#absolute world

If it was a normal Information Flare, the entire Village below Delilah and Delilah herself would've been crushed to dust by the density of the information.

As such, this was a temporary "isolated space" that resulted instead of a small-scale teleportation.

The epicenter of the Teleportation Spell would have shifted Delilah's person to a certain location, but where that location would be isn't entirely stable or known… however the outer "isolated space" was caught in that information, basically trapping the village and people inside the space.

But because that was only a temporary state, as soon as Delilah were to teleport, the space between this world and the Backyard would have shifted locations and positions… effectively sending anything that wasn't Delilah in to the Backyard and destroying it.

What we know so far about smaller-scale Teleportation is that the bigger the distance, the more time it takes for a spell to be initialized. And so far, only Bedman and Izuna can cast long-range teleportation spells successfully (Axl Low might also be capable of them, but he currently doesn't know the precise method how. Even I-No's abilities far exceed any normal "spell logic" that is currently understood.)

However, Delilah messed up her Theory (casting attempt) and it caught the entire village inside the slowly-collapsing dense space.

When Sol last entered Bedman's Nightmare Theatre Space, he stated that it was "similar, yet different" from that of the Backyard… he could still feel the pressure to a minor extent, but it was stable enough to exist inside.

Asuka R. Kreutz also used a similar method to meet with Axl Low as well… Axl even said he could feel the "pressure" as well (though I-No told him to try and ignore it).

Anyway, the reason we can say it is very similar to the Absolute World is because of the "overlap" that was created.

There was enough dense information in the space to crush the average person (even Ramlethal was being affected by it, though Baiken willfully chose to ignore it as best as she could)… the only person who WASN'T influenced by the density of the space was Delilah herself!

Now, either that is because Delilah's spell created a "safe exception" for Delilah as the "center" of the spell… or it is because the "space" was still "stable enough" (at the time) for her to exist inside it.

Ramlethal was preparing herself to "protect" Delilah during the Teleportation process, since it wasn't clear where the spell would send either of them if it wasn't successfully stopped. Ram would most likely have to (in the worst case scenario) create a "barrier" around Delilah that would at least protect her from the Backyard's information until they could find a way back in to normal space.

Even before Bedman's fight with Venom, in his fight with SLAYER, Bedman's Bedframe "did" INDEED completely regenerate.

Though the concept behind that particular regeneration may not entirely be Deja Vu itself.

Anything that is inside his Dreamscape influence can be manipulated by his mind. That is his "Dreamlike Reality".

That's probably also true of Delilah as well, perhaps even on an even larger scale!

Bedman stated to Axl Low matter-of-factly, that most of reality can be temporarily influenced up to a certain point except for Death itself, via a Lucid Dream effect. The only thing that is permanent, however, is the Absolute World effect.

So then, why didn't the Bedframe completely regenerate in this instance?

Either the force of will wasn't strong enough to influence the frame to that extent, OR the user's will was too far away to influence the object to that extent.

Most likely referring to the latter in concept, though the story itself goes a roundabout way of explaining it.

The Universal Will (Ariels) warned Happy Chaos that I-No would become deeply connected to the world's origin, which was originally "cut off" from itself to prevent a paradox.

And because of that origin, she symbolically became like a "mother" to all of Mankind (hence the reason certain individuals cried when witnessing the "giant I-No phantom"). Somewhat like a nostalgic reaction to something that is familiar and close to the core of human emotions.

The only one who actually didn't cry was Ky (for reasons linked to his own paradoxical origins which I-No herself created, see Side Red/Side Black Drama CDs for details on that one).

ANYWAY... Because of I-No's link to the origin of humanity, even Vampires like Nagoriyuki could sense that origin... but that's not all there is to it:

I-No was also herself a paradox, so the conflict caused her to choose her "past self" and preserve that future instead of her own (asserting Megumi's future). That decision was "altruistic" in nature, which is what saved Nagoriyuki's life, despite I-No's darker nature.

You make a compelling observation!

Bedman *did* state to Ariels that he could've fulfilled his goals without her help, and when she DID turn on him, he was fully prepared to create a "fragment" of the Absolute World state to oppose her power.

But it seems that, doing so cost him all his life-force in the process (or so it seemed).

Bedman's goal was to use the Absolute World to "save" Delilah... but how could he do so if triggering such could potentially kill her?

Unless... Delilah herself would survive the event.

This here is just speculation, but: Bedman was fully prepared to die for the sake of saving his Sister from the effects of the Backyard.

He might have anticipated that his life was the cost of saving Delilah... but was hoping he wouldn't have to resort to such (as he says to Axl: "who is going to embrace her?")

To achieve the Absolute World... a great cost was needed.

Meaning his death, but also the power he sought at the expense of his life, and the expense of other peoples' lives.

While the Absolute World triggers world mass extinction... perhaps the reverse is also true?

Massive Deaths, a flux of life information entering the Backyard... perhaps such could trigger the Absolute World as well? A kind of "Life-force-based" Information Flare?

We already know that even just a small amount of information entering the Backyard's space can distort this world in large ways.

The Backyard was always dense to the brim with information... full to bursting, even. Like some massive Dam is holding back a torrent of information...

But how would Delilah survive? How could Bedman survive along with her?

Right now, the only thing that can allow a Human to exist within the Backyard is "isolated space"... an established space (made of Magic) that can at least prevent the density from affecting a human short-term.

As you know, "That Man" (Asuka) created an Isolated space and was actually "living" inside the Backyard, much the same as Bedman was (even Delilah lived this way, so it seems).

Even his predecessor The Original Sage was able to somehow navigate his way through the density of the Backyard's information and return alive.

Even the Conclave were using Justice' dense GEAR body as a vessel (the Cradle) to travel inside the Backyard, and used Absolute Barrier Felion to maintain their physical selves amid the torrents of information.

Like a Submarine or a Space-ship vessel, to plumb the depths.

It's likely that Bedman didn't have enough power to establish an "isolated space" for both himself and his sister that would be strong enough to handle the Backyard's full density, and so he was seeking to obtain large amounts of Magic energy from other human souls.

Once he had enough power, he would be able to resist the effects of the Absolute World, change his sister's fate (and possibly himself) and even reset the human lives he had taken.

Or at least, such seems like the plan...

But what about Delilah's fate? It seems that, much like Bedman, she has the power to create Deja-Vu... to reset lives lost... a power she gained from the Backyard itself.

So is Bedman truly gone? Has he truly failed to save his Sister?
