"Ah Shit, I fucked up."
A figure of a person with a dog for a face said. His eyes glowing in crimson light as it's expression indicating frustration. A big one at that. His steps moving back and forth within the room as his large hands touching his chin. His tail wagging and an aura of rage vibrating in the room.
"I'm an idiotic moron! I might have unleashed 2012 in mankind!! Crap, crap, crap, crap!!"
The man has made a very huge mistake. One that could possibly finish humanity in just a few seconds. His eyes stares down to the black floor once more. Despite the floor being completely blank and normal, the truth couldn't be possibly more far from that. His eyes are capable of seeing the souls of mankind. Knowing their time left on earth for the reaping requires the ability to see each soul on earth and knowing their activities. This exact ability was the one that made him learn of the current problem earth has. Which are hundreds of unnecessary deaths.
Hundreds of people dies in accidents nowadays. Ones that has their souls not yet even ready for the reaping. After all, if one whose time isn't ready yet was forced to the judgement of value, they will have a higher chance of living in hell for a thousand years until they will realize the value of life and would be returned to earth again with a new memory. If one however, lived their life completely, they can chose three choices. One would be to go straight to heaven and take a rest, second would be to reincarnate to do what they want to do, and third would be a ghost but otherwise known as a "Guardian Angel" to ensure the luck and satisfaction of their family and friends for future generations.
These people that have died with their life not completed however were sent to worlds they desired. With a quick scan of their desires in their heart and mind, an ideal universe is created for them to live happily until their soul is ready. Such is what happened with various heroes in stories known for their legends.
Yet, despite that their desires were concluded, the wills of the souls were still left on earth, making it a place filled with miasma that slowly but surely takes the lifespan of the planet itself, making the restoration of the natural resources being difficult.
This phenomenon was studied for years and three possible reasons were taken on how these people died.
One would be the Killer Theory
A person would be killed in an accidental stab or shooting. With the timing being purely coincidental and the events being surprising(such as people that the person has barely met before suddenly appearing, or the person itself suddenly changing) A broken lifeline is created.
The second theory, The Accidental theory
A person would be killed by accidents made by other gods that may perhaps have been done intentionally. Accidents such as lightning strikes, or just even unexpected surprises. This behavior wasn't really thought much however as the gods themselves does the countermeasures themselves, thus saving time for Anubis.
The third is the most infamous of all. Car accidents. This has been going on for years. This is something that Anubis has been facepalming for a while now. He has realized that humanity has no hope for being smarter. The reasons? The deaths of people thinking they are smartass and having monologues of them "suddenly reacting without them knowing" is more than a hundred.
MORE THAN A FUCKING HUNDRED.
Its like their ages are just kinder-fucking-garten while thinking as if they are heroes. Like, "forget that I'm a teenage kid that lived for 12+ years now and let's think like we are protagonists!"
And protagonists they did.
Someone even died and shouted "Geronimo!" As he was flattened brutally by a truck. Such faith would be impossible to redeem.
Speaking about trucks, most car accidents were done by infamous trucks from companies. Apparently, their size and speed being so unrealistic most of the time since people DON'T FEEL THE SLOW RUMBLING AS THEY APPROACH AND THE SLIGHT SPEED LIMIT, which by the way, SHOULD HAVE MADE THEM SLOWER THAN AN AVERAGE CAR FOR THESE HUGE-ASS MOTHERFUCKERS!
But it's fine. The first humans never learned of the existence of fire even when the sun was burning things and volcanoes were exploding like fireworks in new years and July the fourth. It's fine, after all, The humans fought for Lands and religions like killing and torturing millions just for getting barely 1/5 of their original land. And now, humans actually thinking that the earth is flat and the moon being a hoax.
Anubis has even remembered the time when the Creator raged and has almost sent millions of disasters to destroy the world. It was stopped though and only a few got released. One of these few is known as the Harvey Hurricane and it was even minimized to a scale perhaps possible for them to at least survive.
The reason was said that The creator have created and studied the other universes for years and made our universe with great caution and extreme details. Such answers how earth has millions of different kinds of animals, plants, landscapes, elements, energy, and more. He was barely able to make these under 7 days. Thus making our universe the most perfect yet.
Such a thing was said to be a hoax and they even had the dare to pass the blame to the Creator. Like humanity hasn't learned hardwork at all.
Creator Ragequitted and left the management to the lesser gods.
Anyway, back to the topic. The excess energy from the remaining lifelines of souls have been too much in earth. He feared that perhaps, the energy would overcome the balance of the atmosphere and thus evolve the humans.
Humanity evolving may not be a good thing in 2018. He just saw a man taking a video of a dead guy last week. He just knows that if humanity evolves, they might make it worse.
He thought of changing the structure of the energy, yet he instead unleashed a massive heatwave on some places in the east. Several people have even died of heatstroke. He regretted this decision.
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
His final decision is to send the energy back to him. Yet due to the rule of "To not interfering into the human world at all cost", He needed a hundred years to slowly do so in a hidden fashion. But the scientists are starting to navigate and discover this energy as a new element.
Which is a terrible idea since technically, they are doing a matrix if they do so.
Thus, he needs to take the energy as fast as possible. In order to do so, he requires a vessel to accept and store it.
Living things are out of the question. They will explode. It also needs to have as high space as possible yet not getting too heavy and not too large that people would over react to it. It should also be mobile enough for him to control without people noticing.
What could possibly be such an item?
Aha!
A truck!
