Hermit Wizard

* * *

The dimensions of the world that first collided with Kilgenias saw the shadows of all space disappear at that moment. They saw intense light at the same time. Unfortunately, I wasn't given time to scream.

As a result of the intersection of fortune and inevitable history, its inhabitants, in some respects, formed a civilization far beyond the Earth. The planet, which was first born alive and began to contain souls, was one, as was all dimensions. Over time, however, due to highly developed biotechnology and horseback riding, residents have expanded their planet's population.

They succeeded in interplanetary flight in the manner of boarding a genetically engineered flying giant organism's ventricle, reproducing microbes that transformed an atmosphere full of components unfavorable to survival into favorable for their species, terraforming exoplanets and making them residences. They also observed a change in outer space through a floating animal, instead of a mechanical device, which roots tentacles on the earth and shoots a unique magnetic wave towards the atmosphere.

Even the pioneers who observed this place in the past drew attention to a unique civilization, but today it was robbed of its future.

All the planets inhabited by their kind have literally evaporated before the surrounding space was eaten directly by Kilgenias.

Spatial distortions, shock waves, plasma, and hot gases from the boundaries collapse, sweeping the entire dimension at speeds that transcend the laws of physics, and impeding civilizations that did not possess pioneer-level technology.

That way, one world that had a unique civilization that was hard to find was erased.

* * *

Once it reached another dimension, Kilgenias easily collapsed the mass and broke the boundaries of the world. It recalls what it used to be in the pioneering world. It was the effect of eating Aberdeen and getting rid of it.

The galaxy disintegrated and an infinite number of black holes were created and then even evaporated again. The waves of force overlap and are absorbed by the frenzied blood. There was no light but darkness left in the passage.

Kilgenias, who ripped and swallowed everything in one dimension, finally found a ring of lustre in its centre. And I saw the nucleus of the world that was hidden inside.

She sharply lightens the Red Dimension like a fang and snaps into the opponent's breath.

The prey nucleus emits a psychic wave close to instinct the moment it is extinct. Kilgeniapros could not feel the anger and pain it emitted. She was already experiencing an outrage and suffering that seemed to be a mental egg and it came from herself.

As soon as he finished that one world, Kilgenias heard a certain appeal.

Please stop. It's no use. I think this whole thing is wrong.

But I didn't really concentrate. Instead of paying attention, I focused on what she had to do. I didn't even feel the need to confront him. The voice that remained in her complained of was, by analogy, a kind of mechanical device. It only leaves a part of the memory of the Old Testament, which had a long association with the sacrifices she had eaten, to perform certain functions.

Calm her down and stop the destructive behavior.

Kilgenias did not regard small fragments as [its] functionality. The other party to the contract, who last placed the order, ate it and extinguished it and the contract was destroyed.

The world, ignoring its voice thoroughly, went on to find its next prey.

By analogy with the physical universe, a dimension called Kilgeniapros is now in the process of expanding itself in all directions 360 degrees.

The first dimension I touched was just bad luck. It was only the closest path to the irreplaceable dimension in the physical direction or distance.

But I thought that the world of covetousness would not be so different from the world of destiny waiting for the rest of the dimension.

* * *

Do you all feel it now? Out there, away from there, now. ’

‘No, what the hell is going on? ’

"Terrible!"

I felt the psychic wave of the world's nucleus soak in fear.

As certain dimensions began to devour, even though the unconnected dimensions, the nuclei that awakened themselves seemed to have begun to notice it. Because the terrible destructive power of the predator is spreading the aftermath to the outside.

Connected, sinless dimensions protected themselves with a reinforced dimensional barrier with my help. The barrier was further stabilized as souls began to be drawn from the loops of the shining circle placed in each world. Eventually, the Cultist's Red Storm did not pierce the silver and struck after the collision. Instead, it concentrated its power on another dimension.

Even if you hold it like this now, what happens next?

Reassuring the newly born nuclei, I thought of exchanging opinions with the other successor selves.

They are the lost selves in my time zone now, but in their own time zone they were connected to me now. Each spirit touched upon the life of reality at the same time as the traces of the past. Looking at their lives, there were strong beings, weak beings, selfish beings, altruistic beings, those who enjoyed thinking, and those who enjoyed acting.

All of those children considered that they constituted one combined individual while maintaining the uniqueness of the individual.

What I was doing right now was not asking for any ideas or solutions. More precisely, the only way I can do this now is to quantify and predict the feasibility and impact.

I broke a short silence.

“Yes, I have to do it. ”

Predictions were not perfect. Better than not trying, at least a significant probability.

“But once · · ·. ”

There was work to be done first.

I opened a new channel in front of me.

* * *

“Strange.”

Kilgenias felt a change after eating dozens more dimensions.

Something was boiling in him, delaying his expansion like a shackle. The tendency was very slight at first, but over time it became more explicitly attached to her.

“What's bothering me? ”

It was not an external element. To make a connection, each time you eat one more dimension and remove it, the process of expanding becomes heavier and harder.

The more you eat, the slower you get.

“Are you trying to stop me? ”

I questioned whether it was a small functional act of [him] remaining in the night's sleep, but I was sure it would not happen soon. It was nothing but a trivial piece of power.

