Chapter 2516

2516 - A Push

"I don't know if that's impressive or creepy…" Billy sat back down in his seat with a measure of feigned calm after the momentum flame disappeared, "You just turn into a different person?"

"Turn into a different person? Haha," Robin raised his head toward the sky and laughed, "No, no, that's not it. This is the momentum's aura, not my personal aura. You could say those traits you sense sometimes influence my judgment, perhaps making me lean slightly toward those qualities, but they don't control me."

Then he continued, "For example, if the Golden Momentum is active, you'd notice I lean more toward taking proactive steps… I'm still the one who decides and makes the call, but it undoubtedly has an effect. For instance, that dark green momentum makes my blood boil when I activate it, makes me want to eat the head of the person in front of me alive—but I didn't eat your head when I just activated it, haha."

"…Thanks." Billy muttered as a chill struck his back, "From what I can see, those colors are useless except for interfering with your decision-making process."

"Oh, quite the opposite." Robin waved a few times, "They're extremely important. In fact, you could say they're indispensable."

Robin looked into the distance and began to organize his thoughts, "From what I've experienced, they make me stronger."

"How?" Billy was surprised.

"I didn't know something like this existed, but… I think it gives me a sort of affinity?" Robin tilted his head slightly. "For example, while I'm activating the Golden Radiance, I feel that my use of Causality becomes noticeably stronger, and the more I use it, the greater my feeling for Causality and my understanding of it."

Then he looked into the distance again. "That's exactly why I wasn't surprised when Helmor told me that the All-seeing God is originally a Causality user. I don't know whether he chose Golden Momentum to help him, or whether he was the one who influenced the momentum and made it golden somehow… but what happened is that I'm at the peak of my power as a Causality user while using Golden Momentum, and at this particular stage, it's exactly what I need most."

Then he continued, "That green momentum gives me a boost in Spacetime in terms of use and understanding, and the dark purple one also gives me a Spacetime boost but in a different way. The green one makes destroying Spacetime easier for me, and the deadly purple makes slicing and dividing it like a piece of cake. Both are Spacetime power, but the feeling is completely different."

"As for the orange, it makes me feel a more overflowing power toward Creation, and I use it to find new and useful ideas that appear in my head and the way to create them. And the blood-red tilts me toward understanding Identity, and I feel different ways of how it can be used to kill."

Then he raised his shoulders slightly, "You could say that each type of momentum gives me a free boost toward a specific master law, and even in a particular way too."

"Free?" Billy's expression paled slightly, "Are you sure something with this much power is free?"

"So far, yes." Robin nodded, "I don't feel any extra pressure or excessive consumption when I switch between the different types of momentum," then he smiled, "You know what else? I haven't even explored all the momentum available to me yet. Whenever I sit with myself for a bit and explore, I find another color of momentum with a different ability!"

"…." Billy just stared hesitantly at Robin's face.

"Don't look at me like that, I think it's strange too," Robin waved a few times, "but it's good, and it deserves more research."

"And it deserves more secrecy too." Billy leaned forward slightly, "I don't know about these momentum topics, I haven't seen anyone but you use it, but this doesn't seem logical even to me… keep this secret between us."

"This is what I intend for the time being." Robin nodded. "That's why, from the very first moment I broke the All-seeing God's shackles and became Transcendent, I've still kept the All-seeing God's golden color." Then he shrugged slightly. "I tell myself, if it's normal for momentum to change like this, then there's no problem staying gold; and if it isn't normal, I'll stay gold so everyone thinks I'm still the All-seeing God's subordinate, and at the same time it gives me a push toward causality and long-term planning… a win in every corner."

"No wonder you said the All-seeing God wouldn't like it…" Billy sighed. "In the first case he'll be angry because you're using the color he chose, and in the second he'll be angry because you're hiding behind him… Is he someone you can afford to anger, Robin?"

"…There's no one I can't afford to anger." Robin replied seriously, looking into the distance. "It's a question of whether I want to or not…." Then he calmed slightly. "And I can't classify my situation with the All-seeing God yet."

Robin recalled a matter concerning Mila and felt displeased for a moment.

Then afterward he remembered that he had announced his relationship with the All-seeing God to the entire universe, and he chuckled..

On the Day of Coronation, the All-seeing God had threatened that he would drag him to hell if he mentioned his name or even hinted at him in front of a single person… and here he was now, exposing him, his rivals, the cycles, and everything that followed from them—the scandal of the milch goat in the morning at the market.

It is enjoyable for a person to be free to do as he pleases.

"What are you laughing at?" Billy raised an eyebrow.

"….." Robin's smile calmed a little. "At what will happen over the next few years."

Then he turned toward him. "What happened today was the beginning of a new era. This era that knows no walls will begin to appear within days and mature over years… even if we do nothing starting today, everything will change."

"…Interesting, what will happen from now on… interesting."
