.'
'I've waited for long enough,' he thought as he summoned a bunch of Energy Stones.
'Becoming a Unique Crusher should take a century. Not sure if I also need a century to become a Legendary Crusher or if it happens automatically. Apparently, it's different for everyone.
Kyle frowned. 'From what I've heard, my messages will reach my friends within the next couple of decades, but I probably won't get my answer for a couple of centuries. I'm not a big fan of uncertainty, but whatcha gonna do?'
'At least, I'm not alone anymore. Even if all of my other friends refuse, Sebastian will still be there. Not gonna lie, it feels kinda exciting to go to an unknown Primary World with Sebastian. Feels like a proper adventure.'
'Not sure how much time I will have after I arrive in the Primary World. I will probably be quite busy.'
'Oh well, I wanted to be more amongst people anyway. I shouldn't complain.'
Then, Kyle started to consume the Energy Stones.
