Chapter 361 Origo
Chapter 361 Origo
It was said that in order to acquire a piece of diamond, a great amount of pressure had to be applied to a piece of carbon. The carbon that could withstand the pressure and evolve was seen as good, while those that crumbled were seen as trash.
Dante felt like a piece of carbon right now. The energy that poured into this tiny void that contained all of his existence began to apply pressure, squeezing every aspect of him together like he had entered a small car with two very big-boned people on either side of him.
The more ‘he’ was pushed together, the more the various parts of ‘him’ began to forcibly use and merge. This process was not free of pain, but ‘he’ did not have the facilities nor organs to sense pain physically, but ‘he’ felt it on a spiritual level.
If ‘he’ could make a sound, he would be roaring in agony, but that was not possible. Unfortunately for ‘him’, the fusion was not fast and was actually rather slow, as if the one handling it was being careful because this was their first time doing something like this.
‘He’ did not know how long this went on for, only that it seemed never-ending. However, ‘he’ suddenly felt a strange feeling of fusion and perfection at a particular moment in time, a sense of connection to ‘his’ entire being.
It was then that he remembered… he was Dante Alighieri!
Yes, he was Dante… but he was now so much more. His various soul elements that had now fused coalesced into a soul projection that was the same as always, but now, there was a sense of physicality and… wholeness… to it that was not there before.
Not to mention the sense of raw power that came from his soul, but its current pulse was weak, seemingly like it would need to develop over time. Before Dante could completely feel his changes, the gate spat him out back into the void that was his soul space.
Looking at the familiar but now unfamiliar zone, Dante felt first his great control over his soul. This space was a place he could only visit and control some of the things within, but it was now like an entire part of him that he could reshape at will.
With a wave of his hand, his entire soul space that was like an endless void condensed rapidly and virtualized into a scene of a small bourgeoisie neighborhood on Earth during its 2020 era, with a strong focus on one of the houses that had a few high-end cars parked outside.
Dante stood and gazed at the home he grew up in with an emotional expression. He easily went through his memories of his over 20 years of life on Earth, which formed the majority of his memories in total, and realized how lucky he had been to enjoy life thoroughly up until this point.
No dead parent, no cheating girlfriend, no severe heartbreak, no violence or abuse during childhood and no mistreatment during adult life. He had the picture-perfect upbringing that most would ask for, and he even got this opportunity as well.
Despite not ‘suffering’ like most others given his opportunity would have been required to in order to develop the will to push forward, Dante had been carried solely by his ambition to be greater than he already was.
It was a ridiculous myth that one needed to suffer first for them to develop a strong will and a disciplined mind that desired for better things. It was perfectly possible for a ‘normal’ and ‘bland’ person like him to also make such great achievements if he put his mind to it.
And here he was, at the cusp of his greatest achievement, and possibly one of the greatest achievements in history, becoming the first lower-dimensional being to become an Eternal.
Even if he had received ‘external help’, it would be foolish to downplay the achievement for that. After all, the motto was work smarter not harder, and going through needless suffering to achieve a goal that another did with ease did not make you more special.
If anything, it made one look a bit… not very clever.
Dante was pulled from his thoughts when Etz Chaim materialized beside him. The moment she sensed her, Dante’s feeling of accomplishment was diminished significantly, because by the love of all things holy, she was powerful. .
He felt like a little snake looking up at a majestic fire-
breathing dragon. However, this imagery was shattered when Etz Chaim began patting his arms to see if he was still in one piece with a worried expression before sighing in relief.
“Right, so it worked. That’s good.”
Dante’s expression changed upon hearing that, and just as he was about to pursue it, Etz Chaim floated backward and smiled. “Get ready, you’re about to start receiving the energy control.”
There was no time for bickering when he suddenly saw Etz Chaim send over a tiny green and white crystal that rushed through her central root and was spat out through the gate. Dante could not dodge the crystal as it smashed into his soul’s ‘chest’ and lodged itself where his ‘heart’ should be.
There was no pain this time, only shock. Shock from the sheer amount of senseless energy that this crystal could produce that had no end, no limit, and no beginning. Not only was it purer than anything he ever sensed before, he got the feeling that all forms of energy originated from a speck of this one.
“That crystal is a piece of Origo that can channel a small amount of its energy into the lower-dimensional multiverse in order to sustain life. You can really use it however you want, but remember that the crystal is only a conduit, not the source. It can be destroyed and/or melt due to overuse.” Etz Chaim began explaining with folded arms.
Etz Chaim waved a hand to stop Dante. “Forget it, I know that look on your face. Everything in reality has a source and a beginning, and for our entire reality when counting the five universes, that source is Origo.”
“You can picture it as a giant star similar to the sun that is made of special energy which is infinite and everlasting, able to be used without any end. This star-like entity that is Origo then birthed its avatar after millions of centuries, forming the Gods of Gods, Deus.”
Etz Chaim’s expression was a bit pensive as he recounted this bit. “Out of boredom, Deus who had full control over Origo’s energy, used it to create the first universe in existence. It was just a barren void though, so he created the first-ever being, Caelo, who was granted the attributes of Destruction and Creation.”
“You could say that Deus trusted Caelo greatly, or that he had some sort of affection for his first creation, but in the creation authority he gave Caelo, there was a hint of control over Origo within.”
“Oh, one thing I should point out is that everything belongs to Deus and Origo that is created from Origo’s energy. It’s basically the same theory as when you had an Origin Core, assuming you ever fed your energy to any entity.” Etz Chaim added as a sort of interlude, making Dante’s face change.
“Caelo eventually got lonely and split into two, forming Caela his feminine counterpart. He retained the attribute of destruction which he was more familiar with while she obtained the attribute of creation. However, unlike the crass Caelo who could notutilize Origo’s authority properly Caela has equal authority to Deus currently.”
“Let me guess, Deus is not happy about that and wants Caela dead?” Dante interrupted with an ugly expression.
Etz Chaim sized Dante up and looked surprised. “Yeah, Luka also realized it after Myra explained this bit to him. So right now, all the five gods have been summoned to Origo for a ‘family gathering’ but everyone knows that things will come to head during this event, so the other gods began to train ‘generals’ to assist them in suppressing Deus.” .𝒎
Etz Chaim patted Dante on the shoulder with a look of passing on responsibility. “Luka created the entire lower-dimensional multiverse to not only find special beings but to train them too. He entrusted this task to me and now I am entrusting it to you, as you are what would be his first general.”
“You!!” Dante wanted to grab this pipsqueak, shove her into a cannon, light it on fire, and send her flying like a projectile into a steel wall. Or maybe even a diamond wall.
Etz Chaim shrugged. “Don’t blame me, I am bad at reading people and I don’t have enough free time to watch the multiverse, so you can do it. You have all the tools you need to make it work anyway.”
Dante: “…”
Did Luka really make the right choice in leaving everything into this… this damned tree?!
