Chapter 2450
The final barrier melted away. At the same time, a resonance began to emerge, with Randidly as the core.
Randidly felt the confusion and fear immediately from Laplace, curdling the air and weakening its world-state image that had so damaged time. His own Grand Fate gleefully pounced forward and began to rapidly establish its dominance in the unprotected environment. Yet Randidly stood still as the barrier in front of him disintegrated into a million glittering pieces, leaving the animating shape of Laplace exposed.
The resonance… felt strange.
Congratulations! Your Grand Fate Temporal Thaumaturgy Mends Eternity has grown to Level 1392!
Congratulations! Your Nether Penance Empty Vessel Fosakes the Path has grown to Level 1392!
“I will slaughter you all!” Laplace screeched, all of its grim self-possession evaporating in the face of a genuine threat. Yet with the opening, its rigid temporal weapons swiftly became unwound. The Eternity suddenly seemed too weak, so vulnerable.
All that remained was the decisive strike. Yet Randidly felt Tiamat’s hand on his shoulder and understood the intention of his image. He felt a similar trembling from his Nether Core, giving him the same warning. His eyes glowed as he suddenly saw how to move forward was to return to a Path.
Even though Randidly could step forward through the widening door, he lingered at the edge. He slowly drew the Alchemist’s Passport back and stored it away. Energies lashed back and forth, wrapping the two in a sea of chaotic collisions. Yet Randidly’s mind remained fixed on calculations. The Alchemist began to laugh.
This is a Pinnacle Event, or the closest I will come to one. I created the shape, even if not all the details are right… Randidly felt the rich energy that the step would bring him; transgressing the boundary would eliminate the last fragment of Laplace’s defense and allow Randidly to unmake this Eternity, even if it would probably be a slow and agonizing process for Laplace to actually die. The resonance urged him forward.
