The Birth of Evelyn: God of Justice

[[Master, transferring every living being on our planet to the infinite realm is now completed.]]

"Alice, control everything from now on. I'll see everything, and I know that among the people you transferred to this planet, some of them are good and some of them are bad. But put a restriction on using mana for now. After everything is settled, then I'll give them mana."

[[Yes, Master. I'll restrict the complete mana use on this planet. No one will be able to use any skills or power from now on. Also, I'll provide everyone with shelter and supplies.]]

I thought so. If I don't restrict mana usage, people will die for their greed. And this is not their planet; technically, it's my body and my space. I'll make the rules. When everything settles, I'll think about what to do about mana.

"So, I have an offer for you, and you will not regret it. Also, it will sound crazy, but it will work perfectly."

{{Tell me what your crazy idea is. Also, I don't have a choice.}}

"I don't want to lose my Homeworld completely, so I'll give you one chance: combine yourself with my planet core. Also, you will always be connected to me like my body. In the future, when this planet evolves into a solar system, you will evolve with me."

"After combining with my planet core, your world worb system will evolve with me. This will be helpful for me to manage my Empire in the future because I'm going to absorb everything I see on my journey into my infinite realm, and you will be managing everything."

{{You're saying this is a little crazy idea of yours. I think for your definition of crazy, it's something else than everyone. Hahaha! Of course, I'm ready. Let's do this. I know what kind of person you are.}}

"Good, let's get going. There's no more time left, and we have to leave this place before any other enemies arrive. I'll handle them in the future, but now is not the time to fight. First, I have to prepare for them."

After teleporting outside, I found myself in space, looking at my planet. This view is the same as what people see from the International Space Station. My home planet is truly beautiful. Well, I'll never have to miss it because I'm going to absorb this whole planet to evolve my own planet. It will become a part of myself from now on.

I pointed my hand in the direction of Earth and checked my evolution path innate ability.

[PATH ABILITY:] Celestial Absorption:

- Description: In addition to the natural progression along your evolution path, you possess the ability to absorb celestial bodies and entities as your power develops. By assimilating their essence, you can hasten your rank advancement, accelerate your growth, and unlock new levels of power.

- Enhanced Abilities: Assimilation of celestial energies, rank advancement catalyst, accelerated evolution.

- Power Level: Dependent on absorbed celestial bodies.

[ Celestial Absorption]

As I activated this ability, a massive black hole began to form. It was so enormous that even Earth appeared small in comparison. I watched as the whole Earth got absorbed into my black hole.

After 15 minutes, Earth had been completely assimilated, and all its energy flowed directly into my infinite realm. I then deactivated my skill, and the black hole vanished as if it had never existed.

[[Master, I stored all the energy in the infinite realm, and I extracted the Earth's planet core from the planet. I will now begin the task of combining the Earth planet core with our planet core.]]

[[Secondary core and Earth core combination task is in process... 0.1%... 0.2%...]]

[[Estimated time for completion of the task: 2 hours]]

"Also, Alice, extract the world orb system from the Earth that I recently absorbed, and use my creation ability to upgrade it into a management system. Connect yourself with the system for enhanced control.

Then, give the system to my secondary planet core once the Earth's planet core is combined. Keep in mind that during the combination process, my body as the primary core of my planet will have absolute control over everything."

[[Yes, Master.]]

After that, I left the place. I will return to absorb other planets in this solar system to upgrade my rank. Then, I was teleported to my infinite realm, which exists outside of time and space. I don't even know where this space exists, but I will find out when I upgrade my Omni-source level. But first, let's check my status window.

"Status Window"

[Name: Alex] [Occupation: The Monarch of Infinity]

[Race: Celestial (Evolvable)]

[Rank: Planetary]

[Experience: ██████░░░] 7%

[Lifespan: 10M]

[Vitality: Planetary]

[Strength: Planetary]

[Cosmic Energy: ∞]

[Existence: Higher Existence (Evolvable)]

[Transformation: Planetary Form (Evolvable)]

[Omni-source (Soul): Level -1]

[Evolution core (Body): Level -1]

[Realm: Infinite realm]

[Abilities:]

[............]

[Companion:]

Alice - AI companion with advanced intelligence and access to vast Cosmic knowledge databases.

I see that after absorbing Earth, my experience bar has reached 7%. This means that if I can absorb all the planets and the sun from our solar system, I will be able to upgrade my rank to Solar Level.

[[Master, the upgrade of the world orb system to the management system is completed. Here are the details.]]

