Tobi was walking in a wide road made of dark matters between territories, not the main but still there are cosmic motherships, alien lifeforms, cultivators in group riding some beings tier 13 above and so on passing by. They all can't detect this ordinary man walking with a child resting in his chest.
Skadi wakes up, rubbing her dazzling sleepy eyes.
Tobi pat her head: Where almost there yet he extends this hand to the empty space in his right then someone slowly materializes. A woman in a suit, her long hair was tied using a necktie sways in every time she walks humming a song while cleaning a gun that she put to Tobi's hand. Skadi buried her face to her dads face, she knows who this one was.
Alicia and Lim rushed then tackle the green haired BASS the moment they saw him dragging it to a domain.
Tobi: Little sis this is a nice gun, he inspected the gun like a professional. A gun based on a Russian RSh-12 yet the size is bigger than the usual one.
Noel: I called it Chaos buster, she looked at her brother's face knitting his eyebrows then to Skadi. Is she scared of me?
Tobi: What a naming sense yet I also have that problem sometimes. My children except Liliana, Nameless and Gladiia seem not yet the others, especially those still in their eggs. I can say they know how crazy sometimes my sisters are, especially you who have a nasty habit of killing entities. You know they inherit my memories through my soul and blood essence so they properly see everything you and Alice can do.
Tobi: Looks like you did hit someone a while ago? Seeing Noel extending her hands to grab Skadi in his chest, Tobi shakes his head just letting her do it. Who did you hit this time?
Skadi felt defeated, she looked at her aunt then she looked at her dad. Eyes pleading for him to get her yet her dad only smiles at her.
Noel: A cold warm queen of the north. Oh what a cute chubby niece yet powerful looks like the nightmare is already in you.
Tobi: Surely you didn't hit her hard.
Noel: Nah, we did a normal sparring so I think she's fine and maybe she is waking up now. Seeing her brother just nodded as she hugged and carried Skadi caressing her back.
Tobi gave the baby carrier to Noel who is in her suit. You know you're quite professional in equipping it.
Noel: Well I did this thing too, raising my little kins.
Seeing her putting Skadi facing him on the carrier Tobi returned the gun to her as she just waved her hand and it vanished in the air.
Do you want me to make a spaceship or a mechanical being for fast travel? We can just teleport to a family member as our point of travel too like I did just now.
Tobi: Nah we walk. He said that with a serious face but Noel knows it was just a fake display of emotion.
Noel: Tsk same as always.
The three BASS appeared. Hazama fixed her jaw, suit in ruin and hat burned. Alicia and Lim looked normal like nothing happened, just flew to Tobi's right shoulder. Hazama also flickered, appearing to Noel's head. The group continue their travels without anyone noticing their existence.
Noel coaxes Skadi upon Tobi telling her that Skadi wanted to be a space pirate. Want me to build a super spaceship or an old pirate ship in the waters but have modern interior and weapons, well just tell me the details but of course I'll do it with my own hands rather than making it with creation rules, laws, etc. Skadi's eyes twinkle as she hymns while listening to her, Tobi gives a thumbs up to Noel smiles putting her hands on her back to lead the group.
...…
Upper origin realm, in the domain expansion where Noel exited. Bethlehem awoke in a pit. Her combat outfit almost turned to a rag because of the damage it received and bruises in some part of her body. She was planted in her own domain that was hijacked by Noel that turned to a mechanical domain, destroyed buildings that should been a part of a huge city that part of the metallic land and the debris that have unknown runic text scattered all around, its sky was virtually projected but there is a manmade sun radiating reddish radiation.
Ignoring the hotness she coughed as her mouth threw something in her right hand that was covered in blood, bullets. Ah, looks like normal bullets not that one I feared, well I never heard of a bystander killing a friend or a colleague. She looked at her side as multi white fairies appeared.
You guys should block her interference in stealing the domain, looking at herself in third person so the last attack she delivered was a palm strike. I'm a bug to you my friend? Shaking her head remembering their clashes in a speed exceeding a normal hyperdrive that can drag and shatter worlds, Noel's laughter was like a paste in her mind, the kicks and punches she threw were too heavy even though she was in an unknown tier. She never saw her pull a gun in their fight.
