Chapter 4 - █████ ████

"You're not stopping me?" Kiana in a rather light hearted tone asked Klein , who was right beside her

 

"I won't stop what you're about to do. Maybe if this was the earth I knew where everyone was counting on me I would but—This world isn't the world I knew."

 

"My son-" Aldric's aged voice seemed like it was about to make a grand speech but-

 

SMACK*

 

"Why-? Did you have to hit me like that?" He sounded genuinely confused this time wondering why his wife was hitting him like that.

 

"Daughter." Alena's voice sounded chilling and angry , her red eyes seemed to lose all luster as one could see an imaginary demon appearing behind her back.

 

"Ahem. My Daughter. Ah whatever. Normally I'd blabber something about With Great Power comes Great Responsibility bla bla bla but honestly. This time they started it first even after you guys gave them a warning."

 

"They hurt our child. Our Family. Even though we didn't do anything. Sometimes humans just need a little wake up call." Mom said with a dead pan face

 

"However. Don't kill the innocent. Once you go that way there's no turning back." His voice that started as rather playful turned stern at the last part.

 

Mom and Dad seemed rather calm , though I can feel it , I can sense it , they're really pissed. Imagine yourself as them for a moment , Ah some random organization comes knocking at their door.

 

Telling them to surrender a daughter they adopted. By threatening their other kids. Adopted or Not they were all a part of their family—Maybe it's a parent's dignity to stay calm and guide their children.

 

"I know I know I'm not gonna turn to some sort of God-Like being that could destroy everything as I-"

 

Stares. Mom , Dad looked at me like I'm crazy , Shiro's not saying anything, probably not getting involved. Ah Klein was laughing inside they can't see it though because of his Fooling.

 

"Ahahaha-?" I give a stifled laughter but what can I do , ah but what if Grandma and Kanade—

 

"They're asleep" Shiro's voice spoke softly as she looked at Klein.

 

"They won't wake up until it's over." Klein said with a reassuring voice. 

 

"Now go." Dad's voice no longer flustered but calm like he usually does.

 

"Show them what happens when you mess with our family" Mom's voice sounded rather excited but still stern. 

 

And Off "I" Go.

 

 

"SURRENDER OR THEY GET IT" a voice echoed loudly through a large screen , onto it one could see a few figures. 

 

A girl , 146cm in height , her once lustrous white hair now stained with blood and dust. She was Gaby Mochizuki , a Paradox of Crim or Kou , from the world of Destiny Unchain Online. 

 

Gavin Iskandar , an Asian guy who holds Boosted Gear from the world of High school DxD. His once confident demeanor was gone , replacing it , a face of despair and rebellion.

 

Nicole , once known as the Assassin hero Reid , from the japanese web novel "Reincarnated as the Hero's Daughter" , her clothes were torn. Her once smooth skin , exposed to the world—Humiliating.

 

Once more they threatened this small family , threatening to kill and torture them until this family surrenders the anomaly in the world of Remnants , Yoisaki Kanade. 

Perhaps at that moment they were confident , thinking they could only retrieve Kanade because they were weak. However, that is far from the truth. For in this household exist 2 of what we later know as Pillars.

 

Suddenly everything stopped. No sound could be heard. Nothing could move—It was as if the world forgot how to move on. That was the simplest way to describe what was happening.

 

"Thats?" Acheron said cautiously—she could feel it. No—All 3 of them could feel it.

 

[Inevitable.] Raiden Bosenmori Mei said her voice showing emotion.

 

[This feeling… , stronger than the heavenly principles.] Ei said cautiously

 

[Kiana-?] Mei said, shocked. Her voice seemed to carry recognition 

 

"███-?" Aurelion said , his voice seemed to tremble with recognition , yet his body was shaking uncontrollably , at that moment it was as if he recognized his place , not even prey for such a being

 

—Herta's Society—Main Base

 

"What sort of-?" Herta voiced her thoughts with a sense of urgency something one would never expect from someone with a mind like hers.

 

"My sensors can't pick up shit." Rick's voice sounded even more annoyed , for someone known as the smartest man in the universe he didn't expect there exists something he can't understand.

 

"My. Goodness" Professor Farnsworth's voice was louder than ever , not only him though and not only them. One could see the geniuses from each of their own worlds.

 

Agnes Tachyon , Vegapunk , Reed Richards , Peter Parker , Dr Stone , Kal'Tsit , Doctor Who and countless more geniuses from each and their own fictional worlds.

 

Sure some laws and some things are different from where they were , but their brains adapted rather instantaneously to the change in the rules of reality merely like solving a 1x1 rubik's cube

 

But at this moment perhaps. They had a similar thought , one of curiosity , yes this could kill them , but in the eyes of most of these geniuses. The Pursuit of Knowledge is far more important than their own lives.

 

 

"Impossible." Rimuru murmured to himself , sure Ciel isn't here with him , but his instincts and intuition are telling him a simple thing. Don't. He even wonders if he had all his powers could he beat it instantly?

 

"End?" Nirras raised her eyebrows , even if she isn't an omnipotent eldritch God in this world , she could feel it. Her instincts were warning her. Do Not. Get Involved.

 

Fang Yuan merely gazed himself into the direction of It. His pitch black eyes seemed to be assessing something.

