"Master Laws?"
Richard furrowed his brows for a few seconds, glancing to his side toward his father, silent in thought, "..." Then he turned back toward the vast sea once more, his gaze lost in the endless horizon. "I have only a surface-level understanding. Just the common knowledge, the general information that everyone knows and repeats."
He continued, "... It's said that the eight Master Laws are what ford this world and shaped its very foundation. Seven of them are known, and one is completely unknown, hidden from all existence itself. They are not paths like the rest of the laws that contain a sub-law and minor laws branching from them. Each Master Law has only a single, indivisible law, whole and absolute, without division or fragntation."
He paused briefly, as if choosing his words carefully. "I also heard that you can't be born with affinity toward one of them. It's sothing you must strive for, sothing you must pursue with your entire existence. You have to search for them to find them, or sotis... they are the ones that find you."
"I also heard that trying to assimilate a Master Law is a hopeless possibility, because the success rate is almost nonexistent, nearly zero compared to the long history of the universe..."
Then he looked at his father again with a faint, playful smile. "What, do you think that when I was trying to create an anti-life ability, I accidentally added a Master Law to it? Hehe... heh?"
Robin did not laugh with him.
He kept a serious, heavy expression while watching the sea, his eyes steady and calm. "What you told is indeed the surface-level view."
Then he paused for a mont, his voice lowering slightly. "There are hidden truths that only those who enter the world of Master Laws know. Secrets buried so deep that even so Behemoths know nothing about them, and never will."
Then he smiled at his son and gently patted his thigh. "For example, did you know that Master Law abilities are translated into Fundantal Laws?"
"Huh?" Richard frowned deeply, confusion clearly written on his face.
"I was surprised too!!" Robin laughed openly.
"Do you an that all Fundantal Laws ca from the eight Master Laws?" Richard nodded several tis. "...That makes sense. Everything that ca after the formation of the universe, Essential, Fundantal, and Complentary laws, all ca from the convergence of the eight Master Laws. All existence traces back to them."
"No, no, that's not what I an," Robin waved a few tis, correcting him calmly. "Of course, all Heavenly Laws are derived in one way or another from the Master ones. That is natural. That's why I used the Fundantal Laws, the closest to the Master, to try to understand them more deeply and eventually reach a Master Law in the end, just as I did with Creation and Spaceti." "What I an is sothing different... I'm talking about the abilities, the combat techniques of the Master Laws themselves!"
Robin showed a wide, aningful smile. "...So ti ago, I was puzzled by the nas of the laws used by the children of the Cosmic Elder. As you know, the first batch arrived so ti ago at the Holy Covenant Academy."
He continued, "Laws such as: Denial of Perfection, Forced Stability, Asymtrical Symtry, Fair Exchange, and others. All of them are harmonious with nature, deeply aligned with the Master law of Balance, yet at the sa ti, you cannot find them in nature itself, as if they exist beyond natural reality."
His smile widened even more. "They were extrely powerful laws, so powerful that they could be placed alongside the Fundantal Laws without sha. And yet, they are not necessary. If they vanished, you wouldn't feel the absence of anything. For example, Denial of Perfection. It's an extrely powerful law that makes its user reject the idea that there is anything beyond them. Any incoming attack is destroyed, any obstacle is crushed, and any resistance is erased, and yet.... this law has no role in practical life. The universe itself is fundantally built on the principle of imperfection anyways."
"What the...?"
Richard was astonished, his mind struggling to process what he had just heard. "I know, I know, it's ntally exhausting"
Robin waved his hand several tis, as if trying to brush away the weight of the topic itself. "That's exactly why I waited until the Cosmic Elder sent the second batch of his children, eighty additional children. On that day, I caught him at the right mont and managed to ask him directly about the true nature of those powerful laws he distributes to his children. He answered calmly, saying that they were techniques he himself had once created and used, and that the mont he used them, they imdiately transford into Fundantal Laws."
"A technique?"
Richard furrowed his brows deeply. "Just using a technique once turned it into a Fundantal Law? A law that can be used to build foundations and systems?"
"Imagine that!!"
Robin looked genuinely excited, his voice rising slightly. "When I questioned him further, the Cosmic Elder began to explain everything in more detail."
Then he continued, "He told that the fifth level of any Master Law grants its owner a special status in the universe when it cos to laws themselves. Anything they do becos more powerful than any other Fundantal Law. Because of that, any powerful technique they execute instantly transforms into a law. A law without affinity, but also without any affinity requirents, because it is not a law of nature. A law that anyone can study, as long as they are capable of comprehending it and understanding its structure!"
"Impossible!"
Richard jolted in place. "There have been many Master Law users who appeared and reached the fifth level. There must be countless powerful laws
like this. Why do we never hear about them? Why is there no record of them at
all?"
"Because they don't exist in nature. You can't observe them, you can't docunt them and write cultivation techniques for them."
Robin raised a finger slowly, emphasizing each word. "But Master Law users can sense those new laws directly, and they can write cultivation techniques for them, just as the Cosmic Elder did... hoping that his children's use of those laws derived from balance techniques will one day cause one of them to comprehend Master Balance itself."
"Oh..."
Richard looked forward again, his eyes unfocused. "No wonder, then. No one who uses a fifth-level Master Law would ever write such cultivation techniques for soone else. Perhaps the Cosmic Elder truly is the only exception."
"Tsk tsk~"
Robin shook his head slowly. "According to the Cosmic Elder, there are two others who do it as well."
Then he looked forward again, his expression turning distant. "One of them is my ark enemy, soone I have never seen before, and the second is a woman equal to them both in power, a woman who commands many followers. Both of them do the sa thing. They hand their followers laws derived from their own
Master Law techniques."
Then he stared toward the horizon, his voice lowering.
"Perhaps this is what angered the All-seeing god the most. No wonder he told
to retrieve his law. That person didn't just use the law in a way that hard the All-seeing god's interests, but also derived law-techniques from it and distributed them to a number of his closest followers, those who grew under his guidance and protection... what audacity. Even as an enemy, I must respect
a heart that knows no fear"
"?"
Richard did not fully understand anything that had just been said, but it was
clear that his father was speaking in a deliberately vague and layered way, as if hiding anings behind every sentence. So he did not ask. He simply nodded
slowly.
"So this is what you think I possess? That I sohow reached one of those
derived laws?"
Robin remained silent for a few monts, as if thinking, then turned to Richard
as if suddenly rembering their conversation.
"Hm? Of course not. How would you possibly obtain one of those? Hehe~"