She shrugged trying to stand yet stumble as she sat normally to grasp a breathing then look at the snow fairies again. I made you guys as my support systems, can you at least help here.
The head of the fairies shaken then they all flew to support her to stand then ask her.
That green haired guy was watching us so we couldn't do a thing, we felt like a butterfly trap in a spider web so that was BASS?
Bethlehem: Yup that was a BASS, a system like you guys that have a body yet those guys were created based on the realm consciousness and I don't even know how those three leading bystanders created them. Well I guessed that Alice did use her maximum output of creation rules and laws to bend or to exceed what the realms can do in creating a life but creating systems like those should have a toll yet they had bypassed it. She didn't know that Noel was the one coded the BASS while Tobi as a blacksmith assisted Alice in creating them.
The leading bystanders have no potential, not a genius entity, have no talent for anything. They learn and work it on time as a hobby that even exceed the so called simulation that entities do in their life, if they got bored in one hobby they just throw it to get a new but that also made us entities bewildered when they throw to forget it they become strong like they were enlightened. The way I see it sometimes those they throw are still there and become part of their daily life without them noticing it. The fairy patches her but some internal dmg still have Noel's aura Nen-Qi so it takes time to be removed then healed, she moves as she walks the domain crumble. She appeared in the same place as she was and saw some old acquaintance trying to ease her ashen barbarians bodyguards, especially one of the male was bigger than any of them and a new ashen barbarian was also receiving explanation from her bodyguards.
"Author's Note: Some characters will appear in this chapter is from a old gacha game called Alchemy Stars"
She called the two first: Gram and Ketal, no need for that it was Noel who appeared here as she sat on the chair fixed by the snow fairies supporting her.
One of the group that looked like a young girl moved to kneel in front of her, your majesty I and the others rushed here the moment we received an emergency signal from the two. I am also sorry for arriving late even though my post is quite near here.
Beth: It's fine Dayna even your here nor the others we can't fight a bystander. She coughed then she took a breath, a few ribs broken at least she held back not to kill me.
Gram: Looks like you were thrashed by Noel quite hard, surely she didn't try the thing she did to me to you?
Ketal: You mean the stampede of mechanical entities and puppets in tier 15.
Gram: Wait, have you experienced that too?
Ketal: Bots that destroy, assemble or merge with others to improve in total horse power and defense. I got beaten to the pulp not even a day of fighting those even though my defense and durability was quite top notch as an entity, I thought it was one on one the moment she appeared then dragged me in a domain expansion.
Beth: ? I'm an unknown tier so she did not summon or create those? Looking at the two who suddenly pause then laugh at her at the same time they said to her, so the one who wants to test if she can harm a bystander upon reaching an unknown tier was the one being tested. She only gave them a wry smile.
One of the group, a mature older sister type with long blond hair wearing a reddish dress outfit walks to Beth and asks her to sit cross legs on the floor. The women pull the chair to sit facing Beth's back as she placed her two palm to help Bethlehem to remove Noels Aura Nen-Qi
Beth: You know Victoria even you it will still take time.
Victoria: Just relax. I'm using one of my blood based skills to receive support from my kin and I'm not trying to dissolve it, gonna move it to a drop of your blood then isolate it before ejecting it out of your body.
Bethlehem didn't block Victoria's power as she felt the warmth in every damaged internals she had yet she heard Victoria's heavy breathing in the process while supporting it with her own for efficiency.
A few more minutes another white haired lady walks in the 2nd floor arriving at their location.
The one notice this individual was a lady with long brownish hair, a quite knight lady.
Miss Carleen, what's the matter?
Carleen: I heard someone attack Bethlehem so I rush here yet she looks at Bethlehem sitting cross legs on the floor concentrating helping in circulating Victoria's power inside of her before she said something two entities also arrived. It was Leyn carrying Tina who was sleeping like a bag of rice on his shoulder.
Gram: The judges are here for what?
Ketal moved a chair for Carleen to sit, the room they stayed in had quite an intense vibe. The two ashen bodyguards were stationed outside of it standing like statues.
