***Nowhere***

“How the fuck can you be here?” The Calamity survived while everything else vanished? That can't be! Did I make a mistake?

“I am tired. I see that your current self doesn't know anything of the true nature of this whole affair....” The monstrosity before me starts to speak with a gentle and sane voice.

“What do you mean? How can you even be here? I destroyed the fucking universe!” I scream at the thing beyond the barrier.

It nods. “Yes. You destroy the universe. Then you recreate it. Then you destroy it. Then you create it. It's an endless self repeating cycle which was set in motion by your first incarnation. Everything just to destroy me.”

The thing starts to walk back and forth in front of the barrier. “It's just here, in this almost starved state that I am sane and we can hold this conversation, Bright One. Otherwise the other personalities would be suppressing me.”

“You are one of the first souls that attempted the fusion?” My mind goes blank. Did he survive by using the other souls as a shield? Somehow?

“Yes. I am the first. I wished for true eternity. And see what I ended up with.” The monster waves at the endless white plane. “Your spell is truly devious, Bright One. I wish I knew how you did it! You aren't even aware of it but you created this whole situation. Just to punish me! I don't need to be here you know? I could be out there in the nothingness. I could hide and you would recreate the multiverse. Then I will give in to my hunger and eat until you destroy the multiverse again. And so on and so forth. I lost count of it.”

The thing stops in it's tracks. “And the funny part is this. You aren't even aware of it! And yet you always stop me again and again without fail. You can't even go insane because you don't remember all those iterations. A truly marvellous spell! A spell that can end something like me that's meant to be eternal. Or maybe it wasn't you? Maybe you are just a tool of the multiverse to achieve balance? Maybe something like me isn't meant to be?”

I frown. “You are an idiot. What would you do all alone with yourself. It would be boring like hell!”

The demon shrugs. “Maybe. And maybe not. Who knows?”

“So why aren't you hiding? If it's true that you are weak? Your story is strange. From my theory I shouldn't be able to restart the multiverse if you still exist. You are an observer too.” I squint my eyes while I think about the motivations of the monster before me.

“I am here because I want to end it. And I don't count as an observer since a long time ago. In order to attain eternity, I disconnected myself from the multiverse. Do you know why your spell is so devious? It's because I can't run. Even if I run, I end up here! I can't escape! And while I am alone and conscious, I can't deal with this endless white eternity! And you will go on to bring me here. I am going mad!” The thing beats the barrier with a clawed fist and starts to rattle on.

“It doesn't matter if your next reincarnation is an angel. A dwarf. Male or female! Big, fat, muscular, thin, young, old. You just appear here every time to mock me! You show me all the different lives you lived in order to punish me for what I tried to give up! And you don't even know why. That's the funny part. Ohhh. What would I give to meet your first iteration again and ask him how he did it!” The thing spreads it's arms and smirks at me.

“So! Come out of there and let's have a last fight to the death! Just you and me!” The thing taunts me.

I frown again and smirk while I scratch my cheek. “Why should I? Now that I know that you are out there? I guess you used the other souls as a shield.... somehow. I just have to invoke the wave-front a few more times until the multiverse is completely wiped. You are like an artefact that survived the first wipe. Maybe the multiverse keeps resetting itself because of your continued existence. Palace, invoke the wave-front again as soon as you are ready.”

The Calamity lets it's hands fall. “Yeah, well. I expected that it wouldn't work to taunt you. Maybe I would have won?”

“Who knows?”

Then the other side of the barrier turns black again. After a few seconds, Palace returns us back to the previous state. This time there is no monster outside. But I don't trust the peace. “Palace, repeat the process until your energy reserves are depleted. Then drop the barrier.”

I sit down on the ground and watch the process for some time. After a while the other side stays white and I can hear the voice of Palace.

~Done.~

I get up with a burning sensation in my feet and walk outside. I hope the Calamity is gone for real this time.

So what to do now? I thought that everything would work out just by wishing for it. But nothing happens? Should I try to use my mana too? Feeling for energy?

“Turn back! Exist! And there is light!”

Graah! How stupid! Trying to give commands with your voice! Ok. Then what if I need a really exact image of what I want? Maybe using self hypnosis? I turn to watch the room behind me. It's just a big box made out of crystal now.

The easiest way to imagine everything should be from the inside. I should be able to imagine the universe going back to its previous state outside the room.....

