A thousand Lancers of the Baleful Crusade stood at attention their weapons raised in tribute They opened their mouth and roared
Through their messy edges the solid shouldered appearance of Sam could be seen He pressed his lips together and squinted A long time ago you stopped really needing me as much for making your equipment If IÆm being honest it hurt Both my pride and my feelings It was how I felt like I mattered to you yanno Obviously I still forged DonnytonÆs equipment and the Squad emblems for a long time but
Sam took several steps forward He reached out and tapped a finger against RandidlyÆs chest This I built with love Randidly Probably my magnum opus Got plenty of rewards including the ability to attach Class affixes to equipment I just hope it helps you reach the end of this journey touch the core of the System Go win and tear it all down
Sam Randidly didnÆt manage to express the tender feeling in his heart before the last string of notifications arrived

Chapter 2334
After his Class finished evolving Randidly sat for a while on the edge of the Badlands and just stared up at the brilliant nova of light released by PineÆs rebirth The near constant wind of the expanse sat in awe leaving the world hanging in a stalled state
Here a Legend had been born After the effort of producing such a miracle the universe rested on its brilliant starburst laurels of light
Part of the reason for his stillness was the complicated well of emotions dug up over the course of the evolution Part of it was the ambiguous implications of the word LegendÆ being present in his Class while he still lived and breathed Part of it of course was the beauty of the Pinnacle event even if this was likely a diminished version of what had happened originally
But also Randidly found it fascinating that he could look at this Pine without fear that the monstrous hole the Universe Soul would someday become would notice Whatever had occurred to release that perfect pulse of energy had erased some of the reality from the memory Its connection to his present had been severed Randidly also couldnÆt sense that general intelligence he had interacted with earlier entreating the Universe Soul for help with his impossible attempts
That fragment of Pine had died had been sacrificed had been erased to open up the possibility of rebirth for the people within the memory Looking at the silvery blue rays of light giving way before the arrival of true dawn Randidly sighed
The memory Pine had trusted him No communication had been exchanged other than action Which made the imperative all the more onerous
Which eventually would propel him out of this lull
He looked down in the ground but peered through the examine the fabric of this memory His eyebrow twitched The hard edges of the Dungeon that Neveah had created had begun to crack The time difference had given them almost six months but now the collapse of the Sonora was catching up with him The doom he had brought onto this bundle of regrets had arrived Probably hastened by the strain this explosion had created
One step at a time Randidly slapped his cheeks His mind tried to catalog the tasks waiting in front of him but he couldnÆt focus for very long He kept flashing back to the appearances of all those from within the Alpha Cosmos demonstrating their support for his mission He saw the army of Lancers now Heralds with hundreds of the created beings have discovered their own individuality and evolved into different forms He felt the heat of their fierce pride being his army He felt the weight of those connections lying heavily across his arms and legs
He flexed his fingers and looked at his palm Although he had grown so much he still felt like the same individual that had woken up in the Dungeon not even realizing the world he knew had died Almost to the finish line like it or not
Randidly stood and stretched His shoulders and neck cracked whether or not it had been held consciously a lot of tension had lingered in his shoulders after the attempts and into the creation of the Class He hadnÆt handled the details but he was the one who had to shovel energy directly into the process to carry him to completion That meant he had to move constantly even if he didnÆt need to engage in any complicated activities
But compounding that base tension of motion was the constant strain on his Nether Core
Randidly rubbed the back of his neck as he scanned one last time through the list of his new Classes Reading each brought to mind various caracatures of himself versions created to fulfill particular roles
Mantle of the Tireless Pathfinder
Silver Protostar of the Alpha Cosmos
Deviant Calamity Soulbound to the Carrion Dragon
Nearby under the leafy auspicious of one of the thick roots three Homid women and one Lizakh sat in the shade and gossiped It was there favorite pass time
What a loud storm The first Homid commented She was the largest of the group and the oldest her legs withered down to twig thin wrists and strings for fingers Her arms had thickened to more than makeup for the difference She handled the detail work weaving together a silk scarf
I heard a rumor that when the Turtlelines lost the battle they tried to end the world The second Homid said Petty as usual
End the world How ridiculous The third Homid snorted She had reeds in her feet quickly bringing her limbs in circular motions to finish the outer structure of a basket The world isnÆt something that ends easily you know But definitely I felt the shift in the feel of the air Like there were times in the worst darkness thatù have I mentioned I was once an adventurer Before my husband died
