YystrixÆs energies drifted closer prodding and pushing She almost seemed curious why he wasnÆt struggling For now Randidly ignored her movements I felt a minor shift when I gathered all my Truths together something like a possibility of a Penance but it didnÆt feel right The other reaction was when I thought about ignoring is my Penance to ignore a part of my own life for all eternity
Even just thinking it stirred up echoes of that desired resonance although his Nether Core was not present in the Samsara The strands of Nether he had woven together gave a brief wiggle Yet Randidly could only grit his teeth That fuck even IÆm starting to feel bad for myself What if my Penance is to cut a portion of my life away in addition to everything IÆve satisfied Somehow I donÆt think Neveah would ever forgive me
Also His heart tightened If what I need to sacrifice causes me to lose my connection to Devick or become blind to it I might have nudged her onto a different Path by intervening in the memory but she will snap right back into something sinister if I let that go Instead of trying to bind a child together she will probably become a being who would do anything to revive that connection Force me to remember her
Haah the intensity of her obsessions can sometimes be a bit of a burden
He pulled more significance into himself ignoring YystrixÆs consistent approach When he didnÆt have a good idea to follow the least he could do was store up supplies The Alchemist in his core turned over the options considering todayÆs miracles eyes bright and glassy as it moved from one element to the next Ripples ran through the significance as he considered various options hinting at the possibilities but not giving any definitive answers
However Randidly spoke aloud not caring that the memory Yystrix listened At the very least forcing the Truth to impress itself against the Samsara generates a lot of significance If I want to escape
Escape That will never happen Give in Randidly Ghosthound Yystrix whispered into his ear He could feel her possessiveness and her hopes for success You are mine
Randidly tskÆd despite the fact he felt quite a bit of sympathy for her after having dealt with Elhume and Fiero and their codependent antics Please donÆt stick your nose into a place where you donÆt belong If I want to escape maybe the first step should be breaking through one of the memories By overcoming it without violating the Truth
As he had these thoughts Randidly sharpened YygdrasilÆs roots They stabbed into YystrixÆs barrier The Engraving patterns instantly warped and twisted almost expecting the attack but Randidly could see the underlying patterns she had used to bind him
She might still be faster at building it but Randidly Ghosthound had a particular knack for destruction He ripped his way out The Samsara spun around him an endless vortex that refused to loosen its grip
But just like he intended a great deal of significance puffed out into the environment a massive exhale from this EternityÆs powerful technique Randidly crooked a finger and the energy sprung to his will It spiraled together into a tight little heart in his curiously empty chest Soon he would have the beginnings of a Nether Core
The memory warped and faded Soon he stood again in the middle of that room Witch King bodies littering the floor lava fountains on his left and right Aegiant blazing at him from across the room As with the second iteration this version of Aegiant had become quite a bit more formidable
LetÆs build up a bit of momentum then shall we Randidly spun Acri and ignored the rising pain vibrating out from his Soulspace And then IÆll smash my way out of here
Truly your arrogance is a delight Samara power leveled Aegiant boomed across the room Fine then letÆs see how your spear work has improved
Chapter 2435
The Samsara spun around him It set RandidlyÆs teeth on edge knowing a threat stalked for both Devick and the broader Nexus while he was stuck here Yet at the moment he was coming up woefully short on methods to break out of this equilibrium
Randidly needed energy to put an edge to his various scraps of abilities and cut his way out of the construct of Nether His Vessel remained overwhelming but he was playing catch up in almost every other category Which to be fair to the potential of the environment would have let him construct himself from the ground up with the benefit of hindsight
He could then break out and combine the two versions of himself to create a more powerful hybrid The potential tempted him
If he had been willing to remain here and engage in a long bout of training Which he was not His pulse raced with desperation worry and barely controlled power So instead he prepared to rip this piece of shit apart fast and brutal and vindictive
Randidly took a fighting stance and aimed Acri at Aegiant who now blazed with all the image potency of the original timeline Devick at her peak His focus narrowed to the flow of Nether through his veins reinforcing his body Yggdrasil shivered and matured behind the protective barrier of significance He improved quickly concentrating power for his explosion and escape
With one small aspect already engaging His Grand Fate got to work scrabbling and dismantling the surface defenses of the Samsara with what little significance he possessed
Congratulations Your Grand Fate Temporal Thaumaturgy Mends Eternity has grown to Level 225

Need to give my Grand Fate time to get some Levels under its belt Randidly launched himself forward Aegiant did the same but the spear userÆs image flowed down into his spear until the weapon was just a molten pole Aegiant roared out a challenge and drew curving slashes in the air Where the tip of the weapon hit the ground his attacks scythed through the ground and left shimmering curves of lava in their wake
Randidly grinned Is this the best you can do God IÆve missed these sorts of fights Images help but the bodies are the main focus
As YggdrasilÆs roots thickened more and more kinetic energy flowed through into RandidlyÆs form Those intrepid roots also wormed their way into the environment and provided a little bit of Nether to Randidly The accumulation of significance meant his Nether density rose to more acceptable levels His muscles relaxed as the familiar flow was restored Each moment a step forward for his combat capability Yet those same seconds brought everything he held dear closer to ruin
He tried not to let it distract him Randidly rolled his shoulders and then slammed his spear against AegiantÆs
unfortunately Randidly had to juke sideways as the molten spear just melted its way through RandidlyÆs weapon on contact He pressed his lips together but didnÆt let it bother him After all what is a spear Anything can be a spear
Randidly popped back up to his feet and pulled on his YggdrasilÆs roots They wound around his right arm forming an extended twirling lance Most specifically Randidly observed the way they could pull the energy out of the air AegiantÆs sun energy blazed slowly filling the room with heat The ground began to melt before Aegiant even manifested a a nova of fire in the space as he had in the original memory
YggdrasilÆs roots could absorb quite a bit but RandidlyÆs smile widened Next time through letÆs try that
Aegiant thrust as Randidly thrust but the Yggdrasil root arm crushed the molten pole and pierced toward AegiantÆs chest The Samsara roiled and bubbled in unwillingness Significance flooded out of the Samsara which Randidly happily gobbled up His Grand Fate slammed against the pieces of the Samsara looking for weaknesses
