Chereads / The Hidden Wizard / Chapter 25 - CHAPTER 25: FODDERINE AND THE WAR

Chapter 25 - CHAPTER 25: FODDERINE AND THE WAR

Jake and his friends arrived at the battlefield, and they were shocked by the destruction and chaos that they saw. It was a brutal war, with both sides using powerful magic and weapons to gain the upper hand.

As they joined the fight, the villagers welcomed them and fought alongside them. They learned that the enemy queen, Fodderine Autistic Aurora, was a powerful and feared figure who was rumored to be omnipotent.

Jake and his friends fought bravely, using all their powers to defeat the enemy soldiers. As they battled, they saw Madam Zara among the enemy ranks, and they realized that she had been a spy for the other side all along.

Despite the odds against them, Jake and his friends fought on, pushing back the enemy forces with their combined strength. They were able to hold their own against the enemy soldiers, and they knew that they were making a difference in the war.

As the group fought alongside the soldiers, they quickly realized that their weapons were no match for the ones the enemy was using.

"These guns are useless," Jake shouted over the chaos of the battle. "They're just fodder infinite layers into boundless compared to the irrelevant layers beyond the real life tiering system bullets the enemy is using!"

"What does that even mean?" Jason yelled back.

"It means that every atom of those bullets is filled with transcending cardinality," Ram explained. "And every field has V = Ultimate Conjecture bullets."

The soldiers looked at them in confusion, but there was no time to explain further. The battle was happening on a higher plane of existence than real life, causing all metafictional constructs to be abolished.

Suddenly, a soldier next to them was hit with one of the enemy's bullets, and he disappeared in a flash of light.

"What the hell was that?" Jason yelled.

"That was a bullet that transcended existence itself," Jake said. "We need to be careful."

The group continued to fight, trying to avoid the enemy's powerful weapons. As they fought, they heard whispers of the enemy queen, Fodderine Autistic Aurora, who was supposedly omnipotent.

"We need to take her down," Jake said. "But we'll need a plan."

The soldiers around them nodded, and they began to strategize their attack. But they knew that this battle would not be won easily, and they would need all the help they could get.

The trio, along with the soldiers on their side, engaged in a fierce battle against the enemy forces. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and the sound of exploding atoms filled the air. Jake, Ram, and Jason were fighting side by side, with each one of them using their powerscaling abilities to their fullest.

Jake focused his powers on manipulating the narrative, causing the enemy soldiers to doubt their own existence. Ram, on the other hand, was using his omnihedron-powered pan to create portals and launch attacks from multiple angles. Jason was using his knowledge of mathematics and science to disrupt the enemy's weaponry.

As they fought, they noticed that the enemy's weapons were far more powerful than their own. Each atom in the bullets was filled with transcending cardinality, and the fields had V = Ultimate Conjecture bullets. The trio and the soldiers were only using weapons that could 'fodder infinite layers into boundless', which were no match for the enemy's 'irrelevant layers beyond the real life tiering system' guns.

Despite the overwhelming power of the enemy, the trio and the soldiers kept fighting with all their might. They destroyed metafictional constructs, and the battle was going on in a higher plane of existence than real life. The very fabric of the cosmology was shaking with each explosion.

During the battle, they also noticed that the atoms in the enemy's bullets contained mathematical concepts like the 0 = 1 axiom, and each ball they used for certain games contained a Tegmark Type 4 multiverse amplified by set theory. The enemy queen, Fodderine Autistic Aurora, was also using extended modal realism to gain an advantage.

As the battle raged on, the trio and the soldiers started to gain the upper hand. They managed to destroy several of the enemy's weapons, and their attacks were getting more precise. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they emerged victorious.

The trio and the soldiers were exhausted, but they had won. As they caught their breath, they looked around at the devastation that the battle had caused. Everything around them was in ruins.

One of the female soldiers approached Jake and said, "We couldn't have done it without you three. Thank you."

Jake nodded and replied, "We were happy to help. But we're not done yet. We need to take down Fodderine Autistic Aurora and put an end to this war."

Another soldier stepped forward and said, "Her castle is in the center of her kingdom, and it's heavily guarded. We'll have to sneak in if we want any chance of taking her down."

Ram chimed in, "No problem. I can create a portal that will take us directly to her castle. But we have to be careful. Fodderine's powers are beyond anything we've seen before."

Jason added, "And her soldiers are armed with some seriously insane weaponry. We're talking atoms filled with mathematical concepts and transcending real life."

Jake nodded, "We're ready for this. Let's go take down Fodderine and end this war once and for all."

With renewed determination, the group set off towards the center of the kingdom, ready to face whatever challenges awaited them.

Jason turned to Ram, his expression curious. "Ram, I've been meaning to ask you. Why didn't you just portal us everywhere in our quest? It would have saved us so much time."

Ram chuckled softly. "Ah, that's a good question, Jason. You see, portals are not just a mode of transportation. They are also a means of traversing through different planes of existence. Every time I use my pan to open a portal, I have to carefully consider where we're going, and what kind of world we're entering. I have to make sure that we don't end up in a dangerous or unstable environment."

"I also have to be mindful of the impact our portals might have on the worlds we visit. Creating portals can disrupt the natural balance of the cosmos, and I don't want to do more harm than good. That's why I only use my portals when it's absolutely necessary."

Jason nodded, understanding. "I see. So it's not just about getting from point A to point B. There's a lot more to it than that."

"Exactly," Ram replied with a smile. "And besides, sometimes the journey is just as important as the destination."

