An object would beco a blur when it moved fast, a faint shadow when it moved faster, and practically invisible when it moved fastest. But no matter how fast the object moved, traces of its existence would still be sensed.
This is due to its interaction with other matter during its movent.
However, Hecate realized that was only true up until a certain speed. The limitations of the third dinsion had restricted her thinking.
In the fourth dinsion, everything would be far more complex.
Anything and everything would contain so much more information, and the fourth-dinsional beings had to absorb this information instantly to function normally.
After all, when third-dinsional beings see their third-dinsional world, they imdiately recognize the sun and moon, heaven and earth, and mountains and rivers. They don't just freeze to process what they are; they see what they see and know what they know.
In that case, the concepts of speed, space, and ti had to be quite different to accommodate the complexity of the fourth dinsion.
Furthermore, the fourth-dinsional beings would have the perceptive abilities to view that complexity as sothing simple.
Once Hecate understood that, she didn't try to limit her imagination by the "what is" but tried to understand the "what if" to get an idea of the concept of fourth-dinsional speed.
Nothing could move faster than the speed of light in the third dinsion, but moving faster than the speed of light was most likely normal in the fourth dinsion.
What kind of effect would fourth-dinsional speed have?
Furthermore, how could sothing be proven to exist if it moved too fast to be seen or even felt? And if it had always been the case since the beginning of ti, how could it ever be known or thought of?
That was the domain of nihility – If people never knew it existed, then it was the sa as never existing.
Because third-dinsional beings were simply incapable of perceiving things beyond their dinsion, they could never understand anything outside of Chaos, in the endless sea of nothingness.
Having given a different perception of the endless sea of nothingness, Hecate realized it couldn't be true nothingness.
Why would true nothingness have any effect on that which exists? How could the state of nothing do anything?
It was just nothing.
As such, the nihilistic power of the endless sea of nothingness actually ca from the seemingly absolute speed of the fourth dinsion. The speed was so fast that it would literally shred anything in contact with it from existence.
Furthermore, it couldn't be sensed because its energy particles were much smaller than standard.
That was also why slowly coming into contact with nihilistic power would have the effect of erosion instead of instant disappearance. The quantum particles of it were actually eating away at the matter.
This was also how controlled levels of nihilistic power could break down matter into pure energy instead of smashing everything into non-existence.
Suddenly, the laws around Hecate stirred, prompting Vaan to pause their travel and glance at her with great surprise.
This was because among the laws stirred was also the Nihility Law.
"I seem to have comprehended the Nihility Law… I guess that makes us partners in cri," Hecate chuckled pleasantly, sincerely adding, "You have my thanks, Sir Vaan."
Not only did she comprehend the Nihility Law, but she also had a major breakthrough in her understanding of all other laws. Her ascension to Rank 7 Divine Being was only a matter of ti now.
Vaan shook his head and said, "I've only shared my experience and insight, Lady Hecate. Ultimately, it was your ability that allowed you to comprehend nihility."
"Nevertheless, congratulations are in order. How do you feel after rewriting your destiny?" Vana asked shortly after.
"I feel great!" Hecate replied with an honest grin before suddenly adding, "Although the Nihility Law will undoubtedly bring untold dangers to my life, how many beings would even get this chance to pursue the absolute peak?"
"eting you has certainly been my greatest blessing and the chance I have been waiting for. For that, I am grateful. As a reminder, please visit my territory as soon as you've settled all your matters—if you want to raise your strength quickly, that is."
"Also, don't be in a hurry to use Abaddon's left arm until then, Sir Vaan," Hecate added.
"I will keep that in mind, Lady Hecate," Vaan nodded.
Now that they were both users of the Nihility Law, Vaan had another layer of assurance on top of the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura's influence to trust Hecate.
After all, their interests aligned, and they would want each other to be as strong as possible to overco any disaster thrown at them due to their destinies as bearers of nihility.
As such, Vaan was quite curious how Hecate intended to help him raise his strength once he reached her territory.
Nevertheless, that was sothing he could only find out later.
More importantly, he needed to settle the Great Ratholos Empire and deal with the Vampire Lords and the Evernight Territory.
…
A strange scene unfolded before them when Vaan and Hecate returned to the Great Ratholos Empire's imperial capital.
"What are you doing?" Hecate frowned.
Her nine trusted Dreamcatchers were competing with each other, seeing who could last the longest under the gravitational pressure of the black pillar. Evidently, it was their ga to kill ti and cure their boredom as they waited.
"M-Mistress! You're back!" Fourth Dream exclaid with surprise and joy despite being inford of Hecate's imminent return. "W-We are competing."
"I can see that," Hecate's frown deepened.
Her Dreamcatchers were all beautiful fairies, trained to be elegant and gentle but also dignified in the eyes of others as they represented her.
However, at that mont, the nine Dreamcatchers were all soaking in sweat, huffing and puffing like animals in heat. Their ethereal image was completely shattered, making her feel embarrassed.
"Who ca up with this idea?" Hecate coldly asked.
The nine Dreamcatchers imdiately glanced at the Eighth Progenitor subconsciously, causing the latter to feel weak in the knees, especially after her cool gaze shifted to him.
"P-Please have rcy, Great Devil Hecate! I didn't suggest anything! I'm innocent! I rely made an irresponsible remark!" the Eighth Progenitor quickly cried, fearing Hecate's divine pressure would weigh down on him again.
"Oh? What kind of irresponsible remark? Let's hear it," Hecate demanded.
