Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The Only Way to Defeat the Supreme Author

Andreas and Kai sat together in the quiet space, where time seemed to stretch endlessly, as if the very fabric of the universe was holding its breath. The weight of what they had learned was starting to settle in, but there was still much to grasp. The answer to their biggest question hung in the air: How do we defeat the Supreme Author?

Andreas turned to Kai, his face serious but calm. "Kai," he began, his voice carrying the gravity of the knowledge he was about to share. "The only way to defeat the Supreme Author is by destroying every single fiction he has ever created. This world, this universe, everything we've seen, exists because he wrote it. And if we want to end his reign, we have to destroy it all."

Kai blinked, processing the magnitude of what Andreas had just said. "But... how? How can we destroy all of that? The world, the stories, everything?"

Andreas smiled, but there was no joy in his expression. "Imagine this: every fiction, every story, every world that the Supreme Author has created, exists within its own cosmic structure, a structure built upon the foundation of something far beyond what we understand. Picture a vast, infinite sea of worlds, each one connected, yet separate. Every single one of these worlds is built upon a cosmology so vast, so grand, that it can't be measured by any number or concept we know."

Kai leaned in, trying to understand. Andreas continued.

"Each fiction created by the Supreme Author has its own version of what I call the 'Eternal Nexus'. This Nexus is a kind of cosmology that stretches far beyond what you can imagine. It's a vast structure of infinite possibilities, a reality that cannot be touched by anything that exists within ordinary mathematics. Imagine a network so complex that no number, no cardinality, no transfinite concept, can ever hope to reach it."

"Bayangkan, Kai, bayangkan sebuah alam semesta yang tidak hanya terbentang dalam dimensi yang kita kenal, tetapi yang melebihi dimensi itu, mencakup lapisan-lapisan yang tak terhitung jumlahnya. Sebuah jaringan kosmologi yang tidak hanya berisi dunia yang saling terhubung, tetapi terikat dengan hukum dan struktur yang bahkan tak bisa kita pikirkan. Setiap fiksi yang tercipta, dari yang terkecil hingga yang terbesar, memiliki Eternal Nexus mereka sendiri — sebuah tatanan kosmik yang begitu besar, begitu kompleks, sehingga tak ada bilangan matematika yang bisa menjangkaunya."

Andreas paused for a moment, allowing Kai to grasp what he was saying. The concept was so massive, so unfathomable, that it felt like trying to measure the impossible. But Andreas wasn't finished.

"Eternal Nexus ini, Kai, bukan hanya sesuatu yang terhubung dengan bilangan transfinite atau teori kardinal. Ini jauh lebih besar daripada itu. Bahkan jika kamu coba mengukurnya dengan konsep seperti Cantor Absolute Infinity — yang bagi banyak orang dianggap puncak dari ketakterhinggaan — itu tidak ada apa-apanya di sini. Bayangkan saja sebuah struktur yang melampaui Cantor Absolute Infinity, yang bahkan konsep matematika apapun tak akan mampu menyentuhnya."

Kai's mind spun at the scale of what Andreas was describing. The very fabric of reality itself, the limits of what could be imagined, had been shattered. What they were facing wasn't just a powerful author; they were dealing with a creator who had woven together a cosmology beyond anything they could fathom.

"Setiap dunia yang tercipta oleh Supreme Author, meski tampaknya seperti bagian dari satu cerita, sebenarnya adalah sebuah struktur kosmologis mandiri. Dan, bayangkan kalau setiap struktur ini memiliki keterhubungan yang luar biasa dalam jaringan kosmik yang lebih besar. Ini bukan sekedar konsep teori atau angka—ini adalah kenyataan yang ada dalam level yang tak bisa diukur dengan bilangan apapun."

Andreas leaned forward, his voice lowering. "Untuk mengalahkan Supreme Author, kita harus menghancurkan semua fiksi ini. Menghapus setiap dunia yang dia ciptakan. Setiap Eternal Nexus harus dihancurkan. Bayangkan, kita tidak hanya menghancurkan dunia ini. Kita akan menghancurkan seluruh jaringan kosmologi yang membentang tanpa batas."

Kai struggled to keep up with the overwhelming scale of it all. "But how do we even begin to do that? If we can't touch something that big, something that is beyond our understanding... how can we even have a chance?"

Andreas stared at him, the weight of the task ahead heavy in his eyes. "That's the part we still don't fully know. But the key is in understanding the Nexus. If we can unravel the foundation of every story, every fiction, we can dismantle the Eternal Nexus that holds it all together. But it's not going to be easy. We'll be up against something that no one, not even the highest beings, have ever faced before."

The room seemed to grow still, as if the very air was thick with the weight of their conversation. They weren't just fighting a battle for survival. They were up against the entirety of creation, something so vast, so infinite, that it felt as though their efforts were meaningless. But there was a flicker of determination in Andreas' eyes.

"We will face this, Kai. We have no choice. If we don't, the Supreme Author will continue to create worlds and stories, forever controlling everything. The Eternal Nexus will remain, unchallenged, and the entire network will fall under his rule. But if we can destroy it all… if we can unravel this web of creation, then we will have a chance to break free."

Kai nodded, understanding the stakes now. The challenge was unlike anything they could have imagined. But one thing was clear: if they were going to stop the Supreme Author, they had to shatter everything he had built—an infinite structure, a network of realities that spanned beyond comprehension.

The battle for the future of all exist
