Chapter Twenty Four, Sorcery!

Lokreum hovered between the bounds of reality, gazing down on a dark portion of existence, that hid in between the folds of space.
He had just watched the entire scene unfold, and he was rather intrigued...
It was a vast region, hidden from all eyes within the Apocryphal Domain, housing a supernatural existence of tremendous power.
Lokreum, the only entity knowing of its presence, was currently gazing between the veils of reality, watching.
"Time flows differently…" He muttered. "Reality… runs, differently…" It was a breath of shock.
He had manifested himself in another location upon feeling the anomalous happenings in this domain.
He currently had two bodies, one with Sage, and one within this unobservable universe supercluster.
"An existence, born at the Universal Aspect…" He spoke through exasperated breaths, appearing within the domain of this creature.
"What are you? How did you come to be?…"

Alexandria dwelled within the vast cave she was born in, her eyes glazing over the multitude of panels before her.
She had spent days and nights, grinding, elevating her power.
{You have successfully formulated the [System of Sorcery]!}
They displayed, her eyes turning towards a separate screen.
|Power System: Sorcery|
[Information]: In contrast to the widespread System of Kreuvian Aspect, which mainly focuses on the elevation of the Characteristic of life, the System of Sorcery focuses on the mind, and specifically, the unexplored area of Mental Power. With the cultivation of this energy, one can use it to increase the output of Aspect. But, if it is cultivated, and used on it's own, it can alter reality with much more ease. With each formulation of a [Magic Ring], around the ethereal mind, the culmination of Mental Power increases, boosting the effect of Mental Power, and allowing storage of a greater amount within the Origin.
From what she understood, the System of Kreuvian Aspect, created by some powerful existence, was incredible, but there was another route that could rival it with ease.
The power, and energy, known as Mental Power.
Though it was used in the System of Aspect, it was not a focus, and this was something she found, un…useful.
With the creation of sorcery, one could create a construct within the mind, that works as a blueprint for a reality edit.
A skill, or Spell, as she called them.
Though they held less power fundamentally, than Law Skills, Sorcerer Skills could be used more per unit of energy, allowing for a Sorcerer to beat any existence that used Law essence, if they were capable of defending their attacks long enough.

With the System of Sorcery, upon achieving [Resonance], one could officially start the path of a Sorcerer, cultivating their Mental Power and forming [Magic Rings] around the [Ethereal Brain], an organ similar to the Origin.
With the formation of [Magic Rings], the soul expands, and changes fundamentally, allowing the storage of Mental Power. Which in turn, boosts the overall strength of one's kreus as it infects all the essence within the origin.
This spurs the creation of Aspect Stars, filled with Mental Energy, increasing their overall power. Though it decreases the affinity with Law essence, reducing the generation of energy from their Runic Ecriture incredibly.
With the kreus within the Origin being replaced with Mental energy, the existence's body becomes slightly weaker, but it is not of importance when compared the benefits of the versatility of Mental Power.
All of this makes Sorcerers more powerful than other existences within the same lower realms, though upon reaching the higher realms where creatures gain the [Authority] of laws, the gap closes.
Sorcery didn't rely on the hard to comprehend Laws of Reality, allowing for the widespread of supernatural existences, letting there be a higher, yet still small percentage of creatures with these magical powers.
"Skills can be formed easier…" Alexandria said, swiping away the screen.
"And even the rate at which the realms of power can be climbed has been increased. The predicted age of those entering the realm of Universal Aspect has been shortened, reduced from 15 billion years, to a measly 100 million…" She chuckled, finding the large amount of time to reach the power she held, funny.
"It's a pure shame, the Universal Aspect seems to be the peak of power." Her voice trailed, erasing the screens before her from existence, as another was created.
[Status] |Name: Alexandria|
-Titles: [Dimensional Creature] |Mind Rings: 4| |Species: Dimensional Rysier| |Kreus: Minor Reality| - Origin Energies: 13 Universes - Form Temperament: Universal Filament - Mental Temperament: 4,096% |Realm: Universal Aspect (Peak)|
Despite having only a singular desolate universe, with one unfinished planet, housing life, the pure amount of energy, and the power of the energy, it held was unparalleled.
The Pure Mental Power, Pure Magic, within her Origin was so much, it was already equivalent to the energy of 5 universe alone.
Coupled with the vast reserves of law essence and kreus…
The pure amount of energy she had within her origin placed her near the top of the Apocryphal Domain.
"Is there truly no way to break past the shackles of Universal Aspect?… Will I forever be bound to affecting reality to a certain degree? Will I forever be unable to bring my ideas to fruition?…" She questioned, her head falling backwards as she stared at the cave ceiling with a blank expression.
"Maybe with the accumulation of Faith essence, I can bring my energy reserves above 1000 universes… I feel as if this is the only wall holding me back." Her voice trailed on as she pushed herself off the thrown she sat on.
"If I let Jaxon and his posse amass a reputation throughout my worlds , then prophesize the coming of many more… And then I spread Sorcery on a mass scale… Then I expand the worlds, create more inhabitants…" Her ideas spewed from her mouth.
"I'll surpass that threshold in no time! I'll be able to integrate worlds from the Major Reality into my own Origin! I'll truly become a renown God, gaining the Faith of my creations! I'll have my own religion… I'll be… I'll be revered!" A happy smile was shown on her face.
She jumped from her throne, thrusting her fist into the air at her ideas.
She seemed like a small child, happy at the simplest thing.

"A player of Fate…" Lokreum whispered, peering into the creation of Alexandria.
She was a creature, brought to fruition by the efforts of dozens of sentient universes.
With their power, they were able to create a being that was so naturally powerful, she could create Taboo laws that highly surpassed even the most powerful Natural Laws.
The Dimensional Rysier.
"So you will be the existence that shatters the balance within the Apocryphal Domain!" Lokreum chuckled, watching her move into her own mini-reality, appearing before a continental island.
"Without an Eldrid to combat her, the Apocryphal Domain will fall under her reign. Though…" Lokreum's eyes glowed.
"That doesn't seem to be a grim fate." His gaze turned towards Sage who was an inconceivable distance away from his body who was examining Alexandria.
"To be so powerful… Your Fate is so vast, even the controller of Fate herself, is unable to perceive your existence." His smile grew.
"You know what… I'll further the realms just to see how far you can go." He muttered.
"How high will a unique existence climb?! Show me how strong one can get without my interference!"