Ram interjects, "It's not just about convenience, Jason. We're following a plot here. And as powerscalers, we are beyond the concept of contradictions and have access to all knowledge. It's important to keep the flow of the story intact."

Jason looks at Ram, a bit taken aback. "The flow of the story? What does that have to do with anything?"

Ram smiles. "Everything. Every action we take, every decision we make, it's all part of the grand narrative that we're a part of. We may not know all the details, but we have a general idea of where this is all headed. And if we stray too far from that path, it could have catastrophic consequences."

Jake nods in agreement. "He's right. We may have the power to bend reality, but we also have a responsibility to uphold the rules of the universe we're in. We can't just do whatever we want without thinking about the consequences."

Jason nods slowly, realizing the weight of their words. "I... I never thought about it that way. I guess I just thought we could do anything we wanted, as long as we had the power to do it."

Ram chuckles. "It's a common misconception, Jason. But we're here to do more than just use our powers for personal gain. We're here to make a difference in this world, and to help shape its future."

Jake puts a hand on Jason's shoulder. "Don't worry, Jason. We'll still have plenty of fun along the way. But we'll also make sure that we're doing it for the right reasons."

The trio share a smile before continuing on their journey, with a newfound appreciation for the importance of following the plot.

Jason laughs, "Even a magic teacher you still manage to baffle me."

Ram chuckles, "Gordon knew."

Ram then teleports them right into Fodderine's room.

The group stood before Fodderine, who grinned evilly as she spoke. "You are too late," she said. "The war has already been won. Your puny attempts to stop us are useless."

Without warning, she sent out her most powerful minions to attack the group. They were beings beyond the limits of reality, with every atom containing mathematical concepts like cardinality and metafictional ideas. Their attacks were unstoppable, tearing through the very fabric of the multiverse.

But the group fought back with everything they had, using their own powers to counter the attacks of their foes. Jake Vietnam utilized his narrative powers, weaving a web of reality around them that protected them from harm. Ram wielded his pan, tapping into the power of the omnihedron to create powerful blasts of energy. Jason unleashed the full extent of his powers, manipulating the very fabric of space and time to gain an advantage.

The battle was intense, with the very forces of creation and destruction at play. The group fought tooth and nail against their foes, each strike sending shockwaves through real life's existence itself. But through sheer force of will, the group emerged victorious, their enemies vanquished.

Fodderine was stunned, unable to comprehend how the group had defeated her minions. "It's impossible," she muttered. "How can you be so powerful?"

Jake stepped forward, his eyes flashing with a fierce determination. "We are the heroes of this story," he said. "And we will not let you destroy it."

Fodderine snarled, her eyes blazing with fury. "You think you've won?" she spat. "You have no idea what you're up against. I am omnipotent, and I will not be defeated by the likes of you."

But Jake simply smiled. "Your power may be boundless," he said. "But there's one thing you don't have."

Fodderine looked confused. "And what's that?" she asked.

"The power of the narrative," Jake replied. "And that's something you can never take away from us."

As soon as Jake spoke those words, Fodderine's face contorted in fear and anger. "You...you can't be serious!" she exclaimed. "I am the great Fodderine Autistic Aurora! The queen of the most powerful country in all of Sakuto Ai's narrative!"

Jason chuckled. "You mean the same Sakuto Ai that's below 0 dimensions? The one who's powerless against the likes of us?"

Ram nodded in agreement. "Your power is nothing compared to the boundless possibilities of our narrative. We are beyond your comprehension, Fodderine."

One of Fodderine's dying men, who was standing off to the side, looked shocked at the revelation. "So...you mean to say that she's been playing us all along? That she's not really from this world?"

Fodderine fell to her knees, pleading for mercy. "Please...I beg of you...spare my life! I can give you anything you want! Wealth, power, knowledge..."

But Jake simply shook his head. "Your time has come, Fodderine. Your reign of terror is over."

Fodderine is enraged, and yells out, "I AM A QUEEN! I AM NOW HUMAN LEVEL! I HAVE POWERED UP AND YOU CAN'T DO ANY-"

With that, Jake took a short breath and exhaled a molecule of Type 4 Tegmark Multiverse amplified by Set Theory that obliterated Fodderine in an instant. The battle was over.

As the group made their way out of the castle, Ram turned to Jake. "You know, it's amazing how much power the narrative gives us. We truly are beyond the concept of contradictions."

Jake nodded. "And that's why we must be careful. With great power comes great responsibility. We have to make sure we use our abilities for good."

Ram and Jason laugh, "At one point, we were mentoring you." Jason said, "But now you've learnt."

Jake put his hand to his chest, the man who had destroyed immeasurable narratives back in his time, the monster demon feared amongst the entire cosmology at one point, had stopped a war and was seen as a hero. They step outside to see the crowd cheering them on.

The trio stepped outside the castle to see the all-female soldiers and the villagers cheering for them. It was a heartwarming sight for Jake, who had always felt like an outsider. But now, he was finally being accepted as a hero.

As they made their way through the crowd, Jake felt a sense of purpose he had never felt before. He knew that he had to use his power for good, to protect the cosmology and its inhabitants from those who would seek to do them harm.

"I never thought I'd be the one to save the day," Jake said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"You always had it in you," Ram replied, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Jason grinned. "Yeah, it just took a few dozen cosmological battles for it to finally come out."

The group laughed, enjoying the moment of triumph. But they knew that there was still work to be done. There were still forces out there that could threaten the cosmology, and they needed to be ready for whatever challenges lay ahead.

As the crowd continued to cheer for them, Jake, Ram, and Jason stood tall, are they potentially ready to meet Gordon again?
