Lex stood above the origin ocean, the vast expanse now was somehow not that vast as he used its energy to create the primordials as he decided to call them, strangely they too subconsciously called themselves, primordials as though the name was etched into their very essence.
Lex found himself in a tight situation,he could feel that the origin energy was dwindling.but fortunately the origin energy could replenish itself.but the time it took was too long for Lex ,although time was now meaningless.he couldn't just sit and wait aimlessly since it felt agonizingly long."I have to do something about this,"he muttered to himself.
He first tried to analyzed the Origin energy but even he as the universal will was not able to understand its intricacies ,it felt like a kindergarten child trying to understand calculus and university level mathematics,but after tens of thousands of years he only got faintest glimpse of it.but that was enough for what he was about to do.
Lex sat crossed leg in a lotus position above the Origin Ocean as he drew drops of Origin Energy from the surface of the ocean,the drops pulsed with power as they were suspended infront of him ."what I need now are technical ways to harness this power and have a deeper mastery over it"he muttered to himself.Though Lex was now too powerful but this power had came to him abruptly almost unearned,although he could use it but it was hard for him to achieve results he desired.
He suspended one drop of the Origin Energy above his palm and he dispersed it into infinitesimal fragments.And from each of this fragments he could see creation and destruction of galaxies,planets and celestial systems.
The Origin Energy was one of the highest energy sources that existed in the universe,and it was so powerful that it could only be found in the Origin Ocean.
Lex sank into the depths of the origin ocean to better understand its mysteries and maybe see if he can find its source.
After descending for what felt like centuries he arrived at the bottom of the ocean, and here the shimmering and beautiful starry night like surface of the ocean was nowhere to be seen and only darkness was ever present.
After quite sometime he saw a light at the distance. The Light felt like a beacon breaking the oppressive darkness.
As Lex got closer to the light, it wasn't just a glow anymore. It started to take shape, revealing something far more complex and beautiful. It was like looking at the core blueprint of how the universe worked,a map of everything that existed, broken down into its smallest pieces.
The laws weren't written or spoken; they were alive, constantly moving. Imagine seeing threads of light stretching out in every direction, weaving together like a giant net. Each thread connected something important: time, space, energy, matter. Together, they kept the universe running.
Time wasn't just ticking like a clock ,it was flowing in waves and spirals, speeding up and slowing down. Space didn't just stretch,it folded and bent, like paper being crumpled or unfolded. Energy wasn't just glowing,it was shifting and changing, building stars ,breaking apart worlds, and creating life in tiny bursts.
If a regular person looked at this, their mind would explode with understanding. They would suddenly see how everything fit together,why stars shine, why things fall, why life exists. That kind of knowledge would transform them into something no longer human, something almost godlike.
What made this possible was the crystal ball,it emitted brightness and illuminated the darkness of the surrounding .lex moved towards the crystal ball slowly and in cautious manner although he could feel the affinity that it had for the "will"but he was not the will in essence but Lex a human.
The Will, by its very nature, was not meant to possess emotions. It was a machine of pure instinct, existing to maintain balance, incapable of interfering with the creatures of the universe. Each being was meant to exist independently, their births shaped by the laws of evolution. Those who could not adapt would perish, while those who could would survive. What happened to Lex was unprecedented.
Lex raised his hand slowly and touched the crystal ball,the moment his finger touched the crystal ball it shrunk and got into his head ,fusing with his mind and consciousness.lex was now surrounded by darkness but he still could see in the darkness.he sat in lotus position and focused on his mind.he saw the crystal ball suspended in his mind and it was was releasing fragments of fundamental laws around itself just as it had before.
The crystal ball vibrated as it produced a blinding light.Lex found knowledge about the crystal ball in his mind . The crystal ball was a treasure outside the universe and as it was drifting in void it found itself merging with a new born universe.
The reason why Lex could become the will of the universe was because of its influence. In most universes, the accumulation of origin energy takes an agonizingly long time. The process involves countless cycles of cosmic destruction and rebirth, with stars collapsing, realms shattering, and fragments of reality merging to condense this energy in trace amounts. Origin energy isn't just rare; it's elusive, a culmination of the universe's deepest mysteries and limitless potential.
Lex's possession of such a concentrated amount defied natural order,but now he knew the reason behind it "the crystal ball".
The crystal ball also possessed two extraordinaryabilities the first one was :Cost Reduction and the second;Infinite Understanding.
Cost Reduction enabled its wielder to minimize the resources or effort required to create or accomplish anything, though its effectiveness was bound by the user's strength. A weaker individual could only make small adjustments, while someone more powerful could defy even the harshest limits of reality.
Infinite Understanding amplified the user's capacity for comprehension and calculation to unparalleled heights. It allowed them to unravel the mysteries of existence, from the simplest mechanisms to the most intricate universal laws. Yet, this ability, too, was tethered to the user's strength, growing as their own power evolved.
Lex held the crystal ball in his hand, its power thrummed through him, resonating with the core of his being. To any other being, the abilities it granted might seem like a blessing. But to Lex, they were tools a means to an end.
"Cost Reduction…" he murmured , his gaze fixed on the shimmering object. The concept was simple, almost rudimentary in its definition, yet its implications were profound. With this ability, he could accelerate his creation, bypassing the agonizingly slow cycles of destruction and rebirth that shaped Origin Energy.its reliance on the wielders strength felt like mockery to him.
His fingers tightened slightly around the orb. "Infinite Understanding," he whispered. This ability stirred something deeper within him. It offered the potential to master all the laws of the universe and even go further.The mysteries he had failed to grasp when he was analyzing the Origin Energy now was easily understood by him although not that much but it lowered the difficulty of analyzing.
Lex's expression remained neutral as he diverted all his attention to analyzing the Origin Energy.
