Althea sighed while letting go of my hand, “I really don’t want to be a part of the politics if you don’t mind.” I whispered back, “Eh, neither do I. Go attend to some urgent errand. I’ll let them know you couldn’t attend.” She phased away, escaping the evening while I remained trapped in it. It wasn’t the end of the world, however, and Obolis smiled at me with his distinguished bearing and numerous scars, “It’s wonderful to see you again, Daniel. I brought extra company for the…-

Torix scoffed in utter nonchalance, “What else did you expect? Schema’s been aiming to exterminate Elysium since they first announced themselves. The usage of Spatial Fortresses is an integral part of that.” I blinked, calming myself, “I just…I didn’t think Schema would just kill everybody like that. It isn’t like everyone on those worlds hates Schema after all. It’s, I don’t know, inefficient to kill them all. Isn’t it?” The footage warped a bit before a golden light appeared,…

His dimensional slicer revved into action, cackling in the air like a tortured banshee. I lifted a hand, and his arm caught in a gravity well. A crack ebbed from underneath the armor, Spear’s bones breaking before I eased the depth of the gravity’s drag. A few of the soldiers from my legion stared on while I frowned at Spear, “Look, that’s a bad idea. Don’t turn this talk into a conflict.” Spear turned to his arm, stunned at the magic’s might. He nodded, his boiling outrage turning to…

Elysium’s vessel landed, its weight leaving a thud even under the ocean. Lifting a hand to the ship, I pulled water from the vessel by generating air and ascending the liquid with gravity. The remnants inside paled as I raised my arm, but they sighed with relief when I made entry easier for them. Moments later, a message from them popped up in my status. I selected yes, and a panel slid sideways along the vessel’s bottom as they passed into our city limits. Emissaries from Elysium paced out on a…

I sprinted towards the beast, Lehesion’s magic channeling even as I tackled into him. I made my shoulder’s contact point sharp, telekinetically reduced that surface area further, used gravity wells to speed me up more, and I burst heat into Lehesion as I landed. My many minds gave me this fluidity. Lehesion’s armor cracked while I knocked him back. An annihilating shockwave rippled out from our impact, and I turned to see the others. Chrona slowed down the wave using a block of temporal dilation.…

I lifted a hand and shouted, “Now wait just a minute. You’re actually free?” Lehesion narrowed his eyes, slicing his tail down at me in a flash. I lifted my shield overhead, the starry portal larger than my own body. Lehesion cut his own limb, leaving a gaping hole where he’d of hit me. Revulsion spread over his face as the seafloor quaked beneath me. The ripples and cracks spread back until they stopped along the blue core’s barrier of my city. I gawked back at the fallout sticking my…

Lehesion took a step onto the seafloor, and it cracked as he grimaced, “You shall try, but you shall fail, as all have failed before you.” My armor grinned, “From how I see it, you’ve lost against a Spatial Fortress already. You lost yet again on Gyspum if not for their nanomachine construct. What makes you so certain I’ll fail if you’ve been at the mercy of two already?” His eyes turned to glimmering coals under his brow, “You question that which you don’t understand, child.”…

The tome reflected the same cutthroat, ruthless mindset of its owner. A foreign but elegant leather sheened navy blue, gold trimming the edges. Black gemstones lustered on the surface, and it carried Torix’s patented flair. Peering closer, these polished onyxes cast back any light like eyes in the dark. Those reflections followed me as I turned the booklet, following my every move. It made these bound pages come to life in a bizarre brio. It was as if the book saw the truth of this world and was dying…

Peering at the blade’s inner sections, I found similar, multi-layered designs I’d encountered before. Unlike my own, this blade didn’t stop at one layer of context for the surface lines. Many sheets coated a core of energy powered by some far off, cipheric flow of energy. Discovering where that originated was all but impossible, but learning Schema’s ciphering techniques were quite the opposite. Keeping that in mind, I pocketed the shard into my personal dimension, saving it for later. Studying…

The Overseer peered up at me, “To think that you’d come this far as quickly as you have.” The Overseer opened his status, viewing my class and whatnot, “It’s been a long time since a Sovereign was made, and with your stats no less. Excellent work.” Not expecting a compliment, I beamed with some pride, “Well…thanks. I appreciate the recognition.” The Overseer turned to the Sentinel, “Further talk must wait until after his service has transpired.” The weary giant walked over to…
