Chapter 278, 1/2

Begin ultimate doubling, Erick stated, within the management room of the [Seeds of Atunir] spellwork.

The massive, white sphere of the [Spellsurge Weave] glowed brilliantly because the golden dots throughout it twinkled and shimmered. Not a single one flickered Purple, so Erick was in a position to keep right here, on Veird, for the completion of this new layer of a brand new entrapment towards Nothanganathor. The lure of Fenrir had been subverted, however this one would work as a result of they lastly had a ok understanding about the true threats and the true scope of this struggle, permitting them to truly combat the struggle the way it wanted to be fought. Additionally, Erick was right here, overcoming each shitty, main factor that Nothanganathor may throw towards Plan Encompass and Eat.

Tenebrae and Riivo stood on the controls hooked as much as the Weaver map. Some monks and paladins of Atunir stood in prayer on the candles and the altars and incense. Screens and numbers floated on the wall. The numbers counted down.

A chime rang by the complete Northern Spellsurge Mountains.

In different rooms, and even close by, monks began actually stepping into their sermons. 15 totally different infants had been born with the assistance of midwives. Candles glowed with dots of orange flame that all of a sudden turned sensible gold. Smoke wafting within the air curled with the scents of apples and good filth. 2 extra ladies gave beginning with simply the assistance of their lovers. Choirs held their notes, and songs echoed upon one another, phrases of prayer and hope solidifying the intention of what was to come back. Golden auroras curled throughout the mountains.

The sky far above the Spellsurge Mountains held the primary moon that had come about from [Seeds of Atunir]. That moon was simply as a lot a planet as Veird was a planet, although. It supported oceans and continents and it even had a number of layers of Floor, with towers of everlasting stonewood linking one land to the opposite, and sensible lights of [Kaleidoscopic Radiance] making the entire thing simply as vivid as any solar. It wanted to be vivid, in spite of everything. The outer floor of Fenrir would have had no gentle in any other case.

Over 1,000,000 such moonlights existed, surrounding Fenrir at equal distance to one another. They weren’t full protection. They had been 65% protection.

The unique Purple [Sunlights] within the sky of Fenrir had been already gone, eaten by the [Seeds of Atunir] within the final doubling.

Tenebrae hovered a hand above a giant blue button. A READY signal glowed above the button. His voice layered among the many prayer, Commencing in 3, 2

His voice trailed away.

Erick waited for different Ericks to seem, to inform them this was a nasty thought. Tenebrae waited for a similar.

Nobody else appeared.

Erick nodded to Tenebrae.

Tenebrae slammed the [Duplicate] button.

All of the moonlights corralling Fenrir copied themselves, every one splitting off from itself and casting itself into a distinct place across the dyson sphere, doubling the sunshine upon that patchwork world the place folks died and the Purple thrived. Erick watched it occur from future selves on the market, and from in right here. On this house, this smaller illustration, golden dots floated across the white weaver map, and identical to what was occurring exterior, these dots doubled. These dots moved quicker than physics ought to have allowed. Inside moments the brand new lights took their locations round Fenrir. The grid solidified.

Energy thrummed.

And that was full protection. That was it

Ah.

After which got here an issue.

Each single golden dot surrounding the white sphere map all of a sudden flickered deeper gold, a realer kind of gold. Your entire map turned stable, drops of metallic hanging within the air round a lightform sphere that was now not white and now not gentle, however absolutely Purple, and as stable as glass.

Erick didn’t have time to frown, however his lips had been definitely shifting in that course.

After which he gave himself on a regular basis he may ever want, stepping exterior of time.

Many issues occurred all of sudden, however for Erick it took a number of hours.

For starters, the Weaver map wasnt telling him something in any respect. So he seemed exterior. The silver Spellsurge Mountains had been nonetheless the identical, with golden wheat rising right here and there and other people praying within the fields, staring on the sky. Erick seemed up, together with all of the folks.