He thought of possessing one and just storing the energy within the container since the matter of it isn't really large. And then controlling it to move on a countryside, sending a hurricane to carry it up and creating a quick portal to his place.
Of course, he thought of course that it is kinda ridiculous. But he compared it to the other candidate, which is a building.
He is a genius.
So he did the plan. For the truck, he chose the one most infamous in earth. A truck owned by a company named "Track Carriers: The Carriers following your Tracks" which is a delivery company that gotten bankrupt a few months ago. The reasons being that company was notorious for their trucks having malfunctions and killing more than a hundred people internationally. After a while, apologizing was deemed impossible as most of the officials was imprisoned and the company abandoned. It wasn't touched though, as they said that it was cursed. Thus making the company just the same as before, with only one truck left on the back standing with only the lightest damage.
Despite the truck being the one mostly recovered, it's the truck that was known more for the killings though. It was the one first started the spree and was at first hidden and changed the plate number several times. After a while, it was decided that it's too dangerous to use it anymore but were unable to think of destroying it due to the commotion it would give. So it was hidden under a warehouse. Unfortunately, the company would still rack deaths on their other vehicles. Making them just really unlucky.
The truck was just left alone with a massive death counts of 67.
Anubis chose this because if there's anything that is worth the destruction, it would be this.
Of course, problems happened.
Just as Anubis happily stored the energy to the empty container, he was surprised.
He expected hundreds, not millions of it. He didn't even thought of it, which was his mistake.
He didn't thought that Gods would be corrupted and hide the dead from him.
Like reincarnating is a normal thing already for the gods in his plane. As if they don't know what other else possible solutions than go and reincarnating people for their personal enjoyment. As if people cannot possibly make other stories other than reincarnation. Like, there are other forms of entertainment. Looking at romance and actions in the realm was good! Actors are pretty amazing down there as they did even sci-fi shit!
Can't they stop killing people and reincarnating them for their own interests? So cancerous...
As for the humans...
It's like people have been killing themselves for years and has barely even gave themselves a chance to live their lives at all. Energy sucked into the container like volcano, light that looks like aurora have been pouring to the warehouse and people have been talking about it for an hour now. The police cannot enter the room though as they were throws back immediately if they tried.
Good plan of not getting noticed. Now the whole world knows.
He has been pushing away the people since earlier to somehow not care deaths as much as possible. They are getting nauseous though, and that is indeed bad. He has already tried to stop the container from sucking, yet it didn't work.
The container is now sucking the energy on it's own.
The truck is alive. The energy is making it do so. The energy is filled with life after all. Normally, only hundreds wouldn't make it actually live. But Thats not the case this time. It's MILLIONS. Millions of unfinished souls. Such an amount would be more than enough to not just make a truck explode. It would merge with the atomic skeletal system of it. Creating a toxic atmosphere from the rusting metal of the truck. The explosion of the blast would immediately kill 1 billion of humanity's population, and there's still after effects.
"I seriously fucked up!!!" He screamed. His mind now thinking of other methods he can possibly do. He is literally freaking out now. He doesn't know how else he can solve it.
If only it's a living thing. Humans are also played by Gods and sometimes sent to another world directly. Making them experience either hell or paradise for the God's satisfaction.
It may be cruel but then he could probably do the usual and send it into a parallel universe. Where the energy can be contaminated properly and can be nurtured into a controllable state.
The only way to save it is to beg for help to the other gods. He must throw away his pride as a whole and just beg for it. They should help, everything's at stake after all.
Just as he was about to teleport himself and awake the others to stop the situation, something amazing happened.
The truck... is changing.
The truck turned into something like goo. It sucked into itself like some kind of mini-black hole surfaced within it. Voices of millions of people from souls echoed throughout the building. Their transparent and foggy figures circulating the hole. One by one, they get sucked inside in a warm light.
After absorbing, it became a small metallic ball. Changing colors like a prism yet still containing that metallic hue.
Others may not notice it but Anubis knows. It's life. The very essence of life. The thing the Creator used to create the very first form of life on earth. He then just noticed the other possibility.
"The energy may unite as the remaining lives just want to live completely anyway. It would stop the uncontrollable state and instead just become a new matter... creating a pseudo-life essence, filled with the desire to live..."
Anubis was amazed, amused at the revelation. But he quickly shook his head, telling himself to snap out of it.
He didn't take much time as he immediately entered and took the essence, then he fled. He knows that the Gods have noticed it. The overwhelming aura of this thing. Such a power could be terrifying. Even surpassing the Creator himself.
He must protect It. He cannot afford to lose it foolishly. He must not let them get it.
But to where? Well, he already has planned it. Just as he thought earlier, he will go and hide within a parallel universe. But to one more different and puny under the thousands of massive ones the others has created. That way, they can hide. For at least, a long time.
But he knows. He knows that he cannot hide for long. Such a massive power cannot be hidden for too long. That's why he won't waste this thing.
He focuses all his divine energy to shape the essence. A shape of a human. One that can live on and strive to become stronger.
But Its fighting Gods... what can a mere human possibly do? He already knows how stupid humans are. So why bother?
Such a thought clouded his mind. But he didn't took it to heed. After all, he has already saw the true nature of humans just now.
The will to live. To live even if death prevented so.
Maybe it's that will that made the humans live for millions of years despite their stupidity. Even when they rejected God, they were still able to survive, no matter what the cost.
Such a thing is already so amazing for him.
He may be the God of Death but he'll try. He'll have to try. To believe in this will.
