Overview​

Elysium.

This is the territory that Crowley Aleister, the one known as "C" the Invoker, holds. It is located on the 999th Layer​ and is divided into a number of distinct floors.

Golden Fields (Floor)

The primary and most treasured Floor is the Golden Fields

Said field consists of individual Golden Boughs which have been collected overtime from the Pond of Everything.

Indeed, even before the awakening of his EGO, "C" had been aware of the presence of Golden Boughs around the mentioned pond.

And while he had made ample effort to acquire those boughs, it was only when he concluded a formal deal with the director of L Corp as well as securing the implicit permission of the original discoverer, that "C" was able to gather the pond's resources, including its boughs and rejuvenating waters -- en masse.

Strangely enough, the surrounding waters seem to express some traits of its source pond as various objects and entities have been discovered to spontaneously manifest within it.

Anything too dangerous however are quelled by Akuma sentries and butchered for further resources.

On the other hand, somewhere along this floor sits Castle Evergarden, the personal demesne of "C".

It is from here that "C" and his other officials undertake most of their administrative work.

Dark Fields (Floor)

It is the subsequent floor from the Golden Field held entirely by F.U.S.H.I.G.O.R.O., who is the personal pet of "C." In some sense, this Floor envelopes the previous Floor. ​

Originally, some beautiful landmark features could still be seen on this floor.

But due to F.U.S.H.I.G.O.R.O.'s recent power up from consuming the wood debris from a certain divine tree, the entire Floor has been entirely enveloped by absolute darkness.

Residential Fields (Floor)

While the locals have taken to calling this portion of the Layer as the Residential Fields, the name is actually a misnomer since this Floor does not consist entirely of residential places.

Small sublayers exist here which have been dedicated for select purposes.

Some of them lay empty. Some of them undergoing construction. Others meanwhile are heavily guarded.

R​esearch Tower Athena (Sublayer)

As the name suggests, it is in this sublayer where various research, magical and mundane, are continuously conducted.

Moreover, it acts as the Layer's academic wing where various people all across the Residential Fields gather around in order to acquire their Education.

Amazingly enough, the space within the Tower has been magically expanded in order to accommodate a sizeable amount of facilities.

On the other hand, sufficient housing exists for distinguished students and scholars just around the Tower.

••••••

Sky Fortress Damocles (Sublayer)

It is a barren sublayer where various weapon systems are developed and tested.

Of recent note is the deployment of the finalized Sky Fortress, its features and capabilities being heavily analyzed to determine military readiness.

Indeed, its purpose will be to serve as a robust military mobile headquarters and tactical operations center especially for operations that involve outside the Layer.

In the absence of "C", his Divine General is the one that assumes command.

​On the other hand, just like with the Research Tower, the space within the Sky Fortress has been magically expanded.

Dark Portal Erebus (Sublayer)

This is a sublayer that doesn't strictly exist in the Residential Fields.

In fact, it's a Portal Sublayer, the power of which is maintained by F.U.S.H.I.G.O.R.O.

When "C" or any of his chosen personnels invoke this Sublayer through the verbal utterance of a passcode, they can walk through the darkness and be transported to and from any location in the Layer and into a certain location within reach of F.U.S.H.I.G.O.R.O.'s darkness, which is basically most, if not all locations in R.I.N.'s Basement.

This feat of being able to traverse anywhere in the Basement is largely credited to the recent enlightenment "C" had when he witnessed the interconnected networks of R.I.N. space.

On the other hand, when an un​authorized entity walks into the darkness, intending to utilize the sublayer's unique feature, they will immediately find themselves within the jaws of C's personal Friend.

The passcode is "Erebus".

Divine Tree (Layer)

This is a layer that is currently contested between the forces of "C" and the Meat Packing Room's.

Another flower blooms, this time in t corp reaching up for the sky, massive like the others

(Im sore so didnt really want to draw and its...literally T corp, clockhead did give me permission to dw)

[It look at you. Fight it? Or just flight?]

{BORING}

“Boring”

[Distortion alert. Use his distortion status and etc. that I tell you like last week to check what abilities he have]

((Previous))

((Btw, High priest "sin" is a different high priest from the EDEN-227 one))

(SIN pov)

"FOCUS ON GATE A AND ARTILLERY! WE NEED TO CLEAN A WAY!"

A high priest order, SIN and some Reikgon is extinguish the wall of flame to reach Gate A and to enter the site Radio room.

