GRAND LAW - The Key Role

"...Please enlighten me...!"

The dark reigner asked, "Do you have any other doubts that you want to ask?"

";;;;... No, thanks. Too much time has passed. It is better to get it over with the main forum!", and I already wasted two of my precious chances due to my stupid curiosity. But, I at least found out something new. So, I began to cheer up. I cleared my mind and sharpened my senses for what was about to be revealed. I locked my gaze straight onto the Dark Reigner. And he began to reveal.

"The war that you saw was later termed the 'War of Origins'. After a few thousand years, a weird phenomenon occurred. Beings with irregular shapes and mixed powers of mine, Martha's and Kraissilis's began to move rampant over all the three realms. We called that weird phenomenon 'The Anonymous Emergence'!"

I engaged in the elaboration, "Are these beings stronger than your average living gods? Did they pose any threat to the origin entities?"

The dark reigner continued, "Of course, they were no match for us or the gods. But they did pose a threat to us in a way...!"

I interpreted, "In a way? How? You, Martha and Kraissilis are origin entities, aren't you? How did those irregulars pose a threat to you guys?"

"I like the term 'irregulars', but at that time we called them 'The Crooks'...!", he exclaimed.

[... Both are the same. Why do you people keep on getting fixated on simple terms?]

"We are supreme entities. And using simple terms would only be a disgrace to our pride!", Dark reigner replied. He read my mind.

---gasp---

"I am extremely sorry, sir!!!", I apologized loudly while sweating. I don't want to be stuck in the wall for another two hours.

I continued, "So, what was the way that they posed a threat to you and the others?"

Dark reigner continued his elaboration.

"The Crooks were being rampant in all the three realms. But, we origin entities still didn't involve ourselves in this mess. We decided to watch everything from the sidelines until the true cause of the weird phenomena unfolded... But we miscalculated everything. As the Crooks continued to engage rampantly, they began to evolve into even more scary beings. Their shapes shifted, grew large and began to use the powers of dwellers that they killed. Later, we began to call them 'Mutant asymmetrons' !"

[;;;; Again with the complicated terms...]

"The mutant asymmetrons were much more berserk. In just a few days, they began to reign supreme over the gods of low-level and medium-level worlds. After killing the gods, the mutant asymmetrons began to hunt down the gods of higher realms. Their monstrosity remained second to none of the dwellers. Later, living beings called them the 'Outer Gods', the dead called them the 'Cursed reapers' and the infinitos called them the 'Dark Crevasses'...!", he paused the elaboration.

I took the initiative to ask him, "Crevasses?"

He interpreted, "Large cracks that occur on a surface are what Crevasses are. In the absolute abyss, they first emerged from the ground creating massive holes on the surface!"

No wonder those crooks and mutant asymmetrons got such a weird name only in the absolute abyss and not in the afterlife or realm of the living. But 'Dark Crevasses' isn't bad either. It just sounded less cool than the other two aliases.

I attempted, "Can you continue from where you left off?"

The dark reigner responded,

"While the crooks were running rampant and growing stronger, I met Martha and Kraissilis. We began to search for the cause of this phenomenon and found one thing in common... Every asymmetron originated from debris. That debris belonged to the first 'War of Origins'. That's when all three of us realized our mistakes. Just like how the origin of aftermath came into existence, the mutant asymmetrons came into existence from the unstable fluctuations and flow of the power of dark, light and death...!"

";;;..!", I too realized something. Whenever he ends an explanation, he pauses for a second. Then he said, "Those beings were the after-effects of our conflicts. During the first war of origins, battles took place over all three realms. Living beings and the dead invaded my realm and the infinitos invaded the realm of Martha and Kraissilis. The debris was left as it was after the war. Thinking that some dwellers would experiment with the debris, we closed the pathways to those worlds. Only I, Martha and Kraissilis had the authority to open portals to those worlds in each of our respective realms. But, because we wrapped those worlds from outer space, the remains of the debris who died with their powers intact began to surf everywhere. For thousands of years, those powers overlapped with each other and the debris vaporized and formed a new shape. Thus, leading to the existence of hybrids with combined powers and unknown abilities!"

