Cherreads

Chapter 19 - Ch 19 (New Soul)

..And at Shou's place, who appears confused while walking in this world where the woman who claimed to be his mother neglected him and left him as if she didn't know him, just because he didn't sleep with his sister. And as Shou moves, not knowing where to go in this scattered world, he says to himself [I used to say: Can a perfect god create a world like this world where the god is kind and merciful, never creating evil, a world as desolate as this?] Then, suddenly, everything around Shou changes, and the place becomes like paradise, indescribable absolute beauty. Shou is surprised then, smiling and appearing completely unable to understand, never understanding what's happening. And then he sees her—the same beautiful girl with lovely blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. The girl laughs. Then Shou looks at her, feeling immense love towards her for no reason, feeling his heart telling him [Never leave her]. Shou runs towards her while she runs from him laughing, saying: Try to catch me. Shou runs after her, and suddenly, without any warning, a door appears from nowhere and opens while Shou rushes in unintentionally, seeing himself falling into a completely dark abyss while looking towards paradise as he falls, then the door closes. Shou laughs to himself, saying [Falling into the abyss while looking towards heaven]. And while Shou falls into the abyss, without any warning, Shou is transported to see himself fallen on ground like a road, in pain from the fall [Is there a way out of this world? Is there hope?] Shou looks around to see trees and sees the sea in front of him while there's a highway. Shou stands up from the ground and wipes the dust from his body [Alright then, I don't know what I'm supposed to do or how long I've been here, I only know that I must try and hold on to hope]..

..While Shou, wearing the coat, moves, he passes and crosses the highway, stands by the sea, and contemplates to himself [Hmm, the sea on the right, a road in the middle, and buildings on the left. This is strange, like a future version of the place I was in before when I first entered here, when it was night with lampposts and the sea on the right. This is very strange, but it changes everything. It seems I'm starting to grasp the thread. This world isn't completely random; there is a system, and it seems I'll surpass this world soon]. Then he looks at a person standing beside him holding papers and pens. Shou says: Excuse me, may I have a notebook and pen? The person looks at him and is silent for a while without a word, and Shou appears a little tense. Then the person speaks, saying: And what's in return? Shou looks in his pockets and says: Sorry, I don't have any money. Will you take this coat in exchange for the notebook and pen? The person thinks for a while and then agrees, giving Shou a pen and notebook. Shou laughs then and says to himself [I understand more now. Before, they wouldn't understand me, no one would reply, they wouldn't even look at me. It seems I'm now in another time period, very far in the future, as if the world itself is trying to trap me inside a spiral of infinite possible worlds. This isn't just a possibility; no, it's actually the only logical conclusion]. Then Shou says: An infinite cycle of possible worlds, yes, that's it. I'm trapped inside it. Possible worlds, everything different from the other. It seems the sleeper in this dream has experienced these worlds..

..Shou writes down what he understood in a notebook while continuing to move, saying [To confirm this further, I need to go where I was, and also to break through the layers that didn't exist before, I must go to the cluster of buildings that was previously there at night. Specifically, I must climb the stairs again. If the wall exists, that means it's just a different time period, and if not, then my theory is correct: It's infinite possible worlds in a spiral interwoven with each other at random times]. And as Shou moves, he then hears musical sounds with constant tones filling the entire world again, but then he says [Those tones are completely different from what they were before. It seems I'm right, then]. Shou gets excited and rushes faster towards the cluster of buildings he was in before. And after several moments, while Shou is crossing the highway, suddenly a car crashes into Shou at a very high speed. Shou falls suddenly to the ground and looks at the lady getting out of the car, who turns out to look exactly like the girl who claimed to be his older sister who wanted Shou to sleep with her. And then, as Shou bleeds from his head and entities gather around him trying to help, he says to himself [This resembles an equation that needs solving more than it does a world!]. Suddenly, Shou's body regenerates again and he stands up from the ground while the girl looks at him and says: Are you okay? Shou smiles and says: You're a little more ethical now, and also yes, I'm fine. The girl looks at him strangely [What is this person saying? Has something happened to his mind?]. Shou moves and heads towards his destination. Then the girl screams at him, saying: What are you doing, you idiot? Let me take you to the hospital. Then Shou suddenly stops moving and remembers something [She screamed at me like the previous time she screamed at me on the street. It seems everything I do will generate a consequential meeting]. He doesn't reply to her and continues moving. Shou then smiles while blood is on his face and says [I'm fine. It seems the fruit of life isn't an ability, so I can't use it. Very good]. Then Shou arrives at the place with the building clusters he was in, immediately heads towards the building entrance, and climbs the stairs, saying to himself [The girl isn't here this time!]. Shou climbs, and with each step feels he's getting closer and closer to his goal. Then Shou stops suddenly and smiles [The wall was there after I climbed to the second floor, right in front of me. But now, no wall. So there's only one possibility to get out: I must do something that doesn't exist in this world's dictionary. And for that to happen, I think I just need to climb higher and higher in this building until I get the unusual signal—the voice of the girl who resembles Feri. She is the unusual thing in this world. When this world was in the night when I first entered, everything was strange, but she was the strangest. I just need to follow her, and last time I climbed the stairs and couldn't go further]..

