Obliteration:<success>

"What are you going to do? we need to create a massive explosion to have the reactor produce a chain reaction... also, I don't know what the enemy protocols will be, but it wouldn't be wise to stay here, since the reactor is compromised, they might decide to blow it together with us inside." The two walked hand in hand while Morpheus analyzed everything.

"I don't have sufficient mana to try and produce a massive explosion, but we're lucky... I don't need mana in this instance." 

"By mana you mean... the source of energy that your 'magic core' produces? are you sure you want this information to belong to the enemy?"

"The enemy doesn't have the means to exploit this information, not in this world..."

"... you shouldn't underestimate the Wisdom King and Marianne further, whether that information is exploitable or not, it's not up to us to decide, they always have the means, even I could start thinking of a few key strategies in which this flaw could be used to deter your movements."

"..." 

"If you had a chip, we would be able to communicate without speaking." 

"I'm never using any of those."

"I know, you're stubborn." 

"We can use these..." 

"How? they're containers of highly volatile geo-kinetic energy... the least exposure to foreign conditions could be lethal."

"Your methods have plundered the purity out of the Earth's vitality... you believe this 'atrocity' to be more effective, but that is not the case... nature is the most compatible only when combined with nature, not with your artificial methods." 

"You speak as if I'm to blame..." 

"You're going to be humanity's representative in front of me henceforth."

"Please, no... that would be too much to answer to, I'm but a pitiful android."

"Sure, sure... lady android"

"How exactly can you use this with your magic?"

"Aside from the mana produced by my 'divinity'... there are also many other ways to obtain mana, it just happens that we're in a place that has immense concentrations of it."

"Geo-kinetic energy?"

"No, the planet's vitality..."

"...?"

"If you need my help, just say it... I don't understand anything of what you're about to do... I'll try to get rid of the bugs."

'I'll try to locate them, but there are just too many...'

'Isn't it better to get rid of the power?'

'This centre has at least ten backup energy sources, it's easier to get rid of the bugs one by one than to engage in this endeavour, V2|N'

'...'

"No, need, it won't take long...I'm going to create a magic array with the geo-kinetic energy as the source..." 

"Magic array?"

"You mentioned your 'starscript' before, right?"

"Yes, it's a code of automated commands that settle the self-sustainability of an AI, I'm capable of rewriting my own code to be better... what does that have to do with this?" V2 switched with her shining blue dots and inquired.

"What I'm going to do is something like that but with magic... a magic array is a junction of spells that interconnect through mana flow, receiving and sending sources from one to the other."

"But you said you don't have 'mana' left...?"

"Depending on the spell it might not require a lot of mana, setting an array is easy, what's costly is the spells involved in its creation... for example, the teleportation from before cost me a lot of energy."

"Why?"

"Space laws, together with Fate Laws are some of the most difficult to interact with."

"What about time?"

"I told you before, time doesn't exist, it's a convenient recreation... there are no laws of time, just laws of fate and soul. if I were to set up an array that follows instructions to eventually perform teleportation, it would cost me just due to this particular 'step' of the entire procedure... just stand there and watch me do magic."

"..." Rather than 'stand' there, Null sighed and proceeded to erase the bugs, such an important thing, she didn't want the enemy to have access to this information.

<Magic Array: Set up Context>

*RUMBLE!!*

She had to stop on her tracks even before starting when dozens of weird runic circles started to appear around all of the nodes that were fully loaded with geo-kinetic energy!

"Good, now..." Morpheus smirked and moved his hands back and forth as if he was orchestrating a theatre presentation.

'Do it quickly, we can't allow this procedure to be leaked!' V2 ordered within her circuits.

'Hmn!'

...

"A-Are you ready?" Regardless of whether she's an android or not, Null's lips quivered when she regarded the magnificence in front of her.

'Just what is this...?' 

'I don't know...'

There were those runic circles... everywhere, it looked like a spectacle of lights, different colours, different contents, they enveloped the gigantic shining abyss inside the reactor and some of them even floated outside of the facility... is this all necessary just to generate a big explosion?

'I'm trying to find a pattern to those runes...'

'Don't try...'

"Yes, it's finished." Morpheus finally smiled, delighted at his own work.

'It's always fun when there is this much energy available, but... how sad, to think they extracted this much energy from you...' He sighed and took Null's hand before they started to float away.

"W-What exactly did you do? this looks like a doomsday creation if I'm honest with you." Null allowed herself to be led by him as they reached the ceiling, he touched it and transmutated it, digging a gigantic hole through which they departed the facility.

"It might as well be..." He smirked only causing further panic within the woman's core.

The two of them flew away as he placed them at a secure distance in which they could see the magic arrays revolving and the entire facility.

