The enlightenment experienced by Irene, Michael, and.....Anthony did not manifest in any grand spectacle.
Instead, it cast those affected into a deep trance, leaving them motionless for days, weeks, months, or even years, its duration dictated by a multitude of factors.
This form of enlightenment was bestowed by the heavens indiscriminately, transcending race, morality, or intent.
The heavens remained indifferent to notions of good and evil, for under their vast dominion, all existence was equal.
It stemmed from resolve, will, conviction, and unwavering drive.
Talent held no weight in the pursuit of enlightenment.
This was the natural enlightenment that countless beings had experienced across eons and eras, a universal phenomenon woven into the fabric of existence.
Even Aaaninja had undergone this very process, and through it, he forged the Chrono Rebirth skill.
