Arlesk, Ulysses, Pantheon, and Claude had prepared their equipment, and changed into various types of diving gear. Ulysses used the deep sea diving gear as he needed the armor to take the front. He changed his weapon into a chain and anchor to lock down the shark that they're about to face. "You all understand the plan? We'll be trying to lock this prick down. It can move at great speeds assuming that it's a monster that's much more powerful than the scorpion before, it'll be important for us to stop it from its tracks before we make our move." Arlesk briefly explained the plan once again, he gave a quick countdown before diving in first.
When he dove into the pool of water, he brightened what's inside immediately. The other three entered in that moment. "Our movement is restricted in the water, faking here is impossible." Arlesk looked around and saw multiple debris, plant-life, and even crystals being abundant on the floor. He would also see other smaller creatures, but he deemed them as potentially piranhas. He then saw the shark coming from the front. "We found hi-" 'Arlesk! One on your right!!" "Wh-?!?" Arlesk tried to swim away from the trajectory. "Clear away! There's two of them!" Arlesk used his sword to generate a piercing laser to strike the one that's on the front, while using magic to push himself forward. The laser that he fired at the front had dispersed a bit of the miasma, forcing him to use the shark's mouth as a footing while avoiding the teeth. He used his shoulders to stop one of the sharks from closing its mouth. In the meantime, Claude took some distance so that he can supplement power between the four of them. He took the time to keep an eye on the bigger picture and gave instructions to both Pantheon and Ulysses. "It's coming for you Ulysses." Because his diving gear was made out of hardened titanium, he could confidently do the same thing that Arlesk did without sustaining injuries. He threw the chain into the insides of the shark and jumped off.
Arlesk's shoulder was injured, but he had to take some time to charge the cannon to blast the miasma off from the shark that's currently trying to crush his bones. Just when his left shoulder starts to break, he fired off the cannon prematurely, hoping that he can precisely finish it off with the laser. The force of the magicannon however, threw him off-balance and he dropped his control. In that moment, the shark chomped his right side. "Arlesk!"
"[Cyber Systems Online], [Cyber Space Activation], [World of Eternal Stillness], [First Batch of Memories Unsealed]." Arlesk woke up in that instant, he immediately realized the world where he ended up on. It was the section of the universe that is said to be [Infinite] in dimension. It was the [Infinity Space] that he once lived on due to his duties.
"What the hell..." He looked around, and took notice that there was one other being that seems to be unresponsive for the time being. "Serkyrio? Wait no, since it's [Infinite Space]... [God of Administration]?" Arlesk had already recovered the standard amount of memories as [God of Cyberspace], thus he was able to identify that Serkyrio is the [God of Administration]. However, the current action where he was not responding had somewhat caught his attention. "Uhh...?" "Alright... That should be more than enough... Oh? [God of Cyberspace]? Is something the matter?" "What exactly were you doing? Ah, maybe altering fate again?" "Yeah, considering the situation, it would be bad if it goes out of hand. So I have to alter fate once again to return to the original path. He has already taken two souls, we can't stop him as apostles of the prime existence, but we have to merge negative energy of the soul fragments with one person. That way, he'll have enough power to even contest with the [God of Dominion]." "Got it." In that second, the dream recollection ended.
"[World of Eternal Stillness Deactivation], [Restoration to Past Point of Timeline Complete], [Cyber Space Deactivation]." Arlesk woke up in that second and stabbed his sword into the shark and pulled himself away from being bitten. Because the miasma was already removed from that one shark, he fired a laser while the sword was stabbed inside. While firing the laser, searing the sharks insides, he tried to move his sword to change the stab wound he made into a deep cut. While doing all of that, he charged his cannon in the meantime. Making sure he had killed off one of the two sharks, he blasted the immobilized shark who Ulysses kept holding down. With the miasma blown off, Pantheon rushed in and stabbed the eyes with Claude's instructions. This forced the shark to try and struggle around with it's own movement, allowing Claude to create the laser drones Arlesk once used and fired it towards the shark, creating holes in it. The miasma slowly started to disperse, the group quickly swam towards the exit of the open area. With the battle final over, they decided to take the time to recuperate.
"Arlesk, what the hell was that? I actually thought you were done for..." "Well, I learned that if I reach a near death situation, I will actually recover some memories and eventually make a full restoration. I don't really want to use it because it messes with the [Tree of Timelines]." "The tree of timelines you say?" With Claude's worry answered, Pantheon felt like he had heard something that shouldn't normally be talked about. "You can change timelines?" "Well, only my body can, Draxus has that ability but it's really dangerous." "So Draxus has it huh...?" "Yeah, but there something bothering me with the memories I receive as [God of Cyberspace]. Arlesk pondered deeply as he kept remembering the strange feeling and aura Serkyrio had.
The three heroes listened to Arlesk talking about his memories. One such detail made them feel like something is completely wrong. "Serkyrio... Can manipulate fate...? Is that really true?" "Yes... It's something that even Draxus cannot perform. What's weird is that, no other god can manipulate such thing in the universe. Only the [God of Administration] is capable of such a thing." "Who exactly is Serkyrio though... For him to have that much power..." "I don't know, but I have a feeling since his behavior can sometimes be considered as some sort of puppet. When I called out to him that time, there was no response, he didn't even hear me." "He seems to be ensuring that the [Prime Existence] never loses in most cases..." "I'll actually ask him when we return." After ending the discussion about Serkyrio's true capabilities, they continued to recuperate as they changed their equipment once again.