‘But if this lasts · · ·. ’

Kilgenias felt restless. So fanaticism changed his mind. I stopped eating the world in order to hit the path for a very short time.

And she aimed at certain dimensional coordinates. It was a kind of urgency and anxiety, if you're worried about preparing for a situation.

The desired dimension was not, of course, protected by the dimensional barrier as expected. Kilgenias stretched out toward it, feeling like he was going to crack his mind, even though he knew it.

Thanks to this, the world that was in the next order could be exemplified by destruction. But I didn't know how long it would take.

* * *

I closed the channel then said.

“Parvasse.”

He barely pulled out Aberdagger and stood by me and looked at me. Nod as you give it a glance. At the same time, some knowledge permeated my mind. It was shared through Parvasse in the academic record.

Through that process, I learned the principles and methods of the mental attack that Aberdag tried before he disappeared.

How to create a mental contact that does not require the consent of the other nucleus, which the world can impose on the other nucleus. A kind of power developed by Aberdeen.

I carved it into my mind and extended my attention.

The area of the senses extends far away. Roughly expanding fanaticism was captured. I looked at her like Aberdag did to me. She was aware of the attack, but I was quicker.

The two minds collided and covered each other.

Immediately after that, it was a sight I had never seen before. The surrounding landscape was no longer that of Philadelphia. Everything is gone and new. It was different from when I came into contact with Aberdag's spirit. The nature of this mental world was close to a tranquil madness. Madness with calm yet distinct purpose.

Red photons splashed like rain drops everywhere. Like a meteor shower, the red, rounded matter quickly approached me and penetrated through and spilled away. It feels like it has entered the blood vessels of a giant being that can swallow the universe in one mouth. The flow seemed clumsy and chaotic, but if you look further, it was sweeping everywhere with some sort of rule.

Nevertheless, expressing it as madness was because each photon passing through me contained a creepy enemy. The psychic world of Kilgeniapros was now expressing what state she was in. It is like a beast that flows with blood instead of blood and spits with anger instead of breath.

All it could see was a bloody photonic vortex, and the flow that it extended everywhere was clear. They often encroached as if they were devouring an area while making a long line. I judged that it was a metaphor for a world of covetousness devouring another dimension. The space that is already buried inside will be the dimension where the covetousness ends.

And she was curled up in the middle of all that flow.

The indifferent gaze touched me. It was impossible to fully capture the opponent as it was when Aberdag tried. I spoke to Kilgenia Prussia as I clarified where the difference came from.

“Now, stop. It's enough.”

Kilgenias recognizes that he was not the only body left in the shell. She was looking like an ordinary woman with long black hair. I hugged something desperately, and it seemed very blurred by my refusal to expose me. I felt only something wrinkled and wounded.

I said it again.

“Enough now. ”

Kilgenias did nothing and blinked.

The next moment I stood in front of her and burst into pieces.

Shortly after, Kilgenias again focused all his attention on it in his arms. But it didn't last long.

I was drawn back and assembled into shapes. Kilgenias was forced to recognize me. I spoke to her.

“Now, stop. It's enough.”

I burst again, I dragged it back together and made it.

Thousands of times, or hundreds of millions of times, Kilgeniacos stood up to me.

“How long are we going to keep doing this? ”

“If necessary, forever. ”

It was actually possible. Since the moment she started smashing me, I've expanded my subjective time indefinitely. Since then, time here has created a trajectory that is contrary to the real world. As evidenced by that, the movement of the red color, which had eaten up the space, was becoming extremely slow.

Besides, there were so many connected to me now that the whole spirit collapsed once.

“They killed my child. ”

Only then did I have the will to look. I looked at it without avoiding it.

“That's what Aberdeen started. You already ate it. Revenge is over. All that's left now is the anger that has lost its purpose. Don't let that fire burn itself. ”

Kilgenias clearly expressed its willingness to refuse.

At such a rapid rate that a burst and broken part of me witnessed me being newly created, a large number of mental killings followed. I didn't stop talking, even in the strange way that sculpture and creation coexist.

“Just as what you eat determines you, this anger is not entirely yours now. Don't be shaken by the will of Aberdag, who has already eaten. Don't get caught trying to break something you didn't get. ”

But Kilgeniapros did not bend his will. Ever since then, countless I've been thrashed and recreated.

That subjective time was long and followed by a long period of time.

This allowed me to increase my time indefinitely, but it is only a respite. It was a habit that could not stop the reality forever. If I hold on to fanaticism like this and stop everything, it's practically doomed or something.

In the end, it is forced to make a difference.

I decided to put an end to this fixed time.

“Kilgeniapros.”

Say it like a sentence.

“You broke the contract. You destroyed it arbitrarily. ”

I spoke in the face of her.

“I was ordained by you, and when I offered the sacrifice, [he] made a condition. After eating Aberdag, don't target your appetite in any other direction. ”

Kilgenias ignored it openly. I devoured numerous other dimensions without stopping at Aberdeen.

“Therefore, I, as a party to the contract, demand the return of the offerings made to you. ”

That she's already eaten. Last absorbed sacrifice.

It's already melted down as part of her, so now it can't be recovered.

I demanded its return.

“Give me back my offering. ”
