This time the poisonous and toxic Nether shot out in a concentrated jet Before Randidly could react he heard Acri screaming the energy had ripped its way through the connecting portion the multi tentacled thorny roots Instantly fury bloomed in RandidlyÆs chest
As the tail collapsed Randidly reached up with his right hand and plucked the spearhead out of the air He stepped his hips shoulder and elbow pivoting perfectly in the imitation of a major league baseball pitcher albeit with a spearhead the size of a childÆs desk Randidly moved with such fluidity that the Nether Monster couldnÆt even reach
And RandidlyÆs efforts were rewarded with a satisfying crunch as DeganawidahÆs torso snapped backward
More Nether billowed out of the wound Deganawidah gnashed his teeth You reckless child The First Drowning Black Undertow
A wave of force smashed into Randidly from every side a thousand complex pattern machinations all brought to bear on him at once The rib that popped earlier now fractured under this concentrated force Several other joints rapidly began to ache and groan
Trembling Randidly did something quite unusual he unleashed all the Nether he had managed to accumulate over the last half hour but not to resist the rigorous patterns of Deganawidah No after being thoroughly schooled in Nether patterns during their every encounter Randidly had learned that method wouldnÆt work So instead he set his Nether to assist DeganawidahÆs patterns in crushing his own body
The patterns in the immediate vicinity ground up against RandidlyÆs Nether briefly slowing The whole vice grip Deganawidah gummed up for a split second At the very least he hadnÆt expected Randidly to use his Nether quite like this
It wouldnÆt work again and it would only trip him up for a split second but that was enough
Randidly planted his foot and shot forward He raised his left hand allowing his dangerously explosive emotional sea to surge forward all at once The event horizon swelled larger and larger the Stillborn Phoenix howling its promised revenge
DeganawidahÆs significance mulched up all the ambient Nether Randidly had released but the Hungry Eye devoured a path to the target However right as Randidly reached up and toward DeganawidahÆs wounds to force the Stillborn Phoenix into his body the wide mouth moved Randidly could only see it through the edge of the event horizon light melting and running into the devouring maw
But he heard the words in his bones
The Third Drowning Bottomless Longing
Chapter 2294
Randidly looked Deganawidah in the eyes and felt the whole world shift around him As the old Nether monster activated his third ability he seemed to pull away the mask of crusted Nether that covered his whole existence The egg shaped body shuffled off its skin like a rattlesnake and revealed an ominously inscrutable depth of significance
A vast history of betrayal and pain washed in toward Randidly from every direction Waves of significance came so quickly and with so little distance between each that grey Nether Weight rubbed away the details of mundane existence and locked him in a dimly lit purgatory But despite the ominous shifts Randidly simply raised his head and laughed Perfect
The Stillborn PhoenixÆs heartbeats of silence began to come more frequently the growing image covetously stealing sound and movement from existence while it held its brief spurts of dominion That image power forced itself through the flaws that Randidly had created with Acri aiming to damage the interior of Deganawidah
Two battlefields emerged One inside of the Nether monsterÆs body with the Stillborn Phoenix howling and devouring all the complex Nether patterns blocking its path But to RandidlyÆs senses that process felt disturbing akin like going to a desert and trying to vacuum up sand The other battlefield occurred in RandidlyÆs body in his muscles bones and the image physicalizations as he hunched forward and sealed DeganawidahÆs wound with his presence He endured the whole of this Third Drowning so the Stillborn Phoenix could complete its own evolution
His eyes flickered in recognition Even now duality The amorphous form in the distance and the manifestation of the event horizon soon we will be able to see the face of the Stillborn Phoenix
The silent heartbeats quickened in excitement And to keep that hope pure Randidly suffered he felt knots form in his muscles as the sheer weight of all Deganawidah lived through began to tighten around him He gritted his teeth In comparison to this monster Randidly had only existed for a breath A single moment in a fluttering storm of time All the while Deganawidah endured growing and deepening his roots
DeityÆs Ruthless Cerebral Scope had plenty of opportunity to shine To the front the Stillborn Phoenix quickly set up the two locations of the superposition the event horizon based in SulfurÆs palm and right outside the Nether Core of Deganawidah It flared its gravitational powers to fold space and bring those two locations together although nothing but willpower bridged them

Heavy waves of grey energy raked across RandidlyÆs back but he ignored them As the first line of defense the Dread Homunculus sat with a billowing cloak of night around his shoulders He pointed and the ground rumbled Dozens of golden roots exploded and cut into the advancing tides of memory and when the roots moves the groaning phantasms of hell sculpted into a parody of a tree followed with twitching movements a half second later Two trees scythed through the endless pressure of the memories one brilliant and generous the other haunted and skeletal They moved in an eternal dance Yggdrasil leading and its specter of a partner following
Aether and Nether crashed and grappled The force of the impacts created small tears in existence around the two opponents Both refused to concede Roots and waves of dense memories smashed into each other over and over again Randidly rapidly felt a headache starting to build as he maintained the effort The impacts between Nether and his images hummed up through his body squeezing his internal organs
He tried his best not to concern himself with any details but the next exchange Because in every direction as far as he could see grey waves of memory and significance surged closer Fucking bottomless indeed
Deganawidah and Randidly were so close they felt each otherÆs breath Deganawidah shook his head just slightly You will be paste soon You and all your dreams ground away to nothing I can maintain this for as long as necessary And when you are dust That raptor construct will suffer the same fate
Honesty keeping Cerulean alive is just an unpleasant practicality Randidly saw no reason to lie now that they were in this energy death spiral of an embrace Besides he felt a guilty sort of pleasure imagining the blue energy being slaughtered If you kill him his army probably retreats Homewell falls And I need Homewell intact for what I plan later
Will a coward like that not use this opportunity to retreat Deganawidah spoke mildly but the intensity of his Nether attacks increased Every moment of struggle and pain in DeganawidahÆs life became a cudgel hammering at RandidlyÆs psyche trying to shatter his consciousness The Stillborn Phoenix howled forward making use of th opportunity but didnÆt appear to accomplish much Your recklessness has made you blind to realities

The waves came faster and faster Instinctively Randidly pulled back his lips to show his teeth The pain seemed out through his core a fire lit in his brainstem due to the effort of maintaining the activation of all three images at such a high level for so long Yet Randidly found the spare focus to smile at the massive features of Deganawidah The Stillborn Phoenix sang of the imminent reversal Do you feel it
