nexus sphere 2.

Soon, a shocking five thousand years passed. Apexion was still seated in the void, only his figure was now radiating a faint mysterious aura. During these thousands of years, he had gained a slight understanding of what the structure was.

In his perception, the structure was, just as he assumed, a higher level of runes but not runes; no, it was far from it. If runes were the building blocks of the world, then this structure is the thing that instructs it how to build.

The reason why he came to this conclusion is that this particular structure in the sphere was basic, ingraining the abilities of the Nexus particles it was producing: enhancing the strength of any living creature and non-living thing, determining how much to enhance it, and how much not to enhance it.

He deduced that there must be other structures like this hidden in the vacuum, beyond his gaze dictating the operation of things, setting the laws of objects.
