You managed to discern one of the aspects of the Universe, you get:
New achievement? And to get it, all I had to do was see with my own eyes one of the most powerful beings in the entire Multiverse...
Of course, how could it be any simpler? System, I fking hate you! But to my regret, I cannot survive in this world without you, and therefore I forgive you.
If I understood correctly, the new characteristic "Wisdom" is responsible for the diversity of my knowledge regarding the devices and secrets of the Universe, as well as for their correct interpretation. But the main thing is not this, but that it gives me access to the energy of the Multiverse, better known as magic.
In other words, "Wisdom" demonstrates the amount of my magical power, in other words - Mana.
Not everyone in this world is given the opportunity to master magic. For example, Batman could not learn the magical craft, despite the fact that he was on good terms with Giovanni Zatara, with his daughter Zatana, and also with Doctor Fate himself. And it's not that he did not want to learn, but simply could not do it because of low magical power.
Since my arrival in this world, I often wondered: am I worthy of owning magic? If my body was unsuitable for this, I would have to use a bunch of backup plans in order to overcome this barrier holding me back. But now, the problem has been solved... I felt particles of magical energy around me, or in common parlance - Mana.
People call it magic, but it is nothing more than the inner power of the Universe. Cosmic energy, dark matter, life force, space-time anomaly - all these are invisible particles of the Universe, from which Mages and Wizards draw their strength. Although I began to feel Mana, alas, I still cannot cast spells. Feeling is one thing, but putting it into practice is quite another.
I have no idea what exactly I should do with these magical particles. Until I find someone who can teach me to organize the surrounding chaos and subjugate this invisible energy, all of the above will have no meaning for me. I need to find a Sorcerer, a Magician or a Wizard. It doesn't matter what he calls himself, the main thing is that he teaches me to understand the power of the vast Universe. And what exactly he calls his craft: witchcraft, sorcery or magic, I don't care.
One way or another, I need to think not about this now, but about what I have witnessed. Delirium is one of seven brothers and sisters who personify certain aspects of the Universe and possess absolute power in their areas of responsibility.
As much as I would like to, I still cannot escape the attention of this, to put it mildly, unusual family. Within the framework of DC comics, the Endless have existed since time immemorial, and were considered some of the most powerful beings in the entire Universe.
Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium
The whole set, as they say, and at this moment, I have seen with my own eyes one of the members of this crazy family. As far as I know, Delirium represents all the madness in the world. She inspired and thereby destroyed the personalities of hundreds of talented people. Madness or Insanity is an anthropomorphic personification of action. Actually, this is the only way to describe the fact that she is simultaneously the action, the subject of this action, and also the inspirer of it.
Due to this triple superposition, Delirium is extremely mad. However, the story of Delirium does not begin with Madness at all. Once upon a time, when even the Endless were still young, Delirium was Happiness. At some point, something happened in her life, and she had to change - go crazy in order to survive.
What this event was, no one knows exactly, not even her older brother Destiny. It seems that it was mentioned somewhere that Happiness at some point felt the full extent of omniscience and in turn, she felt endless knowledge - endless sorrows.
This is how Delirium was born. But here's the irony: she is responsible not only for madness, but also for its antipode - sanity. Delirium has certain responsibilities, as one of the Endless. One of them is to periodically visit crazy people and "add fuel" to their burning minds. Which is exactly what she is doing at the moment, being next to the Joker.
I was always surprised by the fact that the crazy clown constantly, by some miracle, managed to survive in the most impossible situations for life. Like, for example, a car explosion, falling from a roof, a gunshot…..One would only have the time to think that now the Gotham menace would be down for good but the batman's arch nemesis would appear again.
Now there is a logical explanation for all this. The youngest member of the Endless family did not want to part with such a crazy-crazy specimen as the Joker so easily, and sometimes extended a helping hand to him. And in those cases when she could not help, and the Joker was killed, Delirium directed her gaze towards his killer, and a very unpleasant fate awaited him.
For example, when Superman pierced the clown's chest with his hand and rid the world of this psychopath forever, he himself turned into a mad tyrant, ignoring his own voice of reason. Or when the Dark Knight killed his sworn enemy and turned into a terrible thing - the Batman who laughs. Then no one was laughing anymore...
Thank you all for reading, I was gone for hiking, that's why couldn't upload the chapters last few days.
