A giant black hole the size of an asteroid was towering over Azmond's hands.
Like an elephant standing over an ant, it was seen hovering over Azmond.
A crazed smile overtook Azmond's facial features as he felt a sudden urge to destroy this black space and everything within it.
"I wonder if this thing is capable of evaporating this black space. I couldn't damage a single atom of this place with my full power strikes before, but this new ultimate attack of mine is on a completely different level." Expectation filled Azmond's heart, and just as he was about to unleash hell upon this black dimension.
Azmond had a sudden thought that he felt he should try out first.
"I have seen those anime characters conjure up huge attacks like this, but before they unleashed their attacks, they always condensed their attacks to make them more powerful."
"I should give that a try as well, right?" Azmond questioned himself with a small smile when he already knew the answer to his question as soon as he asked it.
"Of course I should! I see no reason why I shouldn't try something as cool as that." The inner child of Azmond took over his rationality before he began to condense the giant, 9999-meter-wide black hole that was looming over his head.
The black hole had ripples go through it when Azmond actively tried to reduce its size, and it worked!
Azmond was successfully able to start condensing the giant black as its massive 9999-meter size was reduced to 9995-meters.
"The condensing process is going slow, but it's working, and that is all that matters in the end, right?? Of course it is!" Azmond began speaking to himself like someone who had gone insane long ago...
"I just need to keep working at it, and I should be able to condense it to the size of a fist as long as I keep compressing it with my Qi." A slight look of anticipation formed on Azmond's face before he continued working on reducing the size of his apocalyptic spell.
....
30 minutes later...
A man who looked like a fallen immortal was holding a small black hole the size of a pigeon's egg.
He was just staring at the miniature nuke with a look of stupefaction.
He was utterly mesmerized by the thing that was gently floating above his hands.
"I did some good work with this one! I love the way it absorbs all the light and energy I try to transmit into it. It's even capable of completely swallowing up my divine sense.'
'It makes one think of the more chaotic elements of this world, and that in and of itself is such an amazing thing." Azmond was helplessly transfixed on the condensed black hole he was holding as his eyes never left the swirling mass of black energy.
"As much as I want to keep staring at this creation of mine all day long, I really need to get out of this place, and this baby seems to be the only thing capable of helping me out of this predicament." Azmond's dazed expression turned to one of helplessness, as he had no choice in this matter unless he wanted to stay trapped in this black dimension forever.
"...."
"Let's just get this over with before I become even more depressed." Azmond wiped away some fake tears on his face as he lifted his arm in an upright position with the small condensed black hole in the palm of his hand.
Azmond took one step forward and threw the black hole as hard as he could.
Whoooosshh!
The tiny black hole quickly vanished from Azmond's sight followed by a loud whistling sound.
After which, he sat down with a downcast expression and stared off into the distance, where he predicted the black hole would end up landing.
Azmond sat there for 20 minutes before the black hole ultimately approached its destination.
"It will happen any second now." Azmond spoke with indifference evident in his voice.
"Oh, I forgot to do something very important before the black hole reaches the ground." Azmond's impassive expression turned to one of excitement, as he was quite ready to do what he was about to do.
"QUANTUM GATE" A deep and husky voice was heard from Azmond as the entire space began to tremble.
The entire dimension stopped working for a moment as a long and deep silence was felt by Azmond.
"....."
Azmond waited and waited...
Yet nothing happened after a whole 30 seconds of waiting.
"Did I break my black hole before I was even able to use it??" A puzzled expression emerged on Azmond's face as he began to scratch his chin while thinking to himself.
"May-"
BOOOOOooOOOoOoooMMM!!!!
Azmond was about to say something, but before he could get out the sentence, a loud explosion resounded across the pitch-black dimension as the entire place began to fall apart.
The ground floor beneath Azmond started to collapse in on itself as the flat ground disappeared.
Only fragmented pieces of the black space were left after the explosion was heard, but it didn't just stop there.
No, the entire place began to disintegrate.
Quite literally, disintegrate without a single piece of the black space left intact.
"Well, it looks like that did the trick just fine, huh?" Azmond's indifferent voice sounded as he crossed his arms around his chest and fell into the bottomless hole that was being created by the aftereffects of the explosion.
"So much for a new training ground."
"It turns out the entire place was all just for show when a truly powerful force came into contact with it." Azmond's voice echoed across the bottomless pit he was falling through as he fell even further into a vast nothingness.
Little did Azmond know that he had already completely mastered the Quantum Gate skill on his first try, and when the spell hit the ground, the black space automatically registered Azmond as having completed the 'trial' that Azmond had unknowingly set up because of his Quantum Realm talent.
The entire dimension collapsing was just a sort of affirmation of Azmond's glorious achievement.
It only took so long for the explosion to register because even the very dimension itself was surprised by the speed at which Azmond gained full comprehension of the Quantum Gate Skill.
....
10 minutes later...
"I wonder where this seemingly bottomless pit is going to take me...?" Azmond asked himself with a natural look on his face, as Azmond was traveling at speeds that would kill any being if there was any sort of hard surface at the end of this void.
However, despite the potentially perilous situation Azmond found himself in, his arms were still crossed around his chest, as if what was happening around him right now had nothing to do with him.
