Chapter 506 First Pillar – Dogma of One Reality
From the line of the Binary Saints, the first steps forward. On her face, there is only one number: 1—clearly displayed, never changing. This figure represents wholeness, absolute unity, one form, one meaning, one will.
In silence, a mysterious aura envelops her, radiating calmness yet vigilance. The background seems to vibrate, flowing with an energy that hums in the air. Without speaking, she raises her hand.
From the tip of her finger flows a network of runes, forming a perfect cube-shaped field that locks the entire area around Fitran and Beelzebub. The color of the field is neither red nor blue, but colorless—as if it erases the entire spectrum to reveal only one truth. Waves of invisible energy vibrate, creating a resonance that seems to be felt by every soul around.
"You will be tested."
The voice is crystal clear, slicing through the silence with profound arrogance. Her words resonate within the soul, igniting fear and hope at once, challenging Fitran's courage. "This is the First Pillar."
"Dogma: Any love that does not produce a unified form... is flawed."
"And flaws must be healed... or discarded."
Fitran stands within the field, feeling the tension penetrating his bones. In the silence, the sound of his heartbeat is loud, as if challenging the stillness that envelops him.
Beelzebub tries to enter but is repelled by the boundary field. She is thrown against the metal wall, blood red-black flowing from her mouth. Though her body is resistant to the highest magic, the field of absolute belief cannot be opposed by strength. It is as if the boundary is a consciousness avoiding chaos.
"I can't join!" she cries, her voice echoing against the empty walls, carrying a sense of loneliness and longing for togetherness.
Fitran nods. "This is not a fight between two people. This is a fight against form." Fitran's voice trembles, full of determination and conviction, making his words penetrate the layers of reality.
