Chapter 592: Individuality (1/2)

The more Raven inspected the interior of the checkpoint, the more he was convinced that this place is certainly made for giants.

Everything here was supersized, he even found a flight of stairs which would require them to leap just to get up.

Nevertheless, since they received the word of the Guardian here, it means that they were free to take shelter in here.

Speaking of the Guardian, Raven still found it weird that he seems to be paying attention to him. Raven surely didn't offend the Guardian nor did anything worth of notice to solicit his attention, he's just a supportive member here, so he didn't understand why the Guardian was even paying attention to him.

He tried asking the War Gods about it but they were similarly clueless about it. All they told him is that, the Guardian didn't have any ill intent when he did that so Raven can rest easy that they're not in any danger.

In anyways, Raven had nothing else to do other than to follow their words. He knew nothing anyway so he could only just go with the flow. Additionally, he truly didn't feel any ill intent from the Guardian, if anything it was more or curiosity, so he was convinced that the Guardian truly didn't mean them any harm.

Now that they're here in the checkpoint, the War Gods were surely taking it easy. They decided to spend a whole week in here before continuing the journey. Raven didn't mind this at all so he agreed.

And just as they say, there were truly merchants in here which offered some supplies to them in exchange for Merit Points.

The merchants aren't giants, they were humanoids at least. Raven didn't mind their appearance that much and decided to re-supply since he had the Merit Points to spend anyway. Once he replenished his supplies, he went back with the team to rent some rooms within the checkpoint.

It wasn't just their team who were in this very checkpoint as well. There are several individuals or teams who were taking shelter in here just like them. The Checkpoint has some private rooms which could be rented at the cost of a little bit of Merit Points. Their team rented their own private rooms and decided to meet up one week from now.

Raven guessed that the War Gods wanted to relax for a bit or spend some 'quality time' with some pretty lasses that were giggling at their presence earlier.

Well, that no longer his business. What matters to Raven is that, now's a good time for him to seclude himself once more within the Crown Space, to hopefully make some breakthroughs.

One week isn't that long at all, so he wanted to get this done as swiftly as he could.

Raven went towards his private room and sealed the doors shut, he even placed a sign at the door telling everyone to not bother him. Once he made the necessary preparations, he entered the Crown Space and started his seclusion.

Sitting down on the Stargazing Mats, and consuming some supplements, he started his breakthrough.

Raven's mind immediately became muddled. He's in void state where he didn't know anything yet also knew everything - the State of Enlightenment to be exact. Typically this state only comes by chance but Raven managed to find a way to access this state 9 times out of 10 through some special methods.

In this state, Raven's mind is in absolute clarity. His mind is extremely sensitive and could perceive the ultimate secrets of the world. This is undoubtedly the most optimal state for him to achieve his breakthrough.

Raven spend weeks sitting like that until one day, his body suddenly released muffled sounds of shattering glass. His face still looked serene and empty while this is happening though. Out of nowhere, Raven's eyes started resembling torches glaring with bright gray light.

His deep baritone voice echoed throughout his surroundings, saying:

”I am neither my past, nor my future. I might not be my present either. I am the one who knows about my past, account those experiences to my present and looks forward to my future. My past, present and future are only fragments of the possible reality which will only happen due to natural progression. It doesn't represent who I am, so it is not I, who knew and had the power to change those outcomes.”

”Such...is the Concept of Individuality! Break!”

*Crack!* *Boom!*
