Timeless Assassin

Chapter 1063 The Law Of Creation And Destruction

(90 days later, Leo’s POV, Planet V Star)

After mastering the law of space and gravity, it took Leo just ninety more days to master the law of creation and destruction as well, as once he began to ask the right questions, the answers became apparent.

Because the question was no longer what space was, or how gravity functioned, but rather… what exactly was matter, and how did it come into existence within the framework he had just begun to understand?

“You’re asking the right questions now, boy.

But the answers to those questions are something that you must comprehend yourself.

What is matter?

Why does it exist?

And how does energy allow it to move?”

The Timeless Assassin’s Projection said, as under his guidance, Leo shifted his focus inward once more, now studying not the vastness around him, but the smallest fragments of existence that occupied it. “Matter does not exist independently,” the projection said, its voice replaying in Leo’s mind while he focused on the structure of his own body.

“It exists because space allows it to, and it moves because gravity defines its path.”

Leo observed closely, realizing that matter did not sit within space passively, but continuously responded to the curvature around it, following invisible paths shaped by gravity.

A falling stone did not choose to descend.

A drifting planet did not choose its path.

They moved because space itself guided them.

“And yet,” the projection continued, “you are asking the wrong question if you only seek to understand how matter exists.”

Leo’s focus sharpened.

“Then what should I be asking?”

He wondered, as the projection smiled at the question.

“You should be asking….. how was it created in the first place?”

He prompted, as that question changed everything for Leo.

Because it was only then that he realized that matter was not permanent.

It was not absolute.

It was something that could be created… and destroyed.

Leo began tracing its existence, not as solid objects, but as temporary states, forms that emerged under specific conditions and dissolved under others.

A flame consumed wood and transformed it into heat, light, and ash. Water evaporated into vapor, then condensed back into liquid. Nothing was truly lost.

Only changed.

“Creation is not bringing something from nothing,” the projection said calmly.

“It is the rearrangement of what already exists.”

“And destruction?” Leo asked.

“The same process… viewed in reverse.”

As that understanding deepened, Leo’s perception sharpened further,

as he no longer saw matter as fixed, but as fluid, something constantly transitioning between states depending on the forces acting upon it.

He began to sense the thresholds.

The precise moments where form emerged… and where it unraveled.

The unseen exchanges occurring at every instant.

And then, the final connection revealed itself.

Energy.

Because what created matter… was energy.

And what destroyed it… was also energy.

Matter and energy were not separate, but two expressions of the

same principle, shifting between form and formlessness depending on

how they were influenced.

A spark became flame.

A flame became heat.

Heat dispersed into the surroundings.

Nothing disappeared.

It only changed form.

“Everything that exists,” the projection said, “is energy in a particular

state.”

“And everything that ceases to exist… returns to it.”

As Leo felt that truth settle within him, the boundaries between

concepts began to dissolve, as space, time, and energy no longer appeared as separate laws, but as interconnected aspects of a singular

system.

Space defined where things existed.

Time defined how they changed.

Energy defined what they were.

And together… they formed the law of the universe.

In that moment, Leo no longer felt like an observer trying to

understand reality.

He felt like a part of it.

As he returned to planet V Star after having completed his training, Leo excitedly reported his comprehension to the Timeless Assassin’s Projection, who listened to his words intently.

“Congratulations, you have now understood the basics of all the laws of the universe…”

The projection finally said, its voice calm, yet carrying a quiet authority that left no room for misinterpretation.

“But do not mistake understanding for perfection.”

It said, as Leo’s gaze sharpened slightly at the distinction.

“What you have done,” the projection continued, “is no different from studying enough to pass an exam. You have grasped the concepts, connected the pieces, and arrived at the correct conclusions. Which is absolutely commendable for someone at your stage.”

It paused briefly.

“But you have not yet lived them.”

Leo felt that truth resonate within him, as he instinctively understood

the gap being pointed out.

“When you ascend to Demi God-Hood and finally gain the ability to

influence matter, time, and space directly, that is when your real

journey begins,” the projection said, as its tone grew heavier with

intent.

“At that stage, you must not stop. You must refine, revisit, and perfect

your understanding until it is no longer knowledge… but instinct.”

The projection’s gaze deepened.

“During my lifetime, I managed to perfect two laws. Space… and time.”

A brief silence followed.

“Creation,” it said quietly, “was something I could never perfect.”

Leo’s eyes narrowed slightly, as the weight of that admission settled

in.

“If you wish to become something beyond a God someday,” the projection continued, “then during your journey through the

Demi-God realm, you must perfect all three.”

Its voice turned absolute.

“That is the only way.”

The air stilled.

And then, for the first time since this journey began, the projection

nodded in acknowledgement of Leo’s supreme talent. “For now… you have done enough.

I had never expected you to grasp the three laws so fast.

But you have.

Which is proof that you can surpass me if you don’t stray from your

path.”

A faint shift in presence followed, subtle, yet undeniable, as the

projection smiled and bowed.

“I grant you my acknowledgment,” it said, “and with it… my blessing to

ascend to the Demi-God stage.”

It said, as Leo bowed right back.

Returning respect with respect. “Thank you for your teachings so far.

I’ll be back to train more once I reach the Demi God Stage.

Until then…..

Take care old man.

I’ll see you soon.”

Leo said, as the projection gave him a firm nod.
