Chapter 19
That night—
Rudeus continued.
But now—
His focus had changed.
"…Emperor-tier is defined."
So what lay beyond—
Couldn't be approached the same way.
"…Remove definition."
He didn't form a spell.
Didn't define structure.
He defined only—
Result.
"…Alter the space here."
Mana responded.
The air—
Distorted.
Not visually.
But fundamentally.
"…That's new."
Even Rudeus paused.
Because this wasn't elemental.
It was environmental.
"…So magic can affect rules."
That realization—
Marked the edge of God-tier.
