Unlike Kayden, most people who came to this place already understood the reason for its existence. It was one of the access points to the law of space, floating in the center of the realm. However, this was a challenge that only those with talent or experience in spatial manipulation dared to overcome. That’s why it was extremely specific and rarely had the presence of mages from other classes. Each person in this place was a true spatial mage with high talent.
Kayden began to pass through the figures as if they were nothing. He only learned a bit from their techniques and then completely crushed them without any difficulty. This continued for dozens of figures; he even reached the figures in the ninth realm and crushed them as if they were absolutely nothing. If before the mages had any doubt about Kayden being a genius, now they were certain he wasn’t; this was not something a genius could achieve—he was, in fact, a true monster.
After going through the cycle of figures from the first to the ninth realm, Kayden started facing figures in the first realm again, but this time with greater strength. He quickly concluded that it was the attacks of the figures that were different; their techniques and strikes were also different.
Kayden meticulously studied the movements of the figures, absorbing every detail of the spatial techniques. One of them involved localized distortions, where the figures created small areas of compressed space that, when released, exploded in almost imperceptible shockwaves. Kayden realized it wasn’t just about crushing with brute force, but rather manipulating the surrounding pressure to turn space into an invisible weapon. He began to use this technique to fragment the defenses of the figures effortlessly, breaking their structures so discreetly that it seemed they simply disintegrated.
Another crucial technique he learned was the "Stealth Passage." The figures utilized a slight dimensional fracture that, although visually insignificant, created a path for instant and imperceptible teleportation. Kayden refined this skill, using micro-cracks in space to move between the attacks of the figures like a shadow, becoming intangible and unreachable. He didn’t just copy the techniques; he perfected them, adding nuances of control that the figures lacked, making him appear as a master of spatial laws.
The Stealth Passage was entirely different from the teleportation techniques Kayden had used previously, as back then, he had to literally open a portal the size of himself in front of him to cross over. But now, he opened a portal smaller than his finger, which followed him entirely and threw him to the other side instantly. Kayden had an immense sixth sense and could now appear anywhere in the area without difficulty and instantaneously. At that moment, his power grew absurdly. If he had once feared ninth-realm mages, now he was 100% confident in his ability to escape from any of them.
Space was becoming Kayden’s strongest weapon as the days passed. He was beginning to fight using space as if it were a second arm. His entire sixth sense was undergoing a significant change, but something was still missing. Kayden was fighting against the figures with nine attacks, and at that moment, the situation had become much more challenging. He was talented, but Kayden had never been a mage who fought using spatial magic, and that was the frightening part. In the beginning, everyone saw Kayden using brute strength to win his battles, but as time passed, his techniques became more and more refined.

The growth that Kayden was experiencing as a spatial fighter was the same as what someone would have after spending a lifetime training in spatial combat. The difference was that the boy was accomplishing this in just a few months, which was utterly frightening. It didn’t take long for them to recognize Kayden after all the points closed in.
"The creator of monsters is actually a monster." Kayden’s fame had reached every corner of the universe. As soon as an outside mage stepped in, he recognized Kayden. The mages around began to ask for information, but they didn’t believe a word of what the outsider said.
"He is the ’master of masters’; each of his disciples has reached at least eight levels, with most easily attaining nine levels. Moreover, the base level they arrived at never mattered."
Throughout his intense battles against the figures, Kayden absorbed complex techniques of spatial manipulation that elevated him to an incomparable level. One of these techniques allowed him to alter the very composition of the space around him, creating anomalies that distorted not only gravity but also the perception of time. By applying this ability, Kayden could trap his opponents in a web of distorted space, making their movements slow and uncoordinated while he moved with total agility. This manipulation was so precise that it defied the laws of physics, making him nearly invincible in combat.
Another technique Kayden mastered involved fragmenting portions of empty space, creating energy holes that absorbed attacks and redirected their force against the enemies. By utilizing this ability, Kayden could not only deflect powerful attacks but also concentrate the absorbed energy into devastating explosions, causing unimaginable damage.
The time spent here was incredibly beneficial; Kayden finally mastered the basics of time manipulation. At that moment, he elevated himself to a completely different level compared to everyone else here, a fact acknowledged even by the man at the center. The manipulation of time, even if basic and minimal, was the pinnacle that a mage could achieve when manipulating space.
It took more than a whole millennium on this platform for Kayden to be capable of something like that, but after trying like a madman, he managed to do what few, if any, had even come close to achieving in the last millions of years. Even though his learning about time was practically useless at the moment, as he could barely handle first-realm mages, it was still a basic manipulation of time.
Kayden opened the first door to becoming something beyond what he had ever been, the laws of space were a step, but that step was greater than trillions of miles, but it was only a matter of time, the boy’s strength had already grown to a completely different level than what he was, in the past I had no confidence in facing Atlas directly and winning, but at this moment? He had no fear at all.
