After expressing his intentions to deliver upon his end of the deal finally, Kahn asked Miyamoto Musashi about what kind of man the current Hero of Space was.
"The present one is the 10th Hero of Space. He is older than you just by 3 years.
Compared to his predecessors, those who came after me, he has a strong sense of duty and his willpower to carry out justice is one of the best I've seen.
In a way, his discipline and hard work reminded me of myself when I was young.
However, not every obstacle can be overcome just by hard work or sheer willpower. Some of them require talent and a free outlook on the world as well, similar to how you have." revealed the sword saint.
"You are not bound by a certain sense of ideology, morality, or tradition. You're not even a religious man despite being a literal representative of a God.
You have no problem acknowledging the differences of opinions, customs, lifestyles, and even a sense of justice. You are much open-minded in that sense." he iterated, pointing out the difference between Kahn and the Hero of Space.
Kahn's ears perked up and with an investigative tone, he asked…
"Then what about the Hero of Space? Why didn't you teach him your swordsmanship skills just like you taught me and Omega?"
To his query, the Ancestor Emperor of the Empire of Space responded…
"Because no one can use them without meeting certain criteria such as advancements in Spce Law or having unlocked a particular class as a samurai warrior.
Take you for example, you already achieved the 3rd Enlightenment in the Spce law before I even heard about your existence. All that by just reading books from someone who studied them for centuries and without even having a proper mentor.
My other disciple, Omega… he already had the Dual Swords Samurai class unlocked, making him a perfect candidate for me to pass down my teachings of Niten Ichi-ryū." iterated the sword saint.
Kahn nodded in agreement. Although Kahn's first three achievements were significantly influenced by certain factors, such as the invaluable books and research material left by Solomon Elfenheim; the elf semi-saint he encountered in Flavot City, who had also dedicated his studies to the Space Law—it was not merely external aids that facilitated his success.
By delving into Solomon Elfenheim's extensive collection, Kahn gained his first two enlightenments in Space Law almost effortlessly. This profound library provided a strong foundation, allowing Kahn to build his knowledge and understanding rapidly.
Furthermore, Kahn achieved his third enlightenment with the aid of the Linchipin of the Multiverse, a remarkable realm housed within the Tablet of Arcana. This mystical realm offered unique insights and perspectives that were crucial in advancing Kahn's comprehension of the Space Law.
However, it is important to acknowledge that his achievements were not solely due to these external resources.
Kahn's open-mindedness and willingness to explore the world played a pivotal role in his success. His broad perspective allowed him to absorb and integrate diverse knowledge and wisdom, which was essential in reaching such profound levels of enlightenment.
Kahn's intellectual curiosity and adaptability enabled him to transcend the limitations that many others faced, highlighting the importance of a receptive and expansive mindset in the pursuit of knowledge and mastery.
Soon, Miyamoto Musashi spoke with a thoughtful voice…
"In his original world, the country he inhabited bore a striking resemblance to the current Erdve Empire, and even to Japan during the Sengoku era on Earth. The societal structures, cultural norms, and political intricacies mirrored these historic and fantastical realms, creating a familiar yet unique environment.
One significant difference between his world and ours was the presence of noble bloodlines blessed by the Kami (Gods). These divine blessings endowed them with unique powers once they reached a certain age, powers that were intrinsically tied to their innate affinities with specific elements of nature. These affinities manifested in the form of Divine Spirits, which could appear as various animals, monsters, and sometimes even as Demons.
Among the ruling authorities under the Shogun... each noble clan was associated with different elements, and the successors of these clans were destined to form contracts with the Divine Spirits upon assuming the role of the clan leader." elaborated the sword saint.
Miyamoto Musashi then continued in a composed tone… "The Shogun's bloodline, on the other hand, possessed a unique and unparalleled power. Unlike other clans, they had the ability to contract with not just one, but a total of five of the strongest Divine Spirits, rendering them far superior and stronger than any other noble families.
Our Hero of Space was born into this illustrious lineage, destined to be the next Shogun in his world. However, his path was fraught with tragedy and challenge. When he was just seven years old, his father—who could only contract with three Divine Spirits due to failing to gain the acknowledgment of the latter two most powerful spirits—was assassinated. This treacherous act was orchestrated by his own Daimyos (Feudal Lords), who betrayed him.
In the ensuing chaos, many members of his clan and family sacrificed their lives to ensure his escape from the massacre. The young heir was forced into hiding, where he spent decades training under the Shogun's loyal Hatamotos (Guardians of the Flag/Bannermen). These dedicated warriors honed his skills and prepared him for the arduous journey ahead.
At the age of 25, driven by a burning desire for vengeance after witnessing the slaughter of his entire family and clan, our Hero of Space returned. By then, he had achieved what his father could not: he gained the acknowledgment and formed contracts with all the ancestral Divine Spirits. Furthermore, he subdued two Demonic Spirits, thereby wielding the powers of seven such beings—surpassing all his ancestors in power and might.
Armed with this formidable strength, he embarked on a mission to reclaim his birthright. He systematically eliminated the traitor clans, exacting justice for the betrayal that had decimated his family. Finally, his journey for vengeance marked a turning point for his country; he became the Shogun, liberating his land from oppression and unifying it under one rule for the betterment of all." cited the 6th Hero of Space, recounting the current Hero of Space's life story.
"So you mean to tell me…"
Kahn's expression on the other side, was simply stifled as he spoke with a baffled voice.
"The Hero of Space is the goddamn Main Character?!"
