Randidly pressed a hand to his chest I can feel it the churning force of Vengeance on the one hand like a storm about to his shore and the calming influence of Harmony opposite it Right now they are in balance and probably I should stay like this for now
Because overcoming Aegiant isnÆt really isnÆt about power ItÆs about demonstrating how fickle Truth can be
The Alchemist rubbed his hands together Bit by bit he began to understand what todayÆs final miracle would be
Chapter 2442
Heat became a physical presence Energies warred against one another The Truth was repeatedly hammered toward Randidly by the Samsara but stiffened as it entered into the growing stability he provided to existence
Gradually Randidly felt the new direction to which his choices would lead him
Aegiant screeched and rose higher while Randidly advanced his second Creed The dark pits of his eyes widened and ate through his face in their best impression of the Stillborn Phoenix Heat and darkness mixed as he expanded to destroy the cave system of the memory and then began to eat into the unsuspecting sky with teeth of distorted air and sparking plasma
Temperature failed to describe the power of this incarnation of Aegiant he radiated annihilation Even Yggdrasil began to dry and crack underneath this manifestation of the sun Stone turned runny in a larger and larger area Randidly could only awkwardly paddle in the rising tide of lava around him Aegiant raised his hands and condensed a blinding pillar of sunlight He poured his whole existence into spiking it downward toward Randidly
As the attack passed through the air the pillar birthed incandescent halos of plasma that fizzled and spat in its wake
With its trunk covered in glittering symbols Yggdrasil stretched high and proud in the face of this attack From the rustling leaves came the scattered beams of light from the dawn of existence The canopy parted to allow a pure blast to meet the assault
Congratulations Your Skill Genesis Opens A Thousand Doors and Baptizes All Comers has grown to Level 1451
Light met light but one was the soft and holy light of possibility while the other was nothing but Truth warped until it had become a scouring acid When Aegiant ripped and shredded apart those pure rays a new rustling appeared in the canopy Deep shadows formed underneath the auspices of the wide leaves with a cackling avatar of woe and madness approaching The profile was a twitching monstrosity of wicker and skittering avarice She stretched out her greedy fingers and clawed at the powerful attack
Congratulations Your Skill Insatiable Deviation Promises Doom (DD) has grown to Level 1493
The Nether construct around Randidly pulsed with a single certainty Power
Despite the relentless nature of the Skill even the shadows were broken down by the unstoppable force wielded by Aegiant The Samsara had spared nothing to prop up his image That light spread and tore its way downward The canopy rustled one last time before the annihilating heat arrived The gorgeous emerald leaves were burnt to a crisp in a flash The image manifestation flickered
Randidly watched the pillar approach He felt an instinct to raise his hands and struggle but he stilled that feeling that was not how he would be able to break this memory
Although the Vengeance Creed is bubbling in my stomach like heartburn when I just sit and take the attack RandidlyÆs lips twitched His hands tightened into fists and then he forcefully relaxed them
The attack hit the waiting trunk of the world tree The powerful bark barely managed to slow it down A massive hole was drilled through the treeÆs top several branches catching fire directly Other branches began to snap and wither as waves of heat and discharge plasma novaÆd outward The surrounding area was marred by burns Beneath the hammer blow Randidly was smashed deep into the lava ocean his Vessel hammered and shaken
Congratulations Your Skill Yyrflesh Vessel of Yggdrasil has grown to Level 1560
A pillar of heat connected ground and sky with Aegiant standing with his hands raised in the middle like a prophet of the apocalypse Even through the haze of his new deafness Randidly could feel the Truth of this powerÆ It seared his skin and ravaged his muscles crashing again and again against the flow of Nether stabilizing his body
Congratulations Your Skill Yyrflesh Vessel of Yggdrasil has grown to Level 1613
RandidlyÆs lip curled upward His position in the depths of the lava pool stabilized Because eventually that powerful manifestation faded The deep root system of the World Tree hadnÆt been touched in the slightest His burns rapidly began to heal Significance continued to gush through his limbs Randidly swam back to the surface his hair sizzling He laughed at the memory It all had begun to seem so two dimensional And now what Aegiant What do you do when power isnÆt enough to get what you want
Aegiant roared out his defiance but small sprigs were already growing out of the scorched and ravaged portions of Yggdrasil And in the energies rushing through the World Tree there were new bright sparks of plasma causing the Engravings across the trunk to glow intermittently By surviving the baptism of a sunÆs heat that could end a world Yggdrasil would grow back more resilient
It could grow back with a little bit of that power incorporated into the image
Randidly once again felt his hands tightening into fists but forcefully engaged both of his Creeds Yes I will not let this go Aegiant will be punished I will have my vengeance But there are many ways to have revenge aside from violence
Power is not enough to stop me IÆll show you how frightful it can be to fight an entity in harmony with the world
It all became fuel
Congratulations Your Skill The World Tree Guzzles Even Truth has grown to Level 1605
As the root carried him upward he broke the surface of the lava and then swung himself to land on one of the low branches of the World Tree He grinned up at Aegiant while steam wafted off his skin and molten rock hardened in thin streams down his legs You might have more power but that just means that you create a larger effect on the world But what happens if IÆm simply better at controlling the effects I want than you
This avatar didnÆt bother to respond Aegiant conjured an even larger pillar Time stuttered around them as the power of the image ripped through the temporal fabric
Almost instinctively Randidly pursed his lips in distaste and sutured together the edges of the wound

Congratulations Your Nether Penance Empty Vessel Fosakes the Path has grown to Level 973
The light from the pillar became so intense that the visuals crumpled and became darkness and the dark points in the environment became light by contrast Aegiant birthed a cataclysm that he unleashed upon the World Tree Power with a capital P crunched all opposition against it as it rolled inexorably down like the descending curtain after a theater performance The canopy vanished dawnÆs pure light and the darkness of Yggdrasil handled in a moment The upper branches became kindling The lower branches were crushed directly
Already Randidly felt the effects grinding against his Vessel He bit his lip using the violence of Vengeance and the steadiness of Harmony to remain strong His image continued to suffer The trunk was scoured clean of the Engravings The interior was hollowed out by flame
The roots were ripped up and pursued as they swam deeper into the ground to escape The lava around RandidlyÆs body evaporated on impact His Vessel shook and shook ravaged continuously by the high temperature He walked on the surface of a sun parched and fading underneath the overwhelming image
