The past two years have proven to be an extraordinary gauntlet for Aspros, defined by a relentless onslaught of personal trials that tested his very essence.
Yet, Aspros never found the words to express his feelings; instead, he chose to bear his burdens in silence, embodying the unspoken stoicism often expected of men.
Although he had obtained the formidable Tolerance skills of "Physical Attack Nullification" and "Pain Nullification," Raphael counseled him to deactivate these abilities. She believed that true growth stemmed from confronting and overcoming challenges head-on.
Aspros understood that his training demanded an unprecedented level of intensity and unwavering dedication. Day after day, he channeled that fervor into his regimen, yet the physical torment was nothing short of excruciating.
After enduring the first grueling week of Raphael's intense training program, Aspros found himself questioning the path he had chosen.
Why not abandon this arduous undertaking in favor of simply forming the microcosm, a less painful alternative?
It was an option; it was always an option.
However, that week of relentless training illuminated another truth. Aspros sought to see results. After a week, his physical, spiritual, mental, and soul attributes exhibited an exponential growth never seen before.
The method Raphael employed was unforgiving yet intricately calculated—a regimen designed to evoke tears even from the strongest of warriors while simultaneously unlocking the vast, infinite potential lying dormant within him.
The outcomes of his exertions were nothing short of staggering.
The results were staggering.
Aspros' diligence yielded remarkable results; his physical capabilities soared, while his mental, spiritual, and soulful aspects prospered, too.
This hellish approach was meticulously crafted to maximize the benefits of physical training by allowing ample recovery time for his body to heal and grow stronger.
The next day, Aspros devoted himself to honing his mind, spirit, and soul, nurturing each layer of his astral form.
Although his soul is supposed to be of the highest rank there is, a True Immortal soul, his soul can still be trained to become even stronger.
The careful alternation between intense physical exertion and contemplative mental and spiritual practice provided his body the necessary rest it craved, while simultaneously allowing him to cultivate willpower, his spirit, and enhance other spiritual and physical attributes at the same time.
After that initial week, Aspros went under another grueling and qualitative transformation.
That transformation took an entire month, as that was the time that Raphael calculated for his body to grow strong enough for the hellish training he was going to do for the rest of the year.
Throughout the month of grueling transformation, Aspros witnessed his physical statistics multiply tenfold, while his mental, spiritual, and soul-based stats thrived in tandem.
The purity and quality of his spiritual energy ascended to new heights; not only did its quantity expand, but the energy was denser and more powerful.
His spiritual energy was of the highest level, according to Raphael, but with training, they were making sure that their spiritual energy was vast, extremely dense, and powerful.
Raphael confirmed that although his spiritual energy already ranked among the highest, their ongoing training was meticulously designed to ensure it evolved into a vast, exceptionally dense, and extraordinarily powerful energy.
Qualities befitting a true Saint from the Saint Seiya universe.
Talking about a saint.
Aspros decided to become the Gemini Gold Saint.
Yes...
Aspros made a pivotal decision to embrace his identity as Aspros of Gemini.
Yes... Kaiser, who named himself after Aspros of Gemini from Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, after being reincarnated in the Marvel Universe, was going to become a Gemini Gold Saint in the Marvel universe.
Gemini, the emblem of duality, embodies both the benevolent and nefarious aspects of humanity.
It is, perhaps, the most fitting zodiac representation of human nature: Humans are capable of profound kindness and altruism, yet they harbor the potential for darkness and malevolence.
It's like two sides of the same coin; a reflection of our complex existence.
As the supreme deity of humanity in this new world, Aspros must epitomize both the virtues and the vices inherent in humankind.
However, he is not thinking of abandoning the path of the other saints. It is more like his main path is Gemini.
How will he be able to use the powers of the other constellations?
Remember when Aspros thought of wanting to analyze the universe, to make Raphael complete the fragments of the universe inside of each and every one of these atoms?
That is the idea.
After so many microcosms fuse together, the microcosm that will come into existence inside of him will be vast and powerful to wield the power of the other constellations as easily as water.
But that is an idea for later.
Upon embracing his role as the Gemini Gold Saint, Aspros received wise counsel from Raphael—he was urged to delve into the intricate balance between light and darkness that resides within him.
Though Aspros is fortunate enough to be free from the tumultuous conflicts that often plague characters tied to the constellation of Gemini, where their light and dark personas clash for dominance, his path is not without its own trials.
The problem of the effects of light and darkness on the spirit and mind is gone, as he is immune to the effects of both. But this does not mean that he can control the natures of each duality.
The Darkness inside of him wants to consume his light, and his light wants to cleanse his darkness.
Another reason he is immune to light and darkness, and that he will be able to reach a sense of equilibrium much faster, is due to having the template of HooH, the Aeon of Equilibrium, in the game of Honkai: Star Rail.
When the equilibrium between light and dark is achieved harmoniously, Aspros thinks that he can unlock a new dimension of power.
Well... he doesn't think, he knows that he will unlock a new dimension of power.
Consider it akin to the Yin and Yang chakra attributes found in the world of Naruto, or even the profound dualities illustrated in Xianxia Chinese novels.
The union of light and darkness opens the gateway to a myriad of potent abilities—be it commanding the shadowy forces of the universe or harnessing the radiant energies of the cosmos.
As the first year closed, the second year came harder and harder than before.
In the second year, Aspros thinks that he has gone to hell and back more times than he can count. But due to his brutal and hellish training, his power has risen to a new level.
During the second year, which is the hardest year, as he is supposed to finish his initial physical, spiritual, mental, and soul-based training before the end of the year, Aspros did the impossible.
During the first quarter of the second year, Aspros began to prepare his training for what was going to happen next.
To prepare for whatever was going to happen during the second half of the year, Aspros and Raphael decided to build a gravity chamber, just like the one that Bulma from Dragon Ball can construct.
Because Aspros has the Bulma template, and the memories of Bulma are stored inside a bank of memory inside of Imaginary Space, Raphael and Aspros were able to use those memories to create things.
However, compared to the gravity chamber that Bulma can make, the one that Raphael made is technically perfect. Not even Bulma herself would be able to compete with what Raphael managed to create.
After all, Raphael has learned, mastered, perfected, and later transcended the laws of gravity. She used that knowledge to create the gravity chamber.
That gravity chamber was made to help increase the intensity, the load, and training to a whole new level.
It started with ten times the gravity, and later it went to twenty-five times the gravity. Later it went to fifty times the gravity, and later it started to jump from hundred to hundred.
Although the jump from one hundred to one hundred and fifty gravity also had some intervals, like if the gravity is 150 times, then the next jump of gravity would be of 50, so the gravity can be 200.