..Shou continues climbing higher and notices the light doesn't go out like last time. And as Shou climbs higher and higher, he then hears the girl's voice again and sees her in front of him. The girl says: I've been waiting for you all this time. Follow me. Suddenly, the girl climbs higher and higher while Shou runs after her, saying: Just wait for me. Shou climbs higher and higher. Suddenly, the girl falls silent, and he sees in front of him 5 different doors. Shou stops and appears confused, saying to himself [Now what? What should I do?]. Shou notices some blonde strands of hair in one of the doors. Shou gets happy and runs through that door. He sees the girl again and says: Please stop, why are you doing this? Suddenly, the girl stops moving, smiles at Shou, and says: Here I am. Shou smiles then and walks towards her, saying [Finally, this will end]. Suddenly, a huge black entity appears with very large white eyes and bright white teeth, splitting the girl in half. Shou is stunned and says to himself [Oh my god, what just happened?]. The black entity completely disappears. Shou then falls to the ground, appearing very frustrated, and hits the ground so hard that his hand breaks and heals each time [What should I do now? Slow down, Shou. Focus, focus. Of course, there's a solution]. Shou thinks while holding his head [Now what? My goal disappeared and died—the only thing that was different in this world. And now what?]. Suddenly, a devilish idea comes to Shou's mind [If the special thing disappeared and died, does that mean I should also kill myself?]. Shou thinks while looking at the girl's corpse split in two, saying to himself [The special thing died and moved somewhere else. I only wanted to reach her, but now I've lost her. What's the solution?]. Shou approaches the girl's corpse, then carries her and steps back, saying [Hahaha, there are still four other possible worlds inside four doors. If this entity's appearance is part of the system and the familiar, and it must tear something apart, then I'll give it that corpse again for it to tear apart and save the girl]..

..Shou exits that room and sees four other rooms in front of him while carrying the split girl [Alright then, I just need to enter another door, and the monster will appear again while the split girl is in my hands. All I need is when I see the girl alive inside this door, to throw this split part as a sacrifice instead of the live girl, and thus end it. As long as these are possible worlds, then the girl exists in all those worlds and will appear in every door]. Then Shou enters the door to see the girl running in front of him again. Shou says to her: Just wait for me a moment. Then the girl stops and says: Here I am. Shou throws the cut parts towards the girl. They fall behind her, and the black entity appears again, tearing apart the cut parts instead of her. Shou laughs then and runs towards the girl. At the moment he touches her, a very strong light appears, illuminating every place. Suddenly, everything disappears, and Shou sees himself standing in a place where there's a timer showing the duration: 3 hours, 17 minutes, and 6 seconds. Suddenly, a plant falls from above, from darkness. Shou catches the plant. The plant then explodes, and Shou feels an overwhelming ecstasy. Then Shou's spiritual energy reaches 1T/1T, and his spiritual points reach 1T. Shou is extremely surprised and says to himself [Huh? It seems there's a limit to points. I remember I had some extra billions. Is there something I need to do to evolve?]. Suddenly, everything disappears, and Shou appears again in front of Lee Jiyoon, appearing angry and rushing towards him, saying: You scoundrel..