"Let's enjoy the show... I don't have to do anything else to add, the array will trigger in three minutes."

"Is it just to cause an explosion?"

"Among other things..." He beaconed her to make silence and wait for the fireworks, the woman could only roll her eyes and awaited this 'spectacle'.

<Magic Array: Trigger>

<Life Magic: Vitality Substraction>

Several minutes took place in which nothing happened.

'I can detect a foreign pressure coming from some of the runic circles... the energy of the silos is decreasing?!'

'How so?'

'Unanswerable, but the radiation emitted by the silos is decreasing exponentially.'

It was once all of the silos were empty, that the next step of the array took place.

<Space Magic, Isolated Domain>

*RUMBLE!!*

Nothing could be seen with the eye, but a gigantic spatial barrier covered the entire factory!

<Elemental Great Expanse, Fire: Crimson Demise>

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!-------------------------------------

And then it came... like the thunderous strike of a lightning bolt, it began with a light dot, but then, destruction ensued like hell falling on Earth, but even then Null could only sigh in wonder and utter disbelief, when aside from the light in front of her, she didn't see anything or feel anything... or even hear anything!!!

'W-What is going on...?

Utter destruction and decimation took place INSIDE the spatially isolated barrier... outside of it... even houseflies weren't aware of what took place other than by the light produced by this gargantuan sphere.

The chain reaction began, producing a massive sphere of light that could be seen with raw eyes were one to be looking at it from space.

Through the entire ordeal, the Magic God maintained his nonchalance while Null and V2, didn't have any words.

"Phase one is complete." He uttered with the grace only a divine being can muster, but Null hadn't been paying attention to that.

The factory no longer exists, and there was no collateral damage... but there is still Phase two, the Magic God isn't done yet.

<Elemental Great Expanse, Fire: Thermal Compression, disosiation>

*RUMBLE!!!*

Still, inside the magic barrier, the gargantuan sphere lightly compressed on its own core, forming what could only be described as the descent of the sun.

The more they glared at the events happening inside, the more in awe they were at the ridiculous events taking place in front.

This... only a God can do this, no technology is advanced enough!

The ball of raging plasma divided itself in two... slowly, it started to replicate into at least ten cores that kept compressing and compressing.

"W-What are they doing, w-why?" The gaping Null finally uttered some words, but she didn't get an answer, as perfect as everything is going, Morpheus had his senses locked on the entire thing with his arms crossed and his wings spreading wide.

After ten cores, they no longer replicated anymore.

'Ten, huh... it will have to do.'

One of the ten cores flew by itself into another one of the magic arrays that floated above the already extinct facility... right now, there is only a massive hole several kilometres deep... nothing else.

The moment the sphere of light entered the Magic Array, another sequence of magic ensued.

<Light Magic: Holy God's Demeanour>

*FIIIUSSH!!!*

Pointing towards the skies, towards a particular vector far into the stratosphere... a magic spell Morpheus had already conjured started to initialize in the form of a massive light beam that charged, releasing a tyrannical bright light together with a frightening atmosphere.

'It's targeting <Point Blank>!' V2 understood right away!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!----------------------

The world-ending beam, several hundred times stronger than the one Morpheus had released... shot to the skies, crossing the layers of the atmosphere at a speed that couldn't be followed with one's eyes...

*BAAANGGG!!!!!*

The beam impacted the floating satellite in outer space, crashing heavily against the forcefield, but it was for nothing!!

The beam went through the forcefield like a knife through butter and destroyed the satellite, heading for the next nodes!

*BAAAAAAANGGG!!*

*BAAAAAAANGGG!!*

Fireworks lighted up the skies as the beam made sure to erase every single piece of scrap from space.

...

Null and V2 had no words to say, there are no words that can describe the ridiculousness they have just witnessed.

The previously cloudy sky is now clear and the bright stars are overshadowed by gigantic explosions and a massive light beam.

*WOOOSH!*

Having accomplished its objective... the beam receded and the world went quiet once again. 

*RUMBLE!!*

An invisible force erupted slightly, releasing the pressure that had been caused by the explosion within the isolated space, this time, Null felt the change even if she couldn't see it... barrages of wind rushed to fill the vacuum created by the explosion.

And as the last piece of symphony within the theatre, the nine balls of light flew towards their awaiting God.

"These are nine concentrated beads of the planet's vitality... pure as they can get, the way they should be." He explained to the breathless android, feeling sad that only this many could be sterilized.

Such was the impurity covering these sacred beads of the planet's vitality.

"..." The android and the AI didn't say a single word for a long time.

Photosphere

With this, the first volume is almost done.
