Chapter 48 - Ch 48 (The Truth Of Infinite)

...The golden entity stands—the entity capable of realizing all logically possible infinite worlds, and all logically possible infinite possibilities—the entity stands from the piano while the piano plays by itself! And with the strange music that cannot be understood, is it frightening or beautiful? Melodies that make any being feel absurdity and end determination and hope, melodies and ringing whose beauty or its effect which contradicts its beauty cannot be described. And then Odin is extremely surprised by his inability to move and his inability to perceive the entity; he only sees it as a golden light unlike any other light. And then he says: Who... who are you? Then the golden entity speaks—where its face is, specifically in the location of its right eye, a relatively large black dot appears—and then the entity walks, and suddenly speaks in a voice heard throughout this entire place, saying: I am his limit, I am the result of his striving, I am his future, he is me, I am the result of his struggle. Suddenly, the entity's size increases enormously, making Odin appear as an infinitesimally small dot, while the entity's size appears beyond understanding and perception, surpassing all concepts of size and their meanings. Then the entity representing Sherlock's future and limits says: I am the Supreme Entity, I am the most sublime possible existence, no other possible existence is higher than me, I am one and also absolute infinity. Suddenly, the entity's voice becomes even deeper and more majestic, and it says: You and no other entity were supposed to see him. The consequences of this will be severe. You will die a conceptual death. Then Odin feels his own insignificance, while the entity moves its hand as if encircling Odin with its hand. Suddenly, everything returns to how it was, and sweat appears on Odin. Then Odin releases Sherlock from his hand, and he falls to the ground...

...Thor is surprised, grabs Sherlock, and helps him stand, saying: Are you okay? Did any harm come to you? Then Sherlock stands, saying: No, I'm fine. Signs of tension appear on Odin, and then he says: Go now. Odin looks at Thor and says: Thor, have Sherlock see all the places in the palace. Thor feels strange about his father's reaction, and then Thor says: Come on, Sherlock, I'll show you the palace, you'll like it. Odin looks at Sherlock, who is wearing the mask, as he goes with Thor, and says to himself [What was that? That was something extremely transcendent, I didn't understand it at all. That music—I feel it in my heart. I feel like I don't want to live anymore. Who in hell was that? An extremely transcendent golden light! Although I don't remember everything, there's something strange that I truly don't know]. Odin sighs and sits down, thinking very deeply. The golden entity did not leave Odin when he tried to see what Sherlock was; the entity left within him something extremely transcendent and pure, conceptual, resulting from the understanding and perception of the golden entity. Something with the power to change the self and goals in a moment. Spiritual power and entities always have a goal. This thing drops the goal, changes it, and manipulates the essence of anything. While Odin thinks, he says in a weak, whispering voice: The idea of death is not a bad thing at all, I will rest from everything, yes I will return to what I was: nothing!..

...The presence of the golden entity was an existence that made any entity rearrange its meanings and purposes. Everything from its thinking to its goals and purposes changes. It was not manipulation of the entities' minds, but manipulation of the very essence and core of the entities themselves. While Sherlock and Thor move together, Thor speaks, saying: I hope you can forgive what my father did. He's the type who never likes to see anything stronger than him or anything that rivals him. Thor laughs lightly, saying: Man, even though you have indeed become stronger—I can feel it through your aura—I want to know why my father did that to you. The difference in power and experience between you is vast. Sometimes my father brags for no reason; don't concern yourself with it. Then Sherlock says: No problem at all, Thor. And also, the important thing: you seem broken inside. Did Loki's death affect you that much? Thor falls silent for moments, and then the smile on his face fades, and he says: Not exactly, but my mother's death as well. I miss her. Thor tries to ignore the conversation and smiles, saying: Follow me, I'll show you the rarest and most valuable thing in the entire palace: the Space Stone, one of the six stones. Sherlock is surprised [The Space Stone! Amazing, I hope it's at least heavily guarded, and also it's good to know the location of one of the stones]. Sherlock moves behind Thor into a huge hall surrounded by countless guards, technology made by masters of the Alchemy Path, and many, many warriors from the Warrior Path, and some from the Boundary Breaker Path, which is characterized by its magical ability to produce things in a magical way like sleight of hand, and many others. Sherlock is very surprised. Thor stands before the door, with many guards standing upon it. Then Thor looks at Sherlock and says: Wait just a minute, even I have to get permission. Then Sherlock says: No problem, take your time. While Thor goes to get permission, Sherlock stands and thinks, remembering the past [I had many relationships in the spirit world, and also many of the personalities there were strange, as if everything in that world was passing quickly. That is the correct conclusion. The world below is the spirit world, an absurd, fast world. The higher you ascend existentially to higher worlds, the more complex the system becomes. I have a higher goal: I will bring everyone back. Every person I saw, every person I welcomed, will have an existence and a return once again]..

