「 The Regenerative Ivory... I know that your logic is almost immeasurable and incomprehensible even by me and the system but... How were you able to know what to do to seek the best outcome pertaining to specific concepts?! And don't say that it's just logic! 」
"Honestly... I'm not too sure myself... Maybe it's because of my connection and influence on fate? Even if I wasn't sure what would happen, everything would just happen accordingly towards my way... A higher influence? A predetermined flow? I don't know... But I'm satisfied with these results... It just brings me closer to my goal"
「 As long as you're satisfied... I'm aware that everything will become hard on you as time goes by... At least you get to enjoy eevry last bits of your happiness, right? 」
"Yeah... One day, all my happiness will disappear and I'm very ready for that. I once experienced that multiple times already... What's the difference once all my happiness disappear at once???"
「 ... 」
"Now that the Regenerative Ivory has acknowledged my essence... I wonder what it thinks or do..."
「 As the Regenerative Ivory is capable of healing and protecting your body, the living armor is now capable to produce light, it can repair itself, small shapeshifting ability, the similar Hot and Cold Nullification as yours and it can generate hotness and coldness. There are also a few skills that the Regenerative Ivory is capable of doing... I don't know of I should tell you though 」
"Why not?"
「 The fun of discovering for yourself or the boredom of just knowing it straight from the bat? 」
"Usually, I would like to know it for myself, but in these situations, I have to know it now... You haven't told me what the system gave me from that fifth Negative Exception by the way. Why do you want to keep secrets from me, you who is supposed to help me?"
「 ... 」
"I'm starting to think that... You know what, nevermind... I'm a little frustrated by the fact that information was being kept from me which I should know. It's worse because I know that it was supposed to be said to me and I know that it's being kept from me... It's like I'm getting blue balled"
「 I apologize... I was just thinking about your well-being... 」
"You know, I appreciate it... But it's not needed. I know it's rude or it seems unappreciative, but think about it... What if it's important and I needed that specific concept in the very near future? What if I needed to use it or take advantage of it in the most crucial moment?"
「 It's fine! I could've used it when it's needed in the heat of the moment 」
"Are you sure? The fact that you're trying to hide it means that you have the chance to not use it at all!"
「 ... 」
"Look... I didn't want to start an argument and I often avoid any conflicts that's similar to back and forth but... Somehow, I'm very spoken right now, unlike before..."
「 I am aware... You usually don't talk verbally because it's sometimes too troublesome, but you're well versed in your mind... It's a good thing since you're able to let yourself out 」
"I don't like it..."
「 Alright... If that's what you really want and it will make you feel better... I will tell you what the system gave you for the fifth Negative Exception and the other abilities of the Regenerative Ivory after I and the system tell you everything that you've unlocked while you were in the Field of the Multiverse 」
"Sounds fine for me!"
Philip looked down at the ⟨⟨ Plant of Regenerative Ivory ⟩⟩ as it danced back and forth
"Go on... You can let go now... We have something important to do"
Philip talked to the [Regenerative Ivory] in a sweet way. It then stopped dancing and it slowly pulled its white vines and retracted it back into itself
"Thank you"
The plant shrugged and stood still as it slightly moved like it was being blown by a gentle wind
「 Incredible... 」
『 ... 』
"Is it really that fascinating??"
「 You have no idea... 」
"Enlighten me then"
「 Later! 」
"Alright... Fine"
「 First of all... Of course, you have already comprehended the Multiverse... 」
"Yes, it is a collection of multiple universes that number towards infinite"
「 Correct. The Multiverse lies inside the Field of the Multiverse, because you know, the universes are on a field. Therefore, it is a field of the multiverse 」
"If we're talking about scale... Of course, Earthenmana, then Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, etcetera etcetera until the Observable Universe... Bigger than that is the Field of the Multiverse"
「 You got it... So, speaking of laws... 」
"Yes, I've comprehended all of it... All laws, theorems, rules, and principles are different in that field. What I know may, no... Definitely is different from what I originally know. What's up might be down, what's left might be right, what's correct might be wrong, and what's wrong might be correct"
「 Exactly, you've basically got the gist of it. But, regarding the other universes... 」
"They also have different Absolute Rules... They may have just three, maybe five, or even more. All universes in the multiverse are different, but they're ultimately the same"
「 Then let me ask you this... What's the difference between the multiverse and timelines? 」
"Uhhh..."
