She came up with an innovative use of his Concept just by hearing the basic information about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, while that sounds nice and all, I think we should start with Space Perception. Baby steps first,\" Neo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Elizabeth nodded. \"How do I help you gain Spatial Perception?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just use Space Elemental manipulation, but at the level of low mastery. I will try to copy it with my Shadow Affinity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her non-elemental Energy into Space Elemental Energy. Silver motes of light appeared around her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sent them around Neo and made them encircle him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo watched the Elementals carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space Affinity was powerful. It could help him in his battle against Tyr if he could use attacks like Space Render and Black Holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows slithered around his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo concentrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was Space?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The empty area before him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That emptiness was Void. It was not Space. Then, what was Space? Neo imagined Space as a sea of countless tiny particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black motes of light began to materialize above Neo's hand. They had a slight blue hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You copied it quite fast.\" Elizabeth was surprised. \"This is just Elemental Manipulation. Let's try a bit more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She controlled the Space Elementals to compress. They resisted at first. Her masterful control condensed them into a thin line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used that line to attack the 'space' that was already present there. It created a line-shaped tear in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo followed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to condense the mimicked Space Elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as if he was trying to put two solid objects at a single coordinate and have them overlap, which was supposed to be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Elizabeth's Space Elementals that condensed with minor effort, his mimicked Space Elementals seemed to hate the idea of listening to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beads of sweat rolled down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a trick Neo had learned that allowed him to be better at Elemental Manipulation. It was how he progressed his Elemental masteries to Savant (High) within a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced his Intent into the Elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ordered them to listen and used his ungodly willpower to break apart their will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Shadow Trial, Emma (Nyx) taught him two types of Incantations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Harmony Pathway Incantations that everyone used, the other was Willpower Pathway Incantations that those with high willpower used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harmony Pathway Incantations taught awakeners to 'request' the Elementals to fulfill their demands. Often times, the Elementals would refuse, and magic would fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willpower Pathway Incantations forced the Elementals to listen to the awakeners. It was done by forcing their thoughts into Elementals and using one's willpower to bend their will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willpower Pathway was dangerous. If Elementals were angered as they were forced by awakeners, they would complain to the Elemental Supreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Awakeners would be punished and suffer a fate worse than death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was why Neo never used Willpower Pathway Incantations. The risks outweighed the gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if Neo used Willpower Pathway Incantations on the Elementals he created, and not the ambient, naturally existing Elementals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When one created Elemental Energy by turning non-elemental energy into Elemental Energy, it was actually done by transforming the non-elemental energy into Elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Elementals were not sapient like naturally occurring Elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to this most didn't realize that the Elemental Energy they created was a cluster of Elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while these Elementals were not sapient, they still had instincts of their basic nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instincts became the reason the mimicked Space was resisting Neo's control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced his thoughts into the Elementals' minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were created by him, they were a part of him and couldn't complain to Elemental Supremes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is this slavery?' Neo suddenly wondered. He shook his head and erased the useless thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elementals, even natural ones, weren't alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it wasn't slavery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlling the mimicked Space Elementals became much easier after Neo forced his thoughts into their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bluish-black motes condensed and formed a line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo made the line burst, and the air (space) was torn apart in the shape of a line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was breathing heavily. His clothes were drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… might be quite talented in Space Element manipulation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for the compliment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I'm not giving you fake praise,\" Elizabeth said, noticing his expression. \"The thing you just did needs Adept mastery of Space. You reached it instantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words gave Neo pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he mastered mimicked Space up to Adept mastery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or had he copied her technique, which showed Adept mastery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo recalled the Darkness' words. It had asked him to use Shadow Supreme's treasure and copy what he was seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking again, he had somehow learned Dimensional Shift just by watching Air Elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feat had been so impressive that it shocked Sphinx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is this the result of the treasure?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An idea formed in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If I can copy what I see, what are the limits of it?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned towards Elizabeth, slightly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you show me more Space Elemental Manipulation techniques? Preferably of Expert mastery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She created two sheets of Elementals, one along the ceiling and the other on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Neo was wondering what she was doing, the Space Elementals above started to send out tiny packets of energy downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elementals on the ground absorbed the packets of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Huh? Elementals can be broken down into smaller particles?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Neo could complete his thoughts, an overwhelming amount of gravity smashed on top of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that whatever touched the tiny packets of energy was being pulled downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like you can sense the sub-particles that are released by Space Elementals,\" Elizabeth said. \"We call it Graviton. Space Elementals are always releasing or absorbing Gravitons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a look at this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She changed the shape of Space Elementals and formed a ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight effort, she compressed the ball of Space Elementals into a single point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the ball began to absorb the Gravitons being released by natural Space Elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It created a powerful pull towards the point where Space was compressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Black Hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was weaker than its naturally existing counterpart. But the force was enough to make Neo feel like his body's skin and cells were being forcibly pulled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth snapped her fingers, and the Black Hole disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You try it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1100,"2026-05-30T08:00:57.451Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd501d30b475b1a525ab21367328b1f52ab28d2e4628762cb34dc7de760f6e02","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-452","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-300",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
