CHAPTER 3242  ORIGINS VI

Across an extremely stable pathway, it felt like endless stellar obsidian seas were surging from all around and crossing this single path while heading towards a distant construct.

And yet no matter how much was drawn in, the surroundings didn't show any strain as Ozymandias realized the moment the connection was established, waves of interactions he couldn't yet understand erupted and caused some sort of a reaction.

A reaction with the countless particles of Dark Matter permeating all around this space!

The Dark Matter seemed to feed off of this connection in an unfathomable way, the concentration of authority and atmosphere of the Megalos Beyond itself rapidly increasing with this region of the Organ they were in as the center and only continuing this expansion outwards.

Within the Nexus of Megalos Records where a part of himself and Aspasia was, their touching palms vibrated as Aspasia was currently looking behind Noah as if she could see the blinding and massive obsidian pathway that was formed not towards an Entity, but something else entirely!

|You…!|

Her voice was filled with a sense of incredulity and confusion as she looked at him.

Her eyes squinted closely as if she wanted to follow the endless massive connection stretching out behind him, but Ozymandias looked at her ever closer as he asked calmly.

|Is something the matter?|

As if he had just done the most natural thing in the world.

Aspasia looked at him wordlessly as if she were gathering her thoughts before she asked, almost as if she was whispering so that nobody else could hear….but there should be nobody else here!

|What…did you connect to just now?|

She wondered.

She sought an answer.

And yet…she only saw the singularities of this mysterious being before her curve into a smile as he replied.

|Something big. I need to focus and understand it clearly, do you mind?|

He spoke while his stellar obsidian turned its eyes right ahead of him.

Only their palms had been touching, but unconsciously, Aspasia came to realize at this moment that her whole body was glued to him.

As if she wanted to enter the depths of his existence to understand exactly what had just happened!

|Ah…| As she realized this, Aspasia stepped back, naturally unclasping their palms as she felt the weavings of her own Existence.

|Did you manage to confirm what you wanted to confirm?|

His voice was ever present as it followed her.

Her blank gaze blinked and brightened up as she looked at him, and then sensed the changes occurring around them as well as her intricate connection to the Grave of the Great Beyonder that was currently getting drops of rain on it.

She felt the heavy inflow of rivers of what seemed like the Megalos Beyond itself- not just Outerversal Authority or something like it.

She felt it flow towards him and yet at the same time, nothing was lost.

Around them, the waves of Megalos Beyond seemed to be getting richer.

The weavings of Dark Matter seemed to be getting more potent!

Why was this?

She wanted to understand this unreal phenomenon as it was all connected to the entity before her, and when she looked closely, she could almost see the weavings of something new from the massive connection she only caught a glimpse of.

But now...they were no longer connected, and she couldn't observe it anymore.

So towards his question…

|Yes…I've confirmed what I wanted to confirm.|

She answered succinctly as his singularities blazed, and his figure sat in a meditative position even in this Nexus of Megalos Records as…

CRACK!

Cracks formed even in this ethereal space as obsidian brilliance began to flow towards him, his figure becoming encased by it!

And yet…this Nexus of Megalos Records did not lose anything.

It even seemed to be gaining more as imperceptible waves radiated from him and made everything richer!

|...|

Aspasia gazed at this scene with an inquisitive gaze.

She…was not able to find exactly what she was looking for that would confirm this Entity was the Instrument that the Great Beyonder spoke of.

But, the Sign outside of the Grave of the Great Beyonder right now gave him tremendous authenticity.

That was now two Signs, and the most recent one came directly as a result of his actions!

So he could be considered the one that the Great Beyonder spoke of. If the Great Mother asked her, this was what she would say.

But herself…she wanted to also look at this being and understand him more. So she also sat in a meditative position in the Nexus of Megalos Records and watched him.

Outside, their bodies were still connected as he pierced into the very depths of her existence. This was still a connection she could exploit to learn about this being as at this moment, within the core of the Organ they were in, seas of the Megalos Beyond were constantly sinking into his body and flowing into the connection extending behind him.

She felt her own Authority surge faster, her own connection to the Megalos Beyond become deeper, and her own power was steadily rising.

Almost as if she was connected to an agent of the Megalos Beyond itself!

She looked at this being closely as she sensed all the changes around them, and she wondered.

'Just who are you, Ozymandias?'

She wondered, and soon after, she also received a message.

A message from none other than the Great Mother. Content rights belong to .

|My Little Aspasia, did you see it? Did you see Rain?!|

Her intent drilled into her mind as she could feel her long fed fanaticism. And so she sent back the intent she had prepared.

|Yes, Great Mother. It came as a direct result of his actions.|

…!

She told the truth.

Even though it wasn't the full truth as she didn't mention that she didn't finish the full ritual of confirmation.

But from the other side, the cheer of the Great Mother was overflowing.

|Haha, good. Good! Keep yourself close to him, Aspasia. Guide him. If you can Imprint yourself on him and have him care for you, even better. I've activated the mechanism to take this Grave away from here and towards the nearest Megalos Pantheon. There, gather the support of other Outerversal Morphons. Spread the news of the arrival of the Instrument! There, he can challenge the Crucible of the Beyonder and further cement his position. There, we will begin gathering support as all others will follow.|

…!
