Chapter 1130: Not as Fragile as You Think

Chapter 1130: Not as Fragile as You Think

In the middle of space in a solar system far away from Earth, right in the middle of an asteroid belt that was part of a planet that did not yet have a world tree, a figure could be seen.

A man was in the middle of space sitting on a chair, in front of him was a small table with a simple dessert that consisted of a piece of cake and a glass of juice, in the middle of the table was said cake with a piece cut out, and a jug full of acerola juice.

The man was wearing a very distinctive black suit, and seemed completely out of place with the current situation he found himself in.

"If you were near a super developed civilization, they would be freaking out right now, Emperor."

"...Oh, what a pleasant surprise, I didn't expect to see you here."

The primordial of balance and owner of The Limbo prison just rolled his eyes. "Please try not to make me look like a fool."

Victor smiled with his characteristic gentle smile and said: "I wouldn't be foolish enough to do that." With a gesture of his hand, he invited the primordial to sit with him on a chair that mysteriously appeared there.

The primordial accepted the invitation and sat down while he began to serve himself.

"I must say that I am amazed to see such a young being capable of using reality bending with such perfection."

"It's a paltry skill, no need to be so impressed."

"... A paltry skill that not even experienced gods with billions of years can do, as expected of an irregular, I suppose."

Faced with this compliment, Victor just accepted it with a smile since forcing too much humility could be seen as arrogance, even if he wasn't lying. Compared to what The Owner of Limbo could do, what he was doing here and now was a paltry skill.

"If you are here, I assume you forbid what I am about to do?"

Cutting a small piece of cake and putting it in his mouth, the primordial spoke: "What do you understand of 'balance', Victor?"

'Delicious.' The primordial thought.

Being slightly taken aback by not expecting the conversation about this, Victor took a few milliseconds to respond and change his attitude: "Hmm... It is like a fragile egg that can be broken if forced too much." He gave his honest opinion.

"Your interpretation is quite accurate... However, that's quite incorrect." With a gesture of his hand, the ranking of the beings that the system lists appeared for the two to see.

"What do you see wrong there?"

Looking at the list from top to bottom, Victor spoke: "... The lack of a top name."

"Exactly. Since we don't have a figurehead, a leader, so to speak, it is important to maintain balance for everything to work." Eating another piece of cake, he continued: "If it were in the distant past, any actions of beings in this cosmos could be undone by the leader with just a simple thought. A reality-bending very similar to what you are doing here, only on a much larger scale, a cosmic scale."

Victor didn't show it, but he sweated a little when he imagined such a thing. He could defend himself from reality-bending, but on a cosmic scale, he doubted if he could defend himself from such power... Maybe if he used all his power, he could, but being thrown by a supposed primordial chaos with its powers completely matured, he didn't know if it would be possible.

But that didn't mean he wouldn't have the tools to combat such an event. He was a paranoid person, and given the possibility of such an event, he had already started making plans to combat a possible future.

"Due to past events, the primordials now known as Negativity and Positivity were split from what was supposed to be a single being, and this split was what ironically gave rise to everything we know."

"I, and the others, were also born from this split."

"Balance, the concept I represent, is fragile but, at the same time, difficult to break. As you said, it is like an egg, except that it is an egg protected by different walls that are stronger than the most impossible-to-break materials in this cosmos."

"Its final barrier is the very end of everything, a concept that no one can overcome because the end itself is also the very beginning."

"... Your species is a good example of a balance breakdown. If you spread your species throughout the cosmos in an unbridled manner, a possible balance breakdown could occur, but it would only be a disturbance in the system and not something that would break the entire cosmos. Fortunately, you are a very greedy person and would not give that kind of power outside of your family."

"Which works for us. After all, it is not rare to see powerful species that need to be watched. Your wife's former species, which was an overlord in its sector, is a good example. That species had the potential to go very far, but they greatly underestimated the higher-level sectors."

Victor heard the story of the Velnorah Empire, and he agreed with the thought of the primordial in front of them. They vastly underestimated their enemies for being in a position of power for so long. This lesson learned the hard way was something that Velnorah would never forget, and it was no wonder that all her plans now were based on the possible failure of that same plan.

She became a paranoid person, too.

In Victor's case, he did not learn this just by observing the mistakes of others since he also experienced it with the memories of the billions of beings he collected. Each memory was a lesson for him, and so he matured very quickly. Still, he understood that if he had not assimilated with Adonis in the past, perhaps these constant different memories would have consumed him.

'... Which is something unlikely to happen due to the nature of who I am.' The Progenitor's blood would never let him get lost, as the blood was too arrogant for that.

Victor's own species was an example of this. For example, if Victor had a child with a human or another different race, that daughter would definitely be born as a true blood dragon.

Victor's blood was predatory and did not accept being lower in the hierarchy, which is why even his daughters who were born of progenitor mothers like his daughter with Tasha, his daughter with Lilith, and his daughter with Roberta/Medusa, the race of the progenitor mother remained subservient to the dragon blood.

"I see, so every time you intervened in the past, it was only to fix minor mistakes, huh."

