Patrick stood before the mirror as he observed his physique; although having a masculine physical frame, his skin was tender and smooth like silk, almost matching that of a woman's skin. The wound he received from William earlier was no more, as it healed the instant Grace had appeared before him. In addition to the significant change in bodily appearance, Patrick also noticed another change, which was in his eyes. His previously golden eyes now had silver sprinkles, with infinity symbols on each eye as his pupils. Calmly squinting his eyes as if testing them, Patrick expressed impressively.
"Not bad. Grace, what special ability do they possess?"
"Master, as of current, your 'Eyes of Infinity' are not activated. As for their capability, I was not installed with the answer, nor was it in my functions or features; but Master can activate them whenever you please."
"Hmm... if my eyes being activated was a necessity, they would already be activated. I will ignore it for now; let's see to my naked appearance first."
Patrick spoke with clarity as if knowing why his eyes weren't activated. But he ignored the matter and switched his attention to his naked body. He now stood 6'6" tall with disheveled silver hair, which was at least five inches long and could fall below his ears if wet. Suddenly, as if Patrick had ordered it, a ten-foot-wide sky materialized above him, what followed was a shower-like rain, but the rain was golden-colored. Patrick showered under the continuous pour of golden liquid, his hands repeatedly going through his hair as he cleaned himself. Not long after, the shower ceased, and the sky disappeared, leaving the soaked Patrick alone in the spacious chamber.
"Grace, give me a fitting outfit."
Patrick spoke as three white towels simultaneously appeared on his waist, neck, and arm, with him using the towel in his left hand to wipe his face. Heeding her Master's commands, Grace spoke.
"Right away, Master, here are outfits from the timelines of every civilization; what would you prefer?"
As Grace spoke, an outfit appeared before Patrick; an all-black three-piece suit from the current era. But with a disapproving look, Patrick swiped left on the suit, the suit getting exchanged for a black tank top and shorts from the late 90s; again, Patrick swiped left. This process of swiping left on outfits continued for another minute; seeing as he couldn't find any preferred attire even after swiping on billions of outfits, Patrick sighed.
"Sigh~ Grace, the outfits are indeed well-tailored, but none are to my taste. Instead of choosing from existing outfits, how about we make one?"
"A reasonable and wise choice, Master."
Grace replied; she then sounded.
[Power: Creation; Create anything at will without limits]
With Grace's words, Patrick went to work and began creating his attire from nothing. A white-colored holographic keyboard hovered before him as he typed and described the appearance and capabilities of the outfit. As Patrick typed, a black sweater with a hoodie materialized before him; then, long black trousers with two back and four side pockets also materialized next to the sweater. Floating below the outfit set was a black boot that would stop at one's shins. The sweater, trousers, and boots hovered before Patrick as they radiated with infinite goldy essence. Grace sounded while also displaying the items.
"A majestic and wonderful creation, Master."
[Items: Infinity Set; A set of outfits created by Patrick Alexander King. Made from the fabrics of the 'Everything Layers]
[Hood Sweater + Long Trouser (Sentient); Installed with indestructibility, infinite energy, defense, and durability, has an infinite pocket space, can transform into any desired outfits of the Master, and can self-upgrade eternally]
[Boots; Installed with an infinite speed boost, indestructibility, infinite energy, defense, and durability. Can transform into any desired footwear of the Master and can self-upgrade eternally]
Seeing the description of his creations, Patrick smiled amusingly. Then with a thought, Patrick watched as the set of outfits scattered into nano-particles and firmly attached to his body. Now staring at his reflection in the mirror, Patrick nodded approvingly; he held a satisfied expression as he returned and sat on his pitch-black throne, arms relaxed as usual.
"Now that I look presentable, time I test my powers."
Patrick spoke simultaneously; he was hovering outside the majestic building, sitting on his throne as he overlooked the expansive landmass of his Infinite Realm; with a glance, he could tell the size and expansiveness of the realm with ease. It was like the realm was part of him, or more like it existed within his cells. Unhurriedly raising his right hand, Patrick calmly uttered.
"Infinite Realm, expand to the size of a Universe."
An unbearable and chaotic trembling sound reverberated throughout the scene as the Infinite Realm intensely vibrated, instantly after the vibration ceased, returning the scene to a calmer state. The Infinite Realm had executed its given order, as it was now the size of a Universe, encompassing unlimited amounts of galaxies and stars. From Patrick giving the order to the realm expanding to a Universe, all these events happened instantaneously.
Patrick hovered deep within the chaotic space void of the Infinite Realm as he observed the magnificent twinkles of light dots; these glints of dots seemed infinite as they clustered in the Infinite Realm.
"Impressive, an Infinite Realm with infinite amounts of galaxies and stars. As a scientist, I would have found it ludicrous if someone mentioned a Universe with infinite of anything, but here I am making this impossibility my experiment. Truly comical."
Patrick chuckled with an impressed smile. He steadily tapped his index finger on his throne's armrest and ordered.
"Now, shrink to the size of a pearl."
Again, the Infinite Realm instantly shrunk to its ordered size as it floated on Patrick's right palm. Patrick heaved an unhurried exhale of acceptance, confirming his absolute control over the Infinite Realm. He had now accepted and embraced his powers as a god, meaning his thoughts and actions weren't like the previous him, a mundane human with just intelligence, but that of a god now.
With a thought, the Infinite Realm vanished from Patrick's palm, disappearing into his body as if returning to its origin. With the Realm gone, Patrick now hovered in the real world, but he didn't return to the alleyway but rather was sitting on his throne, floating over Metro City. Looking down at the countless lights that illuminated the night sky, Patrick inhaled with closed eyes as if wanting to feel the city's warmth. Slowly exhaling, he opened his eyes and uttered.
"Grace, let's up the testing standards a bit. Time/Space manipulation."
Patrick spoke to Grace as he followed with a dominating chant. Following her Master's intent, Grace sounded.
[Power: Time/Space Manipulation; Complete control over Time and Space. Can manipulate both the Universal Laws and abstract concepts of Time and Space]
Then, Patrick raised his right index finger over the city of Metro as he steadily began rotating it counter-clockwise.
Suddenly, a shocking scene began; the massive and tall buildings and infrastructures of Metro City all began rewinding like a movie. The buildings went from completed, to half completed, then not existing at all, as they were brought back to when they weren't built. This same shocking scene continued for the rest of the city, as one could even see the drastic change in civilization, going from its most advanced to the dinosaur era.
Despite seeing the overwhelming effects of his power, Patrick remained calm and unreactive. He halted the time reversal as he began rotating his finger clockwise. Similarly but contrarily, Metro City began fast-forwarding in time; after numerous decades, the city became extremely advanced, even having flying interstellar vehicles and many more; but the 'Gates' also became more powerful as they birthed more powerful and ferocious monsters, and beasts.
With a satisfied expression, Patrick rewound time and returned the scene as it previously was. Still maintaining his unbothered and carefree expression, Patrick rose from his throne and stood mid-air, hands behind him. He stared into the distance space as he murmured.
"So this is my power, a power even surpassing gods, and yet I haven't even scratched the surface. Just how powerful is the future me?"