..Lee Jiyoon is very surprised and then says: Wait, I'll just explain. Then Shou attacks Lee Jiyoon, who doesn't even move from his spot, and Shou's hand passes through Lee Jiyoon as if he were just a shadow. Shou then gets angry and says: But I want to kill you, but I can't. Lee Jiyoon then laughs and says: Calm down, I'll just explain to you, okay? Shou looks sarcastically and says: Go ahead, that's just what I need, someone like you. Then Lee Jiyoon explains, saying: I did that so you could become stronger psychologically before spiritually. It wasn't my intention to harm you. After all, you're like my cousin. Shou is surprised and says: I'm your cousin? And also, I want my spiritual points, you thief. I had other billions, where did they go? Shou catches his breath, and then Lee Jiyoon looks at him and says: I didn't take them. Also, the Primordial God is considered the older brother of my lord Asborn, so you're like a cousin. Shou looks at him indifferently and then says: Alright then, I don't care. I want my points, boy. Lee Jiyoon looks at him with a slight smile and says: In the end, a little kid like you comes and calls me "boy," Shou. Do you even know how old I am? Shou smiles and says: I don't want to know, I just want my spiritual energy. Lee Jiyoon looks at him and says: Alright then, let's sit, and I'll explain everything to you..

..Lee Jiyoon sits on his throne while Shou sits beside him for a meeting. Then Lee Jiyoon speaks, saying: I'm shocked. How did you manage to get out of there in such a short time? I thought you'd take at least days. Even many who couldn't get out ever remained inside forever. Do you know the strangest thing about this scattered world? Shou then says: And what distinguishes it? Lee Jiyoon replies, saying: It's that any entity will not become part of the world after a week. That's the terrifying thing about it. Becoming part of the world will make you forget who you are and erase your identity, while you'll become a character inside the world. Whereas in the scattered world, and most dreams of the level that shine with all possible colors, logically your stay inside is infinite. Shou is surprised and says to himself [Good thing I didn't stray far from that girl's place. When I entered the building and came down the stairs, I didn't move far from the building's previous location. I only came down from the house I was in and walked on the street, then found myself again in the same place, but in a completely different possible world. If I had moved just a little away from the buildings, I would have stayed in this world suffering forever, since the girl would never appear except near the buildings only. Thank the Perfect One]..

..Then Shou says: Alright then, let's get to the point. I managed to get out of this world, and it's over. And now, what's exactly happening? Why can't I increase my points or spiritual energy beyond a trillion? Then Lee Jiyoon gets excited and says: Because that's the limit of the bodies of inferior spirits, which are the wandering spirits that don't belong to any type of spirit, whether angels, demons, silver entities, chaos entities, or death entities. Shou is surprised and says: Alright then, and how can I become one? Then Lee Jiyoon says: Will you leave this matter to me, and I will help you? Shou is silent for a while and says: Alright then, but how can I trust you? I sat with you for a few minutes, and you put me in the scattered world. I wonder, what else are you planning to do? Then Lee Jiyoon says: Believe me, I'm not your enemy, cousin. I'm completely your ally. And since I consider you my little brother, my goal in sending you into that world was only for you to develop, believe me. Then Shou is silent for a while [His intentions seem sincere indeed. Should I trust him?]. Lee Jiyoon looks at him, trying to show innocence. Then Shou says: Okay, okay, but don't try to deceive me again. Lee Jiyoon laughs: Don't worry, I'll never do that, believe me. And now, suddenly, Lee Jiyoon speaks only incomprehensible words, and then something like a huge cup forms. Lee Jiyoon then smiles and says: Alright then, you need to know something first. Shou smiles and says: And what is it? Then Lee Jiyoon, appearing serious, says: I have no idea what your spirit's form will look like after it completely changes. And also, I want to suggest a certain type to you. Then Shou thinks and says [No problem, it doesn't matter if something happens to my appearance. The important thing is only to become stronger. I'll sacrifice everything for them]. Then Shou says: And what is it? Then Lee Jiyoon says: Pay attention. I'm suggesting my own chaos type to you, which will merge with your Primordial God type. As the god Asborn is recorded in his book of rules, he spoke about the Primordial God and that although they are brothers, he has never seen him before, only heard his voice. He says that the Primordial God is much stronger than him in abilities, while he is stronger spiritually. So if the chaos type merges with the Primordial God type, you'll be almost complete. So what do you think? Then Shou thinks for a while [It does seem like a good idea]. Then Shou says: Alright then, let's begin..