..Elsewhere, in a nocturnal city in the vast Continent of the End, while it is raining, and at 11 PM, Rogers appears with his face covered, moving through the street heading to complete a task he has. While everyone in that city is asleep—everyone sleeps at 9 PM—an organized city whose people revere work and diligence. While Rogers moves through the street, suddenly a person with a huge red sword appears, stands before Rogers, raises the sword at him, and says: I know who sent you, you are a follower of the Inverted Faces Organization. Then the man rushes towards Rogers, who looks at the Black Moon and smiles [Alright then, since the moon is black, my speed, endurance, and spiritual power will increase, while my spears will become limited, not infinite]. Rogers takes a dagger from his pocket and rushes towards the unknown person at great speed, and the two exchange blows powerfully..

..The Moon Path was one of the strangest paths. Whenever the moon's color changed, the results for path users changed. The higher one ascended in sequence, the more their power and control over those colors increased, resulting in various and amazing advantages. While the unknown person rushes at Rogers with the sword, Rogers bends down and dodges the sword, and suddenly cuts the person in half. While it is raining, Rogers stands and hears footsteps behind him, turns quickly, and stands without words, catching his breath. The red-haired, slender-bodied lady, Natasha, stands. Then she says: It seems you're on a mission; you look confused and tense. Then Rogers takes his dagger and cleans the blood from it with the rain, and pain appears on him. Then Natasha completes, saying: We must return to how we were. I need you, everyone needs you, the whole team needs you. Rogers looks at Natasha, and with the sound of the rain, Rogers speaks in a defeated voice, saying: Do you think this will fix things? You don't know anything. Stark told me about the main enemy behind all this, several days before we went on the Hornasis Mountains mission. Our main enemy is invincible and possesses all power. Natasha smiles a slight smile and says: It wasn't Stark who brought us back together. Rogers is surprised, saying: Then who? Natasha speaks, saying: It's Sherlock, and I, Roger, and Stark, I think we all came back again. Rogers doesn't speak. Then Natasha, remembering Sherlock's words, continues: We just have to hold onto hope, and through it we achieve everything. If our enemy is invincible, then our determination is also invincible. Then Rogers says with a sarcastic smile: Sherlock? The person we know almost nothing about. We don't even know about the boy who was with him on the Hornasis Mountains; he never told us who he was, and the boy disappeared like dust. Rogers continues with despair, saying: It's not as you think; determination alone isn't enough to defeat this entity. His very form plants terror in you. Then Natasha speaks, saying: If we win, we will win together; if we lose, we will lose together. That's who we defenders are. We must stand like one solid wall. Rogers doesn't speak, drowning in his thoughts. Then Natasha continues: So, are you with us or not? Rogers wipes the blood from his hand and face and sighs, saying: Let's go, that mission doesn't matter. Natasha smiles a slight smile and says: I thought so indeed..

