Comprehensions
Needless to say, Christopher completely mopped the floor with the cohort.
It wasn't really surprising to be honest, other than the fact that they literally couldn't hurt him, there was his plethora of new abilities that also made the battle completely unfair and one-sided the moment Christopher decided to actually try.
The thing that caught his attention the most was his new set of abilities that came with being a 4th Dimensional entity.
The way he interacted with the fabric of space and time was fundamentally different from the others and as such, he could manipulate it to his advantage in very strange ways.
It was completely different from simply using spatial magic as not only did it not require any sort of energy, but it was also far more flexible in its use.
For instance, the thing that stopped people that could manipulate space from simply making their opponents from folding in on themselves was because living beings are bound by a highly intricate spatial "blueprint" that is extremely difficult to modify. Space manipulators can fold simple objects or homogeneous materials easily, but the complexity of living organisms (due to organs, cells, and molecular structures) makes them resistant to such folding.
In short, it's complicated.
That said though a capable enough space user, someone like Kim for example, would have no problems overcoming such an issue. Though it went without saying that the stronger the opponent, the harder it would be to pull off something like that.
However, Christopher with how he was now simply did not care.
The way he interacted with 3d beings was so vast that it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he could do whatever he wanted with them.
From what he was able to tell, he would have no problems simply snatching the hearts of any of the members of the cohort and be done with it, though he wouldn't do that for obvious reasons.
He could displace limbs, distort their physical attributes. In fact, if he wanted to, he could deal soul damage to them.
Yes, due to having transcended And becoming 4th Dimensional, Christopher could observe the souls of other living beings and affect them to an extent. An extent because he notice that when he tried, there was a certain resistance that made it difficult for him to simply reach forward and grab someone's soul and break it.
He wasn't clear on the reason why, but he decided to look into it later.
Then there was also how he interacted with time as well.
For 3rd Dimensional beings, Time moved linearly. And They were bound by his flow.
The same... could be applied to Christopher, but in am odd way.
When he looked at his subordinates, he could somewhat male out what they had done, what they were doing, and what they were going to do at the same time. Meaning that he coukd observe their past, present, and future at the same time. However it was only good enough for a few seconds.
It was how a 3d being could observe everything a 2dbeing was doing all at once, the same applied to how he saw them.
However, he noticed that despite that, he still followed the... or at the very least, A natural flow of time. Meaning he couldn't just jump into the past or the future and do whatever it is that he wanted.
'I see. So it's not about forcing it. It's a belief. I'm imposing my will on reality, and am thus shaping it to fit my will. And so when I cut off Kim's connection to her affinities, I simply believed that she could no longer access them, and that became reality. Because that was my will.' When he had that realisation, he felt as though he had reached some sort of precipice.
It was hard to explain, but everything became...clearer.
It was subtle, yet all encompassing. His perception became more detailed and he bacem more... aware of everything. It was hard to explain,but Christopher felt like he had done something significant albeit subtle.
Now he was curious again.
Just how all encompassing was his will? What was the limit? How potent was it when he used it against other Apex ranked beings? How draining was it? Could it be defended against easily? Are there other beings that have similar abilities?
There were lots of questions and many things for him to test.
'Another thing to add to my long list of stuff I need to do.' He sighed. He imagined that this period would be his period of reprieve before he got busy again. But he was already busy just exploring his abilities.
'One step at a time.' He took a breath and let his body relax. Thinking of everything at once would do him no good. It was best to do what he could at his own pace.
'And speaking of.' He rubbed his chin.
There was another matter that had been pending for quite a while. And he decided that he should address it before anything else.

He teleported out of the training room and reappeared in another place. Specifically, it was a special forge, the same one he'd used to craft items for his subordinates in the past.
Though it was naturally far more expensive with more state of the art equipment after the enhancements it had received. In short, it was better.
Christopher casually walked to one of the workbenches inside the room and placed his hand on it, and then with a thought, several Shards appeared on the table.
Each one was vibrant and gave off a powerful Aura. And they all seemed connected to one another. This was made even clear when the Shards tried to attach to one another, but were stopped by an unseen force.
When Christopher destroyed the Void's avatar, he was surprised when the Legend Sword didn't get destroyed alongside it. And was instead shattered as it had been in the past.
He collected the Shards and allowed them to be upgraded along with his Dimension, but he hadn't really done anything with them yet.
This was because he didn't exactly need a new weapon. He already had Scarlet and Norn. And after the fight it was clear which of the weapons were superior. Plus the Legend Sword was a longsword. Though he wouldn't be surprised if it could change shape, and evening it couldn't, the wealth of combat styles he possessed would allow him to wield it effectively.
But again, he didn't really need to.
So he had kind of left it on the shelf. Though he knew he was going to have to address the issue sooner or later.
"What am I gonna do with you?" He mumbled.
