Chapter 4: Tormenting the White-Cloaked Man
Elias and the white-cloaked man found themselves floating in the void with stars shimmering in the backdrop, creating a surreal scene of two humans whose sizes appeared insignificant compared to their cosmic surroundings.
Even the white-cloaked man no longer struggled; his eyes bulged in shock as he observed his surroundings with a mixture of awe and trepidation. He had never witnessed such a scene before in his life. Even though he possessed power equivalent to a 5th Stratum Enlightened Thaumaturgist, the scene unfolding before him still left him shaken.
Meanwhile, Elias paid him no attention, lost in contemplation. Soon, he decided what to create. Drawing from memory, Elias recreated one of the hottest stellar bodies he had encountered as a Unified Field Stage powerhouse.
The Purple Sun from a universe at the center of the Quantum Multiverse.
More precisely, Elias recreated only a miniature version of the core of that burning star, a sphere with a diameter of about ten meters. He couldn’t afford to recreate the entire star with his current control capacity, unless he wished to risk burning his manifested body in the process.
Elias’s strength in the Mental Landscape was still limited; the potency of his creations reflected his current mental strength. The only reason he could torment the white-cloaked man was due to his superior mental fortitude, forged through thousands of years of experience, not counting time dilations and accelerations, before his death.
Still wearing his smile, Elias gazed at the white-cloaked man who now floated bound in the starry void, his face contorted with fear. Elias’s intent was evident. Even the white-cloaked man, witnessing the ball of purple flame and sensing its intensity from a distance, could instinctively guess what was coming.
As expected, Elias casually tossed the purple flames in his direction, letting them roast the white-cloaked man like barbecue meat on a grill.
"AHHH—!"