During this time, Aspros began to quite literally feel like he was going to die at any time, but he kept and kept pushing his limits.
At the end of the first quarter, Aspros could quite literally walk under five hundred times the gravity like it was nothing. He would feel like his body was as soft as a father under that immense gravity.
But why the gravity chamber?
The training in the gravity chamber was designed to strengthen his muscles, his bones, to make his reflexes faster and stronger, to increase durability and endurance, to increase the strength of his joints, and to include stronger tendons.
It was the same workout as the first year, but more intense, and with the addition of other training methods that would simply increase his strength overall.
It was an internal and external training.
He had already performed external training for an entire year to prepare himself for this.
But the second year was focused on both. Internal and external.
This internal training was not just doing physical exercise under high gravity, but it was also doing mental, spiritual, and soul-based training.
The regimen was meant for both, and this training also helped to increase all of his mind, spirit, and soul.
Under high gravity, the levels of stress that affect the spirit, the mind, and the soul are insane.
Energy gets harder and harder to control, thoughts are harder to make as you are concentrated on not getting crushed down by the gravity.
Breathing also gets harder and harder to control.
The training was to gain strength and to learn to control said strength while gaining said strength. It was a double workout that would leave most experienced men in shambles.
This training had more results than the year prior, as his strength was growing at a constant exponential rate.
The intensity had increased to levels that even Gaea, who would come to visit him, would think that he was exaggerating.
Perhaps they were exaggerating.
Regardless of whether they were exaggerating, Raphael was the one who made the calculations.
She was the one who knew his body from all perspectives, and she was the one who knew the best ways to make his body stronger, more flexible, more agile, and way faster.
Raphael also justified the intensity, saying that because he had the templates of ALL the saints of the Saint Seiya Universe, including the one from the mythological era and other dimensions, which were Saints capable of killing gods, she added that to grow his strength to a whole new level.
This means that the training regimen he is following is a combination of all of those, and other concepts that Raphael found out when analyzing all of the information.
This training was designed to make a perfect vessel for his future power and go beyond all limitations.
For the third quarter of the second year, it was designed to develop and perfect his five senses.
But for that, he needed to be out of that safe place he had been for two years. Yes... he left the dimension of Avalon.
Aspros went into the wild to perfect his senses.
The first thing they started with was vision.
Training the eyesight to start seeing more in the distance, to see in the dark, to be able to see in the sun, and other things you expect.
After training his sense of vision to its limit and later transcending those limits, Aspros began to develop abilities.
Abilities like accelerated vision, which is the ability to see at advanced speeds. Other abilities, like aura vision, which allows him to see the aura of other people.
But there is a long list of
A long list of abilities: chemo vision, clear sight, death vision, life vision, divided vision, electromagnetic vision, gamma vision, infrared vision, microwave vision, radio vision, ultraviolet perception, x-ray vision, thermal vision, and blood flow vision.
Emotion vision, illusion vision, invisibility awareness, penetrative vision, periscopic vision, probability vision, supercolor vision, unhindered vision, and third-person vision.
At the same time, with his new enhanced vision, Aspros began to train his accuracy and precision to a whole new level. His vision is perfect. Not even Hawkeye would be able to compete in terms of accuracy and precision with him.
His vision is so accurate that he can aim at a person from the other side of the world and still be able to hit them with whatever projectile he has in his hands.
After perfecting what he knew of the vision, Aspros moved on to hearing. He began to train his hearing to hear the slightest things in the air, the
earth, and even inside himself.
After completing the training, just like with the vision, Aspros began to develop abilities that came from the sense of hearing.
Abilities like accelerated hearing, aerokinetic hearing, blindsight, echolocation, heartbeat detection, infra-sound hearing, invisibility awareness through hearing, lie detection, parabolic hearing, penetrative hearing, danger detection, sound detection, sound tracking, ultrahearing, underwater hearing, and even vacuum hearing.
The same for the sense of smell.
He began to develop abilities like aerokinetic smell, blindsight through smell, empathy through smell, enhanced tracking mastery through smell, identity recognition through smell, illusion awareness through smell, lie detection through smell, and even underwater smell.
The same progress went for touch and taste.
To even further perfect his senses, Aspros took inspiration from animals, whose senses are more enhanced than even humans. There are even more skills that animals can develop than humans can.
With the ultimate skill "Beelzebub," and the analysis of Raphael, and adding the information of multiple animals to his training, Aspros began to push those senses further.
After Aspros managed to get those senses under his control, Aspros also began to train to be able to still fight and interact with nature if one of his senses were gone.
This allowed him to fight even if his sense of sight was gone or if his sense of touch was gone. Or if his sense of hearing and taste were gone.
After his senses reached their limits, and to surpass those limits, he had to go even harder.
With the help of the Ancient One, Aspros managed to go to planets that don't have life on them. Aspros went to extremely hot planets like Mercury, Venus, and other planets.
Aspros would go to the coldest place on a completely frozen planet and sit there for days without moving, simply meditating to allow his body to adapt, grow, and strengthen his spirit, mind, and soul.
Aspros has reached all of the requirements to awaken his sixth sense, which are courage, strength, wisdom, and control.
During this time, Aspros has also trained in martial arts, but especially regarding the control and skill of them, not strength.
Through this time, he has reached the same level as Mikumo Kushinada from the anime and manga of Kinichi: The Mightest Disciple.
And what is this level?
He has trained in fighting style to the point that he can use his style of fighting and defeat anyone and everyone using 0% strength and 100% skill.
He has reached a level that he can even warp space and gravity around himself through his martial arts.
And what are his martial arts?
It is a style called "Six Styles: Storm Breaker God Slayer Fist."
It is the combination of all the fighting styles of all the Saints from the Saint Seiya Universe, all martial art styles from the world of One Punch Man, and even the fighting style of the Marines of the world of One Piece.
This has included styles like the Breathing styles of the world of Demon Slayer, and other forms of combat that this new world has to offer.
You can call his martial art the ultimate fist and kick, as his control over his body and control over his internal energy have reached a level never seen before.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Aspros is the best martial artist, as he has yet to reach that level. In fact, he is pure skill but no experience. However, if his plan of going to other universes to learn martial arts and learn other arts is still available, he will eventually gain that title.
After all of these two and a half years of the third year, Aspros can confidently say that he is ready to awaken the Microcosm.
....
Aspros willed the portal to open to Kamar-Taj.
Unlike other sorcerers of Kamar-Taj and other sorcerers around the universe, Aspros did not have to use hand-signs and simply willed things to come into existence.