..Suddenly, Lee Jiyoon speaks words and says: Transfer inside the huge cup. And suddenly, without any resistance from Shou, as if it were an absolute command, he sees himself inside the cup, surprising him [Oh my god, just with words. This explains everything. If he wanted to kill me, he would have spoken. It seems his intentions are sincere]. Then Lee Jiyoon says: Are you ready, cousin? Shou appears a little tense and then says: Yes. Suddenly, Lee Jiyoon speaks countless words at an incredible speed, so fast that Shou didn't notice anything at all. Then Shou sees the cup filled with strange ingredients. Shou then says: Are you trying to cook me or what? Haha. Lee Jiyoon smiles and says: That's how it is, I'm not actually trying to cook you. And now, only two ingredients are missing. Then Lee Jiyoon brings out from behind him the very feather of chaos belonging to the entire chaos lineage, and brings out lots and lots of chaos dust. Then Lee Jiyoon says: Your spiritual energy will become infinite like mine. I will place in you the very feather of chaos, like the one inside me. But this isn't something special. From now on, power doesn't only depend on spiritual energy. There's still much, much more you don't know. Suddenly, one of the chaos entities arrives and says: My lord, forgive my interruption, there's a very important matter. Lee Jiyoon is silent for a while, appearing serious, and then says: Just a minute. Shou, you put the feather and the dust in the liquid you're in, and I'll come. Shou then says: Okay, I'll wait for you. Then Shou thinks and says to himself [This thing looks exactly like the golden feather and golden dust I got from Amon. Should I also put them inside the liquid without Lee Jiyoon noticing?] Suddenly, Shou thinks of the book's appearance, puts his hand inside it, and brings out Amon's golden feather and golden dust. Then he puts the chaos feather, chaos dust, Amon's golden feather, and Amon's dust inside the liquid. Shou then says to himself [I don't know what will happen, but no problem, adding more won't hurt]..

..Then Lee Jiyoon suddenly arrives again and says: Excuse me, there was something about the kingdom I had to see quickly. Don't worry about it. And now, let's begin the rituals. Shou then says: Okay, let's go. Suddenly, countless copies of Lee Jiyoon appear surrounding Shou, moving at great speed while the liquid in the huge cup moves quickly as if being stirred to mix together. Then Lee Jiyoon speaks in very strange words and language—the exclusive language of the chaos people themselves. Then Shou rises into the air, and while the liquid comes out of the cup and also flies in the air, the liquid shines with many colors while Shou speaks to himself, saying [I feel this a little bit]. Suddenly, Lee Jiyoon stands still, the copies disappear, and he ends all his words with one word that Shou understands: Change..

..Suddenly, without any warning, Shou screams very loudly, and all the liquid enters his body and devours his spirit. Even the fruit of immortality itself couldn't regenerate Shou's spirit again. The liquid devours Shou's spirit, and each time it devours a part, it replaces it with a new part. Then Shou's entire body turns red, his pupils dilate and stretch, huge horns appear on him, he is surrounded by a black aura, while on his chest a circular shape shines with a golden light surrounded by a red aura, while his eyes shine with an aura of red, golden, and violet light together. Then Shou falls completely motionless. Lee Jiyoon is extremely surprised [Oh my god, what just happened? What is this!]..
