Right afterwards, he moved his consciousness into Werlin's dream.
He saw Werlin meditating underneath a waterwall.
The water parted as he walked towards Werlin.
"It's been quite a long time friend."
"Who are you?"
"..."
"It's Zero!"
Werlin's eyes began to light up.
"Zero!"
He held out his fist.
Zero fist bumped him.
Then Werlin asked.
"Where am I?"
"Dude. You're in a dream!"
"Really? I don't remember..."
"That's normal."
"I have some good and some bad news for you."
"Yea?"
"The good news is I have successfully broken through to rank 7. It is more powerful then I imagined."
"What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is... you ran out of lifespan and died."
"But... I'm still alive?"
"I went back in time to save you..."
"You can control time?!"
"It has to do with my laws... as well as my artifact."
"First... let me handle that thing manipulating your dreams."
"???"
Zero turned his head and looked at the entity manipulating Werlin's dream.
The entity thought to himself:
"Surely, it is a coincidence he is looking at me... no being can detect my existence!"
Then Zero began to 'walk'.
"Ha! There's no way he could ever reach m-"
Zero beat the shit out that entity again.
"Listen here you little shi-"
Zero beat the shit out of it again.
"Why-"
Again.
Again.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Again.
"Fine!"
The entity vanished.
The world fell apart.
Zero appeared by Werlin and grabbed him.
"What did you do?"
"Don't worry about it! Let me help you comprehend a law!"
Zero and Werlin vanished.
Zero traveled around the universe with Werlin.
They explored various planets, solar systems, galaxies.
Zero had fun showing Werlin the world.
There was a problem.
After many years.
Werlin still failed to comprehend anything.
He still had slight comprehension in Gravity.
Finally after a long time.
Zero decided to adopt the same strategy he used with Obsidian.
He threw Werlin into a blackhole.
Then left him.
Once he died.
Zero began to manipulate the dream world just like that 'entity'.
He let Werlin experience infinite lives.
Whenever Werlin was about to break from the experience.
He would lower the pressure.
And appear as a stranger and help him.
Millions of years in the dream world went by.
Werlin's sanity hanged on by a thread.
Eventually Werlin shouted:
"ENOUGH!"
Reality began to crack.
Werlin was experiencing change.
He didn't know who he was.
Or where he was.
But he could feel something manipulating both him and his life.
He could finally grasp it!
Zero played as the villain.
Werlin glanced at Zero.
"YOU DARE!"

Werlin began to comprehend a law.
What he comprehended was neither chaos, infinity, space, gravity, or time.
In this world.
What he came to comprehend was 'Imagination'.
20%
He would battle this 'thing' that had trapped him.
He would put a end to its existence!
He appeared next to Zero.
Then used his Law.
A strong beam of light shot towards Zero.
Zero used a finger to hit the beam and have it miss him.
"Good! You're starting to grow!"
"???"
21%
Gravity began to pressure Zero.
But he remained unaffected.
"It seems, you are still too weak!"
Zero flicked Werlin's head.
Werlin went flying back.
He started to wave his hands.
He immediately stabilized.
He created a blackhole out of nowhere imposed over Zero.
Part of Zeros body was swallowed by the blackhole.
He then disappeared.
And reappeared whole again.
Right in front Werlin.
"It seems I've made a mistake. You haven't witnessed even an ounce of my real power!"
Chaos began to leak out from Zero.
Werlin created a world and threw it at Zero.
25%
Zero disrupted Werlin with chaos and the world turned into dust.
"Good! With that power... you could create a world!"
Werlin was becoming angrier and angrier.
"YOU DARE RESTRICT ME!"
"I'LL HAVE YOU TASTE YOUR OWN MEDICINE!!!"
He pointed his hand at Zero
"Power Seal!"
Immediately Zero felt all power leave his body.
Then out of nowhere thousands of swords were launched at him.
"How interesting."
Zero moved rather awkwardly.
His movements were chaotic.
But he dodged all of the attacks.
But a streak of blood ran down his face.
"!?"
He was then hit by a giant ball and sent flying.

He kicked away the ball and then found himself in a cage.
It compressed.
He waved his hand and the cage became deformed.
50%
Zero teleported Werlin to the center of a star.
But Werlins body began to become transparent.
He walked out of the sun.
75%
"AHHHHHH!"
Werlin's body began to burn.
Zero said:
"Good."
He appeared next to Werlin and covered him in a shield of chaos.
He then took him to the cosmic order.
The chaos began to evaporate.

99%
The chaos had completely evaporated.
It was at this time Werlin became conscious again.
He looked at the pull of water below him.
He saw both chaos and order chasing each other.
100%
Werlin then opened his eyes.
He saw Zero next to him.
"It... was you?"
"Indeed. Congratulations on breaking through to rank 7!"
"...!"
Werlin screamed at the heavens.
"I'M FREE!!!"
"What law did you comprehend by the way?"
"It seems to be imagination?"
"Imagination? Cool, I comprehended chaos."
Werlin tested out some of his abilities.
It seems he exist on another plane of existence which he calls his 'imaginary plane'.
His body in the real world is just a phantom.
It is impossible for attacks to actually effect his real body.
Zero tested this himself and was quite shocked.
"Isn't this exactly the type of power I need? With this I could have my soul be in an unreachable dimension."
"I would trade with you if I could. But Laws aren't so easily transferred..."
"I'm more envious at your ability to control time."
"Meh... I think the ability to create stuff is cooler."
"You're like a god now."
"I wonder... can you help me create a secret dimension to store my soul? One that cannot be reached?"
"Maybe..."