Irridon was sipping her tea called Gram: I've also been judged back then and higher than the two of them, she knows how hard a judge works in the upper origin realm. Her long orange yellow hair crackled as electric coated her body improving her physical and other power she governed as she wanted to hit this muscle head.
Leyn: Lady Irridon no need for that and it's been a while since everyone gathered. He walks in and materializes a couch to lie Tina and a chair for himself to sit on.
Ketal, not everyone here, we bunch here were the entities who have nothing to do as he laughed and called the other lady with long greenish hair, a tall cool chick drinking wine. Right Migard, I heard some beautiful ladies from a certain clan fall again to your charm.
Migard: Oh my so you heard that, it was just an accident of a little chit chat you know.
Irridon: She never changed, the one in the accident was part of a huge Murim clan, now Mu Yuebai and her Co. was the one fixing this problem.
Gram: Yuebai can handle it, if the head of that clan doesn't compromise with her, her fleet will mess up their trading route to other clans territories. Even spirits from the real spirit realm, underworld entities and other races never mess up with her, the SODM was like her territory in the upper realm yet in the middle to lower realm it will be hard for her because of the devourers.
Before Ketal said something Carleen received a notification and upon checking it she called everyone then with a click to her communicator a screen projection appeared showing a huge old mechanical entity rampaging in one of the new build territories in the evil align side that consist of 3 early tier 16 the unknown.
They all knew that only a few were able to reach it as for them they were still holding back.
Ketal: That mech I've seen it before and looking at it now, its rampage is not a plot but it's on his last leg. When I asked Noel to make me a mech suit she led me into her workshop. Robot toys, mechanoids and huge mechs move all around yet she said they were her creation just ignore them and when I ask those in display protected with glass where so old she said it was her 1st creations, they don't want me to repair them, every damage on them where their trophy in winning a battle and when the time comes each of them will fly freely without my command.
Gram: She gave me a mech too that can turn to any type of vehicle, oh the one we did use a while ago. He looks at the mech big enough to cover half of the territory that was being destroyed by it, cosmos, suns and moons, planets and its inhabitants being demolished because of its aura wings vibrations turning to a natural void storm calamity, mechanical hands deployed some are equipped with treasure weapons and fighter jets to hunt entities. World destroyer cannons were shot consecutively all over around in every step it takes, Tier 13 - 14 beings evaporated on hit as for tier 15 they tried to retaliate yet only the external of the mech received damages. The three unknown are in bad shape too even though they can damage it severely its instant repair is coping up.
Irridon: This mech is on 15.5 tier not only that it was using everything its core can do, a mutual destruction it wanted like a blood boiling technique or any sacrificial method? wait those it destroyed it recycling them as its own energy.
Its huge hand radiating with unknown power tried to grab those three unknown yet it was big and slow, they dodge but those who cannot like those planets etc. disintegrated.
Its multi aura wings melted those corpses and planet debris to recycle it. Soon one of the unknown aims to its legs of course the mech unleash shoots from the cannons equipped in those parts of its body. Those mech hands and jets rush to defend it, the other two unknowns gather those who still can fight, rallying it a new army for a fight to the death.
Leyn: The mech has unknown carvings and texts all over its body, sequence boosting its defenses and offenses yet this will burn its life soon.
Migard: It ignores races or hits womens, childrens and newborns. It knows those who are born on those worlds with evil alignment will never change; they will stay in their roots forever.
Ketal: A genocide without a command with their last life on the line so that what you mean Noel as he laugh that shakes the whole room.
Tina as she sat and rubbing her eyes: There was something wrong in that mech, all of them paused as they continued to watch the fight on the projection screen.
Soon what Tina was scared of really happened. The three unknown tiers stood tattered and battered in front of the destroyed mech that only left was its upper body even the head was not present, the army that followed them only a dozen left. The core that should not light left alone suddenly palpates like the sound of a heart yet the moment the three make a move the destroyed upper body of the mech melted and turned to liquid then gathered creating a sphere. Within a minute a mechanical entity appeared, it was like a SD gundam yet it was crumbling. Its essence in existent fading well the mech eyes blink at its move exceeding the speed of the three unknown tier, the three and the dozen entities left didn't know what hit them until they all dissolved like they never existed in the first place. The mech's whole body started to crackle, crumbling parts turned to dust, dissolve to the SODM but still looks up in a certain direction, those who watched some of them shaken like it know they all watching in a single broadcast from a certain entity perspective yet the mech didn't do anything to that entity, it pulled out its laser sword.
