The receptionist said, "Okay then. You would need to pay 1 million AC for challenging."
He had just earned 1.2 million, and now 1 million was gone just like that.
"Okay, let’s go."
Meanwhile, on Earth...
Ethan’s clones, who were prehending laws inside his inner planet, had already prehended the four new supreme laws:
[Law of Fate: 1%
Law of Karma: 1%
Law of Creation: 1%
Law of Destruction: 1%]
As soon as these four laws reached 1%, he heard a system message.
[Ding! You have prehended 4 Supreme Laws and 1 Ultimate Law. Your body can now hold up to 100 million Sun-level power in the Planetary Realm.]
Damn! That was awesome. He could previously only handle 100,000 Sun-level power. Now, it was 1,000 times more. It meant a lot because it signified that his body had bee even more perfect, able to contain far more power in the same realm.
"System, give me the time limit."
[27 days remaining]
Okay! That was a lot of time pared to before. His Law of Chaos had also increased to 4%.
Boom. His inner planet expanded once again, growing five times larger. He had broken through to Level 4 Planetary Realm.
It now had a diameter of 63,000 kilometers.
His attribute panel had also changed:
[Master: Ethan Hunt
Physique: 10 Sun
Spirit: 10 Sun
Talent: Infinite prehension]
(24 days remaining)
Suddenly, he remembered his sword skill, "Extinction."
To reach Level 10, it required prehension of the Law of Destruction, which would then grant him a 50-times amplification. That was the goal.
He brought out his sword and started practicing the technique.
15 hours later...
[Ding! You have reached Level 10!]
Okay. Now his highest bat value was 500 Sun. Damn. He could destroy any planet in this solar system down to the molecular level now.
Then Ethan was thinking what could he do right now. He seemed to be very free now. A free life like this, ah what a pleasure. Free my ass, he was fucking running out of time and he was admiring free time.
Suddenly he remembered that there seemed to be some fundamental force in physics he read before. Then he recalled the four fundamental forces of nature:
Gravity
Electromagnetism
The Strong Nuclear Force
The Weak Nuclear Force
As someone who had already prehended the Ultimate Law of Chaos, and the four Supreme Laws of Fate, Karma, Creation, and Destruction, it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t prehend the four fundamental forces of nature too. Right?
He sat cross-legged again and focused on the knowledge of these four forces. This time, his Infinite prehension would prove extremely useful, because there were no external materials to help with this. He needed to prehend them through his own insight.
As he meditated, all the information about the four fundamental forces of nature began pouring into his mind.
Universal Gravitation: Acts on all massive objects, infinite range, strength of 10⁻³⁹, propagates at the speed of light.
Electromagnetic Force: Acts on charges and hadrons, infinite range, strength of 10⁻³, propagates at the speed of light.
Strong Nuclear Force: Acts on nucleons and mesons, range of 10⁻¹⁵ meters, strength of 10⁻¹, propagates at the speed of light.
Weak Nuclear Force: Acts on most particles, range of 10⁻¹⁸ meters, strength of 10⁻¹², propagates at the speed of light.
He started prehending them at a deeper level.
He dove into the very fabric of the universe. He observed how everything functioned. Everything was made of atoms. So if he could understand these four forces, he could manipulate all material in the universe. If he managed to merge his mental domain, chaos domain, the four fundamental forces of nature, and the four supreme laws, then the Ultimate Domain would be born. There would be no being of similar strength who could resist him.
During this session of deep prehension, 14 hours passed. A new day had already begun.
[Master: Ethan Hunt
Physique: 20 Sun
Spirit: 20 Sun
Talent: Infinite prehension]
Then Ethan opened his eyes. He had finally prehended all four fundamental forces of nature, each up to 1%.
[Ding! You have prehended the four fundamental forces of nature. You can now reach up to 1 billion Suns of strength in the Planetary Realm.]
Again, his potential increased. This didn’t raise his strength directly, but his capacity had grown immensely. That was ideal. Increasing strength anymore at this point would only bee a hassle.
Ethan then created 100,000 more clones. Their mission was to merge the mental domain, chaos domain, the supreme laws of fate, karma, creation, and destruction, along with the four fundamental forces he had just prehended.\(n)ovel(.)co(m)
Now, Ethan had some free time. So he vanished from his room and appeared near the training ground where Team Alpha Omega was being trained under Dragon.
He didn’t appear in front of them, just observed from a distance.
Rose created her Ice Domain
. She could now control an area of 500 meters around her. That was an impressive achievement. The 50 team members who had just awakened a few days ago were now practicing in synchronization. Their strength was increasing rapidly. Ethan had provided them with all types of resources needed to boost their base strength.
After reaching the Star Realm, he planned to develop a technique that would allow him to infuse his power into them and make them even stronger.
Aetherion
The Tower of Ascension
A large crowd had gathered beneath the tower. Usually, people came to try their luck. But today was different. A certain someone had paid to challenge the tower yesterday. He still hadn’t e out.
This kind of situation had never happened before. The longest anyone had lasted inside was 14 hours. That person had received an SS-level talent and was now a supreme powerhouse of Aetherion.
Inside the tower, Ethan had already reached Level 78. The challenge of this tower was an extremely heavy pressure, applied to both body and soul.
Within that pressure, one had to prehend a skill or technique within a limited time. If successful, the next level would be unlocked. No bat was involved.
Even the higher-ups in the Hunter Association were alarmed. The highest level ever reached before was 75, and this boy had already broken that record.
But Ethan didn’t feel shit. He was like a fish in water. His extremely sturdy body and powerful soul could easily withstand the pressure. As for prehension, don’t make him laugh.
He had already reached Level 80.
Meanwhile, in the Celestial Domain...
Alistair had locked himself in a room. He was behaving like a madman. He had developed a heart knot. Unless he defeated or killed Ethan, the knot wouldn’t be released.
People gathered in front of his door. They tried everything, but nothing worked.
Then an oppressive voice echoed in the hall.
"Alistair, open the door."
Instantly, the door opened. Even Cassian was present. He wasn’t there as the leader of the Origin Generation, but as an attendant.
When they saw the door open and caught a glimpse of Alistair, some people swallowed hard.
Alistair had a horrifying look on his face, like he was being a monster.
The voice spoke again.
"You can’t even handle a little setback like this? How can you lead the Origin Generation? You have 10 seconds. Pull yourself together and resume your cultivation. Otherwise, the Celestial Race has no place for losers."
These words struck like thunder. Alistair trembled. Then he gave himself two hard slaps across the face.
He stepped out of the room.
"I am sorry, Father. I wasn’t thinking straight. I’ll crush Ethan Hunt in front of everyone, humiliate his family, and destroy his people."
"Good. I’m glad you understand. Go train properly. There will be an Inter-Racial Tournament in 10 days. That should be the platform where you defeat your opponent."
Alistair nodded. "Yes, Father."
