Chapter 732: Here it comes... (1/2)

”Hmm? You're bored?”

*Woof!*

”You want to play outside too?”

*Woof!*

”...sure. I mean, there's nothing much to do here anyway. Be careful out there.” Raven told the space beast which looked and sounded like a mutt.

It barked again and disappeared to the horizon like a shooting star.

Time passed by and Raven continued monitoring the young star. He didn't know much time he had spent here exactly but he knew that he had been here for a while.

No Outsiders came after Rocky's bunch, giving him a long period of peace and serenity. Raven continued his routine like a machine, steadily increasing his knowledge and insights amongst the Chaotic Laws which he can sense since he's close to the Outer Worlds.

Raven steadily improved upon his own Laws as well as his Heavenly Secret Origin. His cultivation base did became a bit of a problem since even without his desire to increase it or to make any breakthroughs, it was saturating faster than he would like, it doesn't have that it does this on its own as well.

This caused him to seal his own cultivation base. He didn't want to have a breakthrough here, not while he's undergoing a trial. This place is risky, although on those who are breaking through Empyrean Knight and Divine Knights will be branded as Outsiders if they broke through here, Raven has no desires to risk it. So this is the best solution he can think of.

On the other hand, the Young Star's growing nice and steady at this point.

Under his constant observations, it started giving birth to life and experimenting with its choices. It's maturing on a steady place as well. Thanks to Raven's aid and care it's growth looked very promising. Should nothing goes horribly wrong, this star should be getting ready to advance to an Independent Star soon.

Still though, it's going to take some time before that actually happens so Raven knew he should relax and maintain his serenity as he observed the growth of the young star.

Unbeknownst to Raven, he's acting more like a Hermit at this point. He grew so used to the peace that loneliness and isolation brought to him. He isn't aware that his meditations are lasting for years because of it. To him, the passage of time almost held no meaning, it didn't effect him nor corroded his sanity. It's just there, a silent companion like Loneliness.

His Avatars that's capable of thinking on their own, noticed this but didn't dare to say anything. They just let him be and since the original was like this, they were adjusting as well.

Raven truly didn't notice it. He knew that he's steadily losing grip and awareness of time but he didn't do anything against it. He didn't fight it nor held on to it. He just allowed everything to pass.

This very reason is why a long and slow transformation was occurring to him.

As Raven slowly lost his perception of time, the latter too is losing perception of him. Although this sounds rather complicated and confusing, it's effect is simple.

Raven's starting to fuse with the very fabrics of Spacetime itself.

Although understanding Spacetime Laws allowed him to virtually become Immortal, he can still be killed through several means, the most effective one is by Karmic Severing.

While it is true that Raven's losing awareness of Time itself, that only meant that his mental inhibitions are being lifted. The idea of being eroded by time is slowly slipping away from his grasp. Meaning that he no longer feel any fear of it. At the same time, Time itself is slowly forgetting him as well. This means that Time itself is making an exception for Raven.

If Time forgets Raven's existence, then it also means that it will never bother him ever again. If that happens, Raven can and will easily fuse with Time itself, allowing him to become one with it. This will allow him to gain access to everything Time has.

Basically, if Raven fuses with time, he will be Omniscient.

If he can fuse with Time, he can also do similar with Space. If he fuses with Space, then distance will no longer hold any meaning to him. He can appear anywhere he likes unimpeded. His nowhere and everywhere.

Fusing with Space will make him Omnipresent.

Space and Time, two sides of the same coin. If Raven can fuse with Spacetime itself? Well, he'll arrive at the point where he does not need to fear anything at all.
