Those deadly points spun toward him but Randidly followed his instincts He moved the seedÆ of Yggdrasil from which the branches spread upward and the roots spread downward The circular source of possibilities condensed back as a sphere The font of potential settled at the middle of the World Tree the transition point between roots and branches All the weak and mild Nether he had managed to convert flowed into that point spreading down into the roots until the tree was the mirror image of itself the golden and emerald above and the grey and shadow thorns below
Randidly wove a Nether Ritual and moved image and significance to meet the memories Velio was screaming and howling as they fell deeper and deeper down the spine Ignoring the man completely Randidly poured all of his focus into the ritual
He almost couldnÆt believe when the Ritual shattered to pieces on contact Those memories spiraled forward and penetrated into his body without slowing down at all Aether and Nether moved to stop the memories from hitting his psyche but they werenÆt enough the real power of the Samsara was how it had hollowed out RandidlyÆs Vessel when it brought him here
Randidly tumbled out into a seething storm of patterns still complex and glittering as they attempted to constrict around the locationÆ he had just left The world became warped around him all half impressions and the esoteric underpinnings of existence laid bare He could see through to the bones of the Eternity Triumph bubbled in his gut
Simultaneously he felt a spike of panic considering the rapidly declining situation of both his Soulspace and his Nether Core The destabilizations continued He felt a constant agony a part of his attention now being spent holding his Vessel together He didnÆt even want to know the situation in his actual body
At the very least his Grand Fate improved even more quickly with all this information available Randidly reached out and touched the Samsara causing visible distortions in its mechanisms even if the functions werenÆt yet threatened
Congratulations Your Grand Fate Temporal Thaumaturgy Mends Eternity has grown to Level 602
New unfamiliar patterns activated in the Samsara as though it sensed his interference Before Randidly could make any headway in the chaotic soup a bubble formed around him A split second too late he saw similar restrictions now rushing to surround himself
These damn patterns
If nothing else the Alchemist in him was eminently practical It looked around with calculating eyes and then turned its focus to the shattered pieces of PanguÆs Asymptote that floated inside of his body It considered these new tools broken as they were and considered what sort of miracle it could create with them
The Aspect had separated into two forms the bare frameÆ and the floating shards of glassÆ that had separated from the frame due to fractures As they tumbled end over end Randidly saw that both were covered in strange patterns
Randidly stilled His eyes narrowed Despite the opportunity to study and damage the Samsara around him that was rapidly vanishing he focused on the remnants of the Aspect The glass shards had various snippets of Nether Rituals imprinted upon them glittering and mysterious From just a look Randidly could tell they helped create the asymptote portion of the Aspect that connected and separated two infinitely close worlds
But this structure Randidly burned in indignation He knew from the beginning that PanguÆs assistance wasnÆt for free From the upper most portion of PineÆs body the mysterious Eternity had its fingers deep into the Nexus It copied and stole the dead
Yet what Randidly didnÆt expect was for the inspired patterns on his Aspect to match the other energy he had sensed in the Samsara Even Laplace had been given a nudge from Pangu
Even that Randidly perhaps could have accepted He would have gritted his teeth told himself not to be distracted from the current threats arrayed against him and instead focused on breaking out of the Samsara Yet the betrayals didnÆt end there Because hidden underneath the glassÆ portions against the base frame of the Aspect there was a pattern of a different nature
It only took him a few The glass created the Asymptote The frame captured all the details of RandidlyÆs Soulspace aimed at copying and duplicating his Truths It was an observational pattern of extreme specificity Such that even though he was unfamiliar with the patterns Randidly could understand how they worked
What the hell are you doing with our Truths Pangu Randidly stilled his emotional sea taken from him but the raw feelings still chilling his blood and freezing his heartbeat
He fought against an Eternity the most dangerous invader the Nexus had ever faced And another Eternity observed waiting to see the Truths powerful enough to overcome this assault
Simultaneously Randidly had destabilized his his Nether Core by destroying PanguÆs Aspect and had riled up his Truths toward a grand miracle while accidentally sealing them off by creating an unrelated Grand Fate
Shit Randidly pressed his lips and eyes together
For the first time in a long time he had no idea how to advance through this situation
Chapter 2437
The space reacted almost instantly to the new presence However instead of an image fluttering and expanding to fill the area a suffocating sense of loss seeped out to soak every aspect of the area
Devick spun around her back already beginning to tingle with bits of chilling perspiration She couldnÆt believe it the air still retaining that washed out quality as though even reality had begun to melt Her heart pounded IÆm afraid Without even seeing the foe
Flee The monkey urged again
Devick ignored its words and her own heart’s emphatic drumbeat of support She pulled on her image allowing stubbornness and malice to blossom in her chest Flames wrapped around her body yet the manifestation remained filmy and insubstantial with the horrific aura The flames resembled paper cutouts rather than any real raging inferno
On the far side of the room a slit formed in existence A fat and scaled hand pushed its way through One by one those fingers curled around the edge and began to draw space back like a heavy curtain
What began to filter through the opening however was nothing like sunlight
Next to Devick the monkey had almost folded in on itself It wrapped its torso in its furred arms and bent forward already shivering Devick reached out through her connection with Randidly and grasped for him Yet the connection felt dull and sluggish she didnÆt receive any sort of timely response
From the opening a head forced its way through A fat serpent pulled itself forward long arms connected to a massive body Its face was a mess of gore both of its eyes had been carved up and bled fat drops of ichor onto the ground ItÆs head swung back and forth blind and searching
Then with a horrific sense of finality it swung in Devick and the monkeyÆs direction Its long tongue poked out of its mouth Its slouched and lazy posture reminded Devick of an overflowing pile of garbage And the aura of death it radiated was just like the stench such a presence would produce
DevickÆs eyes began to water
We must immediately you girl what are you doing
Devick had stepped forward The fetid taint in the air strengthened to the point she could barely breathe She ignored her coughs and plucked up her paper flames into her hands and crumpled them all together the texture thin and insubstantial and so fucking weak She couldnÆt help herself she began to laugh Me IÆm just I believe the miracle will happen and he will show up But we canÆt just sit around and wait for it can we
She opened her palms The folded paper flames had become a crimson chrysanthemum of malice It seemed on the edge of wilting its petal wan and unhealthy The armed serpent opened its mouth and roared
In the face of its suffocating power Devick took another step forward
