Chapter 3, Awakening 2

CREAAAK

Hearing the unmistakable sound of the coffin cover's opening, she immediately focused all her senses on what would come out.

A few seconds later a pale hand pushed the cover slightly and made its presence known.

Although the pale hand looked thin and very weak, this hand could still destroy entire galaxies.

After the pale hand was the entire arm that was covered with a long traditional suit of a very old era that covered his whole arm.

Then the being immediately pushed the cover to the side and was going to fall on his face after pulling his legs outside the coffin, but he immediately focused slightly on the muscles in his thin legs and managed to stand stably.

What came from inside the coffin was a sickly young man who had pale skin with long black hair, black eyes with a very handsome face if it weren't for his sickly pale face that would give the impression of someone who has one foot in the grave.

He was a tall young man 190cm tall, he was wearing an ancient traditional black suit that covered his whole body.

As he stood outside the coffin, his complexion started to get better as color started to return to his face making him appear as a youth in his twenties with a healthy complexion.

His pale and empty body started to be filled with muscles with his face's complexion returning to before he slept, his body was also returning to its peak shape outwardly, but from the inside, he was still empty of energy.

Finding that his body condition is better than a few seconds from before, he focused around him and noticed that he was in a dark room that was only lit by a small lamp on the side of the room.

Sensing something in front of him, he turned to his and saw a woman kneeling on one knee while tears were falling from her eyes as she kept her head down while saying,

"Welcome master."

Seeing the only person in this Universe that he cares about, he smiled slightly with his handsome face while looking at the kneeling beautiful woman in front of him.

"I am back," he said with a small smile.

???? POV

Hmm?

What is this uncomfortable feeling?

What was the last thing I did?

Hmm….

I think…

I don't rememb…

Ohh, Yes...

I remember now

The last thing I did was land on some blue planet in some corner of the Universe with the child I was taking care of.

There was an advanced human civilization on this remote planet which was really weird.

Then what happened?

Hmmm…

Something…

I am forgetting something…

Yes, I remember

I devoured them all and allowed the planet that stopped evolving because of the large number of waste that was polluting the planet to continue its evolution.

Did I do this because I am a lover of Nature?

Of course NOT

It is just the planet that I was going to use to sleep, so it should be clean.

What a pitiful planet...

Why did I get attracted to this solar system?

Hmmm…

I do wonder…

I don't remember at all.

Did I leave any humans alive?

Probably?

Well, I am sure that some of them managed to escape, but I swallowed their technology that was harming the planet…

If I left them they would have discovered the place where I will rest since I will be sleeping on this planet for a while.

As for my reasons, it was because of a stomachache.

You don't simply swallow 90% of the races of the Universe and walk away safely.

After ending my rampage for a million years, I figured that I needed some rest to digest all I have swallowed so my bloodline can evolve, and to reach the stage that my benefactor told me about.

Hmm…

But now where was I?

It is all darkness here.

Ohhh, yes that is my coffin, that means that my body finished adapting and I am walking up since I started to feel my toes.

But why is it so weak and so empty of energy? Something like that wouldn't have happened unless I fought for a few hundred thousand years with someone of the same caliber as me.

But that is impossible since there is no one who is on the same power level as me in the Universe.

Yes, this Universe, but out of the Universe, that is something to look for when I am ready to venture outside.

So for now what made me lose all the energy in my body?

Hmm…

Ohh

I see…

Well, that is interesting.

But this is something to look at in the future, as of right now without mana or divine or demonic energy in my body, I can try nothing.

I wonder how the little girl is doing and if she has woken up already or if will I be waking up before her.

And I am curious about what happened with the remaining races that I didn't kill.

I remember leaving the vampire, werewolves, angels, and demons alive.

Oh and there was the human race, but that race copulates like rabbits so, of course, they would survive, if I am doubting whether I finished them here on this small planet, then it must be dubious whether I eradicated them all.

Did I eradicate the gods?

Hmm…

I can't remember, but I probably left them alive as they hid in their dimensions when I was rampaging, and at the time I wasn't of the right mind, so I didn't bother eradicating them.

So what should I do after walking up on this barren land?

First I should wake up little Ava if she is still asleep, and then I will just tour the Universe without devouring anyone.

Why not?

The answer is simple.

Because I already evolved my bloodline to a very high level, and swallowing what remains of the races in the Universe won't be useful in any way, maybe they can help replenish my energy reserves.

As of right now with the energy reserves, I have, I probably won't be able to kill a fly.

Hmm?

Oh yes, I can use my physical strength easily, but that is a very barbaric way of fighting.

After being born, fighting, and evolving all these billions of years, the excitement one would get isn't as great as it was.

Although I was practically a slave to the Universe at the beginning and had a weak will, the Universal Will was generous enough to leave me a small space of freedom which was during my fights.

Although this excitement from fights turned into boredom when I fought with all kinds of opponents as the years passed and I evolved to a very high level, all the people become very weak in my eyes.

But I will still have to thank this small space of freedom as this is what allowed me to be freed from shackles imposed on me by the Universal WILL when that existence helped me in exchange for a favor in the distant future.

Enough about that for now.

Why?

Because I could finally move my whole body and its time to push the lid of my coffin.
