Calm madman: Yes, good.

"The Psychiatrist and the Calm Madman entered the door. Grodr closed the iron door behind him."

Grodr: I'm sorry for the darkness.

Calm madman: Yes, I understand you. You dislike all sentient beings.

Grodr: Wow, but you do know.

Calm madman: Well, according to the demons, I've drawn conclusions.

Grodr: Ahem. It's clear. We're here, here's the couch, have a seat.

Grodr pointed to the sofa with his hand, but because of the crown of his head, but nothing was visible. It was possible to understand what and who was where, only by a small reflection of light on objects."

Calm madman: Thank you.

"Grodr sat down, opposite the Calm Madman, on a chair."

Grodr: Uh... ahem. What did you want to discuss with me?

The calm madman: I will try to describe the problem in detail. I am the son of the progenitor. Do I need to prove it?

Grodr: No, I already see streams of divine mana in you. Unlike the usual one, it is not blue - turquoise, but white with black specks.

Calm madman: Wow, you're pretty good at this, even if you don't go outside.

Grodr: I know that the universe is restarting after my son's mistake. Also, it restarts until the moment when the error started. All living beings, after restarting, receive memory erasure and the return of their memory before the beginning of the error of the progenitor's son. Also, absolutely everything returns to its original state, before the error of the progenitor's son begins. The son of the progenitor himself receives a complete erasure of memory and a slight change in fate in order to prevent the beginning of a mistake. This leads to the continuation of the life of the universe, and the life of the son does not change, except there will be no mistake. Right?

Calm madman: Yes, everything is absolutely correct. Then it will be easier. But first of all, since you know everything, how do you know it?

Grodr: Huh. Yes, it's hard to believe, but I was created experimentally. As a result, as I understand it, I do not count as a living organism. Therefore, at the first restart, I was in an empty space of impermanence, that is, all that surrounded me was emptiness without time boundaries. In reality, less than 1 millisecond has passed, but I spent about 10,220 years in that space. The progenitor noticed this and made me a living organism. That's why, now, I have crystals all over my body.

Calm madman: Why did you decide that this is an empty space of impermanence?

Grodr: Since time slows down there for the life cycle, then during this endless time interval, you can think about the frailty of life and understand the frailty of your existence.

Calm madman: Could you understand?

Grodr: No, I have only reached the point of thinking about understanding.

Calm madman: Okay, then I'll reveal a secret that everyone who hasn't restarted after creation knows about. This is the space of Seven spatial gravitational-time lines. This is the space where the progenitor lives. It was created to maintain gravity. In this space, time flows differently, only the progenitor knows the time difference with real time indicators.

Grodr: Okay, I'll know. So what is the issue that you have come to discuss?

The calm madman: I am not the son of this universe. The son is locked up, for the sake of preserving the life of all living things in the universe. Therefore, in order to preserve it, you need an artifact that either absorbs divine mana indefinitely, or seals it completely, but so that it can be printed and sealed again.

Grodr: So. Ahem. I can offer the only option, an artifact that will seal the divine mana for 3 days. This is really the maximum available limit in the whole world. I say this, kaa is the oldest inhabitant in the universe.

Calm madman: All right, bring it.

Grodr: Now.

"Grodr abruptly stood up and ran, stumbling over his white beard and swaying from side to side."

Calm madman: Don't be in such a hurry, we still have more than 9 years!

Grodr: Okay, but still! The whole world is in danger here, and am I going to take my time?

Calm madman: It's not a bad word, my dear long-lived.

"Grodr was in the other room, so he raised his voice."

Grodr: Oh, don't flatter me! Although I am the oldest, I have outlived you in age! Although! Although, what universe are you from?

The calm madman: 1st. It has never restarted.

"Grodr returned from the room."

Grodr: Then you really are the most ancient living organism.

Calm madman: That's right.

Grodr: Here, this is the artifact in question.

Calm madman: Wow! Is it just me, or is it really a hat?

