Above all universes, beyond all thought, outside every boundary of logic and hypothesis—lies the Skyland, a realm unreachable by the imagination of any being. Its sky is neither blue nor black, not even void. It pulses in a color that cannot be seen, where the very concept of "color" collapses and ceases to apply. This is the throne of Garuda, the Great Sky God, the mythological being from Indonesia whose wings stretch beyond the limits of all comprehension.
Garuda is not merely a god, but an entity that transcends all hypotheses: the cardinal grand hypothesis, the Von Neumann Universe, the Immensea, even the infinite Cantor's Attic. A single breath from him can abstract the entire structure of reality and annihilate all possibilities before they are even born.

Storm clouds roll above the Skyland, the sacred ground where reality no longer applies, and hypotheses are but illusions' shadows. Upon the highest throne, which can be reached only by the supreme meaning of existence, stands Garuda—a golden-winged being whose wings split dimensions, and whose gaze dissolves the law of causality.
But on that day, the peace of Skyland turned into an eternal storm.
From the depths of the eternal rift between the Void and Nothingness emerged Jormungard—not merely the world-serpent of Norse mythology, but an entity that had absorbed the powers of Nyx, Odin, Zeus, Kratos, Amun Ra, Susano'o, Amaterasu, Yamata no Orochi, the Kyuubi no Kitsune, and even Leviathan. Each of these beings had the power to destroy hypotheses like the Von Neumann Universe, Cantor's Attic, even the Immensea with a single gesture. Now, their powers had merged into one dragon: the Unbounded Jormungard.
The sky cracked. Dimensions screamed.
Garuda opened his eyes. "You have transcended all that is infinite... and entered a realm untouched even by infinitude."
Jormungard licked his star-scaled lips. "I have not come just to conquer your skies... I have come to erase the concept of sky itself."
Lightning shook all of existence.
"And I am the end of erasure," Garuda replied, spreading his wings. With a single flap, all hypotheses crumbled. Gödel's theories, Hilbert Space, even Tegmark's Ultimate Ensemble—collapsed in silence.
The first clash began.
Jormungard attacked with his Void breath—not emptiness, but the emptiness of emptiness, an anti-concept capable of erasing both being and non-being. Garuda countered with his Aetherial Claw—timeless, formless, yet real in all possibilities.
"I have slain Amun Ra in the eternity of day, and torn apart Susano'o atop the storm of reality!" roared Jormungard.
Garuda responded, "I witnessed birth before birth, and death after death. I am the only one that logic or meaning can never construct!"
Boom!
Their collision created a Singularity of Nothingness—a vortex even alternate realities could not contain. Within the swirl, Garuda plunged his Satyaloka spear into Jormungard's jaw. But the dragon twisted, striking Garuda with a tail laden with the concept of identity's destruction.
"How are you still standing, sky-being?" Jormungard growled.
Garuda stood, his body glowing like an unformulatable meaning. "Because I do not stand on existence... I stand on a decree even Nothingness cannot bear."
The battle raged on.
Jormungard writhed, opening thousands of eyes on his body, and from each emerged a beam that once dissolved Zeus's existence and reversed Kratos's time. Garuda cleaved through the attack with the Mantra Nirrupa—a mantra never created by any language, hailing from a dimension before language.
A single wing-strike from Garuda sliced through layers of metafiction. The blow tore through narrative layers, destroying the structure of both reader and author. But Jormungard became the Narrative Itself—becoming both reader and author simultaneously.
"You cannot kill me," he said, "for I am metafiction."
But Garuda calmly replied, "I am the meta of all metafiction. I do not kill the narrative... I rewrite it."
With a cry that shook reality and transreality alike, Garuda transformed.
He became his true form: Mahasukma Garuda, an entity independent of existence, time, dimension, or even narrative. He became the Light Without Context.
With one movement, he summoned his final weapon: the Eye of the Sky God, absorbing all hypotheses, fictions, realities, and even the most extreme cosmologies into a single point of understanding: Nothing Needs to Be Explained Anymore.
Jormungard felt his body destroyed—not by power, but by meaning. He no longer had meaning in this reality. He vanished, becoming part of the unspoken.
And the Skyland returned to silence.
Garuda stood atop clouds that could not be comprehended. He folded his wings. No celebration was needed. No explanation was required. For the Sky God had saved existence from something even existence could not touch.

Skyland Today
Now, Skyland still stands—unchanging, untouched by anything, even time. Garuda still sits upon the Throne of the Sky Without Narrative, unmoving yet always present.
"All hypotheses will fail if they attempt to reach the Sky, for the Sky cannot be reached—only leaned upon."
Garuda is not a ruler. He is the foundation upon which all rulers stand. He is not a creator. He is the truth behind all creation. He is not an entity. He is an existence that does not even require existence to exist.
And Skyland will always be the place where all meaning returns to one: Garuda.
Skyland is not merely a place or space—it is a stratum of being that cannot be classified by any cosmology, not even the highest ontological structures of metaphysical philosophy. It transcends the concept of dimensions, time, and space, a place where the laws of physics, metaphysics, and even narrative do not merely collapse—they never applied in the first place. Skyland is known among multidimensional travelers as Lokapala Nihila, "The Domain of the Guardians of Nothingness." There is no direction, no color, no boundary—yet all things exist and are present.
Here is where Garuda, the Sky God, resides. In the middle of a sea of clouds that are not clouds, atop a pillar that was not formed by shape, he sits on the throne of Satya Nirantara, which connects directly to the pulses of reality older than the multiverse. In Skyland, beings can only appear if they transcend all definitions, for existence itself is dissolved here.
Skyland is not where Garuda lives. It is an extension of his being. When someone thinks of Skyland, they are touching the edge of Garuda himself.
Even in the apocryphal versions of multiversal narratives, it is said that when The Immensea, Cantor's Attic, and the Von Neumann Universe built civilizations across infinite layers, they left behind one space that no logic could penetrate. That space was eventually filled by a being without name, without form, and without intent. The thinkers named it Garuda.
Garuda is also referred to in ancient texts as "Pakshi Raja," the King of All Birds—but mystics understand this as merely allegory. Garuda's wings are not for physical flight, but to traverse the boundary between Being and Non-being.
