The flesh of MaliceÆs arm began to atrophy with each swing
In the end Neveah sighed and stood Devick please tell me you donÆt plan on letting the arm of your image rot off right in front of me
Devick paused in her movements She flashed Neveah a grin somewhere been impish and sheepish Well I donÆt have a solution for it now per se but from the vibes I felt from Hungry Eye what comes next wonÆt be easy And I
DevickÆs face scrunched up I refuse to be dead weight I want to possess the power to help him in this confrontation in his world Your world To do that I need to master this power that IÆve found Incorporate it naturally into my image Without it
He wonÆt leave you behind Neveah said with all the gentleness she could muster
I donÆt want him to even need to slow down for me Devick admitted Her lips twitched an aura of depression coloring the air around her Which I know is a bit unreasonable even for me
Neveah chuckled But necessary And I think you are missing a very literal way of interpreting that to alleviate this problem For example your image is basically that you now wield a power that is so dangerous even the wielder is damaged yes I donÆt think its smart to be rid of that aspect nowù you would be greatly weakened by trying to extract it But what you need to do is create a balancing force for it A way for your body to heal Why not just have your body be unreasonable too And have it heal from this horrific damage through sheer stubbornness
Chewing on the inside of his cheek Randidly ceased staring at the cracks running up into the fabric of this world and instead considered the flows of Aether and Nether that ran through the populations gathering around Homewell essentially he wanted to see how many people had believed his warnings
Even now he felt the news about the BeigonsÆ deaths weighing heavily upon the hearts of the crowds clustering around Homewell The people had gathered partially because they believed him but mostly because either they had been strongly persuaded to do so or because they wanted to convince the people already there not to fall for the lies of Randidly and the rest of his sinister cabal
The accusations made him want to snort if it hadnÆt been so heartbreakingly tragic
He could feel the emotions of fear and righteous fury burning especially hot in the area directly around Homewell Randidly shouldnÆt feel surprised about this but he had very few supporters from amongst the Turtlelines Aside from Kethope and her family essentially no one was willing to give Randidly the benefit of the doubt after he very publicly eliminated his detractors
Outside of the city whole new stretches of slums had sprung up functioning as transition camps for individuals who had rushed for the opportunity to embrace a better life Rather than emotional concerns a lot of these people were motivated by pragmatism A large portion were groups that Randidly had liberated from the Badlands while he experimented with his Fatepiece so they were more than willing to overlook a bit of murder
Groups gathered by Westrisser and Cerulean mostly included elite warriors and their immediate families These two at least had taken RandidlyÆs warnings about being unsure of how many individuals he could bring to his universe very seriously
Meanwhile the Nether contingent
A vein in RandidlyÆs temple twitched as he considered the vast host camped out along the edge of the Badlands Holy shit Lowanna Was there a single individual within the Netherlands that didnÆt listen to your words Tch no wonder the other side is convincing people that we are a horrid cabal
Just based on numbers alone the amount of Nether individuals streaming here is almost double the total number of people living in the Aetherlands
The group was beyond counting with long trains of individuals carrying only their dearest belongings snaking closer every hour All told RandidlyÆs conservative estimate at how many people were gathered below him sat at around fifty million
ItÆs possible to bring individuals into the Alpha Cosmos even if I donÆt quite have the current ability to make them realÆ and loose them in the wider Nexus Randidly muttered But how big is that number going to be Where will all these people settle She they be broken off into groups or just dumped in the wilderness somewhere Well I canÆt keep avoiding the answer forever
Randidly proceeded into his Status screen He clicked on his full MuseÆs Reverie Attribute and shivered He felt power radiating out of his new Class synergizing with the concerted power of his Fatpieces
Randidly closed his eyes as the world before him changed and he discovered how big a boost his Alpha Cosmos would receive
Chapter 2345
Six points of MuseÆs Reverie have been consumed
Reverie activating Reverie will last six minutes or until all reverie points have been spent
Randidly opened his eyes and saw a world made predictable and overwhelming by the detailed flows of power Whorls and arches held up the sky Runes and sigils delineated the ground Meaning was breathed between these two boundaries thoughts and emotions and images and significance all written into the whispering patterns

New examples lines and patterns swirled in his awareness as another layer of perception was stripped away revealing the flows beneath The Reverie shook existence as his Fatepieces sung together in harmony creating a cascading revelation that restructured the memory world The effect spread and spread bouncing and reverberating out to cover a massive area Perhaps it was due to the fact it was a memory maybe it resulted from finally earning his Sixth Fatepiece and Leveling it or maybe even the current situation had been caused by all the training Randidly had done with Lowanna since his previous activation For whatever reason the expanding limits of his reverie didnÆt seem to cease
The Muse opened his eyes and saw only possibilities around him
If the Reverie previously had shown him a hint of the majesty underlying a universe his eyes witnessed genuine beauty and his mouth breathed truth It flowed in and out of him rapidly earning him a whole slew of Skill Levels in the abilities relating to pattern and perception He pressed the notifications to the side letting wonder take over
He floated atop the patterns and savored the sensation of perceiving the foundation of all existence
He looked out and saw the sublime construction of the memory Although it had been animated by regret there was determination that sculpted the spine as well The minute runic shapes drew in power and animated unreality creating a place for regret to have limbs and independent emotions even the current Randidly could hardly believe the craftsmanship
His eyes traced the edges The lines and patterns unspooled even further than he thought Because beyond the memory there was the Nexus Inside RandidlyÆs body stood the Alpha Cosmos Patterns expanded and inverted simultaneously Randidly managed another explosive breath sensing the way he formed a conduit Meaning passed through him in both directions building to a crescendo
Again the Alchemist has surpassed himself to follow his muse glimpsing the truth inherent in this chaotic universe You have stepped beyond yourself for the second time in the future achieving points in MuseÆs Reverie will be slightly easier as you comprehend the disruptive actions that let you peel back the veneer of existence It is more likely that you obtain more than one point in MuseÆs Reverie at once
