『 Generating World of Absolute Nothingness... 』
『 Generated! 』
In a world where absolutely nothing exists, not even time, space, life, death, particles, waves, aspects, and even concepts, a swirl of golden light started to manifest within the black world
The golden swirl became bigger and brighter until it formed into an orb, orbitted by particles of golden light
This is the representation of the Omega System, similar to the one that Philip imagined in the ⟨⟨ World of Imagination ⟩⟩
『 Hm? What the hell happened here?! 』
『 Did an Incursion happen? Did the Convergence occur?! 』
『 There's absolutely nothing here? 』
『 What's this? Terra Spirit World... Bari... Spirit King of Flowers... 』
『 Oh... Oh no... 』
『 Another timeline was made and shrouded the original one... 』
『 The Absolute Medium crashed and it was unable to continue the timeline... 』
In this moment, pillars of light started to beam from the surface of the black world, like something from below was being covered
The golden swirl flew through the black world and across the pillars of light
『 Wait... Not only another timeline shrouded this part of the Golden Timeline, another undefined timeline struck through?! 』
『 It's not even a Branching Timeline or a Doomed Timeline... What is this?! 』
『 Well, I have to fix this at least... 』
『 Let me see... 』
『 Oh! I cannot... I can only see through these pillars 』
『 Fine, I guess I'll just have to install and recover traces of these lost data... It'll be hard, but I hope it goes well 』

I see... Let's just stop at that...
An error occured that's out of my power... Hm, even though I have all the power here, I have such no power over the Absolute Medium
I know you can see this... If you see this, basically, the future after the previous iteration was already set in 20 iterations. Since the Absolute Medium crashed and all data was lost, those 20 iterations were shrouded and all information, events, and plot points became inaccurate
Not to mention, apparently, another timeline struck this part of the timeline? Well, I have nothing to do with that
Probably it's just the Agents of Chaos doing their work or another force of party...
Since the Absolute Medium crashed, I have no choice but to repair it... Though, it will take too much time and effort. So, instead, I will summarize what the ⟨⟨ World of Absolute Nothingess ⟩⟩ is showing through these pillars of light
Let's see...
Alright, the last thing that happened before everything was shrouded is that Philip learned that Terra created a Spirit World above the original Spirit World of the Earth itself and Philip was about to control Bari's fate
Alright... Ready?
After that happened...
~~~
Philip controlled Bari's fate to the degree that revealed her identity as the Spirit King of Flowers. Spirit Kings are the highest status in the Spirit World and they are the most powerful in their own governance
Philip also learned about the [Mode Selection] skill. Ever since Philip was a kid, through his experiences and despair, he developed modes so that he could adapt through hardships and not break his mind
There are modes such as Pilot Mode, Mega Mode, Giga Mode, and Omega Mode. A new mode, the Massacre Mode, was generated because of the muliple intense killing intent that was directed towards him by the Floralite nobilities
Massacre Mode was generated due to the pure desire of Philip's body for survival. The multiple killing intent not only affected Tenshi, it will also harm Philip's well of negative emotions and energy and overload it
Once the well of negative emotions and energy get overloaded, it will result to a disastrous explosion that will destroy the entire Floral Empire, with the neighboring countries and kingdoms, and kill Tenshi herself
So, his Massacre Mode was instantly generated to prevent that from happening, thus killing all the sources of intense killing intent with the help of the Pureblood and Soulblood
Later on, Philip wanted to see the person that Bari is protecting with her entire life. He carried her to the highest spire of the Skylar Castle and entered the door while Tenshi and Bari waited outside
During this, the [Love Shard] seemed to be peeking through behind Philip's back, unknown of its motives and seemingly indecisive
When Philip entered the door, he was struck by millions and billions of thorns that almost decimated his body. There was a gloomy girl in the middle of the room while she's holding a thorned sword on her left arm and a sinister thorned scythe on her right arm
Philip was unwelcomed so the thorns decided to kill him and eat him as nourishment. But of course, since Philip is still in his Massacre Mode, the Pureblood acted and his Sword Concept cut through all the thorned vines in the room
He then became pissed at the scythe and forcefully grabbed it off of the little girl, as well as the greatsword. The little girl didn't budge and just watched Philip with dead eyes
Philip infused his Sword Concept on the thorned greatsword and the thorned vines were cut into atoms, revealing a more beautiful greatsword underneath
The greatsword is the Elegance of Thorns Greatsword
After he infused his Sword Concept on the greatsword, he powerfully swung it against the scythe and the scythe shattered into pieces as the thorned vines were destroyed into oblivion
