At the Fifth Layer of the Abyss...
"This is slow…" Void muttered as he opened his eyes. His breath etched itself into existence like scars.
He had been studying "Rules," yet he had barely scratched even 0.0000001...% of them.
They were fundamentally different from Origins.
Rules were more conceptual than physical.
For example…
Death.
A Rank 3 being could descend, wave its hand, and destroy an entire universe. This was the peak of physical destruction.
But a Peak Rank 4 being, one standing at the absolute limit, only needed to utter a single word...
"Death."
And not only would the universe collapse, it would fade into nothingness. Quietly. Instantly.
All lines of fate and time would also "ignore" it, making it seem as though that universe had never existed in the first place.
Yet if one searched deeply enough, they could still find traces of it.
A fragment of history.
A node in time where that universe had once thrived.
But Rules…
Rules changed everything.