I cannot even hold its laser sword properly, a small swing vertically. There is no such thing as a crazy display of power charge to release an ultimate move or so on, just like that everything in front of it turned darker than black and the mech that should be standing floating in void was now dissolved of its existence.
The territory that should been isolated by the mech with a Kekkai "Barrier" was broken by its last movement, those in its way killed and those who were standby nor those who wants to breakthrough to save what can be save or scavenge froze in fear because that last attack didn't end to that place. Its cleave territories, cosmoses and so on where it directed its sword attack vanished but didn't reach the main peak territories of the evil aligned beings.
Leyn: It's crazy this is why I never have any plan to fight a bystander because they hide a lot of things.
Tina: I will be the first one to betray the realms if a war starts, she was proud in declaring that.
Someone suddenly sat next to her and a hand grabbed her they its voice was so sharp.
Victoria: If that happens I will be the one to kill you before you do that and throw your body to an alien planet for them to feast on.
Tina: Just joking but I can surrender right right, I know you too don't want to fight them.
Irridon looked at Bethlehem and said, you look brand new.
Beth: It's not bad, oh so what will we do to this drop of blood?
Victoria removed her hands to Tina's head then waved it, the drop of blood flew in mid air then unknown runic ancient text surrounds and sealed the blood.
Victoria: It can be a weapon as she laughed.
Gram picks up his communication that suddenly vibrates in the table as he scans, then taps it in front of him a new screen that everyone can see appears. The caller was Sharona buried in documents and busy reading, stamping to approve it.
Sharona: She had visited me a while ago and said to me to call anyone of you because she knows everyone will gather, the content was. It was a fun sparring session.
Bethlehem: ? What fun being overpowered in clashes like your a ball being hit around the place, punched in a single spot multiple times, attacks that cannot be blocked even if it's too slow. It's bullying and it's not fun for me.
Sharona: But you landed some hits she said…..
Bethlehem: She called some scratches are hits, is she insane? As she swallows hard her saliva yet she continues so watch the catch, you called not to add more salt in my wound right?
Sharona: Nothing much Noel said that they don't plan to return here in the realms they have built a proper home outside better than they have stayed here and as for such a war you guys think that only happens if one of my bro's children got hurt as she smiles then continue different topics.
The group started their meeting with different agenda, some related to her as a pandora dragon that will never take side with the true dragon races anymore, they all took notes and shared via their communication to the others who were not present in that room.
...…
Noel pauses as she looks in a certain direction, in her chest Skadi had taken a nest napping silently. Her pause made Tobi stop advancing and ask her what?
Noel: My old creations, they all don't want to be repaired you know that and one of them just left my side. I'm proud, the first mechanical entity that reaches the unknown tier even if it's just in a small time its worth as a creator.
Tobi: We are old beings, if not for these kids I'm gonna rush to that entity and try to kill without any care of my body and soul.
Noel smiles: Responsibilities always first you said as Bloodborne and as bystander, it really hit you hard first it Nameless but she knew and learn everything about you while playing just a normal main weapon of yours, then Liliana arrive a plain dangerous baby then you dream about them yet you never seeks them so me and Alice plans our racial races ultimate retirement.
Noel: You need a life even though you're an emotionally handicapped entity. This retirement also made me and Alice notice traces of soul not from any spirit realm or from the main one in the upper origin realm.
Tobi smiles, you know the two are watching now yet the moment he looks in the direction those souls they were talking disappeared.
Noel: I know mom is a shy one according to Alice yet I don't know about dad.
Tobi: He was just embarrassed, he left us unattended letting me decide everything. Leaving Alice who is 4 and you almost 2 years old yet he didn't continue but he started to walk as he called Noel saying we are almost there.
Noel shrugged and called him, can you at least finish your words sometimes yet she moved putting her hands on her pockets like a badass mafia gangster following Tobi.
