zal was shocked as he continued to listen to words that Branze began to explain.
"Our true power has been limited."
That was the first explanation that Branze told zal.
"We believed that the Blessings that we have all tried to acquire from those Idols and Totems granted us new power. But Aron has proven that it wasn't that these blessings added or gave us newer powers, but it unsealed whatever powers we could have achieved! The Path of Combat is sothing that helps us release these seals and gain the powers that have been hidden from us! In short, Fate Challenger is the key to cultivating godhood! This entire Planes World might have been in so form of a seal. I have long noticed and pondered why each Blessing allowed one to use and move their Force energy in a way that is not possible before. But now I get it! The reality is, with Fate Challenger, we can achieve any job without getting those blessings! But father, this is only very specific to our family! The others can't do this! I have confird it!"
zal was amazed at the deduction. Was he, a Fate Challenger, unsealed from his true limits? The truth was, he had heard of this concept of mortals being sealed from his shaman father-in-law. He knew that the powerful gods and fallen had set this seal because there were simply too many mortals ascending. And since the mortals had no allegiance, whether, for Gods or Fallen, they slowly beca a growing faction which ford a third party. And this drew the ire of the gods and fallen from long ago and attacked and killed all gods.
"But why are we unsealed?" zal pondered.
"Father-in-law said that the gods have set that so that those who rise and beco gods or fallen will be aligned to one party and the other. The entire universe is shaped by the combined efforts of all the gods and fallen to limit all of the mortals. But why did my son conclude that this doe not apply to my family." zal was so confused that he had paused the ssage of Branze. And so, zal began to replay the ssage.
"The proof of this is to try to move your Force Energy in a way that is not that of a Paladin. Father, you are more experienced than Aron and . Our combined experiences pale in comparison to yours. You have seen how mages, warriors, and hybrid cultivators fight. Attempt to follow it. You can do it!"
zal was amazed. He stopped and closed his eyes, and tried to harness the force energy. His many fights against the various captains and even the champions ca to his recollection. There were even Champions within Airom Logat that he had fought with through another identity in his years of running away.
"I will definitely fight them again. I need to be stronger." So zal thought and kept harnessing the power.
The Force energy kept moving, and zal began to assu the form of various jobs within the Knight and the Swordsman classes.
Ravager. Quick Blade. Blitzer. Defender Knight. Fighter Knight.
"So it is possible! It's very uncomfortable. I thought that this was inefficient and that these Force movents are the limitations that were set. So it seems that I just needed to train in it!"
zal had believed the words of his father-in-law and didn't bother to train in the Force to imitate other job classes. And the world around him also did this. But the realization that he can do anything made him realize that it was uncomfortable because he hadn't trained in this. It also dawned on him that he has never seen another knight attempt to harness the force energy like an archer, lancer, or other jobs. But zal could do this!
The Force energy began to move and reinforce zal in a way that it and followed other classes.
The jobs of the archers appeared.
True Aim. Quick Bow. Master Archer. Ninja.
"It's true! I can do it! I can move the Force energy like theirs. Although it's weak and very ssy, I just need to train in it! But why? Why are we different?" zal pondered. Whenever he would study the findings of his son, he goes through this process of testing it to see if it is true.
zal had confird Branze's deduction and continued to listen to the ssage.
"We have our own Blessing. I don't understand it. But our family's previous madness and arrogance were with reason. In fact, our family may not be as mad as we thought! We had sothing that others don't. This could be why our families were targeted. Our family may not have been so evil as we were led to believe. Father, you know the answer to our family's atrocities. But I believe while we did commit many things, it was not worth the massacres we faced. The strange desire for the remaining families and kingdoms that want our head may not be because of our sins, but because they feared us!" Branze explained.
zal trembled.
It was true. Branze had dared to say the one thing that zal never explained. Yes, his family was cruel. But so of their alleged cris didn't make sense! zal believed that they were frad for many of it. And zal's heart beca lighter.
"Vindication." zal sighed as if the great burdens of guilt and pity were lifted up.
zal wept but continued to play the ssage.
