Verse and Dimensions: Stories. Мастер Исандер
to patiently listen to what Unthil had said. To say that Paradoxus and Logixel were appalled would probably be an understatement. They nearly perished from the Beyond bubble collapse and Venrensorys’ attack—any fear from that could have been completely needless and never felt this whole time. After what Unthil told him finally sank in, Paradoxus was absolutely furious. Paradoxus started to incoherently and angrily rant on Unthil, clearly not realizing anything he said at all. Whatever Logixel thought, he was still willing to protect Unthil and so he got Imaginatim to help him hold Paradoxus back from violently lashing out at Unthil. All that commotion had attracted Conceptilum, Realitus, and a sizable army of gods and mortals.
Realitus made an announcement that Conceptilum had promoted him to “second-in-charge”. Logixel, scared and not too careful about what he was saying, immediately mentioned that Conceptilum was an imposter—he was being possessed by a very dangerous entity called “Kotoblade”. Logixel stated that Conceptilum was trapped and unable to do anything at all until the Council could free him. Logixel warned Realitus to not listen to anything the entity would tell him at all costs. The entity possessing the SuperGod’s leader seemed rather impressed that the SuperGods had found out his name as well as rather quickly finding out that Conceptilum was being used. Realitus thought about what Logixel had just told him. He then made his stance clear. Imposter or not, Realitus finally had the approval he desired. That was all that mattered to him. Realitus then mentioned that he and his army have come over to usurp the position of who he considered the current second-in-command, Unthil.
Kotoblade was intently paying attention to Logixel and Imaginatim. He seemed rather disappointed at Logixel and rather wary of Imaginatim. Kotoblade calmly asked Logixel how he felt after all these eons, even mentioning him by name. Logixel was very perplexed. He had no idea how Kotoblade knew his name or why Kotoblade acted as if he knew him personally. Kotoblade did not seem to notice Paradoxus, who was now focusing his attention on Kotoblade. At any moment, Paradoxus might strike. At last, Paradoxus could no longer restrain himself and he blindly attempted to attack Kotoblade. However, Unthil managed to block Paradoxus’s attack and absorb retaliating blows that Kotoblade attempted to deal to Paradoxus. Kotoblade wasn’t about to tolerate SuperGods attempting to attack him. Kotoblade, in a rage, called for his army to attack. He then decided to erase Unthil from existence with his new omnipotent^3 powers.
The imposter Conceptilum got a hold of the severely degraded Unthil and began to viciously deconstruct the far weaker SuperGod. Shocked but realizing that Unthil was giving the SuperGods a chance to escape, Paradoxus swiftly erased a significant number of lowly entities with zero hesitation, firmly grasped onto Logixel and Imaginatim and got away from Kotoblade and Realitus as fast as he possibly could. While Unthil felt the sensation of his siblings’ presence fade as they ran, total nothingness started to surround him. As it did, Unthil remained unable to tell how Realitus felt in the moment. As Unthil’s consciousness was fading away, an outline of an image of his father remained ever present until everything at last disappeared.
Paradoxus, Logixel, and Imaginatim managed to safely flee from Kotoblade and sought refuge near a cohort of monocosms where Hellensoerensen was hidden. Paradoxus was tempted to ask to activate Hellensoerensen, but Logixel told him off before he could. Logixel using Hellensoerensen as a means of erasing or incapacitating Kotoblade was an extremely bad idea as that would also potentially erase or incapacitate Conceptilum if the SuperGods were not too careful. Paradoxus pointed out that it was also a very bad idea to leave the bot alone and free for Kotoblade or Realitus to use. Upon the mention of Realitus, the older SuperGods thought about him. They were very baffled that the SuperGod had joined Kotoblade’s side. Paradoxus wanted to knock some sense into the younger SuperGod, while Logixel wanted to remain hopeful that Realitus would realize the mistake he made before it was too late. In the moment, Realitus likely did not realize that his leader was even possessed and Kotoblade took advantage of Realitus’ desire for attention. Paradoxus criticized Logixel’s optimism—Realitus is far too stupid to realize any of his mistakes. This mistake would not be any different whatsoever and the young SuperGod would never learn. Paradoxus noted that Unthil would likely agree with his opinion on Realitus. Logixel, after shutting Paradoxus up after the older SuperGod mentioned that Realitus was dropped as an egg, thought deeply about Unthil and what he had told the SuperGods. He hoped that Unthil was telling the truth about his devices and that he would appear to them at any moment. Paradoxus hoped that Unthil had told the truth too—but he was more keen to tell Unthil off and have him provide even more information on the situation with his powers. Kotoblade had to be dealt with promptly and without any delay. The older SuperGods remembered to direct their attention towards Imaginatim. They noticed that she was starting to act oddly again. Imaginatim was chatting to herself, having a full conversation with what seemed to be no one at all. The older SuperGods were about to dismiss this as an instance of a new imaginary friend, until Imaginatim referred to her new friend as “Unthil”. Logixel was ecstatic and desperately inquired Imaginatim about Unthil while Paradoxus surveyed his location, in case Unthil was nearby. Unthil was not present at all. The older SuperGods began to grow very worried and unsettled.
