Part 1
"Im... im actually going to die"
Mystery hopelessly flings his arms towards the portal,his arm unnsturslly stretches and just as its about to touch the portal
A dolphin with legs stepped on it
Immediately everything went silent and slowed down
Mystery eyes went white
His bar hit the max limit when red glittchy hands and tendrles seemingly tore out from the ground about to grab his legs
A voice admist this chaos was heard
"Down...grreaahahshaaade"
Kogetsu shouted his voice harsher and broken
Mystery's bar went down slightly as the trendles shrank back
Mystery's eyes refocused abit of his strength returned
He tries with all his remaining energy to touch the portal but a chicken slowly descends on his hand
Mysterys expression goes blank
"We...lost"
He thought
A roar was then heard as a black phoenix comes out from Unknown body knocking away all the animals and Sunarth as well
He flips a few times before landing still clapping his hands in amusement
The phoenix begins to become ashes but manages to nudge Mystery's body slightly closer as Mystery's slightly grown out finger nail touch the portal immediately teleporting the three out,into Forge is shop
The three breath heavily as if they've been under water the whole time
[System prompt]
[Due to this area being a safezone mental state recalibrated existencial axis aligned as well as existencial state has been stabilized]
"So how was your 200 year trip?"
"Was it fun?"
After a while of calming the three look at Forge with perplexed expressions
"What do you mean 200 years!"
They all simultaneously shouted
"We've only been in there for at most a day and a few minutes"
Unknown says his expression was filled with surprise
Forge scratches the back of his head
"Right i forgot to mention how time flows in that world"
"You see in the cartoon realm there only 20 hours a day but since time is so slow in there time moves much faster in the regular world"
Mystery returns back to his gazeless expression
His brows narrow
"Wait so that would mean Freezo–"
The doors are flung open as the brazen Freezo returns
"ALRIGHT THIS TIME I'LL SUCCEE–"
Before he could finish time slowed as Mysterys fist was already inches away from smashing into his face
Freezo slowly opens his eyes,his confidence still brimming when
"Brwwhhhha"
Mystery fist smashes into Freezo's face as in the next moment his sent flying along with his goons breaking into a dark blue layer of reailty being the eighth layer
The rift shortly closes right after
Mystery's fist was icy cold his hand seemingly freezing over
He cuts it off a chop with zero hesitation then regenerates
Walking back into the store
Forge just looks at whole Unknown and Kogetsu laying on the ground
"Anyways you guys didn't answer my question how was the trip?"
Forge repeats once more
"Horrible"
They say in unison
Mystery then says his demeanor now serious
"Forge i can say this for the three of us"
"We will never enter that realm until we're strong enough to whoop Sunarth's ass!"
Forge chuckles lightly
"Heh well it'll surely be a while until
Your able too"
"Sunarth is a has a universal title so it will be forever until you catch up to him"
"You mean his universal title is the Illuminous Sun Jester"
Mystery remarks
"But he nor the System ever told us his title so how did we just know it along with that feeling of isolation when he was Mulinos"
Unknown says
The feeling as well as the memory were still as vivid if it happened a few moments ago
"Well actually that feeling along with knowing his title was a fated thing"
"More or less that universe itself forcibly making you acknowledge his title with the accompanied feeling varying from each universal title bearer"
"Well then how do you get a universal title?"
Kogetsu questions
Forge turns to him
"Well it's not about getting one but it's about how you unlock it"
"There's a universal system created by some omniscient all knowing being"
"This being has never been heard seen,but in a way conceived"
"It knows everything present,future,past and all possibilities"
Forge points at Kogetsu
"You and I along with everyone as well as thing in and out of existence has a dormant universal title"
"How to unlock it is beyond my knowledge but I can say beings with Universal titles have lived very long"
"Eras to be specific"
The three stare at Forge for a while before simultaneously sighing
"That's such an inconveniencebut no less I'll erase him and make him experience what I felt"
Kogetsu remarks
"Whatever I'll figure out a way to beat him even if he has a universal title"
Mystery says with a determined expression
Unknown holds his neck
"Well knowing how long an era is only solidifies his strength...so"
Unknowns glow his expression cold
"I'll just have to become so strong even title bearers can't handle me"
Forge stares at the three with slight surprise before smiling
"You three really are ambitious"
'Maybe as ambitious as those three'
He thought
"Welp I'm off to the library for 200 years seeya"
Unknown says casually
Becoming black flames vanishing
"I need some time to fully recover in the temporal realm"
Kogetsu says turning into rainbow particles
Mystery now left alone with Forge turns to him
"Well waht about you?"
Forge asks
"Oh me well I don't actually have much to do"
"Then go find your parents or something"
"Im sure that can keep you busy for 200 years"
Mystery shrugs and without another world zooms out of the glass door
The doors swind for a while before closing
Forge left in silence slumps on his chair and sighs
Suddenly the door behind him to the left wall that leads to his basement opens slightly
Forge glances at the opening door
"What do you want now?"
A black tentacle moves from the basement across the store at point at a green orb
"Tempest cores?"
"Why that?"
Forge ask
The tentacle lightly hits the ground three times before pausing as it hits the floor five times
Forge sighs
"Fine but no more then 100"
The tentacles hits the ground Once before taking a section of the shelf retreating into the the basement once more closing the door
Forge sighs then turns his chair around to grab a white crystal from his shelf if precarious items witb one if them being an eye ball in a jar of purple liquid
Forge looks the crystal closing one eye
Seeing into it
He sees Shadow meditating
Dark energy and white energy oozing from his body when he began to sweat but then grits his teeth before an explosion of grey energy occurred
He had turned into Shio once more
Shio like a mindless beast bounces around the confinement and after a few seconds reverts back to normal
Shadow gets back up and Continues to meditate
Forge places the crystal back in the shelf and thought
"He improved by a second not to bad"
