Reincarnated with a lucky draw system

Chapter 336: EPIPHANY III

"Oh?" Aaron muttered, his concentration broken momentarily as a particularly fierce beam glanced off the shield, the vibration traveling up his arms like a distant tremor.

Aaron’s concentration was broken, his mystic eyes capturing the intricate details of the space shards as well as the space elements powering the skill.

The golden filaments arced across his sclera, tracing the energy flows like glowing veins pulsing with life, the structure unfolding in layers of clarity that made the once-mysterious mechanics feel intimately familiar, the faint hum of the shards resonating in his ears.

Comparing the energy flow and composition, Aaron slowly began to realize the reason his attempt to merge time and space proved impossible, while he could use them properly individually.

The insight dawned gradually, the mystic eyes highlighting the clashing currents in stark contrast, time’s silver threads knotting against space’s black voids, the realization settling over him like a cool wave amid the chaos of battle.

It was a simple component of domination. The word echoed in his thoughts, the mystic eyes zooming in on the elemental rivalry, each force vying for supremacy like ancient rivals locked in eternal combat, the air around him seeming to thicken with the weight of understanding.

Whenever he used both elements together, without deliberately making one the supplementing element, both elements ended up clashing and vying for domination.

The conflict played out vividly in his vision, sparks of destructive interference dancing where the forces met, the air humming with the echoed discord that now felt so preventable, his pulse quickening with the thrill of discovery.

That was the root cause of the attacks made by combining both abilities sizzling out after a while.

The destructive interference became painfully clear, the elements canceling each other in a vicious cycle of mutual sabotage, the mystic eyes tracing the dissolution in real-time detail that made his previous failures seem almost laughable.

But whenever he used a skill requiring just one element, it worked perfectly as there was no destructive interference by another element on it.

The purity of singular focus shone brightly in his perception, the energy flowing smoothly like a river unblocked by dams, the comparison illuminating the path forward with undeniable logic.

After what felt like hours of study, Aaron finally began to gain an epiphany.

Time seemed to dilate around him, the world slowing to a crawl as insights cascaded through his mind, the titans’ movements becoming languid shadows in his enhanced awareness, the epiphany blooming like a supernova in his thoughts.

Boom!

The space shards were shattered by the titan commander using his sledgehammer.

The weapon crashed down with thunderous force, the impact resonating through the corridor like a seismic wave that shook the metal walls, fragments of distorted space scattering like broken glass that glinted briefly before vanishing into the void.

He decided to take matters into his own hands after the lack of effectiveness of his own soldiers in destroying the shield.

Frustration boiled in his massive chest, his armored form lumbering forward with ground-shaking steps, the air distorting around the hammer’s destruction-coated head that trailed black smoke like a comet’s tail.

"Don’t even think you can hide forever," he mocked Aaron, gripping his hammer tightly.

His knuckles whitened under the strain, veins bulging along his thick arms like twisted ropes, the scent of ozone intensifying as destructive energy gathered in swirling vortices around the weapon.

Exerting great force, he swung the hammer toward Aaron, seeking to crush Aaron with one brutal swing.

The motion whistled through the air with a low, ominous whoosh, the hammer’s head trailing void-black trails that ate at the surrounding space, the force behind it compressing the air into visible ripples.

"Stop bothering me, pest," Aaron muttered in disdain, dodging the hammer coated with destruction element.

His body twisted with fluid grace, the mystic eyes predicting the trajectory via causality comprehension, the near-miss brushing his cloak with a rush of displaced air that carried the faint, bitter scent of annihilation.

He remained focused on digesting the epiphany he was having, causing him to dodge the attacks of the titan while being absent-minded.

The world blurred around him into a haze of motion, the commander’s roars becoming distant noise like thunder from a far-off storm, his mind immersed in the elemental fusion, body moving on instinct honed by eternal sight and perceptual elasticity.

It took a while, but Aaron slowly began to realize the flaw he had when trying to merge the time and space elements together.

The insight crystallized in his thoughts like ice forming on a chilled surface, the mystic eyes highlighting the imbalance in vivid, layered detail, the solution unfolding like a map drawn in starlight before him.

Stretching both hands, Aaron slowly began to merge the elements of time and space, closely watching how both elements reacted with one another.

Energy flowed from his palms in controlled, glowing streams, the golden irises dissecting the union with absolute insight, the air humming with building power that made his skin tingle.

With his eyes, he could see the details, the flaw in his merging and how to merge them perfectly to retain the balance.

The mystic eyes revealed the optimal harmony in real-time, adjustments becoming instinctive as the elements blended like puzzle pieces clicking into place, the vacuum around him seeming to hold its breath.

Unlike in the past where Aaron merged them like two independent elements to become one, Aaron merged them like two elements part of a jigsaw to create a larger element.

The shift was profound, the fusion feeling natural and seamless, the air warping slightly with the emergent power that sent subtle vibrations through his body.

He combined the two elements together to form a homogenous mixture rather than a heterogeneous one.

The blend stabilized with a soft, resonant hum, the mystic eyes confirming the perfect integration, no clashes but a unified whole pulsing with transcendent energy that warmed his palms.

It was like mixing two elements to create a brand new compound.

The result thrummed in his grasp with a life of its own, the air vibrating with the birth of something greater, his body invigorated by the success as a faint glow emanated from his hands.

And with assistance from his mystic eyes that could help him see the composition, Aaron succeeded.

Triumph surged through him like a wave, the golden filaments arcing brightly across his sclera, the new talent settling into his being like a missing piece found, his breath steadying amid the ongoing assault.
