A dark comet releasing waves of iron dust rushed down through the sudden opening and shattered the ground only ten meters away from CeruleanÆs position With absolute poise Deganawidah himself straightened from the impact point His eyes blazed as he scanned the surrounding soldiers and focused on Cerulean

You would have done well to come to me for this lesson Deganawidah rumbled

Randidly had been biting his lip so hard it bled for so long that Yggdrasil actually complained because it had to divert a noticeable portion of energy to heal the wound/ prevent the lip from healing around his teeth

He forced himself to relax But that was just one task on a mountain of others

Congratulations Your Skill Conviction of the Celestial Cataclysm has grown to Level 1052

Randidly maintained the array supporting the pearl He kept his body flush with Nether heavily lashing out at any animated shapes that tried to escape the confines of the funnel He fed focus and emotional force into the Stillborn Phoenix so it could handle half of the cleansing duty despite the fact that RandidlyÆs reserves were running dangerously low He supported his other images through NeveahÆs consciousness allowing her to maintain the storm of kinetic force in the room He plucked the cleansed shapes spat out of the tight end of the funnel now sometimes using the Dread Homunculus and the Cloak of Utter Night to smother small bits of remnant consciousness that survived the cleansing and fit them into the pearl

Congratulations Your Skill Conviction of the Celestial Cataclysm has grown to Level 1054

He watched the pearl unable to blink staring directly into its blazing radiance mentally calculating its limits

He did his best not to consider his own

Congratulations Your Skill Conviction of the Celestial Cataclysm has grown to Level 1059

Yggdrasil eased up its grip on the wide part of the funnel The shapes paused realizing they could escape behind them and did so the last hundreds of pieces that Randidly needed

And as they tried to reverse their course the hammer of his kinetic storm smashed them to bits stripping them of their dangerous parts leaving them gleaming and pure All the energy he had gathered over the past hour seared its way forward an irresistible river that the dense shapes might have resisted collectively but they had no chance of enduring as a rabble

In one massive collapse with the corridor of energy held steady by Yggdrasil Randidly eliminated at least one of the more dangerous variables with the same chaotic discharge they had created in their arrival

Randidly felt almost entirely empty as the furious squalls began to fade numb from the constant struggle that now left him struck with a near overwhelming desire to simply collapse His vision swam and his limbs felt immobile Yet he gritted his teeth and activated the ever reliable Yggdrasil The World Tree Sips from Every Realm

Congratulations Your Skill the World Tree Sips from Every Realm has grown to Level 1030

This Skill Randidly aimed downward at the diminished remnants of the Cleansing Net and the rest of the defensive fortifications around the Cult of the SaviorÆs base A rush of energy flooded his body so he took an even deeper pull His world had narrowed to just his hands and the working and the pearl but now the blurry backdrop came into slight focus

Randidly couldnÆt help but notice that a strange image signature began to rise from the depths of the CultÆs base now that the defenses had been almost completely put offline He wished this stranger good luck and the good sense not to fuck with him right now

His jaw worked clarity returned by the vicious headache he had earned lingering and making prolonged concentration agony With a grunt he waved a hand The unused kinetic energy pulled itself together into a storm of energy once more going to support the sweating Padraic His Nether Core revved struggling to replace the significance he had spent so freely over the past few minutes

Cracking his neck Randidly began to insert the last wave of shapes into the pearl

Warning Results will be unpredictable Although the Rarity will be boosted there is a minute chance the value of the target will be diminished

This time Randidly at least scanned through the notification A smile hovered across his lips as he saw the efforts of the Pantheon He might not interact directly with them very often but they were more than his subordinates they were him They formed the structure of his Alpha Cosmos Thanks guys I couldnÆt do this without you

However Randidly didnÆt miss the point of the first portion of the notification As far as the System was concerned he could do no more with the Pearl Which of course made Randidly Ghosthound grin like a wolf

Shape by shape he pushed it further His emerald eyes glittered in the light reflected from the dancing Engravings across its surface Both limbs blurred scything through the hundreds of shapes by the dozen Each split second saw more complexity of that shifting maze increase He reached his impression of 99% and kept going with each careful placement

Chapter 2285

RandidlyÆs chest felt like it was on fire His brain had heated to the point it felt almost cold numbing all his awareness A slight tremor had taken up residence in his hand

Yet he refused to stop

With twenty five shapes remaining until Randidly believed he would complete his Class PhilosopherÆs Stone the assembly became almost impossible He simply could not find any room to stuff the shapes into pearl without shattering it to pieces despite the fact that his instincts told him it could be done

Yet he had survived thus far by relying on his instincts He focused His impression of time slowed His headache hammered at him with heavier and heavier mallets The numbness spread He ignored it and continued to work

The first thing he did to find additional space was pull out the Codex Hexahedron and scan the pearl That came with painful hooks digging into his brainstem but he did immediately find above five more locations for the shapes

The inner space of the pearl fluttered like the wind playing with the pages of a pop up book As the display shifted Randidly saw into the rapid expansion of houses tunnels possibilities shapes truths and then those same thoroughfares of meaning fold back on themselves and close to reveal others

Those tantalizing hints he had sensed were so close to coalescing into substance

Yet no matter how he searched he could find no other possibilities Distantly he felt PadraicÆs concern rapidly edging toward panic He did not have an infinite time limit on this NeveahÆs consciousness brushed against his reassuring him she would monitor the clay body of humanity He needed his entire being focused on this
