Because for all the advantages that Devick possessed Randidly had been given a secret Path His vessel was already built he contained worlds and worlds When the depths of his emotional sea began to move the balance abruptly began to tilt
Ill prove it to you Randidly thought tears still running down his cheeks This whole Nexus Ill upend it
He was incandescent his emotions burning through his powerful body as he took a step forward Yggdrasil snapped its way through the chains and the Randidly approached a monster stalking its prey
Chapter 2389
Devick accepted the fourth offering from Enmya an unadorned copper blade that had been hammered into shape using solely Nether The workmanship of the weapon was rough but it felt both heavy and warm in her hands More annoying than any of the details however was how powerful this common weapon seemed to be
She suppressed the urge to brandish it back and forth like a child play acting at war Despite all the import of this ritual she felt quite bored And as though the multiverse heard and understood her frustration the Alpha Cosmos shivered
Holding the refined weapon Devick felt the strangest sensation beneath her feet As though the solid ground were cracking and she now was balanced precariously upon a tiny barge of substance drifting on the stirring sea of Nether within the Alpha Cosmos The ground became an unstable ice floe Any wrong move could overstrain her vessel and result in her plunging into its depths
Even Enmya began to frown looking down at his now empty hands The Nether Rituals circling their positions pulsed and flickered casting strange shadows across his face This should there have been such an immediate response on only the fourth offering
Devick did her best to stay still although she felt a strange tugging upon the weapon she now held Malice leaned closer peering at the energies sloshing within it Probably this could be used to slay a god too Even the small items in rituals used to empower Randidly Ghosthound are so powerful Can I really belong at his side
No thats the entire point isnt it Devicks grip tightened on the weapon until her knuckles were white and she felt the metal deforming in her hand Her vessel shook very slightly I claimed a place by his side because I refused to imagine a world where I did not Unreasonability is my greater weapon
Balance was just an illusion Only those who looked past their illusory refuge could see the most daring Path forward
Lowanna drew her fingers in the air tracing small patterns Her lips thinned at what she discovered We knew this arrangement was without any comparable predecessors The potency of the response simply proves we are on the right track As the volume of Nether grows unexpected wrinkles in the pattern are inevitable
Shouldnt we be more cautious in how we proceed We will not get a second chance at this Enmya frowned Can his body really handle this
Devick had a moment of monstrous clarity Just sitting through the ritual would not bring her any closer to her goal And she knew in her bones that Randidly was altogether too much of a fool to have taken the stable route
She knew what she had to do
Devick adjusted the sword in her grip and pointed her blade toward the ground With Malice grinning she drove the copper blade into small central point of dirt without any glowing symbols on it Both Lowanna and Enmya froze and watched her with wide eyes as Devick gripped the hilt and twisted it popping open an even larger flaw in the small bit of stable significance beneath them
What are you doing Enmya gapped
After a single warning tremble from the ground a grander ritual unfolded on that key Devick wielded A thousand organic Nether patterns swirled up out of the ground and created a storm of significance around their position The calcified skin of energy cracked and revealed the beating heart and lifeblood of the work they were doing More and more patterns slithered out and bled into one another forming a massive churning maelstrom of patterns
A dome formed above their heads blotting out light from the sun with its swirling arrangements
Twilight felt cool against Devicks skin after the heat of the daylight Rising winds tore down the small trees nearby and tossed them across the surrounding hills However the more ominous development was the long fingers forcing their way out of the ground Soon forearms and Randidly torsos followed blank eyed zombies shambling to their feet and turning their misty gazes toward the three individuals working in the middle of the Nether Ritual
Fascinating Lowanna announced with a remarkable amount of poise She nodded to Devick She used the sword to carve her way from the surface of the Randidlys significance to its very core Can you see the patterns Enmya You were perhaps correct we will need to make some small adjustments
But what the fuck are they Enmya waved a hand as the first few Randidlys began to stumble toward their position
Subconscious impulses Monstrous dreams Dark sublimated desires from the Alpha Cosmos Deviations or contradictions that developed within his Nether Core Flaws which upon being cleansed will make the result all the more overwhelming She raised her hand her own Nether beginning to flow between her fingers Do try your best to hurry Enmya I am not sure how long I will be able to hold them off
Now was the chance to stop her It would only get harder from here
His fury burned through his muscles trembling with the exhaustion of climbing to this point Even his powerful body couldnt bear the emotional intensity of an entire world for very long For this decisive strike he didnt rely on images just on his overwhelming emotional force He breathed in and closed his eyes An avatar of all the Alpha Cosmoss rage settled into a fighting stance
Vengeance incarnate for all those loved ones killed by the Systems callous methods thrust forward Randidly Ghosthounds speartail
The two reflected moon eyes watched the blow Devicks monstrous offhand reached up and caught the emotional force Image met image deviation smashed into deviation Devick laughed loud and echoing
He could feel her soul twisted and scarred She was not unfamiliar with an entire world hoping she would die She had endured such rejection for as long as she lived Where his fury seared her image her grief and pain chilled his attack
Even through his fury Randidly felt Devicks power rival his own He could feel the essence of her body rapidly shifting being baptized by her strange transformation He felt the wrongness proliferating corroding and altering the fabric of existence Her words seemed to haunt existence a world state adjacent image but one affecting only her
Where insanity can respire so can I
The light from the crimson moons brightened a slightly different shade than the hair of the Actus Suprem The reality of the current situation cut through the pounding of Randidlys blood his wild sense of loss and fury Devick grasped her way up to a warped version of the Pinnacle right in front of him The sky had begun to rotate the not Pinnacle event warping the surrounding environment with its imminent arrival
Randidly felt like his own personal grief took from him with just as much surety as his Visage of Obsession Seeing his strike rebound shook loose a few more cracked pieces of his psyche Rage lived and breathed within his chest swelling to fill the missing pieces
He would not stop until he had buried the Actus Suprem
He raised his arms and shredded the edges of Devicks avatar body His wings beat and beat the World Tree cracking the body in front of it Nether roared through his body His tail became a machine gun drilling again and again with Acri Striking the pure image reaction happening again and again
With the force he wielded he chipped and cracked her image array But that only seemed to make it fester and solidify more quickly His body was covered in sweat and his muscles trembled The event horizon of the Songstress of Absence spun its way wider beginning to eclipse the tops of his shoulders
Neveah unleashed a powerful mental warning to catch his attention Elhume is moving again in your direction If you do not finish this soon
