Chapter 393 392. Regression.
Suddenly,
Without any noise, a white inked, scribbles marred figure appeared in front of it, flickering in and out of existence.
"You... are the last one left...." The figure stated, making the golden figure shudder due an unknown emotion that suddenly assaulted it.
The white figure's mouth opened like a lid of kettle and devoured the golden figure which began to merge with the white inked figure which was flickering as if its slowly moving time had began to run out.
While the golden figure merged with the scribbled figure, it experienced the latter's life first-hand until it relieved the point its own attack had destroyed everything it controlled.
And it instantly realized that everything it had thought and seen in the last few moments was nothing but its own arrogant delusion.
As soon as the spike beneath Eshwar's feet pierced the golden field, he understood that the source of the gods was this golden field, hence he deliberately made his own body explode into particles which then peered into the ground, devouring everything from the inside.
Thanks to its one shot, universal scale attack, the powers the gods used increased, making it easier for Eshwar, who was devouring everything from the inside. The speed at which he could devour divinity increased exponentially, making the process almost instantaneous.
Within a matter of seconds, he devoured the whole field and the source that birthed Gods themselves, forcing their, the gods', existence's to cease existing since their very source had changed in an instance.
With what minor, almost devoured, ego it held, it also understood that it could survive if the link that bound Eshwar to continue existing, ended before it was devoured wholly.
It resisted being devoured for a split second to waste enough time for Eshwar's existence to cease existing.
At that moment, Eshwar's almost non-existent body was barely holding onto his existence and almost waned when he felt the Divine Laws' ego resist being devoured.
Without much strength to do anything to persist existing, Eshwar's dim, ghost-like figure, closed its doted eyes.
'I want to be with that feeble existence....' He thought for one last time as he remembered the fragile consciousness that was still within his grasp.
His plan was a reckless and baseless one, and he knew it, but there wasn't much he could do.
His plan was merge Luck with his existence, after which he would use [Wish] where he hoped the merged luck to act up and create a miracle for him.
But, that plan seemed to be failing quite miserably....
ZZT-ZZTZZ!
A strange static chime suddenly sounded in what remained of his consciousness.
It said, [Don't you dare forget me!] And disappeared without a trace which Eshwar could tell when his head suddenly felt extremely light.
BING-!
A violent electric static abruptly forced his almost dissipated body back into existence and everything once again turned silent with only a scribbling sketch-like, white inked figure floating amidst of nothingness.
Feeling a strange sense of invincibility, he understood that he had successfully devoured Luck and made it his own; Eshwar wanted to test his prowess, but held back due to being unable to take any chances till he was done with what he had to.
[Wish] he muttered under his breath, wishing to experience life with his loved ones, once again, while inwardly thanking "his" system for its sacrifice, which had brought him an hour's time.
His skill [Wish] had the ability to grant him "any" but one single wish, which he decided to use to the fullest when he made a wish that hid many wishes within a single one.
As the wish acted on fulfilling what he asked for, a golden glimmer busted out of his scribbling sketch-like figure and his existence itself disappeared from the space.
***
An orb of extremely concentrated incomprehensible energy floated in the nothingness as it was drawn by an alluring bright light, seemingly at the end of the tunnel.
The calm orb-shaped energy abruptly rippled as if enthralled by the warm light it was zooming towards, and in a matter of minutes that felt eternal, it had almost reached the light before a blinding light blinded the energy orb.
It felt its shape morphing in a haste, it gained an infant's body right before it felt its head being grabbed by a pair of humongous hands while warmth flushed its head that seemed to have come out of the darkness that trapped it.
Soon, its whole body was puked out of the darkness as if the darkness and the nothingness it was trapped in, had enough of it.
With a numb pain on its solar plexus, something or someone grabbed its ankles and turned it upside down while it's consciousness was still confused as to what was going on.
SLAP-!
With another slightly numb but sharp pain on the blind consciousness' rear,
'You dare!!!'
"Uwwwwaaaaa!!!!!!" A loud ear deafening infant's cry resounded throughout the whole operation theatre!
"Wow.... that's the loudest cry I have ever heard...." The doctor who held the infant upside down exclaimed, not noticing the child's father walking towards him menacingly as he rolled his shirt's sleeves.
"You.... beep! How dare you beeping hit my son!" The father exclaimed in a low voice as if he was scared of scaring the baby, while also mumbling "beeps" whenever he wanted to curse.
"Ummm....." The doctor and the nurses were slightly dumbfounded and awkward at the comment, their awkwardness only increased when they noticed that even the woman who had just laboured was also glaring at them with a tired face, but they soon handled the infant with extreme care, scared of getting hit before the bills were paid.
Of course, that didn't mean they would get hit after the bills were paid; they just wanted to send home the scary couple home as soon as possible!
*
Minutes later;
They brought the infant to its mother's side, tightly wrapped in a soft cloth, while the infant wrapped was feeling as if it was in a sushi roll.
The doctor, interns, and the nurses soon vacated the maternity ward, leaving the harmonious family behind.
Again, after a few minutes of harmonious giggles and funny baby sounds,
"Honey, what should we name him?" Asked the mother.
"Hm? Haven't you already decided on his name?" Asked back the father.
"Then....." The mother mumbled gently as she leaned in on the baby laying next to her and
"Eshwar..... Eshwar Hayer..." As soon his mother muttered his name, he felt them being engraved on his very soul, and Eshwar understood that he was back.
He had regressed!
Again!
But!
This time,
It was to before anything even began!
"Uwa." He commanded and made his parents sleep.
His sushi roll body floated and turned to gaze at the faces of his parents. His father Vishnu Hayer, his mother Elena Hayer.
'I remember my last name.....'
WHOOOOSH-!
With a subtle gust of wind, Eshwar's body turned to that of an adult's. He was 5'9 feet tall, with handsome facial features, black hair, pitch-black light-devouring sclera and bright star-like white irises with vertically dilated diamonds-like, glimmering pupils.
His naked body was instantly coated in pitch-black darkness with stars and universes glimmering within.
"..... I still own my power..... and I'm not affecting the world even by a bit...." Eshwar Hayer muttered as he understood that the Divine Laws or Luck which had merged with him, had something to do with his return with his powers and memories.
At that understanding, a thought flashed in his consciousness;
".... I can.... meet her..... again..." He exclaimed under his breath when he felt her damaged soul's unique signature within the same world.
But,
A concerning question lingered within his consciousness because he had seen how much damage her consciousness had contained;
'Will she remember me?'
