Title - Transcendent Eternal
…
Leucadius POV
Vector values connecting the dots. Constant Acceleration. Free Fall. Free Fall motion. These are all equations used to calculate fighting styles, techniques and trajectories of attacks used.
Energy Manipulation…Dividing the Energy in order to achieve a constant free fall speed and by calculating the gravity value of a blade based on the weight of the blade.
With all these mathematical and physics based calculations, I could use an ordinary sword to create a 4 km long sword mark.
Why and how did I come to the conclusion that simple mathematical and physics equations could be used in fighting? It was simple, over the past century I spent browsing through the book of Fate, I came to a conclusion.
The Book of Fate provides algorithms for implementing probability and causality manipulation in real-time. These algorithms can be coded into software or even practiced mentally, which in my case, it was mental
The Book of Fate also serves as a comprehensive guide that merges the theoretical underpinnings of probability and causality with practical techniques for manipulating outcomes.
By understanding and applying the mathematical and physical principles outlined in the book, anyone capable enough could develop their fate manipulation abilities, gaining control over the destinies of themselves and others.
In the same vein, Fate Manipulation is the ultimate control over the destinies and outcomes of individuals, events, and the universe as a whole.
It involves the precise and deliberate alteration of both probability and causality to ensure that specific outcomes occur or are prevented. In Manipulation of Probability, I hold control over likelihoods. With the ability to manipulate probability, I can adjust how likely an event is to happen.
This means that I can make rare, nearly impossible events occur with certainty or prevent highly probable events from ever happening.
I can induce good luck or bad luck by altering the probabilities of various occurrences. For example, I can ensure that someone wins a lottery by making the winning numbers highly probable for that person, or I can cause someone to encounter a series of unfortunate events by increasing the likelihood of accidents and failures.
Instantaneous Outcomes… this is a skill that dictates that I can also make desired events happen instantly by setting the probability of those events to 100%. Conversely, they can prevent certain events from ever occurring by setting their probability to 0%.
In terms of manipulation of causality, with cause and effect control I can define the relationships between causes and effects. This allows me to dictate what happens as a result of any given action or event.
No Need for a Reason, unlike natural causality, which requires a logical reason for events to occur, my control over causality means that events can happen without needing a traditional explanation. Basically throwing common sense out of the window.
I decide the "what" and "when" without needing to explain the "why" and "how".
I can cause or prevent significant events like natural disasters, sudden deaths, or even apocalyptic scenarios. By controlling causality, I can ensure that certain events lead to specific outcomes or that certain actions never result in any consequences.
When these two are brought together, Fate Manipulation is born. By combining these two abilities, Fate Manipulation allows me to exert comprehensive control over the flow of events and destinies.
I can craft and define the destinies of individuals, ensuring that their lives follow a particular path by manipulating the probabilities of events they encounter and controlling the causal relationships that shape their lives.
I can orchestrate complex series of events, ensuring that every action leads to a desired outcome. In doing so , I can prevent unwanted events and create specific scenarios that serve my purpose.
Fate Manipulation grants ultimate control over reality, making anyone versed with it, capable of dictating the flow of time and the unfolding of the universe.
They can ensure that their desired outcomes always come to pass and that any undesired events are thwarted before they occur.
In essence, Fate Manipulation is the convergence of probability and causality manipulation, giving the user god-like power over the fabric of reality, determining the course of history and the destinies of all beings.
It was a pity though, even after so long, I was still stuck at a mere 3%. The only thing I did manage to learn from the Book of Fate was how to better make my fighting style become flawless.
Looking at the two Archangels I had called to help me better understand what I've learnt, I couldn't help but feel a bit of pity for them. One was a magic expert versed in Holy energy manipulation while the other was a twin dagger style user, also versed in energy manipulation but unlike the first, Loriel, she, Soriel used it to enhance her physical stats.
"My King…I don't think we're capable of standing in as your sparring partner." Soriel said despairingly from her knees as she looked up to my figure.
"Why would you think such?" I asked while shaking my head. "It's not like I'd harm you, and even if I did, do you lack that much faith in me?"
"Apologies for my sister's wrong choice of words my King, however I do share the same sentiment, we are incapable of helping you bring out the full extent of your techniques." Loriel said as she used a staff to support herself.
"What do you mean? Despite how this may look, I'm also helping you two grow. If you can learn a thing or two from how I used my energy, you could manage to last against a Holy One for a period of time. Why do you think Hala is that strong?"
"B-bu-but my King…Look!" Soriel who had managed to stand up stuttered and pointed at the gash I had created with a casual swing of my conjured sword.
Looking at it, I could help but smirk in pride. Twenty four years into studying the book of Fate, from all the equations, formulas and jargons I could decipher, I discarded the ones that couldn't be expressed with physics alone.