[Name: Planet Management System]

Rank: [Evolvable]

[Planet: New Earth]

[Inhabitants: F-XXX, E-XXX, D-14007, C-5983, B-4406, A-1461, S-179]

[Resources: Natural Landscapes, Biodiversity, Agricultural Land, Forests]

[Features:]

- Architecture: Unlocked

- Absolute Order: Unlocked

- @#[email protected]%: Locked

- [email protected]##$: Locked

[Upgrade: Absorb the complete solar system]

[Evolution bar: ██████] 7%

It's looking good, but when I saw the upgrade condition and evolution bar of the planet, it confirmed that I have to absorb the whole solar system to upgrade my planet and my rank.

"Alice, show me the Absolute Order feature," I asked.

[[Absolute Order:

Skill Description:

Absolute Order is a powerful feature that enables complete control over the inhabitants of the infinite realm. Establish and enforce a set of rules that all individuals must strictly follow.]]

So, this feature allows me to set an order in my infinite realm because this planet resides within the infinite realm. All the people here have to follow the rules I establish, like the absolute order.

This is beneficial because once I set the rules, they will apply to all the inhabitants of the infinite realm. For now, I have only one planet, but in the future, I'll have many universes, and all of them will be under my infinite realm, automatically subject to the rules.

I can control everything, just like I can control my body, but I don't have time for that. So, this feature is incredibly useful for me.

[2 hours later]

[[Master, the task is complete. Please give a name to the new being.]]

{{Hello, Master. Please give me a name.}}

After the Earth's core combined with my planet core, it became sentient. I don't have to worry because this is a part of myself, so I have absolute control over everything.

"Evelyn."

This is the name I give her, my planet core. I'm also going to give her many responsibilities because Alice will handle my problems. I'm just lazy to do things myself, hahaha, just kidding. Evelyn will manage everything in the infinite realm.

[[Naming successful. From now on, your name will be "Evelyn."]]

{{Thank you, Master.}}

"Evelyn, from now on, you will be managing everything in my infinite realm. I'll give you some rules to apply to this planet. In the future, this planet will evolve and many things will change, so apply these rules to everything.

You will be known as the God of Justice. You can solve every problem with the code that I'll provide you. Do you understand?"

{{Master, I understand.}}

1. Rule of Respect: Show respect towards all inhabitants, fostering a culture of dignity, tolerance, and inclusivity.

2. Non-Violence: Prohibit any form of violence or harm, promoting peaceful coexistence and conflict resolution.

3. Environmental Stewardship: Preserve and protect the planet's resources, promoting sustainable practices and responsible use of natural landscapes.

4. Equality and Justice: Ensure equal rights and opportunities for all inhabitants, promoting fairness, justice, and the elimination of discrimination.

5. Obedience to the Monarch: Observe and follow the directives of the ruler, contributing to the overall harmony and well-being of the planet.

These are the rules. Apply them using the absolute order feature of the management system. Also, follow this code to give everyone a chance, but eliminate those who refuse peace. This planet is not their planet; it is my realm, and everyone must follow my rules.

{{Yes, Master.}}

After everything settled here, I realized that babysitting the whole planet is a tiresome job, but it's good to see that everything is going smoothly. Evelyn will handle everything from now on.

I was still sitting on my throne when my clone noticed that my parents had woken up from sleep. I decided not to meet them with my real body because I look completely different after the transformation.

=========

I used my clone body and saw that my mother had woken up. They were all in my cube house.

There were my mother, father, my aunt, uncle, and Sam with them. I didn't know if any other relatives survived or not.

"Evelyn, find my other relatives and inform me," I asked.

{{Yes, Master. I'll give you a report when I complete the task.}}

When my mother saw her surroundings, she found it hard to believe. Before she fell asleep, we were on our Star Island. Now, she was in a futuristic room designed by Alice. The room surpassed any 7-star hotel in terms of design and luxury.

Everything in the room had a futuristic look, created by Alice using my creation ability. It was so beautiful that anyone would want to live in it for the rest of their life.

I saw my mother starting to panic, but I went towards her and said, "Mom, it's okay. Everything is fine. We're in a safe place."

"Alex, where are we? Are you sure we are safe here?" she asked.

"Mom, don't worry. Everything is okay. Believe me," I said.

Then, my father woke up after my aunt and uncle, followed by Sam.

Everyone found it hard to believe the situation, but my father spoke first.

As I gathered my thoughts, my father spoke up, "Alex, I know you have a lot of things to hide from us, but tell us where we are."

"Mom, Dad, everyone, we are on a planet called New Earth because our old planet was destroyed by a massive asteroid. In this apocalyptic situation, only 1/7th of the population survived," I explained.

My father was at a loss for words. He was shocked by the information, realizing the magnitude of the mass extinction.

"Alex, how are we able to survive? Who saved us?" my aunt asked.

I paused for a moment, contemplating whether to tell them the truth. It would mean revealing my true abilities and the existence of the planet core. But if they accepted it, I wouldn't have to keep lying to them repeatedly.

