Chapter 246 Reality Test — Vox Veritas
"Existential Test: Active."
"Constants of Reality: Verified Through Memory and Will."
"Present proof that you are not an illusion in disguise."
Rinoa held Fitran's hand tightly, as if the uncertainty in the atmosphere threatened to separate them. An anxious silence enveloped the space, each breath feeling like an unspoken burden, while an invisible energy softly vibrated around them, flowing like a gentle stream that hinted at the greater and deeper secrets of the universe.
"He doesn't need our power. He wants to know... if we are truly ourselves."
In that moment, the dim light surrounding them was painted in calming hues of blue and purple, creating a tapestry of elegance that enveloped the atmosphere with a sense of wonder. Fitran felt his heartbeat resonate in harmony with the energy around them, as if connected to a greater force.
Fitran nodded slowly, bowing his head with newfound conviction. "If we've ever been lost among possibilities, now is the time to reject all forms of falsehoods."
In this empty vacuum of space, the resonance of their words formed sound waves that vibrated across dimensions, beckoning a more powerful entity to manifest. Questions about existence hung in the air, enveloping them in an aura thick with mystery, drawing them deeper into an unexpected reality.
Phase I: Reflection on Existence
The mandala of light beneath them glowed brightly, radiating a light that seemed alive in a harmonious dance. In the blink of an eye, the world around them evaporated into a dim nothingness.
They stood in an empty gray room, the absence of sky above and ground below creating the sensation of being awake in a dream. Only two circles were visible: one beneath Fitran and the other beneath Rinoa, each containing the power of time travel, tempting them to unveil the hidden stories buried between dimensions.
