Darkened Daylight

THE LORD OF EXISTENCE - A Culprit Behind The Scenes

"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!"

"!!!!"

At this time, I didn't even react like how I would. Everything is making me spellbound. Every single thing that is required to be known is making me spellbound without even a gap. This time, instead of opening my mouth, I just stretched my eyebrows upward. Guess what, I am adapting to the atmosphere of someone and something that is beyond logic. My crazed state reached its limits and turned into a normal state. I am atleast happy for that. I then continued, "What happened next?"

The dark reigner said, "We had no choice but to start everything all over again. It took us two billion years to settle everything back to the way it was. Our powers weakened enormously due to all these years of effort. We were already in agony for consisting too much power when we were the origin entities. And then, the second origin entities ended themselves, with leaving us no choice but to ascend to our former thrones.

[My condolences.]

... Taking everything back to control and operating everything behind the scenes like always made us even more agonizing. If we had used our authorities anymore, we would have met our end for sure with the overbearing limit and our bodies for sure would have exploded.

[Then what about the grand laws?]

... Later, we again searched for successors with a new game called 'Grand Laws'. The title indicated people with qualifications to reign supreme over everything.

[Does that mean I have the qualifications to reign supreme over everything?]

... Yes, the name grand law changed into a term that would represent our inheritors.

[Back to topic, please.]

... The title indicated people with qualifications to reign supreme over everything. But, that didn't change much. The third and even the fourth origin entities ended up dead in the 'War of Origins' that followed later.

[;;;;... That's sad to listen. Anyway, you were talking about your bodies being exploded.]

... Back to the topic-

[Wait, earlier I remember you saying what would happen if either one of the origin entity dies, to Martha and Kraissilis during the first 'War of Origins'. So did nothing happened to the entirety of existence when your successors died?]

... When they died, we got back our powers. That's how we realised that our successors died.

[But, how did the second dark reigner die? Doesn't he have supreme sovereignty?]

... My successors failed to comprehend that technique.

[I feel bad for them... You may continue where from you left.]

... Ahem, our bodies would explode if we use our powers extensively. Taking this as an advantage, the crooks and mutant asymmetrons who were once our loyal servants betrayed us and began to make their own rules. At that time, we had no choice but to watch the death of poor dwellers in all the three realms!"

I interrupted, "Wait... I feel like you are hiding something from me. You speak as if this was all a coincidence. But, I get the feeling that there is someone behind everything that you said until now. Tell me. What is it that you are hiding from me?!!"

The dark reigner remained silent for a few seconds. I reminded him, "Mr.Madrona, I am asking you to reveal everything no matter how dangerous it is!"

The dark reigner widened his by looking at my eyes. He then smiled and exclaimed,

"The Lord of Existence!!"

"!!!!"

[Now, what kind of plot twist is this? There is another one?]

The dark reigner continued, "You know that I wasn't born, right?"

I answered, "Yes!?!"

He corrected me, "My consciousness was formed after the light came into existence. But, I am really not the first entity with a consciousness!"

"!!!!"

I asked while widening my eyebrows, "Are you saying that you are not the first but a second being with consciousness? Then who is the first_!!!"

The dark reigner responded, "I think you have already guessed it by now!!?"

...

I exclaimed, "The Lord of Existence!!"

The dark reigner clarified, "Yes, the first 'War of Origins', 'The Anonymous Descent' and the second, third and fourth 'War of Origins'... Everything was the lord of existence's doing. That bastard, was the stagehand of this whole mess. We were just playing inbetween his palms. We failed to realise it at that time, and we were too late to realise it. By the time we realised, there was a fourth 'War of Origins'. The power balance crumbled way too much. If we realised earlier, that there was someone like that, we would have done everything within our authorities to bring him down!"

I asked, "You people didn't know that such entity existed? Then how did you find it out later? I mean, the existence of the lord of existence?!!!"

