RandidlyÆs spear made contact with the dense skin of the horrible serpent The dead followed a split second later all their accumulated rancor smashing directly against the significance of the Eternity
Space tore and time stuttered as the two powers smashed against each other with all the subtlety of an avalanche A few nearby pillars cracked and collapsed the half finished dolls upon them falling to the ground and shattering The dead physically inundated Laplace and began to dig with their fingers trying to find purchase in the EternityÆs grey body Yet even with all this built up momentum they stopped just short of being able to wound this foreign monster The dense barrier of its significance only began to waverù RandidlyÆs eyes flashed in recognition
Not there yet He hummed to himself his body screaming from the reverberating feedback of his powerful thrust being stopped dead But as he shifted his weight backward and reset himself his three images all gathered together Randidly nudged the prepped image back into place and attacked again
However Laplace recovered just as quickly from the first calamitous impact Those handless clocks seemed to grow larger and larger on its sagging face A piercing bolt of the EternityÆs power ripped through the intervening space creating several whirlpool temporal distortions and slammed into RandidlyÆs chest His experiential time wrenched in several directions almost scattered by the force of the smite
Upon LaplaceÆs arrival a glance had been enough to lock Randidly within the complex and poisonous currents of significance
He reached into deeper rings of experienced time and his body began to break down
RandidlyÆs stubbornness and the bead of the same he had taken from Shal grew even more adamant in the face of this suffering The sensation of time vanished without the fabric around him it was difficult to feel how the situation truly developed Randidly felt suspended in the moment of struggle his muscles constantly rupturing and straining He pushed and pushed
A huge and oppressive wave of time settled across his arms and back He rose to meet it drawing on all the grand potential of his vessel
Yet he was locked in the moment of strain Every extended experience suffocated his hope that he could escape this He pushed and nothing seemed to change His muscles trembled and he squeezed out every drop of sweat and effort from his physical form but all he seemed to accomplish was damaging his own body by fighting against a weight that greatly overmatched him
Randidly almost laughed aloud as he felt the pressure increase again the existence of an Eternity was ridiculous He knew that Elhume and Fiero had somewhat faked their way to the Pinnacle but the difference in accomplishment felt comical His images slowed in their rampage and were forced back The constant charge of the dead stalled out behind him He could maintain a thin film of his superior Nether around his person but he could no longer cut through the sheer weight of memories that the Eternity had experienced
For all the dead Randidly now unleashed Laplace had probably seen ten times more die and had never felt even a tremor The density of his significance was impressive but a sufficient quality could overmatch him with just the horrific power of memory That was what it meant to be an Eternity
So this is the extent of your power Randidly let out a self small laugh He felt the memories grinding away at his vessel and his vessel slowly being pushed back The bend in his knees increased His toes were pushed back desperate for purchase on the ground The trembling in his legs grew worse and worse His smile widened Well I always figured a direct confrontation would be dumb but can you blame a guy for trying
Those blank clock faces bored into Randidly still not even seeming to acknowledge his words Finally feeling his limits nearing Randidly flicked his left hand and produced the AlchemistÆs passport Normally he wouldnÆt be able to affect such a powerful creature but the wound to the temporal fabric left spatial tears all around
Just because Randidly wasnÆt prepared to perform the grand finale of his three miracles didnÆt mean he was above a few sleights of hand to warm the crowd up
With a grunt Randidly did two things simultaneously activate his Fatepiece and rip Acri out of LaplaceÆs fat and grey flesh The sense of relief he experienced while no longer needing to endure the echoes of LaplaceÆs manipulated time was so strong he couldnÆt help but stagger backward It was the equivalent of stepping off a tiny boat and forgetting the ground would no longer be undulating beneath you
Laplace didnÆt miss the opening as RandidlyÆs balance failed himù the massive creature whipped its tail sideways Randidly barely was able to get Acri up in time to block gritting his teeth through the splash of its horrible weight
As Randidly staggered backward Laplace turned away from this annoyance and pounced toward its original goalù the Eternity crashed face first into one of the nearby storage shelves Still leaking that horrible pressure the metal warped and the other building materials directly imploded The explosion set off a series of smaller collapses as debris were sent flying in every direction After a long moment the Eternity pressed itself up out of the wreckage and turned to glare at Randidly
Randidly laughed the air rippled softly behind him With the AlchemistÆs Passport he had rotated the two around Not only had he caught up to the Eternity but now he stood between it and the last barrier before Pine
ShalÆs bead of stubbornness had brightened to the piercing beam of a lighthouse Even now even if its hopeless we can still advance Shal
My Grand Fate will be to harmonize three Truths Randidly proclaimed as he leveled Acri at the monster And my chosen Penance will be to heal all the wounds youÆve inflicted on the fabric of time
Laplace attacked still unwilling to allow him the pleasure of some verbal banter But also in that moment Randidly felt a tremor from his Nether Core One that felt bad
For whatever reason his Nether Core didnÆt like the framing of his Penance Which felt like a pretty late moment for this realization to suddenly manifest
Chapter 2423
Devick burned It wasnÆt necessarily painful but she was very aware that their would be lingering damage
But in that heat she also found power
The essence of her soul had become fire Each of her thoughts and emotions just existed for a split second before it became further fuel for the inferno rampaging through her body The flames rose higher and higher dancing past the edges of her skin emotional intensity and the raw essence of shape turned into incandescent plasma The specter of Malice floated and shimmered in that manifestation being forged as Devick discovered this genuine Path forward for her image
The flames that consumed her were varied Some were the dark color of rust some were pitch black others were pure white Devick gradually focused her attention toward the most pure and hottest flames finding the materials necessary to burn away the more stubbornly persistent parts of herself that didnÆt waver no matter how hot the flames of her image had become
Malice lived and breathed in the furnace of Perdition slowly being refined The hareÆs ears lengthened the muscles on its body developed and more and more bleak emotions concentrated in that left hand The process echoed out through this perfectly amplifying space until it bounced off the far wall landing on her again and doubling the benefit
Is this warm feeling pride Huhuh who knew that guiding a friend toward the Pinnacle would be so fulfilling The current form of the shapeshifting spirit had become toddler sized walking around Devick with an admiring gaze But from the increasing pudginess of her cheeks she approached another point of loud rupture and shift to a new form Yet the longer that the shapeshifter looked at Devick the more she hesitated Ahem but you know you burn away more and more of yourself in this way Your image is becoming pure but