This was the level of control, precision, and accuracy that Aspros has reached through his three years of training. Not even some of the more experienced sorcerers would be able to do what Aspros just did.
As Aspros opened the portal to Kamar-Taj, some of the sorcerers around the area, who were either training or simply meditating, opened their eyes as they felt the intense aura coming from Aspros.
The sheer power and aura that was coming from him, even if he was trying to suppress it, was enough to make some of them not want to breathe near him.
Thankfully, none of the sorcerers present dared to attack him, but he felt that one of them was staring at him as if he were the greatest evil.
Aspros turned his attention to said person, but his eyes were closed, just like Shaka of Virgo does all the time. Aspros was still training his senses through all of this.
"Do you have a problem with me, sorcerer?"
Aspros turned to face the figure who had been watching him intently. His voice, though not raised, carried an unsettling resonance that reverberated in the heavy air, silencing the murmurs of the onlookers.
A palpable tension settled over the crowd, as inquisitive glances shifted from Aspros to the sorcerer, each breath held in anticipation of the impending response.
"You hold darkness inside of you, and it is quite powerful. How dare you enter Kamar-Taj?"
Sounds of footsteps came down from a position, and the people from that position began to move aside to allow the person to come down.
The person who came down was Mordo, one of the most promising apprentices of magic in recent years, and even a close apprentice of the Ancient One.
"Another ignorant fool..."
Aspros sighed as his senses analyzed every part of the person who dared to confront him. But as he said those words, the face of Mordo became more enraged.
"Ignorant? The dark is the evil side. There is no ignorance in that."
Mordo responded as he got more and more mad about the situation. But Aspros was not faced with Mordo's anger.
"Such ignorance. The dark is simply a source of power; it depends on the user to use that power to know how to use that power."
Mordo became more enraged.
"Stop that nonsense," Mordo said as he prepared a magic spell and was threatening to use violent force if Aspros dared to keep speaking.
"No. There is no nonsense. It is simply you who has a heart too rigid to accept what I am saying. A person who has allowed his childhood drama to define the rules of the cosmos. Truly pathetic."
There was a long silence after Aspros said those words, and the eyes of Mordo were wide enough to be plates.
"How do you know that?"
Mordo's eyes were furious but also curious and fearful. Yet, Aspros did not say anything; he simply watched Mordo become a river of rage in front of him.
Aspros raised his hand, and a stunning holographic display materialized, shimmering in the air before him.
"I trust you've encountered the concept of Yin and Yang before," he began, his voice steady and resonant. "The Taoist principle that darkness and light are not adversaries; rather, they are interconnected forces."
"Darkness depends on light, just as light relies on darkness to exist. Consider the existence of angels and demons. If you believe that all darkness is inherently evil, what do you make of humanity? There are those who embody cruelty as well as those who exemplify kindness and righteousness."
"If you assert that everything linked to darkness is malevolent, how do you interpret the shadows within yourself that you conceal behind your rigid exterior?"
"Moreover, just because you endured a troubled childhood, does that grant you the authority to prescribe how others should lead their lives? Must I forgo the potential of darkness simply because you decree it?"
"Am I not allowed to harness the power of darkness to illuminate? Can I not use light to cast shadows? White magic and dark magic are merely two distinct approaches to magic. I can wield white magic while drawing on the energy of the dark, just as I can invoke dark magic through the essence of light."
"I alone determine how my power manifests."
Aspros declared, intensifying the energy radiating from his body, causing brilliant white and deep black bolts of lightning to erupt in a dazzling display from every direction.
The force he unleashed was potent enough to fracture the floor beneath his feet into a spiderweb of cracks, sending ripples of energy through the air. The sheer intensity of his presence was enough to compel even the most formidable individuals to hold their breath in awe.
Mordo, confronting the overwhelming pressure head-on, found himself drenched in sweat; yet, his resolve remained unyielding, firmly anchored in his beliefs. This was a testament to his character.
A person who views the world through a narrow lens often struggles to accept that someone else might seek to expand that perspective into something far grander.
"You are wrong!"
Mordo exclaimed, straining against an invisible weight that pressed him down like a leaden shroud. The force came not from a malicious intent but rather from Aspros choosing to wield his power with remarkable restraint.
"No. He is right."
The voice that pierced the thick tension was smooth yet commanding, cutting through the air like a hot knife through warm butter. Eyes widened as the group of onlookers turned to see the emerging figure who sought to intervene in the escalating confrontation.
Stepping gracefully into the fray was none other than the Ancient One, her presence instantly calming the charged atmosphere. She had witnessed the clash of ideologies unfold between Aspros and Mordo, and her discerning gaze detected the stubborn rigidity in Mordo's heart—a heart set against the radiant truths of the universe.
"The essence of magic comes from within," the Ancient One declared, her voice resonating with an ethereal wisdom. "Humans, as a race, embody a duality of good and evil. Our beliefs shape this duality, extending to every facet of existence—male and female, attack and defense, light and darkness."
"Everything is intricately connected in a dance of coexistence. Yet, each individual's experiences warp their perception of the world, creating divergence in their beliefs." Her eyes, deep with knowledge, swept over the gathered crowd. "We confront mythical threats not solely because they wield dark magic, but because their very nature harbors malice that threatens our people."
"Magic, at its core, is a manifestation of spiritual energy, a truth many of you hold dear," she continued, each word laden with gravity. "This means that our spiritual energy embodies our intent and nature. Our battles against demons and otherworldly threats arise from a necessity to protect ourselves, for their essence is fundamentally evil. Not out of their dark magic."
"Each and every one of you gathered here must grasp a fundamental truth: the world is not merely a tapestry of black and white. Rather, it is meant to be experienced through a myriad of shades, a harmonious blend of intricate greys that reveal its true beauty and complexity."
"The reason we, the Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, steer clear of harnessing the volatile energies of the Dark Dimension and other realms is rooted in the unsettling reality that the rulers of those dimensions have tethered their very souls to the essence of their domains."
"As I explained, the core of magic lies within spiritual energy. When the souls of those who command the dark dimension harbor malevolence, their intent is insidiously aimed at corrupting the souls of others, spreading darkness through the energy they have control over."
"We stand resolutely against these ominous threats, ensuring that none of us must endure the torment and anguish that those malevolent dimensional lords have crafted for the innocent and for ourselves."
The Ancient One's voice reverberated through the hallowed halls of Kamar-Taj, reaching not only Mordo, who wrestled with the overpowering impulses emanating from Aspros's tumultuous energy, but also all the Sorcerers gathered before her.
What she spoke was a profound truth, a revelation that resonated differently within each listener: some were ready to embrace it, while others recoiled at the very thought.
