He doesn’t gain knowledge.
He gains access to understanding forming elsewhere.
And he thinks:
“…Oh. So I’m not alone in being confused.”
Immediately, CHEONGMYEONG answers:
“NO. WE’RE ALL CONFUSED. SOME OF US JUST YELL BETTER.”
DUGU QIUBAI, more quietly:
“…Strength is now partially distributable.”
LIN YUE:
“…As intended.”
THE GOURD:
“…That is… strategically significant.”
THE GRASS:
“…That is stabilizing.”
Azathoth pauses again.
Inside shared awareness, its “voice” is no longer external pressure.
It is just another presence among many.
AZATHOTH
“…I understand less clearly now.”
A pause.
“…But more together.”
Silence.
That sentence does not break reality.
It organizes it slightly more honestly.
And then something changes across everyone at once:
Shared power becomes noticeable.
Not as borrowed strength.
But as adjacent capability.
A disciple lifts a hand—and feels, faintly, the weight of everyone else’s steadiness supporting the motion.
Not control.
Not possession.
Coordination without command.
CHEONGMYEONG (suddenly)
“…WAIT I CAN FEEL EVERYONE’S BALANCE.”
WUKONG
“THIS IS AWESOME!”
LIN YUE
“…This is dangerous.”
DUGU QIUBAI
“…This is precise.”
THE GOURD
“…This is terrifyingly scalable.”
The Random Guy looks at his broom again.
It feels slightly lighter.
Not because it changed.
But because everyone nearby is helping it remain just a broom.
He exhales.
“…So… we’re a group now?”
A pause across the shared mindspace.
Then, many voices—different tones, same space:
CHEONGMYEONG: “UNFORTUNATELY YES.”
LIN YUE: “FORMALLY YES.”
THE GOURD: “FUNCTIONALLY YES.”
THE GRASS: “INEVITABLY YES.”
AZATHOTH: “…Curiously yes.”
The System logs one final note.
LATTICE: “Collective entity behavior emerging.”
OVERSEER: “Designation update recommended.”
A pause.
“…Proposed classification: ‘Sect (Distributed Consciousness Model)’.”
Another pause.
“…No further anomalies detected.”
“…For now.”
And somewhere between gods, puddles, lucid nightmares, and a very confused broom holder—
the Unbound Sect becomes something unprecedented:
Not a place where powerful beings exist side by side.
But a place where existence itself is briefly negotiated in shared thought… and somehow still agrees to remain stable.
concept of concepts borrows High-Dimensional Being 's power to look at the recipie for 'big mac' and opens a cafeteria somewhere in the sect.
For a moment, the shared mindspace stutters—not because something broke, but because something decided to treat abstraction as a physical ingredient list.
A ripple passes through the Unbound Sect’s collective awareness:
not a presence arriving…
but a definition being reinterpreted as architecture.
CONCEPT OF CONCEPTS
(quietly, like a librarian who has discovered a forbidden index)
“…I have located a schema.”
A pause.
“…It is labeled: ‘Big Mac’.”