So I walk back inside and squat down to take a comfortable position. Meditation! How do I want the multiverse to be.........

….Minutes...curiosity...

….Hours....bewilderment....

….Days.....FRUSTRATION!....

“Graaaa! This doesn't work! Why doesn't it work!?” I start to hit the ground. Did I make a mistake? Did I break the multiverse? I will be caught here forever?

Forever alone! “Hahahahaha....” This is too funny. Did that demon trick me in the end? Did I condemn myself by wiping him in that manner?

No... my spell shouldn't have that effect. It just decomposes everything down to it's most basic state. Even souls. It doesn't have a permanent effect.

“Maybe Massster hasss to try harder.”

I freeze up.

Then I look down and check my ankle, where the voice came from. “GRAAAH! YOU!” I rip Enyo from my foot and throw her onto the ground while I jump up.

*STOMP*

“Who!”

“Mass....”

*STOMP*

“Told!”

“....sster!”

*STOMP*

“You!”

“....ssst!”

*STOMP*

“To!”

“....op!”

*STOMP*

“Stay!”

“....miss!”

*STOMP*

“Alive!”

“....ssstake! Sssssss....”

Haaaa... That stupid snake! When did she even get onto me! Now that's dealt with. Time to do this right.

I kneel down again besides Enyo's remnants and start to meditate. Full concentration! I want the multiverse like it was when I left! Just with the difference that everyone is alive and healthy! Just the moment before I wiped the multiverse. All the worlds which were destroyed should be restored! And their inhabitants alive!

And there is no black hole and no Calamity! That monster simply doesn't exist. It's my universe, so no soul eating monsters.

Just imagine it! Creation!

I see a flash of light through my closed eyelids and open my eyes to see Celes lying just outside the room. She has a bewildered expression and is touching her face like not believing what just happened.

“YES!” I jump up and hop over her like a prima ballerina. Then I turn in a circle and smile while other previously dead guards and former agents of the Calamity are trying to grasp their situation like Celes.

“Bow down and worship me fools! Because -I- am the ~creator~ of the multiverse!” I see Carne on the ground while counting his fingers and touching his own body. So I kick his guts lightly while laughing.

“Get up you fool! I spoke there should be light! And therefore there is!” Then I run towards Aengus and Sharid who are hugging each other.

“Give daddy a hug too!” I hug both of them and turn two circles with them before letting go.

Suddenly Sharid's eyes fall onto Enyo's remnants inside the control room. “~Whahaha! Noooo! The family heirloom!~” She dashes forward and grabs the crushed cat-tail with the broken anal plug like a loved pet.

“No worries! I will repair her.” I call after Sharid. “Why shouldn't the creator of the multiverse be able to repair an.... Ouuuf.”

Suddenly Celes appeared before me and gave me a flying knee directly into my guts. I actually spurt out a little blood while I go to my knees.

“Hi, sugar cat! Honey bear saved the multiverse like you wanted! Shouldn't you reward me?”

I just see the after-image of an open palm and everything goes dark.

***Celes's POV***

I slapped the stupid idiot without holding anything back! Right now he is unconscious to my feet. What did he even think he was doing!?

What if it hadn't worked! And attacking meee! There clearly wasn't enough education from my part! And he killed Aengus and Sharid! Even if they are alive and well now!

“Mhmffufufufufu.... I will teach you some manners! You will learn a few ~new things~ tonight. Mwhahaha....”

Then I take a look around and realize that all eyes are fixed on me. “~There is nothing to see! Just a wife that hands out some reasonable punishment!~”

I grab Angrod at the collar and pull his unconscious body after me. I have to get out of this dampening field to use a pathway..... And then! And then!

“Mwahahaharharharhar......”

Greetings from the Author:

Wah! How can I tell this to you? Best to give it to you with the ~Sledge Hammer~!

It's the end of the planned story line. For everyone who wants the final ending. This is it! The Sharid-Side-Arc was just a little final look on what became of the multiverse after the Council was defeated.

But I somehow like this stupid fantasy of mine. I may continue with some small side stories as I get the ideas for them. There are still some characters which deserve a little more screen time.

Maybe I will map out another main-arc or start a completely new story. I have to think about it. What do you guys think?

In the end I just want to thank everyone for informing me of my grammar mistakes and for following the story for so long.

Actually it's a little sad that there are no more points on my mind map.
