YM778.TV Chapter 563 - Conversation During Battle
"How about you stop reminiscing and start telling me how to win."
"How impatient, surely you\'re having a blast fighting in such a dire situation."
Ren didn\'t respond as what the original incarnation said was correct. He was indeed feeling a thrill like no other as he barely dodged an attack that could kill him. The wounds on his body were slowly accumulating and his mana supply, as well as his Spirit Aura, were being drained so fast that if the battle continues a few more days his massive amounts of Spiritual Energy would be fully drained. He was so close to death, that the death scythe in his hands became harder to control.
If he had a choice he never wanted to cheat and ask the original incarnation for advice. He wanted to fight this battle on his own merit and if he were to lose then so be it, but unfortunately, Ren knew what was at stake here. He wasn\'t allowed to die until he could face the ORIGIN.
After a moment of silence between the two, the original incarnation continued what he was going to say.
"If I was in your position just a casual swing of my sword and this New God alongside the branch of the ORIGIN would be destroyed. Back in my day people with the seeds and branches of the ORIGIN were nothing more than footmen. My companions and I would kill thousands of those on a daily basis in the war. I can\'t believe eons after those days, one of my own incarnations would have difficulty defeating one of them. The reincarnation cycle was supposed to strengthen a person after every death but it seems like I\'m the only one who never got stronger. Did I perhaps make a mistake in the initial creation of the reincarnation system?"
The original incarnation then started to mumble to himself.
"Is anyone else there that could help me? What happened to Edge, and Leo? Surely they know how to kill this thing."
The original incarnation\'s train of thought was stopped when he heard Ren\'s question, he then looked at the people who were laying on his feet and chuckled.
"Don\'t bother looking for other people to answer you, right now they\'re unable to respond since I\'m the only one standing in here."
"Then can you just tell me the answer already, so that I can concentrate on my fight? If you\'re not going to answer and just continue to babble then can you just stop talking?"
"Hmph, if you were strong enough I wouldn\'t need to waste my time talking to you. I\'ll give you an answer when I feel like it. I will also continue talking since I want to."
"What happened to you, where you always like this?"
Ren asked confused since the original incarnation in his memory was a dignified person who was always serious and spoke sparingly. This person who was talking sounded like the original incarnation but he felt like a different person.
\'Don\'t tell me he\'s also being corrupted?... That would mean that I\'m also being corrupted.\'
"You do know I can literally hear your thoughts. Also, I\'m not getting corrupted by the ORIGIN, that\'s not possible. The ones who would get corrupted are those of the God race or any that share their blood. If even the mortals get corrupted that would mean that the ORIGIN has truly fallen to insanity. As for us, even if every single being in the multiverse gets corrupted, we will remain untainted by the corruption."
Before Ren could respond, he got hit by khalos but was able to counter. Once the two got some distance from each other Ren stopped using the death scythe and switched to Snertal.
"Why aren\'t we affected by the corruption?" Ren asked as he charged towards Khalos with Snertal.
"My soul, no our soul has transcended the grip of our creator. We are no longer part of the flow of fate of this multiverse. Still, even though were are no longer part of it we can change it and poke around here and there. This is why the ORIGIN\'s omniscience doesn\'t work on us or anyone related to us. As for his omnipotence well if he were to escape the prison I made for him back then he could easily wipe out all the universes."
"Huh, a prison?"
"In my final battle against the ORIGIN, not only was I able to seriously injure him but I was able to seal him in a space that wasn\'t connected to any of his universes. It was a place that wasn\'t created by him."
"If that\'s true then who was the one I\'ve seen before?"
"That\'s just his avatar, at most its level is the same as an ancient God. If he were truly here in this place then everything would\'ve ended. The only reason he hasn\'t escaped after all this time must be because of the wound I inflicted upon him."
There was a hint of pride in the original incarnation\'s voice as he spoke those words.
"... Alright that\'s all fascinating and all that but care to explain what happened to your personality?"
"Oh that, this is how I originally am. After sparring with all my reincarnations I finally remembered and felt things I have long forgotten. Also, since the final battle is nearing I decided to toss aside the facade."
"Okay, then now that we had a nice long conversation how about telling me what I need to know."
"Hmm, not yet. If you listened to me two days ago then I would\'ve given you a way out, but now I\'ll watch you suffer a bit before telling."
"Tsk, fine let\'s do it your way!" Ren no longer spoke to the original incarnation as he continued fighting Khalos.. On the other hand, the original incarnation kept on bothering him with stories of his valor.