"Father. Listen carefully. Try to imagine our force energy and wield it like a sword. Imagine sharpness. Imagine division. Imagine cutting things that cannot be cut. Our sword can do that! The Sword of the Steele can cut anything! Aron has awakened it. I have understood it. You can too, Father! I will now explain the Force Energy that Aron wielded." Branze began to explain what he saw.
zal closed his eyes and followed the steps.
zal was imrsed in a strange world.
A strange figure stood before a gigantic object. The object hovered alone in space, and this figure was even smaller than the tiniest speck when compared to this gigantic object. zal realized that the large object was actually everything in creation! It was all piled up as one.
Suddenly, the strange figure bolted towards where zal was and grew a million tis smaller until it took the form as big as zal.
"FRAGNT! YOU MOTHER FRAGNT! I TOLD YOU TO TAKE YOUR TI!" The figure cursed.
zal was stunned at the strange figure that appeared before him. The figure grabbed zal by the neck and began to shake zal.
"Do you not know that entering this place takes a huge toll on my soul? I'm already dead, and you three idiots are killing ! What's your problem with ?!"
"I... I don't even know who you are..." zal wept.
Why was this powerful sovereign cursing at him and shaking him like a magic 8 ball?
"You don't know? I am your ancestor! And you, unfilial trio, are really hurting ! My liver hurts! And I don't even have a liver!" Hyperion raged.
"Wha-what happened?!"
"What happened?! You ca here not knowing what those two idiots saw?!" Hyperion cursed.
"N-no. My sons didn't tell ."
"Oh, your son didn't tell you?! Well, my great great great greatest grandsons are killing ! FRAGNT!" Hyperion cursed in his frustration.
"Calm down. What's going on." zal tried to appease this creature claiming to be his ancestor.
"I am Ancient Sword God Hyperion Steel. And you three unfilial imbeciles are my three descendants! Through Fate and the other Ancient Gods, we have set this ti to happen so as to aid Beginning's champion. And you three were fated to awaken my powers. But you fragnting idiots didn't even give ti to recover! I was hoping for months or years of gaps until another one will awaken my Divinity! But no! You idiots took minutes! MOTHER FRAGNTING MINUTES!"
"What do you an recover?" zal asked.
"Your souls will trigger awakening and cause my departed soul to react and allow you to see this vision. But a single vision causes to expend great soul energy. And again, I cannot emphasize this enough. I am already dead! Despite being dead, I have to suffer you three!"
"Ca-can't you expend a little less energy now? My-my sons have seen this vision, right? They can tell ?"
"CaN't YoU eXpEnd A lItTle LeSs EnErGy? Are you an idiot? This isn't sothing that can be taught!" Hyperion howled.
"This is my Code! You need to experience it! And look! See that object! That is all of creation! With Sword Force, I managed to create the concept and truth of cutting. That is why I am called the First One Severed! Do you know how much energy it takes to cut all of creation and divide it?!" Hyperion shouted.
"... Can't you just like... get a small rock and cut it? Does it have to be all of creation?" zal asked.
"YOU STUPID...!" Hyperion shouted.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Son of a Fallen! That could actually work!" Hyperion Steel realized it.
"I an... as you said, your sons saw it. You need to experience it. I designed this grand vision so you could fully understand it. But since your freaky sons and you yourself took minutes to grasps this concept, it should work. You do have my bloodline. So you don't need to experience the full power of this." Hyperion realized it and waved his hand.
The entire vision of zal changed.
The two were standing in the vast empty region of space, and Hyperion brought out three strange boulders that oddly looked like zal, Aron, and Branze.
Scribbled all over these stones were various curses and phrases like 'DIE! DIE! DIE!'
"Umm... Ancient God... Wha-why-"
"Is there a problem?" Hyperion glared.
"N-no, sir. God, sir. Magnificent one, sir." zal bowed.
"Let's get this over with. Let the concept of Cut be created. Yada yada yada." Hyperion quickly swung his sword.
The three statues exploded.
"I am Hyperion Steel. The First One Severed. Arise, my descendant. Arise and fight! For the Battle against End draws near! Now get out of here, you idiot. Good riddance!"
The vision ended.
