There was no enormous phenomenon that appeared announcing that Lucien had reached another level.
His body simply began changing.
Living Creation spread through every part of him.
The Omnigenesis Vessel accepted it without resistance.
His Divine Energy Core shifted with the change.
The boundaries between body, Law, authority, and inner world became subtly less distinct.
Lucien felt Space. Not merely through the Law or through practiced perception.
He felt distance as though it had become another sense.
Nearby locations no longer seemed separated by empty intervals.
He could feel how they were connected.
Time changed as well.
Lucien did not suddenly control it absolutely.
That would have been absurd.
But the movement of moments became clearer.
The difference between one instant and the next gained texture.
He could sense acceleration, delay, continuity, and disruption with a familiarity that had not existed before.
Then Life and Death responded.
