Magnus found himself back in his domain. Dice ran over to him and started shooting her barrage of questions.
" Lord Magnus! What happened? Did you find a suitable world? Was it interesting? Did you visit mom-"
Magnus turned to look at Dice in a daze.
" When did you start calling Nuwa, mom?! Why am I still Lord Magnus?"
Dice realised that her question was deflected and pouted.
" Not telling until you bring me to the new world!"
Magnus sighed and got up from the floor. The girl bothering him looked at Magnus curiously.
" Why are you on the floor anyway, my Lord?"
Magnus walked over to the sofa and sat down. He then searched his domain for any specks of that being's energy. Finding none, he sighed in relief.
" I accidentally stumbled upon another being's world and it kicked me out."
Dice's expression turned serious when she heard this.
" He managed to kick you out of a dimension despite your space concept? Was he really that powerful? Are we in trouble?"
Studying his soul for any damage, Magnus realised that the being did not mean harm. It simply did not like that he was trespassing. Finding his soul in perfect condition, Magnus answered Dice.
" The being was honestly not very powerful. But it was or is?... very experienced."
" Will it retaliate?"
" I believe that it will not, it simply did not like me."
Dice let out a sigh of relief and sat down next to Magnus.
" Will you be going out again?"
" You are all questions today, aren't you?"
Dice stared at Magnus indignantly and pouted again. This caused her lord to laugh.
" No, no, I will not be going out to find new dimensions yet. This encounter made me realise that if I could eat lower dimensions, there must be other beings that can do the same. I would be highly unlikely that I would ever meet one but it is still possible."
" So, what will we do? I don't want to cultivate for all eternity..."
" Hmm... I just have to put my hopes in that..."
" In what?"
Magnus scratched his chin and stared blankly at the wall. Dice noticed this and started slapping Magnus softly.
" Come on, tell me!"
" My concept of grasping is tier 7. It has a distinct difference from anything below it. The rest of my tier 5 abilities and concepts seem to have a limit of sorts. Whereas the tier 7 ability does anything it is supposed to do as long as it is something that I can imagine happening. So-"
Dice narrowed her eyes at this statement and frowned.
" I want to visit Rory tomorrow. You are not worming your way out of that."
Magnus simply sighed, Dice had seen through him before he could even form his excuses to procrastinate.
the characters feel rather 2 dimensional especially his "family" you have the kidnapped goddess that you groomed into a wife the complete stranger who you made an apostle then left for 1000 years then ask her to travel with you at random obviously she gonna say yes like any good side character would and we have the main character who acts like 10-15 from time to time he's afraid of being alone soft for his "family" ruthless to others I mean otherwise from his ability he's not unique by the way he's still not immune to temporal attacks according to quantum mechanics and quantum immortality that's impossible the very act of him doing anything and I mean anything at all makes another timeline and universe in a different reality so even though he thinks there's only one him there an infinite number of hims doing the same thing over and over again in different realities not universes also sorry for my awful English and lack of punctuation I really can't bother and author I'm just saying this because I love your book and want to see you improve
You are absolutely right about the 'family'! I am glad someone noticed! I have plans for that.
His ability is indeed not unique! There are many people in my imaginary universe that have the ability that does better or worse than him. He might face some resistance in the future. Either way, I don't plan to make it too difficult on Magnus.
Temporal attacks don't work on him because he can only exist on one timeline and time always moves forward. In my imaginary universe, temporal attacks are difficult to pull off and most of the time only result in a fractured separate timeline that cannot exist when it comes to the Mc as he ate all his other-selves at the start of his journey. In order for a temporal attack to work, it has to be super subtle like a paper slip subtle. Magnus has not made enemies who can use the time to such a degree.
Thanks for the criticism either way.
