I look at the screen that has again transformed into a 2D screen like before.
Yeah, the design could be better but that's how a Status Screen should look like.

"""Hhha!- huff¡!'|•`""
This is so weird. I can't even make out what's going on with me. My senses instead of being heightened into Dimensional Sense like usual feels like they have been fried from overuse.
Visions depicting many other forms beside Primordial Demon are loading into me, one feels like a giant energy ball, with only one glowling light at the center, before it takes another form no it is replaced.
A shapeless form, reminiscent of those Eldritch's, bit this one feels more wrong, just trying to understand this form makes me shudder in madness.
I cannot understand my own self nor make out my shape, colour depth, senses, or origin, but even then it's me that's trying to understand this, me-
This paradox almost at the verge of breaking something in me is replaced by another form.
This one looks the most humanoid so far, with three pairs of 'wings' that look more like spider like appendages. A small head as if carved from a burnt rock, is where I reside in this vision.
At the center, there is a swirling mass of Red light, it's so faint that only I could feel it's violent pulse sealed within me.
As I try to look more closely, the Red light pierces through my skull. My entire vision transforms into hell fire, something very fundamental inside me is being burnt, no incinerating, even the ashes formed are pulled back as if there is nothing it cannot take in and burn brighter.
Flip Flip Flip...
Strings of dark energy threads come out of my outer body surface and patch the part where the Red light is leaking out.
But the me who has came in contact with it, still continues to burn, even those strings cannot remain and burn as they enter the domain of Red light.
Even after that the strings keep filling me, until even my head and vision are completey covered.
In the darkness, I forget the --- that had been tormenting me.
Gradually, I settle down.
I remain there for an indefinite amount of time, I can't tell what exactly is happening at first, but soon sensation returns, and I can finally feel that my body is being renourished.
More and more of my self forms back until I can finally perceive the flow of time.
It's been a few hours, at least in this Space.
[Host, your condition has been stabilized. You have one unread message]
Something happened while I was in the Dimensional Phaser, it should've taken a moment to cut a way through, but it took way longer, destabilizing my entire existence.
Later, first let's clear everything with her.
[From Nameless Probability:
"Hello~ You awake?"
"Anyway, if you are awake now, why in the name of Suol, did you try to do something like that? One fuckup was not enough? You could've just waited till I completed my prep."
This useless...
["There was so much to unpack there! That World is hiding a whole lot of things, we could've profitted big!" ]
[To Nameless Probability:
Listen here you useless clump of trash ideas, there isn't a single path you mentioned that I even considered taking in the first place!
'Wait for the right time'
If I had, then it would only help that weird World somehow, if even my Dimensional Phaser faced such resistance, what's the possibility that your way would not? ]
["My way was full proof! It would take time, but that's just from your point of view, not much time would pass in the outside world, just be patient and eventually, I could have made a loop hole in the Crystal.
After that, you could easily go in and out of it, without alerting it. It wouldn't dare check inside for a couple eras, we could then have a base here, grow our strength and even sabotage this World eventually!" ]
[You sure have totally realistic and looong scalable dreams, don't you?
But I am the one who has to go through the an eternity worth of field operations, with my growth capped at the first dimension! If it weren't for my Absolute Regeneration, I would eventually be snuffed out.]
["It's the price of cheat level treasure! I have to get my hands on them, this World's growth is pretty much redundant, compared to before the War, it's progress has significantly slowed down." ]
I don't need your treasure! Yes it is Ultra Rare, but it's still useless to me, only a Genesis rarity can assimilate with me. All my powers are internally sourced.
[Whatever, we don't have a deal, you did not do shit in my escape. So let's part ways here.]
["Wait I can't really travel like this, I need atleast a minimum foundation Path before I can travel through Worlds, no longer an Avatar after all." ]
[So, it was all for your sake anyways. Until you developed enough to travel independently right? Sorry, but you are seriously more like a parasite compared to before. I see no benefit from you.]
["T-Then take it as an investment! You should know the potential of my new Existence, I could even help you, gather information millions of times faster in any situation, isn't that how your power work, you need information and something else to get stronger right?" ]
Seriously, her personality is changing way too fast, is it all an act? or something deeper connected to her new Existence.
But her Existence is indeed very unique, almost at a similar level to my own. That's saying a lot.
[Certainly.·., you will become a very broken existence if you are allowed to develop, but I have no method to end you or threaten you except for this moment.
You could escape anywhere if you find another World, and remain undetected, and if you become able to travel through them, who could stop you?
You could harrass, plan, and eliminate anyone with enough prep.
Instead leaving you here, with a high possibility of no-one finding this place again, looks more and more a better option ]
First, is there anyway that I could have an advantage against her?
["That is slander! I would never do something like backstabbing my travel buddy who carried me on his shoulders as a child! Only those who are a threat, aside from yours truly, will be met with my dark side! Believe me!" ]
She is practically invulnerable to me right now, I don't know if that would change going forward.
My realm is not that much stronger than her's, and she was probably at a higher realm than me when we first met, so in terms of available information and information gathering in the future, she has me beat.
[Then prove it to me, how can you be useful, and guarantee a minimum level of trust between us? You must have thought about it right? No need to hold back, go ahead.]
But she can't harm me either, at least I believe so.
["There is one way. I don't know if you would like it though." ]
You are practically selling it at this point. Fine show me the deal you have been keeping all this time.
[Try me ]
["I don't know if you already know my essence, but I'll tell you how to keep me in check. You just have to-" ]
Hmm...that does make it more clear, I didn't think of it this way, system with your help, it's possible right?
[It is possible Host. Though it is advised to be careful, Nameless Probability's potential is still not defined, 'she' is in the process of an Evolution right now. Your decisions matter as much as 'her's going forward.]
That it does, it's basically like a game of Don't Blink. I have to really focus here.
Make the Central Multi-Processor focus on this task primarily.
[Understood Host.]
[I accept. First tell me, whatever you know about your world's Power-System, and of the Worlds beyond that you know of.]
Squirm
["Oh! it feels like you are coming out from somewhere, well just don't jump out from behind me. Okay so first of all I assume you know the basi-" ]
[Yes, start from there.]
Squirm(3x)
From now on.
["Wait... You don't know them? Man, where are you from? Some Secluded Domain from a Lost Era? This is gonna take long then" ]
[Just start then, just an overview will do for now, like some fairy tale about the Creation Era, or Evolution Era, and trivias will also do.]
I will have to handle my evolution and growth personally.
Squirm— Plat!
Whether because of being a 'new born', going through a phase similar to my first time arriving in this works, or just being completely unaware of her position, I land behind her.
"Arghhh!!!"
[Resurrection Complete: New Ability - Resurrection!]
"Then we jump straight into the Power-System and Paths... teach me everything you know."
"I told you not to jump from behind! And also put some clothes on, the Goddess of Clothes and Dignity will befall disaster on you if you stay like that for too long for no reason..."
"..."
As I listen to her explaining the very first lore I have proporly heard since arriving here, I can't help but think, it's an entire new world out here, though maybe not too strange, just a tad too many transcendental beings.
It seems I need to be very careful, in each of my actions, even being naked for no reason is punishable under the Divine Commandments.
