Tears, anguish, regret, and a pain in the ass.
That's pretty much how the experiment went.
A bit more cruel than I would have thought, I suppose once you gave maggots the identity of what were your perceivable species and closeness in circumstances, you just can't help but feel a bit sorry for them even of what they were. Such is the simpleness of the human mind. But I suppose they can now rest in the great Nothingness, erased along with the recreated Universal simulation.
In this play and subsequent experiment, I've learned several things. One, I'm still quite human, psychologically speaking, but that seems to slowly change the more I realize my nature, and my Mind just seems to 'naturally' ascend to a higher level of consciousness or at least I feel less and less 98.8% monké every time I do something 'infinitely bigger' than the human that I was can ever hope to accomplish. But mayhaps, my ego is just matching what I can now do, thus exponentially inflate it goes — the human mind tends to be like that after all.
And speaking of something that I can now do, the second thing I learned is that I now can recreate an entire fucking Universe at a whim. Which now brings me to the last discovery — I may be Omnipotent.
Even if I'm not, I've confirmed myself to be practically Nigh-Omnipotent at this point. Single toe-pinkly defeating that army of the fodder Hell Spawns I reaped through like they were nothing, Eldritch Things which I ended all generations of even with their Relativistic-Time hax, and Dimensional Horrors that could have destroyed an entire fucking continent of the New Earth, which was the size of a million stars with its trillions of army full of powerful individuals, had led me to believe this.
That for real, could very well be an interlude of a Caclysmic scenario where innumerable lives are lost yet I fucking played them like a fiddle or how a child would do to a helpless ant. Speaking of cataclysmic, there is no way a mere Dark Red Gate should be able to spawn that much Abomination. Even one of those Dimensional Worms could have annihiliated a Continent yet there were thousands of them...
I sense conspiracy.
An army reserve for an invasion perhaps? Maybe another one of those Dimensional Overlords from Extra-Dimensions or Other Universes came to invade again. Either way, the Empire and its Imperial Knights sure do have a lot of work to do soon and shit would soon go brrr...
Eh, not that I care all that much. This shit happens at least once every year or so, they even have festivals about it at this point. And I've always survived then, much less now. End of the World scenarios are just that frequent of an occasion in this world I suppose.
Anyways, done with the army of Horrors and Abomination, I blinked and erased all their traces as if they were not even here as I returned the battlefields of spatially expanded skies of the island to normal before people started flying again and suddenly got caught up in an endless span, flying for an eternity till they slowly decay psychologically then physically...
Mn, I guess I should really be careful with these things. Funny how these concepts work, imagine just merrily flying and suddenly you can't reach a place that seems so near yet when you actually try to cross the distance — so eternally far.
Yet here I am, just a little over a week ago can't even walk a few miles without sweat dripping down my balls and heavy breathing feeling like I'd pass out any moment, but now, I could just casually cross eternity by simply thinking I could. And I don't even have to give two shits about it. I could very well just take it for granted and not even mention it at all and facts will still be facts as it is what it is in all angles of speculation.
So having returned the place to how it was, I removed the abyssal robe on me along with the swords as I returned them to Null. Then I erased and repainted myself inside of my Private Universe which I shall call Elexium, slouching on a golden throne made out of comfortable and comforting Divine Light, high above my very own version of the Nine Realms of Asgard that sits within the fruits of the Tree of Yggdrasil and opposite to it, my very own version of the gargantuan Mount Olympus the size of a million mountains I shaped and formed with some artistic freedom which honestly made it look like a giant golden turd.
Private Universe was not an exaggeration, well, at this point I don't think anything I say should be taken as an exaggeration. To be safe, I've severed the connection of Elexium to any Verse or any Dimensional Continuum really. Was and Now, it is its very own lone Continuum. Thus a Private Universe.
As for that park where it was? Well, I'm just getting to that part.
You see, over these past dozen minutes of 'playing', I've realized something — I could just leave the orphanage now.
With this in mind, I continued dangling my feet on my throne as tall as the heavens suspended above my very own Universe, eating stick after stick of tasty high-quality meat barbeque to rejuvenate myself as I simultaneously created an 'official identity' for myself and made that very park where my 'new home base' shall stand in my OG Universe.
At some point, after having my fill of divine quality meat from the Cultivation World which was truly as divine as the tales go, I fell asleep on my big comfortable throne that I turned into Nothing in the last waking second as I fell into a vast land of soft tangible golden clouds...
I suppose I was pretty exhausted.
This body, although illogical at times, was still human after all...

◇⏳️◇
I slap the ass of Ms.Time in my dreams as she passes within Elexium, the passing of which I made to parallel the Universe I came from, even with the total lack of connection.
I wake up with the clouds on my face that I made unable to suffocate me, hence I can breathe in the All-Purpose Divine Sustenance that became an alternative of air to all 'comfortable sleeping positions' I put myself in. My ever-waking internal clock says that it's been about ten hours since I fell asleep and Ms. Reality confirmed it to be the case, so I suppose it's already nearing daybreak in the OG Universe.
I never slept so well in my life, I feel so rested and refreshed.
Sleeping after physically 'exerting' yourself and filling your stomach with good food really hits differently.
Maybe I should start exercising like that regularly.
Speaking of exercise, I wonder if I should change this body. I mean, it's a human body made out of human DNA and matter with no speck nor sign of any innate Power alright. Well, it's slowly changing with all the divine quality food with their own energy I'm eating, especially from the ones from Cultivation Worlds, and add that to this air-like sustenance that is not-air I'm breathing to enrich my every cell and turning it to something divine, but Ideal-factly speaking, it's still a human body.
