John then got into a battle with literal gods.

He was beaten quite badly.

So he used his special ability.

"You have forced my hand!"

"Oh, you still have some tricks?"

"Time Authority!"

A tier 9 spell!

Time itself began to rewind.

But the spell shattered.

"Your authority means nothing in the calamity realm."

John felt despair for the first time.

Tendrils of energy came out of the blue star. They wrapped themselves around John.

John waved his hand, cutting the tendrils.

"I haven't lost yet!"

John could control the teleportation of Deathless through their souls. He summoned all those that were alive.

Over a hundred appeared!

They looked around.

John briefed them through the Deathless network.

While Emflowcreagen was distracted by Deathless. John attempted to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?"

It seemed that the amount of creatures under the control of Emflowcreagen was an infinite amount. John had no chance.

But who was he? He was John Destinatus!

He had to think of a way! There was always a way to win...

Most of those in Deathless were killed. Despite their immortality. It was asking too much for them to battle gods.

The tendrils made their way to John.

"If you move even a little bit. I'll collapse this realm! Just like how I collapsed the abyss."

"Do it!"

"..."

John couldn't feel the framework for this realm. It was as if it operated off of no logic. He was merely bluffing.

After all of his cards ran out. John lost.

A battle against ones self is always the hardest.

Emflowcreagen fused with the skeletal body.

It felt amazing. To have a body capable of enduring the full potential of his concept. A permanent connection was opened to his skeletal body.

The Infinite Maze that was his soul became his sea of consciousness.

Unfortunately. Emflowcreagen wasn't capable enough of doing a full fusion.

It was due to the skeletal body resisting, even when he had lost.

Emflowcreagen waited for the mental energy of John to reach its peak.

He then used Time Authority. But at the level of an original incarnation.

Time began to rewind.

----------------------------------------

"I will reach the cosmic order!"

A skeletal body appeared in the abyss by the formation of the true immortal.

He grabbed his hand.

"Who are you?"

"You don't plan on collapsing the abyss, right?"

Emflowcreagen snapped his fingers. The formation the true immortal had been working on shattered.

He then tapped the true immortals head.

Tracing all the way to the private consciousness.

Emflowcreagen had done something insane! It had prevented its origin...

But it had also created an artifact in the cosmic order!

Its existence was Mysterious!

Merely stopping the actions that brought it into existence, it wasn't enough to cause it to no longer exist. It was a concept after all.

The birth of the calamity realm had been stopped.

A blue light shined in the eyes of the skull of John.

The calamity realm no longer existed.

The blue star had left the realm.

It was tied to this skeletal body. It had found a body worthy of itself.

His concept existed in the cosmic order now.

He had a soul with no origin.

He had a body with no origin.

His existence itself was never born.

He had fused all wills of John Destinatus together.

Emflowcreagen left the other skeletal body alone. He had no need for copies.

He instead was more interested in what Gaia had mentioned about Zero.

He was interested in 'Higher Worlds'.

Realities where he was considered mere fiction.

John gazed through the infinite universes and multiverses. He gazed beyond the legendary container. He looked upon the incomprehensible.

He saw a world far less fantastical.

A world with no supernatural power.

But he planned to change that!

He took a single step and vanished.

He appeared in this new world.

He looked upon all of these pure souls.

He waved his hands and began to construct the calamity realm.

His skeletal body remained floating in this realm.

It was in the Infinite layer.

A legion of hidden existences awaited his orders.

John morphed his thinking. He held out his hand and held all the timelines of this reality. He looked at a matrix for every existence.

He then made it so he had always existed in this new world.

He made it so he would always exist.

He then checked to see if there was an abyss, an otz room, a chaos realm.

John had complete control over the rules of the calamity realm.

He opened up portals allowing eldritch beings and gods to invade this new reality.

He sighed.

"Finally... I am free!"