Grodr: Don't be rude, it's a sombrero. I made it based on footage from the future.

Calm madman: So you saw the future in that space?

Grodr: That's right, because in order to restart the universe, you need to destroy all life, and the fastest way is to speed up its time. So, while on the Ground, I saw a sombrero, and when I picked it up I heard: 'oye! es mi sombrero!' As I understand it, that's what they call a hat in that country.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Calm madman: Does the artifact have a name, well, a name?

Grodr: Yes, it's 'Equal'. Please do not break, scratch, tear, or melt...

Calm madman: Yes, I understand, you don't have to continue. In that case, I'll probably go.

Grodr: If that's all, then maybe you should go.

Calm madman: That's right, then have a good day and try to get rid of the tightness in the cave.

Grodr: Well, I will definitely try. Have a nice day!

"The calm madman opened the iron door as if it were made of wood and bowed to the Mayor."

Calm madman: Thank you very much for your help. I will definitely bring my brother here to introduce you.

Grodr: Ahem. I'll try to finish it by then.

Calm madman: Then, goodbye.

Grodr: Yeah.

"The calm madman walked out the door and walked back."

Shobf: And I'm still waiting for you, how did it go?

The calm madman: I can't see you, but everything went fine. I received an artifact, although it does not fully fulfill the task, but it may be enough for such a period, temporarily.

Shobf: I see. Shall we move back then?

Calm madman: Yes, I'll come in to say goodbye to everyone and go back to the Demon Kingdom. By the way, I have a question.

Shobf: Yes, which one?

Calm Madman: Why do lychees, zombies, skeletons, special purpose skeletons and all that sort of thing live in the demon kingdom. And demons, for example, live in Hell. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Shobf: Yes, it probably looks stupid. But that's what our father decided, as a way to equalize the forces of hell and the demon kingdom. Imagining a scale where there will be demons in one bowl and undead in the other, we can say that demons win if we compare their strength and the progress of power growth. But if we add Arfolia to the bowl with the undead, and Fedf has grown with the demons, then the demons will outweigh the power of the undead several times. All this is because of the weak mistress of Hell. Her rank is SS class, but her strength is slightly stronger than Class B. That's how it turned out that Arfolia has demons.

Calm madman: I see. Now, everything is clear. Is it me? Is this the way out?

Shobf: Yes, that's him. I hate this place because being here, it seems that you are walking, over time, more and more distance.

Calm madman: I see. Most likely, these are the tricks of the Mayor.

Shobf: Who is this?

The Calm Madman: A secret.

Shobf: Eh? Well, okay. Anyway, we've come to the exit. Go straight and turn left. It's straight ahead and to the left.

Calm madman: Good. See you next time, bye.

Shobf: Yes, have a nice day.

"The calm madman and the Shobf went in different directions. The boss pays for the food in the kitchen, and the Calm madman says goodbye."

Calm madman: * It seems to be on the left here. Yeah, I'll find out the way.*

"The calm madman turned left and walked a little straight to enter the reception room."

Calm madman: So, gentlemen, I'm back.

Everyone present: Oh, congratulations!

Arfolia: And what is the result?

Calm madman: Can I go first?

Arfolia: Yes, come on.

Calm madman: Then I would like to put a portal at your place so that I don't go down again. Where can I put it?

Arfolia: It's probably better at the stairs, as the entrance.

Calm madman: Okay, then we'll do it. Returning to your question, I can say that as a being of the universe, he knows a lot. Also, I got an artifact, of course, not the one that is needed, but as a temporary one, it fits.

Arfolia: Well, that's great. Well, loyal subjects, I'm letting everyone go, if there is no more information and you can be busy with your own business.

All demons: We obey!

"All the demons came out, except for Kradr, he stayed."

Arfolia: Why did you stay?

Kradr: Madam, can I go on the road with the future master?

Arfolia: Hmm, well... I think it's possible.

Kradr: Thank you. Mr. Calm Madman, is it possible for your future subordinate to come with you?

