Gary was once again within his sea of consciousness. This time he was sitting cross legged at the center of his little island.

Suddenly, the sky shattered and an entity was invading. Glowing orange bile dripped through the crack, and fell into the waters of Gary’s sea of consciousness. Gary watched as the orange goop made its way up the beach closer in his direction.

The goop reached out a tendril, and attempted to touch Gary. He stepped aside. It then tried harder, Gary dodged it once more. This went on until Gary was forced to teleport away.

The goop was getting faster. It began to launch pieces of itself at Gary. At first he could easily avoid the missiles, now he was zooming around his sea of consciousness occasionally teleporting hoping he could tire the goop out.

He theorized that he had enough mana to keep this up for at least a few months. He didn’t want to wait a few months, so instead he decided that he ought to pull out the black rune sword, and start swinging. At this point his little island was nothing but goop, the water was orange as well. Gary began to stab at the gooey mass in between dodging it. He found that the black rune sword was quite effective in dissipating the goop.

Eventually the goop began receding. It gathered up into a ball, and began to levitate back to the crack in Gary’s sea of consciousness. Gary used this opportunity to wildly slash at the ball. He managed to do significant damage to it, but it was too dense to fully destroy. The entity managed to escape Gary’s sea of consciousness.

Then, Gary felt a *new* sensation. The entirety of his internal entropy, the space where his sea of consciousness, and soul coexist, and interact with the spiritual. Consider the internal entropy the ‘all’ that is Gary. His current truths at least.

The space around Gary’s internal entropy just looked like normal sky, now it looked like orange goop. The entirety of the Gary's internal entropy was held within five massive goo pillars.

A giant gooey daemon looked down on Gary’s soul from up above. Its eyes were regular brown human eyes.

“Bro, what?” an intent was heard.

Gary, floating in the air above his island, raises his arms. “I surrender?”

The goo daemon’s face elongates, and stretches up to Gary’s. “Huh?”

Gary shakes, and attempts to appear non-threatening.

“Woah, you’re alright. Weak, and strong woah. I’ll cut you a fair deal yea?” The daemon transmitted.

The world became orange goo, and all Gary could see was a brown eyed, wide smiling Daemon talking to him.

“Am I going to die?” Gary opened one eye.

“Precise, yea. Anyways, I like you. I’ll make it painless. See I got options for worlds for you to reincarnate in.”

Gary immediately aged another 100 years. “shoot.” He croaked.

“Right, first let me look at your stuff. The more stuff, the more stuff. You know?” The daemon giggled.

“No, I don’t know.” Gary shook his head.

“Righto, let me have a looksy~GRAEAEAE-” He made an ungodly noise, and Gary convulsed for anywhere from 2 seconds to 20 years from his perspective. Depending on his luck.

“AAAA-” Gary stopped convulsing, and collapsed. Tears streamed down his face. This was an advanced manifestation technique, as soul forms do not have tear ducts.

“Hey, hey, woah. Welcome back. Uuh. You’re gonna have to explain all of this. All I understand is that you’re a tyrant?” Its grin widened. “That’s pretty based, not gonna lie. Anyways,” He materialized plans that Gary had drawn up. “What do you mean by ‘Maximum Society?’”

Koba analyzed one of the runestones that Gary had set up. He was to help set up a few ‘key’ runes for him, and Gary would open a temporary crack for him to pass through.

Koba was currently making sure this succeeded, and then blew up on Gary, because oh boy.

At first Gary seemed just ‘weird’ now he seemed like a threat to the silver city itself.

He looked over the documents that Gary had given him. It wasn’t the full picture, but what was there was madness.

The runestones only encompassed the kingdom, but their purpose was twofold. There was a massive shield array that was constantly dormant, but activatable from the capital. This was not ready yet, but was what the Garyocracy was using as an excuse to keep putting up runestones.

The first few runestones, before he took power, were often taken down, until Gary started actively killing people who did that. Nobles had other more profitable problems, like beating the peasantry, so they chose not to waste the manpower.

The second, global purpose was to surround the planet in a bubble, and cordon it off from the rest of reality. It would still be connected to the material, but entrance, and exit, would be determined by Gary.

This was all that the documents told Koba.

His knowledge, understanding, and observation told him. The third function of the stones was to act as a direct link to Gary’s internal entropy allowing him total dominion over the area the runestones covered, as if a part of him. Within the limits of the dao, and all that.

He was essentially turning the planet into a mini Gary-controlled universe.
