"I understand. I won't force it if it's not yet the time for me to know." Raven replied. "Would you happen to know the reason why I experience enlightenment for a month?"
"Ah that?" Astrid smiled and said: "That was somewhat my fault."
"How so?"
"I remember telling you that I woke due to your enlightenment about Destruction Laws right?" Raven nodded in confirmation, Astrid then continued, "The reason why you unconscious for that long because my soul was unconsciously taking advantage of your enlightenment to repair itself. I practiced Destruction Laws for a very long time, so long that it already embedded itself to my whole existence and allow me to recover."
"You weren't exactly being enlightened about Destruction Laws for a month straight. Instead, you were being stopped somewhat through force by my soul and would instead absorb the Laws that are being attracted to you, after my soul absorbed some, your enlightenment continues and it became a cycle for a whole month. But don't worry, you aren't in any danger nor you're lacking in Foundational Law Comprehension."
Raven sighed in relief, he got a little nervous at first but thankfully he didn't experience any kind of stagnation during his enlightenment.
"Then how about what happened to me prior to being enlightened?" Raven asked: "I never heard anything about someone going berserk during their enlightenment."
"It's all because of the Law you got enlightenment from." Astrid answered, "Destruction, though it sounds ominous, is a part of the cycle - a mean to one's end. Anything that exist will eventually be Destroyed."
"Unlike the ever so present Elements like Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning, and etc. Destruction refers to the process, which means that it doesn't have any kind of concrete manifestation. Destruction is an act of destroying something, and since you got enlightenment from it, it's natural for you to be affected by it's attitude per se. What happened to you prior to you enlightenment happened to me as well, and trust me - you did well on suppressing that urge. If not, then who could tell just how much destruction you would cause?"
Raven started sweating nervously as he listened to her. He had been really lucky that he managed to shut down himself before he started to rampage everywhere. He couldn't even begin to imagine how he would feel, waking up to know that he had become a criminal to his own people.
"Is there a chance of it happening again?" Raven asked, silently bracing himself for her response.
Astrid thought for a bit and said: "There is, but the possibility of that happening is extremely low. It will only happen if you somehow managed to comprehend things way too fast that your cultivation base couldn't handle it and your will becomes eroded. But I trust that you will be careful about how you approach this so it's nigh impossible for it to happen to you."
Raven sighed in relief after hearing that, but still he etched her words on to his heart. He made sure to remember her words just so that he wouldn't get careless.
"Now then, I think it's time for you to continue training." Astrid stood up and started walking away, "I suggest you test your limits first before facing any opponents. Remember that you cannot die while you're inside this place, you should know what that means."
Raven's eyes lit up and nodded to her, he expressed his thanks but Astrid reminded him of another important matter.
"Also, you're connection with the Ancestral Divine Crown just reached a higher level. The time difference between here and the real world had been changed. 8 hours outside would be two days here, so don't be in a rush."
Raven became even more ecstatic when he heard that. His mind wandered off somewhere due to that news that he didn't even notice that Astrid already disappeared.
"Train well, Young Candidate. We will be watching you." This was her last words before she returned to her slumbering zone somewhere inside the Crown Palace.

"Nope, not right. Let's do that again."
Raven muttered as he tried grasping the feeling using his body.
It's been hours since he began testing where his limits lies inside the Crown Space. For this, he decided to retreat back to the area where there's less of that suppressive force, just so that he could train in peace for now.
In his training, Raven had been testing just how well he could control his laws. The idea he had is that, in order for him to figure out how to control it, he had to let it run wild firstly
Due to him getting enlightenment from Destruction Laws, he would remain unharmed by this destructive power, however the same couldn't be said to those around him.
The first time he freed it, a strange power well up to his whole body. All Raven did was breathe and stand on the spot but he could already see that everything he touched was being destroyed by his laws. Several white lines which awfully look a lot like rifts or mirror cracks, started spreading out from his body. Wherever this lines went, is where the destruction spreads.
Beneath him, the ground slowly shattered. Causing him to adjust his footing again and again. From what he could observe, after the lines travelled from the soles of his feet to the ground, it will take at least a good second before it breaks and fly everywhere.
These lines were also spreading out from his limbs and even his sides. Raven did nothing to control them first as he, like what was established earlier, was testing his limits.
He noticed that the lines will spread for no more than meter away from his body, he assumed that whatever these lines touched will be destroyed. He didn't know whether this was good thing or not but frankly, he didn't care. He also didn't know the list of things he could destroy using this power for now, but that's the part of his training later on. His Destruction Laws is fueled by his Chaos Force, in this he was no different from the rest who had their laws fueled by energy. Raven maintained this state for a solid thirty minutes before starting to feel out of breath.
He deactivated it for a moment and inspected the destruction on the ground. For the most part, the chunks of rocks weren't uniform in size, some where big chunks while others are relatively smaller. This displayed the unruliness of this Law and its sheer aggressive nature. Something that Raven has to deal with before it hurts his teammates in the future.
After seeing where his limits are, Raven then started to think of some simple exercises to introduce some sense of order at this chaotic power. His thought process was simple, he wanted to control where he was release this destructive nature first.
Which brings him to his current situation. He was trying to release his Destruction Laws using his hands first.
His previous attempts were failures, but after doing it over and over again he eventually managed to get the hang of it. After an hour of ceaseless attempts, he could now release the power of his Laws using his palms, a fantastic start if one asked.
After successfully achieving that level, he then focused on releasing it using his soles only. He kept on doing things one step at a time and eventually, after the first day inside the Crown Space, he managed to achieve the basic level of control over his laws. Now he didn't have to be afraid of touching anyone since he could now release it on his will.
He rested for a bit and after he recovered, he continued his training.
Raven had many ideas in mind, being blessed by Laws offers him many ways on how to apply it in certain situations. Ideas like, creating an Energy Shield that's composed of Destruction Laws, using Tremorsense laced with it, covering his fist with concentrated law force and etc. Are just examples of it.
But he didn't want to get carried away so instead, he decided to do some exercises with his Laws of course. Although is sounds like a weird idea, it somehow made sense for him.
For example, as he was doing push up, he will release a destructive force at every other count causing the ground beneath him to break again and again. What he achieved by doing this is allow him to mobilize his laws to act as soon as he wanted it to, almost like an instinct per se. Another one is by constantly breaking the ground beneath him, he was allowing himself to get used to the effects of his laws which in turn won't be a distraction anymore during a fight, allowing his reaction time to remain unhindered.
And thus, Raven continued using weird and creative ways to train himself and put control over his Laws until his time limit inside the Crown Space eventually arrived and he was forced out.
All in all, it took him a total of two days in order to get a basic control over an unruly Law. This result already not bad in Raven's book.
