Memory of Heaven:Romance Written By Fate Through Beyond Infinity Time-Chapter 414 From Behind the World — Shadows Unwritten, Foundations Uninherited
Chapter 414 - 414 From Behind the World — Shadows Unwritten, Foundations Uninherited
The spiral built by Rui and Joanna shines at the center of the new altar, alongside the soft light from the sanctified core of time. For the first time in thousands of cycles of destruction, the world feels a pulse that does not originate from the old laws or the curses of the past; yet within their hearts, a hidden, unexpressed sense of anxiety lurks, as if the shadows of her past still loom, reminding her of the price that must be paid for this resurrection.
However, the calmness... is a deceptive surface.
For behind the lowest layer of reality—beyond even the realm of Aspiratum, where the boundaries of life and death begin to blur—something stares back.
It has no name.
Not because it has been forgotten, but because it has never been named. It is not born from the Spiral. Nor is it a product of the original will. It exists between the first pulse and the last desire, witnessing all wills colliding from afar. In the fragments of time that seem to be awake in silence, the entity feels every wave of emotion born from souls yearning for freedom.
Now, as two new wills—Rui and Joanna—unite an order that does not stem from fate, the entity is shaken.
In the uncertainty that envelops its existence, feelings of jealousy and emptiness ambush, inviting profound questions—will this will erase its nonexistence? And unknowingly, it begins to move.
"They unite... then the time opens. The time breaks again."
Omega, who has now united with the tree of time and the crystal of aspiration, feels a crack beyond human reason and logic that has altered the boundaries of their world.
In the embrace of silence, she contemplates the meaning of her existence, recalling the injustices stored in eternity. Omega speaks to Joanna and Rui:
"There is something... that never wanted to be born... yet now feels threatened."
"I cannot touch it. It is beyond the Spiral. Beyond possibility."
Rui stands in the courtyard of the altar, gazing at the night sky that had once healed and turned golden. In silence, her heart is filled with an overwhelming awareness, a fear whispering that her loved ones might lose everything.
Suddenly, one of the stars goes out.
Not disappearing.
But swallowed from behind dimensions.
At the edge of the world, cracks like black veins begin to spread, not just in the air... but in the concepts that form the foundation of reality. She feels that every second, every memory formed, could doubt her existence.
Some spells can no longer be uttered.
Historical records that have been etched for centuries begin to change shape, creating chaos within the deep void.
Certain memories begin to blur slowly. Memories that have always been a hold now feel like sand flowing through the gaps of her fingers, difficult to grasp and remember clearly.
Zeus and the old gods notice it.
"This is not a will."
"This is anti-will. A force born not from mere desire... but from a deep feeling that there should be no desire at all." She can feel fragments of hope crashing, causing unease in her soul, as if something wishes to replace all the visions and aspirations she has longed for.
Rui sits beneath the Spiral Sanctuary they built. She closes her eyes, trying to calm the inner voice that grows louder. In the dark, she wonders how far they can endure before the emptiness seeps in and merges with them.
"I can feel it. Something is trying to rewrite what we have yet to create."
Joanna sits beside her, her hand touching Rui's chest, as if trying to stabilize the waves raging within her body. In the softness of her touch, there is warmth that she tries to impart, as if reminding her that not all hope has vanished.
"Perhaps... this is not just an enemy for us to fight, but a reflection of ourselves that needs to be understood."
"Perhaps... this is a shadow of ourselves."
Rui looks at Joanna, her eyes filled with doubt yet simultaneously seeking a deeper understanding. She feels a thread connecting them to that shadow, a sweet yet bitter reflection of the desires and fears they each feel. freёnovelkiss.com
"A shadow of the will that does not want to exist?"
Joanna nods, with her lips sealed, feeling the same burden flowing within both of them. She too senses that this battle is far deeper than mere physicality; within themselves, they wonder if a purpose can still be found amidst the void that surrounds them.
"A shadow of those who... have given up."
Though danger creeps subtly, Rui and Joanna begin the initial stage of building a new world that will encompass all hopes and fears:
They form the Pillar of Three Wills:
Pillar of Acceptance
Pillar of Transformed Rejection
Pillar of New Choice
They rewrite the laws of the Spiral not based on magic, but on the balance of feelings.
They open the Gate of Harmonia, connecting the remnants of another world that wishes to believe again.
But as the first Pillar is erected... it wavers.
The cracks of the unnamed entity infect their foundations.
In the doubt that envelops their souls, Rui feels a heavy burden weighing on her heart. The question that continues to wander in her mind is whether they truly deserve to create this new world. Each heartbeat seems to call for an answer to the emptiness that now deepens, as if time and space have stopped merely to reflect on their existence.
That night, Rui dreams.
But her dream is not visual.
She stands in an empty room. And before her... something sits in an invisible chair. Its voice sounds like broken bones.
"You hold all the wills that have ever been rejected..."
"...but what if they were never meant to live?"
Rui falls silent, not answering with words, but every form of doubt is clearly reflected on her face.
The entity stands.
With every word spoken, Rui feels bitterness. Gabriela, her friend who has passed, reappears in her memory, emphasizing the weight of this responsibility. Must she repeat the same mistakes once again?
"I do not want a world. I do not want meaning. I do not want to be desired."
"I... want all those wills to fade back to the silent origin."
Rui clenches her fists.
"Then I will fight... not to win..."
"...but so that those who were once rejected can choose for themselves whether they want to leave or stay."
As this thought crosses her mind, hope and fear intertwine within her soul. Each person she rejected reminds her of the unbearable pain, yet the hope of their return seems to ignite her spirit. Rejecting the emptiness is the same as embracing new courage.
When Rui awakens, Joanna holds her hand tightly as if to strengthen the connection between them.
"Do you feel it too?"
"Yes," Rui replies. "It does not want to exist. But our existence forces it to confront itself."
Rui reflects for a moment, feeling the depth of the void within her as a haunting shadow, vibrating with every breath she takes.
"It is not darkness."
"It is the void with will."
In her view, the void appears as a lurking shadow, waiting for the right moment to devour a glimmer of hope. How terrifying, she thinks, I could become a part of it.
On Omega's horizon, the sky is no longer blue and bright. Instead, it becomes an unexplainable gray, filled with mysteries that no one has uncovered.
Invisible cracks crawl toward the foundations of the Spiral Sanctuary, signaling a threat lurking behind the veil of reality.
There, beneath the world, a heartbeat can be heard—the heartbeat of something that has no heart and is not bound by the laws of life. Each beat seems to echo a deep longing for life, even though all of it is wrapped in the encompassing void.
"The Spiral wants to survive..."
"...then I will become the Spiral that Was Never Spun."
