My attributes are increasing infinitely Chapter 435: Creating the Law of Infinity
Previously on My attributes are increasing infinitely...
Ethan positioned himself cross-legged at the core of the time field, his eyelids shut, exuding a serene yet endlessly expansive aura. The temporal area encircling him had transcended its origins as a simple cultivation formation. It now formed a warped realm where the very fabric of cause and effect twisted and yielded to his command.
Within this domain, the passage of time accelerated by millions of folds compared to the external world.
Events that might span countless ages in other places wrapped up here in just moments.
This round, Ethan sensed his transformation drawing to a close.
The endless golden radiance enveloping him throbbed in measured, intentional pulses, as if syncing with the rhythm of a universal heartbeat. His breathing remained even, but each breath in and out bore the immense gravity of stars igniting and fading away.
He lifted his gaze and directed it toward the dim boundary of his internal realm.
There, Erebus lingered in quiet stillness.
The formerly bound entity had fully cast off every limitation. His emanation felt composed, unfathomable, and chillingly profound, akin to an abyss that had gained the ability to respire.
"Erebus," Ethan murmured gently, his words reverberating through stacked layers of reality. "Your seals have both been lifted now."
Erebus inclined his head in deference.
"Take in this droplet of my essential blood," Ethan went on. "Advance to the Absolute Continuum Realm. Head to the Neutral Plane and safeguard my sister-in-law there."
Erebus showed no delay.
"As you order, my lord."
Ethan extended a single finger.
A lone droplet of blood gathered at its end.
Its hue was not crimson.
It gleamed gold, interwoven with innumerable tiny runes, each holding pieces of principles, ideas, and core dominion. This went beyond ordinary blood. It embodied core essence, distilled eternity, and the root of Ethan's dominance.
As Erebus drew it in, his form shook with intense force.
The nearby void crumpled inward for the briefest instant.
Then equilibrium returned.
Erebus rose upright, his essence having shifted to a profound new height. His origin now intertwined with his principle, securing his being against typical erasure.
Without further exchange, Ethan sealed his eyes shut again.
He resumed his cultivation practice.
On this occasion, he pressed onward without pause.
Upon finalizing his flawless metamorphosis, Ethan channeled part of his intent inward to form six more Omega Clones. Every clone bore his dominion, his insights, and a sliver of his boundless principle capacity. In that moment, he turned utterly devoid of feeling.
Only then did he permit the ultimate advancement to draw near.
In the time field, months drifted by like gentle waves on a pond.
Five months elapsed.
Ethan regarded his internal form with composure.
His remaining ten cells approached their ultimate refinement.
Long ago, every cell in his body had exceeded the bounds of normal life. 10¹⁰⁰ cells throbbed in unison, all shining with a profound, majestic golden glow. They ceased to look like organic structures.
They resembled tiny cosmos.
With the final cell finishing its change, an invisible yet profound link fractured.
A binding shattered.
Boom.
Ethan's life essence started its ascent.
His consciousness, physique, and spirit commenced blending into one, abandoning their distinct forms. Ideas turned physical. The physical turned ethereal. The ethereal turned into resolve.
Yet this marked just the start.
Abruptly, the immense reservoir of power inside him churned wildly.
Simultaneously, his reservoir of disorder surged back.
These two vast seas charged at each other, smashing together with devastating might.
Annihilation seemed inevitable between them.
Instead, unity occurred.
A third element joined this merging.
His endless lineage.
Boom.
Boom.
Ethan abruptly forfeited command over his form.
His being launched toward an unfamiliar path, ascending to a level even Yumiko struggled to assess right away.
The area surrounding him splintered into tiers, each layer stripping off like broken glass.
"Yumiko," Ethan inquired, his tone laced with slight tension. "What's occurring?"
For the first time, Yumiko faltered.
[Master, regarding you, my records fall short.]
Her tone lost its unwavering certainty.
[Still, based on this shift, you're undergoing a core overhaul. Your makeup is evolving into a superior realm entity. This exceeds a basic stage advancement.]
Ethan perceived it as well.
His foundational structure underwent rewriting.
[You might be poised to shatter this prison of being, Master. But first, strive to forge the Law of Infinity. This moment suits it ideally.]
Yumiko's advice resounded inside him.
"Agreed," Ethan responded steadily.
He shut his eyes once more.
And started pondering.
What defined infinity?
It surpassed simple perpetuity.
It embodied the lack of limits.
It could possess or lack an origin, but it held no conclusion. No limit. No edge.
