As Christopher watched the sparring match between Titus and Kim, he continued to ponder on a few things.
'The Duality Nexus Physique is a fixed stage,' He thought, recalling it's lack of subdivisions like Low, Mid, Advanced, or Peak. It was unique compared to all the other Physiques he'd seen. And it was even stranger considering Silver and the others had attained the Low Totality Physique.
'It's a Physique that represents the harmony between Creation and Void. In that case, it might not rely on incremental growth since it's already at a state of Equilibrium. But…' this thoughts trailed off.
During the times when he tested his new abilities, he noticed something odd. His Physique didn't seem to grant him any direct enhancements. That said the passive boost it gave him was simply insane, easily dwarfing what anyone else in the Primordial Expanse might have attained, but still, that was about it.
Instead, he realised that, while not yet adept at ut, it allowed him to interact with Reality, that is, both Creation and Void, and even the vague, underlying film of existence itself, which he still didn't quite understand. And that got Christopher thinking, even more than he was already doing.
'What if I'm thinking about this wrong, and it's not simply about power in the normal sense? What if this Physique isn't a peal, but more of a bridge.' He mused.
He had already learned that his Physique helped him in his ability to use and harmonise Creation and Void, allowing him to tap into both without any conflict whatsoever.
However, he was certain there was more to it than that. After all, the system said that the reason his Physique had no distinction was because it wasn't bound by the presence of existence and had no need to climb since there was no ceiling in the first place.
In that case, wouldn't that mean that Christopher would be capable of interacting with existence on a scale most beings at his level wouldn't be able to? After all he now knew if he wanted to, he could simply cut off the connection a being had with an aspect of reality and render them helpless. If his Physique was beyond, or at least unbound by the constraints of existence, wouldn't he be capable of sound even more fantastical things?
Moreover, despite not have any distinctions to indicate a capacity of growth, Christopher had a sinking feeling that his Physique was capable of getting exponentially stronger than it already was.
He sighed.
'Then there's the issue with my standing at the Apex rank and other beings at that Level.' He pondered
Apex ranked entities, despite their incredible strength, were still tied existence, AKA the frameworks or Creation, Void, or whatever source they drew their power form. But apparently, Christopher's abilities operated on a 'Higher Meta-level.'
'I can't say for sure if I can overpower another Apex ranked being in terms of raw strength,' He acknowledged. 'But I can interfere with the link they have to whatever system they rely on.'
He thought back to what the System had told him about Dimension energy and how it influences aspects of existence.
'So does that mean I'm playing by different rules? Or I'm breaking them entirely?' That got him thinking. If his abilities allowed him to tamper with the fabric of certain aspects of existence, which as far as he was aware, shouldn't be possible, what would happen to him? In the sense that, what Would happen if someone strong found out he had such an ability and tried something?
Then he snorted.
'So what? I'm not gonna stop using my powers because it might piss someone off.' He shook his head.
Then he started to come up with different possibilities of what he could use his new abilities to do.
'What happens if I use my control over Dimensional energy to "rewrite" the properties of something tied to Creation or the Void? Not cutting off the connection, but changing ingredients it instead. What would that do? Would it still be cut off, or would it change into something entirely?'
'And back to my Physique again. Could it allow me to bypass the natural checks and balances of the tapestry of fate? Or more than I already can anyway. And would interacting with the higher forces that government realms screw me over? Would there be other beings like the ones that looked my way? Or would I be hidden?' He was silent for a while, then he sighed.
'Theories theories. Nothing will change unless I actually conduct some tests.' He sighed.
'I need to consolidate My strength and everything I can do currently. I'm fairly certain my stunt attracted quite a few eyes, beyond the ones that made the system tweak. I may have achieved something unique as an Apex ranked being, but the fact is that, I'm still at the bottom of the ladder.' He frowned slightly.
'A slightly fresher fish that most. But still just a fish. I can't get complacent.' He looked around at his subordinates and huffed.
'That said. What exactly should I do next? I don't need to worry about being found by anyone due to the Veil. But I also can't sit around and do nothing. I still have to go out at some point if I want the Dimension to grow. So it's kind of a necessity for me to leave from time to time.' He tilted his head.
'That said, I'm an anomaly, and I'm sure some people have managed to catch my scent already and are waiting for when next I appear. I need to be very, very cautious if I want to not die.' He sighed. There was a lot to do.
But probably the most pending issue was fully discovering his abilities. He had spent a lot of time coming up with theories and hypothesising about what he coukd and couldn't do. But unless he actually began to experiment, they would remain as theories.
He knew this, but he hadn't done anything like experimenting because he wanted to first make sure that everything within the Dimension was running smoothly and progressing without any issues. And now that he was sure of that, he no longer came up with scenarios in his head and decided to do the actual thing.
As for how he was going to start his experiments.
"Okay guys, gather up." He said softly, his voice Low enough that normally, only Belladonna and Silver who were closest to him should have heard him.
However, in the next moment, Kim abruptly stopped violating Tutus and teleported to his front. Space shattered like mirrors and Prism appeared. A beam on light and a beam of darkness descended revealing the Twins, Thanatos just kinda spawned. And Lenax appeared with a torrent of water that vanished shortly.
"Yes Master?" They all said in unison, even Belladonna as she had removed her fangs from his arm to look at him.
He floated off Silver's back to look at all of them and looked around the room. Then he snapped his fingers.
Before any of them could react, they were all in a larger room. Far larger actually.

With the incredible magic and technology tye Haven of the Enlightened possessed, things like compressing and expanding space wasn't really difficult. As such, it wasn't too surprising that this room was dozens of Kilometers across and made with incredibly durable materials. Clearly it was a room meant for combat.
Titus was also there looking very confused and flustered.
"Okay, resting time is over." Christopher said lightly.
"We'll go back to our previous schedule of me sparring with you guys regularly. So ready up. Also Titus you can sit the one out.." As he said.
Titus immediately nodded and ran to the sidelines.
Christopher nodded and teleported back to the far side of the room. A normal person would have only been able to see a vague dot from that distance, but his subordinates could still see him clearly.
He took off his shirt to reveal a black singlet that hugged his abdomen tightly, emphasising his lean yet powerful and beautifully crafted muscles.
He cracked his knuckled which sounded as though several nukes were going off.
At the same time, several intense Auras suddenly erupted from the edge of the room as everyone got ready.
No one intended to hold back against Christopher as everyone who had a more powerful form entered it, Thanatos summoned his Undead army, several reflections appeared around Prism, Kim transformed and electricity cackled around her while an artificial moon appeared high above the room courtesy of Silver.
Belladonna activated her Royal Exclusive Skill and Lenax transformed with a powerful roar. The Twins Let their Auras run rampant as the room brightened and dimmed at the same time.
Christopher just stretched and warmed up. He had no intention of summoning any of his weapons and was gonna fight with his fists alone.
'Hopefully I don't forget and create weapons from magic. Meh, whatever.' He shrugged and entered a stance.
"Come at me." He said calmly. Then all he'll broke loose.