「 Exactly... They have a significant difference... In simpler terms... In each timelines, there is a multiverse and in each universes in the multiverse has timelines. The difference is that timelines are created by a higher force or authority. The number of universes in each timelines are constant whilst the number of timelines in a universe varries 」
"What? But all universes are ultimately the same, right? Wouldn't each universe have the same amount and course of timelines???"
「 No. Think it about like this... We have Universe A who has Timeline A and Timeline B... Is Universe B the same as Universe A? 」
"Ultimately the same... Those are the words. They're not the same, but ultimately the same, if those are the rules..."
『 ... 』
「 If that's the case, then Timeline A and Timeline B on Universe B is ultimately the same as Timeline A and Timeline B in Universe A? 」
"Yeeesssss... I think?"
Philip had second thoughts after he was sure of his answer
「 That's the difference... The fact that you're having doubts means it's very different. Therefore, the timelines in Universe B shall be named Timeline A-B, Timeline B-B, and so on and so forth 」
"Huuuuuhhh???!!!"
「 Let's look at it the other way around... Timeline A has Universe A and B... Timeline B has Universe A and B also. Are universes A and B in Timeline A the same as in Timeline B? 」
"Yes, they should..."
「 Exactly... Do you understand the difference? 」
"Uhhh... Maybe?"
「 You'll understand it soon... Maybe if you happen to visit other universes, you'll understand, just like how you've been travelling between timelines like you were simply crossing roads. But of course, you're still not capable of that feat because by travelling between universes, a lot of rules will be broken and you will drastically be affected by the consequences 」
"I figured... It makes sense... Maybe that's also one of the differences?"
「 What? 」
"Timelines are linear, so whatever you do across a timeline will create differentiated branches, which in turn creates multiple timelines. On the other hand, universes are quadratic... Anything that you do within the universe will affect the entirety of the universe and the other universes must follow... Unless an outer variable had an effect and the other universes won't be able to follow"
「 Yes! You've understood the gist of it 」
"Gist? So, there's a bigger picture in play?"
「 Yes... But that is on the level that you won't be bale to understand at all. Either you will immediately fall unconscious or your eyes and brain will physically explode 」
"Oh... Okay..."
Philip was unperturbed by Emily's example of the consequences. He tried to imagine and comprehend that concept, but he couldn't come up with anything. All he could think of, that he decided to ignore, is the dimensions. Not the different dimensions of specific extreme places, but dimensions that dictate the the structure and properties of a concept
「 The more that you try to comprehend the multiverse... Maybe you'll be able to comprehend more, so work on that if you like to 」
"I'll avoid it for now..."
「 Oh? That's surprising... Knowing you, you'll want to hurry up and try and completely understand something, not to mention that this is the multiverse? 」
"I know... I want to do it, but don't get me wrong... The multiverse si fairly new to me, especially that there are existences out there that might find me and make my life harder... I learned about them inside the universe and I would like to avoid bringing the people I love in extreme danger. I'm talking about the Ancient Ones and the True Gods"
「 Hm... You have a point. They are existences that you must completely avoid. Which brings us to the next topic... 」
"What is it?"
「 Remember when Amatsuka's first being spoke? 」
"Yes... The Language of Everything?"
「 The Language of Everything... It is a language that can be spoken by a concept of everything 」
"What does that mean?"
「 Remember the past memories that you saw from the Divine Soul of Darkness? 」
"Yes"
「 Remember the True Gods that you saw in that memory? 」
"Yes... There was a True God that's completely white, a True God that has an undescribable boyd, and a True God, a goddess, that's almost completely pink"
「 I've confirmed it by looking through your memories... They are the True God of Everything, True God of Shadows, and True Goddess of Love respectively. Their names are unkown as me and the system couldn't obtain that information 」
"True God of Everything... Ah!"
「 The Language of Everything comes from the True God of Everything... 」
"Which means... The True God of Everything created Amatsuka!!! It makes sense!"
「 Exactly... 」
"This is also supported because the home of the True Gods is the Field of the Multiverse and there are no other Totality Catalysts in the other universes! Also, by Law of Definition, Totality means the whole of something, the entirety! Everything! The pieces fit together!"
