In the core space, the Origin Core watched as Leon tore through the final universal limitation.
This limitation had never been about power. Power could always be accumulated, refined, expanded.
This was a limitation of existence itself. A silent rule woven into reality the moment creation began.
A subconscious boundary placed by the Brightest Star, the strongest of the Primordials, born from an unspoken truth: a creation could never surpass its creator.
But who had ever decided that truth was absolute?
Leon had done what no Primordial ever could. While they were born upon unreachable pedestals, wrapped in perfection from their first breath, Leon had clawed his way upward from nothing.
He had learned how to wield strength because he had once lacked it. He had learned restraint because he had once been weak.
Starting from the bottom had taught him something no divine inheritance ever could.
How to climb.
Leon felt it then.
