Marvin Rylan, his brow furrowed in concentration, leaned forward, the worn wooden table creaking slightly under his weight. Opposite him sat Eldrin, an old man whose eyes held the glint of centuries of untold stories. Axel, Elianore, Kaito, and Lilia, a diverse team bound by a shared quest, sat around them, their expressions a mixture of rapt attention and dawning disbelief.
"Hyperversal," Eldrin began, his voice a low rumble, "is considered weak. Below Outerversal, naturally. Outerversal itself… powerful, yes, but a mere flicker compared to Boundless. Few within our Xylos Omniverse have ever touched that level." He paused, letting the weight of his words settle. The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows on their faces, highlighting the intensity of their focus.
Marvin, a pragmatic strategist, voiced the question burning in everyone's mind. "And what defines 'Boundless,' Eldrin? What kind of power transcends the measurable?"
Eldrin chuckled, a dry, rasping sound. "Transcends is a weak word, Marvin. It destroys the concept of measurement. It's power that operates outside the confines of any perceivable reality, any definable system. It's… well, imagine a universe, nay, an omniverse, being merely a single grain of sand on a beach. Boundless power is the entirety of the ocean itself, the planet, the stars; it's beyond comprehension."
"But there's more," Eldrin continued, his gaze distant, as if peering into the very fabric of existence. "Above Boundless lies the True Boundless tier. This... this is power that rivals the very fabric of existence itself. It shapes reality, it bends probability, it is, to all intents and purposes, the closest thing imaginable to a god. We cannot measure them. We can only… acknowledge them."
He paused, a profound silence descending upon the group, broken only by the gentle crackle of the fire.
"In all the millennia I've witnessed," Eldrin finally whispered, "only two beings have ever been definitively placed within this… True Boundless tier. The Dragon God, whose very existence chills the hearts of even other True Boundless entities. Legend speaks of a power so vast, it can obliterate entire omniverses with a single thought."
elianore, a young but exceptionally gifted mage, leaned forward, her eyes wide. "And the other?"
"The Phoenix God," Eldrin replied, his voice barely audible. "Said to be equal in power to the Dragon God, though we haven't witnessed them clash. Their existence remains shrouded in mystery, their power a constant, unknowable enigma."
A wave of silence washed over the group. The implications of such power were staggering. Marvin, ever the strategist, shifted his focus. "If these entities are so powerful, Eldrin, what kind of abilities would allow them to rival the fabric of existence itself? What are we even talking about?"
Axel, a seasoned warrior whose strength was matched only by his intellect, spoke up. "Perhaps it's not about specific abilities, but about transcending all limitations. The ability to rewrite reality, to manipulate the fundamental laws of physics. To exist outside of time and space as we understand it."
Elianore, a scholar renowned for her vast knowledge of arcane lore, added, "Some ancient texts suggest that True Boundless entities possess the power of creation and destruction on a scale that dwarfs even the Big Bang. They are the architects of omniverses, the weavers of reality itself."
Marvin, a mystical healer with an uncanny connection to the life force of the Xylon Omniverse, offered a different perspective. "Perhaps True Boundless power isn't about brute force, but about absolute control over the very essence of existence. The capacity to manipulate the flow of energy, the very building blocks of creation."
The ensuing discussion lasted well into the night. They debated the implications of True Boundless power, its potential applications, and its terrifying destructive capabilities. The vastness of the Xylos Omniverse, previously a concept they grappled with intellectually, now felt visceral, almost tangible. They were but insignificant specks in an ocean of unimaginable power, dwarfed by entities whose existence defied comprehension.
As dawn approached, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the team sat in contemplative silence, the weight of Eldrin's revelations settling upon them. They had glimpsed the pinnacle of power, a realm beyond human understanding, and the journey ahead seemed both daunting and exhilarating. The quest that had brought them together now held a new, profound significance, a quest that stretched far beyond their initial goals
