Artoria lowered her sword as Mark appeared.
His expression was dark as he sat down on the couch. He was silent, and then finally spoke with grave certainty- That shake, was a cosmic ripple from a microscopic tear across dimensions. A multiversal event causing reality's to bleed into each other around said tear. The affected area is a estimated 20 to 30 earth's wide and is spreading, slowly but steadily. Our orbit, it crosses said contaminated area.
Artoria frowned, while Jane didn't understand it.
Jane confusedly asked-Multiversal
Mark sighed stuck out his palm-Imagine our universe a palm and then imagine countless said palms overlapping. Somehow something pierced across said infinite palms.
They are bleeding, in a chaotic orderly mess into and across neighboring reality's.
Jane unfortunately didn't understand it. She only had 9 years of experience outside, most of which was on missions,masturbating to herself, or crashing out or vaguely scrolling on twitter.
Jane-So things teleport into each other.
Mark-Yes, it's possible as much as the Earth suddenly displacing into another reality becoming a wandering planet or appearing in the sun. It's really unapologetically bad.
Artoria finally stepped in, her emerald green eye's falling upon him-What is the plan?
Mark lowered his head and sighed-Hope I have enough time to create a formation or spell to harness the sun's energy to create a warp gate to another livable planet.
Artoria recognized the helplessness in his tone-The chances of sealing the hole?
Mark-Realistically slim to none within a year.
The sheer energy required is terrifying, I would need to harness enough energy to split the earth 6,000 times. It's a overestimation but a certainty.
Artoria could only clench her fist recognizing the severity of the situation. Jane froze, from the sheer weight of that idea. He was strong, but this wasn't something a human could handle.
Mark grabbed a paper and began writing.
He had long since switched to the Ace of All Trades ability.
Mark used the existing basis of the complete reaction of the Great Heavenly Gathering Array and thought up a formula.
Thankfully Ki, responds to will, given natural ki naturally holds the basis of Solar Ki, he has path to conversion. The natural laws are different yet they both possess the concept of the sun, simply use the existing Ki as intermediary and the spell to refine it. The Formation will grow 300,000 km long as it fills with Ki.
The papers were filled out, the philosophy was established using the Eastern Taoist principles. He refined the concept accounting for the occasional surge in energy and gravitational pull, hours past and mind was furiously heating from the intensity of his thoughts. He had even incorporated spatial compression to direct the flow of energy.
Hours past and he solved the issue of containment and transportation.
The problem remained, time. He couldn't gather enough energy to create a warp gate enough for the majority of the people on earth on time. He would need to sacrifice a portion of humanity.
The sun is a limited resource and sadly his abilities do abide by the laws of physics to some extent. His abilities connect him to a extra dimensional energy frequency mitigating his own cost to essentially zero without other mass. He needs one day to gather enough energy for all of humanity, and then what.
The nearest habitable planet was 10.6 light years away. Not far or impossible but the fact is there are no settlements, no food, and the oceans may contain foreign elements. It wasn't enough. Mark's own dimension despite its idealic nature didn't house plants bearing fruit even animals.
The problem was bigger than himself.