I attempted, "I still didn't get how they were a threat?"

"Their rampages resulted in the deaths of supreme beings that were second to us. The dwellers of the dark, the light and the afterlife began to lose some of their authorities. The power balance started to crumble. Before it can get even worse, we origin entities used our authorities and summoned all those asymmetrons from our realms to the neutral dimension forcefully...!", he concluded.

I questioned, "Neutral dimension?"

He slightly smiled and said, "The battle that you saw through my authority took place in the neutral dimension!"

"Oh...!", I exclaimed.

"We didn't kill them but made them unaware of us by reigning our least powerful sovereignty over them. Witnessing our might, some of the crooks and mutant asymmetrons declared their allegiance to us by bowing down their heads while a few tried to engage towards us. The one who engaged us turned into smithereens unable to withstand our sovereignty. The ones who witnessed the scene trembled in fear...

According to my memory, nearly a hundred million irregulars were present and more than ten million irregulars turned into smithereens who tried to attack us origin entities!"

---gulp---

I swallowed my saliva after listening to the last part.

[They killed more than ten million irregulars just like that? Doesn't that mean they killed a hundred million gods without a drop of sweat? How can they be so limitless?]

Dark reigner carried on with the story.

"But, some of the crooks and asymmetrons escaped from our grasp. We were unable to resummon them...!"

I attempted, "Wait, you were unable to resummon them even though you had the authority to?"

Dark reigner said, "Yes!!"

I became puzzled. He then revealed something new, "Just like how we origin entities reigned supreme with our sovereignties and authorities, the crooks and mutant asymmetrons reigned supreme with unknown abilities. On that occasion, we didn't have the time to analyse the unknown abilities of all the hundred million irregulars. We tried to take responsibility by allowing them to live a new life. They were spawned by our actions. If there was no war, these entities would have never spawned. So, we didn't want to kill them since it was us origin entities who started everything in the first place!"

[This reason can be declared as well justified.]

"Taking that situation as an advantage, more than thirty million crooks and mutant asymmetrons together escaped to different realms with teleportation abilities. What's more, is that they were even having stealth abilities. The remaining sixty million irregulars pledged their allegiance to all three of us...!"

I interrupted, "What did you do about the sixty million irregulars?"

"We began to divide the crooks and mutant asymmetrons according to the powers that were resonating from them. There were twelve million irregulars whose proficiency prevailed in the power of darkness and were teleported to my castle hall. Thirty-one million irregulars proficiently resonated with the power of light and were teleported to Martha's training ground instead of her castle. The remaining irregulars' proficiency skyrocketed in the power of death and were teleported to Kraissilis's underground laboratory!"

The dark reigner took a deep breath and began chuckling, "What's funny was that Martha worked day and night without a break for a whole year. She took that long to assign each and every irregular the authority of an observer for different sub-realms and universes. The same thing happened to Kraissilis. When I met them after one year, both of them seemed very gloomy. Hahahahaha...!"

I felt sorry towards those two for being kindled by the dark reigner. I asked him, "How long did it take you?"

He smirked and replied, "It took me just one month with five drills of daily breaks to complete my task. With my supreme sovereignty, I scanned the innate natures of a hundred irregulars at once and assigned the authority of an observer to each and everyone in their suitable zone!"

So, the dark reigner finished a huge task while resting ten hours a day, within a single month. That's the gist of it.

I asked, "What about the thirty million escapees?"

The dark reigner continued, "After we finished assigning posts to the crooks and the mutant asymmetrons, we gave everyone their first task. And that was to find the whereabouts of the escapees. Ten thousand years had passed and we were only able to eliminate one million irregulars. The progress was rather slow. But, that's when one of the loyal crooks reported the whereabouts of another escapee. We engaged in the hunt as we always did before... But this time it was different. It was the occasion that led to the emergence of...'Grand laws'!"

[Here it comes. The main topic that I was dying to know.]