Yet, this truth stood as a monumental pillar of understanding.
The cosmos dwells in the realm beyond good and evil. It exists as an amalgamation of all things, swirling within a vast expanse that embodies the fundamental laws of existence—life, meaning, and the myriad perspectives that color our understanding.
The Ancient One herself had taken many years to truly grasp this intricate duality of reality and existence.
However, once the realization dawned upon her, a floodgate of wisdom opened within her mind, allowing her to see the world in a new light.
Her understanding deepened when she visited Aspros a year ago, who was diligently training to master the delicate balance between his dark and light sides.
Inspired by his perseverance, she sought a method to better command the tempest within herself.
This training method proved to be transformative, enabling her to harness greater energy from her righteous essence, creating a powerful counterbalance against the encroaching darkness of the Dark Dimension that lurked within her.
Through this rigorous practice, she discovered a tranquil state of equilibrium—an exquisite harmony born from the fusion of light and shadow within her being.
"Now... all of you learned a new lesson today. But it depends on you guys to embrace it. Many of you are not ready to embrace, while some of you are. Like I said, everything is about thoughts and intent."
"Now! Dismissed!"
The Ancient One said as she waved her hand, and most of the sorcerers nodded and left. Some of them were pondering the words they heard, and some of them simply followed the order.
The Ancient One gave Aspros a smile, and Aspros simply nodded and removed the impulse of his willpower away from Mordo.
Mordo, who was struggling and giving his all so as to not fall down, fell to the ground as he could not handle it, and the energy pushing him down was gone.
"Mordo, you need to learn how to pick your fights. Aspros is not an enemy. He is an ally."
The Ancient One knew a lot about Mordo. Mordo is one of those good sorcerers who became evil because they couldn't accept the so-called hypocrisy of the world.
That they couldn't accept that the world held evil, and he wanted to eradicate said evil, but doing that is impossible. Evil and Justice need each other to live.
Without evil, there is no justice to be served, and without justice, there is no evil to be done, as no one will do anything.
However, Mordo, who suffered from a very young age, had a rigid heart and believed that only good could really exist.
Yes... Most of the time, the dark is indeed bad, but this is not true all the time. There are multiple superheroes in alternative universes that use the dark power to do good.
Everything depends on the intent. However, Mordo is not ready to embrace that truth, but at least today is the day when the seeds of acceptance can be implanted inside the mind of Mordo.
"Aspros... you are here. I am guessing you are ready?"
The Ancient One asked Aspros, who was standing in front of her with his eyes closed, as he seemed to be meditating. She also apologized that when he entered, he was met with such a bad welcome.
One of the things that Aspros managed to learn and make a habit of was meditation. Aspros, when he used to be Kaiser in his past life, thought that meditation really didn't do anything.
However, when training his mind, Aspros had to learn meditation, and since he did, he saw the benefits that meditation grants.
Aspros also felt a massive connection to meditation, and this is because Aspros has the template of Buddha, Shaka, Asmita, Shijima, and other Virgo Saints of the past.
Medidation is quite literally embedded in his soul, spirit, mind, and body, as he is meant to learn to learn to control his power to such a degree.
The Virgo Saints are saints who are tied to Buddhism, and as such have the ideas of Buddhism, following the idea that only an elevated mind can allow you to reach enlightenment.
Although Aspros has decided to use the Gemini Saint Cloth, which embodies the dualities of good and evil, the Gemini Saint Cloth can also extend beyond that.
In fact, Aspros believes that the Gemini Gold Cloth can be more than just simply revolving around good and evil; it can represent both to a greater degree.
This is true as Aspros for the last two years, aside from the first year, where he just did basic mental, spiritual, and physical training, he has been training his mind to go beyond everything and anything.
And if Aspros' idea of creating a super microcosm, which is created of multiple already established microcosms inside of each atom of his body, he would be able to hold all of the constellations inside of himself and be able to wield such power.
"Yes... Today marks a pivotal moment," he asserted with quiet confidence. "However, I must ask a small favor of you. It's nothing major, and I have every faith that you can handle it."
Aspros's voice resonated with a calm assurance that captivated the Ancient One, eliciting a knowing smile from her. Both Gaea and the Ancient One witnessed a remarkable transformation as Aspros seemingly evolved before their very eyes.
He had become a man of unparalleled resolve, having traversed the arduous and excruciating path of his training. Through sheer determination and relentless effort, Aspros had forged himself into someone who would never waver in the face of adversity.
A man unburdened by fear. A man driven by a steadfast mission.
"Indeed. Come with me."
The Ancient One strode forward, her presence commanding and serene. At the same time, Aspros matched her pace, the air around them charged with an unspoken energy.
They moved purposefully, casting only passing glances at the broken figure of Mordo, who stood in their wake like a shadow of his former self. Yet, unbeknownst to them, a transformation was brewing deep within him.
A single illuminating lesson on life by Aspros had sent ripples through the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to hear it.
Mordo was not alone; other sorcerers, too, were caught in the tide of Aspros and the Ancient One's profound words. Especially the words of Aspros.
Due to the unique skills "Genius" and "Prodigy," the words of Aspros can do miracles. They can give the keys to advancing in life to others.
And due to those skills and the knowledge that Aspros has learned through his time meditating, the echoes of wisdom began to take root in all of the sorcerers who were present.
It didn't take long for Aspros and the Ancient One to reach the Ancient One's favorite tea place in Kamar-Taj. It was the same room where the Ancient One, in the original Doctor Strange movie, met with Stephen Strange.
The very same place where Stephen Strange felt the sensation of getting his astral form pushed from his physical body. The very same place where Stephen Strange had his astral form roam the multiverse.
"So... what is it that you seek?"
The Ancient One inquired, her gaze fixed intently on the striking figure before her, eyes gently closed in serene contemplation. She couldn't help but marvel at Aspros, the most extraordinarily handsome man she had ever encountered in her lifetime.
No other being, mortal or divine, had even remotely approached the unparalleled allure and exquisite beauty that Aspros radiated.
He embodied a wild, untamed essence inherent to man, emerging from the depths of nature itself. Yet, intertwined with that raw vitality was a refined elegance, an almost ethereal perfection that placed beauty above all else.
Aspros was a walking paradox, and there is nothing in this world that could ever explain it, not even the author of this story.
"The first thing I desire from you is to propel my astral form into the boundless expanse of the universe. I yearn to experience firsthand the infinite vastness that lies beyond our world. Just like you plan to do with Stephen Strange in the future."
"The second wish is... I long to delve into the world of magic. Or at the very least, I wish to immerse myself in the pages of books filled with knowledge, and learn the secrets of sorcery."
