THE GOD EATER

His voice was full of confidence as he said, ”For sure, everything in existence has something in common. I just need to go deep enough.”

”If I go deep down to the foundation that makes everything up, I should find something that everything has in common. So what is it that everything is made up of?”

As soon as he asked that question, he got the answer.

Actually, he had a lot of answers in his mind about what reality is made of. But only one answer felt right for the occasion.

He knew this answer was right for what he wanted to accomplish because it was the limit of his perception. The other answers were concepts that he knew but couldn’t perceive. Since he couldn’t perceive them, he wouldn’t be able to use them.

After identifying this commonality, he began to extract it from the five Divine Metacs.

The commonality he identified was the concept of an atom. Every form of matter is made up of atoms, so the proportion of this commonality he was able to extract reached a whooping 33.3%.

Clearly, there was more to be extracted from the five ingredients. This didn’t come as a surprise to him since he knew that atoms come in different shapes and sizes, so the five ingredients couldn’t have atoms of the same kind.

He even knew what some of the parts of the other 66.6% was. He knew of photons, subatomic particles, and various forces of nature. Unfortunately, he couldn’t extract them.

He couldn’t extract them because he couldn’t grasp them. Apparently, he wasn’t powerful enough to delve beyond the layer of atoms to grasp and extract sub-atomic particles.

However, this much is good enough for what he wants to achieve. So there was no need to worry about the part he lost.

The minimum amount of commonality that he needed to create a Supreme Metac was 7 units. This means he needs to extract 1.4 units of commonality from the five ingredients.

If each of the ingredients could provide a maximum of 8 units of commonality, he would need to extract 28% from each of them to meet the minimum.

This was because he was using five ingredients. If he had 8 ingredients to work with, he would only need to extract 0.875 units of commonality or 10.94% from them.

Since he was able to get 33.3% from the five of them, he had a total of 13.32 units of commonality to work with. Thanks to this, he would have more room for error in the last step.

The extraction of commonality is supposed to be the easiest step. It ranks 5th out of the five steps. The fourth step, which is the part where he arranges the commonality into three-dimensional order, is more difficult.

This step is even more difficult than coming up with the idea for a new pathway. After all, talk is easy. Actually doing what was said is the difficult part.

As divine beings, they are used to two-dimensional means of power all of their lives. This makes it quite a stretch for them to come up with a framework for a three-dimensional means of power.

While he was thinking about how to solve this problem, he said, ”This is why this step is more difficult than finding a commonality and extracting it. A commonality is a one-dimensional object, yet I have to use it to create a three-dimensional object.”

”However, talented divine beings can solve this problem with their Quasi-Supreme Mastery of the Pathway. So this part should be very easy for him.”

If one were to ask a two-dimensional drawing on a piece of paper to describe a three-dimensional apple, that drawing would fail spectacularly. This is because they can’t envision it and have never been able to perceive a three-dimensional object.

Divine beings don’t have this problem, as they are three-dimensional objects themselves and can perceive other three-dimensional objects. Plus, they have had access to a Supreme Metac, so it should be able to copy and emulate the structure of that Supreme Metac.

But he is on another layer beyond that because he is already a Supreme Metac. So he doesn’t need to rack his brain trying to come up with a three-dimensional framework. He can just look inwards and replicate what he already has.

Because of this advantage, this step will be very easy for him. It won’t be as easy as the first step since he still needs to do something to complete this step. But since he is copying the answer, the difficulty might as well be nonexistent.

The answer he copied was a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. It was a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system with three axes of x, y, and z.

The three axes represented the length, breadth, and depth of the three-dimensional framework. The 7 units of commonality were used to mark the structure of the Supreme Metac in three-dimensional space.

While he was doing this, he used the image of what Fenrir was to become as directions to build the three-dimensional structure. So he was manifesting the goal he wanted Fenrir to achieve with the commonality.

The current Fenrir was used as coordinate 0,0,0. The units of commonality were distributed across the three axes as 3,3,1.

He put only one point on the x-axis because one point was the limit. As for why this is the case, he doesn’t know. He can only attribute this to the Supreme Metac having potential, but he was incapable of realizing that potential currently.

Another peculiarity he noticed was that the limit of the x and y axes was 9 points. He didn’t know why this was the case either.

”I can only guess that this is why Supreme Metacs are rank 9 Metacs. Anyway, I have to make full use of this limit.”

As he said this, he placed the remaining 6.32 units of commonality into the three-dimensional framework. This raised the maximum size of the final product to 6,6,1.
