The "corruption timeline"... wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard of it.


log 1

If you don't already know, the evil alts are waging war over in the Shadow Timeline, and my hollow thought it would be a good idea to use my divine beast replicas.
It all started when I felt a strange feeling of... mind control coming from the Shadow Timeline. Is someone over there really powerful enough to communicate across the wormholes and influence me here? I think that ST Shadow Golden decided to mind control my ST counterpart into mind controlling me into creating a new timeline where I'd steal the Divine Beast replicas and give them to the evil alts in the Shadow Timeline. Is she really that powerful? I thought the wormholes blocked the Shadow Timeline from direct intervention with our timeline, but is there a back-door way to evade that, or is the Shadow Timeline's less-powerful version of the Timeline Crystal really that powerful?


log 2
The mind control got stronger, urging me to go and reclaim the Timeline Crystal from Agnes. I was somehow able to take it back peacefully. The familiar force then urged me to use the crystal's powers to create a new timeline, and transfer the Divine Beast replicas from that one into the Shadow Timeline... As such, the quality of the timeline that I created was not the best. I was able to see parts of it with the crystal, and reality itself seemed to be falling apart. I didn't put much effort into creating anything other than the areas which needed to be there, so the only accessible area is Kiruna Campus. The campus is the world, and nothing and nobody outside of it exists. I was able to transfer the Divine Beast replicas into the Shadow Timeline and cut off all outward rifts from the new, corruption timeline. Like a reverse version of this timeline, outside forces from other timelines should be able to access the corruption timeline, but those within the timeline cannot start any outside interactions.

The controller seemed to be under the influence of mind control herself, and it was very weak. It cut off suddenly, and I thought I destroyed the timeline...

log 3
The entirety of the corruption timeline consists solely of Kiruna Campus, and the campus alone. When I was creating it, I decided that the only areas which would be necessary were those areas where the four Divine Beast replicas were stored. Creating just the campus was the easiest option here, and it used less energy. I was tired when I created the timeline, and didn't put my full concentration into it. The end result was a timeline where BENT is still running. All the buildings are run down and emit a constant humming noise. Several areas seem to be falling apart, with black vertical lines seperating certian materials from the white void surrounding the campus. The sky is dark and cloudy, and everything seems to be falling apart. Even the fabric of reality itself is cracking. It just seems like a manifestation... almost dreamcore like version of my dear campus. The Divine Beast replicas were the only things that were fully and properly rendered, and those are in the Shadow Timeline now.

log 4
I thought I destroyed the corruption timeline. You know how some people get drunk and do crazy things? I was basicaly under the influence when I created the corruption timeline. I think that I messed up when I created it. It wasn't made correctly, so when I tried to destroy it, I messed up again, causing the timeline to fall apart more. Once again, I tried to destroy the new timeline, things were so messed up that I couldn't properly destroy it. After a few attempts, I gave up. The timeline was more broken than it was to begin with.

log 5
Every now and then, I will get these horrible visions of the new timeline. I'll see what's going on in my nightmares, and I even feel that I am transported into it. I'm faliling as a person, and in time, my power and curiosity will be my downfall. I will become a tragic hero in my own right.
Every day, situations in the Corruption Timeline get increasingly worse and worse... and I'm losing the little hope I have left... that something, anything can be done to lend support to the corruption timeline, and I'm at a point where I'm sure that their suffering is my suffering, and as long as the timeline stands, I will live with these nightmares, constantly reminding me of what I've done. I wonder if Greief experiences any repercussions like this when he spreads chaos and disorder across the multiverse... I feel that this, along with those vivid nightmares of twisted pasts, must be some sort of manifestation of my guilt. I do remember having visions like those as a child, but they are getting worse and worse.

  Isn't there something I can do? Please tell me that's the case. I know there has to be something...
Perhaps if I break it enough, reality will fall apart enough that everyone will lose awareness. Perhaps I can try to destroy it bit by bit, decreasing the observible world of that timeline, until noting remains. or, I return the Divine Beast Replicas which are now in the Shadow Timeline. They might be the missing piece that is preventing me from ending the corrupted timeline...

log 6
  I don't know what will happen when BENT comes to an end in the corruption timeline, but I have a strong feeling that it will be something terrible.
If they keep sacrificing contestnats to me, we will lose even more time, and once that time runs out... a great calamity... something so horrible, i can't explain it in words. When BENT is concluded in that timeline, the host will reach her full power, and perhaps become strong enough to fufil her dream of converging the Corruption Timeline, the Shadow Timeline, and the Main Timeline. I hope that will not become the case. I've tried time and time again to kill her, or steal her power, but it never works. I shall see what can be done, but it's clear that I can't do this on my own...

log 7
I have decided to return the corruption timeline's Divine Beast Replicas. Nobody there has any knowladge on how to use them. I will create a new timeline, dubbed the Oversight Timeline to replace the replicas that the evil alts wanted to use in the Shadow Timeline. This time, I will put more effort into creating it. I will not allow myself to fail!
Preperations will start soon. Hopefully I can cause enough turmoil to not only prevent a new episode from airing in the corruption timeline, but I might just be able to draw the attention of my counterpart, and somehow manage to kidnap her. I will hold her in my universal purgeotry. Hopefully, that will keep her at bay for a bit...

