Chapter 41, Familial Memories
----------------------------------------
...
Lokreum stepped through reality, Julius in toe.
The two arrived in a dark expanse, no signs of any life, or anything at all for that matter.
"This is a newborn reality. No Laws are present. No magics. No powers. Not even any matter. This is just a simple space, guarded by ethereal walls of reality." Lokreum explained, pointing off to the murky colors, light years away.
"I see..." Julius replied, flexing his arms a few times as he felt the strange weight around them.
"Like I said, there are no Laws present, so your False Laws will be of no use at all. Your Natural Laws will barely even work." The feeling was explained to him.
Pretty much, he held no power here except for that of his lifeforce, his kreus.
Thankfully, as a level 15 existence, his kreus alone was enough to shift realities.
"Greetings, O' great Heavenly Father!" A voice sounded from behind Julius, Lokreum side eyeing the new entrants as he tried to figure out how exactly he was going to go about forming this new realm.
"Kieron. Alexandria." Lokreum nodded, the three heavily examining their surroundings.
"Hello Father." Alexandria said, Julius turning to see those whom he would be working with.
"What?..." Julius questioned, staring at the all too familiar entity before him.
"God of Creation?" He whispered, attributing the name Alexandria to the figure before him.
"Hello, Julius. Long time no see." The figure spoke, her form changing as she became a real woman. Long white and green hair draping down her back, as Julius actually gazed upon an entirely different, yet still familiar face.
"You're... You're the anomaly! You were the level 14!" Julius exclaimed, shock shooting throughout his entire body!
Back when the Eldratic Gods invaded the Outer Reality, Julius was able to get a glimpse of fate, and glance upon the identity of the only other level 14 existence that seemed to be fighting for the same cause as him.
It was a strange woman that held just a fraction of human blood, which was allowed for his perception of her.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Yet, why was the God of Creation, and this woman, one in the same?
When he read fate, it was clear to him that the woman was not some singularity that was born at the start of history. In fact, she was an experiment created just a few dozen Astronomical Years before the Apocalypse!
"YOU PLAYED ME?" Julius roared, his kreus flaring up for a moment.
"Calm yourself... Her potential is simply higher than yours, she was created to surpass all limits. You were created to conquer realms. You two are fundamentally different." Lokreum spoke, his hand raised to the human next to him.
"You won the battle but lost the war, you can live with defeat." He finished, dropping his hand as Julius collected himself.
A devilish smile appeared on the humans face, his mouth opening.
"Hmm, correct. I applaud you. I've never lost before..." He voiced, boasting at the same time.
Alexandria nodded, not caring much for the prideful words of Julius. Truly, only the opinion of Lokreum, and possibly Kieron mattered in her eyes.
The small portion of Sage's personality was left within her, making it to where her true goal was to impress her lord and Father, hoping she could stay by his side for the rest of eternity.
Though of course, Lokreum wouldn't see it that way.
"With the greetings over, perhaps I should explain what we're doing here..." Lokreum said, glancing at every person present.
"Kieron, you're here because... Well, you are my right hand of course. Your creativity is nearly unmatched within the Infinite Realities. Me and you together could create some of the most beautiful things within existence!" Kieron puffed out his chest.
"Alexandria you are simply... You are creative too, but in a different way. Kieron can shape beauty within objects, or people. You can form it within concepts! Power systems, rankings, things of that nature... The way you formulate Deified Laws is intriguing." Alexandria tilted her head to the side, a small blush appearing on her face.
"As for you, Julius... Simply put, you're a fool." Lokreum chuckled, making Julius tilt his head in confusion. "You are... the most human, of all humans. You embody emotion, willpower, and heart. You follow your desires and strive to attain them. You are what life is meant to be. So how could I create a realm, without an existence to shape the inhabitants after?" Julius understood, taking the insult with a grain of salt.
"Besides for these key aspects of your personalities, you are all also very powerful and experienced. Each of you have lived for millions of years, and have experienced many things most are not privy to."
"So, with all of your wisdom. We will start off small, ruling just one singular world. A Quartet of gods, governing a planet! You will all create something, be it Alexandria forming the laws of this reality, Kieron shaping the world itself, or Julius engineering the inhabitants of the world. You all have your own purpose, and you may choose to do what you wish."
"We will create a place full of history and wonder, create legends that can be worshipped, myths that those of the future will praise! And don't forget to create a religion and spread it, it's a free source of Faith essence to increase your power." Lokreum finished, looking at the smile on all of his children's faces.
Who in their right mind would pass up on the opportunity to shape a world alongside the father of everything!
Kieron, Alexandria, and even Julius knew for a fact, they would cherish the memories they were about to make.
