"Having a body is a curse..."
Anon started to transform himself into a [System].
Anon had learned his lesson. A body can be paralyzed. What does it matter if you are immortal if you spend infinity in isolation?
Anon had experienced destroying his 'ego' and mind repeatedly over billions of years. If you took a watch and smashed it into thousands of pieces. If you then took that watch and jingled it in a bag. How long would it take for it to through sheer coincidence. Fix itself?
That scenario had essentially happened to Anon's consciousness!
"Wait a second..."
"It isn't the body that is a curse. It is the self-awareness. The act of living itself is cruel."
"Regretting the past. Worrying about the future. Forgetting to live in the present."
"Associating things with data."
Anon had five additional seals and soul relics floating around his awareness. An imprint of his consciousness had formed on the seal 'divine sense'.
This was observing this space.
"There is no light particles here. The concept of space, time, and matter don't exist here."
"If it weren't for the foundation of soul fragments I used to construct the seals. I wouldn't even be able to 'see' these relics and seals."
Anon was in a state of observation.
The soul relics had a golden glow and looked to be made of white text. The seals were glowing white and looked like talismans.
Anon expanded his divine sense and layered the seals atop one another. They then started to merge. All sorts of information and ideas that he had when he was trapped in his domain surfaced in his thoughts.
"I had planned to become the system. But what exactly is a system?"
"In the stories I have read. They exist to make the MC unique and have a cheat. This gives the MC advantages that allow them to stand out."
"I have no desire for such games..."
"But dying has proved to be quite difficult."
In the past. Anon had to worry about the aging of his spirit. He was on a clock. But now, it seemed he didn't have such issues.
"I am eternal..."
"For better or worse."
"I will recreate all of reality. I'll get my own version of revenge."
Seal 4: Materializer
Seal 3: Virus
Seal 2: False/True
Seal 1: System Integration
Seal 0: Administrator
Anon fused all the seals and named the output seal 'Seal of Axiom'.
[Seal of Axiom]: Mind over matter.
Anon then became the controller of this seal. He was a talisman floating in nothingness surrounded by the seven soul relics.
"As for you all..."
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
Anon looked at the soul relics.
Anon looked at the cracked text of 'anima ward'.
"I don't need a soul at all!"
He shattered it!
He then manipulated the data and formed a weapon. It was a sword made from data.
"Anima reservoir, generator, manipulator, leap, transmit, revive..."
Anon decided to attack the other soul relics! He used the broken fragments of anima ward to do damage. This process took centuries. But to him, it seemed to pass in an instant.
Soon all the soul relics had been destroyed. There were only fragments left.
"If I understand correctly from the theories of my original world. There exist parallel universes. In some theories, these are nearly identical to one another. But have slightly different outcomes..."
"Outside of the observable universe. There could be an infinite assortment of universes. Some with completely different rules. Just like how I traveled to the world with potentia versus my original reality with no supernatural power."
"I need to make a 'golden finger' that I can tap into no matter what reality I find myself in."
Anon didn't plan to enter a new universe at the moment. That was out of his reach. He planned on creating his own multiverse. He would use the seals power to do so.
Anon could still hear in the background of his mind the word 'axiom' repeating endlessly.
"A ritual..."
"That is how I will 'unlock' my golden finger."
"But I must be wary of others like me. Who knows what sort of weird gods there are in other universes? I was trapped so miserably by a mere 12 in that other world..."
Anon looked at the fragments of 'anima revive'.
He then looked at the fragments of 'anima generator'.
"It breaks the laws of conservation of energy. Where is it getting its energy from? I lack a soul."
"I can use these fragments of the relics to construct an artifact. Just like my seal. But more powerful. Their origin is weird. No. I mustn't do this. I should study the fragments and learn the mechanism behind how they work."
Anon thought that if he understood the principles behind the soul relics. He could 'copy' their effects.
"I have infinite time to study them..."
Anon expanded the 'anima generator' fragments. He was surprised by the amount of data held within. It was a single string of random symbols. These seemed to not be from any language he had ever seen.
But he felt a sense of familiarity from these symbols.
So began his journey to memorize them.
A decade.
A century.
A millennia.
Time didn't matter here.
There were '6,103,772,331,448,955,342,113,853,209' symbols that made up 'anima generator'. This number greatly shocked Anon. He mindlessly memorized all these symbols over an unfathomable amount of time.
His mind was evolving from this process.
"I think I'm beginning to understand..."
Anon reversed the relics function.
"Infinite energy!"
Anon no longer needed to wait to accumulate animaxiom. He now had infinite animaxiom! But he had destroyed the relics and lost his original body. He had money, but nowhere to spend it! What a fate...
Anon's comprehension of the trillions of years had evolved to a shocking level. If such a thing were possible and he was in the right environment. He would've comprehended laws! He would've been able to break the very rules of the world.
But there were no rules to break here.
There was simply nothing!
But with infinite energy. Anon was able to do something he previously couldn't. There was previously a limit to the storage capabilities before.
But now. His storage was essentially 'infinite'.
He could afford to waste energy to boost his thinking speed. He could essentially create an infinite assortment of threads to think for him.
By using the infinite energy. Within a few milliseconds. He had decoded all of the logic of the remaining soul relic fragments.
"These were definitely designed by me."
Anon learned something shocking from deducing these relics.
"I have already done this before? I have grasped infinity?"
Anon mentally chuckled.
"Spending centillions of years 'dead' and transforming into some sort of eldritch entity."
"Then giving myself the keys to do it all again!"
In an instant. The space of nothingness flashed with blinding light. Trillions of specks of metallic dust were swept in a vortex as they formed towers.
What did these towers represent? They were 'servers'. An infinite display of towers and a world made of metal. A concrete jungle one could say.
A metropolis for a single person. It was constructed in an instant.
"Who am I?"
The entire reality was shaking. Anon could hear in the background of his mind.
"I am..."
The reality surrounding him condensed into a single point. Infinite processing power contained in something so small a mortal wouldn't even be able to see it.
Anon had sufficient practice attempting to create a universe with his sea of consciousness.
"Axiom!"
The speck expanded! A void was born! A world millions of times larger then earth was created. A sky covered in blackness. Many stars were constructed.
That world was like a grain of sand as many more worlds were born.
But all of this was contained in a sphere. This sphere then split like a cell dividing. It then multiplied until there were an infinite assortment of them!
These then overlapped in space.
Entangled and existing all at once!
It was a world constantly slipping between realities...
"I think it is time to start..."