It's that time of the day again. The time for me to enter the Corruption TImeline as Armenian, the corrupted version of the hologram-goddess, Marianne. I will not take any live sacrifices this time. I live in the guilt of causing all this death and destruction in the Corruption Timeline, and I hate to feel it grow. I haven't created the new timeline for the new Divine Beast replicas which I'm giving to the alters in the Shadow Timeline yet, so I must hold off from any direct intervention for the moment. I will make sure to get this done this week, for I cannot waste any time.

Almost every night, I've been having this nightmare. In simple terms, it shows BENT concluding in the Corruption Timeline, and followed by that, the timeline merges with the Main and Shadow Timelines. On that day, the host reaches her peak strength, and uses her power to fuful her dream of converging the timelines. Everything falls to ruin, and I am at fault. Those nightmares where my friends became hollows because of my negligance were bad enough, but I cannot deal with a scenario where the entire multiverse suffers because of my mistakes. I will act swiftly and carefully, as I do not wish to make a mistake like this again...

  Preparations have began! I hopped off Little Ruta, heading towards my apartment to get ready. Once this new timeline is up and running, shaped into exactly what I want it to be, I can move on to the next steps.
However, I fear that I might not be able to do the rest on my own. I have allies that can help... surely!

*there's more text that seems to have been quickly jotted down on the back of this page. It's in a diffrent handwriting.*

  Mari, please don't act too recklessly. I've been reading your journal, and I worry for you...
*the same person who wrote this seems to have sketched Little Ruta next to the message...*

log 10
  I am almost ready to make the new timeline. I've managed to find solace atop Little Ruta's trunk, and I am almost ready. I am energised and prepared. The foyer is a perfect place with plenty of space for me to open up a rift and create a timeline. This one will split immediately from the Main Timeline. There will be none of this 'created from the depths of my anxiety, so BENT is still running and everything is broken" nonsense. The plan is for me to create the timeline, take out the Divine Beast replicas, and put them in the Shadow Timeline. There will be a moment where there exists three of each beast within the Shadow Timeline, but that's where the next part o the plan comes in. I will remove the Corruption Timeline's beasts, and return them to their respective timeline.

It is my only hope that... that is the key preventing me from destroying the suffering timeline. Let's see how this plays out. I will create the timeline at any minuite now...

*she's drawn out a mind map of the plan...*

log 11
  I think that I am ready. I opened up a rift and created a Timeline Dome. I opened up a Vision Portal, and got everything set up, but something didn't seem right. I decided that I had to lower Little Ruta further into the harbor for additional protection. Now, I am ready. I shal head into the main control room and turn on Little Ruta's barrier. I am making sure to activate her waterfall and ice protection as well. She will throw ice blocks at anyone who tries to approch her. The rain will make sure to cast out the sounds coming from within to avoid drawing attention. I mustn't let anyone else on the campus know about my shortcomings. Well, who'd care anyways? I sent the contestants home last month, so... it's just non-contestants now, and Evelyn decided to apply to the collage here. Regardless, she's not here right now. I continue to reassure myself that nobody cares about what I'm doing, and that this will be perfect. Right?



  Right. I will start as soon as I can.

log 12
  I await the approval and acknowledgement of both Agnes and Zibonzi before I start to create the new timeline. Oh, while I'm on the topic, I got a strange... experince from the Corruptoin Timeline. I heard this music filled with static and dissonance. In the background, I could hear some morse code... hmm... wonder what it all means?

UPDATE: I was able to translate the morse code and reply to it. She's saying how she wants to converge the timelines. Awesome.

log 13
  Well, I have made the new timeline! I still need to make sure I have those last-minuite tweaks done, and I'll start on the next part of the plan as soon as I can. I belive that the Divine Beast replicas which I stole from the corrupted timeline are the missing piece to the puzzle - what's blocking me from destroying it. All the parts are there when the timeline is created, so it makes sense that you need everything that belongs in a timeline... well.... in that timeline... in order to destroy it!
Of course that can't be done when the only properly rendered parts are in a completly diffrent timeline. Well, what am I waiting for?

On a new page, the same person who had made the other notes and the sketch jotted down a note.
  Marianne, I'm REALLY hoping you read this. You need to stop being so... ambitous... and kick this down a level. You are powerful, but you don't know how to use your powers the right way, which is something you need to learn. You may be strong, but you need to figure out how to manage your powers better. I know that you have more to do, but as soon as you've gotten all that done, I will be taking the crystal back. It's not good for you.

log 14
  I once again pushed myself too hard. I often overwork myself and go too far. I have created the new timeline and replaced the replicas in the Shadow Timeline, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to... well... never mind.