...…
Nameless and Ame Warashi arrive in their farm lands only seeing Koko directing sprites on tending the corps and as nourishing the land two huge brown tusk boar sitting in a certain spot, their presence is enough for that yet the two have brought their 2 little piggy that on size of a bus roaming around.
The two entered the house only seeing Alice who froze as she plans to enter the basement.
Alice: Oh welcome home, you guys on time. I'm hungry and famished. I wanted some freshly cooked food as she didn't wait for their reply, only descending in the basement.
Pika pika "We have a little problem in the living room" The moment she hears the main door open she rushes to it as she calls them.
Nemaless and Ame Warashi saw Liliana hugging her head.
Liliana: I feel my head gonna break, Ahhhh.
Grand and Lex trying to dispel her the intoxication of the alcohol failed. Grand rubs his gengar hand on Liliana back as he sees her trying to throw up then he materializes a bucket for it.
Munch "Young boss and Master Ame Warashi, need help I dunno if I can make a hangover soup that can match an alcoholic intoxication in that level"
Gladiia arrived on time, quite confused yet she called them. I just sent some work for a pick up to be delivered and I bought some normal ingredients on the road.
Ame Warashi: Oh that's nice of you, I'm tired of eating tier class cuisine and it's time for me to eat some normal human food as Lex leads them to the kitchen.
...…
In the Basement Alice observes the eggs that line up in some lab tubes filled with her brother's blood and soul blood essence.
Why does this one have a link to the other two? Are they having a meeting?
She martelize a couch to sit on and Akuma who was the one who led her here also hopped on.
As she closed her eyes and computed her entry for her not to damage or harm the one she was going to enter its soul consciousness, she and Akuma appeared in a white space with concealment.
Three draconian kids, one boy and two girls. The boy with a black and white hair is playing Go with one of the girls with a black hair, bob cut hairstyle, her bangs almost hitting her eyebrows while the other one has purple hair playing an old eastern guitar. The three wear eastern clothing, their tail matches their hair color same with their horns, pointed ears yet in Alice eyes the three were her cute little nieces.
After the boy beat his opponent again in another round he started to monologue.
All things in this realm are part of the game. Love, hate, sentiment, enmity, maneuvers all. Every school's theory hinges upon the word 'decision'. Through sacrifice. seize the initiative. Abandon the small to gain the large. Grasp your stone… and place it with no re…. yet before he finished it his opponent hit him with a book in his face so fast he doesn't have time to react to dodge it.
The boy removed the book that pasted on his face then said can you let me finish it, we bet everytime one of us wins we will recite something, a piece or etc. The other girl playing a guitar called the two saying no fighting against siblings, dad always said it everytime he visited us one by one.
Soon a laugh was heard by the three, a huge round shadow covered the one playing an old guitar. She turned and saw a round furball creature with close eyes, it was cute yet a tattoo like nazi mark appeared. It was a lining of its second mouth slowly opening showing grinder teeths, saliva leaks out but it closes it. The mark appeared then slowly disappeared, its eyes slowly opened and its real mouth made a smile then it opened attacking her with its tongue.
The boy froze the moment he realized that the creature was not alone, a female wearing soft pants and an extra large thick shirt with a gaming logo called Nightreign. This individual picks up his opponent in its waist then sits cross legs facing him like it was her turn to play the game. Alice slowly put the little girl in her lap then she felt the gaze of the little lower her head to match it.
Alice: You should be Jie, then she fixes her eyes on the boy calling him Wang and she should be Jun the one being licked like an ice cream by Akuma. Akuma should stop it now as the furball heard her slowly shrink then smirk as its saliva instantly dried up, Jun felt crying but no tears as she looked at the creature then shifted her gaze to her aunt.
Alice: Is this a little reunion? Well I came to visit but your dad is taking a walk so I decided to check you guys. I thought the truth to be told if not for Akuma I almost forgot this guys to say hi, she was just smiling. Akuma moves next to her then continues her words. How about some Go rounds against me, little Wang and Jun play a nice country song for me.
Jun knitted her eyebrows as she thought of a piece she had selected, as a professional every time she plays the string of her old guitar a nice calm sound eases everyone's mind.
