..And while Letha and Sho walk, Letha notices Sho's excessive thinking and his gaze at his black hand with white fingertips, so she speaks and says:
"Huh? What is occupying you?"
. Sho lowers his hand and looks toward the sun above, then says:
"Nothing, I am just trying to understand what that strange power is"
"[The last thing I remember was when True Death struck me with that black energy, after that I lost consciousness. Could it be that those powers are from my father? I think not, that power is strange, it is a fusion of many things, and also the golden mist disappeared after the Fool died. He abandoned me, I who am me abandoned me, and I abandon him, I do not want him]"
At that moment Sho speaks and looks toward Letha and says:
"Well then, what do you think about hurrying a little toward the phantom city?"
Letha laughs mockingly and says:
"Do you think going anywhere in the primordial chaos that governs all worlds has anything to do with speed? Of course not, you must rely on perception, every step brings you closer, while if you use your speed you will find yourself stuck in a loop as if you are not moving at all, even the world here is not as you think, Sho"
Sho sighs and then says:
"Well, what do you think about using any other means, for example teleportation?"
Letha smiles with a smile that suggests mockery again, and Sho notices that and laughs, saying:
"Do not mock me, here I am, I know nothing and I am relying on you"
Letha approaches Sho, who has begun to feel safe with her the closer she comes to him, and places her finger on his mouth and says in a low voice:
"You do whatever you want, no one can object to you, my lord and my husband, O great god of darkness. I was only joking with you, do not be talkative"
Sho smiles slightly and then says:
"I understand those methods, you are trying to seduce me, right, haha?"
Letha's mood changes and turns sour, and she says:
"And why would I do that? Am I not always attractive to you? Do you see me trying?"
Sho laughs and takes her in his arms and strokes her head.
And after a great, great amount of illusory time, which is a logical and relative attempt that differs from one entity to another and depends on trying to place a specific time that makes it continue forever in order to estimate the illusory distance it also crosses, Sho and Letha reach the phantom city. Sho is surprised by its extremely small size, then Letha smiles slyly and says:
"Do not judge the book by its cover, just try taking one more step forward. That will be the best journey with you, my husband"
Sho takes one more step forward and suddenly day becomes night without a moon, while the surrounding place suddenly changes so that Sho sees himself and Letha at one side of one of the streets, while many entities resembling humans who have not yet activated their powers crowd around them. Sho laughs a laugh that comes out of his metaspiritual mind trying to adapt to the shock resulting from the situation that seems illogical by laughing.!
Sho looks toward Letha and then says:
"I do not know what I should actually say, but this is extremely strange, strange to the point of suspicion"
Letha replies and says:
"Indeed, this is strange for the first time, but you will get used to it, and now let us have a little fun and take a walk"
Sho and Letha wait for the signal to turn red so they can cross! While Sho whispers in Letha's ear and says:
"Will we be noticeable? I mean our aura and so on?"
Then she replies to him and says:
"No, no, do not worry, those entities have not activated their powers yet. To them we are just ordinary entities; they will not be able to sense our aura because it exceeds their perception, so do not worry. We are like tourists in this place, and strange and mysterious entities are common to see here"
The signal changes from green to red so everyone starts crossing, while Sho looks toward the dark sky, a sky without stars, without sound, without anything, as if a world is swimming in pure nothingness without purpose, without goal, without meaning, without a true god, a mixture of horror and contradictory freedom. Sho speaks to himself and says:
"[These worlds are like dreams when a person is conscious within them, but in a more absurd way, not in the environment that is considered fixed, but in perception. These worlds are as if the entity is dreaming, I am already conscious, but everything around me is strange, as if I am inside a dream while conscious]"
Letha smells a very beautiful food aroma from one of the shops and tells Sho of her desire to go there, so Sho agrees and goes there, where Sho and Letha stand in front of a shop in which many people work. Then Sho looks toward the person and says:
"What is here? I mean where is the food and what currency is used here?"
The person looks toward Sho, then smiles slightly and says:
"Welcome, sir, you seem to be from outside this place. I have never seen an entity like you before. As for the food, we have meats for many entities, and they cost existential points"
Sho is surprised and looks toward Letha and whispers, saying:
"What is this again?"