The primary planetoid was like a ball of white gentle, however upon nearer inspection it was a complete bunch of white towers and brightly-lit land and waters. It was additionally beginning to Purple on the edges. Particularly, alongside the proper edges, or relatively, eastward, if one had been to name it that, and Erick was calling it that, so thats what it was. It was as if somebody was sticking Purple needles into the japanese facet of each a part of the planet up there. Erick guessed that the assault was only one% of the best way by the planet, however even 1% was sufficient to actually do some harm.

Erick forged his gaze additional, and noticed the identical downside taking part in out on each tenth planet on the market. He allowed a single second to go in actual time, watching as extra Purple limned the japanese edges of 1 out of each 3 planets. Erick guessed the remaining planets had been near falling to the identical no matter that this was.

Erick didnt permit one other second to go.

That single further second allowed him to see extra of the impact upon the primary planet, overhead, and that was sufficient to let him know what was occurring, considerably.

The issue had began as a Redding of the japanese edges, nevertheless it had quickly proceeded right into a Purple-drilling, like somebody was pelting the planet with an limitless, impossibly massive wash of disintegrating Purple raindrops

Ah. Erick stated, That is the Whirlpool.This chapter is up to date by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Erick had Named the assault, and the true nature of the assault appeared to him.

Silent and all of a sudden there, all the house exterior of Fenrirs Scheme had grow to be a torrential spinning wash of particulates, like a storm of [Erasure Bolt]s. That Whirlpool, like a corona of loss of life, discharged from the Scheme and washed from east to west, nearly like an uncountable ocean of fish.

Fish, eh? Extra fish, too. Nothanganathors day out fish chomp had been his opening transfer towards Erick and it had despatched Erick many many years and Layers away. And right here now there have been extra fish. Erick questioned if Nothanganathor had leaned into that as a result of he was a leviathan, or as a result of he had been near Margleknot who was additionally Yggdrasil who liked fish. Or possibly he simply appreciated fish? Erick liked scarlet king, himself. Nice consuming, that one.

It was a subject for an additional day.

Specializing in the assault, Erick knew this was not a easy assault that might be mitigated by his work alone. They’d ready for this.

Erick Stepped over to Solomon, who was frozen in time in his Black Citadel, standing round in a room stuffed with instruments to forestall no matter may come. He was in his regular physique, a hand half prolonged towards the instrument that he had in all probability acknowledged that they wanted lengthy earlier than Erick had realized the identical. It was the Ocean Calmer, the factor Solomon had taken from the Black Gate to make use of towards a theoretical Whirlpool.

Solomon had good instincts, however he couldnt actually use them proper now.

Solomon was not truly frozen in time. It was extra like Erick had stepped exterior of time. Erick thought of bringing Solomon to this angle for a second. Solomon in all probability couldnt deal with this angle for very lengthy, however he was a True Wizard so assumptions had been greatest left elsewhere. Erick couldnt truly convey Solomon into this body of sight with out actively working towards Solomons energy, although, and Solomon had a whole lot of energy.

So Erick requested him, Hey. Wish to be part of my perspective for a minute?

Slowly, absolutely, Solomon flickered gold and silver, after which his eyes started to maneuver. Slowly, he checked out Erick. Slowly, he started to hurry up.

He was utilizing [Haste] magic to hurry himself up, although. He wasnt merely exterior of time. Hed in all probability attempt that trick quickly sufficient, however there was no want for him to go losing willpower like that proper now.

Erick held out a hand towards Solomons hand, Desire a enhance?

Solomon began to say, Sure, however he solely bought out, Yeeeeeeee.

It was extra of a high-pitched whine that wasnt even actually there, as a result of it had wanted to maneuver by the air to get to Erick and it wasnt shifting quick sufficient to do this.

Erick took Solomons hand.

Solomon jerked, his physique briefly twisting arduous and nearly rocketing away, however he moved quick sufficient to cancel his personal [Haste] buffs, after which he was there with Erick.

I would like the Ocean Calmer, Erick stated, as Solomon was regaining himself. And I feel this assault is definitely coming at us from a facet slice of this Layer 789.

