บท 16: Don't Call me Great One

Sedna continued to smile even after my mental fuse had blown. Why did I possess such a convenient ability? Actually, how did Sedna know about my abilities?

"Great One, all Gods and Goddesses were born from your consciousness. It takes a part of Great One's memory to be created. This is why Great One doesn't remember. Originally Great One's last wish was to remain in the void, away from the chaos of the world. However, a newbie God born from man violated the agreement and invaded your personal space. He created Earth after the original planet was absorbed by Great One and shattered the privacy barrier created by Gaia and the first generation Gods. We are still looking for him but it is hard to track a God who isn't registered."

Now that she has explained, many things became clear to me. Still, it would be convenient to have a physical form that was as indestructible as my existence. I could only blame my lack of stamina for transformation.

"Oh no, Great One you don't have to train to maintain a physical form. It was our fault for not receiving you earlier when you visited. Due to our negligence from being too focused on tracking that new God, we failed to provide proper accommodation. Zeus and the others will be making their way over so please be patient for a little more. After you have received the blessings of all the Great Gods, you would be able to assume any life form and adapt to any living situations without any restriction. You'll be able to recreate what you've absorbed at a later stage but that kind of recreation requires knowledge, knowledge that even Gods do not possess."

Knowledge that even Gods do not possess? Who would be more knowledgeable than Gods?

"Answering Great One, they are part of the new God's creation called man. Man was an experimental creation and they have now found ways to surpass all expectations. They have succeeded in creating a God, preventing their extinction and destroyed a world. Their power is too fearsome that not even we Gods can stop them. Hence, we've relocated."

Man... what kind of creatures were they?

"They call themselves humans for now. They are the only creatures with enough intelligence to give themselves names."

Names... come to think of it, even Sedna has a name. Why am I known as Great One? Granted, my existence is unique but having no name... that's just sad.

I'm just like a huge existence with nothing on the inside. No knowledge, no goals and no name. That simply cannot do! I must own something and what other than to acquire a name?

Yes, that's right. From now on I refuse to be called Great One. I want to have a name.

"But Great One..."

No, don't call me Great One. Give me a name.

Sedna paled. I only waited expectantly, excited for the name she would come up with.
