the way you are describing the timeline in infinite loop makes it seems its one space-time is being infinitely recycled and not just the loops are seperate timelines. maybe you can provide more context here.
"Hmm… no wonder my memories never quite aligned. Each loop doesn’t follow a single fixed point in time — they branch endlessly outward. That explains why I somehow retained knowledge of ancient languages I was never supposed to know."
The figure remained still for a moment, the wind gently brushing against the edges of his cloak. Then, with a small, knowing smile, he slowly unbuttoned his coat.
Beneath the cloak — it was Edward.
Another Edward.
This alone should have been impossible.
Edward had once concluded that every time he 'woke up', the world would shift. Sometimes subtly, sometimes completely. But always... it changed. The start remained the same — waking up in his apartment — yet the reality that followed would never be identical. It was not mere memory or illusion. Each loop was a splintered existence, a divergence into another timeline entirely.
"It was a divine decree of hatred, echoed by the tortured cries of infinite trapped souls."
This line was no exaggeration. Each loop consumed exactly 200 lives. Consistently. No more, no less. A fixed toll embedded in the structure of the Loop itself.
But the moment Edward solved the mystery — when he uncovered the true identity of Agrhahamah — everything shifted.
Edward stood face-to-face with Agrhahamah’s true form — no longer just a monstrous body in the material world, but the pure entity that once dwelled within what Edward could only describe as the Meta Plane.
What was Agrhahamah?
"The fusion of consciousness and unconsciousness — no individuality remained."
That was the answer. Agrhahamah was never just a creature. It was a being born beyond the Loop, beyond time itself — from the Meta Plane. A realm untouched by causality. Untouched by time. Untouched by logic.
The Loops, for all their anomalies, were still bound to the laws of fragmented space-time. But the Meta Plane existed outside those laws — and therein lay its danger. Even the slightest disturbance in the Meta Plane would cause fractures in the fabric of the Loops, like cracks spreading through glass.
And so... the presence of the other Edward — the one atop the mountain — could not be explained by any normal logic of past, present, or future.
Because in Edward’s universe, time had already collapsed.
There was no true future anymore — only now and the countless pasts he had endured.
For another Edward to appear, he must have come not from the timeline… but from the Meta Plane itself. A presence that had slipped through the cracks. A presence that had descended into the Loop to open
what should have remained sealed.
And from the chapter (external) it is shown that there is a world with mathematical forms (just the shape like mandelbrot burning ship etc), there is an empty world,a colorless world, and there is a world that is completely different from the city of Mary Ann.
