I.. Am God?-Chapter 183 Raunveruleiki
"How would I contact those of the outside world? Is there any way to do so? As far as I know, there is no pathway in this world that would let me be able to transcend this realm." Andre doubted about talking to the outside world, since the beginning of his life, he hadn't seen things that could've come from the outside world that would lead him to look for a path.
"That, you have to answer yourself. It's either you find a path, or you wait for someone to enter." Solomon replied. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
Suddenly, he ordered Andre. "Wear the crown now. Let's not dilly-dally any longer." Andre nodded and extended his hand.
The golden crown that was resting atop one of the podiums suddenly shook violently and abruptly flew to Andre's hand. Holding it with two hands, Andre raised his hand and slowly placed it on his head.
When the crown finally sat fittingly onto his head, light suddenly burst out from all its corners. Slowly, the images of the sun and the moon and the world appeared behind him and moved behind his head in a circular manner.
Andre's eyes glowed like stars as he saw everything that was happening in the world. The gods sitting on their throne while talking to their subordinates, Cris boarding the Hover while drinking a glass of scotch and smoking a fat piece of tobacco, Chairperson Mimicry in his King image while sitting on a chair and reading documents, and Nari laughing with her friends with a sweet smile on her face.
Seeing her, Andre suddenly flinched as that state of his vanished. Solomon, on the other hand, looked at him peculiarly, "What did you see? You should've been like that for at least five minutes. It's only been two."
"None of your business." Andre replied indifferently and waved his two hands to the side. "Let's get this done." He said.
As soon as Andre said so, Solomon snapped his fingers and the seal just opened with a "pop!".
Expecting more, Andre had a confused look on his face and turned to Solomon, "What's next?"
"What do you mean, "What's next"? That's it?" Solomon said without any expression on his face.
"You aren't fooling me?" Andre narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.
"Do you not notice the aura around you?" Solomon reminded him. Andre took notice and he was bewildered when he felt the immense ancientness of the aura that is currently surrounding the room.
"Drop your blood on it as a proof of ownership." Solomon said.
Andre himself knows this process. It is an ancient kind of ritual that was once an unspoken rule from their age. Blood branding, as what they call it before, binds the owner and the object in unity in a type of blood connection that would make the object less aggressive against the owner when using.
For the mortals, their savage way of blood branding was to bite their thumb and let the blood flow down before dropping the blood onto the object. For them, they do a different method.
Andre hovered his hands at the top of the codex. From the pores of his fingertips, blood oozed out slowly and gathered together below his palm before shooting down and fusing together with the book.
Andre felt the connection between him and the book. Although he can't automatically understand all of the information that is written inside, he still felt that there were some arrays inside the book that acknowledged his ownership.
Suddenly, he saw Solomon's soul dash towards the book and successfully entered it, shocking him. "What are you doing?!" He exclaimed.
"I am bored staying in that ring, might as well stay inside the world inside here." Solomon said.
"What? World?" He asked with a flabbergasted face.
"Open the book and read." Solomon lazily said before not speaking anymore.
Complying with the soul, Andre opened the book and saw a highly complex rune with a total of seven hundred and fifty sub-arrays and a grand total of 99,999 runes compressed inside the grand array.
What was shocking was that the array was only the size of a usual circular protractor! Such an intricate array was compressed to that size? He gawked.
He then read the words that was surrounding the array. "A coalescence of different universal laws and grand arrays?" He placed his hand on the array and inserted his conscious inside.
Suddenly, he felt his soul being sucked inside and when he opened his eyes, he saw a paradise. He saw mountains, plains, floating islands, long waterfalls, magnificent rivers, and breathtaking scenries with flowers, insects, and animals on land while birds chirping in harmony while flapping their wings on the sky.
He heard the gushing of the waters around him, he felt the soft cool breeze that brushed on his skin, he smelled the fresh air and the greens and the water vapor all around him.
Andre was in awe in all of the things that was happening around him. Although he was a very powerful and old being that has lived since the world's inception, he could very confidently say that he had he had never seen such a magnificent world in his life.
Although the Spirit Realm where Duos, his subordinate, resides is also a very magical place that was filled with fairies, elves, and woodland creatures alike, it still wasn't near the beauty of this place.
"Fascinating, isn't it?" A familiar voice suddenly said with a slight wonder.
"What is this, Solomon?" Andre turned around and saw that Solomon, who was once a soul, materialized a physical body inside the space, which shocked and terrified him a little bit. "What happened to your body?!" He exclaimed.
"Your first and second question is actually connected." Solomon said and explained, "This realm– or creation, rather– is a space that borders imagination and reality. The universe calls it a Dream Realm, where everything can come true depending on the power level of the Raunveruleiki Glorious Array. That is why I can materialized a body for me inside this Dream Realm."
"The Raunveruleiki Glorious Array that I have created is at most in the level of the peak of the low-tier as I had insufficient supplies at that time and it also lacked some runes and arrays that were hard to make." Solomon sighed.
"There exists a time dilation here, where one day here is an hour outside. It's pretty decent, but it's all that it can do. But with enough arrays and materials, it could improve." Solomon consoled but Andre had a shocked express the whole time.
Solomon saw his reaction and waved his hands, "Don't worry. The runes and arrays that are essential and arrays that could strengthen the array are written on the book and are stored here, so you can still create an array that is greater than this, if you can ever create one."
"I'm not worrying about the arrays that are needed!" Andre exclaimed with frustration, "What I am shocked is that this is just a low-tier one?! Then what about the high-tier array?! Can it summon creatures that could destroy worlds?!" He said sarcastically.
"No." When he heard this, Andre sighed with relief. But, that didn't last very long.
"Such creations could be created by having just a peak mid-tier one, although that would use up the majority of its energy." Solomon added, which made Andre gawk with astonishment. "Really?" Andre widened his eyes.
"Yes. A mid-tier Dream Realm can one such creature while a high-tier one can create and materialize creations that has powers equal or even beyond that of an Omega-level being." This time, Andre became even more shocked with what he was hearing.
"Shouldn't such creation be impossible?" He asked. Solomon then shook his head, "There's almost anything you can do in the universe. The only thing that can render the indifferent universe to move against you would be changing the destined fate. Hell, one can even create a universe within a universe if that person has the capability to do so."
Andre was too shocked to speak. All this time, he was actually limiting himself even though there's still a huge gap between him and the peak. While he was digesting the knowledge that was thrown at him, Solomon suddenly said to him another piece of information, "As you are already the owner of the codex, you are also the supreme law of this realm. You can extend your will as far as you want, and you will see a mansion. That is where I store all of my knowledge."
"I thought that the knowledge is written in the book?" Andre asked with a puzzled expression.
"That is just the basics." Solomon answered. "I didn't write much knowledge in it, considering that someone unworthy might possess it. That is why I stored all of the true knowledge inside of the space, so it is protected."
"With that strong of a seal, you're scared that it might be obtained by someone unworthy?" Andre looked at him with contempt.
"Anyways."
