  1. “Burst Step,” I answered with a smirk. “Turns out that the technique I developed a few years back was already the first step into gaining insight into this specific edict.”
  2.  
  3. Regis tilted his head. “Pun intended?”
  4.  
  5. I frowned. “What pun?”
  6.  
  7. “Step… nevermind.” Regis let out a sigh. “So, what changed from the original Burst Step?”
  8.  
  9. While difficult to explain using words, I described the sensation that I had felt when using Burst Step against the titanic beast guarding the portal. Instead of stimulating just the parts of my body needed to take that ‘step’, I coalesced aether throughout my body. Different from when I used aether to strengthen myself, the knowledge that I had gained insight into guided me. It was almost like tuning the frequency of aether into a specific channel for a split second, allowing me to cut through space to a predetermined location.
  10.  
  11. As expected, Regis actually looked more confused than before I explained it. Without the insights I had gained at that moment, I probably would’ve had the same look as well. After gaining insights into both the edict of destruction and this specific branch of space, I could see why Indrath’s attempts at gaining insights into aether through torturing the ancient mages were fruitless.
  12.  
  13. It’s not that they didn’t explain, it’s that they couldn’t. Even this latest edict was different from when I had fully used Sylvia’s dragon will. Back when I was able to use this sort of pseudo Burst Step, that was me ‘folding’ space and taking a physical step through that fold in order to cross an impossible distance.
  14.  
  15. This, while having a similar outcome, was different. I wasn’t manipulating the space around me, but manipulating my body into this aetheric vibration capable of slipping through space at a near-instant speed.
  16.  
  17. “So it’s like Burst Step 2.0,” Regis surmised.
  18.  
  19. “It’s not true teleportation but I’d say it’s on a much higher level than Burst Step.”
  20.  
  21. Regis’ tail began to wag. “So like…Divine Step?”
  22.  
  23. I let out a sigh. “Must you give a name to everything? Don’t you think it sort of belittles the technique?”
  24.  
  25. “Only if the name sucks,” he responded. “Hmm…Asura Step?”
  26.  
  27. I raised a brow. “Our enemies, the ones we have to beat, are asuras.”
  28.  
  29. “You’re right,” he said before his eyes lit up. “Ooh! God Step.”
  30.  
  31. I thought for a moment before a smile crept up on my face. “God Step…I like it.”
  32.
