Alustus screamed in genuine shock.
For the second time, his system was unable to identify the threat at hand.
His anger and annoyance boiled with each passing second, and with a growl, he barked a new order.
"What about Identifier? Can’t you use it to locate and get information on the intruder?"
Alustus asked, his voice rising with frustration.
But what the system said next was by far the most troubling, and the last thing he expected to hear.
[My Lord, the Lore Ability: Identifier is indeed powerful, as it allows me to pull any information in existence directly from the Akashic Record. However, it has its limits. We can only retrieve what the Divine Spirit of Knowledge permits]
[For some reason, the data concerning this unknown being is hidden, even from the Akashic itself. There is no trace, no entry, no meta commentary besides...
The system stopped for a moment, this was troubling as it was concerning.
But she needed to get the information out there.
[The same information I gave about Minerva’s mate]
Alustus blurted out in shock.
He snapped even louder, voice rising with frustration.
"And you just now decided to tell me this, Xindy?!"
This being, whoever or whatever it was, was dangerous, and Xindy had kept thia life or death information to herself?
But the system’s voice responded with her usual cold sass.
[My reasoning for withholding this information was simple, you were too busy fucking. So busy, in fact, you didn’t even register my first warning until after you cum. That is not my fault. You’re just too horny for your own good]
He made a guilt-stricken face at those words, then replied.
"Look, just get straight to the point next time, okay? Shit... Why the hell is that anomaly even doing here in my fucking castle?"
He asked, then began to ponder, thinking more deeply about it.
Till eventually he asked the question he wanted to asked for a while now.
"Say, Xindy... you said this being was dangerous because it’s classified as a Class X Error, right?"
[Affirmative, my lord]
"And what does Class X even mean to begin with?"
The system didn’t answer right away, as it thinks of a simple way to explain the Class Threats set be Losdeus.
It took no more than five seconds for her to reply, but she began to explain each class threath with vivid but detailed, but with simple explanations.
[There are three classes of Error My Lord]
• Class A — The error originates from the world itself. Something from the mortal side of existence is going against the natural order, it could be some small to something on a wide scale, as such it needs to be corrected.
These are the easiest to fix mind you, as Losdeus will alone corrects the fault.
• Class R — A large-scale divine error: So far, there are six known class R cases. One for example was when Merlin corrupted the Divine Spirit of Boundaries using the authority granted by Chaos to make it do, what she wanted.
This made it possible for people of this world to cross into other Fruits, which are alternate 3rd-dimensional realities through special mirrors, doors, cracks, or shadows that exist in our world. Creating the World Crack Phenomenon, that no can solve. Normally, this would be impossible due to the fact that you need Yggdrasil’s Blessing.
However Errors are basically changes to existence done by the highest levels of the Divine, as such they are considered administrative changes to existence itself, regardless of there positive or negative effects.
• Class X — The most dangerous Error class of all. If someone or something is labeled with this, it means they’re from the outside, as in, they do not belong to this story at all.
Normally, if a being crossed over from another story reality managed by Losdeus, it would be Class A. Also known as a fixable error.
But this... this is the first time we’ve seen a Class X case, as such, this thing is the reason it even exist, as there was originally only two threath classes.
From the info being shown, this thing forced their way into this narrative from somewhere else.
Or so it goes, as that what Losdeus has the info classified as within the Akashic. But the only reason it is labeled as Class-X is because Losdeus can’t fixed it.
That’s what it means to be a Class X. The God of Existence could do anything it wants, yet it can’t purge this anomaly, as such it had no choice but to allow it entry and treat it like one of it’s subjects.
The information was delivered carefully.
And Alustus understand what he was dealing with, it was not a favourable scenario, but one he must act upon.
For that reason he asked.
"...So you’re telling me the only reason that thing is even here is because not even Losdeus can get rid of it?"
[That is correct, my lord. The entity is considered an irreversible intrusion, one that defies systemic deletion. It exists outside the parameters of correction]
"Tch... That is just fucking great. A cosmic glitch Losdeus himself couldn’t debug. What a useless fucking god, what kind of god can’t even manage his own universe properly."
[My lord, whether you like it or not, the anomaly is now part of the narrative. It doesn’t really change anything if you complain, luckily it seems to inhabiting a player avatars of sorts, so getting physical with it is possible]
"...So what the hell am I supposed to do then, huh?! Wait for it to kill me?"
Alustus asked his frustration was steadily rising at this juncture his hair will turn white from all the stress.
And his system was not making this easy for him at all.
Her replies are all suicide actions.
[The way I see it my Lord, you have two options]
[Option A: Attempt to establish a peaceful connection. Seek cooperation. Treat it as a potential high-level neutral or ally]
"...Yeah, because that always works with god-like anomalies."
[Option B: Destroy it.
"...Of course. Kill it or befriend it. Real original, if the Voice of the World couldn’t do shit, what makes you think I can?"
[Neither path guarantees success. I repeat, no result is assured]
[Then you die. Along with everything you’ve built]
[You should choose soon. The anomaly is aware of your presence. Although getting up close in phsycial with it might be the only, option, I can sense it bloodlust towards you]
Alustus stoop for a moment, the question he asked was about to be a stupid one, but given the weird turn of events might just be a valid one.
"Do you think it knows I am after Minerva."
[...I don’t know, but Minerva had pass here multiple times. For all we know she sent him here to destroy us, Monster Lords are ruthless beings like that. If we are lucky maybe a direct recruitment, but I highly doubt that is the case here]
"So it’s fight or die, huh? Hah... how frustrating. How utterly, infuriatingly frustrating!"
Alustus eyes began to twitched in that very moment, his aura flaring out so much the entire room began to shake
His voice was trembling with restrained fury as he stood, or rather float from his throne, fists clenched so tight his knuckles cracked.
"After everything I’ve clawed, crushed, and fucked my way through to stand where I am."
"I refuse to let some unknown eldritch abomination upend my goddamn story, I am the MC of this world, you hear me you bastard, I won’tet you take all that I have work for you third rate cliche seinen fuck."
He hissed out the next words like venom, a low growl building in his throat.
"Like hell I’m gonna let some glitched-out freak of reality get the better of me...
"Fucking cunt. You want war?"
"Fine. Then I’ll give you fucking war."
Albedo began to tremble in fear, while the other Sidhe that passed the throne room began to run away, scared for their lives.
While other where pissed off that something or someone made their king mad.
"Who made the king mad, blood and fire to their bloodline."
"Purge, purge, purge."
"The king said war, does this mean we are going to have another war, yayyy more bloodshed, more violence, I am going to inform my brother about this. Death to all who denies the king rule."
Their chants could be heard from the room, but Alustus was too pissed off to care, but as the Sidhe goes on with their own rampage.
They soon stop when they hear a voice.
"Oh my, you guys seem excited, has someone pissed my husband off?"
The words came from a tentacle like monster girl, she walked, or rather slither in, and the other Sidhe flew to her.
"Queen Alcey, Queen Alcey."
"Hehehe... Yes yes children, it is I your queen, tell me what happen, I sense my beloved corruption all the way from the execution halls."
The Sidhe all looked at each other as they began to explain what they saw, and soon she smiled and said.
"I see... Xindy must have told him something that pissed him off, very well children, you can go now, let me talk to the king in private."
"Or course my queen."
One Sidhe said, as he flew off.
While another female one said.
"Let’s go guys, the queen orders are absolute."
With that the other Sidhe followed behind the female one, or they went their own way.
Either way Alcey made her way to the throne room where Alustus was fuming as she looked at her beloved from the door and said.
"And what seem to have irk you so hmm Al?"
Alustus calm down as he turned to the door, and said.
