"Have you decided?" The Greater Grail asked. "What is it you want, oh outsider?"
Black looked at Justeaze and let the Ad Infinitum forcefully bring out Calm, soothing his nerves.
The Many-faced God had discussed two choices with him.
Perhaps He had so ill intentions behind suggesting the choice that Black wasn't planning to wish for.
Perhaps He had casually done him a favor, thinking of the bug that he was at this mont.
An interesting bug — from His personal collection.
Black did not know, and, for quite so ti, he wouldn't. Even AI and Lucky Intuitions couldn't fathom the Deep Ones, Old Ones, and Tilines yet. Much less needed to be said about Their intentions.
Black did know one thing, though.
This was it.
It wasn't like Kai could keep coming to the Fate Bubble and win Holy Grail Wars.
Kai's stupendous actions had ended up involving Luck, Fate, Deep One, Storyline Characters who surpass their tilines, Divine Servants, and many unknowable and inexplicable concepts. Now, the Greater Grail of this Key tiline was already equivalent to the Greater Grail of a Mirror one.
With Zelretch now knowing what kind of existences Kai could access through The Tales of Beedle the Bard, He would never let him co back to the Fate Bubble and be a participant of another Holy Grail War. It also made going to a Pillar tiline a foregone conclusion.
After elevating to the status of Nyarlathotep, the book had not only beco a Grimoire, but a mystery as well.
That's why the Deep One had failed to see it in Kai's Stats.
It wasn't like the tis when Kai had opened the book to let the 18th-floor Contestant Aphrodite read its contents during the second stage of Tournant of Worth.
Even if Zelretch could read Ancient Magical Script, He wouldn't be able to read the Grimoire's contents. That would only make Him warier of Kai—fearing what hell he could bring in a Pillar tiline, ruining the delicate balance between the Deep Ones of the Fate Bubble.
So, yeah.
This was the best he could hope for, Black knew.
And if he needed to wish for sothing anyway, then he wouldn't shy away from wishing as per an Old One's suggestions, especially if those wishes would benefit him the most.
But before going for those wishes, Black had to convince Tiline.
If She disagreed, then he would go for his initial wish, anyway.
"… Can the Deep Ones sense here?" Black asked.
Justeaze shook her head. "You are in 'Outside of the World', where ti does not exist," she replied.
Black nodded, bringing out his mysteries.
"Please connect to the Key Tiline," Nyarlathotep requested.
"Generally, the Grail cannot grant wishes in parts," Justeaze said, staring at the Outer One with four Cosmic Authorities. "But…"
The Grail's embodint turned her head to look in the direction where an Old One's authorities still lingered.
"…but I will make an exception for you," Justeaze finished.
The Grail was connected to The Root. In a way, it was The Root's extension. And The Root was even above the Deep Ones, the Akashic Backlash haunting many Bubble Entities of different Bubbles.
So, it didn't surprise Black that Justeaze had sensed Byagoona's arrival, even if He couldn't haven't co here with His true body.
In the next mont, Justeaze's body stirred, a layer of blood appearing on her entire figure.
The layer of blood assud a tall form, with no distinct facial features, but long hair and womanly curves.
The mont Tiline truly manifested, Her head snapped toward the sa direction where Byagoona had disappeared.
Black felt as if Her eyes were popping out, and only the lack of a mouth was preventing her from gasping out loud.
Suddenly, Black had another intuition that the Many-faced God had helped him with not only the suggestions, but also with His re presence.
Tiline faced Black. "… You are not just an Outer One, are you?" She mumbled before taking a deep breath. "Tell , then, Nyarlathotep. What do you want?"
"I want you…"
Blood boiled in their surroundings, Tiline's wrath shaking the entire world. "How dare you…"
"… I have a Verse Fusion Bubble."
And all the blood suddenly fell, like losing blood pressure.
"I ant no offense, my lady," Black said, burying his mysteries. "You must know the significance of an Outer One having His own Verse Fusion. The mont I fuse six more tilines into the original one, it would truly beco a Bubble. Then, all the original Tilines will rise to the status of Pillar Tilines of my Bubble."
This was sothing Harry Potter Tiline had shared with him.
All seven fused tilines would beco one grand world. Then, this world would branch into seven different tilines. And the original Tilines would then take possession of those new tilines, becoming Pillar Tilines, irrespective of their initial status.
That's why Verse Fusion held such allure for the Tilines.
In Their own Bubble, Their fate was sealed for eternity. What Black was offering Them—could be terd as a unique chance in the Multiverse—to be sothing more!
"Which other tilines do you have?" Tiline demanded.
"The original Verse Fusion is a fusion of Demon Slayer and Bleach Bubble's concepts, but the world itself is of Demon Slayer only," Black inford. "A Harry Potter Tiline has already agreed to be part of my Verse Fusion."
"That does not an anything, unless…"
"Death has agreed as well."
For the first ti, Tiline's feet shuffled. "… And the rest of the tilines?"
"I have not decided yet," Black said. "I would like to include one Bleach tiline. I am not sure of the remaining four."
For a while, Tiline remained quiet.
"… It will result in a War… a Multiversal War between Great Spider and Death…" She said after a while. "He would never let go…"
Black shrugged. "As long as you agree, I will take care of it… I am still an Outer One..."
And the silence returned.
Tiline sighed, the blood stirring around Her.
"Alright, Nyarlathotep," She agreed. "If you manage to survive Great Spider's wrath, then… I will not resist."
With that, all the blood disintegrated, Justeaze reappearing in the featureless figure's place, her questioning, impatient eyes landing on Black's smiling face.
Finally, it was ti to wish for a grand future!
