B3 | Chapter 43 - The Quantum Reaper
And when they see it, every last being within range of sight stiffens up completely. Whether they\'re a monster or a user. Just an instinctive wave of fear that freezes each and every last one of them.
Except two people who quickly move to nearby islands. One being the only Shadowborn Hydra in existence and the other the son of the Ancestral Dragon himself.
And the two of them both smile as they watch the events going down on the stone island where the beacon is shining from the center of.
Vast waves of glitchy purple energy can be seen radiating out of the massive beacon, spreading across the entire Dimensional Block. But what draws their eye the most is the sight of the silhouette at the center of the beacon slowly rising up into the sky within the purple energy making up the beacon. A silhouette that is slowly morphing.
At first it\'s just two strange appendages sticking out of the silhouette\'s head, both too difficult to make out through the beacon of energy. Then wings begin to emerge from the silhouette. Meanwhile a large scythe emerges in the beacon located above the silhouette before it lowers down, and the silhouette grabs it.
The energy continues to radiate out in waves, terrifying everyone within the Block before at last, the pillar begins to fade, revealing the silhouette in all her glory.
Both Astrid and Ethan grin when they spot her.
Alexia, the sole Quantum Reaper of reality, floats slowly down towards the ground, her long dark hair tinted heavily with purple as it billows in the wind over her shoulder, glitching as it does so. Despite the appendages on her head showing in her silhouette when she was in the pillar, nothing can be seen now other than her deep purple and black hood pulled on over her head. Meanwhile two dark black and purple wings that are a mixture of draconic and avian in origin open up, spreading out around her after having been curled inwards. Both wings of which glitch repeatedly in multiple locations all across it, confusing the eyes of anyone who looks at them. And her eyes, both glowing with a glitchy purple light while making it impossible to tell where exactly she\'s looking, release a wave of energy when they\'re opened.
But what catches the attention of everyone who can see her no matter how far away they are the most is the scythe she has in her hand. A scythe radiating so much energy that it\'s warping the reality around it while bolts of purple energy repeatedly spark, jumping back and forth from the scythe and its wielder\'s hand as the wielder in question raises it to get a closer look. Then she lowers it a little and swipes it through the air.

The blade of the scythe digs into reality and begins to rip it open, revealing a strange realm filled with quantum energy beyond the rift that is left behind. But the Quantum Reaper pulls the scythe back out and closes the rift again with her bare hands, not bothering to pass through it.
And when anyone nearby tries to identify her, all they end up with as a result are two simple words and an ominous sentence.
{Quantum Reaper – May you forever stay on the right side of the universe\'s wrath}
A chill runs down the spines of everyone who had identified her.
Everyone except her sister, who just grins.
Then all of the power vanishes in an instant along with a thunderclap as the entire transformation just reverts and the scythe vanishes without warning, leaving the Quantum Reaper to fall downwards before she manages to catch herself by teleporting so as to not faceplant on the ground.
Silence fills the entire Dimensional Block. A silence that is only broken by a single snort of amusement from the Quantum Reaper\'s sister.
And the silence returns even after that, filling the entire Dimensional Block.
Meanwhile the Reaper looks around with a frown on her face, as if she\'s trying to figure out what had happened. But it doesn\'t take long before the System Notification rings out through the Block, warning everyone of the Dimension-Wide Dungeon\'s spawning.
The Ten Year Event will now begin. The Dimension-Wide Dungeon is now appearing. A Dimensional Block-wide map will appear in the corner of every challenger\'s vision with a waypoint leading directly to the location of the dungeon. You will have three months to enter the dungeon. You may enter the dungeon as many times as you please during this time so long as you are a marked challenger chosen by the Dimensional Block\'s Authority Holders. You may leave the dungeon at any time, however you may no longer enter after the three month period of the Event. The Event will end when the last person leaves. |
And immediately after the notification appears, every one of the challengers immediately continues making their way towards the Quantum Reaper.
Meanwhile a massive door appears right next to the Quantum Reaper herself, making her turn to look at it before she glances at her sister an island away and nods. Then she reaches forwards and enters the massive door.
Entering the Dimension-Wide Dungeon Event of the 108th Dimensional Block.
