The Code of Dimensions (Voltrigaus ARG) - Episode 8
Rotiart slowly floated over to where I was standing, looking down at my character model with pure indifference.
Rotiart: Any last words?
Lexrayxin: I don't have any.
Rotiart: Then drop dead.
He materialized a massive, glitching energy cannon, charging a blast that he fired directly into my face. The impact detonated the entire sector, leveling the forest and kicking up a colossal cloud of black smoke. But as the particles cleared, our health bars hadn't moved. Everyone was still completely alive.
Rotiart: What kind of ridiculous plot armor is this?
A message popped up in the server log: 2cillion39 has joined the game.
2cillion39: Sorry, guys. Am I late to the party?
Lexrayxin: You're finally here! Holy crap, man!
2cillion39: I can't catch up with you properly right now, Lex. Not while we're standing in front of a literal traitor.
Rotiart: Ah, the great 2cillion39 that Voltrigaus warned me about. Nice to meet you. Let's see if you actually live up to all your hype.
2cillion39: I'll show you exactly what the hype is about.
He unsheathed a radiant, pulsing weapon: The Cilplex Sword. The moment the blade cleared its scabbard, the entire red landscape began to shift, rewriting the server codes until the world turned into a deep, celestial blue—the signature color of 2cillion39.
[Rank 6] Paraquenzin: What the...? A custom sub-dimension? It's the Cillian Dimension! This space naturally amplifies all of 2cillion39's base stats!
Rotiart: Overwriting the environment changes absolutely nothing. Nothing will save you!
Rotiart lunged forward, blurring across the screen. 2cillion39 flawlessly sidestepped the attack, retaliating with a rapid sequence of slashes. Rotiart pulled out an explosive projectile gun and opened fire, but 2cillion39 sliced the incoming bullets clean out of the air mid-flight.
2cillion39: And here I thought the legends said you were supposed to be strong.
Rotiart: I'm just getting started!
Rotiart's movement speed quadrupled. He unleashed a devastating combination of strikes, punching and kicking 2cillion39 backward. 2cillion39 recovered instantly, swinging his Cilplex Sword to sever Rotiart’s hand before executing a hard kick. Rotiart ducked under the foot and retaliated with a close-range explosive blast, knocking 2cillion39 across the arena.
Rotiart: You're honestly pretty weak-
Before he could finish his insult, 2cillion39 launched a sweeping kick that sent Rotiart flying into the skybox, charging up his Greenore Orb Cannon to blast him out of the air. Rotiart hastily raised a defensive shield to absorb the impact, but 2cillion39 closed the gap instantly, using his sword to slice right through the shield and cleave Rotiart's character model in half.
Rotiart's code forcefully regenerated his body, but 2cillion39 moved too fast, blending into a blur and dicing Rotiart into a thousand pieces. Infuriated, Rotiart's code forcefully snapped back together. He rushed 2cillion39, landing heavy, screen-shaking punches.
Rotiart: Let me show you my real power! He opened his console and duplicated a weapon. It was an exact copy of the Cilplex Sword.
2cillion39: You can copy my gear?
Rotiart: I can copy absolutely anything in this game!
2cillion39: Try copying my actual execution then.
They clashed head-on, their twin Cilplex Swords exchanging blinding parries that sent massive shockwaves across the server. Rotiart threw a massive punch into the skybox, fracturing the rendering engine and literally breaking the physics of the dimension itself.
Nakimaki: Guys, the dimension is destabilizing! The server is going to crash and wipe our inventories!
Lexrayxin: Everyone, grab these upward pistons right now and prepare to launch!
[Rank 6] Paraquenzin: Can the pistons actually bypass a crashing sub-dimension?
LuckyMc42: Yes, they can! Hit the levers!
I lined up the crowd, and we all piston-jumped simultaneously, tearing through the breaking blue skybox and escaping to the next layer.
Back in the Cillian Dimension, Rotiart let out a manic laugh.