All things dwelled inside infinity, while infinity evaded containment by any force.
From the dawn of time to the now, every occurrence, every entity, every potential aligned under this one idea.
In infinity, myriad other Ethans might thrive across varied eras and worlds.
Or maybe not a single one.
Infinity permitted both assurance and doubt to dwell side by side.
As his reflections intensified, his Infinite Comprehension stirred on its own.
The combined sea of power and disorder faded away.
A slender, fragile strand emerged in its stead.
Ethan's core spirit floated near it.
Inside this strand, infinity revealed itself to him.
It wasn't mere vision.
It was reality.
When his awareness sought to delve into it, a torrent of data crashed upon him, risking the tearing of his mind.
Ethan pulled back at once.
His intellect lacked the strength for complete union with infinity yet.
In that moment, the outer shell of his internal realm broke apart entirely.
It didn't crumble.
It melted away.
His inner cosmos grew genuinely limitless.
Ethan's mortal skin, muscle, frame, and vital fluid altered.
They stretched out.
Folded in.
Reorganized.
His physique morphed into a cosmos molded in human shape.
Celestial bodies sparked where cells had been. Principles coursed through his vessels. His bones formed a stellar scaffold upholding myriad realms.
[Master, the Law of Infinity stands forged.]
Yumiko's voice rang with reverence.
[This strand before you is the Law of Infinity. Henceforth, each deed you perform will cultivate and broaden it.]
Ethan gazed at the strand in silence.
[It measures roughly five centimeters at present.]
The figure seemed ridiculous.
[Standard elemental principles like fire, earth, water, and wind stretch over one billion kilometers. Higher principles such as space, time, fate, karma, apocalypse, creation, and destruction extend past one hundred billion kilometers.]
Ethan heard her out without breaking in.
[Origin-tier principles like Energy and Entropy span about ten trillion kilometers.]
The gap loomed immense.
[Yet, Master, your principle's purity outshines them all. The Law of Infinity holds essence a million times greater than an origin-tier principle.]
Ethan's gaze sharpened a touch.
[To extend your principle's strand, you'll need your own kin. Bind them to your principle and raise them up. As your kin strengthens, your principle will too.]
Understanding struck him.
[The Human Progenitor spoke true, Master. That figure was a genuine prodigy. Without grazing these edges, he devised an almost flawless path to rise.
And this wisdom stemmed from studying your five-centimeter principle strand.]
Ethan sensed no arrogance.
Just insight.
[Henceforth, you won't need power or disorder to function. All your moves will draw straight from your principle.]
Yumiko held for a beat.
[One last point. Your lineage has wholly integrated into your being.]
Before Ethan could dwell on it, his stage advancement ignited.
Boom.
He entered the Source Authority Realm.
But Ethan pushed on.
He charged toward the gateway of the Absolute Continuum Realm.
Midway, he paused.
An element was absent.
He detected it sharply.
A gap not in strength, but in wholeness.
His feelings had departed him.
And a piece of his self was gone.
Advancing now would leave the base imperfect.
He retreated right away.
He opted to bide his time.
[Status Update]
[Master: Ethan Hunt]
[Realm: Source Authority]
[Combat Prowess: Grade 2 Absolute Continuum]
[Talent: Infinite Comprehension]
[Ability: Creation of All Things]
[Law: Infinity]
His lineage no longer stood apart.
His form and essence had merged fully.
He had surpassed flawlessness.
He had ascended to an entity from a superior existence plane.
Even his battle strength hit Grade 2 Absolute Continuum.
Ethan breathed out gradually.
He could merely await his avatar attaining the Source Authority Realm.
Only then would the lost part rejoin.
Only then could he advance fully.
Within the time field, eight million days slipped by.
Over twenty-one thousand years.
Outwardly, a mere eight days had gone.
Ethan unveiled his eyes and turned to Erebus.
Erebus had finished his own advancement.
His origin had united with his law of infinity.
Erebus could no longer face true death.
Even if wiped out by a superior entity in the neutral plane, he would one day revive inside his principle strand.
"Depart," Ethan instructed.
Erebus disappeared.
Ethan redirected his focus.
Distant, in a lesser world, his avatar had freshly joined an academy.
He had roused as a Beast Master, as fate decreed.
In two days, he would try his initial summoning. Ethan aimed to witness his growth.
Prior to that, Ethan had to honor a vow.
The promised auction. He must conduct it the next day. And he chose to call forth all his omega clones, since they served no further purpose.
He had already birthed the law.
