《Grasping》Chapter 36: The test

" All right here we are. Go have fun, Dice."
" Bye, Lord Magnus!"
" Don't look for me okay? I will pick you up within the next 100 years or so!"Dice simply blew a cherry at Magnus and continued running towards the field of pink clouds. Magnus sighed and steeled himself. Immediately after, he ascended to the 6th dimension. He felt the familiar feeling of energy being dragged into his soul. However, before the usual qualitative leap in power, he felt the flow of energy stop. Then, a pulse of his energy was sent outwards. Not more than a fraction of a second later, the energy returned and the qualitative leap in power came.
However, unlike the other 2 times, he had ascended, the remaining bit of energy he had after the ascension was expelled from his body. Confused, Magnus checked his soul for answers. However, this time he did not find a reason for this phenomenon. What he did see, however, was his ever-present myth, still there, like an unopened present.
Knowing that his ascension had been completed, Magnus started eating 5th-dimensional worlds and started the process of upgrading his concepts. As he ate and powered up, he started walking in a straight line, hoping to find something in this dimension. So far all he had seen was a seemingly unending stone floor stretching off into the distance. He felt instinctive that something was supposed to happen here. More people were supposed to be here...
As he walked, Magnus suddenly felt something click in his mind. Immediately after, he figured out where his expelled energy went.
' What is this? I can feel the lower dimensions.'
His energy seemed to have spread out over the lower dimensions. Magnus could feel his myth open itself the moment he started sensing the lower dimensions. He stood still and continued sensing in wonder. How he had grown, his tiny bit of energy was spreading over the lower dimensions and expanding his presence and myth all on its own.

Suddenly, he flinched.
He could feel it, the ever-present sensation that death could catch him at any time left. Tears sprung from the god's eyes for the first time since he was born.
" Yes... YES! YES! I did it! I did it! I beat it. I beat death. I am truly immortal now! Hahahaaha!!"
Magnus felt his soul connect to his very energy. His body turned into energy, his soul, his mind all mixed and turned into energy.
His energy.
Energy could not be destroyed.
True immortality.
