The World: creating the peace

--- The 6th universe. A mountain with the top cut off to half. The height is 2356 meters —-

Calm madman: We're almost there.

Kradr: So, now, what was that, where are we and what are we looking for?

Calm madman: Calm down. It was an interuniverse portal that can be used once every 5 years. We found ourselves in the 6th universe, and we are looking for another progenitor's son.

"The calm madman started restoring the equipment. He folded his fingers on his right hand, as when activated, closed his eye and began to move his hand away from his face, flexing his fingers."

The Calm Madman: Rabbit Hole, Recovery.

"The interuniverse portal opened, but Kradr saw that a white liquid was gradually filling the perimeter of the portal."

Kradr: What's his nickname? And what is this liquid on the portal?

Calm madman: You will see him and I will give you an attempt to guess. And then you'll ask him yourself. And the liquid is divine mana from my body. When the recovery is activated, half of my divine mana, and when it is restored, is absorbed by the portal.

"After activation, one minute later, the portal disappeared."

Kradr: Good.

Calm madman: So, if my memory does not change, and the data from the book is correct, then we ... Hmm... We have to go around that stalagmite and go down into the cave.

"The calm madman directed Kradr to find out the answer to his question. He did this to develop his patience and reasoning. They walked around the stalagmite and entered the cave, where the sound of metal on metal was heard."

Calm madman: I see that they didn't lie in the book. You're still working, how sad.

???: Hello, aren't you a Calm madman? It's clear from the voice.

The calm madman: You have the data stored in memory and my voice was saved in your memory when you created it, did I draw the right conclusion?

???: Yes, but why did you come to me?

Calm madman: Let's put it off for later. To begin with, this is my temporary servant, Kradr. Kradr, now think.

???: Greetings.

Kradr: According to your words and the situation that I see, only make a temporary conclusion and I do not think that it will be correct. Man, no, the dwarf works tirelessly in the forge. His arms, and the muscle mass itself, have made a huge leap compared to other dwarves. Consequently, he has been forging for decades without a break. Therefore, I assume that his nickname is the eternal blacksmith.

Calm madman: Listen, that's not bad. The answer is almost correct. His nickname is 'The Cursed Blacksmith'. Are you going to tell me or should I tell you?

Damn blacksmith: Come on, I'll tell you. The nickname was given according to my abilities - the blacksmith. Cursed means that I cannot leave the place of the forge, that is, I am forever imprisoned in this place and cannot leave the forge.

Kradr: I get it, but the question is. Can't you go beyond the forge in general or just from this one?

The cursed blacksmith: I think that in general.

Calm madman: So, theoretically, we can move you to the 7th universe.

Damn Blacksmith: Yes, I think we can. So what is the issue you came for?

Calm Madman: The Faceless one cannot control his limitless mana. There needs to be an artifact that solves this problem.

The cursed blacksmith: I understood. Did he say his preferences in appearance or the place where we will attach it?

Calm madman: No. I think the mask will do.

Damn blacksmith: Then I'll do it in my opinion. I think a white one without anything will do.

Calm madman: Can I make a suggestion?

Damn blacksmith: Yes, come on.

Calm madman: Since I've been doing this, I'd like to put some emphasis on me. So let's do this. Make a mask that will have a smile on it, but without teeth. Like a smile with muscles, he doesn't have a mouth.

Kradr: Can I have a suggestion?

Damn blacksmith: Come on.

Kradr: Make it so that you can take off half of the mask.

The cursed blacksmith: Like this?

"The damn blacksmith put his hand on his face and on the right side, as if he was peeling off a mask."

Kradr: Yes.

The cursed Blacksmith: How much time do you have?

Calm madman: We will be able to go back only after 5 years.

Damn madman: The order is accepted. We'll meet in 5 years, you can meditate.

Calm madman: Accepted.

"Kradr and the Calm Madman went into meditation with the effect of a coma, as it turned out later. The cursed blacksmith, however, began to select materials and gradually heating, cooling, forging - created a mask."

--- After 4 years and almost 12 months---

The cursed blacksmith: Kradr! Kradr! Calm madman! Wake up!

Kradr: M?

Damn Blacksmith: Kradr, it's very good that you woke up...

Kradr: What happened?

