Chapter 384: A Million Moves Ahead
—
Eurynome Celestine found herself sighing as she sat down in the soft bed that occupied this room.
The room was gorgeous, exasperatingly so, as it was filled with things of the utmost quality. It was a pretty small room, but that was to be expected because it wasn't located in a house. It was inside a moving vehicle, a spacecraft.
She was being escorted to meet the highest ranking Abstracts of the CUBE. If she wished, she could blink out of this place and back to her home in a second, but she had to attend this. It was important.
"Madam,"
After sitting in the room for about a minute, a voice called.
"We are here."
Eurynome got up, instead of replying. She walked over to the door and pushed it open. It was supposed to open in the interior of the vehicle, but using her authority she opened it to face the space outside.
An endlessly expanding cosmos presented itself before her eyes, beautiful, filled with universes, and even multiverses visible in the far sky.
Eurynome didn't spare any of that a glance. Instead, she looked ahead, where a long table made out of primordial stone was positioned, with two tall chairs presented opposite one another.
Except both the chair and the table were gigantic. She was the size of a human woman right now, and compared to that, the table was as large as a nebula. It would have been eye-boggling for any mortals, more so since the legendary golden Buddha himself was occupying one of the chairs.
Eurynome took a gentle step forward. Her feet touched the dark matter that filled the 'empty' space, and her form expanded. One moment she was the size of a human, who was confronting Neji Hado earlier, and in the next millisecond she was a gigantic deity who could crush stars under her feet.
Gently, she moved the stone chair which felt a little heavy even for herself, due to how special it was, and took a seat.
Eurynome sat opposite the golden being whose body reflected the cosmos itself, as his three heads faced three directions.
Undebatable the strongest amongst the Class-1 Abstracts, the Buddha himself.
The term "Buddha" was a concept. The human who popularized it also existed, but first, it was a concept, and then he. This being was the personification of that concept, he was the living balance, the one who maintained.
They say reality will prevail as long as the Buddha stands unharmed. Even if the Prime destroys all of the Cube, it would achieve nothing if the Buddha remains, because the Cube would reincarnate.
It felt annoying to admit, but in theory, this statue-like being might pose a threat even for herself in a battle. His Tale was quite a peculiar one, after all.
Yet, Eurynome didn't show any respect to him. Putting her hands on the table, she looked into the Buddha's three eyes that faced her.
"You know, I thought this was going to be a meeting. Yet, all the others are just hiding behind your shade like rats. Kind of shameful, don't you agree?"
To lesser eyes, she and the Buddha were the only ones present here. However, she could feel a ton of other abstracts around this plane. They were hidden, not present in their physical forms, but they were observing this, ready to chime in the meeting if they wished.
"I would have expected a few of the Class-0s to be present here in person, too. Is this how you greet me?"
Eurynome sharply asked, crossing her arms and leaning back on the chair.
