Chapter 727 - Fighting Against The World's Will?!

.

.

.

Quinn woke me up from this Illusion World as she explained to me who the man in front of us was.

The World's Will Clone.

But how?

The World's Will is said to be the personification of the entire world, an entity that literally is the will of the world.

The only capable of opposing it was the Supreme Gods, and only when they worked together.

Although I do not see this entity as someone evil.

After all, it helped Genesis be reborn, how could it be considered an evil being?

However, in front of me, it was now my enemy.

After all, what I wanted to eat was a part of the Origin Core of this world, a part of its 'body' or so I think.

I wanted to eat a piece of the World's Will, in fewer words.

However, what baffled me was that even after being abandoned for so many years, this Origin Core Fragment still held the split consciousness of the World's Will within.

It made me wonder if the Origin Core was truly part of the World's Will or if the World's Will was a separate organism.

I even had the theory that it was some kind of parasitic being.

But maybe they are really the same and only being?

I do not know.

"You're probably wondering why am I here, Kireina? And why do I know about you, right?" asked the World's Will Clone.

"…Indeed, why don't you enlighten me a bit?" I asked teasingly.

Quinn glanced at me as she gnashed her teeth, she also wanted to hear him.

"Well, the answer is simple. I've always known about you, just like my main body. The moment you set your soul into my world, I've already known about you, about what you're doing, and even what you will do…"

What?!

Does this guy has some kind of overpowered foresight Skill?

"No, this is not foresight, but complete knowledge of this world. Anything that occurs within my world is registered in my Origin Core. Even as a Fragment, I am still working diligently… Oh, and yes, I can read your thoughts,"

"So you're actually a part of the World's Will that separated itself all these years? And you're still working perfectly?" I asked.

"No, I am not working perfectly. In fact, many of my functions have slowly stopped working, and my connection with my main body is slowly disintegrating. This is why I wanted to destroy this troublesome Realm with my power and then let my main body notice me, so it can grab me and merge me with it, so we can become one once more,"

"And you would destroy an entire fucking Realm for that?!" asked Quinn.

"Why yes. I created them and I can destroy them, they are parts of my body, so I can easily recreate another one, a better one. So nothing strange like all the living beings in here appear once more,"

"Well you're a fucking hypocrite!" said Quinn.

Ignoring Quinn's insults the World's Will Clone glares at me with its faceless face.

"Kireina. I have known about you since you came to this world, to this Realm. I have been watching my failed child, the System Master, do as he pleases and grants you all these ridiculous powers, and you even went as far as encroaching his children as well, making them your loyal slaves. I cannot let this slide anymore. I will use this opportunity, the one I have been waiting for so long to finally end you. You're a bug in this world, and I must end you to bring things to order,"

"The one you've been waiting for for so long… you planned this? Even this?!" I asked.

"Indeed. It was as easy to predict what you would do as I managed to see every bit of information in this Realm. I simply had to do some calculations and accurately predict your visit. I knew that you would try to devour me. After all, you are a gluttonous fiend. Your existence is an error, I will soon exterminate all the other Alien Souls that my failed child has brought to this world, and then, I will absorb him back to my body and remake the System with his Authority. I've committed way too many mistakes, it is time to amend for my sins and do things right for once,"

"You…!"

"Since the moment I learned that Hephaestus planned something, I knew that you would come. I carefully planned and created this one Illusion World, a special Divine Technique using my powers. Something that not even you, a master of illusions and dreams is capable of breaking through… Although your Divinity tried to intervene to help you through clues, it seems that in the end, you would not have been able to break through it. Sadly, this being has come and ruined my perfect plan. A being whose existence I was not able to predict… But why?"

"Haha! Not even the World's Will Clone know about me? My parents did amazing work at masking my identity then!" laughed Quinn.

"…You seem to possess a similar power to me. But I will not let you run away either, I will end you, the same as Kireina. You two are errors in this world, I cannot afford to let you do as you please anymore. Die."

And without even letting me say another word, the World's Will Clone waved his ethereal hands, releasing an enormous wave of pressure over us!

BOOM!

I felt as if my very soul was being hit instead of my body!

Right, this is not my body. But an Astral projection of it.

In fact, this is my bare soul.

Or even less, just a piece of it.

Perhaps I have been already consumed by a lot.

My physical body should be outside devouring the Origin Core Fragment, but even I now have my doubts…

Perhaps my physical body was already consumed too, and this little me is the only thing that remains!

Oh well, there is also the other me in my Empire.

I have made a large wall filled with seals to separate my main mind in two temporarily, even if this piece of soul dies, she should be fine… As long as I cut my connection with her, I should be capable of saving her, but that would mean that I would get my stats lowered even more, as I am a rather strong True Body Clone…

However, this is not the same for Quinn!

She is right here, I do not know how, but this seems to be her entire soul.

