His actions weakened him to a terrible extent. After all, from an entity that was empowered by all the deaths in the multiverse to someone now only empowered by the deaths in his Dreand, Compass Carburettor''s strength fell by a lot.


    It had to be understood that his concept was Mortality. Meaning, his concept only existed at the moment of a life''s death. So, at that moment, it empowered him.


    But before and after that, he wasn''t empowered.


    Meaning, if suppose ten million creatures were to die at one moment, Compass Carburettor would be empowered ordingly. But in the next moment, eight million creatures were to die, it would mean a reduction in his strength by twenty percent.


    This was how concepts functioned. If they were in use, they functioned. If not in use, they vanished. The greater their use, the stronger they were.


    This was why Truck-Kun''s strength continued to climb over the years, because more and more people were bing aware of his concept, which empowered him when all idents rted to trucks were put on him.


    So, in the case of ten million deaths, if only one million deaths were to happen the next second, Compass Carburettor would only be at a tenth of his prior strength.


    But, this didn''t matter in the end. After all, the multiverse was just that ginormous. The number of deaths happening every second was impossible for the human mind to fathom and wrap around.


    So, Compass Carburettor was being empowered to a tremendous extent. But now that it wasn''t there, he became weak immediately. But, he wasn''t concerned.


    After all, every single particle in his Dreand was a Secret Society member. Meaning, even the smallest of atomic reactions would mean the death of two members—atoms—and the birth of a new member—molecule.


    So, as every single particle was treated as a living entity in his Dreand, even the most minimalistic of actions would cause the deaths of countless Secret Society members and the birth of many.


    Thanks to that, he was still strong enough.


    Externally, he only represented the present of his concept. That meant that he was only empowered by the deaths happening at that moment. And when he tried to synchronise with the past of ten universes and be empowered by the deaths of its past, he exploded.


    It was too much for him to bear.


    But in the case of the Dreand, that wasn''t an issue. After all, every single particle there was himself, and the data regarding everything happening there too was stored in his Dreand. Meaning, as the deaths continue to happen in his Dreand, he was gradually growing stronger in a cumtive manner.


    The number of deaths happening at that moment only contributed to the rate of his concept''s growth and not the overall strength it output. So, even though he was weakened at the moment, his potential was endless.


    Boom!


    With his thoughts concluded, Compass Carburettor unleashed a terrifying suction force, causing the star to shrink in response, causing its gravitational pull to be fiercer. This ended up attracting the stars nearby, causing them to collide to create an even more terrifying star.<novelnext></novelnext>


    The gravitational pull umted, causing its effective range to increase as one after another, more stars were being pulled towards it.


    And at the centre of it all was Compass Carburettor, absorbing the sulent energy in a controlled manner as he used the power of his Dreamcraft every time the situation went bonkers and a ckhole was created.


    Using Dreamcraft, he reversed the cause and modified it to keep everything steady. Thest thing he wanted was to be blown into smithereens by an ident of nature. Yes, he would revive immediately after since his concept wouldn''t be damaged by a natural explosion, but it would interrupt his absorption.


    He would have to waste a lot of time to get the flow right once again. As he was running short of time, he had no ns to waste it.


    Boom!


    The Dreand expanded in size, causing newnd to form. And from thend emerged all sorts of creatures, from animals to insects to humans and even nts. Once they gained their forms, they began to build their respective civilisation, as if kids woken up from a long dream.


    The world began to rapidly take shape based on the free will of the people there. The seven Psyche Stars were in the sky, shining their light on every living creature as they gradually distanced themselves from one another as the space was expanding.


    As long as the Dreand bes massive enough to house trillions upon trillions of lifeforms, his strength would continue to grow at a rapid pace. And all he needed to create more was simply sunlight.


    That was bountifully avable in the present universe. Compass Carburettor calcted that even if he spent a century in this universe, he would still be unable to absorb all the energy present in the stars here.


    It made him change his mind about the strength a Genre Representative wielded. After all, they epassed the entirety of the universes under them, for thews of the worlds in them were connected to the foundation of the universe.


    But, just as he experienced, there was an internal conflict in their powers. The majority of the powers simply conflicted with each other, only resulting in minor dregs that survived the constant sh.


    The powers unleashed by the Genre Representatives were just these ''dregs.''


    "So, that was why they always remain on the fence. It''s not that they weren''t pressured by the Systems, but it was just that they represented such an unscble power that even the mighty Systems were just ants in their perception." Compass Carburettor muttered, "After all, even with the dregs resulting from the sh in the millions of powers funnelling into them, the Genre Representatives are still able to fight on par with the Systems."


    "That''s their true foundation." Compass Carburettor muttered as his merchant nature caused him toin in response, "How inefficient. They''re barely employing a fraction of a percentage of their boundless power."


    "No, it''s not that they won''t use beyond that, but they can''t." He nodded in understanding, "It was the same for me too. The moment I tried to harness a bit more of my concept''s true potential, I exploded."


    "It''s kind of irritating indeed. Now, what Arnark uttered before Immortal''s death makes sense."