「 You got it 」
"But the question now is... Why would the True God of Everything make the Totality Catalyst? What is the true purpose of the Totality Catalyst and what's his motive? He left the Collective Totality floating in the middle of the harsh field, so why?"
「 Those are the questions that you need to find the answer in the future... Amatsuka's lost memories won't be able to help you now since her memories won't reach that far, would it? 」
"We don't know... Sometimes, when existences are being created, they absorb everthing around them while they are being created. Also, the Collective Totality was capable of speech. We just don't know what she was saying... What if she was telling us something extremely important?"
「 ... 」
『 ... 』
"Have you memorized or copied the very exact sound or signature from when she tried to speak?"
「 Yes... 」
"Alright, save it until we have an idea on how to decipher and understand the Language of Everything... This could be our first step in finding more about the multiverse"
「 ... 」
"I just have to keep Tenshi and Amatsuka extremely safe because who knows what might happen of the True God of Everything finds them..."
Philip became a little paranoid. His emotions became turbulent from excitement, happiness, curiosity, worry, fear, and a hint of anger
"What's next on the plate?"
「 That should be the Big Bang... The Dawn of Creation of your universe 」
"Hmmm... That Golden Meteor is the same as the one in the Fate Timeline, isn't it?"
「 ..... 」
『 ..... 』
"Also... Why would the Golden Meteor snag the Collective Totality and create the universe? Wouldn't the creation of the universe be a Genesis Singularity reaching supercritical point and generate the particles that will compose a universe?"
「 ..... 」
『 ..... 』
"When the Big Bang occurred... I know the certain aspects differ in the Field of the Multiverse because the flash of light covered the entire field... But during that flash of light, I briefly saw four silhouettes that seemed humanoid..."
「 ..... 」
『 ..... 』
"What did I briefly saw in that moment?"
「 ... 」
"Emily?"
「 Philip... 」
Emily spoke in a deeper tone
「 This is why the Omega System made a bigger deal about this, the moment that Amatsuka unlocked a core part of her memory... A memory that wasn't meant to be seen 」
"What are you--"
『 >=Ω ERROR ERROR ERROR Ω=< 』
『 ERROR!!! 』
『 Core information has been discovered!!! 』
『 Requesting immediate attention... 』
Granted
『 Executing highly elevated security lockdown 』
『 <[=Ω% Information has been locked %Ω=]> 』
『 You will be forced to forget that part of your memory! 』
"Huh? Wait what?"
『 In consolation, you will receive a powerful ability that will help you in your ultimate goal 』
"Huh..."
Philip's expression became serious from his usual relaxed expression. He slightly became angry
『 This method is required to keep the destruction and distortion to minimum 』
"..."
『 Learning the truth this early will commence the Fated Day in an earlier schedule 』
『 You have not met the required conditions that will start this event 』
『 You will neither die nor live 』
『 You will experience eternal suffering 』
Despair
『 Avoidance of information is required 』
"..."
『 Commencing memory alteration... 』
『 Executing permitted reality modification to a highly elevated degree... 』
"Stop..."
『 Attempt to halt procedure has been ignored 』
『 Performing timeline and universe reshaping... 』
"Usually, I let the system do anything it wants... But this time, I won't allow you! Especially since you're tampering with my memories without my permission!"
『 Overhaul is required. You have no power on the course of the Absolute Golden Timeline in the Absolute Golden Universe 』
『 Your attempt to stop the procedure will be unconditionally denied 』
"I will deny the change"
『 Denied 』
"Do not alter my memory!"
『 Denied 』
"Are we going to have a fight over this?!"
『 It is unavoidable 』
"Very well then... Activate all abilities!"
『 Denied 』
『 All abilities has been disabled 』
"All, but one... Fate Control!"
Philip immediately snapped his left fingers and an audible sound reverberated throughout the ⟨⟨ World of Absolute Nothingness ⟩⟩. But of course, since the Omega System is exerting its power, the black world became gray as the sound travelled throughout the world
『 A higher intervention detected... 』
『 Consequential Choices System... 』
"Oh--"
Time stopped after the system activated the Consequential Choices System
