'It's just luck; I already put material things into the sea of my consciousness so I thought about the possibility of the idea succeeding and then applied it.'
It was the strangest stroke of luck Maximus had to this day; he thought about old things and remembered the crystal ball that Hearts gave him on his third day after returning. He decided to ask the book if he had seen something identical or similar somewhere because he had already visited different worlds.
[You are kidding me? where did you get this treasure?]
Maximus was still unsure of what it was until the moment because it has never passed by him in his previous life, and what made him even more confused was the book's surprise at it. It would not be inferior to a treasure as he thought.
'I got it from a friend. How important is it for you to react like this?'
[Thanks to it, you will be able to fight on par with ###.]
The Celestial Magician's curiosity grew more and more with each moment, it was the first time they had a chance to level the tide for the final fight.
'Hurry up and tell me what it is and what it does.'
[It is an unknown relic that my old owner and I found one in a sophisticated and very dangerous ruins. To sum it up, it is the interface of {dimensional constructor}, the space in which we got stuck when we crossed the gate. We called it 'lost knowledge' and there was only one, it is amazing that there is another!!]
Everything that the book has talked about so far was reasonable and implausible, the truthfulness of the book can only be proven or denied by delving into this unknown experience.
Maximus examined the crystal ball again and from all directions, but it seemed to him like a huge, carefully polished magic stone.
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."
The heavenly magician heard a buzzing sound in his head as the tattoo glow on the back of his left hand; the glow grew greater the closer he got his left hand to it.
The book was automatically summoned and the crystal ball broke apart and fused with the book. As soon as the process began, Maximus was no longer able to hear the voice of the book as if it had completely disappeared from his head. The mark on the back of his hand also faded but another appeared. Demon's head with 15 stars around it. The shape of the book changed to look like a tablet from being an old book.
| Data from the book is being integrated with the system...... End. |
| Data sorting and analysis...... End. |
| Start retrieving the character of the book and integrating it with the dimensional constructor system...... End. |
| Last touches have been completed...... Start restarting. |
'...'
The system finished all operations and the book was connected to Maximus' mind as last time, but there were a few obvious differences: his perspective on seeing the world became completely different compared to before, and restrictions on teleportation were lifted.
'O Book of Knowledge, do you hear me?'
[I am here again... What happened a little while ago?]
'Don't you remember? You merged with the 'lost knowledge' a while ago.'
[I felt something pulled me out a little while ago and then all the sensations disappeared until I woke up now. What an amazing amount of information? You see that too.]
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Maximus felt uncomfortable as if something was coming to target him and it is very dangerous.
The sky over the tiny island was broken like glass for miles, and Maximus moved himself now far enough away from the island because he sensed imminent danger.
A giant laser beam miles in diameter wiped the island out of existence and created a hole at least miles deep, the sky returned to normal like a wound healing and water began to flow towards the crater to fill it.
'What the hell is this? We would have been doomed if we had been a little late yet.'
[...]
Maximus was surprised by the reaction of the book, who chose to remain silent, there was a mistake in the matter but he did not realize it until now.
| The blow was unfortunately lost... I wanted to eliminate you after you momentarily lifted the restrictions but I did not succeed. |
'How the hell did you get here? You'll pay the price, you bastard.'
Maximus shouted at the sky with all his might, it was the voice of ###. He tried to kill him a short while ago, using his last chance, but failed.
| Stop screaming, I can hear you clearly. It looks like you have full eligibility to control the dimensional constructor as well. We are equal on the chessboard, we are both queen but what about the rest of the pieces? I will silently observe you occasionally. |
Maximus saw him for the first time, he was far away and the vision was blurred, but a human form was visible from afar.
"He's already here. He will be able to do nothing because of the law of cause and effect."
'Wait until we meet on the battlefield, you'll meet your fate, so enjoy the rest of your days.'
| I am leaving now, enjoy your day! |
His behavior was really strange, as if he has completely lost his mind but he was holding together with great difficulty. On the brink of madness, standing in front of a deep abyss whose depth is unknown.
[pheeeew, he is finally gone. We do not have a chance to face him now. We must be prepared as soon as possible in anticipation of his return.]
Maximus never foresaw that the restrictions would disappear momentarily, giving the enemy a chance at such a critical moment. He regained his focus and then examined the surroundings for another island after what happened to the previous island.
'The breakthrough didn't go as expected, but that won't delay us, will it?'
[Please call me the Book of Dimensions from now on because I like it more. Speaking of theory, you are in the ninth-rank because you have the abilities and skills of a ninth-rank, but you have not literally broke through yet. Breakthrough towards it is only granted to those who have a very clear goal, a fixed goal that does not change with changing circumstances and places.]
The heavenly magician thought about the meaning of what the book said about his clear purpose. What goal has he always desired?
[My previous owner's goal was to learn, he possessed an obsession that knew no boundaries when seeking for knowledge in all its forms.]
Maximus, too, had a great love of learning, but it was not everything for him if it meant the destruction of his world. Knowledge is power and power is meaningless if not serving a goal, Maximus' clear goal was protection.
[Good if you found it, now you have to dedicate your heart to this goal and no other. If your heart deviates away from it, it will happen to you like it happened with ###.]
Once Maximus cleared his mind and had only two things in mind: his goal of protection, his way to that was to break through to the ninth-rank.
He involuntarily entered the sea of consciousness and his body and soul developed in a state of unconsciousness towards a new level.
The mana that was stored in both his storage points and the sea of consciousness overflowed and piled up around his body... The mana was compressed and turned into a liquid... It compressed more and turned into a solid form... It continued to compress, shrink in size and increase its temperature fantastically; the water underneath Maximus began to boil even though he was twenty meters away from it... The mana that was the breadth of a sea turned into a spherical mass that surrounded Maximus like an egg or a cocoon, and continued to compress until it turned into a new form: plasma.
Even after it reached this point, he was not satisfied with it yet, and the mana continued to accumulate and compress... It got smaller and more intense and the heat wave it emitted grew more intense, from the size of a boulder to the size of an egg.
It then got smaller and then exploded all at once, from the epicenter of the explosion that was Maximus. Everything was erased from existence within the range of a ball with a diameter of several kilometers.
The explosion caused even more destruction than the laser beam fired a short while ago. A shock wave spread after the explosion and covered the whole world, terrifying the hearts of everyone without exception. It was the birth of a hero who would save the world or a monster capable of destroying it, if he wanted to...