Then you definitely want the Piercer, too. The Piercer was made to interrupt into hostile gate areas and private demiplanes, so I dont know the way properly its going to work right here, nevertheless it ought to work, or you may make it work. Solomon gestured to a hallway. Take a Peaceable Backyard, too. It was one of many issues we bought from Margleknot. It’d assist make issues play good. We have now 5 of these. Do you wish to save the Whirlpool? I wasnt in a position to take one from the Darkish.

Nah. Im nice with destroying one thing that may try this a lot harm.

Solomon stated, Certain. I’ve to let go, now. Its straining.

A quick little discuss, each of them understanding what they wanted to do. It was good.

Erick let go, and Solomon seemed like he was midway to saying one thing else about how a lot it was hurting him, however there was no want. Blood and damaged crystal had been gathering round his face and mouth and vocal chords, and even on his palms and neck; each half that he had moved with the intention to converse with Erick in Ericks time aside from time. Hed in all probability cough up blood when his time took place…

He could be nice.

If Solomon wasnt a True Wizard then Erick may have very simply imposed his time upon him, however Solomon was principally proof against that kind of exterior interference.

Erick went and picked up the Ocean Calmer and the Piercer. The Calmer was a easy white sphere a couple of meter throughout, whereas the Piercer was a depraved knife made from some black materials. The Peaceable Backyard, within the room down the hallway and to the proper, was certainly one of a number of bonsai-like issues, made with tiny timber that had been truly full grown timber however cultivated small, and a bunch of moss and tiny crystals. Gardens had been one of many foremost exports from the Backyard Universe, and Erick had picked up a number of whereas in Margleknot, as a result of they calmed spellwork down, and that appeared like a good suggestion to have on the time.

When he was executed together with his purchasing journey, Erick Stepped again to the Spellsurge Mountains.

Issues had modified.

Rozeta and Atunir had been there, ready for him, together with Phagar and Melemizargo. Koyabez, Sininindi, Sumtir, and Aloethag, had been additionally current, for the room was nonetheless the identical room that Erick had left, nevertheless it was just like the partitions and other people and tech had been all tucked away into the background, and right here, surrounding the map, was the truest actuality conceivable. Just a few different gods caught out within the background, from Fangorl of the Wilds, to even Demon King Dinnamoth.

Erick tilted his head just a little, to look upon the conventional house. The gods vanished and there have been the time-frozen folks kneeling in prayer and Tenebrae on the cusp of freaking out on the new Redness of the Weaver.

Erick tilted his head again and seemed upon the gods. So weve bought this Ocean Calmer, a Piercer, and a Peaceable Backyard. Anybody bought a desire?

Sininindi stated, Ocean Calmer. Rozeta added, And me. Aloethag stated, Additionally me.

The massive white sphere went to the goddesses.

Koyabez stated, Peaceable Backyard. Atunir added, Me, too. Fangorl simply nodded. Surprisingly, Demon King Dinnamoth joined that possibility, too, saying, And me.

All of them bought the bonsai backyard.

Phagar stated to Erick, In poor health be with the Backyard, too. Everybody not directed anyplace else might be with the Backyard.

Good to know. Erick seemed to the remaining three. Melemizargo, Sumtir, and Zephyrspray. Piercer?

Melemizargo stated, Realm Piercer.

Oh? Not simply Piercer? Erick floated the black dagger to them and Melemizargo didn’t elaborate.

The knife held within the air between the impossibly massive dragon, the warrior of righteousness, and the always-moving goddess of journey.

Issues modified simply exterior of sight, on the opposite facet of imaginative and prescient.

Erick couldnt see it however he may really feel it, so he tilted his head just a little bit to see them higher.

The room was an enormous grand cathedral full of manner too many individuals and manner too many hopes and prayers. All of the gods had been their true selves past that little change in perspective. From Rozetas limitless white physique within the clouds to Sininindis crashing ocean and everlasting adamantium/lightning storm, to the ocean of blood that was Aloethags Purple Dream.

