The abyss spear thrust up into a confusing morass of impressions Luckily Randidly had a beacon for a target From the apparatus within the memory he homed right in on the grander modern Nexus mechanisms To that same structure that could gulp down another Cohort
He followed the line of sameness from one side of the superposition to the other
There were several long moments of worry RandidlyÆs headache intensified If the first touching of the mechanism shocked Randidly with the discharge of a new universe now the full fury of the Hierarchy of Burden slammed into his body seeking to break down and shred this existence that straddled through two existences albeit one that had always been tucked within another
His body burned He floated in a veritable sea of static discharge a burning copper storm of electric bolts surrounded by black wind
Yet Randidly had trained for this load His Hierarchy of Burden had toughened his body The pain only made the Songstress of Absence more furious the silent note rising and rising causing the air to shiver The edges of the spear solidified and sharpened as the weapon tore through space and time Looking up he tried to ignore the trickle of worries in his overstimulated brain
The other point of tension in RandidlyÆs mind was whether the workings of the Nexus would have changed in the intervening cohort Yet when the unerring pulse of superposition finally found its target Randidly breezed through a few superficial differences and settled across the same basic shape
Both were skewered along the elongated absence wielded by the Songstress His Fateset roared in his chest searing his Soulspace with its approval
His Nether Core trembled Stretched to a second location his First Authority scrambled for a grip Desperation became fingers to paw for a solid hold Time stretched out as Randidly tried to firm up the two sides And just before Pine pressed the weight of his Universe Soul to help the process Randidly clicked the full superposition into place He expanded the Songstress of Absence achieving two forms across the universes The image became a harpoon thrust through two different iterations of the Aether foundations of the Nexus pinning two disparate points into one whole
Superposition had been achieved and not a moment too soon

Pine shifted and pressed the pedal The Cohort creation piece began to tremble and move That force and motion were conveyed through the fabric of the Singularity of the Inhospitable Depths from one side of the superposition to the other Born of the same essence the Cohort Creation in the modern Nexus also began to move
In his chest his Fatepiece pulled all the wild conflagration of its euphoria into a tight fist It gathered itself preparing for the inevitable backlash
His skin stung slightly now submerged in a pool of plasma He could distantly feel the storm rising into a monstrous continent breaking fever pitch but those impressions felt so distant All his focus narrowed to pulling off this impossible trick
Randidly understood that making the memory real on his own would have been difficult He had a few of the elements necessary for the creation of true life but crossing the bridge from dream to reality still remained beyond his capabilities So he needed a little help in this case from the Soul of the remembered Pine and the power of the modern Nexus
With the little of the coordinate controls Randidly could sense he grasped out through the temporal barrier and turned the target in on itself to the collapsing Sonora Significance and Willpower drained out of Randidly more quickly than he would have believed possible He began to feed on his kinetic storm rapidly depleting the energy he had gathered to fuel the transition
The drive from the memory Pine moved through him ripping through the barrier between real and imagined The physical act of transitioning into a Cohort would be birth to the wish forged Nexus so that Randidly could bless the transition and hopefully add that extra something so the result would be real
As the wheel began to turn under the prodding from Pine Randidly narrowed his eyes and settled in to exist as the fulcrum on which all the alchemy turned
Chapter 2300
Actus Suprem Devick stood in the middle of the wide space in her glittering robes The orb in the middle of the chamber was horribly depressing looking at it would literally allow emotions to be sucked right out through your face She amused herself for a bit by thinking of people she hated and then feeling those memories slip away devoured by PineÆs corpseÆs ceaseless hunger
She liked to imagine that when the memories vanished the people themselves would vanish as well A wide smile broke out across her face However that glee quickly faded
First she couldnÆt remember who she didnÆt like
Second she was almost sure that if she had really not liked these fucks they would already be dead
And third it REALLY pissed her off that she could no longer remember whether she still had to kill these blurry annoyances or not
She bit her lip and sucked on her blood for a bit trying to keep her temper in check In the hollow chamber of this task the air cried rust colored tears in reaction to her powerful image From her feet a blood puddle began to stain the floor as her madness seeped out and corrupted the environment
With a great effort of will she drew herself back And when she returned to why she was here her eyes began to glitter
She couldnÆt remember being this excited not in the longest time Discovering Randidly Ghosthound as her child brought her a warm joy but this request made her bare teeth crusted with drying blood a monster sniffing a long craved meal Her eyes danced with anticipation You what an honor to be selected for this task Hehe no one can sew misbehaving organs back together quite like me And I can do whatever is necessary to obtain the pieces If they resist not that they will but if they do
It must be done The blurry projection of Elhume moved his head His voice boomed out to the distant cracked walls of the room The two were alone brought here so he could impart to her this task and give her the platform with which to accomplish it
Devick swirled her finger in the air Little fuzzy snakes of malice formed and devoured each other following her pointer finger Your lack of squeamishness is a sign of your ingenuity Leave this to
Devick perked up and whipped her head around peering through the edge of this secret room in the Nexus as a massive phenomenon rippled outward At first she thought that the Sonora finally finished its boringly slow collapse but this energy didnÆt seem to quite match that And her eyes widened when she sensed RandidlyÆs distinctive tang albeit with an altered flavor
What a studious boy always sticking your nose into the most unusual sort of perversions Pride surged in DevickÆs chest flecked an obsessive need to rip Randidly to shreds and understand the way he ticked
For now she suppressed the impulse She had other toys to play with
Handle this I will eliminate extraneous elements Elhume rumbled Then his projection faded leaving Devick alone in the chamber
DonÆt die on me Randidly Ghosthound Devick whispered Her mutant heart labored in her chest so close to being so stuffed with emotions that it tore right down the middle where it had been sewn together with bonemarrow thread and madness Because you know IÆll find your weak soul if you do And youÆll spend the rest of your sad consciousness regretting being such a disappointment Kekeh
Randidly bowed his head in acknowledgment toward the World Tree I couldnÆt do this without you Probably any of it

Though the haze of the temporal barrier Randidly felt the true Nexus mechanisms also shifting Because they would be accelerated in comparison the static tension sizzling through the Songstress was much worse coming from that direction But for now both moved with the memory Pine pushing for the process