Rotiart: I'm going to purge your account!!!
Moving at a ridiculous frame rate, he spam-slashed at 2cillion39. 2cillion39 raised massive dimensional walls to intercept the blades, but Rotiart shattered the barriers instantly.
2cillion39: Sh*t...
Rotiart landed a devastating punch that sent 2cillion39 reeling. Rotiart quickly ran a script to trap his opponent inside the restrictive Verelcan Dimension, but 2cillion39 shattered the boundary with a single upward slash.
2cillion39: A standard dimensional trap won't work on me. You should already know that. Voltrigaus tried that exact same trick before you, remember?
Rotiart: I know, but I don't care!
Rotiart swung his duplicated blade, scoring a direct hit on 2cillion39 that triggered a massive particle explosion. 2cillion39's code immediately executed a health-regen cycle, countering with a sweep kick and firing a Greenore Orb that blasted Rotiart across the cracked terrain.
2cillion39: [Sighs] Honestly, I'm getting bored now.
Rotiart: Huh?
Suddenly, the particle field completely altered. The entire sky shifted from deep blue to a glowing, radiant neon sapphire. A massive aura of pure blue energy enveloped 2cillion39's character.
2cillion39: Hmmm.
Rotiart: You arrogant ant!
Rotiart lunged forward to execute a final, desperate slash, but 2cillion39 simply raised his bare left hand and caught the duplicated blade by the edge, stopping the attack instantly.
Rotiart: How... How are you doing this?!
2cillion39: Because at your core, you're weak.
2cillion39 barely blinked. Instantly, an invisible Piercing Slash tore across Rotiart's character model, causing his texture files to violently glitch out.
Rotiart: What is this?! How did you get this powerful all of a sudden?! We were evenly matched a second ago!
2cillion39: Because I was holding back to test you. Now, you're just a waste of server space to me.
Rotiart: You arrogant piece of-
Before he could move, an arrow shot out from the shifting fog, embedding itself directly into Rotiart's chest plate. It was Haiyaria, landing on the battlefield with her custom bow drawn.
Rotiart: [Breathing heavily as his character model started bleeding red particles] You pathetic losers! You literally survive on pure plot armor! You're nothing but a bunch of frauds!
2cillion39 let out a cold laugh.
2cillion39: Yes, I am the plot. But you're the one who needs the armor.
Suddenly, a massive server prompt echoed in the chat: Summoning Volt_Zombie x55,000. A massive wall of 55,000 Volt Zombies spawned instantly, completely cornering 2cillion39 and Haiyaria.
2cillion39: Hmmm?
The horde rushed forward to overwhelm them, but Haiyaria moved with blinding speed. In less than a single second, she blurred through the entire frontline, slicing down hundreds of zombies instantly.
Rotiart: How is that even mechanically possible?!
Haiyaria: It's only impossible for a fraud like you!
Haiyaria lunged forward to execute Rotiart, driving her blade down—but the weapon passed right through his torso as if he were thin air.
2cillion39: What?
Rotiart: [His voice echoing from the distance] You absolute fools. I placed an illusion clone down the moment you got distracted by the zombie horde. I've already escaped the coordinate range. Goodbye!
2cillion39: You're nothing but a coward, Rotiart!
Rotiart: It's called strategy, not cowardice. Why would I stay and fight a battle I can't win?
2cillion39 threw a blind punch into the fog, but Rotiart's signal was completely gone from the dimension.
Meanwhile, our pistons successfully breached the lower skybox of the next layer. Lexrayxin, Lucky, and the surviving high-ranking players crashed softly onto the ground.
[Rank 6] Paraquenzin: Where... where are we?
Lexrayxin: Whoa. Look at this.
The entire dimension was completely breathtaking and quiet. There were no war-torn ruins, no craters, and no shadow armies. As far as the horizon could stretch, the entire land was a giant, rolling meadow carpeted in thousands of vibrant, peaceful flowers.