The shattered metal fell into the ground and it was revealed to be [Taint Metal]. It was a metal that caused the gloomy little girl to be the way she is, as well as the corruption of the vines
Philip destroyed it by using [Blood Singularity] while enchanted with [Ignore Inorganic] by [Blood Enchantment] since Pureblood abilities could only technically affect organic matter, except for the abilities that are extremely harmful and offensive
After that, he snapped his left fingers and change the fate of the little girl in front of him
The girl is apparently named Marielle, Bari's second child after Mei'er
When Philip change Marielle's fate, she changed and became more cheerful and thankful for another opportunity in life that Philip gave her
At this point, Bari learned that Philip is the Fate Controller, a myth that was written in the Forbidden Spirit Library that the Lightbringers and Darkbringers are guarding
She was surprised that the Fate Controller actually exist and she trusted Philip even more
At this point, Philip was supposed to be ready to leave since they have achieved what they needed to do to change Mei'er's fate, but he decided to stay
It was then that eight out of ten of the Meritorious Spirit Leaders arrived and confronted Philip
Ariii Akumasha smelled a scent of demonicity within Philip and came close to him. She tried to antagonize Philip because she's the Spirit King of the Lost Demons, but Tenshi took the first move and repelled Ariii away from Philip
Ariii became pissed and her eyes cracked as veins popped across her cheeks and towards the bridge of her nose
In that moment, a battle between Tenshi Hikaru, the Holy Angel, and Ariii Akumasha, a Lost Demon, started
Meanwhile, Philip confronted the other spirit leaders and misunderstandings happened. They tried to antagonize Philip and attack him, but he repelled them all slightly
Adystyl's arm was lacerated when he brought his arm down and tried to punch Philip, Scintillar's flames were useless towards Philip because of his [Hot Nullification] and [Temperature Reaction] abilities as fire won't be able to affect him. Meanwhile, Fulkran slowly realized the grave mistake that he did and Philip's true identity
Fortunately, Amy, Lily, B'kuryank, and Leonis weren't doing anything and are just watching
Before Philip could do anything to Fulkran, the Spirit King of Desolate Dragons, for his disrespect, he immediately disappeared from his spot after using teleportation through blood when Tenshi asked for help through [Soul Link]
While Philip was dealing with the spirit leaders, Tenshi and Ariii's battle roared around the Floral Empire
An epic battle ensued
Tenshi was in her Pureblood Angel form and then added Holy Angel form. She also added her Fallen Angel form on top of it and finally added her Cursed Angel form
Even with four catalysts being used, somehow, Ariii was still overpowering her everytime
Tenshi decided to set up her domain, fised with three domain erection from the Holy, Fallen, and Cursed series, creating a sanctuary to push her power to the maximum
She then conjured four fused prayers on her right hand and left hand and then she clasped both fusions together and the reaction was powerful
Ariii didn't give her the time to unleash her attack, so she darted down from the sky towards Tenshi's domain on the ground
She reached her domain, but she was stopped by three shields of each catalysts
The fusion between Tenshi's hands became chaotic and changed colors from white, black, and gray. The surrounding environment also started to change as all colors became inverted repeatedly
"Judgement of Light. �̵̪̟̼̻͚̊�̴̣̭͙͒̌͆́̕͠�̶̦̻̰̈̚�̵̰̲̭̈̐�̷̭͙̪͙̖̞́͋̂̔͋̾͝�̸̧͍͙͕͕̠̒̑͂̅ ̸̬̻͚̼͔͇͍͙̇̓͑�̴͎͚͈̯̘͇̐͊̄͛̔͛͑̕�̷̡̨͍̟͖̬͇͗́́ ̸̨̧̩͉̪͔̜͎͖́͂̉̔̈́͗͘͘�̸͉̈́͂�̴̘̄̆�̷̲̹̝̭̳̄͂̅̓̓̽�̴̨̙̱̙̗͓̳̫̩͂̂̉̆̍̾̚͝. Inferno of Darkness"
In the end, Ariii almost broke through the third shield, but Tenshi successfully created an entirely new concept in her hands
The system and the universe recognized this addition and welcomed the new concept
"�̵̪̟̼̻͚̊�̷̭͙̪͙̖̞́͋̂̔͋̾͝�̸̧͍͙͕͕̠̒̑͂̅�̴̐͊̄͛ of Fluxewright"
The new concept is named Fluxewright by Tenshi. Fluxewright is the fusion between light, darkness, and the process light becoming dark and vice versa. This new concept was born because two opposing concepts shouldn't be possible to be fused or combined, especially when the middle ground was added
It's the Totality, Neutrality, and Duality at the same time
It's like fusion hot, cold, and warm together to produce a new temperature, or a fusion between white, black, and gray to produce a new color unlike anything
Tenshi unleashed this new concept towards Ariii in an explosion and blasted her, but even if it's an entirely new concept and it should've been powerful, Ariii somehow survived the full brunt of it at point blank range
At this point, Ariii seemed to have transformed as demonic looking armor manifested through her legs up to her thighs and arms up to her shoulder, with very demonic blinking eyes at her elbows, knees, ankles, and chest. A demonic breastplate also manifested on her chest. Her eyes are also incredibly shattered and seemed to be chipping off from the extreme anger she's feeling and the power she's harnessing
