Danmachi: The Magic Grandmaster

Alfia thought for a moment and said, "For example... the land we live on is a world and each star in the sky represents a world?"

"Did you hear that from Hera?"

"Mhm." Alfia nodded.

Gods could survive in outer space, so it was only natural that they had left the planet before.

However, from what he knew, gods who're born within the planet could not travel far.

Even for them, the universe held dangers.

If they died too far away, they might not even be able to resurrect.

The universe was too vast and appeared far too desolate. No matter how bored they were, no god would leave their homeland to run into a universe fraught with danger.

Danmachi gods were born of same rules and divinity.

Therefore, they didn't have relationships like parents and children or brothers and sisters nor were there any so called demigods, because gods couldn't give birth.

They were products of the planet, able to view all information through the planet's records, hence they called themselves omniscient.

They wielded an omnipotent power originating from the miracles of the planet aka divine power. It could be said that they had reached the apex since birth.

But exactly because they had reached the state of perfection right from the start, they were limited, both in thought and in strength.

Therefore, they lacked the means to look toward the future. Their time had long since stopped during the passage of hundreds of millions of years.

"The world is a giant sphere. If you look at the entire world from a map, that's a macroscopic perspective."

Sion said, "Beyond that, there is the microscopic perspective."

"Just like a map, you can imprint the entire continent into your eyes. But standing here, you can only see as far as your line of sight."

"This is microscopic."

"I can barely understand that," Alfia rubbed her head.

"From a microscopic perspective, whether it is the earth, the ocean or life itself, even humans and monsters have no fundamental difference. They're all composed of countless particles."

Sion spoke words that shattered her worldview.

"The nature of magic is special. Its root lies on Mind and it cannot be measured, but physical matter can."

Sion picked up a cup and gently crushed it.

"Just like this cup, it's composed of countless particles similar to the particles I just created, only they are physical particles."

"Through a ritual or a Falna, the qualitatively changed Mind acquires the ability to affect the physical world. If it can affect it, naturally it can be measured. If it can be measured then it can lead us its root."

"As long as you understand the root of Mind, magic will become a toy. You can casually mold it into any shape you desire."

Struggling to receive information she had never encountered before, Alfia barely managed to understand a good portion of it.

"If what you say is true, if someone could freely control physical particles, wouldn't they be able to become creator?" Alfia joked.

"Mhm."

Sion nodded and said, "If someone could achieve that, they would indeed meet the basic criteria of a creator. With a powerful enough influence and the correct methods, they could ascend to godhood."

The forced smile on Alfia's face disappeared. She was somewhat at a loss for how to face this matter.

Even though she was called an incarnation of talent, Alfia had never thought about standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods.

And looking at Sion's expression, he genuinely thought so!

"Back to the main topic."

Sion controlled the particles in his hand, causing their movement to stagnate, and then formed them into a solid sphere.

"The particles within the sphere will continuously move. When attacked, the overall phase of the AT will shift to block the attack. This is the principle of the AT Field.

She couldn't learn it. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't.

No, more importantly, she couldn't understand the concepts related to particles at all.

All things being composed of particles or whatever... this was an unprecedented unknown.

Let alone using Mind to form particles, that was the power that touched divine. Even Alfia lacked the confidence to learn it.

After trying for a moment, Alfia still couldn't manage her Mind into particles, let alone transform them into soul particles.

She shook her head and said, "It seems I won't be able to learn this spell."

Only now she understood what made Sion that confident to handle the world's number one familia.

Sion might be the most dazzling person had she ever seen.

At this moment, Alfia truly recognized this fact.

"If you can't understand it, how about experiencing it firsthand?" Sion reached out his hand and said.

"Through transmission, is it?"

Alfia understood Sion's words.

Sion's mind control was truly breathtaking. It was as if he was born to play with it.

She thought of the feeling she got the first time Sion adjusted her body with imprint spell, and she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before taking Sion's hand.

An inexplicable shyness and joy swept through Alfia, and her thoughts became chaotic.

A casual movement from Sion made it impossible for her heart to find peace. When did she become so weak?

Perhaps... it was because she owed too many favors that she simply couldn't repay?

As for falling in love with Sion like Meteria said... would an anomaly like her truly have a day where she fell for someone?

Probably... deep down, Alfia didn't even know what she was thinking anymore.

Only at this moment did she truly envy Meteria.

"It won't be as uncomfortable as the last time, will it?" Alfia spoke, seemingly trying to change the subject.