Calm madman: I think it's okay if you go, but you'll explain yourself to the others, because I'm tired.

Kradr: I'm listening!

Arfolia: So, it seems that all the issues have been resolved now, can we go?

Calm madman: Yes, we can. Kradr, follow me.

Kradr: I'm listening!

"Arfolia led the Calm Madman, followed by Kradr. They walked out of the room, entered the tunnel connecting the different rooms, walked along the right wall and turned right. So they came to the cherished staircase."

Arfolia: I think that the portal can be put here.

"Arfolia pointed with her long, sharp and black right hand nail at the huge and empty wall near the portal."

Arfolia: We thought we would make a new mural here, but making a passage to the top would be the best choice.

Calm madman: Then, now I will create a portal.

"The calm madman looked at the wall."

Calm madman: * So, well, it's probably possible, approximately, to make a portal with a diameter of about 3 meters, yes, the best option.*

"A portal appeared on the wall according to the idea of a Calm Madman, it was not connected to the upper one, since the upper portal was not created."

Calm madman: Well, that's it.

Arfolia: Is it connected?

Calm madman: No, I forgot to put the portal on top. Okay, should we go?

Arfolia: I think so. We can go now.

Calm madman: In that case, see you again, Mistress Ada.

Arfolia: Oh, thank you for the compliment. Yes, goodbye.

"After saying goodbye, the Calm Madman and Kradr began to climb the stairs."

--- At this time---

Faceless: So, how long have I been in meditation? I spent 10 seconds in consciousness. I don't even know. Okay, there's no way to find out.

"The faceless one did not know that he had slowed down the perception of consciousness for a while so much that now he can spend 5 days in meditation, which will be conscious for 10 seconds. So he slowed down perception for a time by 720 times, which exceeds human abilities by many times. After all, if you spend your whole life on this, then the maximum that can be achieved is 21 times."

Faceless: By the way, I think that since I can slow down consciousness and accelerate, and I have less acceleration progress than deceleration, since I can accelerate, the process of accelerating consciousness can be improved with a shorter period of time than when I studied it. So, in fact, I have fully learned time. So, all the parameters with mana are left. I think even though it wasn't on the task list, you can try mana transformation. I think that if mana can be concentrated indoors, in the body, in spells, if there are any, and so on, then, in fact, it can be concentrated so that it is in a different form. You can connect practice to my theory. What if I move mana away from the walls and at the same time, for example, give her more mana from the vessel? Perhaps it will become much denser.

"The Faceless One moved mana, concentrating it, away from the walls and threw out additional mana from the vessel."

Faceless: So, mana has become warmer, which means that the air has warmed up from moving atoms in a narrow, narrowed space for them. Then what happens if I pour out all the mana from the vessel and force the bodies to transfer even more mana from the vital energy? Dachshund, let's see.

"The Faceless One released all the accumulated mana from the vessel and deactivated the protective barrier in the vessel, which caused the barrier to rupture and now he was releasing the mana of true beings. The Faceless One himself did not know about the existence of such mana and did not know about the barrier."

Faceless: Oops, something interesting. I feel an absolute emptiness and warmth in the whole cave. So strange. Okay, that's enough experimentation for now. Let's go back to meditation with mana training. I think that I have mastered the movement of mana and I need to switch, for example, to moving with the release of one side of the 6, around myself. That's what I'll do.

--- At this time---

"The calm madman and Kradr are climbing the stairs."

Kradr: Sir, can I offer you one thing?

Calm madman: Come on, I'm listening.

Kradr: I think that moving up the stairs is much longer, what if you move off the walls?

Calm madman: It's a good idea, it came to me even during the descent. But I'm not in a hurry, so I think it's worth going up the stairs in the usual way.

Kradr: Forgive me for being rude, I didn't know anything about it.

Calm madman: No need to apologize, at all. At least in such cases. It is worth it only in the case of insults or behavior, and not in incorrect judgments and conclusions.

Kradr: Understood.

"Kradr and the Calm Madman continued up the stairs."
