6 Chaos.

Vita was now sure that this soul is very strange. She has never seen anything like it before. It has all the paths of life, Grim told her that destiny was avoiding it, and now the soul didn't go through the samsara cycle, where it would be cleansed of the previous life's memory and be sent to a random world, it went straight into a newborn. Now she knows why this soul was born into the same world, twice. But even though it went straight into a newborn, it still forgot it's previous life. This soul doesn't make any sense. The soul is also changing bit by bit as they go through its past lives. It turns redder and redder everytime they finished a reincarnation. Black spots also appeared. One spot per life. Vita looked at this soul more seriously than before. 'What are you?'

-----

The two of them went through a lot of lives. Vita just accepted that this soul doesn't go to the samsara cycle and just latches on to the next available life that has no soul in it yet. The more they go from memory to memory the more curious Vita gets about the soul. The soul almost never left earth. After a few dozen reincarnations in this world, they finally saw themselves go out of it. But by this time though, the soul has seen so many memories and lives that belonged to it, that it doesn't know what his appropriate name should be. It had been a girl, Amazonian. It was even ironic when he was killed by a Spartan when he was Persian, then be reincarnated into the son of the Spartan that killed him.

The crazy stuff happened when he was Zeus. Zeus existing was a shocker, an even bigger shock when the soul found that he was Zeus. Zeus came from a different world. The world was full of magic and Zeus was experimenting with lightning transport. He wanted to transform into lightning, ride the skies and land into another place. It did better than he anticipated when he transformed into a bolt of lightning, rode a storm that headed outside of his world. He couldn't escape for a long time until he found earth and made a literal religion by experimentation on humans. He created gods and a lot of myths from the results. They all died though. His experiments weren't on the genetic level so every experiment died, one way or another. He also perished because of old age.

-----

After the millionth life, Vita and the soul ended up in front of a seal. 'A seal in a soul sphere?' Vita looked curiously at the seal. 'It's old, really really old. A few billion chaos cycles at least.' Vita was looking at the inscriptions in the seal. Some of it is ancient even by her standards. That is a lot coming from her since she existed for more than a googol of chaos cycles now. 'No. This is not right. It's cracked, more like, it was created with the intentions of being weakened as the years go by.' She then looked at the soul who is now just a pure black humanoid with red parts. "A seal that stops me from seeing my memories? No, It stops my memory from coming out." The soul exclaimed.

After seeing the lives of a million beings, he was also gaining all of their experiences and knowledge. He was a cultivator, a mage and a warrior, the three ways to gain power in the multi-verse. He already lost count on how many chaos cycles his soul went through after counting up to 2,000,000 chaos cycles. One of his lives when he was a cultivator, he lived for 150,000 chaos cycles, only to die because he was betrayed by his wife. For one reason or another, he was always a man, or woman with no interests with men, he doesn't complain though.

"By the looks of it, it is simply blocking your soul from being whole. I think the moment it becomes whole, something big will happen. I wonder what." Vita said.

-----

During this is happening, something else was brewing around the multi-verse. A lot of this is because of some beings who practice the dao of space-time, the dao of destiny and the dao of karma, is seeing a future that something is coming. It will create a ripple that will reach everything, or it would seem like it would create a ripple. None of them can be sure, every time they try to know what is coming, something is stopping them.

--------

In one of the universes.

"Your Majesty! Something is happening!"

A human soldier who is wearing a golden armor runs towards a throne. Sitting on it is a radiant dwarf. A full, long beard that is braided. All of his hair and beard is black as it can be. He wears an armor that looks like it was made from a dragon. All black with scales that glistens. Two small dragon heads on the shoulders. It was Godking Hornum. He is a god-king of the dao of the forge. He rules over a thousand of universes, he was revered by all of them as he makes sure that every one of them is properly armed and provided.

"What is it? Come out with it. I have a lot of people to see today Lord Neil." said the Hornum. "The Colony is making a lot of noises sir. The ants have been celebrating something, in fact, every universe under them are also celebrating. Some of them are even invading other universes for the celebration." Neil said. The god-king's eyes widen from the news. 'Something is coming. The ants were never this excited for something.'

The ants were one of the oldest and one of the most powerful clans in the whole of reality. They were there even before even Hornum was born, and he was already exactly a billion of chaos cycle old. The ants were peace-loving, even if somebody attacks them, they won't retaliate by killing. They will capture you and hold a trial in front of your original world's top experts and their own top experts. It will be fair. Heck, even if they went to war, the casualties are only the people with so much negative karma that their soul-memories actually have to be erased to remove the karma. For these ants to actually invade other universes now means something is coming and they are preparing for it.

"Have you contacted them yet? Which universes are they invading? Does it include universes under us? Have you asked why they are invading other universes?" Asked the god-king. "They deny that they are invading them, sir. We already asked them and they only told us that it is time, he's returning according to the Misstress. They have to prepare for his return. They said that they are not invading the universes and they are only spreading the news. In fact, they also want us to spread the news." Neil reported. "As of right now, we have no idea who is returning or who is this Misstress they're talking about," added Neil.

"Very well, thank you for the report. You can go now. On your way out tell my secretary to cancel everything I have for today and just call the council and all the representatives of the chaosverse." Hornum is now a bit worried. 'If the ants are this agitated, who is returning? I might need the ancestors' advice for this. I just wish that whoever or whatever it is, it will not endanger my chaosverse.'

In another part of reality. In the middle of the void, a voice exclaimed "My tracker is appearing. I need to go there, I might even see him opening his eyes. Here comes your servant." Out of nowhere a portal appeared and closed again.

------

Somewhere. A beautiful lady was sitting on a mat that is floating on space. Legs crossed, sipping tea and looking at the void. She wears a traditional japanese kimono that has a lot of things sewn into it. It doesn't look sewn though. The things on her dress are moving out and about in the kimono. Fire, water, earth, wind, a black shadow, a shining light, a picture of a hammer, an animal drawing that is moving around her dress, there was even a tree that changes like how trees change every season. There were a lot more. The most eye-catching of all, however, is that there is a drawing of a halo that goes around her waist. All of the things that are moving around her dress comes in and out of the halo. The fire comes in and a book comes out to fly around the dress, the water is sucked into the halo and a star come out the other way.

As she was looking at the void, she smiles and says with the gentle but high voice "Here he comes, my darling, my husband, my love. Come back to me,

...Chaos."
