Ball of Nothing

Chapter 25


Chapter 25


The scene played out very differently in the last memory . Instead of viewing the memory and having a load of information crammed into my head, the information was preloaded or unlocked the moment the memory fragment was used .
Firstly, I wasn't the Great One . I was merely the shell of what I was . An empty one who evolved by consuming the energy around . It's a sad reality but the gamble I made in the past paid off . The theory worked but at a price .
Secondly, I found out that my past self had a form . It was a sphere of darkness that held many things . In fact, it held everything . It was a ball of everything and was the only true existence of this place .
Thirdly, my reason for existing was partially answered . I had to see the world my past self created and right the wrongs . Of the many creations, there were some that my past self created without knowing the consequences . Some of those divine entities brought nothing but trouble and the power balance of the world was upset by the constant war between the two camps . Some divine entities like Duu and the three sisters decided to remain hidden . Others like Kale, Venn and Gugu were actively participating in the war created by their initial disagreement .
Basically, war between gods, humans and all other living things happened due to the divine entities . They didn't agree with each other and weren't stronger than one another so they decided to settle their fights by borrowing other species that my past self created .
Initially, they created avatars from their wills and thus gods were born . Gods who could not gather enough power to fight each other created demigods and then those demigods created humans as human souls were cheap but had great potential .
Demigods came in many forms . Some as angels, some as demons, some as fairies, mermaids, goblins and spirits so it was hard to name them all . Watered down demigod descendants were like elves, gnomes, dwarves and half-beasts . The watered down generations between demigod descendants and humans possessed magical powers and amazing physical properties . They are often recruited by these divine existences and gods to fight on their behalves .
That led to the destruction of the first planet when all the races died in an all out war using magic . However, over time the normal humans started repopulating the planet and learned from the mistakes of their ancestors . They gave up believing in gods and magic . Instead, they focused on technology and their own strength . This strong united belief of humans created a god of their own that is not a power of my past self or any divine entities .
That was the newbie god who disturbed my slumber .
Apparently, something went wrong on the human planet leading to a complete destruction . The god created by humans grieved over it and decided to bring all the souls of humans to a new planet away from the influence of divine entities . However, the other gods saw it and started to prey on this new planet, influencing the humans with their teachings .
Infuriated, the newbie god left . Nobody knew where he went but humans were progressing quickly . Instead of having chosen ones from the descendants of demigods, all humans on the new planet had access to magic . That magic was not controlled by any god, it was the power humans could borrow from the planet . Many gods tried to influence these new humans with their teachings and magic, some succeeded .
While the war between gods and divine entities ceased, the hatred has not . Gugu is still claiming that he is the strongest, Jevy still claiming it is the smartest and most beautiful existence . Venn just thinks everyone is a waste of space and should die, Kale is merely looking for a better opponent .
How did this end up in such a mess? Generally, out of the twelve created, only four were fighting but it was enough to cause so much damage .
Now that the information is in my head, the memory played out the scene of making the divine entity of hope - Nel .
***
(I'll be counting on you then . Please help my future self should I succeed . )
"Hmph! Such a selfish desire . Don't you care if everything you created fell into ruin? I can see it happening already . Without you, there will be nobody left to keep Venn, Gugu and Jevy in control . These three are the most problematic . Not even I can foresee the damages done by them . In the worst case, there will not be a world left for you to see by the time to regain your consciousness . "
(Thank you for worrying, Nel . However, I believe in you . After all, you are the divine entity of hope . You hold the secret power to end it if things go out of control . In fact, my future self would need a lot of your help . I will be weak after I dissipate all my energy into the void . What will be left is a ball of nothing . )
Nel looked at the dark space sadly . "Suit yourself idiot! But when things don't work, don't say that I didn't warn you!"
With that Nel flew away, leaving behind my past self .
I felt my past self's weariness and saw how time and again energy was dispersed . Usually, I would have fallen asleep to recover . However, my past self fought against fatigue and continued the excruciating process of 'becoming empty' . It broke my heart to know how much was sacrificed so that I could go on an adventure . Even though we were the same existence, all that sacrifice was in vain for my past self was unable to see what I could see now . I'm not even sure if we were the same entity anymore for we had differing personalities .
Over and over again I watched as my past self screamed in agony with nobody to hear it . My past self didn't stop . It must have been centuries before most of the energy had been dispersed into stars or time gates . With the last of the energy, I saw how my past self created gods of its own . They were the Great Gods whom I saw . Sedna looked so young and Zeus was so small too!
(I won't be here for long and will enter into a coma for a very long time . However, when the time comes that I should awaken and go on an adventure, please help to look after me in my place . My new self will be able to create a new path for us, I give it the name Zero to start . What my future self will decide is not my decision, please assist me to the best of your abilities . I will have many questions and when the time comes, please tell me all about our history . )