The dark reigner responded,

"The second 'War of Origins' happened due to a single woman. We felt something was wrong. The soul of that women was supposed to be existential for twenty million years. But, it vanished all of a sudden. We investigated but found no leads. Similar kind of reasons were involved in the third and fourth 'War of Origins'. The third dark reigner, godmother and lord of afterlife came into conflicts with reasons on similar case to the previous one. Even the fourth origin entities got swept up on similar scale of reasons. Later, Kraissilis found a lead by bringing all the four wars history into one place. It was none other than the neutral dimension. Every war happened in the neutral dimension but we never knew anything about the place. We only used it for battles. So, Kraissilis came to a conclusion that we had to survey the neutral dimension thoroughly since, that was the only lead we found. I, Martha and Kraissilis went to the neutral dimension, surveilled the one and only planet that was in the neutral dimension. All of a sudden, Kraissilis asked me and Martha to come to the outer space. We both agreed for the time being and came into the outer space of neutral dimension. Kraissilis took out his most powerful weapon 'Wrath of Daylight' and cut the planet into half. Me and Martha were dumbfounded. We asked him what he was trying to achieve by splitting a planet into two. He pointed out at the centre of the planet core. And we got even more shocked... All those trillions of years, we never even sensed a bit of existential matter. But, there was a portal that cannot be seen by a naked eye. The portal was invisible but, we were able to sense all the three powers of us origin entities being released limitlessly through that doorway.

[That must have been the place where the lord of existence was dwelling, huh?]

... We were unable to recognise everything even when the answer was with us all that time. I, Martha and Kraissilis entered the doorway and found ourselves inside a huge hall. There, we saw a huge chair or rather a 'throne'... The throne was empty.

[Huh? The lord of existence wasn't there?]

... Suddenly, weird voices together started to surround the environment together in harmony. They said, 'Welcome to the lair of the lord of existence, dear children!'. The voices came from one direction, and that one direction pointed to the throne.

[ Sigh... Now it is turning into a horror movie.]

... It is better for you to see it yourself. I cannot describe it in words!"

The dark reigner ended his elaboration and began to show everything via mind magic.

---flick---

There was a massive hall with dim-light surrounding the place. The first three origin entities were standing in the middle of the hall. Suddenly, weird voices began to surround the whole environment. I flinched. The voices shouted together, "Welcome, to the lair of the lord of existence, dear children!"

The voices came from the direction of the throne. The throne was ten meters tall. But there was no one to be seen. I began to shiver. It really felt like a horror movie with ultra graphics and virtual reality.

---flick---

All of a sudden, my body was pulled into the dark reigner. I began to watch everything under the perspective of the dark reigner. Wherever he looked, I too looked at the same direction. The dark reigner looked at the throne. There was some smoke on the throne. The smoke was invisible to a naked eye. I was only able to see it through the dark reigner's x-ray vision. The smoke formed the shape of a person wearing robes like a reaper. I got scared down to my wits. All the three origin entities charged forward to the smoke figure and they crossed through the smoke. The throne broke into pieces due to the impact of the attack. The smoke figure disappeared and then reappeared in mid-air. All the three origin entities once again reigned their sovereignties. This time, the smoke figure nullified their attacks that were released through sovereignty. Madrona, Martha and Kraissilis were left dumbfounded. Later, the smoke raised its lefthand towards the origin entities and stayed silent. All three fell on their knees without notice. They didn't understand what happened.

The Mixed voice again came out of the smoke figure. The mixed voice consisted the voice of a man, woman, child, oldman, and creatures like dragons, wyverns, werewolfs and vampires etc.

[Is it a male or a female? Too many voices are lashing out together.]

It said, "You people are no match for me since you are in your weakened state... Hahaha... Hahahahaha... Atlast you have found me by yourselves. I waited so many years for you to come to me!"

The way it spoke sounded psychopathic. The lord of afterlife was the first one to speak, "Who are you and why are doing this? If someone like you existed until now why were we never able to sense you?

The smoke figure now became turned visible and like a ghost figure. It turned into a person with black robes and white skin. The whole appearance looked very disgusting. It looked at the three origin entities with its eyes that were bleeding. It creeped me out since I was watching everything under the perspective of the dark reigner. It started to talk again,

"Hahaha... hahahahaha... hahaha... This was how it should be. There must not be anything accept deep silence. If it was not for that stupid explosion, then none of this would have happened and I would have remained in eternal slumber!!"
