Cherreads

Chapter 66 - Ch 66 (Starfall Waterfall)

..Sho and Kai arrive at the area where Stark's building is located, only for Sho to be shocked when he sees rubble everywhere, while beneath his feet he sees debris from the huge sign that had been at the top of the building under his feet, which makes him tense [Could something have happened to them? But I do not see any bodies].

Kai also feels sad as he looks beside him in every direction, where he sees countless corpses, then looks toward Sho and says:

"This thing is similar to what the Charred Council members were doing in the traitors"

Sho stands in silence while thinking [Where could they have gone?] Then Sho moves closer and closer to see a small, nearly destroyed sphere, and he kicks it with his foot. Suddenly a message in Stark's form comes out saying:

"I hope you are well, Sherlock. We left this place completely." Then he sighs a little while Stark appears frightened and continues, while terror shows on his face and the chairs around him tremble, saying:

"We left there because extremely huge strange entities are destroying everything and we can never stand before them, and Thor also disappeared. I wish you were reading this message. We are fine, and at the Starfall at the farthest end of the End Continent, at the borders of the Kingdom of Water in the Northern Continent, you will find us in a small hut there"

The message disappears completely, and Sho stands and looks toward Kai, who heard everything, then says:

"We must go to the Starfall now. I fear that the Sleepers there may attack them"

Kai agrees, and then they head toward the blue star waterfall at the farthest end of the End Continent.

And on the other side, at the defenders' team, the hut trembles slightly while everyone falls silent, then Natasha whispers in a low voice and says:

"Roger, stay here. I will see what is happening outside"

Roger feels a bit tense and nods in agreement for Natasha to leave the room, while Acolyps feels terror and says in a low voice:

"Those footsteps, this suffocating feeling, they are outside, they can smell fear, and if they wanted to, they would swallow this world completely with just one dream!"

Natasha heads to one of the windows to look through it at the ground floor of the two-story hut to see Stark standing and looking shocked, while beside him Rogers sits on the ground and appears to be in a state of readiness. Natasha comes and stands beside Stark, who whispers, saying:

"My God, he sees them as mere water or even less. We must not make any sound. They are entities that cannot see, as far as I know"

Natasha looks extremely shocked, as the giant entity is kneeling on its knees, its eyes huge and hollow, with only absolute void where its eyes should be. It takes a large sip from the water of the blue star waterfall, which, if ordinary transcenders merely touch it, they would be erased from existence.

Natasha speaks while her pupils widen and says:

"He is drinking so simply. He really is a monster!"

Suddenly the Sleeper looks toward the house, so Natasha quickly pulls her head back and her spiritual heart pounds rapidly, and she feels that he is looking inside her, not with spiritual sight but with existential sight. She feels that he is looking toward what she is and what she has always been, looking into her essence.!

Then the Sleeper pulls his head away, and Natasha exhales and breathes with difficulty, and everyone sits in silence hoping that this entity will leave from here.

And night began to come, revealing the lights of the blue star waterfall in indescribable beauty, then suddenly the Sleeper stops moving completely and goes into dreams while the black moon in the sky is still present.!

Everyone sighs while Natasha speaks and says:

"He has slept very well. It is impossible for him to leave the dream until the dream ends completely. We can try to go out and escape from here." At that moment Roger comes down beside Acolyps on the stairs while it is now 9 p.m., and while the entire world, all layers of the world of demigods, are in a state of danger as they are being destroyed, Acolyps speaks and says:

"This is the best possible time. These entities never awaken except when their own dream ends, after which it turns into another reality in lower worlds." Acolyps thinks for a moment and feels the terror of that idea [Or it could make this dream real in this world through the flow of its energy inside it!]

Then Rogers speaks and says:

"I do not feel anything bad from you. You seem to be an honest person. I feel that you can be trusted." Then everyone looks toward Stark. Rogers continues and says:

"Well then, what should we do now? Do we flee?"

Stark tries to calm everyone down, then speaks and says:

"We will not flee. I left a message for Sherlock in the hope that he would come here"

Acolyps is surprised and says as his eyebrows lower and he looks astonished and confused:

"Sherlock? Sherlock himself from the Seer path?"

Everyone is surprised, then Stark speaks and approaches Acolyps and says:

"Do you know Sherlock? Where is he? And is he okay?"

