"Hmm," Blob's voice continued thoughtfully. "What you just did—that wasn't merely the work of a skill. It wasn't your Space Freeze alone that did this. That level of immobilization, this wide of an area, done in just a moment… should have been impossible for the current you. Your skill simply isn't strong enough to freeze over a thousand entities in space. But you didn't use the skill alone. You instinctively overlaid it with a false domain. Your Space Concept influenced reality just enough to bypass the limits of the skill."
Blob paused, then added more quietly, "It seems that monolith you entered… whatever it gave you, it changed something. Deep. That world of space—it must've resonated with your talent. It's attuned to space more than anything else."
Max heard Blob's words and gave a light, almost imperceptible nod, his expression unreadable beneath the flickering shadows of the black sun above.
