Fix It
Was Christopher happy that his mask was so powerful? Yes.
The Codex also explained a few questions he had. For instance, his mask was easily one of the most potent tools he possessed, but the fact it didn't have a consciousness like Scarlet or Norn was sothing that bugged him for a while. But now he knew that Ancient Artifacts weren't necessarily sentient but possessed a purpose they set out to complete, which made sense.
However, he couldn't dwell on that too much for a simple reason.
'System.' He said calmly.
[Yes Master.]
'Is it a coincidence that the two Redacted examples are similar to Scarlet and Norn?'
[No.]
'Explain.'
[Understood.] The system went silent for a mont before continuing.
[The System doesn't operate blindly. While the Progression Seed Protocol (PSP) ensures that all following evolutions adhere to a structured and fair principle, it doesn't dictate the specific form an evolution must take. Instead, the system relies on its ability to observe, both present and past events, and it adapts. Much like how it has been adapting to your path of growth, the sa applies to everything else under its influence. Moreover, the System has observed countless entities, artifacts, relics, phenona, and events across existence before fusing with you. Utilizing this vast database, the path of adaptation the system takes changes to one that aligns with both optimal efficiency and integrity.] It paused and Christopher digested the information for a mont before it continued.
[Scarlet and Norn, as Sovereign rank weapons with high potential, were influenced by concepts already present in existence. The two [Redacted] artifacts noted in the Codex, one embodying Annihilation and the other Fate, acted as templates for their continued progression based on what the system observed.]
[To clarify, they were not forced to resemble these artifacts. Rather, their natural evolution path resonated with similar concepts behind these principles. The system rely refined their potential based on the information at hand, and quite frankly, as things stand, they will most likely surpass the aforentioned artifacts given enough enhancents.]
[This thod ensures that no entity within the Primordial Expanse including yourself is being pulled towards an uncertain path that may have less than desirable results. Moreover, Master, if you rember when I was explaining how evolving bloodlines worked, I said that it's difficult to find the true peak for a specific bloodline and I'm evolving it based on minute traces of sothing greater within. When I said that, I wasn't doing anything haphazardly and was instead choosing the traces I judged to yield the greatest results for the person in question. Take the entity nad Kim for example. There were many traces in her bloodline that offered great strength and ability but took away from her primary Trait which was speed. So I chose the one that wasn't only powerful but also suited her best. It's a similar premise here.] When it finished, the sharpness in Christopher's eyes softened.
'It has a point I suppose.' He sighed slightly before nodding.
'Alright then, your response was satisfactory.' Upon saying this, the system spoke once more.
[Appreciated.] Then it went silent.
With a sigh, Christopher overlooked the Primordial Expanse. With his ti Dilation now having been increased to 32:1, he had quite a bit of ti on his hands, and he wanted to settle sothing within the Expanse that was bugging him a little bit, and that was the structure of the Dinsion.
Currently, Nihilheim was the biggest of the four celestial bodies within the dinsion. This wasn't too much of an issue, at least not at the mont.
But here's where the issue started. Edenveil is the Hotspot for every living thing and where he stays mostly, while is also the place that represents Creation. Nihilheim was of similar size but is filled with Void energy and is where the Voidwalkers reside, the newest Celestial body, Glacera which he got from absorbing large chunks of the hidden realm into his Dinsion, and the 'moon' which is the place with the greatest equilibrium of Void and creation energy and stays in the center of the Dinsion with the other three orbiting it.
Now here's his issue. Glacera is still technically under creation, and despite being a separate celestial body, it technically adds to Edenveil. And to maintain balance, whenever Edenveil or Nihilheim increases size, the other increases size to match. Glacera is a bit bigger than Edenveil, so as such, Nihilheim increased its size to match both of them. Causing it to beco the biggest celestial body.
Now this isn't too bad, but the problem is what happens when Christopher assimilates the entire Hidden Realm which is light-years big? Edenviel will remain the sa size, but Glacera and consequently Nihilheim will get massive.
Rember, Edenveil and Glacera are independent celestial bodies, but since they are both perceived as under-creation, if one gets massive, Nihilheim will get massive.
So if Glacera is assimilated and gets big with Nihilheim, Edenveil will still be 'small'.
This is the issue he's trying to solve at the mont.
Moreover, even if he makes it so that Nihilheim's size doesn't spike to overcompensate, there's still the fact that Glacera will beco massive once the hidden realm is assimilated, which will then beco even after when it gets enhanced by the Dinsion.
With it being so large, the balance achieved would shatter.
So now Christopher was trying to figure out how to either, grow Edenveil to match the size of Nihilheim so that it matches the other two, or the growth of Glacera is managed to prevent it from breaking the balance.
He intended to assimilate the entire Hidden Realm, but he wouldn't do so until this issue was resolved, which he planned to do right now. The problem was how?
Well, he hadn't just been idle. One perk of having a mind that moved so fast was his ability to split his attention between different things at once. So after so careful consideration, he ca up with a solution, and it revolved around the moon.
He activated Dinsional Managent with a thought. With how high its level was currently, the things he could do with his Dinsion were on another level.
He focused on the moon and imdiately ignored the 'thing' that lived on it which seed to be sleeping before focusing on the moon itself. It was perfectly divided in two, one side representing the dark void and the other representing the deep blue Mana related to creation.
At first, he considered dividing it into three so that he could make space for a third part to represent Glacera. But that would be redundant as the moon wasn't representing elents, but the core concepts that were creation and Oblivion, and since Glacera fell under the distinction of Creation, it wouldn't change anything.
As such, Christopher decided to use the moon as a sort of... storage container.
There wasn't a limit to how much Creation and Oblivion energy Christopher could put into the moon as far as he was concerned. So he decided that he would pour a vast amount of the creation energy that would co from assimilating Glacera into his Dinsion into the creation part of the moon. And when Nihilheim grew to compensate, he would do the sa to the Void side.
Then he'd condense the two on their separate sides to prevent the moon from getting too big. That was the idea, so that's what he did.
With a thought, two vast streams surged from Glacera and Nihilheim towards the moon. It happened in an instant, so when the streams reached, more of the energies started to be added to the moon.
As a result, Glacera and Nihilheim started shrinking and the moon was about to start getting bigger. But instead of letting that happen, a command from Christopher prevented this causing the energy to accumulate and condense.
If one looked at the moon, they'd see that the two halves seed to get... deeper.
It was easier to tell when it ca to the Creation side as the shade of blue simply turned more vibrant. But it was hard, or rather impossible to see a change in the color of the Void side since that side represented nothingness, so a color couldn't be attributed to it.
It was more apt to say that the sense of emptiness one got from looking at it beca stronger as the idea of Oblivion was 'condensed' into the moon.
Soon. Glacera and Nihilheim had shrunk down to the sa size as Nihilheim while the moon, despite being the sa size, had an even stronger presence than before. It was impressive, to say the least.
Christopher let out a satisfied smile. He still had so ideas for when he assimilated the entire Hidden Realm, but this would suffice for now.
'Now that that's done.' He smiled and teleported to one of the new and improved training rooms. Obviously, it was a lot more durable with a lot more settings than before, and it was simply massive. Christopher judged that it was as big as a small planet in space alone, space magic clearly being used to make it larger.
With a smile, he teleported his subordinates over.
