Reincarnated In Testament Of New Devil

After deciding to complete the [Lord of Valkyries:SSS] quest by the end of this week, Basara gain laid down on th and d to take a nap. But a question sprung up in his mind as he immediately sat back up and asked 'Rose, I have a question for you. I think I've somewhat understood the system and it's functions. But I can't get my head around a few things. Could you explain them to me?'

[The sole purpose of the system is to support and guide you, Ethan. What are your questions? I will answer them to the best of my ability.]

'Thank you, Rose. Could you explain the concept of Soul Tier to me?'

[To understand what a Soul Tier is, you must first know what a soul is. The soul is the spiritual and immaterial part of every organism. It's also known as the 'Root'. Every living creature has a soul without exception. Suppose that if the body is like a computer, then the brain is the processor while the soul is the electricity on which the computer is running. When any living being dies, their soul leaves their body. A Soul Tier is the level or grade of a soul. As you already know, there are 20 Soul Tiers. These Soul Tiers also represent a capacity and strength. Depending on your Soul Tier, you can do things that others below your Soul Tier can't. Soul Tier is also directly related to a person's talent or potential. So when we say that a person has a high potential for magic or fighting, it usually means that either they are at the peak of their Soul Tier or their Soul Tier is above that of other people.]

'I understand that much. But what if a person's Soul Tier is higher than the Tier of the record itself.'

[Every record has a capacity. The capacity of this record did from Soul Tier 1 to Soul Tier 8. It can't accommodate any person of a higher Soul Tier. Your current Soul Tier is 8 and that is also the maximum capacity of this record. If you Soul Tier were to evolve to 9, then you would become too strong to be restricted by the record.]

'What do you mean?'

[Every record restricts it's residents by imposing a set of laws on them. The moment you entered this record, the same thing also happens to you. You are also currently restricted by the laws of this record. But the moment your Soul Tier exceeds the Tie rod the record itself, then the record would no longer the able to restrict you. You would also be too strong to exist in such a record, since it is weaker than you. As a result, your existence itself would become a threat to the record. Since the record doesn't have the capability to accommodate you, it will try to forcefully eject you. But since you are stronger, if you don't want to be ejected then the record couldn't hope to do so. As a result, the record will explode instead just due to your presence in the record.]

'Then does that mean I would never be able to return to this record once I go above Tier 8?' Basara asked with melancholy flooding his mind. This place was his home and all these people were his loves ones, family and friends. How could he just leave them? That's too harsh for someone like Basara who never had anyone to trust or love in his previous life.

[Don't worry, Ethan. You can visit this record in the future again if you wish to. Though I can't give you the answer myself due to my own lack of knowledge, I can tell you that nothing is impossible for you due to the presence of 'The Aether'. It has fused with your soul and it carried endless possibilities. You just need to have the conviction to return to this record in the future and you'll be able to find the answer by yourself.]

'Okay! But how come you aren't aware of a method?'

[I am not omniscient, Ethan. 'The Aether' is omniscient while the system is nothing more than a representative of 'The Aether'. My own knowledge comes from 'The Aether' and once it didn't provide me any information regarding this matter, I am unable to answer you.]

'Hmm. Anyway, let's take a nap for now. It's almost night time. I also have some work to do at night.' Basara again laid down in the bed and this time he closed his eyes and drifted off to a blissful sleep, unaware of the danger lurking in the shadows that he'll have to face in the near future. The tournament is also approaching nearer. And the end of everything, there are Jin and the Chief God.
