Chapter 20 - Ain't That type of Story

Before long, I spiral into countless spiralling dark lines, using [Mirage] and [Fake Status] I give them a dimensional constitution as similar to my own.

Then using [Stick] I attach a part of my existence in all of them - it's Primordial Aether.

After completely transforming into a lump of Primordial Aether, I finally understand why Aether Points, and my path of growth is limited to only one path.

Even now, my [Tempered Evolution] prevents me from reacting with the surrounding existence.

It is indeed a very good stealth state if I say so myself, if it was back when I was being chased by those Eldritch's, this state alone would be enough to pass through undetected.

But there is also another side to it.

I can't evolve with anything other than the Primordial Aether that I produce. In a way my entire path is limited to Primordial Aether and Aether Points.

Whether it is [Adaptive Tendency] or even [Passive Adaptation] or all the skills and stats I have gained, they primarily work with AP, nothing so far except that crazy girl, has affected or reached my Proof of Existence so far.

The only blessing is that Primordial Aether can literally do anything as long as you have enough understanding and creativity, it basically makes me evolve based on my perspective.

Even [Dimensional Phaser] has become an AP mine, after [Absolute Regeneration] strengthened [Passive Adaptation]'s last effect.

After all this time, I am only beginning to understand my own nature, there is finally some clarity, most of the credit goes to the girl and her power system, the second most being her World.

Chwiii ~

Soon I feel a very familiar sensation, it's faint but I can tell that it's intimately connected to my Origin, or at least this Physique's.

Various 'body parts' begin to form in this Compressed Crystal, the dark lines, somehow form a layered image of my spine from back when I was an Aether-Born.

Little by little, tiny black tendrils form by the integrating of infinitely ascending dark lines as they crystalise into a form, not any less real than the Space they travel through.

[Dimensional Compass: Aether Form]

I had transfixed that as the destination, even if the Human form remains elusive in this Space, maybe Aether Form that primarily remains as a fundamental force could be reached.

And when I do reach it, I can finally use [Dimensional Phaser].

I have noticed this before, even back when using Dimensional Phaser, or when my existence was being devoured by the Red Space or even now.

My nature, or Existence always tries to reach my human form - the Primordial Demon form.

It's as if that form is like an anchor, that makes it possible to even cheat end of existence, by just holding on to it, or is it holding on to me?

Dimensional Phaser is literally a war between the First Evolution and my First Evolved Form, the entire reason I am able to keep my form without collapsing.

It's like heating a Sword, and maintaining its form at just the right temperature, it would make it far more deadlier leaving scars and wounds far more permanent than a simple cut.

It couldn't even be used unless I am in my Primordial Demon form using a Transformation skill along with a System Skill.

It is also the reason why to reach that chaotic state, I have to first replicate that state of an Aether-Born, using Fake Status, and Aether Form, without that, making a dent in my Existence is an impossible task.

But after the whole Merging event, my Existence is again trying to return to the Primordial form, it's just this time it is more stable as if its going through a route it has already passed through.

In theory, I could, with the momentum I have gathered all this time trying to reach my Primordial Physique, easily transform into Dimensional Phaser, I just need to make an Aether Form and Fake Status.

But, this is not like before when I had the support like the Primordial Physique, right now I am literally reforging my Physique, it won't be like a Sword that is being heated, but a melted Sword that is being reformed.

If I use Dimensional Phaser here, then... This might not really change the substance, but the structural integrity will be completely ruined.

I might become a Primordial Demon (Crippled) at this rate! But... If it's just for a moment then, an instant, then maybe the damage won't be too deep.

"The trick is to use the opposite idea as the Path of Solidification - It's not a Prison Break, but reconstruction."

Remembering that crazy suggestion that came out of her mouth like it's wasn't even her business pisses me off.

I clench my newly formed fists that spans countless layered dimensions, only my upper torso remains to be formed.

If it was any other story, then the main lead, would face hardships, have his confidence shattered infront of a problem as immovable as a mountain.

Slowly my hair grows out, piercing through layers in creative diagonal patterns, giving them a curly and fractalized look.

[Dimensional Compass: Golden Ratio]

Just for the heck of it, I make it so that, I get the most lush and universally beautiful hair style, by the time it's done, and finally the Horns.

They would go through an entire arc of new beginning, and make new discoveries and insights, transformimg them into a better version of themsleves.

Before long, only seven portions of my chest are left, in the shape six holes surrounding another gigantic hole, I immediately use the Dimensional Compass again, though it kinda looked unnecessary at this stage, but I did it anyway, the last sprint is more rewarding is how I rationalised it.

[Dimensional Compass: Aether Form: Golden Ratio Hair->Dimensional Form]

Finally get a clue from someone or the result of their efforts would show and make them overcome their challenges.

But this ain't that type of story, like I said I was just unlucky back then! Let me show you!
