Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

"And?" the dragon questioned. "The Great I can see that you haven't created a World yet."

"No, I actually do have a World, I even created a World Core. It's just that I don't know the name of my own World, so I can't deploy my World."

Nyxtharion looked seriously confused.

"That's not how a Heavenbreaker grows. They create a World Core, then fill their empty World to turn it into a True World.

"Do you really have zero knowledge about a Heavenbreaker, and their abilities?"

"Huh?"

Neo suddenly felt he might've had misconceptions about his Heavenbreaker powers.

He decided to make everything clear.

"The World I and Kane come from have a Record that acts as a library where all our information is stored.

"That Record shows us our major abilities when we say the word 'status'.

"My Status showed me that the name of my world was a question mark (???), which made me think I already had a world. The angel of Outer God I knew and myself came to this conclusion too.

"And when I created a World Core, I reached First Step Heavenbreaker (Ascender) rank, but I still don't know the name of my World, and it shows a question mark in Status page of my World name.

"This is why I think I can't deploy my World," Neo explained.

The dragon sighed.

Since he had only taken a sweeping glance at Neo's memory earlier, this news was a first for him.

He wondered why Neo had been thinking that the information he got from the angel, someone who herself was unaware of Heavenbreaker powers, was correct.

The dragon sighed again, and decided he needed to teach Neo a lot of things.

"Half-Step Ascension. A Heavenbreaker reaches this rank when their consciousness becomes powerful enough to be used as pure energy, and in doing so, they break free from Heavenly Principals created by the ■."

Neo was not able to heard the name of the creator of Heavenly Principals.

However, he did not interrupt the dragon before he was done explaining.

"To breakthrough to the next rank, that is First-Step Ascension, a Heavenbreaker needs to create a foundation. A World Core, in other words.

"After creating a World Core, you reach the First-Step Ascension rank.

"How do you think Heavenbreaker grows stronger now?"

Before Neo could answer, the dragon spoke,

"By creating a World around the World Core."

Nyxtharion #2 gave Neo a stare.

"So, yes, you do not have a World yet. As for why your Status page shows a question mark, the Record either did not know about Heavenbreakers.

"Or it's because the name doesn't even exist yet, hence a question mark for a name."

Neo wanted to groan.

He felt stupid, knowing how much time he had wasted, trying to find the name of his World when in fact he did not have a World, and therefore there was no name to find.

"You know an awful lot."

"That is true."

The dragon did not explain why he knew so much.

After all, even if he was an elder dragon, he should be nowhere as old as entities like Ancient dragons, Starwish Whales or Demons.

"Now, let's start your training," the dragon said, purposefully changing the topic. "To create a new energy type, you first need to start creating your world."

"Why are you talking like it's something very easy?"

"It is easy. Just summon your World Energy, and wrap it around your sword without leaving any space. That would mean your sword is inside your World."

"Wait, you just said I do not have a World."

"What you have right now is an empty World. It is like having a plot of land where the house has not been constructed yet. For you, having a World means filling your empty World with new objects.

"Now as the Great I said, your sword is wrapped by your energy, thus it is inside your World."

"So anything covered by my energy is inside my World?"

"Yes, your World is your territory, and you use energy to mark your territory. When you cover your sword in World Energy, it's like saying, this sword is mine as it exists in my territory, or in other words, my World."

"That's... it?"

"Yes. That's it, for the beginning steps at least."

The dragon, no longer acting haughty, chuckled seeing Neo's expression.

"Did you think we were going to do some sort of ancient ritual? You should've already expected this, Neo Hargraves.

"Have you not seen how True Domain and Sanctuary work? A True Domain is nothing but an area that is filled by your energy and Concept.

"And a Sanctuary is just a True Domain that has been elevated to a state where it becomes a unique dimension itself. In other words, Sanctuary too is a place filled by your energy, and some extra steps."

Neo nodded with a complicated expression.

He had expected to learn a new technique to create a World. It was a surprise that he just had to do something he had been already doing.

Wrapping his sword in World Energy, he waited for next instructions.

"Now, that you have done it, you can say your sword exists inside your World. Do you know another place that is filled by your World Energy?"

"...My body?"

"Exactly, the contents of your body also exist inside your World. Needless to say, the contents of your body are still in physical realm, but if you want you can send it in your World."

"...?"

Neo had never been more confused.

Jack shagging his own ancestor had made more sense to him than the lesson he was undergoing.

Nyxtharion noticed Neo's expression.

The more dragon thought about these things, the more he became amazed.

Being a newly ascended First Step Heavenbreaker, Neo should be as strong as a Grade 5 Exalted, or a new Stage 2 God.

Moreover, Neo had zero knowledge about his Heavenbreaker abilities, which made him weaker than normal Heavenbreakers.

In other words, Neo shoud be weaker than Exalted rank beings and Stage 2 Gods.

Yet he was capable of fighting enemies who at Fabled rank, or were Stage 3 Gods.

Calling him a genius would be an understatement of the highest degree.

He was, quite literally, a talent above heavens.
