Chapter 154: Sovereign’s Edicts; Final Goal

Edicts.

It is something that I used in the past during my time as a Sovereign. At the level of a Creator, just their words can affect the nomological laws, the fundamental rules where a universe revolves into. If not for the fact that the [Will of the Universe] constantly suppresses such creators, a single one could've turned a world into their own paradise with separate laws.

Sadly, it can only be done above the creator realm.

This universe's reality, which is changing a moment ago, froze before it accepted the new commands. Though, it has to be said that it only went smoothly since this is what the other <Creator God> realm wants—the Law of Cycles.

"It's... happening."

"It is."

Homu-homu looked blankly on the distance, but I can tell that what she's seeing right now are the things that she wanted to see, namely: This singularity's future.

Due to our interference, everything went well. There's no sacrifices, and the Incubators whom have made them suffer for years had died from my final attack.

I saw tears falling from her eyes as she felt a huge sense of relief, as if a huge planet was taken off her shoulders.

While I do not want to interrupt this, I have to continue my thing.

"{Let this universe have the ability to sustain itself!}"

At my words, this world trembled once more. A faint will began to awaken in the depths of its core. Surprisingly, the Law of Cycles present in this singularity, the one that was separated from Madoka, fused with it, causing it to become stronger.

The will instantly received the power of a <Creator God> with no signs of stopping.

Meanwhile, Homu-homu got confused with all of this as she asked, "This..? The Law of Cycles had truly become one with the world?"

"That's right. I didn't expect that I would be able to cause all of this, though."

She went silent as she wiped off her tears. Then, her eyes widened as she realized my intent behind this.

"You... You did this for those girls?"

"Yep. Now... You should sleep for a while."

Right after I said that, she lost her consciousness. Part of it is because of the loss of her powers, but the main reason is...

"It's here."

A blue circle resembling a swirl appeared out of nothingness. From it is a temporary connection between it and the newborn will that I've induced.

"I" am finally in this sh*t again.

Crushing one of the two remaining [Time Card] in my hand, I manipulated it to summon [The Supreme Magus—Shiro (???)]. Behind me, a faint phantom that emitted an aura of endless knowledge.

It only took a single glimpse of his to understand what is going on. Really, as expected of "me"...

"The plan to reunite as a single being worked, I see. I didn't expect for this theory of mine to be proven like this."

A soft androgynous sound resounded in this reality as he spoke. A sharp glint appeared on his insightful golden pupils before heaving a sigh of relief.

"Still anxious? Looks like you really got the 'planner' side, haha!"

"...Shut up."

From the beginning, we are one and the same. For some reasons, we ended up being split into two after the conceptual attack from the [Steel Leviathans] hit us. We entered a new world from different time zones and lived our life fully. However, while he ended up with the safe one, I was left with the dysfunctional one.

Simply put, I can end the infinite realities if I'm left unattended. If all the [Wills] resist, perhaps a good portion of it would remain, leaving the rest to disappear.

Hence, the reason why I am left with no choice but to accept this fact.

"Let's go."

"Let's."

I stood up from my throne as I left Homura in the throne. I then materialized my most trusty sword. This black sword, which served as my soul armament from the beginning, had been my blade when killing, destroying, and creating. As for its [True Name], it is a very simple one.

When I got it, the first thing that I wanted to do is to shatter the darkness that loomed over the tall skies. My fate, a not-so-good one, is something that I wished to obliterate and change.

Therefore—

"[Dreamer's Dawn]."

The black blade shook as it let out the huge reserves of power that I had been reserving for cases like this. My receding aura that was about to faint became strong once more. The image of my former self overlapped with my current state that of a child's.

On my side is "Shiro" whose visage solidified. He held the oversized staff filled with jewels that contained his power as he utilized his knowledge to complete our purpose this time.

Then, we performed our moves simultaneously. I hacked my blade at its direction while he tapped the end of his staff onto the "ground".

Slash-!

Tap-!

A moment later, a large portion of the blue swirl separated from its core. "Shiro" made a grasping gesture before the blue light seeped into his palm. His already solidified visage became even clearer due to his existence being more "solid".

As for the blue swirl, it simply disappeared. Still, its job has been done, which is to grant powers to newly-created [Will of the Universe].

"I'll be doing as planned."

"Shiro" touched the back of my head using his staff as he transferred the portion of [The Root] into myself. Most of it went into the [System] to better control the portion of [The Root], the core of my <ORIGIN STATE>. It is far stronger than the former, thus creating this imbalance. As a result, it can only partially calm it down, preventing it from going berserk due to the certain circumstances that surrounded it.

As for the remaining portion of it, they went to the awakening of [Third True Magic—Heaven's Feel]. Since that portion is technically a pathway to [The Root], it became possible to do it like this.

"How is it?" He asked softly while he panted heavily.

[Responding to Master: The system's current capabilities can now suppress its effects up to 95%.]

It's only been around... well, 60% before? This is a huge increase.

"This is lesser than expected, but..."

Just as he is about to finish his words, he dispersed into white particles. Though, I understood what he's about to say.

"...but it's alright. We really did capitalize on this single chance, huh."

In the first place, [The Root] is something that has sentience. After the stunt that we've pulled, it is no longer possible to surprise it with our remnant <Beyond Creator> powers. It only worked due to the various causes that aligned together. Meaning, this siphoning of its power is only a one-time chance.

Still, it is enough to resolve the most pressing matter that we have.

"Sigh... Everything's over-"

As soon as the power from my armament dissipated, I felt insanely weak. I collapsed on the ground, but I refused to let everything end like this. I ignored my pale complexion and called out to the [System].

System.

[Yes, master.]

Sacrifice the remaining <Ancient God> entities and follow my will.

[I understand. Conversion...]

It is finally time to truly put an end to this.
