NOVPUBWhen Yntra appeared, I was surprised, her presence took over everything around her, but it wasn’t like a Territory where a region is taken over, it took me a while to realize that she "is" this entire region.
When she appeared I instinctively began to consider her as an individual, I considered that she just had control over her surroundings, just like in the mental battle I had with her when I transformed that Planet into the Cursed Sun that is part of my Divine Weapon.
But this is different, that time the battle was a distraction, it was a game of influence where I won, but now it was different, that time we were both Mortals, but now I am someone with multiple Essences and she is someone using the power of Gods without being adequate, the stakes are now different.
So when she showed up with different bodies I realized my mistake, I realized how I was seeing things differently, she is this whole place and my current body isn’t really me, this is just something I assumed without realizing it.
The best analogy comes from my old world, I was considering Yntra and I as characters inside a computer, but now I realize my mistake, the computer in this analogy would be her mind, and by extension, it would be her, I am also not a character, I am virus invading an infinitely larger system.
"(There are no limits...)" (I)
When I moved my hand I just thought that concepts like speed, time, and space are not affected inside someone’s mind where space doesn’t even exist, so my hand moved 3 times in the same period of time creating three hands that grab the heads pulling off with brute force before returning as if traversing space, all of this happened in a millisecond almost instantly.
This place is a mind and not a reality, limiting what I can do because of laws of physics that do not exist here would be foolish, considering this body as such is also foolish, I must expand my imagination and review the aspects of impossibility that cannot lock me up here.
With my new understanding of this place and its boundaries, I was able to cause confusion and perhaps even fleeting fear in Yntra, which helped open a rift in which I used my Essence to propel my mind to corrupt her mind by taking root deeper bottom.
As a proof of this corruption and knowing how much I am capable of affecting this place, I chose a strong image in my mind, a TV series that I really like in my old world, the strongest symbol in that TV series was a blue cabin that It was marked in my mind and was brought into existence in this spacecraft control room.
"Yntra, you don’t know how happy I am for your incompetence." (I)
"You think you can go against me here? Your arrogance and childish attempts to scare me are laughable." (Yntra)
"(Do you think you are the only one capable of interfering with a mind? Do you know how many minds have been manipulated by me? How many minds have I devoured? How many minds have I created!?)" (Yntra)
I already knew that this could happen, this magic is a two-bladed sword, this path that I opened served for me to invade and also serves the opposite, our minds directly connected.
"You’re going to need more than that." (I)
I snap my fingers and rifts appear outside in space, billions of creatures appearing in an endless stream, every monitor on the ship flashing red with a message of danger emerging.
To be honest I don’t know what was done, I just felt something being suppressed, something associated with this place, then when I activated it all happened and I started to realize what was happening.
I was in a memory, something big that happened and marked her in a negative way, what I did awakened this trauma by activating the rest of her memories about this moment that must have happened in her Universe before it was Destroyed.
That must be why she didn’t show anger or fear, what I saw in her eyes was grief before fury filled the surroundings with fire as her eyes turned to me.
"You think you’re the only one who can play with my mind!?" (Yntra)
Suddenly everything was taken over by a light that disappeared as quickly as it appeared, and then I saw the place where I was, if I hadn’t had control of my emotions I might have gone crazy with rage.
I tried to move, but my body felt heavy, I couldn’t move my legs and I felt immense weakness.
When I opened my eyes, what I saw was a ceiling that I will never be able to forget, then came that smell of medicine and alcohol, when I lifted my body to a sitting position with immense difficulty, I saw the white room with devices next to my bed and a window that I couldn’t see much of, on the table next to the bed the notebook that I always used for my work creating games.
"You think you can affect me with this, maybe you could in the past, but you lost your opportunity a long time ago." (I)
"Sir, you’re finally awake..." (nurse)
"Stop it, don’t play with the image of someone who cared for me in my final moments." (I)
I knew she was doing this to bring up any emotion to destabilize my mind, so I tried to appear to play along with her as I tried to go deeper into her mind and it hurt as an idea occurred to me.
I moved my almost completely crippled body and stood, I knew this weakness didn’t exist, it was messing with my emotions and my mind or at least trying to.
With a movement of my hand the nurse disappeared like smoke, what remained was an image of me at my worst, in the moment just before I died.
"An orphan rejected because of a defective body, really disappointing." (Yntra)
"Her words mean little to me, resorting to this shows more of her desperation." (I)
"Zenos, do you understand how people’s bodies can be the biggest limiter, how many geniuses died at the height of their academic lives in your world? How many saw the results of their work and recognition for everything they did?" (Yntra)
"The body may be a marvel of evolution, but it is still flawed, and that’s because it is still evolving, this will last billions of years, and perhaps evolution will continue eternally, but until then it would just be a constant persecution of irreplaceable people." (Yntra)
"Your speeches have little effect on me." (I)
It may sound hypocritical considering that I am immortal, but life has meaning because it is finite, because we think our life is short we feel the need to make the most of this little time by having fun or seeking to live through a legacy for the family or the world.
If you compare with Vampires who are a stagnant race, it is evident that a long lifespan makes people slow in many aspects, always seeing the scope in a great distance while forgetting the little things accumulating little by little.
Suddenly I smile and thousands of waves appear colliding against Yntra, while she spoke I had time to research how to do some things, I could feel strange things inside Yntra’s mind and that’s why I wanted to know what they were.
The world shattered once again, the millions of energy waves were actually like a windstorm with physical force and they were all attacking only Yntra.
This time I awakened those sleeping within Yntra, millions or perhaps billions of minds suffering in agony, I could not control them, none of them were sane minds as they gave themselves over to madness, but perhaps thanks to this I was able to direct them all to a common target, Yntra.
Their minds acting individually in these attacks that were creating this effect, I took advantage of this using my Essence together with my Sacred Power, I used this to corrupt these many wild minds one by one consecutively until it was over.
"Stop messing with my mind!?" (Yntra)
A huge explosion occurs throughout the mind, I can feel the Holy power behind this explosion, each of the minds I was using were sealed and all the places where I was corrupting in her mind were sealed as if she was putting those places in quarantine separating parts of yourself 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
When the wave of energy passed I was on a beach, but it didn’t seem like a good time, there were ships lying in the ocean and there were many explosions in the sky as if an intense battle was taking place.
"Enough of these little tricks!" (Yntra)
Soon I could feel the Holy Power coming from everywhere and passing through the image of Yntra in front of me, she could not store this power, so she circulated this Holy Power by herself.
I wouldn’t stand by and watch my enemies try to obtain a new power, that’s why I attack her, but not with these things, what I did was call my Divine Weapon, the power of these Divine Weapons travels through my body until it reaches my mind.
I was already moving forward when a sword made of silver fragments and a dagger made of purple scales with the blade burning with purple fire appear in my hands from my body.
In this place, I can change everything as I want and that’s why I transformed these Divine Weapons into the best weapons for me, something I’m used to using.
