A chimera was born of the three images It ripped down with vicious claws targeting not MaeÆs body but the wound in the world state image DevickÆs act of faith had inserted a little bit of uncertainty into the opposing image and Randidly could grip that flaw and pry everything open
DevickÆs image sank into MaeÆs body The replicating nature of the world state image the same reason it possessed such power meant that the added flaw quickly exploded outward from just the Patron of TruthÆs body and infested the whole of her surroundings All the restrictions the image had impressed on the surroundings began to weaken RandidlyÆs temporal accelerations began to push back the breaks
At the same time Mae pressed her lips together Power gathered in her clenched fists You have no idea what you have done
IÆve been undeniable Devick smirked her cheeks flushed and her eyes triumphant
Before Mae could smash DevickÆs head into paste Yggdrasil shrugged the roots that had buried beneath the fabric of reality to establish itself here The layers left by the world state image flaked and cracked DevickÆs capriciousness added variation to the world state image which led to weakness Mae would be able to purify it with some time and effort but Randidly had no intention of giving that to her now
A root encircled DevickÆs waist and pulled her away from a counterattack Mae took a half step forward and then mastered her fury She reached out and grabbed the Monarch of Karma Randidly opened his mouth and released a booming voice Monarch of Karma Now that the image has been broken what is it you desire
To die He said His voice was painfully clear
Randidly felt a chill honestly he hadnÆt expected such a direct response He looked to Mae Myrna but she met him with a burning gaze that didnÆt back down Is that such a strange desire We as the population of this twisted world isnÆt that what we deserve To be consigned to oblivion
She turned away Randidly felt a sinking feeling in his stomach Have my actions really put her on such a dark path
In ElhumeÆs eyes were nothing but the brush of what he could be The first stirrings of that perfection that captured an entire moment The resonance between Elhume and Fiero grew stronger Metaphorically a door opened Through that threshold Randidly could feel the powerful stirrings of the energy he had sought to reinvigorate his Class and regain the use of his Attribute MuseÆs Reverie
But all that was for later For now Elhume punched and the memory shuddered
They hadnÆt merged yet to form the perfection needed to dominate the moment but ElhumeÆs shape of annihilation had been polished to the point of being blinding A blast of force shot forward beyond the limits of even crystallized Aether That black line that had overwhelmed Mae and her world state image even slightly weakened by the destabilization in the memory was erased by ElhumeÆs punch
Yggdrasil roared in denial Space rumbled as its roots took umbrage with this offense It raised its canopy with the inviolable aura of a god and demanded obedience

When that failed the powerful runic symbols across its trunk began to glow All the depth it had achieved by sinking its roots into this area was brought to bear Practically holding hands the light of Dawn and Dusk cleaved downward and cut into the attack With the combined effort of all those energies a small portion of ElhumeÆs punch was chipped away

RandidlyÆs expression sunk With very little other choices Yggdrasil ripped all its carefully established roots out of the environment and wrapped them around the forceful blast It acted as a dragnet slowing down the attack any way it could
Congratulations Your Skill Marred Yet Reliable Foundation of Yggdrasil has grown to Level 1053
As they burned and disintegrated before that overwhelming punch the roots bled off energy and fed it back to Randidly His emerald eyes burned as his massive Yggdrasil image bought him time to gather his momentum

Chapter 2324
Above RandidlyÆs head Yggdrasil burned Leaves fell down as smoldering bits of wreckage lending an apocalyptic backdrop to his struggle
Even delaying the near perfect image of annihilation that Elhume now wielded meant YggdrasilÆs veins ruptured with white fire All the dangerous force he needed to wield in resistance crashed into RandidlyÆs body but he ignored the mounting damage His muscles writhed and agony seemed to course through him as much as blood did He tightened his grip on Acri He stared fixedly ahead at the giant pale fist of annihilation He prepared to thrust
He observed the flow of significance He felt the strain on the memory and did some mental calculations
Six seconds maybe seven seconds As long as I hold out that long Randidly could feel the growing note of resonance between Fiero and Elhume as they neared their dual Pinnacle moment Beneath his feet the skyisland cracked and its Engravings began to fail The Pinnacle event will occur and all the energy I need will be released
In the meantimeù letÆs tear the understanding of possible to shreds
Randidly faced the punch of Elhume With YggdrasilÆs image intensity essentially spent the Songstress of Absence stepped forward with her arms wide She was two beings the finned mermaid creature but she was also an event horizon And in the face of this attack her body disappeared and an eye of absence opened The energy around her turned milky with electromagnetic discharge shattered light radiation the chilling hand of entropy physical collapse and spatial daggers radiating out from her form She was a true rip in the universe rumbling forward to gobble up ElhumeÆs punch
They smashed against one another and devoured Their hues might be different but their power was similar And to RandidlyÆs horror the fist resisted the hunger of the void and shoved its way forward in a raw battle of momentum
Congratulations Your Skill Hungry Eyes Hollow Heart Cadence of Tragedy has grown to Level 1043
Congratulations Your Skill Absolute Insight of the Smoldering Abyss has grown to Level 1039
Congratulations Your Skill Hungry Eyes Hollow Heart Cadence of Tragedy has grown to Level 1062
Randidly narrowed his eyes as his second image was pushed back by this single display of power A second ticked by while the Songstress struggled but that was it The edge of the event horizon shattered underneath the knuckles of the opposition The Hungry Eye began to shrink The burden of a hole in the universe was steamrolled by ElhumeÆs punch without even any apparent effort
Behind Randidly Devick peered over his shoulder She loosed a low whistle is that really the guy you were smacking around earlier
Yes unfortunately Randidly clicked his tongue He had split his images up into three waves in order to buy more time but now he regretted not meeting the attack with the whole of his capabilities Well part of that was that he had already unleashed his thrust before he had understood just how close to the Pinnacle Elhume had come
Either way it was too late for regrets for nowù Randidly paused as he was about to mobilize his Dread Homunculus image because two sudden specters appeared around the vanishing event horizon The two ugly ghosts that he had obtained on the Mountain flared to life They swelled to a massive size ignoring the dangerous energy discharge and spreading their arms wide They looked like crooked featured versions of Boo
