keep anything a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Archivist had heard everything, he finally understood what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the Archivist wasn't sure what he should feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Mage Emperor had the dream to one day leave Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, that dream was now confirmed to be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, there actually was an end, and the Archivist had already reached it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even becoming a God wouldn't change anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the Archivist would become more powerful, but nothing else would change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would still be stuck in Aterium for all eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made no difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Alex and the Archivist were the only humans in existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After talking for a long time, Alex offered the Archivist to become a God as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Archivist declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archivist wanted the world to have more Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he became a God, Aterium wouldn't have enough Mana anymore for another God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archivist still had hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, maybe the world will give birth to an unprecedented genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe, that person would be able to find a way through the eternal Destruction around Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, if the Archivist became a God now, that person wouldn't be able to become a God without the Archivist dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the Archivist didn't want to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why the Archivist decided to remain a Peak Mage Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex shared a bit of the Archivist's hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex and the Archivist studied the silver wall, Entropy, and the eternal Destruction beyond Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They learned a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But eventually, there was nothing more to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, their minds weren't advanced enough to understand Entropy, Mana, and Destruction fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, things stopped making sense, and it was like everything turned into gibberish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That moment had arrived 300,000 years after Shang had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, thanks to Alex and the Archivist, humans had reappeared in the world, and they had already created many different paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, beasts were also there, and they were a bit more powerful than the humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aterium had transformed into something unrecognizable from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex and the Archivist gave up trying to comprehend the fundamental forces of existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, Alex decided to comprehend all the Concepts in Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was stuck in this world, he decided to learn everything he could about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Alex's powerful mind, it only took him 50,000 years to comprehend all the Concepts except for the Concepts of Life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a million more years, Alex had even comprehended them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, there was nothing left to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the world had undergone another soft reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't nearly as absolute as the one that Shang had done, but it could be described as an apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lot of powerful people and beasts died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, life became stronger again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years later, Alex realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there had not been a single Abomination since then, the amount of Mana in the world had still decfined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had only declined by about 0.001%, but that still signified a certain finality to existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Alex and the Archivist looked for the source, and they found it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unimaginably tiny bits of Entropy randomly appeared inside Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bits were so tiny that they immediately exploded without anyone noticing or caring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would probably take over a trillion years before they eradicated all the Mana in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they would still eventually eradicate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that dampened the mood even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there truly no hope?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ltneverended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing more to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex couldn't become more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex knew every little particle of his world like the back of his hand, and he was even able to foresee what would happen years in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Alex slowly realize what eternity meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn't even actively think anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing to think about anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing for Alex's body or mind to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another million years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex felt pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Existence had become unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex looked at a powerful sword he created all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to end it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he did, Aterium would also cease to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inner conflict was eternal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexjust wanted to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every second felt like an hour whenever Alex was in an inner conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hejust wanted everything to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Alex's head shot up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, something had happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex looked at an isolated island to the north of Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a cave, deep underground, something had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something new!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something that Alex had never seen before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was some kind of golden gate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in the center of the gate, there was only nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex recognized the nothingness as Entropy, but for some reason, this kind of Entropy was different from the one he was used to seeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It somehow felt... mystical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex disappeared and reappeared in front of the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had no idea what this gate was or how and why it had suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, Alexjust looked at the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he stretched out his right hand and touched its frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't destroy it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to remember that there was nothing Alex couldn't destroy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, for some reason, the hardness of this gate was beyond anything Alex had ever touched!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Alex looked into the gate, he felt something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire existence was telling him that he would die if he entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his instincts told him that survival was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this gate represented something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe, there was something that Alex could do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe, this gate could give him a way out of Aterium?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, Alex realized the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he entered the gate, Aterium would lose its connection to him, and Aterium would get destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more, Alex was stuck in an inner conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to choose between a potential hope for himself and Aterium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex struggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, before Alex came to a decision, something happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's eyes widened in terror as the gate before him exploded to the side like someone had just kicked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said, stop doing that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex looked with frozen shock at the... what was this? It was some kind of silver shadow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a two-dimensional silver shadow of a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex had never seen anything or anyone like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck, this is getting annoying!\" the silver shadow shouted in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the silver shadow \"turned\" to Alex and looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Alex felt like the silver shadow learned everything about Alex's existence and history in a single instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh wow,\" the silver shadow said a moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have some problems, dude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dude...?\" Alex repeated in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But hey! Don't worry! I knowjust the guy that can help you!\" the silver shadow said with a cheerful tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a small card appeared in front of Alex, and he looked at it with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Gravitas Mental Health Clinic?\" Alex read in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-06T04:07:30.030Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef8f769a5414a87821610bb9041aad6c108abcc33a4eaae70c82b318ea4d587c","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-829","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-828",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
