Chapter 42 - Chapter 42-Apocalypse [F.D.2] (11)

[Location: Abstralis, Capital City of Ideapolis, Mausoleum of Memories]

[??:?? ??, ????, 2831, CE]

In the 'Mausoleum of Memories', you could see Elysium kneeling as she holds both swords that are telling her that the time has come and she must return to them to their creator, repeating it over and over again, but Elysium seemed not to be bothered by it but engraved this message that the swords are conveying to her into her very memories, while Roland just stood behind looking at Elysium, who was kneeling and holding the sword in her hand.

"Is that an artifact?" Roland asked Elysium, who had already stood up as she wrapped the sword in pure white cloth with a symbol of a white flower in it. Hearing what Roland just said, she looked at him with a smile and said.

"Yes, it was our creator's very own artifact that she left here after her death. It was also what our kind was protecting, even though it doesn't need our protection" Elysium said, answering Roland's question as she put the wrapped swords behind her.

"Can I hold it?" Roland asked, as he seemed to want to try this unknown artifact.

"No! You can't unless you have a death wish being burned by the anger of the artifact of our creator. I suggest you not touch it, as it will literally erase you, as it hates all existence, even me. If not, because the dream is starting, I too will die" Elysium said as she looked at Roland fiercely, yet she also warned him of the danger that he might disappear from existence from the wrath of the two swords behind her back, while also stating that she is allowed to hold it because she is a carrier to bring it to her creator.

"Is that so? Then let's go and find the lurking seeds first, as they might awaken, so I can also guide you to where Mobius is after we are done with your kingdom's problems first" Roland said as he looked at Elysium. He wanted to find the seed of the fake Eternal Flower that is hidden or maybe floating in their kingdom, as it would create catastrophic danger if it bloomed.

"Mhm, let's go. I don't want those things in my kingdom after all. They are things that must not exist. I'm pretty sure our creator's artifact would be happy to eradicate something that defiled that she views highly of" Elysium said as both of them went through the hallways and slowly got out of the mausoleum. As they both reached the outside of the mausoleum, you could see nothing but an endless field of white flowers surrounding the mausoleum itself, but they just looked at it once and suddenly disappeared in their position back to the Elysium castle.

"Can I ask what these fakes look like?" Elysium asked Roland, as she wanted to know what the fake Eternal Flower looks like. Hearing this, Roland said it's appearance.

"It was similar to the original one, but instead of letting melody be engraved in our memories, it sings with that difference. Maybe you already know the difference" Roland said to Elysium as Elysium nodded, understanding the characteristics of the fake Eternal Flower. With this information, she opened the door to the balcony while Roland just looked at her.

"My dear citizens, it is time the dream has started. Our role in this era has begun, so let's start turning the gears of existence to the path it wants" Elysium said as her words could be heard by all conceptarians, celebrating that their time has finally come as all of them suddenly turned into a flash of light, approaching Elysium and integrating with her, giving every meaning and concept they had to Elysium so that they could finally become one to start the dream they have been waiting for so long.

Seeing this, Roland is surprised at what is currently happening, as this was just too sudden. The kingdom filled with metaphysical entities that contained every single concept that had existed suddenly disappeared, turning all of it into a single entity. It was Elysium. She is growing. Her body is slowly becoming that of an adult. The green hair changed into black hair, and the green slit eyes turned into yellow slit eyes as the clothes in her body also changed to a black tattered dress with intricate lines of gold with black metallic gauntlets and black metallic leg armor that reached her ankle. The black metallic gauntlets were hidden due to the oversize sleeves that the dress had, and there were two black metallic headpieces in the shape of a cross on her head.

"This" seeing the transformed Elysium surprised Roland a lot as Elysium, who used to look like Mobius, changed to that a, beautiful woman adorned in a tattered black dress with intricate lines of gold in it. As the transformation stopped, the whole world they are currently standing on suddenly turned quiet as if only two of them were left. The race conceptarians turned into a single entity named Elysium.

"Surprising right, don't worry, you'll be more surprised by the strength of the artifact of my creator" Elysium said, looking at the dumbfounded Roland. Hearing what Elysium just said, Roland calmed himself down and asked what she just did.

"Just now, what did you do? Why did they seem to willingly be sacrificed to become you when you said, What is this dream you are talking about?" Roland said, asking questions at such a rapid pace, making Elysium smile.

"Although I could not tell you about the dream, I could tell you what just happened. You see, all of us are originally one. We all just split and created many more concepts through the birth of another concept, thanks to the gift of my creator allowing me to create more concepts or even transcend them if I wanted to. But I need essence if I want to go beyond transcending the concepts I own" Elysium said, stating that she herself could transcend all of those countless concepts if she wanted to, with the addition of even going beyond transcending those concepts by having essence, but due to her circumstances, her time to become an essence user is still long. If she ever becomes an essence user, she could be as powerful as the 10 councils, or maybe even more powerful.

As Elysium just finished talking about what just happened, a sudden space quake happened, and both of them could feel it. The fake one had awakened, but instead of a single space quake, it happened multiple times as more and more fake ones awakened, surprising both of them with such a sudden appearance of those things.

"Shit to think they would plant this many in this place. I could fight 3 of them, but millions of them—no thanks. Hey, Elysium, let's get out of here. I'll report this to the Secret Society" Roland said, as he wanted to bring Elysium with him to the Secret Society, but Elysium shook her head and said.

"No need for that. We had my creator's artifact" Elysium said, believing that her creator's weapon could destroy all of these fakes as she slowly unwrapped the sword.

"What do you mean? Even my own artifact could not kill that many" Roland said, looking at Elysium. Maybe she had gone crazy because of the sudden fusion of herself. As Elysium fully unwraps the swords, they float in front of Elysium.

"Oh, the artifact of my creator looked at the horrific abomination that the Essence users had created. Please destroy their horrific creation in front of us, please, as the dream must begin" Elysium said as both of the swords looked at the fake giant white flowers blooming at the size of multiple planets, and they're still growing larger and larger. The swords are filled with rage and disgust. They view whatever is in front of them as an abomination that must not exist.

"Disgusting abomination, fake, must not exist, taint to the name of Eternal Flower, it has no meaning, it's not a gift to the Eternal Maiden, it must disappear" the swords said synchronously. As you could hear a woman's voice with countless overlapping negative emotions in the voice overlapping, it was angered, disgusted, ashamed, and many more. As both the swords rose in the space and the black sword took the form similar to that of Elysium as it held the white sword, it brought it up high and slashed it down. In that single instant of slash, all the fake eternal flowers suddenly turned into nothing but dust.
