Novel Bin Chapter 545 The End Of An Era
"You know, I had forgotten about that part until now," I smiled and then sat down while standing, but not floating while also not touching the ground... at the same time.
The dragon growled, and then I was placed inside a three-dimensional that brought my mind back to the center.
"Even with all the stolen power you have, the 4th dimension is still outside of your comprehension," Truth said in my mind, and I nodded.
"Yes, and thank you. I actually feel much better, and not just because I was about to have my brain turned into spaghetti!" I laughed, and the crystalized dragon sighed like it was talking to a child, but I was pretty sure I was much further done on the scale.
"I am no longer angry about my eye, and you have earned it, in my opinion, but that does you little now. While I can see every point that has been and ever will be in here, I have locked my sights on you in the more basic 3rd dimension. Not like I would help you if I could, and truthfully, I am a bit entertained by the outcome of all this. This is not a thing that can happen without certain conditions, and it looks like you have set them in motion."
I laughed again, "Well, at least I have not failed completely. But make no mistake, I still have much to learn."
"You have come quite far for an entity bound within the first three dimensions. Even though you are limited in comparison to me, I can respect your efforts and dedication to understanding more of what lies beyond. You may not be able to comprehend all of my power and knowledge, but there is still much more for you to learn before you reach that level," Truth said as he watched the protagonist from his superior vantage point.
I nodded with a sigh. "I understand. It\'s just hard knowing I\'ll never really be on your level, but I find it even harder to believe that I still hold the power of your eye. It is a pinprick when it is supposed to be filling the entirety of my shell."
Truth chuckled, "It would hardly be entertaining if I let you both go wild, don\'t you think? What about everyone else? I have watched them die and then be reborn, but imagine if you both had the power to change that? This would be interesting, but you learn what kind of stresses your toys can handle after breaking a few. I have restricted you both, that is all. I care nothing for the winners or losers of any outcome; I only want to know how they will end."
I looked down at my hands, shaking my head. Everything was a game or just another form of entertainment to this being. I had talked to Truth before, and nothing about it had changed, but this thing could see every point in time, and it knew how everything would play out. It just didn\'t feel the need to share any of that information with me.
I looked up again, and Truth, it seemed to know what I was thinking.
"My thought processes are far beyond the mere three dimensions of those who inhabit this realm. I am able to see and understand events in their entirety before they occur. To go further, I can observe any point in time, allowing me to witness things that would otherwise be impossible for someone bound only by the boundaries of three-dimensional reality. With this knowledge, I can contemplate the motivations and intentions of every living creature. I can also apply my own rules and limitations as I deem necessary to ensure that things turn out in a way that interests me the most. This thing that you two are doing is an interesting path with blocks and vectoring uncertainties, and I choose to let you play."
"I see," I said quietly, "And what about us? What will happen to us in the end?"
Truth smiled, and his voice held a hint of amusement. "That, my student, is something only time will tell. There is no rush, as always. Some of the greatest things only come out of the most patient of players, and I\'m sure you will not disappoint."
"So what now?" I asked, looking up, but I was sitting on my sofa.
Letting out a long sigh and throwing my hands behind my head as I lay back, I thought about the talk I had just had. Nothing had come of it, and worse, it just reminded me that I was trapped as a player in a game that I had never understood. Yet, while this power had taken my home more than once, it also gave me the possibility to get back what was once lost.
"That is if I can win," I said and stood up. It was time.
I opened a portal, and it opened to the Realm of Darkness, and Nemoria was on the other side with her back turned to me. She didn\'t turn around, so I stepped out and let the portal close behind me as I stepped beside her at the edge of the cliff she was standing on.
"I always wondered what this moment would be like, after so long. I wondered how you might be and if you would still feel the same. After all, I have been seen as your mother this entire time as a cruel joke by that vengeful creature," Nemoria said, and I slipped my hand into hers.
"Well, I did always think that you looked far too young to be my mother," I chuckled as I stared down at the eternal fighting. "Are you going to miss all of this?"
"You mean miss being forced to stab the man I love in the back repeatedly? Hardly, but I am happy that the fate of everything has changed. I was truly worried that we were on a path that would have forced me to rule over everything as something that wasn\'t myself," Nemoria said and turned to me. "But as usual, you have come to my rescue, just like you did back then."