Letha replies and says:
"Existential points are the points of your own world. Do not worry, I already have endless existential points as a result of my creation of the worlds within me, and every glorification and praise by entities that know that I am the one who created them earns me a point"
Letha and Sho buy some meat in skewers, then continue walking and sit on a chair in front of a sea that surpasses infinity itself, a mysterious unknown black sea. Then Sho speaks and says:
"I want to tell you something that makes me sad"
Letha places her left hand on Sho's shoulder and appears worried and sad, then says:
"What is wrong with you? Tell me what is making you sad?"
Sho sighs while looking at the sea and eats only the meat to get some enjoyment and not because of the need for food. All entities in the world of gods, the metaspiritual entities, do not need sleep, rest, or food; all entities are self-sufficient in absolute sufficiency, while food is merely a means for fun. Then he speaks and says:
"I feel that I am confused, I do not really know what I want, my goal is no longer clear. I am extremely confused, Letha. I no longer really know what I actually want. I am trying to put a phantom goal in front of me, which is to kill the eight gods, but what after that? This is not really my main goal, and at the same time, honestly, I am thinking about staying here and leaving everything"
Letha thinks for a moment and then says:
"This is life in the end, despite all this nothingness and meaninglessness, you are the highest goal for me. You are everything I have. You are for me the one who fills the void, Sho. Do not feel that you are confused. Walk in a straight line toward the goal no matter what it is. I will always be with you. I am your companion on the road, your companion for your eternal life. You and I and the world, Sho"
Sho is deeply affected and takes her tightly in his arms, as he sees her in his eyes; although she is a shadow of Feyri whom he loved in the material world, she is still in the end a part of Feyri to him. Then Sho eats the meat with her lovingly while her white hair shines in the darkness, and Sho looks toward the sea, still feeling fear, yet he resists. What makes him resist in this world is only Letha.
The two laugh together, then Sho's face comes extremely close to Letha's face, about to kiss her, as their lips meet, and suddenly Sho and Letha feel a strong and frightening aura, and without any introduction Sho sees a weapon that resembles chains, with a sharp sword at its end, rushing toward him with force. Sho turns into a shadow and an illusory mirage, while we look at Letha toward them. At that moment Sho retreats and stands on the sand beside the sea, while Letha is beside him.
Two stand with an extremely strong aura, the subordinates sent by Gorgon Hansen and Asteria.
Asteria laughs while Sho looks with extremely sharp eyes and the letter X shining in white intersecting with the color of his eyes, making them appear as if they were hawk eyes. Then Asteria speaks and says:
"So you are the one who ignored Lord Gorgon's order. It will end very quickly, do not worry"
Asteria rushes at high speed toward Sho, who stands completely still and does not try to block the strike, and Asteria, who is a supreme ruler from the eighth tier, strikes Sho with the conceptual sword of supreme hardness, supreme transcendent power, and the concept of cutting, and at that moment Asteria stands shocked as the sword breaks, completely without the slightest harm to Sho, so Asteria says to herself:
"[His existence surpasses all those concepts!]"
Suddenly Lady God of Darkness sees him in front of her and quickly strikes him with her conceptual fist containing the authority of transcendent laws, which can slightly affect the laws of the world of gods that become more and more complex each moment, and suddenly her arm is devoured by the strike she delivered into his abdomen. The God of Darkness smiles while she is shocked and does not understand what happened, then the God of Darkness raises his hand and directs a punch with his black hand whose fingertips resemble white fire. Asteria cannot move at all, as if merely the God of Darkness raising his hand alone makes the entity receiving the blow feel supra-conceptual fear.
And suddenly the girl explodes as if she were shards and is erased from existence, while Hansen is unconcerned and looks in silence, while Letha watches him and says to herself:
"[That tremendous aura I felt earlier was only his aura; he was watching in silence without intervening]"
Hansen laughs lightly and then says:
"Not bad at all. That bitch was just a supreme ruler, while I am completely different"
A tremendous aura appears before Sho, who stands trying to endure, and suddenly Letha moves in front of him with her speed and looks toward Sho and says:
"This is different, leave it to me, I will show you what your wife can do"
"[He is at least a supreme ruler of the same tier as me]"
Sho steps back a little and watches with intense and absolute precision, waiting for any moment of weakness from Letha so he can intervene and save her with any way.
