Lunar Supremacy: The Original Alpha

Chapter 191 Unfated

?

"Did you enjoy your conversation with that being from the third dimension?" a voice of immense power boomed, causing the entire space to tremble under its overwhelming presence. Each word spoken seemed capable of obliterating entire worlds.

The old man, who had talked to Vincent before, raised his head to gazed at a colossal figure in the sky. The sheer size of the being made his face alone as large as five moons combined. With golden hair and orange eyes that seemed to penetrate everything, the figure sported a smile reminiscent of a child who had just discovered a new toy.

"Oh, it's unusual for you to come to my domain, Ra," the old man spoke with nonchalance, displaying no trace of fear despite the immense presence of the giant figure before him.

"Astronaur, my old friend, can't I simply visit a you? This place is dreadfully dull, and all the gods here are so boring. I must admit, I enjoyed my time more when I resided in the third dimension," Ra chuckled, and gradually his colossal form diminished until he stood at a normal size.

Hovering down, he sat in front of the old man.

"I know you're bored. You've been keeping an eye on me ever since that young man arrived," Astronaur replied, taking a sip of his coffee.

"I overheard your entire conversation. You didn't even bother to conceal it," Ra chuckled, his amusement evident.

"Why should I bother? He will simply forget everything once he leaves this place," he replied casually.

"That's not the issue here ...That young man is an unfated one, you know. According to the protocols, you were supposed to report it to the highest council if you encounter someone unbound by fate. What exactly are you planning, Astronaur?" Ra squinted his eyes, attempting to unravel his old friend intentions.

"Oh, I must have overlooked that detail," Astronaur chuckled.

"Bullshit! You're the Original god of space... Do you think I'm going to believe that? You even concealed his aura within your domain. The only reason I was able to overhear your conversation was because I had intended to visit you in the first place."

"Or is it really just a coincidence?" Ra paused for a moment as he realized something .

"You sly old fox, you wanted me to hear everything all along," Ra chuckled, his voice filled with amazement. 

"You're not as foolish as you appear," Astronaur responded with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

However, Ra remained unfazed and silent. He might be prideful and arrogant, but he was still aware of his own limitations. Despite Astronaur's relatively amicable demeanor compared to the other gods, Ra recognized that he was still talking to an Original God with immense power—a force not to be tested lightly.

"What are you planning?" Ra asked, his expression turning serious. 

Astronaur didn't respond immediately. Instead, he picked up the marbled kettle and poured a cup of coffee for Ra, offering it as a gesture of goodwill and hospitality.

"You've already stated it yourself, this place is indeed boring," Astronaur replied with a somber tone.

"Unlike you, who experienced life in the third dimension, my existence has always been confined to this realm. The eternal monotony and lack of purpose weigh heavily upon me. It's a curse, a never-ending cycle of stagnancy that drains the joy and excitement out of my existence."

"If you find it boring here, then you can't even fathom the depths of my boredom. Living in this place feels like a punishment," Astronaur expressed, emphasizing the weariness and dissatisfaction he had experienced throughout his time in the fourth dimension .

Given absolute power by an unknown entity, someone even he himself didn't know, Astronaur and the other Original Gods felt as though they simply existed for the sake of existing, without a clear purpose.

Initially, this fact didn't bother him much. Because other gods like Ra would transcend to this realm, gradually increasing its population. However, due to everyone's preoccupation with their own world domains, genuine connections and relationships remained elusive.

"Are you planning to incite another God's War?" Ra asked, his tone firm and resolute.

Although he had transcended to this realm after the conclusion of the First God's War, he was well aware of its history.

The First God's War was led by Chronom, the Original God of Time, in an attempt to access what they referred to as the Fifth Dimension. Their goal was to communicate with the being responsible for creating this reality in the first place. However, their endeavors were swiftly halted by the High Council, and Chronom was sealed away without achieving anything significant.

"Do you genuinely believe in the existence of a fifth dimension? The existence of a being who controls our reality ?" Astronaur inquired, curious to hear Ra's perspective on the matter.

"I have to, otherwise, how can I explain this peculiar feeling in my chest? From the moment I became a god, there has been an instinct that compels me to pursue even greater power," Ra expressed, emphasizing the urge that had driven him since his ascension.

"I envy you for at least having that urges " Astronaur sighed. 

"I've heard that the Original Gods and the High Council don't experience these urges. Perhaps it is because you were born directly in this realm with absolute power?" Ra posed the question, one that had been troubling him for a considerable time.

"It is indeed true, but let us shift our focus to more important matters," Astronaur agreed, redirecting the conversation to a different topic .

"To be honest with you, I don't believe in the concept of the Fifth Dimension at all. I believe that rather than looking upward, we should instead look downward," Astronaur began to explain his perspective.

"Are you referring to the third dimension? You do realize that it's impossible for us to return there. Our very words alone could obliterate entire planets!" Ra exclaimed, emphasizing the immense power they possessed and the risks involved in attempting to interact with the third dimension.

"I don't believe it's impossible, and I know of something that can transcend that barrier. Have you ever considered what has remained consistent throughout the fourth dimension?" Astronaur inquired, piquing Ra's curiosity.

"Stop beating around the bush, what is it?" Ra demanded impatiently.

"I have existed here since the very beginning, and there is one thing that has remained consistent... the rule that all Unfated should be purge," Astronaur stated bluntly.

"At first, I never questioned that law, but I began to ponder. What if the unfated held some kind of secret?" he added.

Ra was momentarily taken aback by Astronaur's words. 

"I thought the reason they purge the unfated was because they bring chaos wherever they go," he replied, his tone expressing  uncertainty.

"That's what the High Council claims, but to be honest with you, all the unfated individuals I have encountered were not as terrible as they were portrayed. The Council insists that unfated beings have the potential to bring destruction to their worlds once they attain power, but we lack concrete evidence to verify the truth of those claims. However, one thing is certain: unfated individuals possess the ability to become gods without being constrained to the fourth dimension," Astronaur elaborated, shedding light on his observations and the unique nature of the unfated.

"Unfated," Ra could not help but muttered those words after hearing Astronaur's theory.
