Chapter 24: The trembling eyebrow
You can skip this and the next two chapters if you don't like the upper world's theme, there is no mention to them for the next hundreds of chapters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where am I?
All I can see is a white world. There's no sky, there's no ground, there's nothing at all.
Am I dead?
No, when I first died, I didn't end up in this place. Although I don't know if I can count my first death as a normal one, I doubt that all the dead will show up in front of that damn goddess.
But if so, what is this place?
"At last we meet, boy."
"Who's there?"
I'm sure I heard a voice. It's quite deep and decrepit, like an old man's voice.
He must be hiding, but where? There's nowhere he can hide.
I mean, there's nothing in this place at all.
Then I have to get him out.
"Stop hiding, you coward."
"Coward? Cough-cough-cough."
"You're gonna die, old man."
"Old man? Cough-cough-cough."
What's wrong with this fucking old man?
A light appeared in front of me, in the middle of all the white emptiness.
A geezer in a white robe with a cane in his hand came out of the light. He was bald and had a long gray beard.
"Who are you, old man?"
The old man's eyebrow shook. Is he angry because I called him old?
But he's an old man, can't he accept what he is?
Well, he may identify himself as a young man. In that case, I can't do anything.
"I am the creator, the one who triggered the big bang, the father of all that is known."
I see, I know who you are.
"You are the old man among the old."
There he is, he's turned up again.
The trembling eyebrow.
The old man with the trembling eyebrow.
Not bad, huh?
"Cough- Let's get back to the point."
"What point? You haven't told me anything yet."
Didn't wisdom come with age? Shouldn't this old man be the wisest?
"I would have disintegrated you into molecular particles if you weren't my daughter's choice."
What's he saying now? I need a translator to understand the old man.
"Your daughter?"
"Yes, you've met her before. She's the one who gave you the system."
"That goddam goddess is your daughter? I was wondering why a goddess was such an asshole, but it all makes sense now."
Again, again it has appeared.
The trembling eyebrow!
"Bastard..."
"Well, say what you have to say before you die, old man."
Shudder, shudder.
"Swoosh-"
That's right, man. Take a deep breath, or you're gonna die soon.
"I am the creator of the multiverse, the most powerful being that ever lived. And I was the person who kept the Order in this one."
He seems to be very proud of himself, but...
"You were, you mean you don't do it anymore."
It wasn't hard to find that point in his words.
"That's right. I died. Or rather, I was killed."
"Wait, wait. Aren't you the most powerful being that ever lived?"
The proud face disappears, and the old man gives me a pitiful smile.
"That's right. I lost most of my strength when I detonated the Big Bang, so I went into a weakened state."
I see, that makes sense.
"But I made a mistake in detonating the Big Bang. Or rather, I overlooked a problem."
"By creating an order in the multiverse, I also create Chaos. Just as I controlled the side of Order, from the Chaos was born an entity that controlled it."
"At first, I had the upper hand in our confrontations. But I grew weaker as time went by, and it was the Chaos that took the upper hand."
I told you, you're an old man.
"It was only a matter of time before the Chaos defeated me. I had to take action before that happened."
I see you're not such an idiot, old man.
"The first step was to create a daughter."
I take back what I have said.
"The second was to create a planet where the supernatural did not exist, and I called it Earth."
"The third was to create a seal on multiple planets that had a peculiar fate with a certain person. These planets went into a loop, waiting for a certain person to enter them to fulfill their true destiny."
"The fourth thing was to send the events that occurred at the time of the loop to be sent to the minds of certain people. These were the creators of light novels, manga, and anime."
"Fifth, I looked for this certain person, but I was unable to find him. There could only be one reason for this, and that was that this person was not born yet. So I looked in unborn babies, and that's when I found him in the belly of the dragon king."
This old man has gone senile.
"One problem occurred, and that is that I was not the only person to find that baby. This Chaos entity also found it and attacked the mother, trying to kill that person and the mother at the same time. Fortunately, I managed to intervene and prevent the mother from dying."
"The mother gave birth in a weakened state, and miraculously managed to survive. But here's where another problem came in."
What a story the old man is telling me.
"The baby dragon's soul was damaged. The dragon was unable to get out of the egg by itself."
"My hopes were destroyed at that moment, along with the rest of the living beings that inhabited the multiverse. It was impossible to stop the Chaos without this person."
The old man stopped for a moment to take a breath.
"Why not choose another?"
That was the question I had. Although I have a suspicion that I am that person.
"We couldn't choose another person. To begin with, a person other than me can't defeat the Chaos, not even my daughter, who has inherited many of my powers. To do that, you need the help of a specific system, and that person has to be compatible with that system."
"Then, you just have to find another person who is compatible with the system."
"I couldn't."
"Why?"
"Because that system was already locked inside that dragon's soul, and I was unable to take it away once the soul was damaged."