Realitus was very alarmed when Conceptilum had slaughtered Unthil. When Conceptilum had agreed to take away Unthil’s power, Realitus had imagined that the omniscient^3 would be simply demoted or perhaps exiled. Instead, Unthil was, at least to him, undeniably permanently erased. Unthil was his least favourite sibling, but he was somewhat unsure about his father’s decision being the right one. Realitus tried his best to convince himself that the decision was entirely in the right—Unthil being gone would mean that he would no longer be around to boss the younger SuperGod around and tell him what he did “wrong”. Deep down, Realitus wondered whatever happened to Unthil being the favourite SuperGod of Conceptilum and wondered if his siblings were right about his father being an imposter too, but he did his best to repress such thoughts. Conceptilum was finally praising him for his work and allowing him to manage Beyond—this was what he had always wanted. Realitus’ other three siblings had fled from Conceptilum and it was possible that they might escape Beyond entirely—leaving the burden of managing everything to only him and Conceptilum. All throughout his life, Realitus had claimed he should run the Council but at this point, there practically was no Council—there were no SuperGod subordinates he could order around—just only one superior. Realitus thought about how he could get Paradoxus and Logixel back to the Council so that Beyond could be managed.
As Realitus thought, he noticed Conceptilum very clumsily attempting to create Creators and Destroyers, presumably to recruit into the army. The created entities were very deformed and disorderly alomic anathemas to Realitus—nothing at all like the Creators and Destroyers Paradoxus and Logixel often admitedly crafted very well. Realitus felt the need to speak up to his leader. Realitus told Conceptilum that his entities looked absolutely horrendous and that they deserved on-the-spot erasure. Before Realitus was about to show how entity creation was to be properly done, Conceptilum suddenly snapped. He destroyed his creations and erased many nearby monocosms. Realitus was surprised. His father throwing a tantrum out of nowhere was a very jarring scene to bestow upon. Realitus grew anxious about the omniverses within the monocosms, but felt quite relieved when he realized that they were Imaginatim’s pitiful creations and not his works of perfection. Conceptilum broke down and blubbered about how “nobody appreciated him” and how he wanted “it all to end” for no apparent reason. The omnipotent^3 entity furiously began to destroy even more monocosms. Realitus, not once thinking about any implications of what Conceptilum had just said, decided to arrange some of Imaginatim’s creations so that they would be in Conceptilum’s way in order for them to be destroyed. Realitus found this very amusing and chuckled to himself. Unfortunately, Conceptilum seemed to take Realitus’ amusement the wrong way and was quick to threaten to take away Realitus’s position in the Council. This shut Realitus up. Conceptilum seemed to calm down and then gently ordered Realitus to manipulate some more entities onto their side. Realitus complied with his leader’s demands and set to work expanding his following. Perhaps, Paradoxus and Logixel would be brought back into the Council later when Conceptilum was more willing to listen to him.
Unthil found himself embedded within a strange realm of nothing but pure incoherent bunkum and balderdash. The verses surrounding him were very vibrant and possessed exotic structures that no stable verse within Beyond could
