Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos-Novel

Chapter 1794 Error

With a few fresh bite marks and bruises, Vahn retired to the peak of a vast plateau that was nearly 100km in height and 6,000km in diameter. This was one of many special training locations within the Ninth Layer, and, more often than not, it was the location where people like Goku, Ichigo, and Roger sparred.

Though he would normally only venture to ’Heaven’s Arena’ for training, Vahn’s purpose this time around was simply to have a bit of privacy. He was about to create what Da Vinci hypothesized to be one of the four most powerful Templates he could possibly create, a being simply known as ’The Law of Identity’.

As was often the case whenever he was stuck on something, Vahn could trust Da Vinci to help him come up with the best possible solution to his problems. She knew he was trying to find a way to help the Templates he created to develop True Egos. Thus, after a lengthy conversation regarding the very structure of reality, they determined that the Laws of ’Identity’, ’Abstraction’, ’Oblivion’, and ’Null’ were the fundamental concepts that accounted for every potentiality in existence.

The Law of Identity, as the name implied, was what allowed all beings with an Ego to recognize the existence of themselves. It was this ability to identify and distinguish themselves from other things that allowed for the existence of sapience, and, as a result, everything in ’Order of Creation’ was a byproduct of Identity. This included the Records themselves, as, on their most fundamental level, it was the amalgamation of countless dreams, derived from the perception of countless ’individuals’, that gave them structure.

Since the Law of Identity was such an intrinsic part of ’everything’, Da Vinci hypothesized that it was the key to unlocking the true potential of his [Universal Mind]. This only problem was, even with his and Da Vinci’s combined understanding of The Path and the very nature of reality, understanding a concept such as the Law of Identity was simply impossible. He could potentially circumvent his lack of comprehension with [Keeper of the Akashic Tome], but, much like everything else he had named with the remarkably powerful Innate, it would invariably be tainted by his perception and desires...

Shaking his head, Vahn adopted a lotus position in order to completely clear his mind of wayward thoughts. He knew that the act of creating a Template based on a concept that simply couldn’t be defined was already an ’impossible’ feat to perform. After all, any appearance, personality, or traits it possessed would drastically reduce the power of the concept since they were all things that could be clearly defined. This was a contradiction of the Law of Identity’s very existence, representing ’all things’, so the best thing to do was discard any and all expectations. That way, even if the Template he created simply ’didn’t exist’, at least as an individual entity, he would have at least confirmed one of their theories...

Without knowing exactly how much time had passed, Vahn slowly opened his eyes, smiling as he noticed the vibrant plant life that had spread around him. There were even a few small life forms in the area; tiny bugs with gem-like carapaces and a creature similar to a butterfly except for the fact it had crystalline wings. This was an increasingly common phenomenon whenever he used the Mantra of Eternity, one which Da Vinci was keenly interested in since the byproducts of his meditation were generally impossible to analyze.

Though he was also extremely interested in the mysterious lifeforms that possessed similar qualities to his blood, Vahn discarded all thoughts as he activated [Universal Mind]. Then, without forming an image, he attempted to will the Law of Identity into existence.

Vahn’s hope was that his comprehension of the Law of Identity would be the only thing interpreted by [Universal Mind], but, unsurprisingly, things didn’t go exactly as planned. His subconscious had a tremendous influence on the Templates he created, so, by attempting to bypass this, he effectively left only one source for the Innate to draw inspiration from: the subliminal desires and preferences that had become an intrinsic part of his character.

Feeling a sensation similar to a balloon swelling within his mind, blood erupted from Vahn’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He felt like the mysterious energy produced by [Universal Mind] had melted his brain, and, were it not for his inability to simply recreate himself and recover from virtually any injury, there was a very real chance he might have died. Instead, the feeling of his brain swelling quickly receded, his blood evaporating into a hazy pink mist as a cooling sensation washed over his mind and quickly spread throughout the rest of his body.

Opening his eyes, Vahn wasn’t particularly surprised to find a young woman with vibrant red hair staring back at him with a curious glimmer in her rust-red eyes. What did surprise him was the fact that she was wearing slightly transparent, pure-white, lingerie. This included a pair of stockings that seemed to struggle with containing the woman’s plump thighs, and, most notably, a garter belt that perfectly accented the intricate lace panties that could stir the hearts of even the most rational men.

Since his ’instincts’ told him that this girl was fabricated in accordance with his preferences, Vahn’s eyes briefly wandered to her rather modest chest as he asked himself, ("Is this the result of so many girls with modest breasts asking me about my preference? I honestly thought I had a preference for more ’motherly’ women...")

