6 The New Plane

Marcus dashed out, self regenerating slowly, his neck fibers jointed forming clean skin.

"I guess you aren't going to kill me, dark mage or should I say, James!" Marcus words drilled into dark mage heart. This time, dark mage gripped hard into his spear.

They flew above grappling the attention of many because when two powerful mages battled it was utter chaos.

"Bang!" Everything rutted into snaking winds that twirled around them, blasting each others attack, as they danced and teleported.

Cracking the air into currents that flew into many warriors, like metallic discs. They both had cuts, and rips. If they continued they will die together.

"I will wipe your karma clean Marcus!" He shouted.

He started to swirl immense energy, his stomach turning into a black hole.

The black hole started growing and growing, grappling everything into it. It was large as the clouds sucking and spinning everything.

"Whats happening!" Every one looked above, to see a giant black hole grappling some warriors feet and moving the mages souls into it.

"Your soft heart is your biggest weakness!" Marcus barked.

"Soft heart is my biggest weakness.. That comes from the words of somebody who is blinded by greed, I gave you chances when you were weak Marcus but you never learned!" He justified. His body blocked by the black hole. He was inside of this swirling energy. Getting closer to Marcus.

'sir, the whole fleet has a nuclear reactor in it!' A messenger exclaimed within Marcus mind, his face flat.

A nuclear weapon? Did star emperor really went to that length? Did betrayal blind his own life?

There was a black hole and a nuclear bomb in the fleet. He had an idea as he smiled heavily. It was very risky. It had to be precise because one wrong move and everything will end.

'Every one its okay just stay in there I will rescue you!' He telepathically communicated. He smiled. He knew this generals and mages where blinded by novelty, ending them with star emperor will make things flow like he plans.

"Let me tell you this, power is what gives structure to the universe, a soft heart will put you to the depths of hell, now let me show you the loyalty of my army!" Marcus shouted.

Marcus, started to heavily spin energy, spinning the opposite side of the black hole. If two spinning forces collided they would spin each other out.

His hands started swirling white light growing faint in comparison of the black hole. As all the mages beneath them could see Marcus faint disc of light towered by the black hole, they started to pull their hands up.

'' Every-one give energy to Marcus!" Every one on the battle-field stop battling moving their tips of their wands focusing in the white light that Marcus was swirling. Fueling and expanding energy into it. As it swirled growing with the matching size of the black hole.

"Bang!" The two swirling energies of black and white collided, bright light flashed every one blind.

Marcus flew away, cracked into a mountain of the other side. Black mage sling-ed upwards into the sky above the fleet. As it moved the fleet up into the black hole.

Dark mage knew it was his death. His last though was the memory of Marcus and him, dueling, as brothers who weren't plague by different moralities and views.

"Bang!" The ship nuclear reactor exploded. Energy blasted colliding and flattening the clouds, its noise sinking into every soul, cracking it like soft glass.

Giant swirling energy started moving up to the black hole, as massive nuclear explosions brightened the whole field, into white pure light. The mountains cut. The land without a ting of grass. As the black hole sucked the nuclear explosion.

There was no Fleet. No black mage to move the dark knights, as they could not escape either because they where cornered by the thousands of the united army.

Thousands stood clued. Not even a war cry of victory but the snaking wind that reminded every-one about the brutality of war because many lost friends, mates, comrades.

The feelings of their comrades dead. Started to bite them sneakily, eyes darting with depression. However when they though that they did not die in vain rejuvenated them.

"For united!" They screamed thousands, rising with power. Treasures and rewards abundant as they knew their riches where beyond any war the have fought.

This war, was the biggest war they had because now, they are the united, the new galactic empire.

Finley, eyes rose up by the rushing screams of the warriors. He could see the giant fleet gone. The battle field dead. They where the only survivors. His mind soiled with strength. He had no idea where he was, or what was going on. He had tears that dropped. Why was he crying? He had no idea but a heavy heart that followed.

However he could feel that he was stronger. He had memories of fighting styles, and magic cultivation of all types, memories that would take years to master. He knew that he was harvesting memories but he totally forgot who he was.

[You have over 108 users memories, organizing them within your mind] A rushing sweetness took over his mind.

He felt rushing memories sweet his mind as this sweetness rushed, he could see flashing memories of families, children, promises broken by his hand. He saw how Marcus was an evil man within the minds of the dark-knights, he destroyed their homes, their families, burning fires mixed with the rushing screams filled his mind.

This was deeply imprinted within his mind. The sense of his morality numbed by the moving wishes of the dead soldiers. He wanted to end Marcus and he needed power for that.

Marcus could be seen heavily injured. Blood within many parts of his body, he had a strong frown. However he was slowly regenerating, as his voice traveled to the whole battle field.

"Every-one, this is now the United Empire. We will build an Empire where technology and magic will co-exist, we will become the first galactic alliance. Brothers we survived a long war, we battled two armies. We lost loved one's but we will build a new generation, together we will be the ancestors of the galactic alliance!" Marcus shouted, as it drifted upon every-one and as it drifted, every one started to imagine the possibilities of magic and technology and the other life outside the universe.

"We, will build a nation of technology and magic!" He exclaimed once more.

However, the back-flash of the dragon heart started to kick him. His purple shadows grew dim. His face that was covered in purple shadows, dissolved, showing his white hair and pale skin. However every one didn't dare to question it.

"What are your plans?" The highest general in star emperor nation, exclaimed, as they all stood in the battle-field silent. After all Marcus saved every-one.

"What are my plans?" His eyes raised above the many stars that could be seen.

