Away from the entity irreversibly entangling themselves with an Inevitability.
Deep within a concealed region of the Folds...
A golden figure stood surrounded by a suffocating veil of silence.
It was Master Hannibal- or at least, one of his bodies!
He was still meeting two other Masters of Existence at this moment.
He turned his gaze to the others, golden eyes glowing faintly.
"The Key led to a domain perfect for what we need. Authority is limited inside the Labyrinth. Isolation is normal. It’s...ideal for killing Originus Venerants."
WAA!
Silence.
Torus raised an eyebrow, his third eye flickering.
Modiyana let out a faint hum.
They all knew what Hannibal was implying.
In the upper realms of power, ascension was no longer about progression for thousands or millions of years. They had enough of that shit.
It was about devouring.
True progress came from consuming the Weavings of Existence of others at the same level.
A True Source would be made even more complex when suplemented with the qualities of another!
A True Source of Destiny that devoured the weavings of the True Source of Beginnings could do even grander things. Purity would suffer, but complexity would continue to rise!
It was a dog eat dog reality.
But doing that wasn’t easy.
Not when Originus Venerants were nearly indestructible and likely holding multiple Resistances at 100%!
To kill one... you needed two or three Masters.
But these three?
They had done it before.
Quietly.
Efficiently.
"Multiple Sunfolds Masters of Existence are already isolated in this Labyrinth," Hannibal continued. "They’ll be more as they use this opportunity. But...once the Labyrinth seals them in... no one will know what happens inside. A more perfect killing field could not have been asked for. We share the Weavings of Existence just like before, okay?"
...!
Torus remained silent, but his third eye slowly opened wider.
A signal of agreement.
Modiyana finally spoke, her voice like layered echoes.
"What about the anomaly with no memory? The Unbound Living Paradox?"
Hannibal’s smile was cold.
"The Unbound Living Paradox a little chick trying to act like some big time schemer. He was separated from me, but this Labyrinth will bring us together soon enough. With nobody to protect him, he will learn what havig true power means. The anomaly with no memory...we will see about that one! But lets get going..."
...!
Three Masters of Existence plotted, and then made the moves to carry out their plans!
As they did this.
Back in the Veiled Sunfolds, past the entrance leading to the Living Origin Labyrinth.
The body of Master Hannibal found itself standing at the entrance of a vast forest filled with glittering and massive crimson gold trees.
Vibrant possibilities and dangers could be seen within its depths with many unknowns as in the next moment...
WAP!
Living Origin Authority flickered behind him as four Primarchs of the Veiled Sunfolds appeared.
Their eyes held bright expectations as Master Hannibal turned to them and asked lightly.
"The archway I entered is the same one you all entered? How long before it began fading?"
Of the Four Primarchs, a woman with a gold robe on furrowed as if she was receiving information from strings of destiny she couldn’t quite grasp, her voice echoing out.
"Within 10 seconds, the archway seems to dim. We were the last to get in before it faded."
"Mmm, I see."
Master Hannibal nodded, his eyes flashing with a cold and emotionless light as in the next moment...
BOOM!
