Chapter 1441 Enlightenment [2]

Damien didn't see it coming.

He hadn't done anything particularly noteworthy to prompt enlightenment, so he was wondering just as much as anybody else why it came now.

But regardless of the "why," it was here.

When Damien sat down at the creek, his eyes instinctively closed, and his mind was subtly pulled away from reality.

Something about the moment was perfect.

In the midst of so much chaos, finding peace was a special thing. Damien didn't feel it because he never acknowledged temporary peace as real peace, however, he couldn't deny the feelings in his heart.

That peace was what led to the current situation.

Damien felt the power of "order."

Order, the opposite of chaos, was one of the concepts that governed the world.

Order and chaos didn't have their own laws. They were more like compilations of several laws that embodied a concept, so there wasn't an individual who could wield their power directly.

However, they were always subtly influencing the world.

Order was important. So was chaos.

If chaos represented for freedom and choice, order was the opposite.

That didn't mean it was a bad thing.

Order and chaos were always necessary together. Complete chaos would turn into madness, while absolute order would become a soulless society.

In a way, the Divine Order and the Straea Clan could be used as examples of them when they reached their worst.

But just as they could become terrible without regulation, when they were in their perfect forms, they allowed life to adapt and progress properly.

Void Palace was a picture of order right now. Everything went as it should, and chaos didn't have much of a place outside the things it was necessary for.

Being in this environment after being surrounded by chaos for such a long time, Damien suddenly became enlightened.

The concept of order.

He didn't know what it was before now, but information about it was steadily flowing into his head.

And it wasn't something simple.

No, the concept of order was one of the six concepts of Existence that Damien was supposed to master.

He just didn't expect to find it within himself before finding it in the wild.

Damien sat at the waterfall for three days, slowly contemplating on many things.

He didn't think about the concept of order after the first day, but the things he saw when he was being enlightened gave him a new look at several things, and he needed time to digest it all.

When he was finished, he stood up and stretched.

He wasn't quite sure what had just happened.

But he was going to have an opportunity to find out soon, so he didn't worry himself over it.

Rather, he was quite excited.

'With this, I should be able to get that over with too.'

He smiled to himself and disappeared.

For the next few hours, he stayed in the Sanctuary, where he used a time dilation to extend his time for a few days.

He was working on a specific project that would be extremely helpful when the critical time came.

The concept of order allowed him to perfectly disperse chaos from chaotic forces. Even the most disordered energy could become calm under his grasp.

One of the many privileges granted to him by this ability was to handle souls with a touch that nobody could replicate.

And with that power, Rein Winchester could be granted a second life.

Damien's excitement didn't come from the fact that the Sword would be revived, but from the revival itself.

He'd never dabbled in matters like this. It was a new experience for him.

If he happened to be successful...

'Well, I won't become a mad scientist at least.'

Damien didn't think he'd get the chance to do this so soon, but since he was granted a blessing from the heavens, he was planning to use it well.

Spending a few more hours to himself before leaving wasn't going to harm anyone.

Plus, the skills he'd gain from this procedure were well worth the wait.

When Damien appeared at the end of those hours he granted himself, he had a wide smile on his face.

His eyes glowed, filled with anticipation.

'With this, I'm ready.'

There was a Dimensional Crack waiting for him.

And he couldn't wait to greet it.
