Chapter 79 Adam (Part 2)
Chapter 79 Adam (Part 2)
"Sugar?"
"Yes… Please." Greive said, with a face that made him look ten years older than his actual age, as he looked at the Existence in front I him refilling his cup with tea.
Talking with the Existence who dragged him to another world made him feel like he was just a speck of dust and he felt his soul being sucked out of his body, and that was just after hearing about the existence of the God of Void and the God of Creation, as well as the primordial particles.
Greive took a sip from his cup and enjoyed tea more than he ever did before.
"But why do you need me to be involved in all of this, sir?" Greive asked, looking at the being in front of him who might as well have been God for all he knew. 'Why did God need the help of a mere human?' He thought.
As a human, he tried to save humanity from those who controlled the Earth from the shadow. Countless heroes who were in the same position perished every day while protecting those who were ignorant but no one remembered them.
This time too, Greive was just one of those who decided that those who were the ignorance deserved to choose before the project A.D.A.M took place, after all, this project could potentially kill more than eighty percent of the people living on Earth, just so that humans could evolve to the next level of their existence.
"Greive Adams, as a person, you are quite interesting. As you can see, I am quite talkative so your reward will be knowledge, but you won't view the world, or should I say the concept of reality, like before again from that moment onward." The existence said, talking in a very distinct tone which made the listener extremely calm and absorbed. It was as if he was using some kind of magical charm.
"I feel like I would regret it if I turn back now," Greive answered, feeling a little anxious, but his curiosity got the better of him. After all, he was not a searcher and a scientist for nothing.
Greive couldn't gauge the Existence's reaction, as he was unable to picture their real face even though he was looking at them. He was not even sure if the concept of gender applied to this kind of being.
"Where do I begin…"
The existence began to tell Greive about things that could be only considered great scripts for a fantasy or sci-fi movie.
"… Let's talk about the Earth and humans first. How did the first human come to existence? I believe that his creator called him Adam. This creator was a supreme being, similar to myself, with unimaginable power, and so he wanted to create another being that looked like him. I don't know about the reason, but when you get too powerful, you tend to lose the sense of what's real."
But the Existence didn't tell Greive that there were only three supreme beings. Each one of them with distinct power which was omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience, but all of them were incomplete beings.
"He created his own universe and created Adam by imitating the human race from the original dimension, then he restricted primordial to reach this universe, to find out what happens if the living beings didn't have powers. He also wanted to replicate the Tree of Life with one of the original fruit, and Earth was one of the places he chose for his experimentation. As you probably know, he failed and then vanished, probably, because he just lost interest." The existence continued, but his words suggested that there was more to the story.
This kind of revelation made Greive wonder if he knew anything about the universe at all. 'How did such a being come to existence?' He wondered.
After all, when the God of Creation used his power to seal the God of Void, then he transferred his power elsewhere, and from the Existence's words, this cosmic energy crystallized into the Tree of life.
But as time passed by, the Creation and Destruction authorities became self-aware and the tree divided itself into fragments, which created primordial particles, that were scattered all around the tangible multiverse. Then the fragments also began to find their way to multiple worlds, creating yet other realities.
So that means that the Tree of life must have been the cause of the birth of these supreme beings, or so Greive thought.
"Anyway, what is important is that humanity got their hand on a Fruit of life and ate it, but their body couldn't handle it and he became defective and died. Well, there's also the fact that corruption could infest this world even though primordial particles couldn't, and it's a poison for every conscious and intelligent being, giving birth to every kind of horror. Unfortunately, your son also ate this fruit, and he died soon after, but this time I gave him a second chance by dragging his soul here." The Existence added.
Greive just looked stupefied, unable to fully comprehend what he just heard.
"I know, it's not easy for a simple human to grasp all of that." The existence said, seeing Greive's expression. "Unlike what you think, even I can't predict the result of the action of things that don't exist in any of the realities or timelines yet. However, when they exist, I can observe every possibility as long as I search long enough. And Mark, his existence was something that I need, and curiously, only the modified version of him in this timeline and this universe could bring us to the results that everyone needs."
Parallel universes, different worlds, different realities, different timelines, all of them were concepts that existed, but Greive wouldn't be able to understand everything even if the Existence told him everything he knew.
"In other words, an event that is beyond every possibility, and opens the link to the Second Primordial dimension. Something that even I can't see through, because it's beyond my power. Exciting, right?"
Greive nodded, but he couldn't even picture what the existence was saying, and it was so beyond him.
"But for that to happen, there are few things that need to be taken into consideration, and everything must follow the path that I have seen without a single deviation because it would create countless alternative timelines that would lead to different outcomes again. And even if I go to the past and change what happened, there will be countless things that must be taken into consideration again, leading to more probabilities, and to find the right equation to create what you may call, a canon timeline, it might take eons. This is why humans call ignorance a bliss."
Greive could just nod without saying anything because he already knew that he was no different from a newborn baby in front of this Existence. "Sir, would you please tell me what is your goal, and what is Mark's role in all of it?"
"Mark has to destroy me, that will be his role, and he is the only one who can do it, in a way that will create a new conclusion for this battle, and at the same time, new answers. Of course, there's a reason for this, but this is enough for you." The existence said.
"I understand." Greive nodded and accepted the existence's answer without any question. He felt like he didn't have the right to ask him.
To be precise, the infinite multiverses where Adam existed were just a part of a bigger plan. It was just an autonomous body that exist inside of the second Primordial dimension. A prison created by the God of Creation to trap his brother.
It was nothing more than a tiny part of what's beyond it, and even supreme beings couldn't go beyond it…
[Your presence is very inconvenient and Adam should not take notice of it. That should be enough for your observation and for whoever is listening to you.]

*****
Adam's goal was still the same despite everything that he has been experiencing these last few days. He was still trying to find a soulmate, deep inside of his heart he still hasn't given up, and he tried to become stronger to protect whoever would become his wife. Ever since he came to this world, this was his goal, but sometimes, the circumstances made him forget about this.
"I am curious, why are you doing this?" Adam asked, looking at Rudeus.
Rudeus understood that Adam wasn't listening to him at all. "The same reason as you are fighting for."
"The same reason? Are you also unmarried… Well, whatever the reason is, I can't forgive you, and it looks like you don't want to settle this with words, so let's finish this now." Adam said, and a black plasma sword materialized in his hand.
It was close, he was close to the gate of death, but he managed to use his power of creation for a split second to create this sword which was made of antimatter.