I had lied many times already, and I didn't want to continue doing so. Besides, they would eventually find out the truth since they were in my house. I could transfer them somewhere safe, create a normal clone to live with them, and fabricate a story.

They would live peacefully and happily, unaware of the reality. However, I didn't want my parents to be separated from me. I wanted them to live a long life and be part of my journey, enjoying their lives to the fullest.

Suddenly, I remembered something about the author, but first, I needed to address this situation. I decided to tell them the truth. If they couldn't handle it, I would erase their memories and transfer them to a safe place, where they could live with my clone.

"Everyone, I have something important to tell you. Please listen carefully and try to understand," I said.

"Alex, you're my son, and I trust you. If there's something you want to hide, you can also hide it. I'm okay with that too," my father reassured me.

"Yes, Alex, your father is right," my mother added.

The others nodded in agreement. They believed I was about to reveal a simple secret, like a cooking technique to prepare noodles faster. Little did they know, this was far from a simple secret. I could always erase their memories if things went wrong.

"When mana appeared in our world, I awakened my abilities like everyone else. However, my abilities are different from everyone else's. I used them to become powerful in a short amount of time.

One day, I learned about the impending apocalypse. I was in a state of panic, but on that day, our planet core chose me as its successor and bestowed upon me its powers. The situation was dire, and the planet wanted to survive.

"After that, I became incredibly powerful. Together with our planet core, I created this new planet. When the massive asteroid struck our planet, we were able to save some living beings and transfer them to this new world. But before our planet was destroyed, the planet core granted me all of its abilities and powers.

Now, we are here, on the planet I created alongside our home planet. That's why I named it New Earth. Everything that has happened is because of our home planet. It fought until the very end, giving everything it had," I explained, adding a touch of emotion to my words as I began to shed tears.

Of course, the story was fabricated, but I knew the rule from my previous life: the more details you add to a lie, the more believable it becomes. It was a well-crafted lie, but there would still be some truth in it. Perfect lies don't exist, but I could always erase memories to support my narrative.

{{Master, you're shameless. How can you lie with a straight face?}} Evelyn commented.

"Ha-ha, Evelyn, I

don't know what to say. If I were to tell them the real truth, they might die of a heart attack," I replied in my mind.

[[You idiot! My Master is a genius. He knows what he's doing. Don't call him shameless.]] Alice defended me.

"Wow, Alice, you're the best," I said playfully.

{{I'm just kidding, Master. Don't get angry. I'm the best too, right, Master?}}

"Yes, you're both the best. Let's see how the situation unfolds," I replied.

After witnessing Evelyn's changed behavior, which surprised me, I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard my father's voice.

"Alex, thank you for telling the truth. I'm happy that you chose not to lie," my father expressed his gratitude.

At that moment, my mother lost consciousness due to the overwhelming information. My father understood the situation and assured me that he would handle my mother while I took care of the others.

Uncle, aunt, and Sam were in a state of panic. They seemed as if they had seen a ghost. My father quickly assessed the situation and said, "I know you have a plan even before telling us the truth. I'll handle your mother's situation. You can handle them."

I was taken aback by how fast my father understood the situation. It made sense since he had military training, but it still felt extraordinary. Perhaps the circumstances of the apocalypse had changed him completely.

Afterward, I erased their memories and handed them over to my father. They were now peacefully sleeping. I had only erased the memories of my aunt, uncle, and Sam, as I didn't want to hide anything from my mother. My father would handle the situation once they woke up.

It felt reassuring to have someone by my side, especially in times like these. I told my father, "Okay, Dad, I have something to do. I'll talk to you soon."

"Okay, don't worry about your mother. And what did you do to them?" he inquired about my aunt, uncle, and Sam.

"I erased their memories. When they wake up, they won't remember anything. Please tell them a good lie, Dad. I don't know how to lie convincingly. And don't worry, they're fine," I reassured him.

=======

Wow, my clone handled everything. That's good; I don't have to lie to them. Then suddenly, I felt someone trying to gather information about me through unknown methods. It felt like my soul was about to burst.

[[FOURTH WALL HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]]

[[FOURTH WALL BEGINS TO OPEN ITS MOUTH TO CONSUME THE ENTITY]]

[[@[email protected] ERROR]]

Then I lost consciousness.

========

[[ALVIAN DOMAIN]]

"AHHHHHHH! My eyes, my eyes! What a horrible sight," the Elder exclaimed, his eyes losing their luster as blood flowed, leaving him blinded. The last thing he saw were countless words, as if someone were narrating a story, but that story was his own life history being erased with each passing second.

Suddenly, an elf rushed into the room upon hearing the Elder's screams.

"Elder, what happened? Call the healer and inform the Queen," the guardian elf urgently said.
