The villainess shall be mine

"I am back here again? This is kind of worrying..." I said, looking at the familiar scenery.

"It's your emotional outburst and instability."

"What? You are here too. What just happened?" I said, looking at Pride who appeared in front of me again.

"We don't have much time so I will take this chance to give the long version of the story. The rest depends on you..."

Pride said.

I didn't know what he was talking about but I knew that it was something important.

"I will tell you the origin of it all, so don't interrupt me…"

After that, Pride began to tell a story.

"In ancient times, the God of Creation who created the universe and countless intelligent species was described as a kind and generous entity.

He was always curious about humans and their way of living—the masterpiece at the peak of his creation.

His authorities were 'Creation & Destruction' and with these authorities, he could at the same time create realities and rewrite the law of everything that exists but also annihilate and render them to nothingness.

His power allowed him to create many things such as countless galaxies, infinite space, uncountable laws of nature, laws of time, as well as indescribable amounts of data and knowledge."

'God and his creation?' I thought because before I got reincarnated, I didn't give much thought to religion, heaven, or God. It was only after coming to this world that I had to consider various things.

'But what does it have to do with me? I mean, this story and all. My reincarnation? I should probably listen for now.'

I wondered as so I decided to listen to the rest of Pride's story.

"…However, after existing for an unimaginable period, the universe created by the God of Creation was on the verge of being annihilated by a powerful being as old as time. This being lived outside of the space-time that he created, an entity that craved more power and more knowledge, and who was called the God of Void.

These two godly entities were in a way brothers and the authority of the God of void was the exact opposite of the essence of life, of existence, so it was called 'Anti-esse.' An ominous power capable of even swallowing authorities and deities altogether.

Now this being wanted to erase his brother and all of his creation.

An act that this God of the void believed will bring him closer to the truth due to the nature of his authority.

The God of Creation used all of his might to stop his brother, but because of his kind nature, he also understood why his brother was in such a state. He also wanted to know the truth at some point. His authority 'Destruction' was in a way closer to the 'Anti-esse,' but he never used it, because it was also a counterpart of authority 'Creation.'

'Anti-esse,' was more powerful than 'Destruction' if the two were to be compared since the authority was beyond the reality that 'Creation & Destruction' could manipulate.

Even so, the God of creation couldn't let his brother destroy everything that he created. Some of his creations were beings that lived without needing him to tell them what to do. These conscious beings, he couldn't sacrifice them even for something like the Ultimate Truth because that was his responsibility and duty as their creator. After all, they never asked him to create them in the first place.

The power of 'Anti-esse' had the potential to transcend every dimension and reach a place that doesn't exist and where nothing exists but is there.

The God of void didn't know where this place was, but he could feel that his power wouldn't be able to go beyond that realm.

This place was the final destination that the God of void wanted to reach. He believed that the questions to all of his answers lay there.

But he was unable to go there directly since his consciousness couldn't grasp its nature so he doesn't know what it is or where it is.

That's why the God of void wanted more power, more knowledge, and to find the answer to a few questions. If every dimension, every existence, every layer, are to disappear, then what would be left beyond that? What is beyond it? Who is beyond it, and who is the one who created him? Because he knew that he and his brother were created inside that place at the very beginning.

He had no memory of what happened but when he began to think, he was already inside of a blank dimension known as the 'Second primordial dimension' that came into existence.

The God of the void contemplated these questions for eons and he decided that he would find the ultimate truth. Thus, he believed that he had to erase everything that exists, such as the countless dimensions that materialized by themselves due to his brother's authority that functioned autonomously.

Then, he would return to the 'Second primordial dimension' and erase it too. Finally, he thought, he would be able to witness the ultimate truth, the 'First primordial dimension.'

However, with his authority, the God of Void considered his brother as the biggest obstacle in his way. Creation was indeed the worst matchup for Anti-esse.

Nevertheless, he was still confident in winning, even though their battle continued for millennia after his brother sent him into a multiverse of insanity where every universe is stuck in a time loop, and even if Anti-esse is beyond all dimensions, the God of Void himself wasn't omnipresent despite being omnipotent, thus it takes time to destroy all of these universes that keeps appearing endlessly.

But after an incalculable period, he found another use of his power, to use it on himself.

Normally, he would have disappeared and died, but that's not the case in this particular case.

If a being were to be sent to the 'First primordial dimension' they will surely disappear since what was there, was beyond their level of existence and their comprehension, so their consciousness will stop working and they are as good as dead.

Nonetheless, what if only his envelope corporal were to be sent to disappear and his soul, in other words, his consciousness will stay outside.

That way, he will exist and won't exist at the same time and nothing would be able to stop him. He would become an omnipresent being.

Of course, that sounded like an ingenious idea but will become the key to his defeat later.

The God of void succeeded to get rid of his corporal envelope, but the link between his body and his consciousness was cut, and in exchange, he obtained something else, something beyond omnipresence.

No one knew how such a thing was possible, even the most brilliant human, but it was something that only someone like the God of void could manage to do.

Soon after that, the God of Void appeared in front of his brother, the God of Creation, and activated his final attack, but his brother did something that he didn't expect.

The God of creation used his power on himself too, and fused himself with the consciousness of the universe, discarded his body, and imprisoned himself in an endless time time-loop while transferring all of his power elsewhere.

In other words, he transformed himself into a whole multiverse, that will be always stuck in a cycle of destruction and creation.

Even if he didn't have his power anymore, he was able to trap his brother's consciousness inside of this prison restricting his omnipresence power.

The battle ended in a stalemate, but it said that the God of Void is still waiting in patience for the day when he will achieve his goal."

'That was really long and extremely interesting. It was as if I was listening to the plot of a movie.' I thought after listening to the story but I knew that this story was somehow related to my reincarnation and Pride's presence.

After that, Pride stopped talking and looked serious then asked me some questions.

"Do you know why is your power 'Neutral', something between creation and destruction?"

'From what I have learned from Pride's story, the God of creation transferred his power elsewhere.' I thought.

"I never thought about it that way, but is there a chance that it is related to these so-called authorities?" I asked, trying to understand the connection in everything that had happened. "And it's tough to process all of this in one go."

"In a way, yes, but it's more complicated than that. You need to know and remember that first, you need to ascend to the next level of your existence before thinking about trying to accomplish what you have in mind. Otherwise, you will die, and this world, this universe, and countless universes and dimensions will disappear with you..." Pride spoke nonchalantly, but what he said was tremendous.

"And I will also tell you this because you seem to be worried about it, even though it's not that important: You need to conquer the most powerful girl in this universe if you want to live and save the world."

"What?" I said, feeling a little bit confused. "What do you mean by I can't do what you just did, and..."
