Chapter 1425: Genesis Interlude

—–

Within the Realm of Helheim in Genesis, the Emperors had managed to safely escape. The power of the combined slimes only lasted until everyone crashed into the Realm’s shores. The moment they all got there, the Emperors had escaped from the scene and flew into another area, far away from the dangerous Supreme Gods, capable of easily deleting them from existence now that the power of the Death Sea wasn’t limiting what they could do.

The Mountain Monkey Emperor and the Gale Bird Emperor flew away, as the monkey had saved Green Feather out of pity. This was… somehow all planned. Green Feather was wondering why the Monkey Emperor was so silent since they got away, as they were flying towards an Undead Outpost where Undead Gods were being generated. The mission was simple now, regroup with a large quantity of undead gods and then defend Hel.

“You bastard, you’ve kept silent this entire time! What just happened there? Why do you keep so many secrets from me…?” Asked Green Feather. “Is there some stupid God-given mission that made you kill my whole fucking family?!”

“I suppose there’s no point in hiding it from you anymore.” Said the Mountain Monkey Emperor, as Green Feather remained on silence while hearing him speak. The two quickly began to speak through telepathy, as the other emperors too far away from them were not able to notice it.

“Long ago… I was given a task by somebody.” Sighed the Mountain Monkey Emperor.

“Whom?!” Asked Green Feather in anger.

“Somebody… not from this world.” Said Mountain Monkey Emperor.

“What? And it involved killing my parents?!” Asked Green Feather.

“No, it involved killing you as well…” Sighed Mountain Monkey Emperor.

“…”

“It involved… killing most of the Emperors.”

“Why?!”

“…”

The Mountain Monkey Emperor remained in silence.

“What’s the fucking reason behind this entire stupid thing? And what sort of alien just told you to do that, and why did you obey?!”

“That “Alien” is an entity from the outside of our world, a being some call a “Primordial Deity”… This being called himself “The One”. He is an omnipotent being. In the past, he saw that if your family was kept alive and if the emperors were too strong by the time Kireina arrived, she would die before growing strong enough.”

“It is about Kireina?!”

The Mountain Monkey Emperor revealed the truth at long last to Green Feather, but the only thing he made was make the giant bird wonder even more things than anything.

“You’re telling lies! What sort of made-up nonsense is this! You simply envied our better lives!”

“No, Green Feather! I… your father was my best friend…:”

“T-Then… why?”

“It is because of that entity. He put into my soul a seal, a powerful seal which proved his existence and his power. He gave me a small piece of his cosmic knowledge… With such a knowledge, I learned that the entirety of the Universe is predestined, everything follows an eternal Primordial Fate, and we cannot escape from it, nobody can…”

“Fate…?”

The Mountain Monkey Emperor had been given an oracle from The One himself long ago, before Kireina was even sent to Genesis by the System Master. The Oracle foretold that if the Emperors were too strong by the time Kireina were to be reborn there, she would die, and the fate of the entirety of the Universe would remain the same… moving towards total annihilation.

The Mountain Monkey Emperor was given the task to weaken the Emperors so Kireina would survive their onslaught and benefit from their power to continue growing stronger. They were her first ever challenge, and also the pillar for her initial strength, without them she wouldn’t had been able to defeat Redgaria’s forces after all.

But the order was too harsh, it ordered him to kill all the current Emperors and even their strongest children. The One was merciless, but it was done because he cared for Kireina, the child of Chaos, whom he actually loves. But… it was not just because of care or pity. No… it was because of something very important, something which the Mountain Monkey Emperor could not ignore, even if he didn’t wanted to do this atrocity.

It was because Kireina’s birth in this world and her further development would help her awaken her Trait, the legendary Trait of Defiance, capable of defying the Fate of not only the Universe but all Universes connected with it, even… the Dimension, and beyond.

It was a defying power, and that’s why it was called Defiance. She was the one that would break the Primordial Fare that held all things together and moving forward a certain place. Although people thought they could change their fate, they were predestined to think they did, even when those thought they fought against destiny, they were predestined to think they did.

The One, with his power, was able to learn this and more… And he knew that Kireina was the key, one of the most important ones that not only just regarded the Universe, but beyond that. She was… the defiance that all living things had been amassing over eons, since the fragmentation of the Primordial History of Mankind.

After all… since the true timeline was fragmented into pieces, as Mammon implied to Kireina, a force has been driving all of existence to unify once more into the primordial existence it once was… this was what created the Primordial Fate, the greatest enemy of all living things in existence since the fragmentation of the Primordial History of Mankind, the first and original timeline of all.

But could the Mountain Monkey Emperor even remotely understand all of this, even when given such incredible knowledge? And… why him?

“Because you’re the wisest in here.” Said The One to the Mountain Monkey Emperor back then.

The Mountain Monkey Emperor felt moved… he was recognized by such a being.

But… was the task really necessary? Would the end… justify the means?

The Mountain Monkey Emperor tried to talk with The One, and this Primordial being ended calculating a way with the least casualties.

“Kill all of Green Feather’s family.”