Aspros declared, his hand gliding gracefully toward the polished wooden table.
He lifted the delicate teacup, the fragrant steam curling upward, and, savoring the rich, flavorful tea that the Ancient One cherished, he took a few thoughtful sips, relishing the warmth that enveloped him.
The Ancient One, who listened to the request, had a very faint smile on her face. This was something that she had been waiting for.
As someone who has listened to how the system of the microcosm worked, the Ancient One knew that the microcosm could perform magic. Or more like the microcosm was the perfect system.
The cosmos of the microcosm is not just the power cosmic, but the combination of spiritual, mental, and physical power.
This is why she was not against Aspros learning magic, as anything that Aspros, in the future, does will be seen as magic or as a phenomenon performed by cosmic energy.
That is the duality of this new system of power, never seen in the universe, as it is a system that brings all the systems together and allows its user to become extremely powerful.
The Ancient One also wanted to see how powerful the spells performed by Aspros would be. So she just simply nodded.
She was also not impressed that Aspros knew about Stephen Strange. In fact, the Ancient One, whenever she visits Aspros and Gaea in Avalon, she has spoken about his "future" disciple to them.
"That is a very easy request."
The Ancient One said as her mouth was covered by the teacup, and she later put it down to smile at Aspros. Getting up from her seat, the Ancient One slowly but surely walked towards Aspros.
'Raphael... get ready.'
Internally, as the two of them watched how the Ancient One was walking towards them, Aspros and Raphael got ready for what was going to happen.
"I would suggest sending me to a location brimming with immense cosmic energy."
Aspros was uncertain and unsure if the Ancient One possessed knowledge of a far-flung realm in the universe pulsating with such vibrant energy.
Yet, should she indeed hold the location to such a place, he yearned for the opportunity to be transported there.
This is because with a lot of cosmic energy nearby, Aspros and Raphael would be able to understand the cosmic energy and, through that cosmic energy, understand the universe.
The Ancient One did not say anything, but her kind smile said that she understood everything. When the Ancient One was a few steps away from Aspros, she suddenly moved her right hand extremely fast.
As the hand of the Ancient One moved at speeds that exceeded normal humans, the palm of the Ancient One was imbued with powerful mythical energy, and this powerful palm hit the powerful body of Aspros.
Unlike Stephen Strange, who would later be known as Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, the body of Aspros did not move a single inch.
However, the only thing that moved was the astral form, as this one was being pushed into the universe.
"Damn... not even my palm imbued with mythical energy was able to move his body."
The Ancient One murmured as she watched how the body of Aspros barely moved. It did move, but the movement was so minimal that it was as if he didn't move.
Mind you, this is the same palm that has pushed the living astral form from the Hulk, Stephen Strange, and other powerful sorcerers in the world.
...
Aspros...
Aspros was calm.
Ever since he began to train his mind, spirit, and soul, all of these attributes had reached a level never seen before. Yet, these attributes are still evolving every second, every minute, every hour, and every day.
His training made sure to increase his mental and spiritual defense and fortitude, the purity of his energy, and how he can use all of these under extreme pressure.
So when he was pushed into the universe, Aspros did not scream like the future Doctor Strange, and instead, he was calm and collected through the process.
At the same time, Aspros also helped Raphael as he began to feel the cosmic energy around them as the places they were being sent changed second by second.
Thankfully, Aspros and Raphael could accelerate their thoughts to unprecedented levels, allowing them to think at higher rates that seem like time is stopped.
This allowed them to analyze the different energies of the universe, and at the same time, make a connection with the universe to understand it.
Although the entire process was very short, Aspros and Raphael felt like hours upon hours had passed.
They had been jumping from realm to realm and stopping their perception of time to take time to understand and analyze everything they saw in deep detail.
The experience was almost the same as the experience that Stephen Strange had in the original movie, but in this case, Aspros had some differences, as the Ancient One wanted him to see more things.
This allowed Aspros and Raphael to collect more information and more control over the energies that the cosmos seems to possess.
When what seemed to be a tour through the universe ended, Aspros did not open his eyes but smiled as he did not feel the presence of the Ancient One in the room.
It seems that while he was analyzing, understanding, and comprehending the essence of the universe, the Ancient One left the room.
Aspros didn't pay attention to this matter, as he was in the most crucial moment that was going to happen to him.
Raphael and Aspros entered a state of full concentration, where anything that happened in the outside world did not matter to them.
[New skills acquired.]
[Extra Skill: Cosmic Perception.]
[Extra Skill: Cosmic Power Manipulation.]
These types of notifications kept appearing in the mind of Aspros, as he and Raphael started to analyze and deduce powerful and useful abilities with cosmic power.
Through those same abilities, Aspros and Raphael began to slowly but surely decipher the essence and core of the universe.
The information was analyzed, understood, and comprehended. The information regarding the phenomenon that surrounds the power cosmic, and how that power affects planets, stars, galaxies, space, time, and other types of energy.
All of that information was being analyzed, deduced, and perfected at the same time.
The kind of progress that Aspros and Raphael were going through is not something a normal person is able to replicate.
The level of information that is being processed is definitely something that not many people in the universe are able to process.
Not because they can't understand it, as some people in the universe can actually understand some of the information, but not at the rate the information is coming and being analyzed.
It took a long time for the information to be analyzed.
Not because Raphael and Aspros couldn't do it any faster, but it was because they were double-checking everything. That is why it took so long.
After what felt like hours, Aspros began the second most important part of the process.
The second part of the process is to use the information acquired and deduced to begin understanding the core essence of the universe.
In other words, Aspros used the energy produced by the phenomenon to understand the phenomenon, and through the phenomenon, understand the essence and origin of said phenomenon, and the root cause of said phenomenon is the universe.
The second part went a lot easier as all of the information needed was analyzed, deduced, and perfected prior, so it was much simpler to reach the origin of the universe.
As the origin of the universe was understood, Raphael was finally able to get everything needed for the last part of the process.
[Master, for the following crucial moments, I would like to request full access to the control of the body. The following procedure is something that needs careful measures.]
Raphael's voice pierced the stillness, and Aspros, hearing the familiar voice of his partner, paused his deep meditation to listen.
Aspros also knew that what came next was something that only Raphael could do. It was not because Aspros couldn't do it; it just needed a lot of meticulous care.
This crucial moment also carried an idea that not even Aspros knew if it was going to be possible. This idea was to allow each atom that makes up his body to hold an entire microcosm.
Inside his body, there are around seven billion billion billion atoms. This means that each atom will hold an entire microcosm. After that, those microcosms will fuse into one to create a super microcosm.
