Chapter 2

The devolved soul woke up from it’s ‘slumber’ and looked at the being in front. It felt a gentle tug, much like the tug to it’s ascension, calling it to the being and merge with it.

But, before the soul could even move it was stopped, mobility stolen by the ethereal being. The soul snapped out of it’s daze and retained it’s sentience, gaining it’s sense of danger and awareness. But, the being merely smiled a gentle smile as though the soul was its kin and child.

“Do not fear me child. I am but a form of your so called ‘God’. I believe you have many questions which will be answered in due time.”

The soul didn’t think much less move as it wanted to gather as much information as possible on the unfathomable being or God. It didn’t wish to blame “God” for the mistakes that humanity made nor did it want to condemn for humanity’s sake.

“Arthur, I have called upon your soul to impart a part of my knowledge regarding the situation of this universe. Come forth.”

The soul or Arthur did not defy and as though a lost child finally finding its parent, gleefully rushed to the ‘God’. The Astral God reached out a makeshift hand to Arthur’s mind, touching it for impartation of it’s knowledge.

A bell chime rang out in Arthur’s mind, both melodious and ear-piercing, forcing Arthur to yell with all his being. The process of dissolving the knowledge required Arthur’s mind to be destroyed then reformed to a vessel worthy of a higher being.

In the meantime, Arthur saw the dawn of age, evolution and time when a big bang created from God’s birth. Pure energy evolving to form the current cosmic energy and the first world, solar system and dimension had all been a wonderous experience for Arthur who had been a mortal not long ago.

Time started with a heartbeat, Laws started with a second, Astral Energy formed from the third. The First, Origin World and its Star formed when God’s heart had been created.

Then, the infant immortal child and first being opened it’s eyes, ‘seeing’ it’s creation. ‘It’ clapped its hands together, causing the Big Bang, dawning the first evolutions of primates and clones of itself.

All of life, formed from God bloomed with life energy, filling the entire universe with wonders and beauty, just waiting to be discovered. ‘It’ soon created Karma, Luck, Life, Death, the four main principles of the universe.

After trillions of years, it grew bored of it’s creations which led to it’s descision to act as an inhabitant in all habitable worlds. It was happy, but became endorsed in a small world called ‘Earth’ and it’s features.

It was also surprised with their concept of Gods and creation of the universe as these ‘humans’ were exceptionally close to the ‘real’ truth. It had tried, many times to push these humans forward, many of which resulted in failures but some a dire success.

Those of which resulted in failure was due to humanity’s ignorance, arrogance and lack of trust in the unknown. God had also gifted humanity with many frutious encounters such as Newton’s famous ‘fall of an apple’ or Einstein’s sudden enlightenment on the theory of relativity.

Arthur had witnessed, himself the look of joy and excitement on the Astral Being’s face as it continued tempering with the fate of ‘mortals’ until it realized it’s mistake.

The being had went too far. Although, it had created the four principles of the universe, it had no authority over the mortal’s will, thoughts and actions. Greed, Lust, Pride, Envy, Sloth, Wrath, had appeared in the mortals which led to World War 1.

Furthermore, similar problems had appeared in various worlds all over the universe. The only world that had escaped the claws of the sins was the first world that was ever created, Origin.

Very soon, as technology and magic had reached it’s peak, interplanetary travels had been made possible which led to the first Inter-solar realm war had broke out. The Godly Being was grieved by it’s actions and did whatever it could to stop the war, from the shadows.

But, it had failed. The Being then, grew angry at the mortal wars and their child-like sins which drove it to interfere the war.

Time had stopped.

Every form of life and nature that had achieved superior intelligence held their head high to look at the oddity (or) phenomenon that was unfolding before their eyes.

A miniature form of the being was slowly created as a swirling vortex of universal energy surrounded it. All laws of the universe, both ancient and advanced, seemed to have been defied.

All of the sentient beings felt a tug of their soul, much like Arthur’s first encounter with the Being, towards the unknown. Some even fell down on their knees and prayed to the great unknown, belittling their superior intelligence.

“ Hear Me! All that have participated in this fruitless ‘war’, cease all conflicts and lay it extinct for eternity. Act worthy of your wisdom and intelligence that I have gifted upon creation. Do not defy my words or you will be subjected to the most hurtful of all pains and fall to the deepest of hell. Remember, Do not defy my words….”

The Being then shifted to it’s original miasma of universal energy as time resumed like nothing had happened. But, the witnessers still stared in stupor and awe at the long gone Astral Being which transcended every expectations and limits, once thought to be impossible.

They realized that there would always be someone or something better than them out there, somewhere… The thing that had clouded their judgement and reason dissipated, making their view and perspective wider.

Slowly, but surely Creation was undergoing evolution to a higher existence of itself. The Interfere of God was a spark in the Grand Evolution, which forever changed everything.

Arthur woke up with a grunt as pain, again, followed swiftly after. The pain slowly subsided as Arthur questioned his entire being and part in the Grand Scale of the Universe.

“Do not fret, child for you are still but a mere cub. I will grant you a chance to break out of your shell or ‘limits’. But by doing so, you will lose your humanity. Will you accept?”

“I…I will accept!”

The Being chuckled, even without a mouth, clearly pleased with the answer of the young mortal. It once again reached out a hand but this time, the hand molded into just a finger.

Arthur complied and reached out his tiny finger to meet it’s bigger self. When their fingers touched, Arthur felt his essence dissipating…no teleporting to somewhere. Arthur surprisingly, did not panic nor felt surprised.

“ Farewell, Human for we will meet very soon. Do not disappoint me with your actions.”

After Arthur finally disappeared, the Astral Being released a long sign, indicating it had been released of it’s taxing hobby.

“Acting like a benevolent God sure is tiring. Screw this, Mary! Mary, where is my collection of animes, I wish to watch DxD one last time before I sleep.”

Soon, an android look alike of Hatsune Miku appeared with a face of scowl and contempt, clearly for it’s creator.

“Master, you broke your collection of animes when you threw a tantrum over Ace’s death in one piece…..”

God: “…….”
