You are a sociopath Nether King Hungry Eye The Prophet said primly folding its fat fingers together in front of it Yet the eye bulged and its two mouths appeared to be resisting the urge to smile There was a noticeable glee radiating out of its person Perhaps he enjoyed Elhume being put in his place Which I suppose shouldnÆt come as a surprise You informed us the entire time didnÆt you You are a Nether King
Err pardon the intrusion The Patron of the Deep spoke up back by the hole Randidly had blasted to enter the chamber Yet his eyes remained fixed on the blood which had soaked into the clay body leaving not even a trace of it behind Antagonism and dramatic entrances aside I do hope you would consider lending your aid to fix the receptacle of new life actually why have you intervened Hungry Eye Elhume
The Origin Beast stopped eyes bulging as though the name carried with it the memory of the attack and it lodged itself in his throat while passing through Across on the other side of the room the Patron of the Borrowed cast around a nervous eye holding Elhume For his part Elhume remained still his image continuing to contract from the impact That sensation of the void crackled around him dense layers of static resembling the pins of a hedgehog Yet to RandidlyÆs relief the Vulpine twisted his mouth and carried Elhume out of the room
Whatever Elhume built toward at the moment it wouldnÆt matter for a bit And what came next was relatively delicate
Randidly took another glance at the Prophet who seemed to be measuring him with that same inexplicable fervor Based on the ProphetÆs continued confidence all the pieces were in place he was ready to create his PhilosopherÆs Stone
He spared a glance for his Nether Core measuring the significance within Gonna be a rough one from the start Hope you are prepared We wonÆt have much of a break even between attempts Not enough time
With an impatient growl Randidly gestured and ripped out all of the processes the philosophies the possibilities the potential that Elhume had poured into the clay body Almost immediately the skin began to blister and the deterioration worsened Padraic yelped and began drawing sigils in the air attempting to stabilize the now hollow form
The howling tempest of wind and energy worsened The Figures of the Prophet Padraic and the Patron of the Borrowed all blurred and flickered distorted as the environment became increasingly alien
Clicking his tongue Randidly pulled all that pilfered power and pressed it into the top of the half pearl The Engravings began to glow animated beyond simply producing light but beginning to warp underneath all the new influences being added
Randidly looked once more at the meager layer of significance around his Nether Core and winced Well itÆs not like there is any choice Advance The Second Authority Intangible Needle
His body seized briefly his Nether Core straining to keep up with his demands Yet Randidly gritted his teeth plucked the innocuous looking bone needle from the air and then began to sew all separate pieces together to create a ramshackle ladder to the boundary of the impossible
The small end of his funnel apparatus to the pearl the defenses and energy stabilization formations on the ground to the pearl to ground it further the Nether Ritual with its secret prayer all woven through the entire thing Then Randidly took the misbehaving Cleansing Net of the Cult of the Savior and wove it into the middle portion of the funnel
The Cleansing Net seemed confused by this development pausing in its destructive rampage to consider its circumstances Which gave Randidly just enough time to run through his mental checklist
Nathan had handled the vagueness problem All Randidly needed to do was provide the library and he will have created a threshold of infinite paths He smiled the nerves still there but now his heartbeat strengthened the march of his reckless excitement
Just as the Cleansing Net decided that this environment too should be seared out of existence Randidly sucked in a breath and reached through his Nether Core He found that seed that connection to the strange sea filled with the horrifying statues eternalized shapes seeking to spread their influence With a few quick movements of the Intangible Needle he sewed the wide portion of the funnel to that opening Then he acted the funnel and began to pull

For a second nothing happened Then a thousand threads of meaning erupted from the opening happy to be liberated from the stillness of their stasis in the strange sea The Cleansing Net caught them all horrified and then furious at the sudden arrivals setting about to burn away all of these interlopersÆ resistance
In the next moment the number of shapes forcing their way through his Nether Core doubled RandidlyÆs face twisted in pain A few seconds later that doubling happened against more and more shapes flowing through into the world through Randidly until they all became a solid stampede uncountably numerous He felt the ground begin to shudder as the defense system tied to this base shifted into an even higher gear
Randidly had to force his eyes closed lest he would be blinded by the light bristling in the middle of his funnel Against the pressure of RandidlyÆs Authority it had been powerful Yet now it drew on something deeper perhaps even a fraction of the true light of El Kedec It seared and seared able to destroy almost all of the shapes as they passed through
As Neveah had pointed out several days ago the entirety of RandidlyÆs plan for today was based on a series of assumptions Assumptions so varied and lacking in observable proof it was difficult to judge which was going to be the most incorrect
But at this first leap at least Randidly had been right
Remnants of the shape drifted forward through the net burned and scorched until the insidious intelligence driving them from that strange sea had been depleted Randidly happily pulled the hollowed out shapes and fed them into the pearl His emerald eyes blazed reflecting the rising light of the PhilosopherÆs Stone he began to create

But this is just the beginning Randidly scanned the Pearl Gonna need a lot more shapes than that
Chapter 2283
After the first thrill of triumph realizing that the process would work came the slog of seeing it through to completion This as it turned out Randidly had vastly underestimated After only a minute his attention frayed and blood began to drip out of his nose

Randidly shoved away the notifications his mind already threatening to split underneath the onslaught of strain He slipped naturally into the mode of his Dread Homunculus image designed to handle these situations of infinite details but even then he had to continue into a pseudo Visage of Obsession state and shunt off all his distractions to stay afloat
His consciousness flicked up and down back and forth in the area of the funnel behind the blazing net He plucked up the cleansed shapes and fed them into the pearl The ones with lingering impulses he didnÆt like the look of he tossed back into the net
Dimly he could feel waves of fire radiating out from his body a remnant of the cataclysmic struggle between the shapes Randidly invited into the Nexus and the Cleansing Net Steam came out from his ears To his immense relief the defensive barrier around the pearl held through those first thirty seconds The horrid force and greed of the new arrivals burned away leaving only a growing number of possibilities which Randidly fed into the pearl