"Everybody here get experimenting with magic and technology because we will dominate the universe and unite everything into the United Empire" His smile invited every one and as it invited every one their hearts twirled.

Dominate the universe, bring justice. There was a power, of wanting more, to have more, to experience more because the power of raising, and bringing justice to the universe gave them a goal, one that was universal.

The feeling of them standing above the universe, with their banner, standing tall. Gave them pride.

"For united!" They screamed, this time, with true vigor and power, every one seeking to what was next.

As they screamed Marcus grew a thick smile. He was great at this. Twisting the words to move armies like puppets. His magic was in the tip of his tongue.

"Bang!" One could see a giant tower arcing towards the clouds, as if it was touching the sky. All the soldiers and mages stood struck, as it over shadowed everyone.

It shadowed over them, theirs spirits feeling delicate upon the colossal dark tower.

"What is this!" Chatter broke out. Thousands mumbling below the tower.

Marcus was utterly confused. However, it made him even more exited because he knew there was power within that tower and he wanted power!

[Every-one welcome, this is the guide system!] A voice hanged with a blue screen, every-one could see it. Their ranks, stats everything within the hanged blue screen.

...

I went into the shadow universe. How did the shadow universe looked like? It was utterly nothing. There was no object to give the sense of size, however my mind touched its edges, that matched the correspondences of the universe length and it was expanding rapidly!

It was utterly empty, making one feel as if one sense of self was lightly dissolving within this space.

The only source that filled this dark void was pure nostalgia because it was the nostalgia of the time I was born as the universe. It was where I awakened, where the infinity source exploded me (big-bang). In other words it was the womb of the universe.

Calling this dark void my mother, wasn't it odd? Yes and no. Because it stood with a silence that calmed me and as it calmed me it satisfied me, a satisfaction that laid my mind still within the void, as if it was the best place to be with and as it was the best place to be, every other places melted away.

My mind was now pure nothingness. It's emptiness somehow filled you with life, as if the whole space of the void was the hug of the person one most loved, wanting to stay in that warmth for ever. In other words it felt safe like the hug of your mother.

(Unknown force detected!) It exclaimed.

"Bang!" Everything started to vibrate the basic emotions of fear, lust ambition, compassion, courage that blossomed within this mind space started to construct things beyond my hands.

Something within me fractured. There was another plane? The universe only had the spirit plane and physical plane as the realms of magic and matter but right now the mental plane seemed to be fabricated within everything changing how the whole universe functions.

The virus! It was not a virus because it is a whole other plane within the universe that changes the dynamics of everything. What is this plane?

Just how there is a body and spirit and how the universe has the spirit world and physical world. The mental plane is born. Body, mind and spirit. Does where the bundles of the universe, just like the organism. Three realms reflecting the structure of the organism intelligence.

How did I know this? Because I knew how the mind space felt and this was a mind space that matched the size of the universe. This mind space was filled the fears and ambitions of the organisms (mages, people, etc).

Tapping into its source. Something shock me. This plane was created because of the organisms of the universe. In other words this plane was the emotions, desires, dreams, and fears, of does who walked in the physical plane. I could feel their emotions fabricating this realm to life.

That started to manifest in a physical form.

As I could see thousands of planets being filled by creatures. They where like the bug of the universes. They seem to come from the source of collective fears, ambitions, selfishness, of the organisms. This beings haunted around the mental plane, finding away to snap and spill into the physical plane because they could see it but not touch it, as if a glass divided the three realms.

Dark colossal entities, that seem to govern the mental plane stood like gods, trying to take over the physical plane. They stood, each one with their breaths to melt galaxies, their smiles that could eat space itself.

The creatures stood imprisoned in this mental plane. Some spilled trapped within colossal tower and dungeons that chained into the physical plane. Trillions of beings could see this changing everything.

This creatures shadowed in dark, they where cells of the colossal entities. In other words they did not have minds of their own. Instead they all had one mind, and that was the mind of the colossal entities. In other words this colossal entities eyes cracked through the eyes of the creatures as they could see mages and beings storming into their dungeons, studying their little souls.

Each creature where divided in 4 types, greed, fear, revenge and death. Within does four classes it branched into many into different specialty.

The colossal entities cells spilling into my cells causing friction, like a disease. They seem to be building a world similar to hell within the mental plane as it slowly crackled within the physical plane.

I had no control over this because it was the organisms mental fears that created the mental plane. In simpler words the shadows and fears of the universe was manifesting into the mental plane, as it tried to spill itself into the physical.

The only way to stop this was to end life itself.

Besides them stood other colossal creatures, of courage, compassion, justice, strength, judgement.

They gathered within the spiritual plane, like guardians balancing things. They had very low access within the physical and full access into the mental and spiritual plane. In other words they could not touch anything within the physical no matter how virtuous they where.

They stood fabricating treasures within the universe that could hunger any mage. It was artifacts that bonded to ones souls. Artifacts powerful enough to cause friction within the universe.

They seem to control the spiritual realm. As many spirits started to worship them. They where the creators of power, divine items. They took charge in the process of reincarnation.

Now, its time to see the spiritual plane and mental plane and how innate abilities will interact in the universe. I also wonder how the 'united' are going. It makes me imagine how the whole universe will turn out like.

How did cultivation worked. How did the magic system function. What was innate ability. What is this mental plane. What are this gods in this mental plane. How about the spiritual realm? It all stormed in. Like a god ready to uncover the mysterious of this universe. Finley? It seems he has one strong ability with a big draw back.

It was time to check the mental plane.
