SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Seat Of Authority [2.]

Steeling himself, Kael walked forward before slowly sitting upon the throne.

The moment he settled into the seat...

His eyebrows lifted.

"...Comfortable."

That was the first thing he noticed.

Despite appearing to be carved entirely from solid-looking materials, the throne somehow molded itself perfectly to his body.

It wasn’t soft.

Nor was it warm.

Yet it felt strangely... perfect.

Almost as though the throne itself understood exactly what kind of support its occupant required.

Kael had never sat on anything remotely this comfortable.

Still...

Other than that...

Nothing happened.

He looked around.

"...That’s it?"

Surely Varek hadn’t summoned him all the way here just to show him an absurdly comfortable chair.

As if reading his thoughts, Varek calmly said,

"Master."

"Circulate your mana."

"Do not use any breathing technique."

"Do not cultivate."

"Simply guide your mana and run one complete cycle."

To an ordinary Awakener, those instructions would’ve sounded meaningless.

Mana was merely another resource displayed on a status window.

Something consumed to activate skills.

Nothing more.

But Kael was different.

After inheriting fragments of Varek’s memories, he already possessed a basic understanding of cultivation.

Without questioning further, he closed his eyes.

His breathing slowed.

His thoughts quieted.

Then—

His mana began flowing through his body.

One complete circulation.

The instant it finished the world around him changed.

Kael’s pupils constricted.

It wasn’t that the throne room had transformed.

Rather...

Reality itself seemed to peel apart before his eyes.

Invisible layers unraveled one after another.

The world no longer appeared as walls, pillars, or stone.

Instead...

It became an unimaginably vast structure.

Countless invisible threads intertwined with one another.

Endless patterns overlapped.

Every movement.

Every phenomenon.

Every rule governing existence itself seemed to reveal tiny fragments of their underlying structure.

It felt eerily similar to using Interference.

Yet also fundamentally different.

When using Interference...

It was as though reality opened a single machine before him, allowing him to understand how individual parts functioned.

This...

This felt like someone had dumped the blueprint of the entire machine into his mind.

Not complete.

Not enough to understand.

But enough to know it existed.

The sheer amount of information made his scalp tingle.

Kael abruptly stood from the throne.

His heartbeat had accelerated without him realizing it.

"...What the hell was that?"

Varek wasn’t surprised.

Instead, he calmly answered.

"What Master perceived..."

"...was Law."

Kael frowned.

"Law..."

He had heard that word a couple of times over the past few days.

Yet he had never truly understood what it meant.

But now, after sitting on the throne and witnessing what he did, he seems to understand it. It feels as if that so-called law was the very framework reality itself operated on.

If so...

Why had merely sitting on the throne allowed him to perceive it?

As though hearing the unspoken question, Varek continued.

"This..."

He swept his arm across the entire throne room.

"...is a Seat of Authority."

Kael blinked.

"The throne?"

Varek slowly shook his head.

"Not merely the throne."

"This entire pocket dimension..."

"...is a Seat of Authority."

Kael’s brows knitted together.

"A Seat of Authority..."

"What exactly is that?"

Varek fell silent.

For several moments, he searched through the fractured remnants of his memories.

Finally, he spoke.

"I... cannot remember everything."

"But I remember enough."

"A Seat of Authority is required for beings wishing to ascend to an even higher realm of existence."

Kael immediately thought back to the overwhelming entity whose mere gaze had nearly erased him.

So...

This place probably belonged to that existence.

Which made another question immediately arise.

"Is this that valuable..."

"How does it help me?"

Varek answered without hesitation.

"Master has not reached that realm yet."

"But once one reaches a certain level..."

"Growth no longer depends solely on accumulating energy."

"It depends upon comprehending Law."

"In the greater cosmos..."

"Even treasures capable of increasing one’s comprehension speed by a tiny fraction are priceless."

His gaze shifted toward the throne.

"But this..."

"...is on an entirely different level."

"A Seat of Authority exists upon conceptual foundations."

"It naturally reveals fragments of reality itself."

"By cultivating here..."

"Master’s comprehension of Law will increase many times faster than it otherwise would."

Silence settled between them.

Kael looked back toward the throne.

Although he couldn’t fully grasp the magnitude of what Varek was describing...

He understood one thing.

Anything capable of accelerating one’s growth became exponentially more valuable the stronger a cultivator became.

His own rise had only been possible because his talent granted him absurd amounts of experience and attributes compared to everyone else.

Growth accelerators were priceless.