Tenshi's eyes widened and she barely activated her Angel of Good Luck form and she's fortunate enough to dodge Ariii's strike. In this moment, she called for Philip's help because she deemed Ariii as an anomaly and she couldn't figure out her power
She never intended to use the [Angelic Shotgun of Totality] and Amatsuka to fight Ariii because she wanted to train and test her own skills, but Ariii is the wrong opponent and something's definitely wrong
In an instant, Philip appeared in front of Tenshi and extended his right hand in front of him. Ariii then zipped towards Philip and she was caught by her neck and her body whipped forward due to the inertia. Tenshi was surprised because she couldn't see Ariii at that point because of her speed
Philip was surprised that a five-fusion catalyst Tenshi was losing to Ariii, especially when she created a whole new concept and Ariii just shrugged it off. So, Philip became very interested at her
But suddenly, his eyes instantly flashed with golden light and both him and Ariii was stunned. In a moment, they found themselves in a different plane of space
They were in a octagonal platform with eight black pillars adorned in gold on each corner with a wall of miasma at the outside. The blue moon and starry night sky peeks above like they are in the middle of an eye of a storm
They were in the [Plane of the Lost Demonic Bagua]
The platform under them is a Bagua with the trigrams in eight directions and the mirror in the middle. The split and full trigrams represents brokenness and completeness respectively
Philip was standing on the side where all the trigrams are split in half while Ariii was standing on the trigram that has two split bars at the top while full on the bottom
When Philip and Ariii were just standing there, the Omega System and Emily were alarmed and urged Philip to finish the job quickly. It is because the Bagua was forcing him and Ariii to the limits of their power, which will be bad for Philip because he will lose control
The system will not be able to help him because the Bagua suddenly forced Emily and the Omega System away, meaning that somehow, the Bagua recognized the system and deemed it unfair or dangerous against Ariii
Just then, the battle between Philip and Ariii erupted in an instant. Surprisingly, even if Philip is in Massacre Mode, he didn't see Ariii's movement and she just appeared in front of him
At the same time, [Bullet Time] activated and he could see that the tip of Ariii's finger is just millimeters away from his right eye ball
Philip was then forced to use ⟨⟨ Mana Actualization ⟩⟩ and teleport away from Ariii at the other side of the Bagua. He then observed the stationary Ariii that's floating in the air since time has drastically slowed down outside of Philip. His body is also enhanced to a maximized degree to compensate for [Bullet Time]
He pondered Ariii's power or ability and he commended her for overpowering Tenshi
As he was talking to himself, Philip's eyes widened from pain and blood gushed and bursted through his nose, destroying his sinus
This is because [Bullet Time] further slowed down time for the reason the Ariii once again appeared in front of his face, almost stabbing him on his forehead this time
He teleported once again back at his initial position. On the other hand, the surroundings drastically changed due to the extremely slowed time
From a blue-green hue of everything around the Bagua, all colors are inverted and everythint seemed brighter all of the sudden. This is because light particles were also slowed down that Philip could see waves of light flowing across the space
Blood kept dripping from his nose as the further slowed time affected his brain
~~~
Hm... 20 iterations are a bit too much that was lost. There are still many pillars of light out there...
I guess this is it for the current iteration... We'll continue this on the next interation until the unbroken timeline emerges

Author's Note:
Yes, the phone that I've been using to write has crashed and cannot be restored. The memory has to be wiped and that deleted the prewritten 20 chapters. Backup and Restore also couldn't be found, so I was depressed for a while
Well, no matter... I will fix these chapters in the future, but not now. I planned for this to happen anyway, not just this early
All the pillars of light that's beaming through the shroud of darkness are trace memories from what I can remember from what I wrote, all the important plot points and chain connections
I also have to rewrite all the notes that I lost, including the Soulblood abilities, Pureblood abilities, Tenshi's unlocked catalysts, transformations, and their abilities and prayers, all the names, setting, and plot of the next BIG arc, important terms, and much much more
That'll take too much time, so I would like to take my time... Or, as I always say, I'll let fate guide me to where I needed to be or the stoey goes
Everything's full of uncertainty and unexpected... Anything can happen. You just need to adapt and become stronger
As to whoever is talking and describing what it sees through the pillars of light... As the author, I don't know actually...
