"Congratulations you pass."
Ren who thought that he had ceased to exist heard a very familiar voice speaking to him. Ren who only saw darkness in front of him finally saw a small light that was growing bigger and bigger. Ren's closed eyes slowly opened and he saw that he was back inside his soul realm.
"Was I saved by you?"
Ren looked at the original incarnation that was standing in front of him and was confused. Why did he appear now and why did none of his incarnations respond when he needed them the most?
"Saved you? You seem to be misunderstanding sothing, you weren't in any danger in the first place so there wasn't any need to save you."
"Huh, what do you an?"
"Did you forget? I told you before I was going to test you."
"Wasn't the darkness, in the beginning, the test?" Ren was still confused as to what was happening, as his head was aching.
"Wrong, that was just sothing akin to a waiting area. I needed to create the whole scenario with the ORIGIN and not only that I was also heightening your fears and anxieties, so I needed so ti to prepare. That's the reason for that blank area with nothing in it. I also used your mories and how you imagine the ORIGIN to be as the base of my created scenario. Of course, as my reincarnation, you have never experienced such fear before. At that point in the test, many of my reincarnations have already failed, they weren't even able to reach the testing site. Feeling such intense fear for the first ti they had no resistance at all."
"So that's what it was..."
Ren rembered the growing fear he felt at that ti, at first he was confused and he wanted to quit multiple tis but in the end, he did not do so.
"Unlike most who took this test, despite tasting such fear for the first ti you were able to move forward. I even showed you the hidden fear deep in your heart, and that did not stop you. It was so exciting to watch you overco your fears and keep moving onward."
"Then the ORIGIN that I fought was that his real strength?"
"No, it wasn't," when Ren heard the Original say those words, he felt relieved and disappointed, but then the Original continued.
"The power of the ORIGIN is much more powerful than you can imagine. If that was the real ORIGIN then once you were sealed the ORIGIN who is Omnipotent and Omniscient could've destroyed everything with but a thought. There was no need for that cracking each universe thing that took so long."
Now that Ren heard the Original's answer the disappointnt disappeared and he started to beco excited again, as that vicious smile appeared on his face.
"Heh, I can understand what you're feeling right now Ren, but before you get even more excited and want to fight how about I show you the truth that you wanted to know so much."
"The truth?"
"Yes, since you passed the test as promised it's about ti to tell you my story, but since we're reaching the end, I guess it would be fine to show everyone about it." The Original snapped his fingers and the hundreds of thousands of reincarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul appeared in the sa space.
"Everyone, since Ren here has passed the test I decided to show everyone the story of my past. Since my true na cannot be spoken and most of the characters in my story are also the sa, the nas ntioned will be different from their True nas. Now allow to show you an epic tale the story of where it all began."
A huge screen appeared in front of everyone, it was larger than a planet and every incarnation could see it despite how far they were from the screen. After a while a picture on the screen.
...
Erste (the original incarnation's na for now) woke up and looked at the ceiling. It was another day of doing the sa thing he did every single day, wake up, wash up, eat, go to work, co ho, take a bath, eat, and go to sleep. Doing things over and over again, not a single thing changes.
This world was like a well-tuned clock were all the gears sh and flow together. There was only emptiness in this world that was supposed to be a utopia. Even though there were no wars, no fear, no pain, nothing, only progress, but at the sa ti, there was no joy, no excitent, no love, no reason, just nothing but progress. Humans reproduce simply because they need to, they might not have lifespans and stop aging upon reaching a certain age but they are killed quite frequently, so they needed new generations to continue to progress endlessly.
The only thing that changes from day to day was the Gods that would descend upon them and torture the humans in different ways, there were many tis that they wouldn't torture humans but just directly kill them. The humans who do not feel pain or fear could not understand why the Gods do this to them but because they didn't understand it they weren't bothered by it.
One day Erste who continued his daily life like normal saw one of the Gods descend and started attacking so humans. The ones being attacked did not resist or run, the people nearby only glanced at the scene and continued on their way.
This was supposed to be a normal thing that happens every single day, but for so reason, Erste stood at the side and watched. While he was watching the people he sees every day being killed one by one a question suddenly popped into his mind.
'Why?'
It was such a simple question that anyone could have but it was this mont that changed everything, not only for the simple Erste but everything in the original universe.
The God noticed Erste and was about to playfully kill the other party, but unlike all the others present sothing different happened when the God attacked Erste, Erste actually evaded the strike.
"Hoh, what's this an interesting human ca about. Tell human why did you evade my attack?"
"I evaded because I could not understand."
"Couldn't understand, what do you an?"
"I couldn't understand why you were going to kill . I couldn't understand why you were killing everyone. Why are you doing this, what's the point?"
When the God heard Erste's response he was quite shocked, he had seen so humans evade before because of an awakening of so instincts, but after asking the sa question they did not respond and simply allowed themselves to be killed, on the other hand, this was the first ti he has seen a human ask the question why. After a while, the stunned God suddenly laughed.
"You ask why I'm killing the humans I see, it's because I have the power to do so, and I don't really like you humans. You guys are so weak that I can kill you with but a breath, I can never understand why Father (the ORIGIN) cares so much about you guys. You guys infuriate so much you who are weak and worthless why are you so favored?!... Now that you know my reason, let ask you this, why shouldn't I kill you?"
