Chapter 1414: [Supreme Wars: Act I] 54/?: A Blossom Of Guilt
-----
Within the confines of the World of Genesis, there was an enormous white jewel, as big as the moon itself, it was so big and s.h.i.+ny that it resembled the greatest diamond to have ever come into existence. This enormous jewel, which was missing several fragments within its body was the World"s Core, a wondrous item of incredible power that belongs to the World"s Will of the same name as the world itself, Genesis.
Genesis" past is mostly unknown by many, but for those close to her, it is not hard to imagine that she had a hard time. Her life had been filled with hards.h.i.+ps and surviving in the outer universe was h.e.l.l incarnated, with so many ent.i.ties so powerful they could engulf her in a single bite, it was no surprise she would choose to stick with a planet with life, and parasitize it to live in there in safety, she went to such extremes as to isolate it from the outside universe by how threateningly dangerous it was.
However, after eons of building up a utopia she could manage and live peacefully, the order of everything was being torn apart by her sister herself, Kireina, a being created by her creator as well, Chaos, the Primordial Deity of Chaos, which was brought here by the act of her rebellious descendant, the System Master, in an attempt at overtaking her by manipulating fate and finally freeing himself from this encapsulated bubble of a world where they were located now.
But it seemed to be all quite pointless. As the System Master ended bringing a danger that he would soon begin to regret, and he had attempted to get rid of Kireina more than once, failing miserably in all attempts and losing big as well. At the end, the World"s Will herself had to intervene, and even then, it seemed that each time she was about to accomplish something, it failed terribly…
Each time she tried and tried, but it failed. She was just trying to survive at the end, she wanted to protect the world she made, the comfort she felt, the life she wanted to live, but Kireina, like a virus, infected her body and constantly tried to overtake her. the Supreme G.o.ds had stayed in silence for a long time, and the World"s Will simply hoped for all of them to settle down in the world, and live there with her for eternity, why would they have such a strong obsession with growing stronger and escaping this world, this wonderful and incredibly big world she had made for everyone?
The desire for freedom was something that was impossible to take away from the Supreme G.o.ds- no, humanity by itself. Although some of the Supreme G.o.ds were not even humans, humans were the original race of this world, and all other intelligent races came from them one way or the other. Some were mutated through miasma, others transformed themselves through magic, and others were suddenly born different. At the end, some were created by others, and so on, constantly, all of the root of all intelligent races still goes back to the humans.
The original inhabitants of Genesis… Or well, Earth. The World"s Will had invaded their planet and selfishly took over it, fighting against them and killing millions. Selfishly and without any sense of guilt, even now, she felt no guilt as such humans were nothing but ants before her. But with the revelry of the supreme G.o.ds, it felt as if humans finally decided to strike back, and to boot, the strongest Supreme G.o.ddess was a former human, a woman that once inhabited in the planet when it was called Earth, someone who still had all the memories of how things came to be… And she was the one leading such a crusade to defeat the World"s Will and free everyone from the cage that was this world.
But Kireina showed up and things were accelerated incredibly fast. The World"s Will couldn"t blame Flora for wanting to do that against her, after all she had ruined her life, her race, everything, but Kireina? She came out of nowhere, and did whatever she desired, at the end, she became a pain that she had to get rid of.
Until this point it had been excruciatingly hard, but thanks to the powers of Fate that her closest ally wielded, things were able to be slowly plotted into her… death. Kireina was dead. There was no doubt. The World"s Will saw her body evaporate, her soul shattered and then dissipate into nothingness, and her Origin Core fragmenting apart. When an Origin Core broke, a being was bound to die most likely. Forever.
And after the big explosion, Kireina disappeared. She was dead. However, instead of happiness, the World"s Will felt… strange. It was way too easy. There was something wrong with this, it didn"t felt like she died, it felt as if she just vanished. Where did she even go? She was no longer here; the world"s will could not feel her anymore. But… there was this lingering feeling that something weird was happening.
Nonetheless, she cooperated with Hel and others to separate all the surviving Supreme G.o.ds. When Kireina teleported them away from her sight, she planned to teleport them together, however, she interfered in s.p.a.ce and separated them one from another. At the end, they ended vastly separated from one another, and despair should be already in their minds as they find themselves alone in these wastelands of death as Hel prepares the demise of each one of them… The World"s Will and Hel thought they had pretty much won. Now, they had to only wait for the last ones to be picked up and for their ultimate end to arrive, there was nothing they could possibly do now other than wait for the end to come.
The World"s Will, however, still feel weird about everything… It was indeed way too easy. Would Kireina just die so easily? Would it be just like that?
There was some sort of feeling deep within her… But it was different than hatred or frustration.
Was this…
Guilt?
"I have… killed my little sister… I should be happy. But why… I am not happy?"