I am sure that she does not know how to divide her soul, as she is too young and had barely practiced the powers of this world…

I cannot let her die.

She is my adoptive daughter after all!

Thug or not!

I try to use several Skills or Spells, but nothing comes out, it seems that the System itself is being suppressed in this space…

I try to exert the pure power of my Soul, and somehow, I manage to resist.

"Oh? You are resisting? That will only make your soul disintegrate even faster," said the Worlds' Will Clone, as I finally noticed what was going on…

My soul was simply fading away.

His attack was not simply some gravity attribute magic.

No, he was actually doing something that only an Origin Core Fragment could do to fight…

"By employing the Laws of this World, I can manipulate them (albeit limited due to my state) and use them to suppress your existence. Your soul will be disintegrated in a few more seconds by the weight of this entire World's Laws! Perish, Kireina!" he said, as I saw my soul slowly fading away in front of my eyes.

Only a tin speck remained…!

"NEET!"

Quinn cries as she was about to grant me some of the power she used to resist the World's Will Clone pressure, but she did not manage to touch me in time.

My soul disappeared.

.

.

.

However, it came right back!

I activate Uroboros!

Yes, Uroboros, motherfucker!

Flash!

Suddenly, my tiny speck of soul left devours itself!

And then, it begins to multiply like tiny bacteria!

Countless times over, I devour and replicate!

I begin to regain power, and as I do, I slowly get accustomed to the pressure of the World's Laws!

If I have to, I will even devour the Laws of this world, and assimilate their power!

I shape my soul made of countless tiny souls and begin to munch on the pressure.

Yes, I am actually just munching something that is not physical nor ethereal.

I think something happened when I literally died! (Once more)

I can feel it.

It is as if…

Uroboros is just part of me now!

Not just a Skill or the effect of the System Master Blessing!

"Oh? So you can use that Skill? Even though it was but a gift, you've somehow managed to fuse that power directly into your Primordial Essence? I guess it could be said that this is the only 'true power' that you possess, as everything else is what you have borrowed from the System. You were a simple and weak soul before my failed child gave you all of this power."

"Blah, blah, blah! We get it, you are all-powerful and whatever! Shut your mouth for once, will you?!" roared Quinn, suddenly exerting a similar power to the World's Will Clone, releasing a strong formless and transparent wave, crashing against the humanoid figure!

"What?! Impossible!"

BOOM!

Quinn then approaches my struggling soul, as she infuses an aura of complete whiteness…

This power!

I know it!

"This is… the System?" I asked.

"This is the power that I wield! The one that those perverts gave to me! Perhaps that fucker can cancel the System, but I can bring it back! Use your Skills!" said Quinn.

Oh, now we are talking.

I firmly stand up, glancing at the Worlds' Will Clone, who is on the floor.

"So that's how it is. I was never able to predict you because the children of my children, or my grandchildren, to be specific, erased any information about you from the Origin Core? That is an enormous violation of the rules I have set in this World. Your encroachment has gone too far, Kireina. You must be stopped."

The guy simply stood up as he flashed towards us while raising his hands!

"Primordial Divine Technique: Origin Disintegration!"

The World's Will clone waves his hands, as an enormous power containing a bit of the original power of the World's Will flies towards us!

What did he just say?!

Origin… Disintegration?!

Those are bad news!

I exert several of my Skills, thanks to Quinn, and boost my entire soul's stats, gaining more speed and power.

I grab Quinn and then dart away from the attack, as it hits the floor, completely disintegrating it into… pixels?!

What kind of terrifying power is that?

I do not really want to try out my luck and eat that… thank you very much.

Wait for a second, did this retard just destroyed this place?

But isn't this part of his own body?

Why is he doing this?

As I wonder, I thought that he might hear my thoughts and answer, telling me that I am completely wrong in everything.

But he does not.

Eh?

Maybe he cannot read my thoughts anymore due to Quinn's intervention?

That is sweet then because I think I have come out with a plan.

"Running in circles will not help you!" said the World's Will Clone, darting towards us at an enormous speed!

Flash!

"World-Breaking Chaos Cannon, God Devourer!!!"

I point one of my soul tentacles towards him, blasting an enormous cannon of chaos attribute magic coupled with God Devourer, the legendary pair!

BOOM!

An explosion occurs, as I move away from the original position of the World's Will Clone, only to find him standing right next to me…

Although something is up because he seems… damaged?

He has a few tiny cracks over his chest!

"Primordial Divine Echenique: Dimensional Sever."

Without waiting for my reaction or something, the World's Will Clone conjures a new Divine Technique, waving his hand vertically!

I desperately move Quinn away from the attack, as I take the hit directly!

Any barrier I conjured is severed instantly!

My entire soul is sliced in half!

"Neet!" cries Quinn, as my mind seems to begin to blackout.