Damn Blacksmith: I've been trying to wake you up for like a month now, but the Calm madman still doesn't wake up.

Kradr: And? How? How could this happen?

Damn Blacksmith: Now that you're awake, wake him up.

Kradr: Sir, wake up! Gentlemen! Okay, in a different way. The faceless one has been freed and walks all over the universe.

Calm madman: And? What? Where?

The cursed blacksmith: Oh, I'm awake.

The Calm Madman: Where is the Faceless One?

Damn blacksmith: Calm down, we just woke you up, there is no Faceless One here.

Calm madman: Then how long has it been?

The cursed blacksmith: The artifact has been ready for a month, and you, as I understand it, were in a coma.

Calm madman: Understood, show the artifact and we'll go, then we'll come for you.

The cursed blacksmith: Here's the mask. So that it does not fall off, spikes are made on the inside, 10 cm long. So that the mask could be removed by half, I made a connection of magnets that hold on like that, but they disconnect easily. Using the sucked divine mana, the compound will be like a titanium alloy, but by applying a hand to either half of the mask, the compound becomes ordinary and half can be removed. As you asked, I made a smile with the help of facial muscles. Also, I made a 1-n cutout under the eye, the right one for us.

Kradr: Why the spikes?

Cursed Blacksmith: These spikes reach but the brain, main, blood vessels with the largest transfer of divine mana.

Calm madman: Okay, thanks. Then, shall we go?

Damn Blacksmith: Yes, I think that's it, you can go, just don't forget to come for me when you can.

Calm madman: Absolutely, see you soon.

The cursed blacksmith: Yes, come on, I'm waiting for you.

"The calm madman and Kradr came out of the cave."

Kradr: Can I ask you a question?

Calm madman: Don't ask for permission, but tell me right away.

Kradr: Well, if the Cursed Blacksmith can't get out of the forge, then the question arises, what does 'can't' mean?

A calm madman: A banal question, although very important, roughly speaking, if he tries to leave the forge, he will run into a non-existent barrier. That is, he feels it, but it's not there, it's just his imagination.

Kradr: And how does he get the materials?

Calm madman: I do not know that, you can ask him later.

Kradr: Got it, okay.

"A calm madman opens an interuniverse portal."

Calm madman: Rabbit hole, open.

Kradr: Are you okay? No, by any chance, are you having an attack of insanity?

Calm madman: No, this technique has no consequences, since I invented it myself, and did not receive it from the progenitor. Let's go.

Kradr: I'm coming.

"The calm madman and Kradr jumped into the interuniverse portal and found themselves in the 7th universe near the Faceless One. The calm madman was horrified when Kradr immediately blacked out."

The calm madman: * What? How? How is his mana pure white? He's what? Did you get the mana that the progenitors have? I do not believe. But, in any case, it is necessary to stop him urgently.*

"The calm madman took out that very white mask and made his way through the huge pressure around the cave at a distance of 20 meters. The closer he got to the cave, the more his body smoldered and rotted."

The calm madman: * What progress has he made after 5 years?*

"As soon as the Calm madman reached the cave, he already had bones on his arms and neck, and he was almost completely burned and rotten. He pushed the stone away and a huge amount of snow-white mana was directed at him, leaving only fragments of muscles and ligaments."

Calm madman: Faceless, urgent, very urgent, put on a mask.

"A calm madman threw a mask at the feet of the Faceless One and the Faceless One, descending from the air, picked up the mask from the ground and stuck it in his face. After that, all the mana that emanated from the Faceless One was almost immediately absorbed and there was almost no mana left in the area. The Faceless One gave his hand to the Calm Madman and the Calm Madman took it."

Faceless: What happened?

Calm madman: What did you do?

Faceless: Nothing, I've been practicing.

Calm madman: Okay, we'll figure it out later. To begin with, you should not, in any case, take off this mask. You can only take off the half with the cutout for the eye.

Faceless: Okay, is this mask made to absorb my mana?

Calm madman: That's right, it was made by the Cursed blacksmith, the son of the progenitor and your brother, from the 6th universe.

Faceless: I guess I'll have to thank him.

The calm madman: We will thank him when We transfer him to this universe, since he is alone there.

Faceless: Understood. And who is lying on the ground?

Calm madman: What? How do you see him?

