As Randidly drew in a breath his entire awareness changed
Threads of energy and significance had previously been flowing in every direction The interplay between the forces had constructed the shell of reality With focus he had previously been able to peer through the edges of existence and examine the building blocks of existence Concentration allowed him to fold his own perspective and alter the entire world around him
But now all the movement of energy ceased
The world bloomed into a dozen different dimensions
At that exact moment the memory began to crumble and shake around him

Chapter 2351
The ground around Randidly began to quake even as the notifications for completing his path kept appearing The pressure had built up in the ground slowly the cracks stretching up through the stone and dirt before wrenching huge stretches of land apart
Or at least that was what Randidly believed He blinked slowly trying to separate all the layers he now saw in existence They existed like halos of light touching and intersecting their hues mixing to create reality He expended a bit of Willpower and shifted the world into its more available alignment for a secondù he could see the crashing storms with their dark clouds the huge expanses of shattered ground the flickering tongues of spectral distortions as a world ended
Congratulations Your Skill Emerald Eyes and Dove Breath Certify the Objective has grown to Level 1501
In the distance he heard the screams of the dying He adjusted his awareness easing back from the familiar to the strange newness of these light halos Once he compared the two Randidly could feel the flow the pulse of time the passage of energy from one halo to another demonstrated through color He could notice sound but also the sharp spikes of fear a powerful nova of radiation weaving together from hundreds of starting points
Congratulations Your Skill Emerald Eyes and Dove Breath Certify the Objective has grown to Level 1502
Randidly closed his eyes briefly limiting the amount of information flowing into him through his new senses But only a moment later he forced his eyes open No I need to see this Because IÆm about to head back into the Nexus after this I will either break free from ElhumeÆs tyranny or fall prey to it
In other words Randidly looked out across all the halos the pain and fear the blame and recrimination the desperation and the opportunistic violence He felt the broad halo of the Lifeseal of Homewell and witnessed a massive crack shred the protection and destabilize the cityÆs foundation Either I will protect the Alpha Cosmos from a fate even worse from this or I will be forced to watch all IÆve built collapse
Congratulations Your Skill Emerald Eyes and Dove Breath Certify the Objective has grown to Level 1503
I would rather look now RandidlyÆs eyes bulged as he followed the devastation As the cracks proved to the memory it wasnÆt real huge swathes of land vanished underneath the feet of fleeing people Those people fell screaming for miles and miles until they passed beyond the wounded animating force of the memory and they just ceased to be To make sure I donÆt flinch and allow this to happen again
And while the world collapsed his Path continued to combine his Skills into more potent versions

Randidly looked up from the notifications as a two headed dragon fluttered its wings and flew across the broken skies Already color and life began to drain out of the broken memory The substance of existence revealed its tearing like paper exposed to water Yet the dragon possessed enough individual strength that it forced itself to fly in his direction
Randidly tilted his head to the side as he observed the monster approach It was a being from the Badlands he had sensed it observing him when he was improving his Keystone of the First Ghasthund But it didnÆt dare approach him at the time
Before Randidly could even make an offer he felt a glimmer of connection from his Fatepiece Surprised he allowed the misty orb to manifest in his hand His brow scrunched in confusion but gradually his expression clearedù the FatepieceÆs activation felt so different because he was approached by a supplicant rather than extending an offer
The churning storm above their heads released a bolt of lightning But the pressure from the sudden explosion of energy was too much for existence around them The memory shattered completely around them cracks spreading out and annihilating larger and larger stretches of ElhumeÆs regrets
For a brief moment the two heads pulsed with power and kept annihilation at bay The dragon wished for another chance It had heard word of RandidlyÆs warning and ignored it apparently the drama of the BeigonÆs deaths hadnÆt even reached the ears of the beasts within the Badlands It was enough that Randidly was just one more humanoid promising the doom of the world
Fist sized chunks began simply fade across the dragonÆs body Its image was strong but not quite strong enough to persist without support
A Cheshire smile stretched across RandidlyÆs face You were foolish and late There will be a cost
Congratulations Your Skill Arch HereticÆs Thaumaturgy has grown to Level 827
The dragon did not wait to assent It had already lost too much of its mind and essence to hesitate All that lingered in its collapsing existence was the desperation and the instinct guiding it toward salvation