This is a crazy idea, but if performed correctly, it would mean that Aspros would become overpowered.
"Sure, go ahead," Aspros calmly said as he was not scared of losing control over his body.
Aspros trusted Raphael, and Raphael trusted Aspros. There is no need to feel scared of Raphael controlling his body.
[Thank you, Master.]Raphael said as she was also getting ready for something else.
As those words came out of Raphael, a tidal wave of sleepiness swept over Aspros. Aspros did not fight it but instead allowed himself to rest while Raphael was going to do something after it.
In stark contrast to Aspros, who accepted resting for a time while Raphael worked, Raphael, now commanding Aspros's body, rose gracefully from the seated position.
With a mere flick of Aspros's wrist, an ethereal portal shimmered into existence before her, exuding an aura of mystery and foreboding.
This portal was the entrance to a dimension that is not attached to the laws of the cosmos, as this dimension is inside of Aspros himself.
This dimension is the dimension that belongs to the sub-skill "Imaginary Space" of the Ultimate skill "Beelzebub, God of Gluttony."
Although the skill that Aspros has is the perfect version, as the original skill is named "Beelzebub, Lord of Gluttony," the perfect version of the skill is the same.
Inside the dimension, there is only darkness.
This dimension is like the stomach of a beast that lusts for food because its endless hunger has eaten everything inside.
Inside this dimension, there is no time, as time is isolated, and thus everything that is put here does not rot nor change in appearance.
This dimension was the very same dimension where Veldora and Ifrit were when Rimuru ate them.
As Raphael, who was controlling Aspros's body, entered the dimension, she returned the control of the body to Aspros, but she kept him in that asleep state.
As Raphael is a part of the soul of Aspros, and she also shares the same core, Raphael has complete control over all the skills that Aspros has.
This means that while Aspros is asleep, the one who has complete control over this dimension is Raphael. And as the one with complete control, she can do anything and everything she wants.
Exactly these abilities are what Raphael needs to do the following steps.
And what are the following steps?
Trying to see if the idea of her master can be accomplished, and she knew it could be accomplished.
...
Raphael stood transfixed, her golden eyes reflecting the soft luminescence of the body of her master.
She studied the serene expression on his face, a canvas of tranquility that she had come to cherish deeply.
Each delicate feature, from the gentle yet rough curve of his lips to the faint shadow of stubble along his jawline, resonated with the affection she felt.
This was the face of the person she held closest to her heart-- the one whom she had been meticulously designed to protect, cherish, and love unconditionally.
This was her Master, the embodiment of her purpose and affection. As she gazed upon him, she felt her heart swell with an overwhelming sense of devotion.
She fixed her gaze on him, holding it for several heartbeats, a silent battle of wills unfolding between them.
In this dimension, Raphael wielded an unparalleled power.
It was the same as those dimensional lords in other dimensions; she was omnipotent and omniscient.
The same for Aspros if he were awake, but because he was asleep, Aspros did not feel this immense sense of control.
With a single thought, Raphael's intellectual mind was already looking at the atoms of her master.
Just like it was said before, each atom of the body of Aspros holds a fragment of the blueprints of the microcosm. Only when they are put together can the microcosm be truly formed.
The idea of Aspros was to analyze, deduce, understand, comprehend, and later perfect the information regarding the universe.
Using said information, they would be able to complete the fragments of the microcosm inside each atom. And while that is true, Raphael also wanted to see something else.
With a thought, all of the atoms of the body of Raphael's Master, Aspros, came together. Under some tweaking, Raphael finally saw the blueprints.
Although the idea of Aspros was correct, which was to understand the original macrocosm to later understand the microcosm, the microcosm and the macrocosm have some minor differences.
There were so many minor details that Raphael could say that a normal person wouldn't be able to notice them, but Raphael was able to figure them out.
With those differences figured out, Raphael was ready to start experimenting. Of course, she was not going to experiment with her Master.
To the side, on the empty dimension, Raphael suddenly willed something to happen. Some of the atoms she suddenly created, or that she used from the dimension itself, came together to form a microcosm.
Yes...
Raphael just created a microcosm. Or more like a pocket universe.
A pocket universe, or an external microcosm that was not tied to the body of her Master, but it was an independent universe that belonged to Aspros and Raphael.
Aspros and Raphael pretty much became Franklin Richards, as they had the information on how the universe works, how to create one, and how to create a micro version of it.
However, this microcosm was the start of something.
Raphael began to engage with it, and this "engagement" transcended mere childhood play; it was a deliberate manipulation of the universe itself.
She began to perfect the laws inside of it, and many other aspects of the universe that people don't take into account.
Raphael also began to understand and comprehend other things that Aspros had requested from the wheel of reincarnation in the past.
She began experimenting with the multiple characteristics to acquire infinite energy and to acquire a state of self-sufficiency. Learning to control and manipulate the manipulation of infinity, the manipulation of space, the manipulation of blessings, curses, and many other things.
The most important was the information on infinite supply, infinite energy, and other things that are very important.
Raphael is able to think at infinite speeds and do things at the same speed, but she decided to take her time. Quality over anything.
After all, the experiment here is to gather the information on a seemingly perfect pocket universe, and use that information to form the very same perfect universe inside of each atom of her Master.
After quite some time, Raphael was able to finally perfect everything, and she was very content with everything that she was seeing.
The next step is to see if that amount of microcosm can be put together. This also took a long time.
This took a long time because there are a lot of atoms, and each one of them needs to work perfectly.
Also, this was simply the step of calculation, not the actual formation of multiple microcosms inside each atom of Aspros.
This process also took a long time to figure out, but it was not impossible; it was simply tedious to do because of how many atoms there are.
After all the calculations were done, Raphael tried it.
The small pocket universe that was perfect suddenly began to change. It grew a bit more in terms of size, its quality and density was something never seen before.
This was a super-microcosm.
It was not simply a microcosm that grew a bit in size, quantity, and so on. This was an actual super-microcosm.
The reason this microcosm was a big deal is because of what Aspros represents. Aspros, in the Marvel world, is the fusion of multiple templates of powerful individuals from the world of Saint Seiya and other universes.
The microcosm of Aspros is divine, much bigger, much stronger, and much more versatile than normal.
If Aspros went the normal route of the microcosm, he still would be insanely strong. Still, because he had an idea and that idea was possible, the super microcosm was born.
This super-microcosm is extremely vast, extremely powerful, holds quite literally infinite potential for growth, literally has infinite energy, and so on.
This super-microcosm is already as big as the universe itself, but it can still grow and grow.
With the template for the super-microcosm ready, Raphael moved on to another thing.
