I hope this doesn't take long." He said as he signaled for the first sage.
His barrier won't hold on for long. He is as strong as a Sovereign but he doesn't have a concept to resist the corrosive properties of void energy. A titan of law won't be able to perfectly utilize their concepts to resist void energy either. They too will be invaded and corroded by the oppressive void energy. It is why Sovereigns are needed if anyone wants to leave the realm tree for the upper realm. He is lacking in that aspect so void energy is wearing him down gradually.
He is not ant to be in the void of the void universe. He can't survive here. It is just a matter of ti before he dies. The incredible pressure and the corrosion will kill him in a few minutes. He shouldn't need a few minutes if everything goes well. If everything doesn't go well then being able to survive indefinitely in void energy won't help him one bit. Any problem with a world god is surely greater than the ability to survive in the void.
He looked back and saw the realm tree. It stands tall and looks majestic. He can't see how tall it is because he is so close to it. The leaf of the realm tree that he ca out from fills most of his vision. The rest of the tree can be seen just behind the leaf. He can see enough of the realm tree to know how big it is. It is massive. It is also an indication of how big world gods are. The sight doesn't fill him with confidence for his upcoming eting.
He will need to approach the leaf he ca out from if he wants to enter the Virut plane again. The pressure of his situation and the dread of the upcoming eting is making the leaf look pretty enticing right now. Everything around him is telling him he doesn't belong here. That he should run back to the safety of the realm.
"How I wish I could obey the warnings." He thought wistfully.
He doesn't need the hostile environnt to feel like leaving the void. He is not suicidal so he likes safety. He doesn't want to be here but he can't leave yet. So he continued to wait for what he ca for. Fortunately, he didn't wait for long before the sage arrived. He felt it before he saw the first sage.
He just knew that sothing powerful was coming. The world changed and he could sense this change. The coming of the sage is an anomaly in the void universe. A world god should not be in the light side of the universe so the light side had to accommodate sothing that shouldn't be here. Soverick tried to keep his calm. It beca increasingly difficult to do so as the changes in the surroundings peaked. Even the light side of the universe is not calm because of the advent of a world god. So it is very difficult for him to be calm.
The world was shaking, literally. He felt the intense vibrations in the law matrix and in the world of manifestation too. The ocean of void energy beca turmoil as if it is preparing for a storm. Random energy conversions began to occur and matter began to transform without impetus. Sothing is throwing the world out of balance. The unpleasant changes intensified until the perpetrator appeared.
A titanic white battle sage monkey tore space apart and stepped through it. It rose from the tear in space like so god and towered above Soverick in all its glory. He couldn't see the full size of the monkey at all. It is that big.
Soverick's heart sank. His tenuous hold on his calmness slipped and broke apart. Fear filled every inch of his existence. But he didn't run away. He stayed still and expected his death or worse.
The sage arrived with a body instead of a simple manifestation. It does not bode well for him. No entity that isn't immortal can witness this sight and not feel fear. Even immortals are smart enough to fear world gods. As for him, every instinct that he has scread imnsely danger.
It is not a matter of being smart. It is a matter of basic self-preservation and the need to continue living. There is no doubt about it. He knows it down to his non-existent bones that he is not safe at all. He can die at any mont. Or worse, he can die forever.
"It is such a nice day today." The sage said to him.
"Yes, it is." He managed to say.
He was expecting so shenanigans from the sage. Sothing like being frozen or killed imdiately. He didn't expect them to be making small talk at all. That didn't make him feel safer though. It only made him more alert. Which is futile in his situation.
Being alert and suspicious won't help him at all. If a world god wants to play and toy with him before he kills him, then that world god will play and toy with him before he kills him no matter how alert he is to that possibility.
The sage remarked idly, "The world continues to move on and change is inevitable. Only those that can go along with the tis will survive the incoming tides."
"Yes, yes." He said. Then he gathered his courage. "So what's the deal? Are you going to give what I ca here for or not?" He asked.
He is in a hurry right now. And as much as he will like to engage in chit-chat with the sage, he doesn't have the ti. Yes, he should be afraid and yes, he is very afraid. But that doesn't an he will roll over easily. Fear and courage can go hand in hand. It is important that they do since fear is of no use.
