"Even if you're weak, there are miracles you can seize with your hands if you fight on to the very end." - Future Diary} [Uryuu Minene]

I was inraged about him tricking me and it was still not enough he wanted to burn me? I wanted to keep raging but what he spoke next had gotten my attention somewhere else.
"Well, it would not matter if I tricked you or not at this moment because it is already too late for you to start jumping... Hmm, how would they put it in words in your world again? Oh yes, jumping carts.
I would advise you to think wisely about what to do with your time because Just like me you won't have enough soon. Perhaps using the "Suniaster" to try to awaken that construct that seems to be part of your soul?"
I stopped looking at him and looked at the so-called "Suniaster," the thing that made him One True God as he put it. When I look at it, it has the appearance of a crystal with a star in the middle and two upside-down question marks on each end of it. It was a bit hard to notice the details considering that the star has the same icy blue color as the crystal itself.
The question that was nagging me since he mentioned the Suniaster was what did it represent that even the gods would go psycho just to have a piece of it? And so I asked.
" Ah, now that you asked let me bring you up to speed. The "Suniaster" is a Conceptual Device, which gives complete power and authority to its holder. It was made so that it would only physically appear before the most powerful existence. Some would know it as the Star Cup/Star or Grail/Astral Grail.
Oh, and don't forget about The Eternal war because it was a war to win this treasure.
The war started when the other gods came up with the idea to fight using their creations to determine the One True God, however, their schemes against each other were too effective and they started dropping like flies.
"The 179 Ghosts of Imanity" fought hard but they were never seen in battle. In one of the "The 179 Ghosts of Imanity," Riku, found that The "Suniaster" was part of the cluster of circuits that make up the planet's core. Getting past the shield-like construct to reach the plant's core was not easy. It took everything he had but finally breach it, magical's were released into the world as he made his dying wish for the "Ultimate Gamer" and that was when I was born, the last weakest Old Deus, Tet. From there on I took "Suniaster" as the One True God and made his idea into reality."
The only thing going throw my mind when I heard this was a shock. The shock of getting to know what happened during "The Eternal War." The fighting between the Gods using their creations as pawns. And How someone did everything they could to make a wish that gave birth to a God.
I glimpsed at him and thought. 'The surprises keep coming one after another.'
He took a step and looked at me and spoke.
"I know you must be trying to make a sense of what I just said to you but time is of importance. As you know my soul won't last long at most one day and a half. what I can tell about your soul is that it is not a white color like almost all the people that live in your world but has light blue as its outer shell, just like me. This was the reason that I could find someone like you who met the requirements.
So we must look into your soul to see the construct that constitutes within your soul.
Now I want you to grab the "Suniaster" and hold it close to you like if you were holding a sword tip down in the ground and with both of your hands in the middle of your chest."
I was so focused on what he was saying that I wasn't paying attention to what his expression showed.
What he asked of me wasn't something hard to do, it was as simple as doing a cosplay pose. As I did I stop so that I would not make reckless motions that would not allow me to hear his next words.
POV: TET
As I saw him getting into the pose I described I thought. 'Hopefully, this would take as much as it did for him to understand "The 10 Pledges" and no less.'
Having this wave of thought I spoke out. " The "Suniaster" gives its user absolute authority, now I want you to use it and make contact with the structure in your soul that is out of reach. Now Imagine a blue flame on a match, when you have that image inside your head imagine that that stick is no longer and you're only left with a blue flame.
Now the most important part, focus hard and try to see the inner of that flame."
When I spoke out I could see that he had closed his eyes and was in a trance. It made me happy that he was not questioning what I spoke.
I see his eyebrows twitching for a small second before going back to a peaceful posture.
I set on the black square crisscrossed. It had been a few minutes. I have seen no signs of change in his state.
At this moment of thought, my face changed immediately as my instincts told me something just happened.
It was like switching day and night in an instant. As a previous God of this fragmented dimension, I could feel it. I confirm it as he opened his eyes.
Ace seemed to be acting... strange, he's acting as if he was talking to... someone?
I don't understand what he is doing as am the only being here for him to talk to. But this uncertainty, I have to ask:
"Ace are you perhaps not feeling well?" I see him staring at me like what I said didn't even matter to him right now.
He looked into the distance for about a minute then looked at me as if he was about to speak.
POV: ???
I spoke out knowing that this was a long time coming.
"Did it have to take a God for you to be able to reach me? You sure did take your time."
Scratching my nonexistent head, I sideways with a motion of disappointment as I look at the blue color hair and blue-eyed boy.
I felt him the moment he step beyond the boundaries of his imagination. Right now all I can see on his face is confusion about what is going on.
I was about to clear up any questions that he might have but he spoke interrupting my long coming monologue.
" Where are we? And who are you?"
I comprehend the situation that we're in but could not help but entertain myself as I remember a movie from our memories.
I could see his eyes flinching but I will have to stop myself right now so that we don't lose this inner world connection and our final hope.
I spoke out louder than before to make it clear that I was being serious.
" Rush Hour jokes aside, I am you, well a part of you, you could say. you can call me Eca as it is Ace spelled backward.
And the answer to where we are we are in our soul"
He gazed at me puzzled and spoke. "Is this like a mindscape that I have seen in some of the animes I watched?"
I looked at him with not so much a complicated look, I began my first and longest monologue since I was born.
"We are in our soul. To be more specific we are your inner world as you can see all around you. But no, the inner world and the mindscape are two different things.
You see, I was given consciousness by your desire for greatness when you place those big bets and lost almost all of them.
When I was given consciousness, this place didn't look like this but almost like a blank paper filled with drawings in color. I drew what a world looks like from our memories and try to find a way to get in contact with you.
As soon as I try to create something that would be able to reach you I noticed a change.
It didn't matter to me but I came to a halt because while I did create a construct out of myself I realize that what I created is akin to a door for an intern-dimensional pass and could not reach you since we are the same soul and I am part of you, not a whole soul.
In other words, it's like calling oneself when you're oneself. It did not make sense to me."
What I said I can see on his face the vivid expression, I would understand find out about a situation like this.
I materialize a body that looked just like him as he was in shock.
"You know this is your inner world right? You can bring things to life that would be impossible to do outside. It's much like the mindscape which we neither can access right now but the only difference is that it's in your soul.
And if you have gotten here it means you can come back at any time"
What I didn't expect is to get the look of not knowing the unknown as he spoke.
"So you're telling me that this is my inner world and that you Eca are like a fragment of my soul?"
"That is what I just said" I spoke out trying to calm him. And a thought pass through my mind. 'This is gonna take a while.'
