He laughed maniacally as the destruction of the world intensified. He didn't get a response since all the mouthpieces of the demon god in the plane had been eliminated. But he is sure that the demon god must be furious at him.
He became more assured of his conjecture when he saw the red moon disappear from the sky of the plane. Apparently, CARNAGE had given up on the plane so he smiled gleefully.
But his smile faltered as the plane cracked in half. It caused a sound like the loudest thunder to reverberate throughout the plane.
The stress on the plane has become too much. A deep trench that reached the bottom of the plane appeared. And within that trench is a most glorious sight.
"What is that?" He asked aloud in shock.
What appeared within the trench was a ball that seemed to be made of pure laws. It has no form or shape. The laws within it don't interact to form concepts. It is a ball of pure information and order.
Just looking at it made his mind become forcefully infused with knowledge of the cosmos and the workings of the world.
Simply looking at the ball or being aware of its existence is forcing his existence to embrace high-order information. It is information that is beyond him and it is as invasive as the supreme laws of world gods.
"Is that the life crystal?" he asked. "No, it is not. It shouldn't be the Life Crystal. I sense cosmic energy from it."
He is very familiar with cosmic energy so he knows it when he sees it. He doesn't know what the life crystal should look like but he doesn't think it should have cosmic energy.
Then he said in determination, "It doesn't matter. I must have it."
Gone is his fixation on destroying the plane. He has something to live for now. He must have that thing, whatever it is. It has cosmic energy so it must be very powerful. That means he must have it.
He is not the only one who has regained a new will for life. The fountain of life also saw this marvelous ball. After all, it shone with resplendent light that reached the sky. contemporary romance
The plane didn't become bright because the light it produced was not physical light. It is the light of knowledge and enlightenment meant for only those who can see its source. Those who can see this light, either succumb to it and die or withstand it but still yearn for more of it.
"Is that the life crystal?" the fountain of life asked too. "This appears to be more powerful than I imagined. If I can get it then I will surely become a Sovereign of law."
Here lies its hopes and dreams. This is what it has been searching for all along. It couldn't find it for 100 origin cycles but the plane gave it up as it was dying.
The plane exposed its roots to the world. The fountain of life felt like it could just look at it for all of eternity and bask in this light of enlightenment. But it saw Ragnarok move towards it.
Its eyes flashed with anger and determination. It made up its mind immediately.
"I must have the anchor of the plane. It is rightfully mine."
The anchor is rightfully its. After all, it has done the bulk of the work for the anchor of the plane to show like this. It has managed the plane all these years and let life thrive all over it. This strengthened the anchor. All Ragnarok did was destroy the plane and make it show up. Anyone could have done that. So the life crystal should be its and no one else's.
It is far away so it used ranged options. Its divine sense gripped the world of manifestation and it bent it to its will using its concept. The earth shook and broke. The broken pieces came together to form large humanoid structures. The created humanoid structures were then infused with life to become earth golems.
Thousands of giant earth golems 10 kilometers tall were created like this. They swarmed Ragnarok from every direction. The fountain of life knows that they can't beat him but they should delay him while it catches up.
The earth shook massively and cracked again as the earth golems stomped toward Ragnarok. The added stress of a thousand 10-kilometer-tall giants running over its fragile surface is pushing it over the edge.
Ragnarok observed his surroundings, "The plane is coming apart. I have to rush or it will be too late."
The plane is coming apart. If it comes apart before he gets the life crystal, then he will lose the life crystal forever. The anchor will return to mother high heaven. So he has to rush. He didn't bother to fight the earth golem. He barreled through them while using his tails to tear apart anything that tried to hold him back.
They tried to form a wall in front of him to block him. They stood side by side and back to back while some other earth golems went to grab the life crystal. But he cut off their plan before it finished. He opened his maw and ejected a blue beam of energy at them. The beam tore apart every obstacle in his way and created a path for him.
He was able to get to the life crystal before the plane gave up completely. The fountain of life also reached the life crystal at the same time as him. The two of them began to fight for the ownership of the treasure. It was the start of their second round of fighting.
They used their domains to rebuff each other. It caused explosions to occur between and around them. Ragnarok used his tails and the energy storage in his crystal pillars as a powerful means of attack to win the struggle. His powerful beam of energy flew around and cut through everything in his way.
