Chapter 249: From Death’s POV

[1st Person - Death]

Walking through the infinite halls of the Akashic Library was an experience that one such as I did not get to do very often. Only a few times in my untold billions of years worth of life, have I ever set foot in these halls.

And I was doing it with the woman that had captured my heart. The heart of death.

The love of Death.

Wanda was...well, she was being adorable quite frankly. The way she was looking around the infinite Akashic Records with a childish glee I had never seen from her before. Her eyes literally sparkling with delight at all the books on all sorts of things she had never seen before.

Getting to this point had...not been particularly easy.

Destiny - my brother - was a stickler when it came to the rules. Especially when it came to the halls I am now walking though. As the library was intrinsically connected to him, and to the book he walks around with everywhere.

It was basically a direct manifestation of an aspect of his very being, but at a higher scale. One such that even once this multiverse dies, the Akashic records will persist. That was the main reason it is so protected.

Something I do not believe Wanda realizes.

This library has knowledge of the past iterations of the multiverse. Ones that not even I had seen or heard of. Untold iterations before the current one. All that information and knowledge held within these halls.

It was built this way by the Lord himself. My - or simply THE creator - creator had been rather strict about a lot of things regarding the Akashic records. Such as how to get to it, who is permitted to access it, and such things.

Only the arrogant fallen star and his brother could access this place casually, and even they could not access certain parts of the infinite library. There was knowledge in its depths that nobody besides the creator himself was permitted to access.

Well, there was one other, but they would not be bothered by such a thing.

Wanda was a powerful woman, far stronger than even I. But even she could not just access this place, even with her being a divine entity with connections to the concepts revolving around knowledge.

Because while she was likely stronger than any other entity in this multiverse, I know for a fact that the creator is stronger. She may come to rival "Him" but that would be in the far far future, and by then I doubt she would be nearly as interested.

She would be strong enough to just learn it. Or, she will just start to properly travel the multiverse like I am anticipating.

Already she had brought up the idea of traveling with me, of how she wished to go to this world called "Harry Potter" because another version of death had made things called the "Deathly Hallows" and she wanted to see how I would react to them.

I imagine we will do that eventually. The idea did truly sound curious, as I had never met another multiversal entity known as Death. For so long I have only seen myself as death. Never another.

It would be interesting to see how me being death would interact with another multiverse’s death. Would we combine and become one death? Would we have some out of negative reaction and harm one another?

Or something else?

I’m interested to see. And Wanda had already confirmed to me that she will revive me should anything happen.

She does have the power to do it with a rather scary amount of ease.

"Have you ever been here before?" The first woman to ever capture my heart asked me, as I turned to her.

"Only a handful of times. Destiny can be...a little annoying when it comes to his rules with this place. And only Lucifer and Michael have the ability to come here freely. I had to get permission from the almighty to enter this place" I responded.

In actuality it was a bit more complicated than that. As even getting an audience with the almighty tended to be hit or miss. Thankfully the entity had known about what I wanted to do, and was completely fine with it.

I suspect the creator likes Wanda and the curious changes she has caused to her chosen universe. They were outside of what even he could predict, and since it was not casing harm to the greater multiverse, he seemed to be rather fond of these changes and the greater ramifications of them.

Wanda likely didn’t even know of how wide reaching her changes were, and how the creator was reacting to them. But I suppose she had never met him, so it would be hard to ever know.

"How do you even get permission to enter a place like this? Did you just have to ask or did he give you some sort of mission you had to complete?" Wanda asked, it was a pretty valid question at that.

"It’s not getting him to agree to let you here that has been...a bit problematic and annoying. It was getting to meet him in the first place. As the creator can be a bit of a prankster, and sometimes makes us waste time just to mess with us. And that is essentially what he did with responding to my request" I replied, before continuing.

"The only ones who can truly get him to respond just by mentioning him, are individuals like Destiny, Lucifer, Michael, and his eventual successor, Elaine" I said, remembering the younger woman that would eventually take the throne from the current almighty.

Even entities on his scale of power can become tired with existing, hence why he wanted to eventually pass down his throne to Elaine, who would be the next "God" for however many iterations of the multiverse she can handle.

The creator had never spoken of it, but I and the other Endless suspect that he is not the first "God" of this multiverse and it’s previous iterations.

"What about the Spectre? I know that he is intrinsically connected to the Presence, but does he not get responded to all that often?" Wanda asked me. It was yet another good question.

"He does. But not at the same speed and in the same way. It mostly just boils down to the fact that the others that he responds to are amongst the most powerful entities in all of creation. The Spectre is simply not as much of an importance to him, even if it maybe has gotten more powerful over the years due to various outside events" I replied.

The Spectre was a complicated entity I’d rather not talk or think about.

With the questions soon dying down, we began to walk through the infinite halls once more.

While I just hoped this date would continue to go this well. Because if it did not...

I would never be able to forgive myself.
