Deganawidah continued to regard Randidly with intensity The act did not simply destroy the Fatepiece but also ravaged its existence and its possibility The PhilosopherÆs Stone or the Tear of Allinne as it had been called could no longer be connected to him If Randidly tried to force the issue the connections would be shallow and surface level
All that he had been building toward suddenly began to sag Randidly hesitated the process being not as painful as he expected but a great deal more alarming
To live is to choose is to fail DeganawidahÆs eyes darkened gazing down at his own hands for several long seconds as Randidly struggled to regain his breath After a stretch of silence the hunched form seemed to come to a decision His eyes flicked sideways to Randidly The feud continues Nether King Hungry Eye between our two peoples None of our interactions now affect that Feet must always follow a Path even if it is not a Path Common beings run pointlessly in circles even while our debts have been settled But know this I will not be as forgiving if you disturb me again
Deganawidah the Thrice Drowned turned away and vanished his business accomplished All at once the ferocity of the Nether storm faded the clouds degenerating from a looming promise to just the possibility of an impending drizzle With their leaderÆs departure the Nether army began to turn around and march away in an organized retreat They didnÆt withdraw a far distance but just providing Randidly space
Randidly sank to his knees trembling His head spun and he felt oddly dizzy So much had been thrown at him too quickly Deganawidah truly had been the most casually powerful individual he had been able to observe close up His methods would help Randidly refine his own use of Nether for months Yet for now he had more pressing issues
Now Randidly felt the hot flames of rage licking up his throat from his stomach
Both my Class Randidly narrowed his eyes And MuseÆs Reverie Sealed away until I find a way to heal them Seriously fuck
Randidly glared up at the clouds his emotions simmering Yet he quickly clamped down on the vicious surge of energy channeling into more productive pursuits
He dove into his internal space and sensed the extent of the damage to his Class The resemblance he found there did not ease his grim mood The wound occurred for a very different reason but the effect was similar to being glanced at by Elhume all that time ago And afterward Randidly painstakingly gathered so much meaning in order to heal his Class Which would require time he didnÆt have especially if he wanted to follow his budding instincts regarding LowannaÆs ideas about rethinking Nether bonds
Even worse his Class had changed and evolved to suit his body the sort of materials required to patch up his Class were so much more rare than what had been sufficient the first time it made his head spin Hell at this point it would take him all of five minutes to generate energy and ideas of sufficient qualities to heal the first wound in his Class
The current him had incorporated so many more quality influences requiring both a powerful idea and a relevant history to ground the connection And if he didnÆt figure out how to fix this the looming threat of Elhume
Just as the first threads of anxiety began to push their way through the anger Randidly felt three slim hands touch his back Thoughts flowed into him steadying him
Congratulations Your Skill NyxÆs Successor Births Fate has grown to Level 1041
Success has always been such a fickle Path forward The Moirae of Minute Repercussions added It is almost a relief to be severed from it
Finally it was the Dove Moirae that spoke his voice as soft as feathers against the skin that made him truly believe this was possible Especially when you consider the sort of changes we want to make the sort of fundamental shifts we seek no agent of the System would ever consider them successes
A grand attempt we make on the same day we next encounter Deganawidah and his vast quantities of Nether The Moirae of Minute Repercussions sounded excited Borrow his strength An attempt of this nature will require prodigious amounts of resources The beginning of a more permanent GhosthoundÆs Deviation
He could see it the wild chaotic storm that it would be RandidlyÆs lip twitched imagining NeveahÆs reaction to the idea Wait and Level Up during a fighting you mean
In all things timing is critical Even the Pinnacle yes The Dove Moirae gave his assent to the other twoÆs plan Yet we need many aspects to be in our favor
More than aspects we need Weight The Apostate Moirae hissed Even in a predestined failure there must be mass Weight enough to dig and reinforce the foundation of the Class in one fell swoop Yet I think the timing is perfect so long as we are prepared within six days the opportunity will come Deganawidah might have settled his business with us but not with Fatia Cerulean
RandidlyÆs lip twitched Now that he had an idea of how to proceed the rest of his anxiety had left him Yet the MoiraeÆs jumped around too quickly You know I admire the theory but what sort of massive Alchemist attempt will we be making
We have IlliaÆs pattern With the proper improvements it will render the force of that ancient monster at our fingertips And once the energy is up for grabs The Moirae of Minute Repercussions licked his lips In response a pulse of certainty came from RandidlyÆs Nether Core His Second Authority the Hollow Needle buzzed in agreement
Randidly allowed his eyes to unfocus and his mind turned the idea over in several directions testing it for flaws Take advantage of the imperative left within him in a grand attempt Wait for Deganawidah to move against Fatia Cerulean Deploy IlliaÆs pattern those lovely whorls that disintegrated organized Nether and left the chaotic soup she had used to teleport through the air Make the attempt an alchemic experiment to great something from nothing figuratively generating a PhilosopherÆs Stone
Fail butting up against the way he had been broken Gather up all the energy the conflicting ripples between the forces and the chaotic wash from smashing against a natural law and use the Hollow Needle to weave all those broken shards into life within his Class
Randidly pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes This is reckless We will have so little time to accomplish what we are trying to do Moreover it is difficult to predict the effect incorporating so much foreign Nether would have on my Class
Temper it with Nether from the Alpha Cosmos It will act as a counterweight The Dove Moirae responded in a serene tone I have already consulted with Lucretia and the Pantheon has agreed to stage a special event a wild battle against well they will be condensed Nether Beasts born of the foreign Nether The greatest champions of Expira and the other worlds of the Alpha Cosmos will fight against them purifying the energy so you can focus your attentions elsewhere
Randidly blinked You can communicate with Lucretia
We are actually quite close The Dove Moirae said defensively
The Moirae of Minute Repercussions hummed in agreement The less you think about the particulars of how the different aspects inside of you interact the easier it is to just accept But if you want to hear my current theories
No one wants that The Apostate Moirae snorted But youÆll need Aether and images too Or at least kinetic force The people of Homewell will need to be involved The Lifeseal incorporating its elements would be a great boon
I sincerely doubt that Cerulean would consider danger to the town reason enough to move away Randidly gritted his teeth No he will remain and use it as a screen as best as he can And Charlotte Wick can be there stabilizing the situation And we we just need to decide what we will be attempting What transfiguration are we seeking Moiraes
IsnÆt there only just one The Apostate Moirae snorted We try to change the world
Chapter 2260
Randidly sat in darkness his knuckles pressed together in front of his navel He breathed he relaxed he allowed his consciousness to steadily drift apart
He had a problem to solve A whole slew of messy overlapping events to make neat
