The Veilwalker

Sometime later, Cassandra had to leave the Grays. Alexander knew the catwoman had no place to live, so he made a suggestion.

Outside planet Earth, Alex and Cassandra stood in space, staring at the celestial bodies, particularly planet Jupiter.

"You could make that planet your new home," Alex suggested. "Of course, that is if you want to live here."

"Let’s get closer," Cassandra said as she flew ahead, reaching the planet’s orbit in a second.

Unlike the other planets, Jupiter didn’t have much of a surface and the atmosphere was unfavourable to support life.

But for Alex, changing the planet’s condition was nothing but an inconvenience.

"It will do," Cassandra nodded in satisfaction. "But is this okay? You said you’re not the ruler of the universe, right? Can you give this planet away?"

Alex chuckled at her question. "I may not be the one at the top, but I am the one at the top." He said. "And aside from hunters, people can’t live here."

"Makes sense." Cassandra nodded. "Do your magic and I’ll watch."

The catwoman wanted to see what else was different from before. She still remembered how Alex felt different from before and was looking forward to seeing what he could do.

"Oh, this won’t take long." Alex shook his head. Then his composure changed, the atmosphere around him becoming profound, something Cassandra didn’t miss.

’I was right,’ She reaffirmed her suspicion. However, what she expected Alex to do was not what he did. Instead of tapping into his laws to terraform the planet, Alex just spoke.

"Become sustainable, support life." Alex muttered and that was it.

For a moment, Cassandra was confused. However, under her shocked and surprised gaze, she watched as the planet’s atmosphere changed, continents and oceans came into existence.

Mountains, rivers, and everything that a life-supporting planet needed came into existence… including plants and animal life.

Life.

Cassandra was speechless. The terraformed planet she could accept. The way he brought the planet to support life she could somehow accept.

But to bring living organisms into existence? The realisation of what Alexander just did sent shivers down her spine.

The catwoman couldn’t help but look at Alex with wide eyes, her heart thumping loudly in her chest. The catwoman couldn’t calm down.

In her mind, something began to ring, and the more it resounded in her mind, the more convinced she was.

’A god…’

"Y-you just created life…" Cassandra asked dazely. "That’s impossible."

"Not really." Alex shrugged, completely understanding her state of mind. "You just began gasping laws, but there is a lot more you have to understand.

"What I did right now seems incredible, but that ends with only animal life. I’ll leave the rest to the universe."

"You’re mad," Cassandra stated. "You make all this appear so casual. And what you just did… that would make you a god in my universe. Heck, you’re basically a god now!"

"Maybe…" Alex smiled stiffly. "But if I can do it, so can you."

Cassandra however, had a hard time letting what she saw go. She knew they as Veilwalkers were broken existences, but she had never imagined that they could reach such a level.

"Come on." Alex gestured for her to follow her down. "I made a big mansion for you, equipped with all the latest tech you could imagine."

Left with no choice but to accept the reality of things, Cassandra followed behind Alex as they descended into the planet teeming with nature.

Cassandra spread her senses across the planet, investigating everything Alex did to it, further deepening her shock.

There was no difference between the animals and plants Alex casually created from existing ones. It was like what he did was just a normal diary routine for him.

’This is crazy,’ Cassandra mused. ’Are beings like ourselves supposed to have such power? What if some other being gained this kind of power? Would they be as calm as he is? Will I be as calm?’

The catwoman swallowed hard.

After spending some time exploring the planet, Alex led Cassandra to the estate he had built for her. The estate was huge, but not too huge to induce a sense of loneliness. Just big enough for someone like her.

"You can change whatever you want about the place once you deepen your understanding of fundamental principles," Alex said after they toured the entire place. "Also, I’ll be getting busy soon and will not be around for a day or two. No one will approach this place to bother you in any way."

"Thank you," Cassandra nodded, feeling grateful for all his help. Especially the things he showed her. It opened her eyes to many things she didn’t think was possible.

’I still limit myself. It’s time to shed that mortal shell and become like him.’ Her thoughts made her think about that Supreme Walker fellow. ’Maybe that being is already at his level and might even be stronger.’

"Just focus on yourself," Alex said suddenly, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Stop worrying about everyone else and focus on yourself."

"Fine." Cassandra sighed, now completely convinced Alex could read minds. "But you shouldn’t be reading people’s minds like that. It’s creepy."

"Of course," Alex chuckled. "But you have to protect your soul as well. What I did was not mind reading, but seeing the fluctuations in your soul and understanding them."

"Is there a difference?" The catwoman asked, curiosity in her tone. Alex had just revealed something else to her.

"Not really, but there is a bit of difference," Alex answered. "Our souls connect with our bodies through our mind. Thoughts are simply soul fluctuations revealing intents. So if your soul fluctuations are opened to someone who could read and understand them…"

"They are basically reading your thoughts." Cassandra completed.

"Exactly." Alex nodded. "To actually read your mind means to see beyond your surface thoughts. Thoughts you’ve had years ago, months ago or even secrets you keep hidden."

"I see…" Cassandra could understand his words, sort of. "In any case, thank you." She added with a sigh.

"Sure." Alex smiled. "See you in a few."

With that, Alex disappeared from the planet.