Erick gazed upon that Purple Dream for a second. He noticed orcols and life-after-death and life-in-the-Dream. It had been a very long time since he had participated in that a part of life, right here on Veird, when he had shared a bizarre evening in his thoughts with Mog and Al. Mog was gone now; Erased. Al was a Shade as of late. Based mostly on the Purple nature of Malevolence, a whole lot of orcols had been wanting into renaming the Purple Dream, however the title was the title, and it was caught for now.

Erick righted himself and he stood within the single room-outside-of-time. Is that everybody Ah! Good. Good day.

Shadow and Fairy Moon stepped into the room. An entourage adopted behind them, from Queen Gregarious to Gnowmi to Enchanters Guile, the golden metallic fox padding alongside on a Path of Springtime, like all of the others.

Fairy Moon and all of the fae with flowers of their hair or filth on their pores and skin, stepped over to the Peaceable Backyard with Rozeta and Atunir and many of the gods, all of them intoning collectively, Right here we Stand, on stable Floor.

Gregarious and the water and metallic fae went to the Ocean Calmer with Sininindi, their phrases like a singular echo, Right here we Rise, with washing Tide.

Shadow and the ultimate remainder of the fae stepped towards Melemizargo and the Realm Piercer knife, intoning, Right here we Reduce, with rugged Knife.

Erick remained the place he was, on the management of the system. The [Spellsurge Weave] was an orb of pink glass ribbons changing into a spiraling, increasing, Erasing presence, surrounded by tiny gold dots that had been about to present technique to the flood. Erick wouldnt let that occur.

2,097,152 and 1 planets vibrated.

Erick spoke with thunderous energy, Right here we Crush, Script over Scheme.

The encirclement gonged.

She simply grabbed the strains and the ship got here collectively just a little bit extra. Her magic was working prefer it ought to have as soon as once more, although she solely had naked trickles of mana flowing the way it ought to. 10 mana right here. 20 mana there within the subsequent minute. This Private Script was all types of various and he or she didnt belief it, nevertheless it was what she wanted proper now. What all of them wanted.

The siblings moved silently, working as a workforce, the brother on the wheel, the sister on the sails, and the girl at conserving the ship itself collectively, as they at all times had earlier than.

One thing like hope kindled of their hearts as they sailed towards the solar, sitting within the ocean.

– – – –

The anti-Whirlpool ritual had gone off with no hitch, after which every thing grew to become a hitch. Not in the best way Erick had anticipated, although.

Erick had been watching Fenrir for some time at this level. For everybody else, the final three days had been 3 days. For Erick, it had been 29 days, or one thing like that. Or possibly 229. He knew the precise time, however he tried to not suppose in these types of the way.

Erick had been watching Fenrir.

He knew the place to strike to eradicate their constructed up forces. He additionally knew that most people down there weren’t evil in any respect, nor had been they believers within the Purple. However some folks had been. Throughout the encirclement, three days had handed for each Veird and Fenrir, and sure components of Fenrir had moved considerably with the intention to do no matter they wished to do to combat again towards the approaching encirclement.

Then the encirclement had completed, and Nothanganathor had struck again with some kind of semi-tamed Whirlpool. He had initiated his assault not from the Godpact world, however from part of the multiverse of Layer 789 that contained no Veird in any respect. Nothanganathor had executed some Wizardry with some artifacts of some type, little question, so the results of the Whirlpool had been focused to this God Pact slice of Layer 789. The precise Whirlpool had been over right here, the place Erick now floated.

Erick hadnt spent any time in any respect on the opposite slices of this multiversal battle as a result of chasing somebody by infinity was a fools errand in too some ways to depend. From the truth that Erick was targeted on the godpact world, to the truth that infinity was infinity Erick had left the multiverse alone.

Nothanaganthor had unleashed the Whirlpool from the multiverse.

