The Monarch

In the end, most stayed only a few hours and left, as they had nothing to learn in this place. The rest continued training and studying as they could. A minuscule fraction was able to take advantage of this mess of laws, but nothing really relevant came of it.

Little by little everyone started giving up, even the most determined left after a few weeks, the real problem was that there were too many fragments of law in this place, it was impossible to put everything together, or to learn something relevant, besides, it was something rare, a god attacking a mortal was extremely rare, it was an event that happened in small moments every billions of years.

Many doubts arose from this event — which god caused it and why? Such questions were a mystery. The council managed to quickly discover who the god was that had died; they had control over all who entered this world, but they were unable to see anything else beyond that.

"It was Kayden," Achilles said as soon as he stepped into the area after a few weeks, he had no rush at all to come here.

"Are you sure?" Han was not able to find any sign of this, but Achilles stated it with absolute certainty.

"Yes, the timelines in this place are totally scrambled, either it was him or it was our monarch, one of the two had to do this." The timelines, the flow of destiny in this environment, were a complete mess.

"He causes many turbulences wherever he goes, Kayden really is something peculiar," Han commented as they left, the council would no longer investigate anything about this event.

Kayden spent thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years in this place. Little by little, the laws were disappearing, little by little, the karmic laws ceased to exist in this environment, but the boy remained; he absorbed every small detail, every small piece of information possible, everything he could was absorbed.

With each passing day, he felt more like a frog in a well. It seemed that no matter how much he grew, no matter how many titles he was able to obtain, in the grand scheme of things he was weak, he was ignorant, just a small prolonged contact with this law was enough for him to have this notion.

The law of karma was an absolute masterpiece, Kayden had never seen anything so bizarre, every little piece of it, every miserable fragment was perfect, each detail was added to the previous one and became something greater, if Kayden had spent every day since he was born until this moment studying this law… he still would not have come even close to something so grand.

For the first time in his life, Kayden was afraid of finding something far above his capacity, something that would make him pursue it until the end of his days, very similar to the god with his garden of chaos, the immensity of this law was undeniable, but…

"The abyss is endless, the abyss is insane, but…" Kayden smiled, "How insane is the man who comes out of this abyss alive?"

He would not back down, even if it cost him every day of his life until the end of time, even if he had to dedicate every breath until all suns burned out; his goal was much greater than the fifth divine level. This law was the answer.

Kayden wanted more than this law; he wanted to dominate it completely and place his path above it. He wanted to learn dozens, hundreds, thousands, and millions like this; his goal was infinite, and his greed had no limits.

"It's over," Kayden sighed after a good while studying this law, his strength grew absurdly during this period, his knowledge about the karmic law practically doubled in this period.

The only problem is that doubling a grain of sand… only made you have two grains of sand, there was still a long way to go before this became relevant, but…

BOOOOOOOOM!

Kayden released a completely green beam; he subjugated everything in front of him, space, laws, everything was completely obliterated. This beam kept crossing for hundreds of millions of kilometers without losing strength. His attack consumed everything around and sustained itself infinitely.

This beam continued and continued. It took a few minutes, but it reached a city and simply… devastated everything. Kayden killed billions of mortals, even a god who was in this city was consumed without understanding what was happening. A ravine millions of kilometers long opened from Kayden to that point.

If someone were hypothetically watching from outer space looking at this world, they would see a kind of immense scar cutting through the world, and the funny thing is that it was not able to regenerate, because at the same time that random things were being created there, random things were destroyed, the remnants of the karmic law annulled any real sense of the laws.

"Acceptable," Kayden smiled and disappeared.

The outside world became a mess. Quickly, many gods and mages felt the colossal attack that had been unleashed from one of the edges of the world; the sound of the explosion reached almost a quarter of this world.

The council was obviously the first to arrive this time. Achilles felt that there was something fundamental about this event, something he should investigate. As soon as he arrived in the environment, he felt the karmic laws.

"The void fired an insane beam this time," Han commented as he observed. He felt that he could suffer severe consequences if he entered inside that ravine without protection. Ordinary mortals would probably be killed in the first second.

"Are there records of something like this in this world?" Atlas asked while studying what had happened.

Many gods and mortals were doing the same, trying to learn what they coul., 99% of them gave up after just a few minutes. This law was strange; they were not able to read it. In a way, it was close. Most assumed they had no capacity to learn about it and went back to their duties.

"This…" Achilles was paralyzed as the options passed through his mind, "this was not made by the universe, this was the work of a living and rational being."

The realization silenced the conversation between the three immediately. A mortal capable of reproducing karmic laws, this was far beyond what they expected. This did not even make sense. Perhaps it was a god, but… a god with this power would not be trapped here inside; he would be dominating Atherion by force.

"Kayden Heart," Achilles commented, and the other two nodded in agreement.

"It seems that the craziest hypotheses will always be below what he will actually do," Atlas commented as he tried to absorb the information, the level Kayden had reached in their minds was completely unreal.
