[IC] Myriad Reality

[Inimical]

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Is it named after you?

@Techspert

We were named simultaneously.

@Inimical

Please do elaborate.

Please do elaborate.

@Techspert

Where I come from, people were migratory, and children were very rare. Places and names were often named together. It was a cultural thing, with the belief of establishing a connection with the land.

@Inimical

I see. And where do you come from?

[Inimical]

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

@Techspert

Never been entirely sure. At the very least, somewhere "Outside".

@Inimical

I see. How unfortunate.

@Techspert

I will say that the first reality I ever interacted with was not this Existence. This is the third.

@Inimical

Oh?

[whizzball1]

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Because of experience. I already answered this question and do not have time to waste.

@Legend

"Experience" in what? That's a broad term.

[Disdain]

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

The robes conceal. Robyn accelerated things such that they are happening now instead of in a few months. And this place? It's home away from home, for me at least.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Also wrong. The explanation is just irrelevant, so I didn't provide him with one.

@Inimical

Oh, "things". I suppose you have plans other than kidnapping our friends, then. Please, do elaborate on these games of yours.

@whizzball1

In the destruction of Codex.

[Disdain]

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

In the destruction of Codex.

@Legend

And so by destroying these Codex in such a way, their essence is expanded upon without taking any essence like they would when killing another Codex.

@Disdain

Correct.

[whizzball1]

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Correct.

@Legend

And how did Accelerator get this "experience"? Without this, how did anyone figure out you could kill a compressed universe and by doing so expand your own Codex Essence?

@whizzball1

Because it causes a comparable effect in reference to destroying actual Codex. You also cannot simply destroy a universe; it must be compressed into a pseudo-Codex.

@Legend

What's to say this "comparable effect" can't be produced in some other way?

@whizzball1

The very structure of the feat.

@Legend

And what is that? What is it about using many living beings in compression that lets a Codex expand their essence?

@whizzball1

You are making connections where none exist. It is the compression that forms a pseudo-Codex, but pseudo-Codex can exist in other ways; you are far too acquainted with that fact, I am sure. It is the destruction of pseudo-Codex that allows Codex to become stronger.

What is a pseudo-Codex?