This next objective was to perfect the body of her Master.
Over the last three years, Aspros has been training his body to the point that most other people would've quit. And while this training was extremely important as it allowed Aspros to become extremely strong, it doesn't mean that his body is perfect.
Not in terms of appearance, but in terms of what makes it.
So the very first thing that Raphael did was to solve the problem of the cells decaying. Solving the problem of not being able to live for many years.
With her knowledge of the human body, bioengineering, and her own skill set that allows her to find all kinds of information, Raphael was quick to find the problem.
Raphael solved the problem of cell divisions, the problem of aging, and the problem of not being able to evolve further. Or more like the problem where the body keeps evolving, but it starts to evolve bizarrely.
Aspros will continue to evolve and adapt, but the problem of going away from his original form is solved.
Raphael also began to perfect each bone, each muscle fiber, each muscle, each cell, each tissue, each artery, and each vein.
This included the respiratory system, the digestive system, the endocrine system, the renal system, the nervous system, and other things related to the body.
This included skin, hair, eyes, and other things. It didn't change the original aspect of Aspros, but it made it better.
You can say that biologically, Aspros is the perfect human god. However, when reaching perfection, there is no more growth, right?
This is certainly right for some people.
However, for Raphael, who can think illogically, analyze the impossible, and even omnipotence, nothing is impossible for her.
What she did was to perfect the body of her Master, not lose the ability to grow, adapt, evolve, and so on.
Like some people say, perfection is only the starting point for something greater.
Although this was every single atom, single molecule, each cell, and many other things that make her Master, her Master's strength did not increase nor decrease.
This is because Raphael knew that if she changed anything, it would mean stepping on the hard work that her master had gone through.
The objective was to perfect what was already there, not adding or subtracting.
Now...
Why was it needed to perfect the body?
After checking the memories, bio-data, the spiritual, mental, and soul-based data of the beings (templates) that make up her Master in this new reality, as said data is available to her, she was able to understand a truth.
In the world of Saint Seiya, the titans, the primordial gods of the universe, were created by the cosmos itself.
They were literally manifestations of the fundamental forces of the universe. Their microcosm was not trained but born with them.
They were created to specifically represent fundamental laws and forces of the universe, and thus their body and microcosms embodied that.
Whenever Gaia, the primordial force of Earth, was born, she also gave birth to Uranus, the sky. The two of them gave birth to the Titans, the Cyclops, and so on.
The youngest one, Kronos, was also the strongest one; he overturned the tyrannical rule of Uranus and became the leader of the second generation of Titans.
After that, Rhea and Kronus would marry and give birth to the third generation of Titans, which would later become the Olympians. Instead of calling themselves Titans, they called themselves gods.
The youngest son of Kronus, Zeus, overthrew the same tyrannical rule of Kronus and later became the King of the Gods.
The reason this is mentioned is that if the body of the wielder is perfectly made to wield the power of the microcosm, the stronger the person.
Raphael also had the idea of making the body of her Master more perfectly created for the microcosm.
That is why she wanted to perfect the body of her Master.
When everything was done, Raphael did not begin the process of completing the fragments inside of each atom of her Master's body, but in turn, she turned to the soul of her Master.
She remembered one of the magics that she had stored in her mind, which is the Third Magic of the world of Fate.
The magic of soul materialization.
What does this even mean?
In the world of Fate, the third true magic is the magic of the name of "Heaven's Feel."
This magic is the ability to convert a soul-something normally invisible, spiritual, metaphysical, and non-physical-- into a stable, physical, eternal form, allowing it to function directly in the real world without a body and without ever decaying.
The soul in the world of fate is like in the world of Tensura and in the Marvel universe; it contains the information particles, the consciousness, and the spiritual energy that is used for magical structure.
Like the material body, it will naturally decay, erode, and return to the Root after death. This process takes place alongside the decay of the physical body.
This is because a soul cannot exist independently in the real world without a body or vessel-- at least not for long.
The soul materialization magic of Heaven's Feel is a true, perfect immortality. The soul becomes ageless, immune to decay, immune to the death of the body, and impossible to destroy by normal means.
In the world of Saint Seiya, the microcosm not only embodies the body but also the soul. This is because even a soul contains atoms.
When the atoms of the body and the soul connect, they unify and create the microcosm. This is why some saints are able to interact with souls, spirits, and so on.
Raphael, with a single thought, inside this dimension where she controlled everything, separated the soul from the body of her Master.
Inside the soul of her Master, she also resides, so she sees herself from a higher point of view.
Raphael shook those thoughts away from her and simply began to work.
She began to analyze every single spiritual atom, every spiritual particle, and every part that makes the core, and so on.
This time it didn't take that long because the information was vast, but not as vast as the information of the universe.
As the information was complete, Raphael began to make some adjustments as she didn't like what she was seeing.
Just like the physical body, the soul and the core had some major problems that needed to be addressed.
While they weren't as problematic as cell divisions and so on, it was tedious because it involved the two dualities of her Master.
Light and darkness.
The adjustments were necessary and also unnecessary, but they allowed for her Master to grow more in the future.
When the process of improving the soul of her Master was done, without any problems, Raphael began to perfect the Heaven's Feel magic.
The Heaven's Feel Magic in the playable novels, light novels, and anime of Fate was not complete.
However, this is Raphael we are talking about.
It didn't take long for Raphael to perfect said magic and make it even more powerful than the original. Especially when Raphael acquired so much information regarding the soul.
The soul of Aspros is a true immortal soul and already contains multiple types of immortality. His soul is not just immortal. His spirit and mind are also immortal.
Like we said, the mind and the spirit are different layers of the soul. If the soul is immortal, the spirit and the mind are also immortal.
Of course, they can be damaged, but neither of the three will truly be destroyed.
The Heaven's Feel magic of materialization will materialize the soul, and also add another type of immortality to it, which is the entire point of the Heaven's Feel magic.
This means that Aspros' soul, which is a soul that has multiple types and layers of immortality, will materialize, and even within that materialization, it will gain a new type of immortality that allows it to never decay and be affected by normal means.
This is the equivalent of Aspros becoming an immortal spiritual life form.
In the world of Fate, when the true Third Magic is performed, this is quite literally turning the soul into a perpetual motion machine.
Why?
In the world of Fate, mana, or refined spiritual energy, comes from the soul, and the mana circuits that the physical body has are merely reflections of the soul.
The physical body is more like a regulator of said energy and the container of the soul.
This is proven by multiple universes.
This is because if a person has a strong soul and a strong body, their body possesses insane levels of mana.
So... when the soul is quite literally materialized through the Third Magic, Heaven's Feel, the soul becomes a perpetual motion machine.