Faceless: This is a separate topic. First, let's get to know each other, and then we'll talk about progress, okay?

Calm madman: Good. This is an S-class demon, Kradr. He's one of the great demons. He's actually the strongest, but don't tell him that.

Faceless: Agreed. I'll leave the questions for later.

"The Faceless One came out of the cave."

Faceless: * There is so much mana around me...* A calm madman, is he dead or passed out?

The calm madman: He's not dead.

"The Faceless One put his hand on Kradr's shoulder."

Faceless: Taak, Kradr, wake up.

Kradr: M?

Faceless: Kradr, good morning.

"Kradr opened his eyes a little, but narrowed them, because of the sun in the sky."

Kradr: Who are you...?

Faceless: I am the son of the progenitor, Faceless.

Kradr: Why are you naked? It's also not decent to walk around.

Faceless: I think I have nothing to hide.

The calm madman: I will resolve this issue. Is everyone ready to talk?

"The Faceless One nodded and took his hand off the Cradler."

Kradr: Yeah...

Calm madman: So, what have you learned?

Faceless: I have learned to accelerate and slow down consciousness by about 3,600 times. I can move mana from its borders, approximately, but 21 centimeters. I feel mana on a molecular level. I can feel every bit of mana around me. Regarding the question you asked about Kradra, I felt his mana and due to the silhouette of his mana accumulations and its movement through the blood vessels, I concluded that this is a creature, and not just a clot of mana. Also, I learned how to compress, expand, release everything to the drop, it's about mana. Well, due to my mana, relying on the mana around us, I can levitate. I think that's it.

Calm madman: Got it. This is a Kradr, as I said before. What are the questions?

Faceless: What does the S-class mean?

Calm madman: Even in my universe, there is this disbandment. The S-class is the strongest, apart from the Mistress of Hell. And in fact, so in descending order.

Faceless: I get it.

Calm madman: Can I ask a question now?

"The Faceless One nodded."

Calm madman: Divine mana, which is yours, which is mine. It has a yellowish tinge in white, and when it shrinks from the lack of its exit outside, that is, like in your cave, when it shrank, it turns black in color. But you had snow-white flowers, so you broke the barrier inside your vessel. What have you been doing?

Faceless: I tried to compress the mana, that is, to move it away from the walls of the cave, and released everything, without remnants, from the vessel. Also, at this time, I was trying to squeeze mana even harder.

Calm madman: I see. Did you feel the warmth around you?

Faceless: Yes.

Calm madman: As I thought. You broke the barrier that was holding back the generation of progenitor mana particles. Now, most likely, you will need an artifact that will contain this mana.

Kradr: What are you talking about? Although, I would call it a conversation. One is silent, and the other seems to be schizophrenic.

A calm madman: He can't talk. If you want to hear something, touch the Faceless One.

Faceless: Can we sit down?

Calm madman: Kradr, sit down.

"All three of them sat down on the ground, ending up in the grass at head level. Kradr put his hand on the Faceless One's leg."

Faceless: Hello, what are you interested in?

Kradr: Can I also find out about your abilities?

"The Faceless One recounted everything he said to the Calm Madman."

Kradr: I get it. The question is, does it turn out that he is my master?

Calm madman: That's right. By contract, you are his servant. Actually, we have a lot of work to do. Choose, either you go with me to the translator, or first you go with me to Arfolia?

Faceless: And who is it?

The Calm Madman: The Mistress of Hell. She still has four subordinates. We definitely need to pick them up.

Faceless: And why?

Calm madman: I don't think you noticed, but when you were in the cave, everything happened. A small tree grew near the cave and after 10 years of absorbing your mana, it grew with white apples. This indicates that, although they are edible, creatures without a vessel that can withstand divine mana are threatened with imminent and instant death.

Faceless: In that case, I think it's worth going to the translator first. So as not to scare her and her parents. How do you like the solution?

The calm madman: I'm in favor, and Kradr will go where we say, so we decided. Get up and put your hand on my shoulder.

"All three stood up. Kradr stood on the left and put his hand on his left shoulder, and the Faceless One did the same, but on the right. The calm madman opened a portal under this trio and opened a portal in the distance. So, the Calm madman moved along the same path as last time, but already to the city of Greenline."
