Shal pivoted and looked at the Monarch of Karma A smile tugged at his mouth Yes by choosing a Path that will kill me And who is more deserving of what will befall him than a fool who delivers himself into the lionÆs mouth I may not have deserved the journey but I will surely deserve my end
After Shal walked away the Monarch of Karma watched his back for as long as he could Then he allowed his eyes to drift up to the sky and its complex spiraling patterns The remnants of the crystal Aether glittered and howled From this distance it was impossible to tell that so much energy was contained within those smote bits of solidified energy that it would scrape the flesh from the bones of most until not even dust remained
Choices huh The Monarch said quietly to himself For the past several hours the choice for him had begun and ended with whether or not to allow the image gifted to him by Mae Myrna to be revived Yet that was just one of dozens of choices he had made And when he gave all his attention to this one little portion of being alive he missed all the other choices he could make
All the other aspects of being alive he could want without needing to believe he deserved them It was an incredibly selfish perspective that sent little shivers of pleasure through his body
Without really having a destination the Monarch of Karma stood and began to walk
Mind Randidly hissed in distaste all at once he could feel FieroÆs image scrabbling against his protections from a dozen new directions The image of the old monster couldnÆt be underestimated It felt like a thousand rats scampering across him digging their small claws into any weakness they could find and trying to establish themselves Each probe came with a shouted MINE over and over again
His Nether Core continued to rotate Randidly had almost endless significance surging through his limbs His First Authority Seize blazed with importance Yet
Mine mine mine mine mine mine MINE mine mineMINEMINE
Body Randidly swayed unable to follow up as Elhume stumbled backward A twinge of unease blossomed in his gut He reached out and brushed up against the steel plated focus of Mind Randidly Are you alright
I will need to be The other him thought back grimly Mind Randidly blazed with indignation as he felt those infinite claws starting to gain purchase at various points across his existence Suddenly he felt what a liability it was to have his existence to have grown to such a vast presence Most of the weaker parts related to the subconscious he inherited from the Alpha Cosmos were still protected within the depths of him but his legend hovered just beyond the edges of his skin making him slightly larger than life It was there that Fiero began to take from him
Seize roared in indignation but Mind Randidly didnÆt simply allow another pulse of its power to smother all this resistance He felt his frustration rising in the end it was a matter of matchup He had assumed their abilities were somewhat similar but they were not Seize was a single overwhelming usurpation Mine was a sea of unreasonability wave after wave lapping against the target until all records of the original owner were washed away
Both were abilities centered around taking but they differed in application
Mind Randidly felt bitter The easiest solution would just be to allow Fiero to take a significant portion of my presence then Seize it all back But IÆm more than just me at this point All of my supporters have added to this have become a part of me I cannot just let them go for the win here
Standing to the side Fiero showed his thin and sharp teeth Mine All of it
Mind Randidly slammed his dense Nether against the incursions smashing all the tiny mines to pieces The anchors of Seize released smaller pulses of power keeping the worst of the taking at bay He manipulated currents of significance flowing through his body to drive back the opponentÆs image
Body Randidly shifted to the side countering one of ElhumeÆs punches with a well timed thrust He followed up with a second thrust that drew a long line of blood from ElhumeÆs shoulder but the note of truth had become almost blinding shining out from the depths of ElhumeÆs eyes
Randidly could almost see Solomon Rex and Elhume steadily merging together The hybrid monster smiled at him You are talented Perhaps without peer in the history of the Nexus You have broken so many well established rules But to overcome both of us
MinemineminemineMINEMINEmineMINE
you are insufficient Elhume finished
At the same time Mind Randidly felt a prickle of a new fear as all of sudden FieroÆs mines avoided the small nipping bites at the edges of his legend and concentrated on a new target Sulfur
His left arm gave a rumble of fear as the enemy’s image inundated the Soulplant with ripping taking consuming stealing The image came with knives and began to carve And above them all Pine continued to loom closer At the edges of their battlefield the ground began to crumple and float up toward the doom waiting in the sky
Chapter 2402
Suddenly Sulfur was under attack
The shift in FieroÆs focus came so suddenly that Mind Randidly wasted a second in reacting By the time fury roared through his blood and he unleashed an obliterating cannon of significance through the arm several portions of his precious companion had been plundered by Fiero
Rather than trying to manipulate it at all and ruin the motion of Body Randidly the Vulpine fuck started destroying SulfurÆs valuable marrow The vital part that converted kinetic force to energy vanished under the assault of those infinite rat mouths
You fucking Randidly rage burned hot enough that even his body consciousness swore But just as he was about to eschew the First Authority entirely and obliterate this threat by wielding the Third Authority Intangible Burial Sulfur released a reassuring pulse
DonÆt waste too much We all are going to be scarred by this I will not die It is worth it Stay focused
For a brief moment RandidlyÆs chopping emotional sea stilled
Body Randidly pivoted and looked down at his left arm Bits of ashy armor flaked away from the limb The biggest loss was from the pinky finger the entire bit past the last knuckle crumbling away to nothing without its energy marrow Body and Mind Randidly came back together thoughts and impressions circulating between them both For a split second the whole of him became united by his own certainty
He felt such guilt But he could not fault his supporters for sacrificing for this goal not when Randidly had ignored his own needs for so long in order to chase this dream Not a single one of them would emerge unscarred Randidly hated himself for leading them down this Path
But he would not falter not now He would just teach the monsters of the Nexus contrition
The two consciousnesses parted and returned to their respective roles Within his body his violent Nether flows were frothed and invigorated by the presence of the suddenly well behaved and frigid injection of stilled emotion Those mixed energies began extemporaneously tracing out patterns His significance spun through his body A tremor echoed out from his Nether Core he was close so close
The Nether Rituals writ themselves into existence and slaughtered their way through the mouths of FieroÆs mines
Congratulations Your Skill Randidly Ghosthound Executive of Nether Reborn has grown to Level 1710
Congratulations Your Skill Randidly Ghosthound Executive of Nether Reborn has grown to Level 1760
Body Randidly stalled slightly earning a low chuckle from Solomon/Elhume The truth in his eyes brightened to the point the air began to stir with the imminent arrival of another Pinnacle moment I suppose this is your limit then Perhaps we should reopen negotiations
Randidly felt his Nether click into place grounded by the waves of chilling emotion spreading through his body Over the past few minutes he knew the different Nether bonds had been in place but they had gone through a testing period the energy flowing through him was partially shoring up the pathways so it could withstand the full force of his presence It had just been a few last experiments
