"Give me your trash bin so I can empty it."
Zero thought there was some trick behind this.
"I refuse!"
An idea then hit him.
Path of Somnus: God's Death.
He was in a dream...
He did the 'S' gesture and portals opened as far as the eye could see.
He stepped through the first portal and escaped from his cell.
He then found himself in a nothingness.
His visualization technique continued to rotate.
"I'm an idiot! of course!"
He reached into his pocket and tried to pull out his pocket watch.
But nothing happened.
So he began to recite his global existence.
Except he left his timeline blank.
This is the step of leaving your multiverse.
He was pushed outside of the abyss.
Zero found himself in a place that should not be named.
Immediately he was stared at by giant abominations!
He gasped in excitement.
"Original Incarnations!"
"You dare gaze upon us? Foolish mortal!"
"Erase!"
He was covered in blackness.
Before it could erase him.
He could clearly feel the flow of time was different here.
It was as if thousands of years were passing in a second.
Or no time was passing at all.
His comprehension of time could definitely improve here.
He spoke back to the original incarnation.
"Foolish higher being... you dare gaze upon me?!"
You see, when Zero checked his properties earlier.
He noticed his 'soul' was quite weak here in this dream.
This should mean that his aptitude is a lot higher here.
He then carved runes into a sword and pierced his soul.
The progress was insane!

60 runes.
120 runes.
First spell template.
180 runes.
360 runes.
Second spell template.
The knife pierced his soul and mana begin to flow in from the environment.
He then carved his infinity in the first layer of his soul.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Infinity", Level: 1, Type: Shield, Element: Mana, Cost: 0, Desc: "Form a shield of infinity around the user."}
It then covered his entire body.
The blackness surrounded him but was unable to cross infinity.
The original incarnation named Judgement was dumbfounded.
"How did this mortal resist getting erased?"
Zero ignored its question and began to meditate.
720 runes.
Three templates.
He then carved infinite flight into the 2nd layer of his soul.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Infinite Flight", Level: 2, Type: Target, Element: Mana, Cost: 0, Desc: "Allows the target to fly."}
1440 runes.
Four templates.
He then carved Infinite mind into the third layer of his soul.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Infinite Mind", Level: 3, Type: Self, Element: Mana, Cost: 0, Desc: "Protects self against all forms of illusions and mind traps."}
2880 runes.
Five templates.
He carved Infinite soul into the fourth layer of his soul.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Infinite Soul", Level: 4, Type: Self, Element: Mana, Cost: 0, Desc: "Protects soul against all forms of attacks."}
At this point multiple incarnations were attacking him.
His infinity was cracking a little bit.
But he was able to withstand the attacks.
5760 runes.
Six templates.
11520 runes
Seven templates.
He had officially recovered his strength.
He cast Gateway and opened up a portal to the chaos realm.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Gateway", Level: 5, Type: Area, Element: Mana, Cost: 2500, Desc: "Open up a portal to a location."}
He walked through and found himself at his bridge.
"Let's see... I'm going to want some nanites."
I went back to the door that led to my original civilization.
When I stepped through I was attacked by lasers and bombs.
Nothing happened to me of course.
"I'm Zero! I've come for..."
I use echo to hack into the nanites of the soldier walking towards me.
They all fly out of his body and form a ball in my hand.
"I'll need to modify these to be the nanites from the origin race if I want them to be able to cross infinity."
He ignored the people firing at him and searched the soul of the soldier who had gone mad from having no nanites.
He then killed the soldier and walked to their base.
He once again ignored all of the security and flew to their laboratory and begin to experiment.
It was slightly annoying at first, because they kept breaking equipment while trying to bomb him to death.
But after they figured out they couldn't beat him they retreated.
After injecting himself with the improved nanites...
He traveled around the world and found one of the bases of Genesis.
He searched the vault, but was unable to find his pocket watch.
"Whatever. I'm basically back to full strength."
So he contemplated.
"How exactly do I escape this dream?"
He went back to the chaos realm and meditated.
He waited... and waited.
But nothing happened.
"Don't force me to use my ultimate move!"
Time Skip!
Thousands of years went by in an instant.
But nothing happened.
The intelligence returned to his eyes.
"Alright! That didn't work..."
"I suppose I'll continue mapping out the chaos realm."
After mapping out the chaos realm for a few years.
He noticed something peculiar.
"Time isn't warping like it's suppose to."
"This chaos realm is fake as shit!"
Zero felt a little disappointed.
What he mapped out during this time was all nonsense.
"I must remember... I'm simply in a dream. What I am witnessing is all a fabrication of my mind."
"So that begs the question. How exactly do I control my subconscious to the level where I can leave the dream?"
Wait!
He can't leave the dream.
Not until he comprehends a law.
"So what I need to worry about... is comprehending a law."
"Easy!"
He made an 'S' gesture and opened up a portals as far as the eye could see.
He entered one of the portals and found himself in the abyss.
"Alright. Now I just need to leave this multiverse."
He began to recite his global existence again.
Making sure to leave the timeline blank.
He exited the abyss and found himself in the place that shouldn't be named.
"IT'S YOU AGAIN! YOU DARE GAZE UPON US!"
"I do indeed. You see... I need something from you!"
"DIE!!!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll die and all that jazz... which one of you is Time?"
Zero looked around and saw a mass of abominations almost fused together.
It was hard to tell where one incarnation ended and another began.
