MY 10,000× DIMENSIONAL SYSTEM - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Weaver I
Weaver I

Aisha and Sylvaris were sitting at a table on the top of a very tall tree that allowed them to overlook the majority of the Elven capital. And they weren’t the only ones there.

On another seat, a beautiful woman who had bark like skin could be seen, her eyes closed as she took a sip from a cup made from very high quality wood.

When she finished, she gently placed down the cup and opened her eyes which were a beautiful Verdant.

“So, it would appear that this Christopher person is a lot more significant than the two of you initially thought, despite little Felicia here having a vision that the fate of this world depends on him. His recent feats have solidified this point even more.” She spoke and Sylvaris and her daughter nodded respectfully.

“Yes mother. We knew he was special. But, even then, what he displayed that day was simply unbelievable. And the fact that his subordinates singlehandedly dealt with each attack that was happening is even more astounding.” Sylvaris spoke respectfully, and it wasn’t odd.

After all, the woman in front of them was the personification of the being every Elf looked up to and was responsible for a good deal of their existence. The World Tree.

She was both incredibly old, and incredibly powerful. Even more powerful than Sinestra. However that bangs the question, if that’s the case, why did she allow such destruction to come upon her people?

Well, that was because she simply couldn’t.

She had vowed to nurture the Elven race until she died. And that meant nurturing millions of beings in a signore region alone.

Children were being born every day and it was her job to make sure they had the required life force to grow. That’s because the elves actually have a pretty depressing secret.

If not for the world tree, they would be far less, and far weaker than they are currently. That’s because without her nurturing, Elven babies naturally have an extremely small life force, even less than human babies. As such, they die far easier than most other race infants.

Because Of this, a long time ago, the Elven race was actually on the brink of extinction due to most of their children dying so early. That was when their ancestor managed to discover the world tree and she took pity on them. As such, she vowed to give life to them.

She’d transfer her lifeforce to each newborn and continue this Process for every newly born elf.

Because of this, she had a limited amount of energy to actually do things like fight. Which is why even when the Voidwalkers were attacking, she made no move to assist. And she would have only done so if things became too hairy. Luckily though, it didn’t come to that.

“So now what?” She asked and Sylvaris sighed.

“His current location is unknown, but he said he’d keep in touch. So at the moment I want to rebuild the damages done and after that, gather a group of powerful elves to search for the Voidwalkers and eradicate them.” Hearing this, the personification of the world Tree, Yggdrassil Nodded.

“Mm. Don’t be too hasty alright? I understand that you’re seething with what they did. So am I. But it’s best to heal our wounds before we think of attacking first.” She advised and Sylvaris nodded slowly.

However, It was at that moment that space suddenly fluctuated, and then a rift opened.

Sylvaris tensed, but she felt the familiar Mana signature and her shoulders relaxed. However, a moment later, she frowned again, whereas Yggdrassil’s expression darkened.

That’s because from within the portal, Thanatos stepped through. Not bothering to hide the Aura of death and darkness that followed him.

He stood tall and observed the three people watching him. And silently, he retracted the Aura of death he gave off and said with a surprising amount of respect.

“Your Highness, Princess, Lady Yggdrassil.” He greeted each of them and they relaxed slightly.

“You… are the one Christopher sent to assist us previously.” Sylvaris spoke and Thanatos nodded.

“Indeed. And he sent me once more to relay a message.” Hearing This, Yggdrassil spoke.

“And why couldn’t he come himself?” Thanatos spared her a glance.

“Because you aren’t the only ones to receive this message, and he is busy. So fortunately or unfortunately, I’m the one to relay the message.” He spoke with a neutral tone and Yggdrasil snorted softly.

“What’s the message?” Aisha asked, more curious than anything else.

“Long story, the Voidwalkers have summoned massive amounts of Void Creatures to attack pretty much every significant race in the world so that it will both get you lot to not actively look for them as well as sow Chaos and give them a better chance at stealing the Shards from that sword.” Hearing this, everyone stared at Thanatos in shock.

“What?! How… how many Void Creatures?” Aisha asked again and Thanatos answered calmly.

“Thousands. Per race.” Aisha blanched.

“How is that possible?” Sylvaris asked with doubt.

“It’s something they’d been planning for a while. But since we thwarted their attempts at stealing the Sword Shards, they had to change their plans and speed things up.” Sylvaris fell silent.

“And how did you obtain this information?” Yggdrasil didn’t seem too bothered and asked with a touch of curiosity.

“Master has his ways.” Thanatos answered and showed no signs of elaborating which caused the ancient entity to pout.

“Okay well. Now that you’ve told us, what’s the end goal? I don’t assume you came here just to tell us that we might be going extinct soon and leave it.” She asked and Thanatos nodded.

“Indeed. There is another reason for my presence.” Hearing this, the three women looked at him with intrigue.

“Me. I’ll be the one to defend this place.” His answer sent them for a loop.

“You? Handle thousands of Void Creatures on your own? Not to be rude but you hardly seem capable of such a feat. Sure you did a great job quelling the sneak attack and handling the Void Creatures that came here. But thousands?” Yggdrasil was not convinced and echoed the thoughts of Sylvaris and Aisha.

And to that, Thanatos just shrugged.

“I don’t need you guys to believe me. I’m here to do as my Master instructed me. Whether or not you doubt my capabilities isn’t my concern. Ad long as you don’t get in my way, you can doubt all you want.” Thanatos said bluntly and the three females felt their eyes twitch. What an odd being.

“Fine. Say we do believe you. Just how would you handle that many Creatures?” Sylvaris asked and Thanatos smirked behind his mask.

“You lot seem to have forgotten what I am.” He chuckled and let his Aura leak out, causing the faces of Sylvaris and Aisha to pale while Yggdrasil’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“I’m a Lich. Numbers are where I excel.”

Christopher sat down cross-legged at the top of a tall building within the Haven of the Enlightened. His hands were moving through the air at incredible speed.

To an outsider, it would look like he was just doing cool tricks. But to him, he was doing something a lot more complicated than that.

Norn… was easily one of the most useful items he possessed, with his Dimension taking first place firmly.

Her ability to observe and manipulate Fate was simply too valuable to not exploit. And that’s what Christopher was doing right now.

He’d touch a thread of Fate and read what possibility it held and weave it in a certain way. And due to his high speed Thought processing, he could do multiple of these every second.

As such, he was reading many possibilities and then weaving them in a way to match his desires. That’s right, Christopher was weaving Fate. To achieve the best outcome he could for the upcoming future.

He’d thought about that when he started, the fact that he went from a poor bum to literally weaving the Fate of a significant event of a world was something insane.

And yet, he wasn’t even perturbed that much. He’d gotten used to it.

‘Humans are weird like that.’ He thought.

Still, inasmuch As he was weaving fate to achieve his goals, he wasn’t placing too heavy of an expectation on it. And that’s for a simple reason.

The stronger a being become, the more attuned they were to the laws of the world. Which allowed them to sense things differently from normal people.

It’s because of that the Eminence managed to sense that someone was spying on him through fate. As such, Christopher decided to come up with an easy fix.

The thing was, fate was still a form of magic. Aisha was a clear example as she used fate magic, though she wasn’t really adept with it and kinda just had a passive attunement to it.

But Christopher was different.

Because if Fate was magic, it was something that was a part of the world.

And if it was a part of the world, it was made of runes.

And if it was made of runes, wouldn’t a certain Primordial Human with Runic Insight and an incomparably pure soul be able to something a little bit interesting?