On this house, an excellent hundred-Fenrir-wide swaths of actuality had been subsumed right into a washing, crashing, spilling maelstrom of ripping and tearing black-white-blue. No Purple; not except you counted the pink a part of the spectrum of sunshine as Purple, and Erick definitely didnt. There wasnt any extra pink than there was inexperienced or orange or yellow, that means not a lot in any respect. The Whirlpool was already dying down and all of the Purple magics that had targeted it onto the Godpact Veird had been gone, as a result of the ritual Erick had executed with the gods and the fae had killed Nothanganathors controlling spellwork. This space was now a dead-end of the struggle. With out a mana ocean to eat and dwell inside, the Whirlpool was the identical as any evaporating black gap; it had a lifespan.

Erick floated far exterior of the former-Fenrir system, as a black dragon, far-off from the Godpact world, watching because the very universe itself twisted right into a roil. It crashed and imploded and shortly it might die. Perhaps 150 years? Exhausting to know, and Erick didnt really feel like venturing into the longer term to verify of any timeline; that might give solidity to Nothanganathor successful this struggle.

Checking up on this finish of Veirds Crushing Ritual was simply checking a field off, too. One in all many alternative bins that Erick had checked off within the final 6 actual hours, and several other thousand subjective hours.

He Stepped again to the Godpact Veird, to orbit, above the Northern Spellsurge Mountains. One other Step introduced him again right down to the Weaver, and to the management room of Plan Encompass and Eat.

The meters-wide white sphere that had been the weaver map, surrounded by gold dots, and which had been briefly attacked by the Purple Whirlpool, was now a easy, stable blue sphere, like a tranquil ocean. A gnarled tree grew up from the bottom and grabbed onto the blue sphere, its branches wrapped across the sphere like a woven fact. The tree itself glowed just a little, sensible white within the cracks and with tiny flaming inexperienced leaves and a rainbow kind of gentle round it. It was not Yggdrasil, nevertheless it was an offshoot of the large man.

The monks and the singers and all of the individuals who had made this factor work had been gone; on to the remainder of their life, into totally different plots and plans for Fenrir. Just a few totally different monks had moved in after the ritual.

The altars to Atunir, strewn all through the room and across the former map, had been altered irrevocably, and so had the Spellsurge mountains. Atunir had her prayerstones right here and there, in fact, with cornucopias of meals pouring forth in stone aid, however most of that was gone. The place as soon as there have been prayerstones solely to fertility and area, there have been now prayerstones to Rozeta for good magic, or prayers to Phagar for a Good Finish or asking him to remain away for some time longer. Peaceable Koyabez stood in aid on the wall over there, his palms holding damaged swords. Righteous Sumtir held a sword aloft over there, shining vivid and carving by sparks. Aloethag had her Rage. Others had different powers on show in palms, and in gestures. After which there have been the stone shapes of the fae, hiding right here and there on the perimeters of all the remainder of the house. All was executed in stone. None of it held shade. The one shade within the room was the blue sphere, gently glowing beneath the branches of the softly white and inexperienced tree that held it within the heart.

The roof of this ritual house was gone.

Up above, past a moons distance, lay a planet that glowed like a solar.

Mushy white gentle shone down into this house, however this house was nonetheless principally blue within the heart.

The form of the opening within the roof and the brightness of the moon up there kinda made all of it appear like a watch. A vivid white eye. Melemizargo didnt have an altar right here, however he was nonetheless very current within the Darkness of each nook, and in overwatch, up above.

The monks of all of the gods had been nonetheless shifting in, however Kromolok, the Excessive Inquisitor of Rozeta, was already right here.

The incani-shaped white wrought stepped into the white and blue gentle with Erick, grinning as he stated, You look exhausted.

I’m pooped.

Kromolok chuckled. Thats in regards to the weirdest slang I’ve ever heard from you.

Erick stood up straight. How goes it?