Though she knew he wasn’t actually talking to her, Sis issued an amused giggle before stating, (*I believe you may have mistaken your comfort bias with your actual preferences. Physical attraction and preferences rarely have anything to do with personal comfort. Rather, they are the traits that stir your urges and inspire you to ’action’. You have a lot of appreciation for women with motherly traits, so, while you are able to relax around them more easily, the way you view them is drastically different from how you view potential lovers. If I had to actually define your preferences...you like petite women with red hair, lively personalities, toned butts, and soft thighs...*)

Staring at the woman smiling back at him, Vahn couldn’t deny that she fit the Sis’ description to a remarkable extent. She was around 156cm in height, possessed facial features that made her seem ’bubbly’ even when she was just smiling, and, though her breasts were rather modest, the rest of her body was lithe, toned, and incredibly soft-looking. She also had two large ahoge popping out from the top of her head like antennae and a rather unruly ponytail that gave off the impression that she was a very free-spirited young woman.

Deciding it would be a little awkward if he just continued gawking at the lingerie-clad young lady, Vahn pulled out fur-lined parka from his Inventory. The Heaven’s Arena was remarkably cold, and, though it didn’t seem to bother her in the slightest, having her staring back at him in nothing but her underwear was a little distracting. Even her aroma seemed to match his preferences, emulating the strange earthy fragrance he had experienced from the peculiar bunny tribeswoman back in the Akamatsuverse...

Rather than accepting the parka, the red-headed beauty titled her head to the side, giggling as she adopted an even more radiant smile and remarked, "You’re weird. You went through the trouble to give me this appearance and now you want me to cover it up? I refuse~!"

Like a spring that had been under high tension, the girl followed her exclamation by pouncing on Vahn, forcing the air from his lungs as she hugged him with monstrous strength and added, "I want you to look! It makes me feel all ticklish and fluttery on the inside! Come on, you don’t need to hold yourself back on my account! Let’s have fun together, nyahahahaha~."

Though it wasn’t his first time dealing with someone who possessed ridiculous strength, Vahn felt a cold sweat break out across his body as he realized he couldn’t offer any resistance at all. He could feel his bones and organs being crushed into a meaty pulp, and, if not for his unique constitution, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that her seemingly innocent hug would have killed him...

-----------------------------------------------

Expecting to find some answers by investigating the incomprehensibly powerful woman’s status, Vahn was at a complete loss for words when he noticed everything but her Innates were listed as ’Errors’. This was something completely new, and, though she was able to see it for herself, even Sis couldn’t make sense of the nameless girl’s status. It was impossible for a being to exist outside the scope of The Path so there was no reasonable explanation for why her status and parameters were all listed as errors...

Since even Sis didn’t have an answer, Vahn grabbed the shoulders of the mysterious redheaded girl who seemed to be enjoying the ’squishiness’ of his body quite a bit. This was enough to garner her attention, a glimmer of amusement visible in her rust-red eyes as she answered his question before he could even ask, musing, "How am I supposed to know when even my Creator doesn’t? All I know is that I have always been here."

Punctuating her words, the unnamed woman pressed at the very center of Vahn’s chest, her finger piercing through his solar plexus and somehow coming into contact with the rainbow-hued crystal that represented his Ego. This caused Vahn’s body to shatter like broken glass as an indescribable amount of pain spread throughout his entire existence.

Surprised by the fragility of her Creator, the unnamed woman showed a very fretful expression as she exclaimed, "Ah! Why did you break!?" before flusteredly gathering the pieces of his shattered Ego. This wasn’t something others were even supposed to be able to interact with, but, as if such restrictions meant absolutely nothing to her, the girl was somehow able to piece him back together like the pieces of a puzzle.

With his Ego restored, Vahn’s body quickly became whole once again, his face paling as he looked up at the red-headed beauty staring down at him with a radiant smile on her face. This was one of the first times in a long time he felt completely helpless, as, even though she was listed in his Unit Management, every single value related to the woman was listed as an Error. His instincts told him that she would obey his commands, but, at the same time, he got the impression she would just be humoring him to alleviate her boredom...

Fortunately, Vahn had matured considerably since his encounter with Tiamat nearly three-hundred-years prior. He still felt helpless, but, rather than regret a decision he had already made, he forced a smile as he adopted a seated posture and said, "Take a seat. We have a lot of things to discuss..."

Rather than obey him immediately, the red-headed girl adopted a playful smile on her face before promptly turning around and wiggling her butt in his general direction. Vahn had to admit it was quite the remarkable sight to behold but he couldn’t help but feel a sense of danger as he noticed the perky white cheeks seemingly ’lock on’ to his lap. Then, before he could hold up his hands and tell her to control her strength, the unnamed woman ended up vaporizing his body as she impacted him with enough force to split the Heaven’s Arena in two...
