Chapter 1242 - 751: Rising Up (Part 1)
When the full moon leapt from the distant horizon, Malin witnessed the most magnificent Milky Way he had ever seen in his life.
The Sequence belonging to the Star Observer lit up once again after a long silence, and Malin returned to that flat Starry Sea. Just as the ladder of the old Agent began to light up, Malin saw the line continue to ascend, and in an instant, the Sequence of the scholars of the old era was illuminated, emitting a new beam of light.
Malin watched the beam rise all the way up, almost without any delay, breaking through the second ladder, which should have been the Sequence of the Ancient Book Collector, but at this moment, a new Sequence appeared there — the Witness.
A Sequence whose origin was unknown stood there, and then new beams continued to rise, until Malin watched as the Sequence of the Star Observer was lit.
Star Observer... How did I light up this Sequence?
With doubt, Malin noticed the mechanized version of himself appear before him.
"It’s been a long time since we last met, yet it feels as if we just met today. Another timeline’s version of me, you’ve already reached this point." The mechanized Heartless Melo looked at Malin with a mechanical smile.
"Yes, I’ve reached this point, too. I want to isolate our world from the Subspace." Malin said — with Melo present, there was no worry of their conversation being overheard by outsiders.
"Sounds nice, another self of mine, do you know what the meaning of the world is?" But the Heartless’s question left Malin silent. After some thought, Malin suddenly realized the problem — indeed, usually, the world refers to the world beneath human feet, as humans are bound by gravity to the point of forgetting that the world beneath them is but a tiny part of the true world.
"The true world refers to... the universe we’re in?" Malin looked up at Melo, who nodded: "Yes, it seems your soul is no longer bound by gravity. Let me tell you, if you want to sever the link between your world and Subspace, you need to become a great being like the Nameless. At least, someone like me can’t do it."
