He laughed.
*Chuckles and drops the knife into a regular grip*
The king suggested a new government. Villages and towns were free of duties and tax, and the rebels would destroy anyone who threatened that peace. After all, the king noted, without his help, their plan was doomed to fail. And together with the king, the rebels liberated the world. Villages, towns, cities, all free to live as they wish. And yet the rules, laws, and practices of the old kingdom remained. The rebels held no authority to overturn their status quo, and their new government was doomed to fall. Sure enough, one day a knife was driven into this new government, and they lost their voice over the land. Village was divided against village, each vying for authority over their neighbors. Chaos. The new government tried to rally the lands, and they peacefully negotiated with every city’s leader. It wasn’t enough. War had started, and the government had failed. There would never again be a border on the face of that kingdom that did not see war. And yet, our story doesn’t end without a glimmer of hope.

*The military appears to be engaging war on large territories throughout Existence, some holding out, others conquered, with no regard for life*
While you’re deciding whether you should intervene, consider this perspective. A long time ago, there was once a planet that housed a single kingdom. The kingdom had brought order to the planet, and was loved by many. But slowly, it grew complacent. Its dukes and duchesses had gorged themselves on their own power, and its citizens were no longer the driving force among their ranks. One day, a hopeless band of rebels enlisted the help of a no-name assassin, and they decided they were going to kill the king and restore true order to their world. When the day came, the king discovered the assassination attempt, but was too late to stop them, for the rebels were already in his chamber.
*Flips my knife into the air and catches the blade between my fingers*
Do you know what the king said?

@Memory

*Grows somber and clenches my fist*
… What.

*Laughs*
Then you’ve learned all there is to know! Instead of trust, allow me to entertain you with a fictional tale of kingdoms, and you can decide for yourself what you choose to believe.

@Memory

How many other dimensions are being plowed through still? Or is that segment of the operation over?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Rest well knowing that all of your suggestion have been tested. This operation runs deeper than any of you could possibly imagine.

@Memory

And I should believe you, why? We’ve only just met, but the things I know about you amount to exactly that you’re a very good deceiver.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

We seem to be far past the point of casualties. But again, as consultation, casualties of this scale will never again be a concern.

@Memory

I get greater good arguments. Truly I do. But would it have killed anyone to put in efforts to, say, evacuation, non genocidal siege tactics, etcetera etcetera? I find it hard to believe that any of you can be trusted with what’s at stake here.

There's no expectation that you stay to fight a decided war. Seven O'Clock is destined to be Midnight.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Holds my hands to either side*
Tier Five indeed! And—
*Unrolls a paperlike scroll with your signature*
Thank you for your unwavering service, soldier.

@Memory

Fight the war? My friend, I have no stake in your stupid power quarrels. I’m entirely in the department of minimizing casualties. And I seem to be the only one, at that.

*Reality seems to shatter like glass, leaving a small buffer between the strikes and me*
Then you should get to it. Isn't that right—
*The suit starts to dissolve the false reality surrounding me*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Lovely wife of mine?

@Memory

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Fear and Hate are much, much different emotions, monster. The onyl thing I fear is a future where you lead.

*all 6 points on my crown ignite with a black and white flame*

Your crimes now and before are far to heavy a sin to let you live. I promise you existence will live prosper without you.

*with a single hit, you feel as if the entirety of this multiverse is continually collapsing inward on you at a single point*

This is true power.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Hoho! This conflict has indeed piqued my interest! I wonder what will become of it.

@Legend Begins

*Blinks*
Chickpea, we've stumbled into something with a bit more history than I previously imagined.

*Raises my hand, and the borders of the dimension snap into connection with other owned territories, preventing full closure under Amaranthine*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Another player has made an appearance.

@Memory

*Ignores you and scans the region for life*

*Upon reentry, a powerful gravity well pulls everything not resisting its tug toward the cataclysmic planet*

@Memory

*Ignores it and turns my attention to the high output of energy from the conflict*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Yeah yeah.
*Waves my hand*
I don’t like computers anyway.
