Chapter Forty Two, Power Systems.

Alexandria and Julius were stood together within the void, the human king stood behind her. Julius was forced to get over his qualms, Alexandria was working on the systems of reality, she was one of the most important people here...
"This world will be different from the general populous of existence. The power systems here will be... Kreus, Sorcery, Belief, and Bloodlines." Alexandria said, Julius peering over her shoulder as she manipulated a holographic construct within her palms.
"Kreus is too powerful and untamed for those of the lower level." Julius said. He put a hand into the construct and manipulated it.
"But if we create a new natural law, I'm sure it wouldn't be impossible to control kreus perfectly." He added, adding a new strange law essence into the fray, and showcasing the newly stabilized energy in Alexandria's palms.
"Yet that would put the focus back on the Kreuvian System... The Kreuvian System is focused on the latter tiers. It focuses on powers that rend solar systems and crumble galaxies, it is not truly plausible for just one small world." Alexandria retorted.
"Plus, where is the variety? We have the chance to create a world from scratch, for our Father at that... Don't you want to go beyond his expectations?" She explained.
"...Then, what exactly do you have in mind?" Julius asked, confusedly.
"For kreus?... we need to use kreus in a more useful way... You know that kreus is present within everything, this is widespread knowledge. But we don't utilize this to its full capabilities because we are so powerful..." She started, materializing a sword in her hand. "For example, if you're holding a sword, you will pour your kreus into your hand so your grip tightens and you will not let go. Or you might even feed your hand so much kreus that it acts as a magnet for the sword. But you could quite easily, at the expense of almost no energy at that, just tap into the kreus of the sword, and interlock it with yours." Alexandria said, displaying her words with the sword in her hand.
"Everyone uses kreus to just empower themselves... They use it for trivial matters, solely to bridge the gap with law essences, but it truly has so much potential!" She exclaimed. She poured her kreus into the sword, infesting it and forcing its latent kreus outwards.
In response, the sword disintegrated, turning into a pile of metal ash that sunk infinitely within the void they stood.
Julius, nodded, a hand on his chin.

"But what is the main system, if kreus is not?" He asked.
”The way life functions… The Laws of reality state that an existence must have a form to contain their soul and mind… Because of this, the soul and mind are bound to the body, and they cannot leave. But, I have created a law that splices the aspects! It allows ones soul and mind to leave their body, and be perfectly fine.” She exclaimed.
”And, when combining this with kreus, it allows you to use the power of your body while in a spiritual form… It’s a minor edit, but with it, it allows one to easily temper their mind and soul since they are actively using it out of their body.”
"Alongside this new ability I call astral projection, comes two new systems."
"Belief and Sorcery." She said.
"With the Belief system, the Law of Faith will be integrated into all life within this reality. This will allow them to produce Faith essence without having comprehended the law, a more diluted and slightly less powerful version. Just, Faith energy if you will. It does not matter what the lifeform believes in, with it, they will produce energy!" Alexandria said.
The construct shifted, a human brain appearing.
"Sorcery is the manipulation of neural energy. Neural activity creates energy, and this energy can be directly transformed into whatever the thinker desires..." A smile appeared on her face. "But, working in tandem with this is the Belief system. Belief alters reality. Believing in something emits a passive energy, and this energy alters reality to fit the believer. Though, it takes a great amount of energy for reality to be altered on a deep level." Massive waves of energy radiated off the construct.
"Belief is emotion, emotion is neural activity, neural activity is energy, energy alters reality. Reality will be altered by both belief, and sorcery at the same time. They empower each other!" Alexandria said, Julius nodding in understanding.
"The energy they produce will go to themselves, and the world around them at the same time. So, for example, if a human has a strong belief in you, the human god, they will produce copious amounts of faith energy, improving their talents, body, mind, all of it. But at the same time, they will emit Faith energy to you, and the world around them, energy that will protect them, and bring good fortune their way without having any connection with the Law of Fate... But , accompanying this is a downside! With the Belief system, the excess energy you produce, may make whatever it is you believe in, a reality!" She said happily.
"If someone is grieving over a lost one, and they produce lots of emotion, falling into a bad state of mind, and believing they are seeing the ghost of their fallen... Then they may bring forth a false ego into the world! A fake copy of their loved one!" Alexandria couldn't help but smile brightly.
"Now, mortals can collect belief energies, passively increasing their mental capabilities, talents, and physical qualities. This will eventually allow for them to control kreus better, making them spend more time in the lower realms."
Julius stood still, rather impressed. It pained him to say, but Alexandria was truly genius.
“My other addition, is the Bloodline System! Even if an existence does not have faith like most others do, they might have hope given to them by their ancestors.”
”The Bloodline System works by passing down the achievements of ones predecessor. So, if a human garners a large amount of kreus in their lifetime, some of it will be passed down to their child through the connection they share by blood. They will gain increased talent in the sorceries their ancestors favorited, or even be born with spell templates in their mind depending on the power their predecessors achieved!”
”It’s a system that will produce monsters in the future!”
