Chapter Fifty Seven, IGNOTOVIAN.

"-And then, I was forced to fight against a conceptual force of destruction, with my enemies as my main source of help... We fought against an entity so powerful that I'm sure if we gave it time... It would've killed every single one of us!" Julius smiled, stepping through a crack in space as the air around him fluctuated.
"Huh?" He paused, one foot stopped in mid air.
"Oh my..." An easily recognizable voice sounded, clearly astonished.
Before he could comprehend anything at all, Citemer had fallen off of his back, and he was struck to the ground.
His hands phased through the floor beneath him and rematerialized, before fading away once more.
His body twitched and glitched, as if he was just data in the annals of reality, and he was encrypted with a virus.
"Two is possible is it?... My expectations will always be exceeded."
His arms tensed up, and an overwhelming pressure descended upon him.
He could feel an authority, nearly boundless, but weak in a way?...at the same time.
He felt the strength of laws, many more than he understood, despite knowing over a thousand.
They pressured him, trying to control his existence, and render him inoperable.
"What the hell are you doing!" He screamed angrily at reality. He struggled, pushing himself to his feet, using every single fiber of strength within his body.
Awkwardly, he started to fight back.
He was knocked down, but he stood back up, Law essences flowed out of his body as he activated his countless skills.
"[LORD OF REALITY]." He firmly yelled, his raging energies sparking outwards. They raced to understand all that was happening around him, his subordinate ability fighting to subjugate reality itself.
Julius was putting on a show.
Atop the peak of the world, where Lokreum sat in his throne, Kieron to his right, Alexandria to his left, and Seiya lurking off to the side...
They all watched as Citemer sat on the cold floor, dumbfounded.
They watched as sparks of condensed Laws that even Alexandria did not know, stabbed into Julius' origin.
"I did not know you put so many rules into this miniature reality..." Alexandria whispered in a strange delight.
Lokreum only nodded.
None present knew what was taking place besides he, and only Kieron was catching a glimpse of it.
Kieron's gaze rotated between Lokreum and Julius, an aura similar to his Father's sparking within the ancient human before him.
He could feel it.
It was fundamentally different from the similarity that Alexandria and Lokreum held.
It was... deeper.
His mind was slightly confused, his eyes piercing into the depths of reality, gazing across the world and landing upon a primordial soul.
More time had passed while they were absent, and the primordial Vitarian was nearly two hundred thousand years old.
But, deep within the strange, seemingly immortal, creature, was a spark of authority.
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
He could not completely uncover it, as it seemed to be something that ventured beyond laws.
It was outside of his scope of power?
Kieron's innate abilities gave him near perfect omnipotence within his designated domain, alongside the ability to do everything that was possible with laws.
His talent was nearly unmatched, alongside the ceiling of his mental capabilities being so high that none other should be able to reach him.
He could understand any power system in an instant, yet, what was before him was not a power from any system.
It was... A system breaker?
The eyes within his soul squinted as reality's trembles came to a screeching halt.
Kieron gazed into not the annals of reality, but the fabric of existence.
He locked in on the cosmic database, his eyes glancing over the trillions of nearly incomprehensible data lines.
It took him nearly 3 days in his mind, which passed before any movement at all could be perceived.
A word appeared in his head as he looked at Julius with a strange feeling in his heart.
The human had his shoulders slouched, and his head was hung low...
...But he was still standing.
His arms twitched, and a sight that none present would forget, took place.
Lokreum tightened his grip on the arm rests of his throne, his feet shuffling as his pushed himself to a standing position.
"ABSURD." Lokreum yelled, reality trembling once more as his voice echoed throughout all of existence.
As he did so, Julius' body raised, he head lifting up yet falling backwards, failing to find good posture.
A calm look was on his face.
He breathed out, gaseous essence exiting his body.
Abruptly-
"HAAA!" Julius exhaled violently, beams of white light spewing out of his now opened eyes, as a word imprinted itself in space before his existence.
The word grew larger as everyone present locked their eyes on it.
Lokreum himself was frozen in the mind, his hands tensed and upturned as if trying to grasp at existence.
All present eyes widened, watching as the bolded word grew and faded out of reality at the same time...
"[IGNOTOVIAN]"

...
For the first time since deactivating his omniscience, Lokreum was experiencing a headache.
He was standing tall, staring at Julius, who was expelling the newfound power granted to him by his unfathomable Ignotovian Trait.
At it's core, there were two laws that shaped the power system, and allowed the existence of everything.
One of them, The Law.
It was the centerpiece of laws themselves. It is what gives each and every law the authority they possess, and it is what powers all of them.
Without it, laws would not be, and they would simply be names backed with no power.
Possessing this law as an Ignotovian trait... would let the holder go beyond law.
It would put them in a place of power where they could render everything null.
They could take away the stability of anything and everything they wanted.
No power would be able to deny their authority, and whatever they wanted would be theirs.
Anything, ranging from denying the effect of the Law of Death on their existence, to destabilizing the Law of Invincibility, and manipulating it to pertain to themselves...
It was the one trait that could not be combated by any other!
Lokreum was breathing heavy...
Rightfully so... as Julius' Ignotovian Trait was The Law of Existence.
The law that stood directly below The Law.
It was the second most powerful Ignotovian Trait one could wish to obtain.
It is what truly allows things to exist.
It's as simple as that.
Harnessing Existence as an Ignotovian Trait would be considered virtual omnipotence.
One would be able to deem what it is that exists, and what doesn't, depending all on their will and mental power.
Julius was godsent talent.
Lokreum had divined nearly all possibilities, as of course he foresaw the chance that Julius would become Ignotovian upon setting foot in any reality, not just this one.
And, the chance he obtained The Law, was so infinitesimal, that there was not even a name for the collection of numbers jumbled together.
Yet, just next to this was the chance he obtained The Law of Existence.
But... Here they were!
"This is... ridiculous." Lokreum muttered, his cheeks being upturned.
He had raised a hand long ago, perfectly stabilizing the reality they were in, denying it's destruction.
"You understand, do you?" He stepped forward, ignoring the shock on the faces of all those present.
"I-I... I do." Julius trembled, his power being reeled in just a few moments before.
He stood, his back slightly hunched, and his face in his hands.
He hid a crazy smile away from everyone, Lokreum approaching him with the same smile, and shaky hands.
"Prove it." In that moment, Julius threw his head back, a maniac laugh spreading throughout the entirety of the reality they were in, as a bizarre feeling was sparked within everyone, even Lokreum.
Julius shot up in realm, climbing higher than any other within existence.
"Ei-Ei-Eight-" Alexandria fell to her knee.
"Nineteen?" Kieron furrowed his brows mentally.
"Twenty." With that word, Julius tumbled to the floor, losing conscious as a shining white liquid started to leak from his nose.
"Level twenty... You brought forth the existence of a Deified Law of your own within over one thousand realities..." Lokreum whispered, looks of disbelief and horror appearing on all those around.
"F-Father... What just happened?"