Like we said, the Third Magic allows for a soul to never decay, never age, and it can never be destroyed by normal means.
But for a perpetual motion machine, it requires an action.
The action here is that the soul, since its birth, starts to generate energy.
So when the Third Magic is applied, the soul becomes a perpetual motion machine that never stops producing spiritual energy in the form of mana.
This means that the soul can literally generate energy endlessly. The used energy is either generated normally or regenerated through the effects of the third magic.
So... in this moment, Aspros' soul will become materialized and become a true perpetual motion machine.
But... what about Aspros's body? It is still there, as Raphael separated both.
What Raphael wanted to do was to combine the materialized soul, which is the equivalent of being a spiritual-life form in the world of Tensura, with the body of her master.
But... why?
The soul and the physical body were already together; why separate them, make the soul materialize, and later try to combine the body and the soul again?
This is because Raphael wanted to do something else.
In the world of Tensura, the final evolution for whatever race there is, is to reach divinity.
Divinity is reached when an individual has reached the awakening of their spirit and soul, and at the same time, has awakened their material body.
When the two awakened factors combine, divinity is reached, and thus, one becomes completely immortal.
The body of Aspros always had divine blood, but said divine blood needed to be awakened, and the body needed to become much stronger.
Through those three years, Aspros not only awakened his divine blood but also pushed his body beyond what any human, god, or any other being would do.
This allowed his body to awaken.
The same thing for the soul, the soul was also divine and humane in nature; it just needed to be awakened through enlightenment and training. Aspros awakened his soul with overqualifications.
But because in this world, Aspros couldn't evolve into a spiritual life-form, there was no way to actually merge the two.
But inside this space, Raphael was finally able to separate the two, allow the soul to materialize, and later combine the two perfectly.
Unlike the world of Tensura, Raphael solved the problem of becoming an entirely being made of energy. It is the perfect fusion of the two.
Aspros was born into the world of Marvel as a human god, but his body and soul had not awakened, so he was not a divine human or a human god.
This was the plan, and Raphael was going to make it.
The first step was to materialize the soul of Aspros.
With a thought, Raphael surrounded the soul of Aspros, her master, in a white golden light. This light was the implementation of the Third Magic of the world of Fate, Heaven's Feel.
The energy to perform it came from the pocket universe that Raphael had created, as this pocket universe contains infinite energy.
The energy needed to perform the third magic is extremely high, which is why the energy from the pocket universe was needed.
As the glow of the third magic began to slowly but surely diminish, the only thing that was there was another body of her Master, Aspros.
Two aspros were present.
How come there is another body?
This is because the spirit and the soul have materialized, and just like in the world of Bleach and the world of Tensura, the materialized spirit and soul look like the physical body.
As this part was completed, Raphael nodded in accomplishment, but she later began to work once again.
She forced the materialized soul body of her Master, and the material or physical body of her master, to come closer.
At the same time, Raphael summoned something that had been sealed for some time, and these were the godheads of Aspros.
Aspros has multiple godheads.
These godheads were sealed, but Aspros, during the three years, would unseal them to practice with them. But it was not for long.
With everything ready for what was going to happen next, Raphael finally began to combine the soul body and the physical body of her master.
As the process took result, through the process, Raphael smiled. Just like she calculated, the combination of an awakened body and an awakened soul meant the start of a divinity.
However, the final step was to add the godhead.
After knowing that the process required a godhead to finish, Raphael quickly fused the godheads of Aspros into the now divine yet human body of Aspros.
When the process was done, Raphael smiled.
Her Master, Aspros, quite literally became a human god.
At the beginning of the story, Aspros was human yet divine, but neither had successfully awakened to mean something.
Aspros was only a god through title only, not an actual god.
Yes... he had a godhead and some sense of divinity, but it was not actual divinity.
You can say that Aspros was in the same boat as the reincarnations of Athena. The reincarnations of Athena are human, but their cosmos is divine because they are the reincarnation of Athena.
The very same happened to Aspros.
Now that both his body and soul are awakened, Aspros has finally reached the necessary level to become a human god.
Right now, Aspros truly embodies the concept of infinity. Not as infinity like the abstract entity known as infinity, but embodying the infinite potential of humans, yet having the almighty power of the gods.
The last step is to complete the fragments of the microcosm inside of each atom with a complete, perfect microcosm with the template she created, and later return the control of the body to her Master.
This is what happened.
For what felt like hours, Raphael began to complete the fragments of the microcosm inside of each atom, thus creating a complete microcosm.
However, inside those microcosms that were inside each atom, there were the blueprints of the super-microcosm.
The only way Raphael managed to combine each microcosm that was inside that ridiculous number of atoms and complete the idea of her Master was to replicate the original idea.
The original idea is that inside each atom, there are blueprints, or fragments, and when the atoms of the entire body unify, the microcosm is formed.
This happens when the five senses of the body have transcended, and the person is able to perceive the cosmic energy that surrounds everyone and everything.
Of course, it is not the only way to make it, but it was the most optimal, and it showed the best results.
Technically, it was to replicate the original microcosm.
The original microcosm has its fragments inside each atom. When those atoms come together, the blueprints of the microcosm are there, but this is only accessible when the five senses are able to perceive the cosmic energy around everyone.
For the super-microcosm, inside of each microcosm, inside of each atom, there are the blueprints of the super-microcosms.
When they are unified, the super microcosm can be formed and also reach the sixth sense.
In conclusion, what had to be done was to simply do the original idea, but on a larger scale.
After what felt like hours, Raphael finally finished doing everything. This meant that Raphael could finally give back the control of the body to her Master and go back to her favorite place, which is inside the soul of her master.
But before doing that, Raphael also began to formulate the easiest way to obtain the sixth sense and the seventh sense.
She also began to formulate training regimens for each sense.
Because Aspros is about to form the super-microcosm and reach the sixth sense, it doesn't mean that Aspros doesn't need to master the abilities that the sixth sense can grant.
Practice makes perfect.
This is something that Aspros and Raphael learned, and while it is ironic that Raphael is saying that, it is true.
Raphael has perfect skills, but over this past year, she has learned a lot about her skills and other things. This means that even a perfect skill like Raphael can learn and practice to become better.
What about the eighth sense and the ninth sense?
Those can be analyzed later, as they require more time and more information than what Aspros and Raphael possess.
Raphael also began to see how she could fit all of the constellations of the Saints inside the super-microcosm.
Strangely enough, it was not as difficult.
With everything completely integrated and done, Raphael simply took control of the body of her Master, exited the dimension, and allowed the consciousness of her Master to come back to the real world.
