"After the transformation stages of power, your body, mind and spirit, wouldâve been completely in sync with your abilities, granting you a plethora of advantages and uses you wouldnât have ever dreamt of."
"Now after this, we have what we call the three
Law stages.."
At these words, the entire class quieted down, I myself sat up properly as I could finally get a glimpse into the levels beyond
SSS..
"What are these
Law stages
we speak of?"
"Well, itâs easy to understand."
The old man paused, his eyes scanning the entire classroom, making sure we were all following, before he continued...
"After your transformation, your attributes wouldâve been completely infused into your body, whatever you had from before your transformation began, would become one with your entire being, what this means now, is that you can no longer grow via attributes, they have essentially become void, your progress in your physical and mental attributes would be stuck at whatever they were before your transformation began, this is why most emphasize on capitalizing every opportunity to break through your attributes thresholds, because once transformation begins, youâre set for life.."
The whole class took a deep breath, while realization dawned on me..
"So thatâs why even now, I couldnât find any new student beyond the C-rank."
It seems theyâd all been advised by their elders before hand, thatâs why they were slowing down their progress, they wanted to achieve whatever maximum they were capable of achieving within each rank...
"Yes, Iâm sure those who didnât know had realized it by now, the reason why despite being talented enough to climb through the ranks in mere days, many of you are still staying within the minor ranks, itâs precisely to make sure you achieve all the maximum gains possible." the old manâs words confirmed my suspicions...
"Now, one would ask, âif attributes have become fixed, then how else do we grow?â That question brings us right back to the three
Law stages.."
"
In ascending order, they are...
Law Comprehension...
Law integration...
Law creation...
These are what we call the three
law stages or stages of law
if you will."
"Law comprehension... Law integration.... Law creation..."
just the names of the stages alone already showed that it wasnât something to be trifled with..
This wasnât the first time Iâd come across the term "law" since Iâd already inadvertently started comprehending something called
[SUPREME]<Law of Death>
from my death grandpas a few days ago, but I had no idea just what it was or how powerful that law was supposed to be, since apparently, I had no business getting into contact with anything involving laws until the transformation stages..
"We shall begin with the first stage,
Law comprehension"
the old manâs voice broke me out of my thoughts...
"At this stage of power and even beyond, your genius becomes truly tested, since what youâll be needing isnât more fire power but a brilliant comprehension."
"Yes, the
Law comprehension stage,
just like itâs name, is all about the laws you can comprehend before integration.."
"There are an innumerable number of
minor
laws
and
3000
major
laws,
once again, at this stage, the importance of your bloodline and talent ranks begin to shine, this is because, those who managed to get to the law stages without impressive talents, only ever comprehend
minor laws
and that too with considerable effort that would never be worth the results."
"But those with talents and bloodlines above the
saint rank
, are almost always guaranteed to comprehend laws associated with their said bloodline and talents because you would have been incredibly attuned to your various abilities, thus significantly lessening the whole process of comprehension."
Most of the students sat up straighter, it seemed they werenât joking when they called them elites, because if my suspicions were true, then there were probably not just a few with bloodlines or talents or maybe even both, that are beyond the saint rank..
"Now as for laws above
major laws,
weâve only accounted for a few, namely:
Death.
Life.
Time.
Space.
Entropy.
Ruin.
Extinction.
Massacre.
And a few others, these laws are known as the
Supreme laws,
and theyâre infinitely more powerful than anything below them.."
"Comprehending anyone of these will be enough to place you head and shoulders above your peers with little ever being a match for you."
"But before you get excited, Iâll have you know that the requirements for Comprehending any of these are beyond strict, nigh impossible to meet..
For one, most of these laws are tied to talents and bloodlines that are at the bare minimum of the
Supreme rank,
you know what that means? It means without a supreme ranked bloodline or talent, you can forget about ever comprehending any of these.."
"Yet even with a supreme bloodline or talent, youâd still be hard pressed to comprehend them, because while transformation might have made you perfectly in tune with your abilities, your comprehension prowess is another matter entirely"
"If your comprehension wasnât heaven defying, then you can also forget about comprehending anyone of these.."
"Now, there are naturally exceptions to things and people, so while it is a general consensus that
law
comprehension
begins after transformation, the truly extraordinary donât let such a thing tie them down."
"The elite class that came before you, each and everyone of them had comprehended a law before their transformation stages, the ones before them had done the same and so on and so on.."
"Now, why am I telling you this? It is because it has somewhat become tradition and if you should fail, then you would be know as the first elite class failures in all of Aeternum history...no pressure." The old man laughed..
But he was the only one laughing, the entire atmosphere had gone tense..
The monkey had said earlier that our batch had some of the most talented students the school has seen in some years now, but here I was hearing that the elite class before us, had all comprehended laws before the transformation stages?
And this wasnât something new but a recurring event?
"Damn.."
"Hahahahahahaha.... Hey.. Hey.. Hey... this is much better isnât it? Finally some pressure, hahahaha... I canât wait, I can already feel my blood boiling in excitement." A boisterous laugh broke the tense atmosphere as the monkey sitting beside me got up dramatically, hands spreading outwards as he spoke grandly..
I found it funny, but it seemed to have worked as the atmosphere went from tense to charged, they were all geniuses, theyâd been called the best batch yet, they werenât going to allow previous nobodies show them up..
I could see the resolve and determination in their eyes and I couldnât help my own rising excitement..
I wasnât bothered in the least about my comprehension.
With
Chaotic Comprehension,
I was probably the most talented person here, if I had a look I was sure I could comprehend a minor law in moments, so I wasnât so much as shaken..
"Good, thatâs the spirit, now let me give you more motivation.."
"Remember when I told you that
supreme
laws
are next to impossible to comprehend? Well, I lied, as there have been in fact
four
people in recent times that have comprehended some of these elusive laws.."
"One was a figure history wishes to bury, after all, he single handedly almost destroyed all of terra, they called him
Dracul, The great Devourer,
he was rumored to have comprehended the
SUPREME law of Entropy."
"As for the other three, one belongs to the
ancient
Elowyn
family
,although she has explicitly declared herself unaffiliated with anyone, her name still rings true everywhere,
Lifeâs Breath, Clarissa Elowyn..
(A/N: Clarissa? Our own office secretary Clarissa? What??)
From her name, it is clear the law sheâd comprehended, The
SUPREME Law of Life."
"As for the other two, they went on to become the first ever
PARAGONS,
one bearing the Epithet,
PARAGON OF WAR,
the other bearing the Epithet,
GOLDEN VANQUISHER."
The moment I heard those words, my entire body froze..
"Thatâs.." wasnât that what my death grandpas called father? Golden Vanquisher? And War, wasnât that Valen?..
"Both were once students of this very academy and both had comprehended those laws before they ever touched the transformation stages, in their era, they were their only competition, the greatest of rivals and the best of brothers." the old man smiled, a nostalgic expression flashing past his face..
"But this, was merely their titles, epithets bestowed on them by fallen foes and admirers alike, but their names, their true names, you should do well to remember, for they were once students like you, sitting in this Same hall, listening to these same words of mine now, take their names as your ultimate motivation."
"The
PARAGON OF WAR, The envoy of Massacre itself, Valen "the berserker" Wildeheart.."
Thump!!
That was the sound of my heart beating as I waited for the next name to be called..
"The
GOLDEN VANQUISHER, Bearer of Extinction itself, Regulus "ABSOLUTION" Von Draken!"
THUMP!!
**********
A/N: okay, at this point I really need to know just how this regulus guy died, because bro is sounding way too powerful at this point..
And who else is suspecting a very sexy black haired woman of being a supreme law bearer???