"If you put it in our perspective. Yes, they were only minor mistakes. The universe is huge, Victor, much more than you think."

"A devil using souls from his planet for his own benefit, a goddess using a being of the End for her purposes, beings coming from higher sectors to the lower levels."

"How many times has this happened in the universe? Several times, but not in such a short span of time. It usually occurs on a much larger scale."

"I admit that what happens on this particular planet is quite abnormal, considering that it gave life to beings like you. It is no wonder that I made my base here to contain any kind of problems."

"You are contradicting yourself."

"... Maybe." The primordial laughed. "Fighting for balance is like fighting an infection where even the smallest mistakes can snowball and cause a cascade effect that could harm everything."

"Because of this, all primordials intervene when necessary if they see that the actions of certain individuals are breaking the balance."

"Although ironically, the most active of our group are those who deal more with sentient life and the non sentient. Infinity and Death are quite secretive and only intervene when it affects their domain."

"I assume this happens a lot less than you would like?"

"Indeed, compared to me, soul, and life, they have a lot of free time." He confided

"The balanced universe is a universe that has only one timeline, where the chaos of the stars being created and the balance of the systems already created is not interfered with. We have kept it working until today and will continue to keep it that way until the end. So that a new cycle can begin."

"There will always be an END for everything, huh."

"A story cannot continue infinitely. It may take a while, but eventually, it will find its end, whether it is a positive ending or not. The difference is that our END will only have 2 beings at the end of everything."

"Our eventual leader – the primordial chaos and Death."

"And it will be with the essence that Death collected at the end that the primordial chaos will create a new cycle."

"Now, I ask you, where is the problem here?"

"There is no primordial chaos."

"Exactly." The balance clapped his hands as he smiled in satisfaction, his clapping being heard completely even though he was in the vacuum of space.

"And to think that the universe has been unbalanced since the beginning, huh." Victor laughed. "It's like you guys are always fighting bugs to fix a broken computer."

"Indeed, indeed, all these beings that I have in my prison, the beings that are at the lowest levels, are beings that cannot be recycled into the universe because they are too strong, for example, beings like you."

"Oh?"

"Even if we tried, we wouldn't be able to erase their will. Yes, we can kill them and make their souls reincarnate, but their will always persist, so the only possible choice was to imprison them."

'And that's what happened to Azathoth, huh… So I predict that Azathoth must be somewhere in this man's prison.' Victor thought, deep inside his soul. 'Wrong. I doubt there is any being as complex and powerful as Azathoth that is not me, so he is not in his prison but somewhere else where all the primordials can watch.'

The last option was the most likely one in Victor's mind, but he would not be certain of anything and would leave the options open.

"But the universe always tries to balance itself in the end, or we can say that the universe here is the semi-consciousness of the primordials Positivity and Negativity."

The playful look changed to a serious look, and he said: "Negativity has chosen you as its representative."

"And Positivity already has its representative living in the upper sectors."

"And what does this mean for us? For the entire cosmos?"

"Who knows? For me, it means that a possible new leader will be born in the future so that the universe can continue normally."

"For my other companions? I don't know. I may have existed with them for a long time, but I don't know their thoughts on this very specific issue. Some may not want to change and continue the way they are, others may not care, some will want some change."

"...And you balance? What do you want."

"Well, I'm here explaining all this, right? It's quite obvious."

"That's not an answer at all." Victor chuckled good-naturedly.

"Indeed, but that's how things are, right? I am balance, and by existence, balance is about indecision."

"That's imbalance."

"It's the same thing." He joked with a laugh and completely avoided giving an answer to Victor's question.

"Looks like it's time for me to go. It was a good talk, Emperor."

"Are you leaving already? That's a shame. It's very rare to talk to a primordial."

"It's not like you have a primordial parked near your house, right? Life can be quite clingy sometimes." He chuckled.

Victor's face didn't change as he just laughed along with the man.

"The administrators of my prison say hi and are eager to know your next move in the future." He said as he stood up from his chair.

"Oh... They, huh..." Victor still remembered the beings that, at the time, he thought were very mysterious, but now, he could understand their existence better.

Balance looked at the fissure in space, a crack that could only be seen by certain beings. If a normal being looked in the direction of the primordial now, they would see nothing but space and the stars, but to the most attentive eyes, they could see a crack forming there.

He smiled slightly when he realized that Victor was purposefully opening the crack in space even wider.

'A tactic to attract? Or is he making it bigger so he can get through? In the end, it doesn't matter. It's just surprising to see that in such a short time, he already has such precise control of this energy…'

The primordial of balance didn't lie when he said he was surprised by Victor's feats. At first, he thought that perhaps Vlad could be one of the abnormal ones like 'Light', but time proved him wrong. In fact, Vlad wasn't the only one, as he had several candidates in mind, but in the end, it was none of them.

'In the end, it doesn't matter. The final purpose will be fulfilled whether it's Light or this man.' Finishing his thoughts, he then spoke: "A friendly piece of advice, don't underestimate the other side."

"I won't."

"Good."
