While the others were explaining what Matilda had told them, Karl noticed that Cara was in the process of sneaking away.
She had opened a portal from the Tiny World to the Chaos Plane, and vanished through with an assortment of loot from her space.
That was new. She never took her loot out of her space unless she was giving gifts.
[Karl, I need to go back to the lightning mountain.] Hawk insisted.
[Oh? Ready to face tribulation?] Karl asked.
[I need to release some old power.] Hawk agreed.
Rae looked up from her web. Silly beasts, her goddess already recognized her innate status, there was no need for her to get struck by lightning to advance. She just had to finish brewing this bath, and she would be ready.
Fermented Immortal Octopus ichor with a dash of Supreme seasoning and some Titan blood was just right.
But it took time.
Nyan looked around the room in panic. "I feel something moving in the Chaos Plane. We need to close the door."
She rushed over and slammed the door, then locked it and looked around fearfully.
"It’s still here."
"That’s the Chaos Badger. It’s fine. She’s just gone to see a guy about a thing."
"That is not comforting."
Dana laughed. "You will have to get used to that with Karl. His idea of what is fine is not the same as most people. When you spend as long as he did being virtually indestructible, you forget about threat assessments.
But if it is her that you’re feeling, then it’s not a real problem. She’s just stretching her legs, and the Chaos Plane is her home turf."
Plus, Dana could read Cara’s thoughts, and the badger was making a five-dimensional monument to something that really shouldn’t exist in any reality.
Just trying to comprehend her thoughts was giving Dana a headache, but it was giving Karl insights into Chaos. Many things were possible that didn’t seem to be until the influence of the Chaos Plane was factored in.
Then, they became both impossible and highly probable at the same time.
But more than just giving him insights into the Fundamental Rule, it was also giving Karl insights into how to rearrange his Power Matrix without greatly increasing the difficulty of creating new points.
If he moved some of them to the fifth dimension, then cloned them all into the fourth dimension, where time was malleable, he could double the number of points in his power matrix while actually decreasing the difficulty.
"So, Nyan, what does everyone do for fun here?" Karl asked, distracting the cat from her panic about Cara playing in the Chaos Plane.
"They’re really quite boring. Most of them just study and practice, or talk about studying and practicing. Then they want to know how to get money for more resources, and where they could find the resources they would like to buy.
You two seem like you’ll be more fun than that. At least you’ve got a relationship, and you didn’t devote your life to the path of the virgin cultivator."
Dana laughed. "Well, we do a lot of studying, and crafting, and such. But there is more to life than just studying." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Nyan nodded eagerly. "Did you know that there are some that don’t even eat at the cafeteria because they think that the luxury of decent food is too much distraction from their path?
How can you think that Immortality is worth it when you live like that?"