Acolyps becomes tense while Rogers looks toward him, then Acolyps speaks and says:

"I do not know. I hope he is fine [I hope he escaped from this Sleeper. I will trust your words, Braeet, and I will try to calm down]"

Then Rogers speaks in surprise and says:

"So you are also a friend of Sherlock?"

Acolyps replies affirming Rogers's words, then Rogers continues saying:

"Then since you are friends and you were together, why did you transfer and he did not?"

Acolyps replies and says:

"As I said, I was fleeing from one of the entities that resembles the entity outside, but smaller, and it disappeared and I could not find it."

Everyone falls silent for a moment, and an idea comes to Roger's mind, and he speaks saying:

"We can take a sample of the blue star waterfall water using a specific bottle, and through this water we can make an extremely strong barrier that protects this place from any danger, since it possesses absolute hardness, and even the Sleeper himself will not be able to breach it. Just one point is enough to reproduce itself endlessly. So, is there a volunteer?"

..Stark is surprised by the idea and says in amazement:

"Through infinite divisive evolution, right?"

Roger responds with a slight smile and says:

"Yes, through it the number of blue stars can increase, since a single star with infinite hardness will reproduce by itself through a sample of water, and one star in that water"

Stark supports Roger's idea, then everyone thinks for a moment and then suddenly.

Everyone looks toward Acolyps since he is the most knowledgeable person regarding the Sleepers, so he sighs and says:

"No problem, I will do it myself"

Acolyps goes out while everyone watches him from inside, holding the bottle and walking toward the extremely calm waterfall. Acolyps is amazed by the beauty of the waterfall, where tiny blue stars of literally infinite number swim in an endless sea that resembles blue space [Although I am a scholar too, I do not know anything about these worlds. I am only an expert in the back rooms. Here I am like a child born for the first time, where everything is new].

Natasha whispers from inside the hut and says to the rest of the team, who are looking through the glass:

"Why is he standing there and not moving?"

Then Stark continues and says:

"It seems that he is amazed by the beauty of the river, but this is not the right time for that!"

And while Acolyps looks at the beautiful river extending to infinity, he speaks in a low voice while smiling slightly and says:

"God is not evil. This beauty is not evil. Although danger is beside me and beauty is in front of me, in the end the world has nothing to do with it. All of this was in front of me from the beginning. The world is closer to a nucleus, where nature is the neutrons with neutral charge, where there is no good, no evil, no morality, absolute endless neutrality. The conscious entities in this world are the ones who determine what it becomes, whether to become positive protons and make the world better, or become negative electrons and make it worse"

[God did not create evil in the world, but rather made it so that we conscious entities, with our own hands, make it better or worse. It is foolish to blame God for the evil in the world, for the conscious entities are the ones who have freedom of choice].

Acolyps smiles as if he has reached something he had wanted to reach for a long time, something that was supposed to touch his head long ago, since he was looking toward the back rooms in his private room at night in front of his device, remembering his words:

"Does God create this evil? I do not think so. I am afraid"

[God gave us freedom, and evil stems from our misuse of that freedom].

Natasha speaks while feeling a little angry and says:

"I will call him from the window"

And while Natasha is about to open the window, Roger speaks and holds Natasha's hand and says:

"Wait a little. The most important thing is not to make a loud sound. We do not want the entity to wake up even if the chance of that is almost nonexistent"

Acolyps stops thinking and focuses on the task, creating an illusion in the shape of a handle and placing the bottle in the water, which makes a sound like the movement of pearl chains, then Acolyps takes the water that contains one star and heads toward the hut slowly without raising his voice, as a butterfly passes in front of him and lands on his nose, a beautiful butterfly whose color resembles the blue star waterfall.

Acolyps smiles like a child and whispers, saying:

"Hello, little one. Nice to meet you"

The butterfly moves on his nose while he cannot see well, so he puts on his glasses, only to be extremely surprised and move the butterfly away from him [No, I am allergic to butterflies. This will cause sneezing!].

Then suddenly his nose turns red and he sneezes loudly.!

Then suddenly the Sleeper's hand moves slightly, and Acolyps is surprised and stops moving instantly while everyone inside the hut becomes angry, then Natasha speaks and says:

"What is this by the Creator? Is he allergic to butterflies!"
