The feast eventually came to an end, with nobles and royals retreating to their respective chambers. Conversations flowed in hushed voices, and the night air was lively with the atmosphere of celebration.
Julian, too, made his way back to his room. As soon as he stepped inside, he fell onto the bed, exhaling deeply.
His body finally relaxed, but his mind was far from resting. This was an important moment—one that would shape everything moving forward.
He had laid the foundation, but now came the true test. Closing his eyes, he focused on his own world. A surge of energy enveloped him, and in an instant, he teleported inside his world.
Julian quickly flew through the air, and his eyes fell on the sight of Guard 2 standing still, watching over the battle between destruction and creation. The void was filled with storms of energy, fighting and erasing others in a never-ending cycle. Julian descended, landing beside the guard. "Report," he commanded.
Guard 2 bowed slightly. "My Lord, the cycle continues as you predicted. But something... unusual has begun to manifest." Julian's gaze sharpened. "Unusual?" The guard nodded. "Yes, my Lord. The battle between cosmic energy and death energy has intensified to unprecedented levels. Their clash is so fierce that even standing in its presence is enough to crush someone, even an archmage. Yet, within the middle of this chaos… something is taking shape."
Julian stepped forward, his eyes narrowing as he observed the void before him. The forces of cosmic energy and death energy were locked in a violent struggle, sending almost instinctual shivers through him.
And then, in the midst of the chaos, he saw it.
A small mass—a perfect circle—forming at the very center of the battlefield. It pulsed with a strange energy and seemed to be untouched by either force yet born from their clash.
Julian's heart pounded as he watched.
"What… is that?" he whispered to himself.
Guard 2 observed the same sight as Julian. "It seems like... a world. Perhaps even a planet," he mused, watching as the small, dense sphere shimmered.
Julian could feel his interest rising with each passing moment. "Yes… it really does." Guard 2 turned towards him with a deep bow. "Congratulations, my Lord. You have just created a world of your own." Julian chuckled and tilted his head as he observed the sphere. It was rotating like a planet, its energy shifting between golden flashes of cosmic light and the eerie red of death.
It seemed as if it was struggling to define its own existence.
He folded his arms. "Hmm, I wouldn't consider it my creation just yet. I didn't will this into existence—it formed on its own." Guard 2 shook his head. "But, my Lord, this was formed through your energy—energies that answer to you alone. Whether willed or not, its birth was shaped by your power. That means this is your creation."
Julian's lips curled into a smirk as he stepped even closer. His fingers crackled with lightning as he extended his hand toward the forming sphere.
The energy responded instantly, twisting and shifting as if recognizing its master. "Is that so?" he said in amusement. "Then let's see just how much control I truly have over it."
Julian surged his aura forward, an explosion of mana so intense that the very air around him rippled. The clash between the cosmic and death energies faltered for an instant, as though acknowledging his presence.
The two forces, once locked in their eternal battle, parted as his aura cut through the chaos.
The sphere hovering in the middle of destruction and creation trembled as Julian's energy wrapped around it like a snake. The light radiating from the sphere grew blinding.
Julian closed his eyes, his focus entirely on the sphere.
For a moment, everything was still as if the time itself was frozen. The deadly energies faded, leaving only the sphere—now glowing with the radiance of Julian's aura. He could feel the mass itself acknowledging his influence over it. A soft melodic sound filled the air as the sphere began to solidify, its form growing more defined under his control. It no longer flickered between two energies but became something new, something entirely separate—shaped by Julian's hand, not born out of chaos. His smile widened. "So it begins," he muttered, watching with satisfaction as the sphere stabilized. Guard 2 observed the sight in awe, "It's done, my Lord. You have tamed the forces of creation and death themselves… and in doing so, you have given birth to something truly unique." Julian's eyes never left the sphere. "Yes," he said softly, but still held a hint of authority. "But what will it become... that is yet to be seen." He gestured to Guard 2, "Follow me."
Together, they moved forward, stepping into the glowing sphere. As they entered, Julian felt a surge of power course through him.
Once inside, Julian was immediately struck by the sheer magnitude of what lay before him. It wasn't just a planet, as he had initially believed. No, this was an entire universe, contained within a small, radiant sphere. He gazed out in awe, his eyes exploring the vast, massive expanse. There were constellations floating in the void, distant stars twinkling in clusters. Galaxies swirled in the distance.
Planets, some resembling the ones outside, others completely alien, spun silently in orbit.
Julian could feel it—each and every energy, responding to his presence. He extended his senses, taking in the vastness of the universe even more clearly. There was no boundary, no limit to what could exist here.
"Unbelievable..." Julian whispered, his eyes wide in amazement. Guard 2 was equally amazed. "My Lord, this... this is beyond anything I thought of."
Julian nodded, his eyes still fixed on the vastness before him. "Can you think?"
Guard 2 tilted his head, "Huh?"
"Nothing." Julian replied. He stepped forward and raised his hands, attempting to grab the air. As he did, constellations shifted slightly. It was as if the universe inside the sphere was listening and observing his every movement.
"This is different," he murmured to himself. "The world within my Sea of Consciousness—it was merely a coincidence of the merge with the cosmic energy. But this..." His gaze swept over the galaxies, the stars, and the countless worlds.
"This is real. This is something born to be a universe, something with its own existence."
A shiver ran down his spine as he processed the enormity of what he had done. This wasn't just a world shaped by his thoughts or desires. This was creation in its purest, primal form.
A universe, with all its potential, was now his to shape, bend, and command. The feeling was intoxicating.
This power transcended everything—any god, any mortal, any force.
"This is the true power of creation," Julian whispered with a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"The ability to give birth to something so vast... something beyond anything anyone could comprehend."
He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. "It took 3 supreme beings to create something like this. But since I can control all 3 energies, I have the path to transcend all of them."
Unbeknownst to Julian, far from the sphere of the universe he had created, in another plane of existence, something far greater was unfolding.
The three massive orbs that represented the Supreme Being hovered silently in the vast void. For uncountable centuries, these orbs had remained still, their influence reaching out only in subtle ways to the worlds below. But now, something had changed.
In the distance, a fourth orb began to stir. It was smaller than the others with a dim glow. Yet, unlike the other three, which remained unmoving, this small orb was slowly growing.
Its expansion was small, almost unnoticeable at first, but it was happening. I
As it expanded, the three larger orbs finally took notice. The stillness of the void seemed to shift as the small orb began expanding rapidly.
Slowly, it was no longer insignificant. It had expanded, mirroring their size and standing as an equal. The vibrations intensified, and a wave of energy rippled from the orb, covering the entire plane.
For the first time in what seemed like an eternity, there was a shift in the cosmic hierarchy. The fourth orb stood as a new force, challenging others.
Just then, the red orb's presence filled space, aggressive and fierce. The blue orb, though calmer in nature, also shifted with hostility. It flared its energy, cold and menacing.
It was as though the two orbs sought to maintain their supremacy over the void, unwilling to share its space with anything that could challenge its existence.
However, the golden orb remained unchanging. It did not respond to the rise of the small orb in any way. Its presence remained steady, peaceful, and unshaken.
It radiated a warm glow.
Back within Julian's universe, he felt the change, though he could not yet comprehend its full extent. There was a strange sensation in the air that made him pause.
His senses sharpened, and he looked around but could not find anything.