For instance, I got rid of aspects like culture, respect, evil and the likes. Those were things that science could never explain.
Then I categorized the equations that use a normal multi variational vector as 1st, equations that require differential coefficients due to variation as 2nd, and for 3rd, the ones that are more sophisticated and capable of optical illusions.
And when all the equations and formulas were sorted out, 100 years had passed.
120 years into studying the Book, the fundamental laws of different elements had a higher degree of completion than their ultimate versions.
Despite that, there were exceptions. The Thought Partition was one of them. This was a technique that maximizes the parameter of the variables. Dividing your mind in two or more in order to use two different laws, equations or formulas at the same time.
This meant that mathematically, there were more variables that could appear as a person makes a single decision, be it in a fight, a life or death situation, an argument, anything at all.
This was a principle that required more studying.
139 years into studying the Book, the only things inside my head were lines, dots and sides, however, a certain question disturbed me. Why do the lines of certain laws curve at a certain point?
In order to lessen the standard deviation of the contact point, I have to use a linear transformation instead of a curvature. "Let's change it." I had thought.
But then I realized that while my mental strength could do so, my physical strength was insufficient even if I tried. The path of my Cosmic Energy was also uncomfortable. It was as though something was missing.
As that thought popped in, my brain went to work to find out what that was and that was when I realized. "I am a genius."
Not like I didn't know in the first place.
The reason why it curves is because of the critical point of movements that can be performed by the Human body, or in my case, an Eternal Physiology.
An example is how impossible It was for a fully grown humanoid to lick his or her elbow. Such action was fundamentally and Universally impossible without a special ability being at work.
180 years of studying the Book, I made a discovery. In physics, you can express the speed of light, but that doesn't matter if you cannot replicate the formula with your real body.
Even if you create the most perfect formula, it was all in the mind. If your body cannot replicate it, then it's all for naught. "Why have I not caught onto this simple fact?" I had thought to myself.
In the end, I must train my body. This was a body that was perpetually at its peak. Like all Eternals and Deviants, we were incapable of growing past the peak set for us by the Celestials.
However, with the proper manipulation of our cosmic energy, we could. So with a template created, my Cosmic Energy began moving around my body while modifying and enhancing where needed to be enhanced and modified.
In order to properly use whatever technique I can think up using the formulas and equations learned in this book, I had to make a physique that was capable of replicating the formula first.
287 years into studying, I came to realize how fragile the Human body is. Yup. While I was an Eternal and God currently, in Essence, I was still human, albeit Enhanced.
I had placed an imaginary dot that moved around a wall in my Mind-scape and tested out how many tries it would take me to accurately stab the said dot.
720,642,000 times.
It took me approximately 2 years Earth time to replicate a simple vector movement that connects point A and point B.
Is it really possible to replicate these formulas with a human's imperfect body? "Never!" That was my answer, but with my Divine and enhanced body…
350 years since I began studying the book, I realized that discarding several elements that cannot be expressed with physics was very stupid of me in the first place. I wondered why my absolute intelligence didn't kick in to remind me of that.
There is a reason why Body and Soul exists in one singular entity.
It is simply because with just physical training, you cannot have complete control over your body. It is ironic, that the only way to allow your body to become Omnipotent, is the training of the mind.
From that Hell-like world of visualizations, I was able to observe my Inner-self in peace. Inside my mind, I was able to split myself smaller than atoms or make myself bigger than the universe itself.
And inside my imaginations, all movements of dots, lines and sides could be replicated into completion. I do not know since when, but I realized that the boundaries I set for myself separating the World of imagination and real life shattered.
Because even if I didn't breathe or eat, I did not die. Perhaps this is what it truly means to be Eternal? 'Was I perhaps unlocking the Hidden potential locked away within us?' I had thought jokingly, but that thought persisted so I made sure to keep it to the side. I would surely come back to it.
400 years since I started studying the wall, my physical body is now capable of replicating and performing all the formulas perfectly. No, that doesn't express it well enough.
I can see the Essence of every phenomenon. Just like Neo from the movie Matrix, the laws of Mother Nature were fully assimilated into my full capability.
At that point, I only had one thought in mind…. Was I still Eternal?
(A/N: He's a deviant reject due to him looking like an Eternal, he then chose to continue calling himself as such since he had more resemblance to them.)
While still submerged in my Mind-scape, I could feel the attention of Great Celestial Beings focusing on me as my state of existence transformed from what it was to something else.
It was obvious, I wasn't just an Eternal any longer. I was something more. Something new. "Ah…!" Was the last thing I could remember saying as I fell into a state of 'Enlightenment'
And twenty seven years later, Aspect woke me up.
Looking at the 4 km long sword mark once again, I couldn't help clenching my fist and releasing it repeatedly. Right now, I felt more…Divine, more Eternal, more…Godly.
"That will be all for today." I said and disappeared from the place.
