Chapter 35: The End Of The Infinityverse

Date: Infinityverse Days 1343-1395

We must have walked for hours before anything major happened. On the way, we talked amongst ourselves. I speak first: "You know, I really am not worried about whatever Notte and Rano might try. Let's be real here. Their greatest tactic just won't work on us at this point. The final boss tried to reduce our stats to 0. We are up against a system that won't allow something that has failed in the past to be employed again. It has less tolerance for that than it did in the other Aincrad. From Koharu and the other's recollections and what we've seen from the system in this game, we know that to be very much true. Moving on.. Okay, I just completely lost my train of thought. Well crap. Okay. Let's see.. I got it now. Things have become more chill I guess. If this chapter in our lives ends in a more chill way than an action packed way, I'm all for it. Nice change of pace if you ask me. Especially because of all the hard work we've been putting into getting out of this game for nearly the past 4 years." The discussion remains along those lines for a while. We reflect about everything that has happened since Day 1 of this game up to now. That sort of thing. The first major thing that happened was finding a mysterious and strange structure. "That is not natural. This is not a structure that just generates in the Nether. Someone built this place." We searched the structure but found nothing in it no matter how hard we searched. Relying on food that we have in our inventories and all that, we eventually walked more than far away enough to build a Nether portal that leads to outside of Aincrad. This took the better part of 3 whole days so it was now the end of Day 1345. We didn't just walk around. We avoided lava and as many monsters as possible. To our surprise, there weren't many new creatures added to the Nether that we had to deal with.

Instead, things were just pretty damn quiet most of the time. We dealt with all of the usual situations one experiences in the Nether but turned out okay in the end. Other groups such as the Moonlit Black Cats also entered the Nether in order to do the same thing we're doing. We also did a lot of flying around when we could with our ALO fairy wings. That allowed us to travel a lot further than otherwise. Due to this as well as some teleporting around and using our high stats to move faster, we were now millions and millions of blocks away from our starting point. Like 720 million blocks away. I guess many Nether dimensions of various Minecraft worlds were fused into one or there's something more to this. The death game may have made it possible for blocks to generate normally this far out. When we finally left the Nether that far from our portal through a new one we built, we found ourselves the equivalent of billions of blocks away from Aincrad. We weren't in the game anymore. We were inside the Minecraft multiverse cluster now. We appeared in a normal vanilla Minecraft world. Blaster cheers: "Arr! We made it out!" Dominic points out: "But we are still very far from our goal. We can't exactly call for help. Even if this world has players in it, they can't help us. And all of our comrades in BRAINS ended up being pulled inside the death game as well. The only good news is that Notte and Rano cannot follow us here. At least, not very easily. Wait.. Nap causation. How could I have forgotten so quickly? There are a few BRAINS comrades that weren't dragged into the death game. Why? Because they're machines. Yes, Aporia is a machine and he was pulled into the game but not all machines we know of were pulled into the game."

I reply: "How can that be? I don't know of any machine that wasn't pulled into the game." "Again, nap causation. How do I put this? Oh. Right. My metal clones. They weren't pulled into the game. If just one of them finds us, we can get to work to figuring out how to completely free ourselves and everyone else of the Infinityverse. Even if we manage to find where our physical bodies went, we can't just return to them the way we are. It isn't possible. We're still tied to the Infinityverse's many save files. One of my clones should be overseeing this Minecraft multiverse. So how do we get detected by him? We are in one Minecraft world amongst practically septillions of Minecraft worlds." Bray replies: "This is an intriguing dilemma. However, there are things we can do that will be picked up on." I add: "Like doing things that are on radar somewhere within the bases and stuff our collective has! That and some of us have clear records of digital activity spanning back for some time! We need to summon our duel monsters. And doing things Minecraft players do as well. One of your metal clones just has to notice a spike in SOMETHING based on what we do, Dominic." The others agree. Carlos snickers: "I'm going to cause some trouble!" Madeline glares at him: "Careful! There might be other players in this world. We need to avoid interacting with them because doing so might complicate matters!" I nod: "Like causing the world to become a viral news story somewhere that says 'strange players with strange equipment have been spotted in a Minecraft world, more details to follow'. This world might be a server based on the fact that we all got here just fine. Thousands of players could flood this world if such a news story broke. It's a good thing we can fly though."