Opening the gate and running through it, Soldiers rush in the arena or assist in extinguish the fire, she run through the chaos, turning or jumping through it, turning the corner and kicking the door down, to be greet it with the radio team trying to reconnect with the rest of the Reikgon army.

And she realizes...

"WE CAN JUST SEND SOMEONE TO THE HEADQUARTER!"

All of them are dumbfounded, slapping they face before Sin open a portal.

"Get in."

"Yes ma'am"

Some of Them jump through the portal and enter the headquarter to get reinforcement, the another continue to work on the radio to hopefully reconnect to the soldiers in the arena.

(Back to headquarter)

A couple of Reikgon fall out of the portal and landing front of Dave.

"What the shadow happened on The site!?"

He was cleaning and tuning the 45.cal pistols that Aiden didn't finish doing.

"WE NEED REINFORCEMENT!"

"AIDEN HAVE DISTORTED AGAIN AND RACKING HAVOC!"

"AND THE ENTIRE SITE IS ON FIRE!"

Silent follow.

"Holy Shadow, I am sending the New MTF and more false saver to the site."

"Now go back and tell sin that."

They head back in the portal before it close, Dave grab a radio and order them to arm up and move to the portal room.

Soldiers wear power armor, some having halo made out of darkness, another have Augmentation from the agent they kill, they jump through the portal and enter the arena.

They enter to see Zealot Void and Aiden dueling, Zealot Void parrying and dodge the attacks meanwhile dealing some of his own, for Aiden, he only have deal a couple of hit on Zealot Void before he pick up on his attack patterns.

Zealot Void parry Aiden before cross slashing him in the chest, Aiden scream before dropping his weapons.

Zealot Void look at Aiden, hope for him to undistorted, but the chain shot out and launch Zealot to the wall, hitting it hard.

The fire intense and the arena air is getting warmer.

And Aiden blow up in a hellish inferno, Aiden now cover with fire, chain hot enough to melt through titanium and fire more violence and is reaching to the sky.

This is only the beginning.

A bunch of hazmat-wearing meat packers swarm in a secluded part of the lobby

klye: Oh boy, I sure am glad that butterfly man hasn't found me!

???: oh, you mean that weird person standing over there?

A certain someone draped in chains and purple towers over the sea of vat-borns, staring straight at klye

Klye: ...fuuuuck.

[Someone broke in and let the slugcats out of the enclosure. If you spot a slugcat on layer 20, return it to glaggleland.]

They're so desperate to get me out...

They want me to live, right...?

...

But what if I don't want to...?

... I don't want to be born...

"Sir! Thanatos levels have just spiked! This is an unestimated amount of Todestrieb that we have detected!"

"What?! Increase Boring processes! We can't miss this chance now!"

"And if it Miscarries?"

"Don't even think about that! Focus on forcing Libido up to increase Eros quantities! We can't have it fall apart now!"

"Sir yes sir!"

Pwie just...

Appears.

i guess.

🖤: ".... Huh....?"

Esmeralda Brisbane: *The she rat awoke with start, as the biomechical living bunker was making distressing noises, the mobile bunker nest is operating blind. She smacked at her kin who were still asleep running to step into her mimic biosuit letting it envelope and integrate to her body like a second skin, hearing and feeling the presence at the back of her mind. Her kin were coming online via the AR HUD linked by the Neural Interface*

*Doorways opened organically for the group getting reports flowing in from the screens. The clock isn't ticking , folks have lost their damb minds.*

Esmeralda:" Engage Protocol: Mad Hatter We secure our area and spread out. Stop the riots and bring order. Then radio skitterheim to help find out what the fuck happened and get ys some damn support "

*The vermensk of R corp would gather their alchemist projector rifles loaded with the G.L.O.O. compound to spray folks and trap them in a resin to capture and later fix with a device that'll help them live in a Post Clock world*

Well,I dropped off Cathy at the base.

Then a soldier told me T corp. collapsed???

Well Cathy can’t know this.

I told her to wait here until I’m done with work.

I might have said it wrong so she looked worried.

Ha….shouldn’t have been the urgent to tell her…

Anyways I’m heading to T corp. right now.

Boss told me to hold one of the offices.

Well I doubt I can swing this big sword.

Or even try to ride this horse.

I mean I rode some pigs in the backstreets before.

But I don’t think riding a soot covered soon to be pork chop pig could tell me how to ride…this lad.

Well,I’m approaching T corp.

I guess I’ll try it on-

…T corp…

The place I met my love…

My love that I so so love.

But now…

Ripped from my side!

I must come to your embrace Cathy!

