Chereads / THE GOD OF EVERYTHING: A TOURNAMENT OF GODS / Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: THE PLAYGROUND

Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: THE PLAYGROUND

"First up..."

~{Yo, SAGE}~

"Hmmm, interesting. Guess I'll start there".

He walks forward and stretches his right hand to open his GATE.

Multiple paper planes pop out of thin air in his front, flying around in a circle.

A large paper plane appears in front of the opening created by the flying planes.

He places his left and right hand on it.

~{WAIT, WAIT.

COMMON SAGE.

DON'T IGNORE...}~

"BWOOOM".

The large plane shoots through the centre, pulling him with it into ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS.

"BWOOOM".

It stops suddenly. THE GOD OF MESSAGES releases it as it slowly burns away.

SAGE floats around within ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS, heading west of where he was dropped off.

~{HEY.

THAT WASN'T FUNNY AT ALL.

HOW COULD YOU LEAVE YOUR PAL BEHIND?}~

"Sigh... What do you want this time... PAL? I thought I told you to FUCK OFF". SAGE REPLIES leaving the words "FUCK OFF" floating in ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS.

~{SERIOUSLY SAGE.

WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS.

THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS...

SOB... SOB...}~

"Are you actually crying... Awwn... Should I send a message to the GOD OF TEARS for you or you're already heading that way". He replies with a grin.

He stops at a particular spot and began floating down within ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS.

~{IT SEEMS EVERYONE BUT ETON HATES ME.

AM I REALLY THAT ANNOYING?

MY MORTAL FRIENDS...

ANYWAYS.

YOU MUST HAVE READ ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS A LOT BY NOW.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS.

SIMPLE.

IMAGINE THE UNIVERSE, THE MULTIVERSE OR OMNIVERSE OR EVERY SINGLE DIMENSIONS AND HIGHER PLAINS OF EXISTENCE AND EVERY SINGLE THING.

FROM THE SMALLEST EXISTING THING TO THE LARGEST.

NOW IMAGINE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE INCLUDING THE SPACE AND TIME THEY EXIST IN BEING ERASED OR BEST EMPTY.

NOTHING AT ALL EXISTING IN PLACE OF THAT.

NOT EVEN TIME NOR SPACE.

JUST ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS.

THAT'S WHERE SAGE CURRENTLY IS.

EVERY GOD REALM HAS A COORDINATE WITHIN THIS ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS.

THEY EXIST THERE BUT DO NOT EXIST THERE.

TO MOVE FROM ONE GOD REALM TO ANOTHER, A GOD MUST MOVE THROUGH ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS...}~

"Who are you talking to?" Asked SAGE looking up.

~{MORTALS}~

"MOR... WHAT? Anyways, what exactly do you need?"

He continues floating downwards at speeds that could rival SPEEDY on his lazy PIONS.

A feat every GOD wouldn't except from SAGE.

~{ARE YOU TRYING TO MOVE FASTER THAN I CAN KEEP UP?

YOU DO KNOW I CAN BE ANYWHERE I WANT, RIGHT?}~

SAGE stops. "This should be it. WIS should have already informed them before now. I really don't worry to go through any annoying layers within any REALM". He says to himself as he opens his GATE to enter the REALM of THE GOD OF FUN

"THE PLAYGROUND".

"Hey, if you're tagging along for sight seeing don't go lagging behind..." He says as a places his hands on the large paper plane.

~{FINALLY REALIZED UHN?}~

"Here we go".

"BWOOOM".

"BWOOOM".

He stops in a layer within THE PLAYGROUND.

~{POLES!?}~

"Why do you sound so surprised? Didn't you already know I was heading to THE GOD OF FUN'S REALM?"

~{NOPE, I WANTED THIS TO BE FUN.

SO I...}~

"So you decided not to check ahead. That's a surprise, especially from you... Don't tell me you did THAT?" SAGE asks with a look of concern.

"No way. You know that's dangerous... Ahhh, nevermind, you're THE GOD OF..."

~{SHHHH...}~

"Sure, sure. Well, since I'm literally free falling alone, I better get ready to grab a pole". He replies as he falls from above the Infinite poles connected to each other from top to the unknown, stretching all around the layer.

