Neil laid in the carriage asleep, his carefree attitude in this environment would be considered reckless and in fact dangerous but an ordinary man wouldn't be able understand that he was amidst training his Laws. A [Cinth's] energy is known as Nux; it's the core aspect that makes up a Cinth. What is a Cinth though?
A Cinth in a sense is someone who has grasped the ability to tap into the laws of the universe and then draw the power from these laws. The Laws can be used in a multitude of ways such as to enhance their physique, mind, soul, or even use these laws to perform supernatural feats.
Compatibility with the Laws is also required because this will not only make the power the user exert more powerful but, on their conquest, to attain greater power. It will be far easier because they will be able to sense or feel similar Laws they are compatible with therefore these Laws will accumulate to synthesize greater and more powerful Laws thus only increasing their power further to achieve greater realms.
To awaken as a Cinth one must first awaken the [Sense] which is the ability to sense the Laws around them and therefore integrate them into their [Ethereal Aspect]. The Ethereal Aspect is located in the subconscious and It's a special space where a Cinth stores law fragments after successfully integrating them from the world and then absorbing them to enable synthetization. Through synthetization the Cinth is able to accumulate similar laws and fuse them together to achieve higher complexity and proportionally greater power.
Then after a Cinth will need to expand the Ethereal Aspect by tempering their physiques to get stronger it will give more room for the expansion to occur. Expanding the Ethereal Aspect will allow to be able to harbor more complex laws.
Currently, Neil's eyes closed symbolized his interaction of the Ethereal Aspect deep within his subconscious. It was a dark space and many law fragments floated in the null, their appearance mimicked that of shattered glass with diameters ranging from 5-7cm. Some of the law fragments looked like transparent ethers and hues of blackness which signified his Laws of Space-time and Death respectively.
As he looked around his Aspect there was one Law fragment that caught Neil's attention the most. It that stood in the center of the space, it was precisely concentric and peering into it left the young Neil baffled. It seemed like eternal nothingness, no reaction from it remedied he's attitude towards it. He long knew about it but every time he saw it, it mystified him.
"Just what is it? I can't seem to interact with it. This law fragment seems like it exists in its own independent space yet it also exists in this space? Is it even mine?"
Neil began an analysis on this mystifying fragment because for as long as he knew he had it with him. It's likely he had it since birth but he understood mulling over it won't amount to anything so he let go.
"I guess worrying about it now won't change anything. There are still more pressing issues to deal with. After all I need to obtain that..."
Neil said to himself and as he contemplated the situation but was brought awake by the heavy atmosphere of gore, death and destruction as he got closer to the city. He knocked on the tact of the carriage and it came to a halt.
"Oh, maybe there are some fragments here even if they are low-tier", he said to himself.
His azure eyes glowed and his vision expanded as he began scanning for law fragments using his Nux. His Sense spread out …
"Not even low-tier fragments. Just trash.", he sighed and then knocked on the tact again as the carriage began moving again. In a few moments he finally saw the gates of [Shea City] from a distance. He diverted his gaze to find the pigeon resting on his lap snoring in satisfaction. Neil flicked his index finger generating a wind pressure which blew the Pigeon off his lap. He looked at the creature which shot wide awake, its googly eyes gazed at Neil in anger and made terrible screeching noises but Neil looked at it calmly.
"We've arrived."
The pigeon seemed to have understood him displaying a rare moment of intellect leading it to calm down and look outside the carriage window to see the high walls of [Shea City]. Neil looked out as well to see the gates and sighed in amazement.
The gates were at least 50m tall and were seemingly made of a type of alloy concrete. With his keen vision Neil was able to see runic inscriptions laid across the gates from bottom to top.
"Elemental Resistance, Physical Damage reduction, Nux depowerment and absorption, Law scrambling, Mind invasion, hmm, is that Curse Infliction?", Neil identified a few of the runes enchanted on the walls and he smiled a little. Not many would be able to see them because they would be invisible to the naked eye and only those who had awakened Sense would only be able to vaguely feel their presence. Only some who has worked with Runes at a very high level would be able to clearly see them but even then, you would not be able to see everything. Not even Neil could see everything…
"The Sovereigness of Zur, it seems I was right. She has reached that level. It seems Shea has quite the financial power to enable the Sovereigness to move. This Auction may be bigger than it seems.", Neil stated as he proceeded to the gates.