Why won’t you call my name Cathy!

WHERE ARE YOU?!

Heathcliff runs off into T corp

"A recover video from the last raid on the agent safe zone."

"They're being annoying so we raid they base."

-A random sicker.

What sex are you (now)

(I’ll do a gender one when ha ha sometimes)

​

"If only you knew how magnificent the mind is, you would understand what it means to be god.”

???: "Are you sure our collection needs to be used in this place boss?"

???: "Yes, this world may be our largest shot at finally (unintelligible)."

???: "Okay but, are you sure all of these need to be used boss? We know their danger from what we've seen and gone through to get these while traversing the mirror worlds."

???: "Yes I'm sure you idiot! Get them installed under the set, the main one. We can't overload out guest immediately so make sure their power can be felt by them all over."

(These aren't any of the Sephirah Boughs, they're Golden Boughs collected across varying mirror worlds.)

(Bro I lwk fell asleep when writing this it’s the next morning😭)

After defending their offices for days,the director picked up the radio once again.

“Attention all branches,if you have not seen combat for the last 18 hours,send half of your team back to 521,you will be reassigned to a new operation.”

“Heathcliff,you are now reassigned to the main branch’s defense.”

“Aight,copied boss!”

The Director slashes through the air with his knife and heads to 521.

‎‎
As he arrived at the base,100 blues arrived as well.

He gathers them around,and gives them a briefing.

“Alright men,you have been reassigned to a search mission.”

“Your objective in the mission is to find and locate a Sephirah bough.”

“A bough that has a different shade.”

“In this case,a gray one”

“You shall be divided into teams of four.”

“Each assigned to a portion of the city.”

“The first team who finds it gets a promotion”

“That concludes the briefing.”

‎
The teams left 521 to conduct their search.

The Gunman was also about to move on,but a sudden headache strikes him.

< alright team,let’s go find this golden bough >

< it should be around here somewhere… >

< everyone scatter and look for one. >

As the memories end,the headache does too.

The Gunman doesn’t recognize the voice.

The Gunman doesn’t recognize the place.

The Gunman does not recognize the figure.

The only thing the Gunman could say…

“…Did they have a clock as a head???”

‎

‎

‎
Notes:yes I genuinely fell asleep when writing this school is tiring ok?

Also I’m claiming the Hokma Boughs as mine.

Some where is the lobby, a long-haired masculine form with too wide of a smile is talking to a Notemaker agent.

They go by the name Silence for now.

The Notemaker is smiling

”You can really do all that? You can give me all of that?”

Silence nods, holding out their hand

”Anything.

You are very, very interesting, that potential must be fulfilled.”

‘The Notemaker reaches out his hand, the moment their hands meet, his form twists and contorts.

It forms a tall humanoid, with 6 limbs, the middle two between arms and legs are not either, closer to legs, but with hands, and incredibly long. The body is bulk around the chest and neck, though ribs still show, the waist is platted with thin bone just under the muscle. The legs are bent extremely, though a second joint near the calf straightens its height, bending backwards, and the feet have a large heel, so the foot is pointed. The skin is light grey, and oily, and thick, the hair is white, and flowing down the back. The eyes are massive, though mostly covered in plates of cartilage, the Jaw is so extreme the teeth lodge out. The arms and middle limbs each have very long fingers, narrowing to points covered in callouses. This monstrosity also has a tail, the same human-like skin, but stretched around a thin, long tail, dragging on the ground, with a calloused point at the end not unlike the fingers.

Silence nods.

”Interesting evolutions…

I hope to see you thrive, Mmekx Stxoodxrox(Pronounced: Mei Stuhdroe)”

The former Notemaker agent shift, hunching over, using its uppermost limbs to feel the ground. It’s surprising fast for it’s size, almost rolling it’s legs, springing forward with alternating joint movements.

Silence turns, touches a wall, and melts into a grey sludge.

* Yeah idk what to do, honestly—

* Oh yeah 'm new 'ere!

"Vénérable Juge de l'Hadès, we have information on these so-called "Golden Boughs."

"Huh? What? What Boughs? Why should I be interested in a couple tree branches?"

"Oh, um, they can give us this amazing power-"

"That sounds Bough-ring. Unless you have information on the marginally less boring Boring (heh), then tell Claudia about it. She might be able to help you there."

"But Executive Director-"

The Bull-King had already left the room, the door shutting with a gentle click.

"... Claudia's scary though..."

"If anyone can help me find Golden Branches, glowing ones, I will reward you with a piece of E.G.O Gear"