 

"This…" Violet thought to herself , even as a Pillar in this confusing world , she herself couldn't help but shiver at the divinity that was emanating from wherever that was…

 

And a voice was heard "It" echoed throughout the entire world. Throughout reality. An emotionless voice that carried no emotion whatsoever , and it simply said.

 

[You Dare?]

 

Yet that simple word was enough to bring fear. And pressure. She was standing there. Not everyone could see it. Yet everyone could feel it. Long white and purple hair tied in a ponytail.

 

with a metallic crown adorned with a small segmented tassel on top of her head. Her eyes. Bluish purple, with bright pink glowing irises, shaped like 4 pointed stars. 

Covering hers a white and dark purple dress-like clothes

 

Adorned with black and purple flowers , with two white and chitinous wing-like structures floating on the sides of her body , overflowing with an unknown amount of energy with a field of stars visible from her back.

 

—Snap* 

 

The drones turned statics , suddenly the world was silent for a split second. Her fingers merely snapped. Yet what ensued was something unimaginable

 

—CHAOS.

 

Deep underground, a powerful orbital satellite weapon was already mid-activation. Codename: ███████. Energy levels peaked. Target lock established. Firing sequence: 87%-███████████ 

 

Then. The satellite feed glitched. On every monitor across the globe—One frame. Just one. Her fingers mid-snap. Behind her wings—Stars. Not mapped. Not catalogued. 

 

Astronomy databases later confirmed: Those constellations did not exist in any observable region of the known universe. Transmission resumed. The satellite no longer in orbit. 

 

It had not fallen. It had not exploded. It had been cut into perfect cubic segments—Scattered silently across low orbit like debris from a god's scalpel. 

No detonation was recorded. It had been destroyed mid-activation.

 

—The Silentium ███'s lab , room ███

 

SIR—THE ENTIRE STRIKE SQUAD IS GONE!" The researcher's voice cracked full of panic . Three hundred trained personnel. Erased. Not disintegrated. Not scattered. Gone. as if they had ended. 

 

—BANG*

 

The door into their room was opened with another panic researcher. She was scared, her eyes no longer focusing as if she just saw something. Something Impossible.

 

"Th- The- Di-Di-Directors." her voice quivering , her eyes darting everywhere , her entire body trembled

 

"CALM DOWN , WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DIRECTORS" The "Sir" they addressed shouted , his voice raspy yet steady. 

 

"Th-The-They.. Withered.. like-like-like-" She fainted . And so he ran to the director's room as he had the clearance , and he saw. RED . Their bodies no longer recognizable 

 

 Yet their heads all stayed intact , their eyes however , scared and frozen in time , it was as if they saw something they shouldn't have seen , but what could scare them this much?

 

—Clink*

 

And so suddenly the environment surrounding them changed. They were outside. Of their organization's base. "The Silentium". Everyone was outside , all members of their organization 

 

They all looked confused until a scream could be heard-

 

"KYAAAAAAA" a female researcher's scream echoed before she fainted. It was gone. Their entire base , Gone. Replacing it a huge crater. Clean. Artificial. Shaped like a cube. 

 

All of a sudden they heard another voice . It resounded in their minds , to every single mind possible , it couldn't be an illusion , not when the entire world heard it at the same exact moment.

 

[There is No Next time] The voice echoed before disappearing as if it never existed , as if everything that just happened was a dream. Yet their base—gone. Replacing it a cube shaped crater.

All of a sudden the strike squad reappeared at the edge of the crater. Some trembling—Some silent—Some screaming.

It was as if they'd lost their minds. Yet weirdly enough not all were affected.

Some clawed at their own faces. Others laughed. A few simply stared at nothing. 

Psychological evaluation later concluded.

 

All affected individuals had prior records of violent intent toward her families—Or histories of crimes severe enough to warrant capital punishment.Those without such records remained sane. Shaken. But intact.

 

"This incident is now known as "██████ ████" The person in front of them spoke solemnly 

 

"I was. One of the lucky survivors of that incident" he added , he gave her a single piece of document , as she opened it . It read

 

Official designation: ████████ ████ Threat Level: █████

 

Primary Rule Established: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ATTEMPT TO ABDUCT ANY MEMBER OF "THE FAMILY". 

 

No debate followed. No dissent was recorded. Even the most radical factions agreed. Silently. It was a message , a sign , perhaps a realization. That humans were no longer the apex of the food chain.

 

 

"What was that?" Lucian seemed to ask into the air , his system interface instantly went from [3] to [0] , it seemed to glitch in front of his eyes. Struggling to even form such simple words

 

[DO ███ QUeS⍑⟟⌾☊ Í͙̼T͈͕͐͗͊ fOዪ 𝙸⃥̸⃝ 𝚃⃥̸⃝ I█ CONCLUSION] 

 

At that moment he seemed to be hit with a painful headache. Being a fiction enthusiast , he remembered the words of Alger Wilson , better known as the hanged man from the famous novel series—

 

—Lord of The Mysteries , written by the "Cuttlefish that loves diving" One of the 2 founding members of the tarot club , Chapter 678 right after The Hermit tried to directly look at The Fool.

 

"Do not pry into the mystery of God…" he said as we saw Cattleya getting hit with the True Creator's rap album as punishment by Mr. Fool , at this moment he had a new theory.

 

We later call these beings Pillars. Manifestations of concepts. Everything is a derivation of these Pillars . Conclusion , Deviation , Continuation , Cohesion and Recollection