It goes. Kromolok stated, Plan Encompass and Eat completed 6 hours in the past after which this Crushing addendum labored fairly properly. Rozeta is handing out Private Scripts on behalf of the complete Pantheon He glanced away, after which seemed to Erick. Which implies your Mark is now out to about 500 million folks. Barely a fraction of a p.c of a p.c of the folks down there. We will additionally see the opposite facet of Fenrir, now. The within. There are considerations, however youre checking off these considerations even now. He requested, So how are you feeling, Erick?

Erick sighed.

Erick was drained. He hadnt lied about that.

The result of Plan Encompass and Eat had resulted in them Crushing the magics down there, after which reordering the magics of Fenrir itself. Solomon had been concerned with that, however so had all the opposite Related Entities of the Script.

6 hours in actual time lasts quite a bit longer than 6 when you’ll be able to management the place you’re in time.

Erick forged his Gaze to Fenrir, after which additional past, to the solar sitting on the heart.

The inside of Fenrir held extra folks. It was a land just like the land on the outside; a bunch of various lands stolen from this or that place after which strewn upon the floor like peanut butter on bread.

And the solar was only a solar.

No Nothanganathor.

No climactic battle.

Not even any Purple Gods. Not likely. There had been one incident on the market Eh.

Nothanganathor had merely moved away from that model of Fenrir down there, and he had taken all of his toys with him. Or maybe he had by no means been there in any respect. Erick thought the primary possibility was extra probably than the second. He had absolutely been there sooner or later in time

And but when Nothanganathor had dragged Erick to his Wizard-kill-box, that place had been in a distinct slice of Layer 789 the place there was no Fenrir in any respect, and Nothanganathor assuredly crammed the complete floor of that solar together with his back-lit physique.

Erick seemed up on the sun-like moon within the sky, after which he seemed again to Kromolok. I really feel drained and skinny. Drawn in too many instructions without delay, and totally livid and completely happy that there wasnt any ultimate battle proper now. I additionally really feel a fantastic lots of the folks of Fenrir, calling out for assist They need assistance. He chuckled. Kinda worrying that I can hear them like this, too. I already checked in with Yggdrasil so Im not going to get deified, or something like that. Its in all probability the Benevolence Mark within them. All the opposite gods have already begun to ascend larger, although. He gestured to the room round them. I imply, take a look at this. Stone statues! Im positive they might take management of any of them and theyre in all probability watching, however The ritual went very properly, after which what got here afterward went higher. Kinda disheartening to see them as statues as a substitute of as folks, although.

Kromolok stated, Theyre nonetheless there. Similar as at all times. However they’re gods. They do wish to assist their folks simply as a lot as you do, and so they absolutely settle for the facility these persons are giving them, now that the Purple is gone. Their plan to place extra of themselves into their Champions labored properly. Those that had no Champions in any respect even appointed some earlier than they went to Fenrir Have you ever thought of a Champion but?

Ha! Im not a god.

The way in which youre going, there is no such thing as a manner that you simply dont Ascend to godhood of some type.

Erick smiled sadly at that. Yeah. I do know Or a minimum of I think that consequence to be true, too. Yggdrasil is doing all he can, however for sure individuals who do an excessive amount of These folks have to maneuver to Margleknot full time or else they Ascend as an thought, as a substitute of an individual. Im hoping that with Yggdrasil right here that we will make this place simply pretty much as good for that exact want. Yggdrasil appears to suppose we will.

There are totally different choices for you.

Oh positive. Heaps.

Kromolok frowned just a little. Im simply gonna come out and say it. Erick. Have you ever requested Melemizargo for a Mantle? No? Why not. You might simply be a solar god. Melemizargo even has that Mantle of Mild.

Asking questions and answering them your self isnt very cool, Kromolok, Erick stated, grinning. Kromolok stated nothing. He stared. Erick sighed. He hasnt supplied, and I’ve not requested.

Did you grow to be self-destructive once I wasnt wanting?

Erick huffed fun. To not my data.

