Darkened Daylight

GRAND LAW - The Key Role(5)

"The origin entities who were our successors killed eachother...!"

...

[Sigh... Its one thing after another. I just wanted to know the true reason for my misfortune and then I ended up knowing something past the limits of even transcendent knowledge that is ten thousand fold above common knowledge. Even the events of the history keep on changing one thing after another. First it was about origin entities, second it was about irregulars, third it was about games and now it is about plot twist. I didn't even hear a single thing that involved me. And for a note-]

"What kind of library is this, and how can the bookshelves still be visible when I am looking from a faraway distance!!!", I stood and yelled the last part without even realising it. Until now, I was in a circular room where there was no wall but only bookshelves. Every book cover was black in colour. What's more is that even the bookshelves, the floor, the sofa and the floor-cloth were black in colour. There was light falling from four directions. But the black environment made the light reflection weaker. The light in the room was dim. I felt sick of watching the black. I looked above while gritting my teeth.

"!!!!"

I was still unable to see ceiling and it only got darker as I tried to look above. At some point, the light stopped. It felt like looking into a dark pit.

[Is this a dark dimension or a black world? The black is making me sick.]

"Oh, I didn't tell did I? This is my mind. Presently, you are in my soul dimension!", said the dark reigner.

I said while sighing, "Can't you just say I am inside your dream? Why do keep on using complicated terms? Dream is not even a simple word. If it wasn't for my'Demon-god'self, I would have asked you what is soul dimension and things would have dragged on forever!"

He responded while smiling, "You are quite sharp!!"

[I feel like hitting myself for listening to insane things. More than ten hours were taken for his mind illusion, punishment and the long term explanations. And, I still didn't receive the info of my part. This is driving me crazy. How much more should I listen inorder to have a clear idea about my part.]

I kept on scratching my head while being in a crazed state. My hairstyle turned into a bird's nest. The dark reigner began to laugh.

"Hahahahaha__!"

The laughter got onto my nerves. I then yelled, "Hey, do you think this funny. You and I kept on talking for eight hours just to know about my misfortune's true cause. Is that even sane?!!"

"Calm down, now we are about to get to the part of your misfortune!", he said while chuckling.

[He ignored me again.]

I had no choice but to sit back and watch until the beans are spilled since the person who is sitting infront of me is an origin entity. I can not afford to shout and make him angry. That would be the death of me. I calmed my mind once again to listen to his revelation.

"The origin entities who were our successors had some internal conflicts. The second dark reigner received a promise from the second lord of afterlife that when they ascend to the thrones, the second lord of the afterlife would revive the dead wife of the second dark reigner as an infinito. But, the second godmother didn't agree to it!"

I interrupted, "Why? Was she having a crush on the second dark reigner?"

Dark reigner corrected me, "No, I mean in a way, but before he became an infinito, he was the brother-in-law of the second godmother!"

"!!"

"A flashback?", I asked. And he answered,

"Yes, the second godmother had an elder sister back on her world. Their parents didn't accept their love due to their races being different. Her sister and the second dark reigner eloped together. The second dark reigner had a marriage in secrecy and they lived together in exile. But, they both were killed after two years. The women died with a baby inside her womb.

Right after their deaths, the second dark reigner ended up in the absolute abyss and his wife ascended to the afterlife. He lived a lonesome life in the absolute abyss, later became a cultivator, decided to bring his wife back no matter what and took the opportunity to climb the ranks of supreme beings through 'The Peak' and 'The Unbounded'. He also met the second godmother who looked similar to his wife. The second godmother formed a group with him since she has no choice due to his generous approach!"

I interrupted, "Generous approach!"

The dark reigner continued, "When she saw the second dark reigner back in 'The Peak', she tried to kill him for stealing away her sister and not being able to protect her. The second dark reigner didn't resist her attack. The attack just wasn't enough to kill him. She got fatigued by reigning continuous attacks on him but still failed to kill him. She fell on her knees and asked him why she was unable to kill him.

[He must have said that 'You are not even worth my time'.]

;;;;... Well, he came towards her and he too knelt down infront of her. At that time, what the second godmother saw wasn't generosity but sadness with deep regret. She witnessed an infinito who smiled in agony. The infinito approached her hands while in tears and said, 'This was how I felt when I was unable to protect my love. This was how I felt when I wasn't even able to hold a weapon or do a thing to my foes in my final breadth!', and later when I heard it all from the second godmother I too felt pain...

[Hic... How sad? I am about to fill a bucket with my tears at this rate.]

Back to the topic, that's when she remembered that his enemies were big shots who were sent by her father. She then understood what kind of pain he was carrying until now that is, a pain of not having a heart. That's what driven her towards hi_. Are you crying;;;;?!"

The dark reigner asked in middle of his explanation, while I was in the middle of my weeping. I said in tears, "Listening and imagining such sad story would even make a god fall in tears. How can I, a fragile human hold back my tears to such tragedy?"

";;;;... Well, they formed a group and got close to each other. The infinito treated her like a sister while the elf got infatuated to him. Later, they met their third member and then at one point, the second dark reigner saved the second lord of afterlife. That's when the promise took place. But, the elf took it the other way. She failed to understand that he want his wife to be revived as an infinito at that time.

[That's her bad then.]

... Due to that, the second dark reigner and second godmother came into a conflict when the time to fulfill the promise came. But, ten million years had already passed since the death of the second dark reigner's wife. Just when the dark reigner and godmother were arguing with eachother, the lord of the afterlife said that the soul of the dark reigner's wife vanished into thin air.

[The second dark reigner must have writhed in agony]

... The dark reigner turned furious and attacked the godmother for dragging things and then attacked the lord of afterlife for standing still instead of reviving when he had the chance. He went to the absolute abyss. Later, the godmother and lord of afterlife had conflicts with each other and went on their own ways. Due to this, the three realms began to oppose one another and a second 'War of Origins' started. We formers were in exile at that time. We got to know everything that happened by inquiring about the war. We saw through the memories of everyone who were involved in the war. But, we were too late. The second origin entities were already lying dead on a mountain of corpses that touched the sky!"

I was spellbound after hearing the last term 'sky'. I exaggerated while in complete disbelief. I then interpreted, "Through your mind illusion, I saw the sky on the only single planet that is in the neutral dimension ten thousand kilometres above the ground. Are you saying that the scale of the war was even more catastrophic than your war?"

The dark reigner exclaimed, "Yes!!"

---gulp---

[Well, taking into consideration that the entirety of existence expanding, there is no wonder in the scale of the being larger than before.]

The dark reigner once again said, "The scale of this war far exceeded the previous one. That is a point to be noted. But the casualties in the second 'War of Origins', were four hundred trillion!"

"!!!!"
