How do you expect me to shatter the space-time fabric?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on top of the skyscraper’s topmost floor, Rio asked these questions to the person beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one sitting beside him was none other than Ashtel Rex, the strongest man on the planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are strong, Rio... don’t underestimate yourself; an awakener’s real strength and power come from their own confidence in themselves...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who don’t have confidence in themselves cannot wish to save others, as they can’t save themselves in the first place...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to take on a rescue mission... you must have confidence in yourself first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtel glanced at the bright city lights shining in the dark night, and a smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At a certain time of the day, the space-time fabric in that particular location gets weaker due to the interaction of the spirit realm with the material world...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why that place is referred to as the ’weak node’ in the first place... as long as you use your full strength, you should be able to break a hole in that place...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wormhole will then reveal itself to you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtel paused for a bit and then continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don’t use your legendary skill or any other powerful move once you are inside the wormhole... those things are usually very fragile in the first place; if it breaks, you will be thrown out to some random location in the universe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you would be forced to use the teleportation scroll to return home and the mission would fail...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing those words, Rio nodded his head asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talking about wormholes... don’t you usually shatter the space-time fabric all the time? Do wormholes appear often when you do your powerful attacks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtel’s entire skill set worked on how to deal with such devastating damage that even the space-time fabric won’t remain intact; thus, Rio was curious how he would deal with the wormholes that would open when using his powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just usually grab them and close them by hand... err... don’t give me those weird looks; I use my ’World Authority’ to send shockwaves through my hands and then close it with physical force...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same is true for the low-rank dungeons; you can just close them by force just the same way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truth be told, even I didn’t know about this ability before but I ended up copying it from the dragon king...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing those words, Rio rolled his eyes and thought to himself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are all people thieves in this world? We are stealing one or two things from one another... did I accidentally end up transmigrating in the world of thieves?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... what if you have to close a wormhole but you can’t use world authority... how would you do it then?...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Rio’s question, Ashtel smiled a bit and replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back when my world authority level was low and I was incapable of forcefully closing dungeons and wormholes, I used a clever trick to close them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtel’s ability is very good and efficient for sending shockwaves through the space-time fabric, and his strongest attacks include concentrating the shockwaves so much in one place that the space-time fabric shatters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This has been his main attack move for a very long time, so obviously he had to face wormholes and void storms that would appear every time he shattered the space fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before copying the dragon king, Ashtel had to use a trickier method to deal with them and it was,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wormholes are basically just cylindrical canals from one location to another if you think about it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you rupture it from inside, it might inflict damage outside due to unstable spatial fluctuations so to deal with them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would destroy the endpoint of the wormhole by sending powerful shockwaves through it and this will cause the wormhole to lose its ’end’ coordinate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when that happens the wormhole’s ’End’ re-shifts back to the ’Start’ point... creating a loop...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no ’End’ coordinate, all the energy of the wormhole will re-shift back to the ’start’ coordinate, turning that cylindrical canal into a donut-shaped closed loop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that donut-shaped closed loop, energy will remain in constant motion, and the wormhole will shift into a new stable state after being temporarily destabilized due to its end coordinate getting destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, the wormhole will loop back on its own self and will be closed... but doing this consumes tremendous energy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nowadays I just rupture the wormhole from outside, compress it and forcefully close it with my shockwaves; it’s less power-consuming and more environment friendly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that explanation from Ashtel, Rio felt amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you do some degree in physics or what? You are quite knowledgeable about space-time and its principles...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtel only gave a wry smile at those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been doing this thing for decades kiddo... after such a long time, anyone will become experienced enough in their respective field of strength...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though, truth be told, I was the worst when it came to studies and academic excellence... you might not believe me, but I was once at the very bottom among my peers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio was quite surprised after hearing those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that same bottom feeder is now the strongest man on this planet... why don’t you have a biography written about your life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I sure it will be a good source of inspiration for many...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtel shrugged his shoulders at those words and replied with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t really care about all that... I just like protecting the innocent smiles of the children of this nation... I like how everything is so bright and shining when it’s peaceful everywhere...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just hope that the days and nights of our nation will always remain so bright and nice... hehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after hearing those words did Rio come to understand why Ashtel liked sitting on skyscrapers and watching the city below so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was fond of watching humanity flourish and remain bright and shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on a skyscraper and feeling the cold breeze, he could watch far until the horizon and could see the entire city filled with bright lights and bright smiles everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the strongest was not just about preventing crime and destroying enemies; it also meant that you had to love your job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if you don’t love your job, how will you become a protector for millions of people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How will others depend on you if you don’t like others depending on you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the bright city flourish under his protection was a method of Ashtel Rex to reduce his own stress and help himself remain anchored to his own humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With tremendous strength comes tremendous responsibility, but it also brings tremendous opportunities for corruption and decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ashtel Rex didn’t like his job or felt annoyed protecting others, he would have walked on the wrong ’Path’ long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still able to keep himself anchored to his humanity because he loved his job and loved to watch the nation flourish every day.\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-05-30T11:25:49.991Z","2026-06-01T04:31:07.166Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c4340d8e4f24b215a1a31a946cdb85c1b29585f3eee6ac0ba57429dab08948d","reborn-as-an-extra-chapter-594","reborn-as-an-extra-chapter-592",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-an-extra-cover.jpg"]
