Master Of None

Chapter 2574: 2574. World Potential

ʼThe potential of the worldʼ

The single system message appeared before Walker saw darkness. The very same darkness where the chaotic manas crashed in to itself causing the birth of different elemental planes.

He saw that too. Manas that even he didnʼt have any chance of understanding. Manas which were more potent and destructive than what he had imagined. The unfathomable depth that this seemingly endless expanse of chaotic manas creating and destroying elemental planes or unique forms of mana altogether was.

Yet, Walker couldnʼt help but find himself frozen by the sight. He couldnʼt move as he wished, he could just see this chaos unfolding before he felt a pull. Something dragged him in to a more familiar place.

A blue sky and softly swaying grasses.

The field he had been sitting in. However, as he turned, he saw that it was shattered. Nothing but a shard of what it should be. This was more akin to seeing a broken open dungeon rather than the world as he knew it.

Walkerʼs breathing intensified. He felt like his heart might burst from his chest.

This was the world? The potential of the world was being shattered in to something so broken that it wasnʼt even a completed elemental plane or dungeon or anything?

It had been entirely broken. All around it was a chaotic storm of mana. An endless expanse where space wasnʼt even solid enough to hold elemental planes together.

Was this really the potential future of the world?

Walker blinked and found everything different. All he had just seen was gone without a single shred of evidence it had been there.

Instead, he found himself looking as if he were glancing at the world as an ant. He was standing over this small world viewing the strange connections through the chaotic void he knew as bridges. He could see the swirling masses that were the elemental planes coming together, mixing and creating boundaries.

The small bits of void shrank and the elemental planes united with the world causing a pulse of calm mana. Tendrils of space dragged more elemental planes out of the further chaos uniting them with the elemental planes. Expanding this unique connected elemental planes with the world perfectly bound at the center.

Chaotic manas ate away at the edges but just as they broke down a small part, another elemental plane would would fall in to place growing and repairing the parts eaten away.

He wasnʼt seeing a simple unification, he was witnessing the permanent bonding and eventual perfection he felt the world and elemental planes were moving toward already.

The chaotic mana voids between the world and the elemental planes would eventually be calmed or mixed in a strange balance with the elemental planes and world. It just depended on the effort put in to ensure it as possible.

He could sense it as well. Something about the manas mixing beyond just natural mana. There were the same manas he couldnʼt fathom within the world now. They moved about mixing and melding to create new aspects. To inspire new life.

At some points all manas mixed in to something purer than true mana which Walker had believed was the unification of all manas.

He swore he could also sense more overarching aspects of these manas. Concepts of what made them be. What caused them to act in ways that they did.

There was more out there that every being within the elemental planes and the world could chase. Things beyond mana which were beyond what Walker knew he could currently comprehend. Parts of existence itself that he and others could strive to discover, to learn about.

Goals grander than just growth were out there waiting for someone to grasp them.

There was potential for this future. There was potential for it all to crumble and chaotic manas to shatter everything.

There was no surety that the world or the elemental planes would survive. This reward of glimpsing the potential future of the world was just that, a maybe. A what it.

There was potential for destruction and chaos: potential for order and peace. Potential to ascend beyond the limits and dreams every being currently had.

The origin race had always traveled these places of chaos and order. Always built and discovered. Walker felt the thrum of recognition in his mind and soul as he realized this.

The origin race was not one massively ahead of others, they had glimpsed a greater potential and began to strive for it. They sensed a will of existence and chased after it trying to discover more and allow others that same opportunity.

”So that will be my role.”

Walker understood it now. The Origin race was amazing and powerful. They were also few and mysterious. They had strength that would harm the delicate world and therefore could not venture there.

Walker was born of the world and followed his skills and dreams to pursue unique aspects of the world and existence itself. When heʼd managed to change his race he had done so through miraculous methods causing him to be weak but perfectly suited to work from within the world as the core for a potential future where everything united properly.

There was a weight to this knowledge he couldnʼt describe even if he wanted to. While he knew he would always have the support of those he called family, this was something he understood needed to be done step by step.

Each step would be larger. Each accomplishment would mean more to the world and the elemental planes. Just signing up his family for these tasks might be something they were not prepared for or wanted to pursue. He needed to be open and clear with everything. He couldnʼt just drop massive ambitions or tasks on them.

They had to take small steps in a proper order to achieve the best future for everything. For everyone.

As his mind snapped back to reality, Walker felt he had absorbed more manas than usual. His body didnʼt feel bad about it though, it was actually feeling more energetic. Ready to keep pursuing the next task, discovering the next path.

After a deep breath, Walker stood up and proved that Fleur had left him and gone back to Genesis. It was most likely to help the spirit race help and remedy the stagnant elemental manas elsewhere.

Because Fleur was the leader of the spirit race, she could interact with elemental spirits in general better than others. It would be much easier to learn from them where there might be stagnant manas. It might also be a better way to learn how to sense from a distance where problem areas might be arising.

He could sense Fleur and knew she was working hard so he didnʼt worry at all. He could also sense that the harpy queen was still nearby. It helped him understand that his mana senses had expanded yet again but also that he hadnʼt actually meditated for that long which was also a good thing.

Moving back through the air, Walker directed himself toward Genesis. He felt a strange fluctuation of fire mana for a split second. He didnʼt feel it was that dangerous but he could tell that it was a test. He also could guess who was doing it.

”Everyone, the first test was successful. No damage caused to the immediate area and quick dispersion of condensed fire mana. We just need to make it so that the mana lingers more and that the smoke does not hang low in the air.” The battle potion testing area was highly constructed with elemental defense in mind. Simply so that there could be no issues for the general public.

Remey had returned herself to Genesis with an additional quest from the will of the world. She needed to create potions to help balance mana stagnant areas. Her mind had raced and she managed to weaken any damage the explosive potions did while utilizing the explosive aspects to send out manas.

In turn, this created the idea that the lingering manas could balance the stagnant mana and move things along. She had the formula almost perfect. One more ingredient to calm the smoke left behind and one of her first mana dispersing potions would be finished.

”This is a great idea. Remey, I think we can send this with sensory mages and scouts who will be able to manage the mana dense and mana stagnant areas. With the help of spirit race and elemental spirits it might work even better.” As Remey turned around she was not at all surprised to find Walker returning. His smile told her he was very glad that she had been working on something like this.

”Who else would have made a potion like this? Now get over here and help me test the next one before we make a water version.”