"GOM GOM IS THAT YOU?" A voice calls out.

"Please don't call me that..."

~{PFFT...}~

"Also, could you please not use your REALM VOICE. Just come here or take me to where you are, GOD OF FUN".

"REALM VOICE? What are you talking about GOM GOM. I'm literally by your side". Replied THE GOD OF FUN who was moving between the poles.

With his smile so broad, showing how much fun he was having within THE JUNGLE GYM layer of his REALM.

"Oh, you were here". SAGE says calmly, as he swung from poles to pole with THE GOD OF FUN.

"So, how was it? The Meeting at the HALL OF GODS?"

"Well, it was same as usual. And you didn't show up again from playing too much. Can't you..."

"Race you to the other side". He says, cutting SAGE off as he swung faster.

Moving so freely through the poles, with his 8 feet GOD FORM, which he prefers using when he's within THE JUNGLE GYM.

A size that makes him enjoy jumping the 30 FRIS distance between each pole to it's fullest.

"Shit... Not this. Sigh".

"Common don't lag behind GOM GOM". He adds smiling and laughing joyfully.

~{YEA.

COMMON GOM GOM.

DON'T "LAG" BEHIND.

PFFT...}~

SAGE looks up with an expression of disgust.

~{SORRRRRRRY...

DON'T WORRY, HE CAN'T HEAR ME}~

SAGE moves as fast as he can through the poles as he tries catching up to THE GOD OF FUN.

Slowly but steadily he began having fun.

He catches up to THE GOD OF FUN, with both laughing cheerfully as they swung from pole to pole.

"HEHE... TOLD YOU TO VISIT MORE OFTEN. I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT SMILE IN A BILLION PIONS... HEHE". THE GOD OF FUN says looking at SAGE.

"PWOOSH".

They teleport into MERRY-GO another layer within THE PLAYGROUND.

A layer filled with MERRY-GO-ROUNDS of different sizes everywhere.

SAGE lands on a large horse, 5 Million FRIS high. His size adjusts to it, as he sits.

Riding round and round on this extremely large MERRY-GO-ROUND.

On a separate tiny MERRY-GO-ROUND next to the SAGE'S, was THE GOD OF FUN.

Smiling joyfully as he rode on is 2 FRIS high horse.

"SO, WHAT HAPPENED? I BET YOU CAME HERE TO DELIVER A MESSAGE FROM WIS". He says as he continuously teleports them to different MERRY-GO-ROUNDS within the layer.

SAGE tells him everything that happened within THE HALL OF GODS as they laughed cheerfully.

On hearing about THE GOD ESSENCE from THE MESSAGE TO THE ABSENT GODS, every single MERRY-GO-ROUND stops.

With a look of surprise and fear from his face, for the very first time since THAT GOD moved BILLIONS OF PIONS.

SAGE calms him down as his GOD REALM began shaking seriously.

SAGE explains everything to him, including the warning from THE GOD OF FORESIGHT and tells him he does have a choice, to vote for or against the tournament holding.

"BWOOOM".

He leaves waving to THE GOD OF FUN as he headed back into ABSOLUTE NOTHINGNESS.

~{DAMN.

DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO REACT LIKE THAT}~

"Are you for rea... Oh yea. You did THAT. Well he was attacked by THAT GOD, how did you expect him to react on hearing his GOD ESSENCE will be mixed with THAT GOD?" SAGE replies as he floats South of where he originally entered and exited THE PLAYGROUND from.

~{I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN.

BUT, HOPEFULLY MORE GODS WON'T VOTE AGAINST.

'CAUSE I REALLY WANT TO TAKE PART IN THIS.

HEHE}~

"Not funny. If more GODS vote against... I wonder how broken WIS will become... Guess FORESIGHT tried creating a future he can see..." He replies as he began floating upwards at the same speed he used earlier.

He stops and floats Eastward for a while and stops.

"Here we go. Hope this won't take a whole PION". He says as he opens his GATE to the REALM of the next GOD OF SOMETHING TO COME.

"BWOOOM".
