System vs Rebirth

A moment earlier.

While Noel was meditating, Ardagan actually called him back to the white space.

"This is…" Noel was quite surprised that he was back here again after that long conversation with Heisk.

However, his doubt soon disappeared when Ardagan was floating right in front of him.

"Ardagan… Are you the one calling me here?" Noel asked while looking around, not finding Heisk.

"Yes. I'm here for one last discussion about the Spirit Link."

Noel remained silent, fully knowing that they didn't have much time left.

Ardagan continued, "My Spirit Link is different from Heisk for one big reason. If her Spirit Link allows you to measure temperature as well as heighten your sense of Spiritual Energy, my Spirit Link allows you to fully utilize my fire. Do you know my fire?"

"Yes, Undying Fire."

"What do you think about its origin?"

"If I'm not wrong, it's the element you received from the Spirit God when he created you."

"That's not the entire story. It's true that this Undying Fire is something that I receive from the Spirit God, but this is actually a part of the Spirit God's element."

"What?" Noel widened his eyes. But when he thought about it, it made a lot of sense. The fact that Ardagan received a part of the Spirit God's power explained how Ardagan knew a lot of things about spirits as well as his connection with the Spirit God.

"The Undying Fire's original name is Absolute Flame." Ardagan paused for a moment. "Do you know what it means by absolute?"

Noel had a few answers, but because he was unsure, it was better not to interrupt Ardagan and waste their precious time.

"It means normal can't hold a candle. In the presence of absolute flame, all fire shall kneel."

"!!!" Noel shivered from the words alone. His confident and overbearing tone made him feel like he was being oppressed by that 'absolute.'

"And a part of that absolute flame is concealed within me for one reason. The Absolute Fire is one of the Spirit God's powers, meaning that it will follow him anywhere. That's why he sealed a portion of that power within me, so that it can be used anywhere, anytime. Thus, comes the name Undying Fire.
