Verse and Dimensions: Stories - страница 47
Outside of dreaming up wild fantasies, Peralitus also spends a considerable amount of time talking to a Barelitil fragment he found inside one of the Beyond Bubble's only Monocosms. This Barelitil fragment speaks very highly of Peralitus and it was its words that first suggested Peralitus may be Barelitil's son. Whenever Peralitus tells this fragment about his incredible 'achievements', it responds by telling Peralitus how proud he is, how competent he has become and what a 'perfect fit' he will be. It was this language that convinced Peralitus that Barelitil intended to appoint him as leader.
Abnull finds the amount of time he spends talking to this Barelitil fragment utterly absurd. In fact, she finds everything about how Peralitus acts utterly absurd. From his pitiful idea that he is somehow the 'leader' to his strange obsession with a heritage he doesn't even know exists to his ludicrous ideas about authority. Peralitus, in return, thinks very lowly of Abnull and is astonished and angered at how much the other Broken Supergods seem to respect her and treat her as the leader. Peralitus would gladly exile her if he actually had the means to, though both Peralitus and Abnull know that Abnull would prevail in a physical fight between the two.
Peralitus is also annoyed by Negatil's constant criticism of him and her more general complaints about 'unjust hierarchies', a concept that is completely alien to Peralitus. Surely, it is the strength of the hierarchy and the being at the top that provides its justice? Peralitus holds less resentment for Negatil than Abnull however, as Negatil's anger is not targeted specifically at Peralitus and most of the other Broken Supergods can also agree that Negatil is obnoxious.
Peralitus appreciates Positev's helpful and encouraging praise of his endeavors and pride in his heritage, and considers Positev to be is "second in command". (A role Positev completely ignores.) However, Peralitus is nonetheless annoyed that Positev seemingly also considers Abnull the leader for all practical purposes.
Peralitus also appreciates Schematus's attempts to decipher the Broken Supergods' past, however like Abnull is annoyed at how he wastes his incredible potential. Although it's likely that Abnull and Peralitus have very different ideas of what Schematus putting his skills to good use looks like. While Abnull believes his amazing intelligence and abilities could be used to support the Broken Supergods, Peralitus believes that Schematus could one day monetize and sell his incredible inventions and ideas across the Cohort, gaining recognition for both Schematus and Peralitus.
Venrensorys
Venrensorys is the personification of everything the Supergod Council stands against. Any principle which the Supergod Council upholds is a principle which Venrensorys despises. Any idea which the Supergod Council fights against is one which Venrensorys embodies. The Supergod Council values order, subordination, co-ordination, unity, selfless actions and consideration of consequences. Thus, Venrensorys embodies chaos, freedom, a lack of co-ordination and decision making on a purely selfish basis with no regard for consequences. As the Supergod Council is the highest, supreme force of judgement within all of Beyond it can be considered that they set the standard for what is 'good'. As such, Venrensorys as their opposite would embody all that is 'evil'. Its physical form is even more powerful than Hellensoerensen.
