My Talent's Name Is Generator Chapter 812 Devour And Assimilation
Previously on My Talent's Name Is Generator...
As I descended the last step, I arrived in a round chamber that differed from the previous ones. No columns were present, and no darkness lurked below to greet me.
The chamber featured flawlessly even surfaces, all white from the ground up to the roof, without any apparent joints or inscriptions. Right in the middle rose a round pedestal, a touch elevated, its top emitting a soft, unwavering white radiance.
Without pause, I approached it.
The instant I came within several meters of the pale circle, the atmosphere overhead rippled and solidified into two separate shapes.
Two spheres materialized at the circle's core.
One sphere emitted a dim purple glow, its outer layer faintly twisting the illumination nearby. The area close to it warped gently, with the chamber's borders bending inward in a subtle twist. Though I hadn't made contact, I detected the recognizable pattern of spatial law inside it.
The second sphere radiated a gentle silver hue.
Though its exterior appeared even, the glow inside shifted oddly, surging ahead and retreating in thin strata. As I concentrated on it, I sensed the faint tug of time's effect, like the air around it lagged behind the chamber's other parts.
Space and Time.
They floated over the circle, equidistant from each other, firm and unchanging in their shapes. For several instants, nothing occurred.
Then motion started.
Gradually, the purple sphere glided toward the silver one, and the silver sphere mirrored the approach. As they drew nearer, the space between grew denser subtly, responding to the nearness of two core laws.
Upon contact between their surfaces, no blast erupted, no fierce clash followed.
Rather, their outlines blurred.
The purple and silver tones started to blend, the divide between space and time fading as the spheres squeezed together and fused into one cohesive entity.
A focal point emerged in the air at the junction of the two laws. Space curved inward around that spot, squeezing fiercely to create a tiny imploding orb. It looked like a small emptiness, drawing in all nearby elements.
Next, the implosion eased.
The drawing force persisted but slowed down, as if time had grown denser encircling it. The squeezing extended oddly, every tiny shift prolonged beyond normal.
Suddenly, it quickened.
The implosion surged ahead rapidly, tightening quicker than typical space warping permitted. The orb clenched with force.
And then—
It stopped.
Utterly.
Locked in the midst of imploding.
The space's inward curve hung motionless in an ideal balance between being and oblivion. Time had pinned it there. Soon after, the time's grip loosened.
The implosion picked up again. The orb folded in without a sound and disappeared.
I remained standing, gaze sharpened.
The two flows parted once more, reverting to separate shapes. I perceived the laws reached level 3 major. It matched the tier of major law I already held. This lay within my grasp.
A few seconds passed with no further activity. I grasped the purpose of this chamber. It served as an illustration. I advanced and settled into a cross-legged position in front of the pedestal. Shutting my eyes, I mentally reviewed the scene.
The essence lay not in merely combining time and space. It involved timing them at the identical spot. The implosion initiated through space, yet time controlled its tempo. Space outlined the framework. Time governed its condition. Neither overpowered the other. They intertwined.
Achieving Saint rank demanded certain conditions, including the merging of major laws. That was the chamber's lesson for me.
I started to channel both laws. I summoned space initially, molding it precisely ahead until the atmosphere warped and squeezed, crafting a minor anomaly that curved inward at its heart. The form held firm, a precise spatial implosion emerging just as planned. Only after securing that base did I bring in time to the same location, threading it into the imploding spot rather than imposing it across the exterior.
The initial try collapsed right away. As soon as time's effect met the space's curve, I permitted excessive disruption, shattering the fine equilibrium. The implosion lost stability and came apart, the anomaly scattering into innocuous waves before vanishing completely.
I drew in a steady breath and refined my method.
Now, I permitted the spatial form to solidify fully before adding time with caution. Instead of stopping the implosion suddenly, I let time seep in as a soft adjustment, merging smoothly with the drawing force's beat. The orb reappeared, tight and balanced, curving inward precisely as desired. I proceeded to decelerate it bit by bit, easing the implosion's speed without harming its outline. The drawing force diminished gradually, the action elongating rather than breaking.
After confirming the form's steadiness, I inverted the current and urged it onward, boosting the implosion's velocity so the squeezing intensified sharply yet kept its integrity.
Then, with exact focus, I suspended it.
The imploding orb paused in its track, held ideally between progression and finish. It neither disintegrated nor progressed. It just stayed anchored in that delicate balance, maintained by the harmony of space and time. A subtle grin formed on my face as I noted the merger's firmness.
Content, I let go of time's grasp. The implosion restarted at once and finished in a smooth fold-in, erasing all traces. The laws parted effortlessly under my command, flowing back to their individual streams without opposition. Underfoot, the pale pedestal hummed gently.
The illustration had ended, and this round it was my creation. I stood up, knowing the trial had passed.
The atmosphere over the circle rippled once more, launching another display.
Fresh spheres appeared. The initial one was utterly dark, while its counterpart gleamed pure white.
Devour and Assimilation.
Devour showed as a shadowy stream that engulfed nearby light, drawing in bits of surrounding remnants. Assimilation differed in nature. It didn't swallow. It took in and altered, its stream more fluid, fusing what it contacted into its essence.
They drifted closer.
Their union started mildly.
A tiny energy piece materialized between them. Devour's law yanked it inside harshly, reducing it to basic pieces. Before those pieces could fade, assimilation enveloped them, merging them into a fresh, solid build.
The merger avoided ruin.
It engulfed and reshaped in an instant.
A minor orb took shape, made from fused energy transformed from its prior state. It was purified.
The cycle continued on its own. Pieces emerged, got devoured, then integrated into an enlarging nucleus. The orb grew consistently, gaining density and purity.
This merger lacked violence. It was streamlined. United, they fostered ongoing expansion.
I observed intently. These laws sat at a lower tier. Level two major. Not as polished as my devour law, yet arranged with accuracy.
The main distinction was equilibrium. Excessive devour would wipe out all before assimilation could anchor it. Overreliance on assimilation sans devour would burden the form.
I moved ahead and lifted my palm.
A lump of moist soil gathered first, then swelled into an orb. I engaged devour mildly, dismantling it into elemental parts. Before they dispersed, I triggered assimilation, binding the pieces into a firm construct in my hand.
The opening effort faltered.
