"Alright Aerin first we will have to test your physical capabilities, here try and lift this," Azothoth said, creating a giant block of osmium.
Huh? That doesn't seem too heavy, it's a block that is 7.62 x 7.62 meters in size. I've shattered trees bigger than this.
But as soon as Aerin tried to lift it, he only got it one inch off the ground…
What the hell is this thing!
"It is a block of osmium. Right now you're attempting to lift 9,994,962 kg," Azothoth replied.
How am I supposed to lift that?
"Oh, you weren't supposed to lift it. That is why you are going to be training to be able to lift it. Once you can lift that block we will move on to actual training," Azothoth explained.
What am I supposed to train with?
"Here, train with these," Azothoth said, creating dumbbells ranging from 110 to 10,000 kg.
Well this might take a while, so I should probably get started.
Then Aerin picked up the 110 kg dumbbells and got to work…
Squats, lunges, sit ups, he did nearly every exercise that he could do with each of the dumbbell sets, until…
"Alright Aerin, 30 years would have passed in the mortal realm by now, are you ready yet?" Azothoth asked.
Yes, I'm ready.
"Good then try and lift the block again," Azothoth replied.
Aerin then walked over to the block of osmium and lifted it above his head…
"Well done," Azothoth said.
"Now it is time for me to train you on your ability Convergence. Do you happen to know how to make electricity?" Azothoth asked.
No, but I know you can create all sorts of elements using Aru.
"Well this try and visualize yourself making lightning in your hand and we will go from there," Azothoth explained.
Alright.
Then Aerin closed his eyes and imagined lightning manifesting in his hand…
Aerin then kept trying to make a ball of electricity in his hand until, eventually, Aerin started to have a ball of lightning manifest in his hand…
"Well done, now try and combine that ball of electricity with the plasma that makes up your eternal flame. When you successfully combine the two you can control the plasma with the electricity ball you made," Azothoth explained.
Okay, I'll try to combine the two.
Aerin kept trying and trying to combine the two abilities and it seemed like he would fail, until Aerin took a deep breath and remembered his friends and then he combined the two abilities…
Alright now to try and control the plasma.
Aerin then started to imagine the plasma becoming a string and it became a string, he imagined it becoming a tornado and it expanded and became a tornado, he then imagined it becoming four separate spears and they separated into four spears…
"Well done. Now to test the damage this new ability can cause," Azothoth said.
Then Azothoth began to create a block of osmium, then a block of steel, then a block of iron, and lastly a block of copper. All of which were 7.62 x 7.62 meters in size…
"Alright now make a ball of electricity and combine it with that plasma and shoot one at each of these blocks," Azothoth said.
Alright.
Then Aerin created the ball of electricity in his hand and combined it with a ball of plasma and split it into four projectiles and shot them at the blocks…
Each block then exploded from the overwhelming temperature…
What how did that happen?
"Well Aerin, that happened because the heat exerted onto each block exceeded the temperature they could endure. Do you want to know how hot that little projectile of plasma and electricity you made got?" Azothoth asked.
Yes.
"It exceeded 20 billion°C," Azothoth replied.
What!
Nope, not possible.
"It's true. Your little ball of plasma exceeded temperatures of stars," Azothoth told Aerin.
Huh? What's a star.
"That's right I forgot your world doesn't have a star. Well sit down I'll explain it to you?" Azothoth said, mildly annoyed.
After the explanation…
Thanks for the explanation.
"You're welcome but now it is time for me to pass you off to your next teacher, Gilgamesh," Azothoth replied.
What does this new teacher have in store for our mc? Find out next time…