Kromolok was not amused. Lots of occasions are occurring all of sudden on the market, and also you helped. You probably did a substantial amount of the precise work. I see you, Erick. And I see how the folks take a look at you. Even Im feeling a slight rush of divinity proper now, however Rozeta felt that and he or she started to siphon it away. You may need solely seen me as a coworker. However Ive been the Excessive Inquisitor of Rozeta for 1453 years or extra, relying on the way you depend this Lengthy Yr. I used to be there on the very creation of the Script, as one of many first wrought to exist. I’ve led Forgotten Campaigns and executed civilizations for crimes towards actuality. I’ve been on the tough facet of the sunshine for a protracted whereas. However Ive additionally been a savior, as certainly one of Rozetas strongest claws.

Rozeta killed her Purple Reflection simply. Many of the different gods did the identical. However the true energy is coming from those that bought a Private Script. Your Benevolent Mark is giving out Quests for folks to avoid wasting themselves Lots of Quests.

They suppose Rozeta made it. Rozeta is generally simply documenting it. All she did was hand them out to individuals who actually wanted them.

And divinity is flowing to the Pantheon and Yggdrasil has planted himself in a number of areas already.

Melemizargo and Rozeta and the Pantheon are experiencing the biggest rise to energy that any of them has ever skilled, and youre alongside for the trip. Kromolok requested, So? Do I’ve to fret about you, or are you dealing with it?

I admire your concern, and the way you laid out the complete breadth of your concern, however I’m nice.

Kromolok held his tongue, after which he switched subjects. Is that this the model of you earlier than all of the stuff youve executed on the market, or the one in spite of everything that stuff?

Erick chuckled at that. Sadly, this one is simply the one which did all of the background work to get this entire factor functioning nice. I feel I spent a yr down within the depths of Fenrir, cleansing out Purple infestations and different shit. I blasted just a few unhealthy actors with some [Grand Reincarnation]s. I checked out every thing round all the large battles However now I’ve to go do these battles. He sarcastically stated, It might have been good if all the Purple Gods would have left to wherever the opposite ones all went. As it’s I simply have to assist kill Nevertheless many there have been.

Three, Kromolok stated. We solely noticed three god battles, principally executed by Champions. Rozeta and her Purple copy. The Shades towards the Shades. You solely appeared at one. Oozy didnt present up in any respect… He eyed Erick. Must you, maybe, go to another Layer and take a break?

Erick waved a hand. I spent some time in a [Time Out] to get better some. Im simply feeling stretched. Its taking a scorching minute to relax, and this was an excellent time for that calming, which is why I’m right here, at this second in time.

One of many causes he was right here, anyway.

Erick Flatt, [105-ish] [Current Location: Layer 789; Veird, year 1453]

Mana cut up; Soul, Physique, Thoughts: 31%, 30%, 30%

Reson allocation price: 9%

Resons: 1.2t [+8,239 = +915]

Erick stated, Immediately value me over a quadrillion mana and 90 trillion resons, and now its time to go to battle. I principally got here right here to solidify this consequence. Its a complete lot simpler to make the proper current occur right here on Veird than it’s on Fenrir; and that’s the reason I’m right here, to solidify this a part of Infinity. Infinity itself is splayed extensive open down there and now I must get to bringing all of that collectively.

Kromoloks face went arduous and anxious, like he had a whole lot of sudden considerations, from questioning if he was in a failed universe to questioning the validity of their arduous fought wins.

Erick watched him have his considerations, and he waited.

Kromolok requested, Can the gods truly deal with it? Or are they altering within the new atmosphere, too?

Erick stated, Surprisingly, or possibly unsurprisingly, the truth that all of them knew what was coming down the road by the worship-attack has allowed them a whole lot of energy to withstand it. They’re their Mantles and themselves, in spite of everything. The Purple Gods are simply figments, and so they had been simply slaughtered from what I noticed. However, talking of battles obligation calls!

Erick Stepped away.

Kromolok stayed there, standing within the blue gentle of the orb, held by the timber branches. Ten thousand tendrils of thought arced away from his physique. He was nonetheless busy, too, even when it seemed like he was doing nothing in any respect however considering the current

However there was definitely a whole lot of contemplation happening.
