The Prince of Darkness' voice was solemn.
'Imagine a power that isn't bound by Art classifications, doesn't follow Sequence hierarchies, operates under principles unique to its wielder that cannot be replicated or countered through normal methods. That's what Ethereal Conception represents—a personal trump card that transcends conventional Ancient Majik frameworks.'
Rey processed this with cold calculation.
'So attempting to fight an Archangel using standard techniques would be futile. Even if I matched them in raw power and Art mastery, their Ethereal Conception would represent capability I couldn't predict or counter.'
'Correct,' the Prince confirmed. 'Each Ethereal Conception is also unique. This is why even the strongest Angels cannot truly challenge Archangels. The Ethereal Conception represents categorical advantage that makes direct confrontation suicidal regardless of other factors.'
Rey's determination crystallized with renewed intensity.