What if I give myself an Absolute Physique that could tear Universes asunder with the tip of my pinky, tank any and all attack on a Multiversal scale, and even adapt to any hax to an unimaginable degree, like what the caped egg-head has times infinity?
Hmm...
But now that the thought's in the mind for a few more seconds, if I have the ability to give myself such a ridiculous ability, why have it in the first place if I could just directly manipulate Reality instead of doing it in such indirect means?
For example, I can't destroy the Universe with a fart because that would be a ridiculous thing to even think about as the Universe is much too vast and multifaceted and I don't have the farting power to do so, and that's just the reality of it. But if I can just manipulate reality anyway, then why can't I just make it so that the entire Universe would be completely 'blown away' the moment I fart even without giving myself the 'logical' strength to do so? After all, the body is like a medium through which you interact with reality, almost every living being can only interact with reality because they have a body...
But I don't need anything to interact with reality, I could just do so directly.
After all...
I could simply ignore poor Ms. Logic in all its forms and levels.
Yeah... I've come to that conclusion by the ironic yet fitting term of 'logical elimination' — I've realized that if my nature does not rest in the composition of my Body nor my Mind, not Soul, and according to Ms. Reality, not even my very Ideal Essence that lies at the very nucleus of Intrinsic Identity which belongs to one of the most complex concepts in existence known as Identity, but something else entirely...
As for what manner of else that is? Well, let's just say I can't explain it in any of the endless vocabulary of all ever-growing numbers of the infinite number of languages. It's not at all explainable by something logical like linguistics nor can my, for now, human-like Mind could even begin to fathom. Though, I doubt any Mind, even the very concept itself, is capable of understanding it. I mean, Ms. Reality sure couldn't, the only thing she can give as information, in fact, is just that: 'It's something else entirely'.
So, came the question, should I let my Body, Mind, Soul, and Essence stay human?
I mean, it is of no consequence in the grand scheme of things really, by just thinking I could: I could body slam an entire Universe and it goes brrrr without a single scratch on me, face infinite Eldritch Horrors with my Mind and they'll be the ones gazing at true horror, render every Soul-erasing ability absolutely ineffective against me as I did to the 'feeble' Mind-fucking abilities of those Abominations, and have no Essence at all yet still paradoxically exist...
All without changing my current State of Existence.
Still, even if that may be so, if you can anyway, isn't it tempting to change your Body, Mind, Soul, and the whole shebang that is the State of your Existence just to see what it would feel like to be such?
Like, you see, I've never really been the tallest or brightest kid in the block and I've always wondered what it would be like to be a little bit taller and smarter, to see things from up there. Just this simple shift, even if by a few inches, in perception would completely change someone's entire narrative. The view they couldn't see before is now within their view, the things they can't reach now within reach, and realizations relating to the changed aspect will come like enlightenment which I think should be as exciting as that moment I took a bite of that first cheeseburger and realized I could now eat whatever I want...
Mn, a choice between doing and not doing something just for the heck of it wouldn't be much of a choice, is it?
I guess I'll be conducting some 'experiments' later then.
Having started my morning with this random series of thoughts, I decided to finally get up and create a washroom around me and started brushing my teeth as I continued to dwell on the topic. After brushing my teeth, I turned the washroom into a bathroom and started showering as I cleaned myself off of filth with Divine Soap that annihilates everything unholy like germs and filth on my body even though I had none in the first place as I had willed it as such.
Additionally, the soap feels good on the skin as it eliminates all blemishes on my body like my growing number of 'puberty facial decorations' aka acne, blockheads, and everything in between. Even eliminated that horizontal scar on my knee from a Horned Rabbit attack when I was four and the burn scar on my foot when one of the orphanage kids dropped their fireball on it and even restored my lost pinky toe that was eaten by a slime when I fell asleep on what I thought was a peaceful grassy field. Hell, maybe it 'washed away' sins as well or something.
Most importantly, it smells very divine indeed and so am I now, maybe this is how the unbiblical angels smell like. Well, it certainly is the same ones they use.
Anyways, I suppose that's enough soap for my ass crack, neither region and armpits, so washing myself off with equally Divine Water straight from the Cultivation World that supposedly washes away all my impurity with divine comfort. Umu feels warm and comfortably divine indeed!
Supposedly it's the tears of a Universe. Well, Tears of the Universe, I suppose you could say "Hello" to my little friend.
Hahaha~!
This feels the best~!
The first bit of luxury sure is something.
There's nothing like the first time I suppose.
Having pushed enough Divine Water up my ass, I warped the place and turned it into a picturesque hot spring on the hillside of Dung Olympus with free-flowing Divine Water that glitters in silver light like the countless stars above the ever-midnight sky and blends with the farms of holy mountains below Dung Olympus that emits divine lights below.
Sitting at the edge of the hot spring pool, immovable by the gentle currents, I gaze at the newly-created rising Iridescent Star that acts as the Sun of Elexium, rising between the arrays of mountains left and right full of fields of beautiful trees and flowers, looking like it's coming out of a hairy butt crack.
Resting my elbow on the barricade as I stare at the rising sun, I ponder in quick mental math how long it would take for my body, mind, and soul, to just naturally and passively ascend one day in these divine conditions like how the evolution of monké to humans were...
Eh, maybe I already ascended and I didn't even notice because I was already psychologically feeling so powerful that something like an ascension felt like usual. You know, kinda like always feelin' like shit and then you actually got sick and it just feels another Monday to you.
But let's not talk about sickness and feeling shit, because right now, those words are nowhere near the one I'd use for what I'm currently feeling...
I feel great~!
Maybe a bit mellow, and...
High as a kite, but great~!
