Chapter 513 - The Sudden Change
While the group were getting worried about Ren fainting, inside his soul realm something bigger was happening. The original incarnation who was smiling while watching Ren survive this ordeal with his own strength suddenly frowned.
A powerful outside entity had entered the soul realm and into his very own secret space, of course, there was only one being outside the Strongest Mortal Soul incarnations that could do such a thing. The ORIGIN had arrived but unlike the ORIGIN\'s past visits there was something different. Not knowing what was happening to the ORIGIN the original incarnation was on full alert. He was ready to strike at any moment.
The ORIGIN did not say a word as he sat across the board from the original incarnation\'s position. Unlike his usual calm expression, the ORIGIN was actually showing something very mortal-like, he looked to be in pain. The original incarnation who had seen numerous things in his almost eternal existence was never as surprised as he was now.
In their long history not once has the ORIGIN shown him such an expression. The facade of being an omniscient, omnipotent being was gone, and all the original incarnation could see was a being in need of help. The ORIGIN who had sat on the other side of the table looked at the original incarnation and couldn\'t help but sigh, as he then softly chuckled.
"My son, it would seem that the final battle you so wish is about to come." While the ORIGIN was talking, the original incarnation noticed some black smog coming out of the ORIGIN\'s body.
"So it has finally reached that point. The corruption of your so called children has finally penetrated your inner self and still, you do nothing." The original incarnation shook his head as he spoke those words to the ORIGIN.
"Hehehe, as expected from you, such biting words… It is true that I could easily terminate the children whose inner corruptions have encroached on me, but I won\'t do it. Even with all they have done, they\'re still my children. How can I punish them for their inadequacies born from my own failures? Even you who had tried to kill me numerous times and had almost succeeded still exist."
The ORIGIN who was in a form that could not be perceived by weaker beings suddenly chuckled. The original incarnation even saw the ORIGIN having a pained smile.
"You\'re one to talk, don\'t you kill numerous mortal beings as you reset their planets, solar system, galaxies, universes? You might be the origin of all living beings, but you have no right to sound like a benevolent father."
Even though what the ORIGIN was saying was what he truly believed in, the original incarnation couldn\'t accept it. The faces of all the comrades who had died, who had sacrificed their lives for him surfaced in his mind. Their battle with the ORIGIN and the Gods has been going on for eons now, and several universes and hidden dimensions have already been destroyed.
"You know resetting them isn\'t the same as killing them, it just forces them to restart from the very beginning. I simply for them to do better in every reset. Even you do the same thing with every reincarnation of yours… Though because of my current state, I do not recall ever creating a way for humans to reincarnate, especially the special form in which you reincarnate… But I\'m certain I did so out of my love for you, and all of humanity and those that evolved from them."
When the original incarnation heard what the ORIGIN said he sneered. The greatest trick he had ever pulled was still unknown the absolute being that was the ORIGIN.
"Resetting them is not the same as killing them? Every time they reset their new selves will no longer be who they were before. How is that not the same as killing them? To me death is not when one\'s biological body dies, but when one\'s experiences are no longer there. Those people aren\'t the same people that I have met and experienced so much with. They might look the same but they are different. Unlike my reincarnations, we might look different but deep down we are the same."
The original incarnation gritted his teeth as he said those words. He was reminded of the numerous comrades his reincarnations adventure with, many of them had been reset and they were no longer the same as the people they knew before.
"It would seem that even now as the end of my rationality is nearing we still don\'t see eye to eye. Well, that\'s alright, because of that stubbornness of yours, you are the only one who can save all that I have created. Please my son, save them from myself."
The ORIGIN who had stood above all beings bowed his head. Seeing that scene shook the original incarnation to his very core. There had been many surprises that happened during this brief conversation of theirs, but seeing the ORIGIN bow with sincerity had completely caught him off guard. The original incarnation could not help but show a rare expression of shock, but it quickly went back to his neutral expression.
"I have always planned to save them, which is why I went through all of this trouble. It\'s not just them I\'m trying to save… It\'s you too."
This time it was the ORIGIN\'s turn to look at the original incarnation in shock. He was an almighty being, who knew almost everything from past, present, and future, in all universes the only thing even the ORIGIN could not foresee were things related to the Strongest Mortal Soul, but even without that foresight the ORIGIN could easily predict what the other was thinking, but now it was different. What the original incarnation said was outside the ORIGIN\'s expectations. After a moment of silence, the ORIGIN smiled a very bright smile.
"As expected you truly are my HOPE. Very well, my child, even though we are standing on opposite sides I hope you achieve victory."
"… How long do you have before you are fully corrupted?
"Not long, it could be tomorrow, a month, a year, a century, I\'m not sure. All I know is it\'s nearing. Once I lose control and my entire rationality disappears and turns into those negative emotions the Ancient Gods feel, then I do not know what I would do next. I might just end it all in a single breath or I might just destroy all human life from the universe. The rage and jealousy the Gods, my children feel for humanity and all of its offspring is immense."
"I see… Do not worry, I would never allow you or them to destroy the very multiverse my companions died protecting." When the ORIGIN heard the original incarnation\'s answer he smiled and nodded his head.
"I\'m glad to hear that my son… Then this is farewell, the next time we meet… I would no longer be the father you once knew." After saying that the ORIGIN left the soul realm. The moment the ORIGIN left, the board that stretched almost infinitely with numerous pieces on it was broken in half, but before it broke most of the pieces on the side of the ORIGIN started gathering into one spot. Seeing this happening the original incarnation sighed as he spoke in a lowered voice that only he could hear.
"Goodbye… Father…"