..In Asgard, after a few minutes, Thor returns and stands, saying: Let's go in; the hall will be empty, just you and me inside. Then Sherlock says: Alright then, let's go. Then one of the giants—one of the races in Asgard with a very strong spirit—opens the door. Then Sherlock and Thor enter, and the door closes. The two hear a sound like stardust, a beautiful sound throughout the entire hall. Then Sherlock looks at the stone and is extremely surprised by its beauty and strangeness. The stone appears in a strange form, not a triangle, not a square, not a circle—something very strange, moving around itself. With each movement, illusions appear as if countless stones are moving together behind each other, making it seem as if there is repetition due to the differing laws and existence surrounding the stone, as the stone itself determines them. Then Thor speaks, saying: This then is the Space Stone, isn't it beautiful? Then Sherlock says: It is truly dazzling; it moves in very strange ways. Then Thor smiles a slight smile and says: True, that's what distinguishes it; all laws differ in its region, hence this cube made of transparent material specially designed for it and surrounding it so that the stone's effect doesn't extend to the rest of the hall and surrounding areas. Then Sherlock speaks, saying: Won't you return to the team? We need you, Thor. Everyone is already waiting for you. Then Thor falls silent for a moment. While Thor is about to speak, suddenly the light completely disappears, and then a stranger appears standing before the cube containing the stone. Sherlock looks at him and is surprised [He's from the Eternal Demoness Organization!]. The person smiles, and suddenly very strange dust appears. While the guards try to enter and activate the technologies, everyone notices they have malfunctioned. All the alarms and everything else malfunction. While the giants try to enter the hall, they suddenly stop and move away from the dust, which absorbs all light and prevents the ability to see with the spirit. Inside the hall, Sherlock looks at Thor, who is losing consciousness, and then Thor falls unconscious. While Sherlock's body trembles as he looks at the person with anger, the person takes the cube containing the stone and smiles coldly at Sherlock. Then suddenly opens a portal and disappears. At that moment, Sherlock falls unconscious..

..And inside Sherlock's consciousness, Sherlock dreams of a strange place. An absurd, beautiful world that makes feelings of happiness and sadness reach their highest levels simultaneously. Sherlock stands before a road where carriages move in two opposite directions, while an endless sea appears on the other side. Sherlock stands looking at a person who looks exactly like him, about to cross. Suddenly, the person is hit by a carriage and is badly injured. Then Sherlock says: It's me in the notional past! This is me when I was in the dream of one of the sleepers in the Scattered World. Sherlock looks at himself as he runs towards the buildings, trying to solve the existential dilemma of this world. Then Sherlock says to himself [This is very strange; I don't understand what brought me back here again]. Then someone touches Sherlock's back; he turns around, but sees no one [What was that? Someone did indeed touch me!]. Sherlock doesn't pay much attention and goes, crossing the street without any incident, and stands by the infinite sea. With the strange music that was in the Scattered World, the rhythm in harmony with itself—beautiful and sad music at the same time! Sherlock's ability to see was very similar to when a person is conscious in their dream; it was a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness simultaneously. More precisely, inside dreams, part of consciousness exists and the other part does not. Then Sherlock says: I remember when I was here before, this place was very strange, and the journey was enjoyable. I don't feel like solving another dilemma now. Suddenly, everything turns completely colorless. Sherlock stands in this notional place, the notional existence colorless. Then an entity manifests that is the actual and true absolute perfection, free from deficiency and contradiction. Sherlock cannot look at this strange manifestation; he cannot perceive it. Then Sherlock says: Tell me who you are. Why are you doing this to me? Why do you grant me power? What is the purpose of all this? What is your goal? No sound or expression comes out; the entity never changed while everything else changed. It was self-sufficient and needed nothing. The reason for its existence is that everything changes except it; it is in a state of self-constancy, absolute constancy without deficiency or change. The entity does not think or speak; only its pure will decides everything. Suddenly, an inspiration comes to Sherlock's heart from all logically possible directions, an inspiration as if it has a voice in his head, saying: I am who I am. I am all-wise, all-knowing, all-powerful. Not everything needs to be known by you at this time. Sherlock is surprised and says: Who are you? I don't mean your name or what you describe yourself as; what are you actually? Another inspiration comes from all logically possible places, saying: I am the absolute consciousness that always exists. I am the one who sees the atom and that which is the size of a Planck unit, and smaller to infinity in physical worlds, and in worlds that surpass the concepts of dimensions and spacetime, the spirit world—I see everything. And in worlds higher than them existentially to infinity, I see everything simultaneously with the same absolute presence; nothing preoccupies me from anything else. Then Sherlock says: Just tell me since you are the absolute... Then Sherlock says to himself [I truly don't know who this is; I am confused in thought and consciousness]. Then Sherlock continues, saying: So why? What is the purpose of all this? Another inspiration comes: The golden mist will show you everything. Hold onto it and don't fall into the void. Suddenly, everything disappears, and Sherlock wakes up in a room with doctors from the Alchemy Path, while Thor is beside him..
