Reincarnated as a World

Ch.12 Doomsday

Eridel’s ‘heart’ jumped, his random burst of anger vanishing in an instant.

He was able to expend a greater amount of energy to heal the core and erase the Laws of Destruction but things were becoming a lot more dangerous and he was starting to feel sick.

The kind of sick you feel, when a feeling of heavy regret dawns upon you.

The kind of sick that made you wish you had a time machine.

Eridel was feeling that right now.

But he was already here, and at this point, he could not turn back. It was only with his Primordial Essence that his core was remaining slightly stable. If he took out his Primordial Essence, everything would collapse.

That was like forcefully removing super glue that was keeping a construct together. Foolish.

Another 20 days passed.

At this point. His core was 90% filled with his essence, however… 

He was already unable to withstand the pain that occurred every crack. He had noticed it since the beginning. But if before, it was like a fly slamming into him. Now it was like being run down by a truck.

Each wrack of pain wiped away all of his thoughts and nearly made him lose control.

An extremely critical situation.

If Eridel hadn’t tempered his mind in those 2000 years of solitude. He would have been finished by now.

Looking at the barely stable core that looked like it was vibrating. Eridel wondered if this was the end.

Surprisingly, In that moment. His calmness was restored and his control over his core increased a notch.

‘Either I die here, or I succeed and do something no one else in existence has ever been able to do.’

He realized that that was all there was to it.

Being a 2000 year old soul. Deep down, Eridel wasn’t really afraid of death. In fact, there were many times that he craved it.

His current fear was only the instinctual fear that any ‘body’ had when facing fatality. Whether it was a human, beast, item spirit or an entire World. They all instinctually cowered from death. An instinct that ensured the continuation and function of the ‘body’.

But Eridel himself? He didn’t fear death in the slightest. He had already been through it once.

A strangely freeing thought.

It was akin to being scared of confronting a lion, then realizing you had already defeated a lion of the same calibre in the past and came out unscathed. Wasn’t it now ludicrous to still be afraid?

‘Hahahaha… how silly of me.’

Without hesitation, Eridel shoved the rest of the needed Primordial Essence into his core.

CSHHHHH!!!

Eridel’s core was instantly smashed apart.

Horrifyingly dense amounts of destruction essence exploded out. When a core was destroyed, leaving nothing left. There was no need to wait for death to come. It was already here.

The trapped ball of destruction essence that was previously docile seemed to be invigorated and also burst out of it’s cage with vengeful wrath.

At this point, Eridel’s consciousness was already fading.

‘It seems that this is the end…’

Millions of thoughts passed through his mind, most of them about the residents of his planet that would soon be dead as well. A thought that brought him a tinge of sorrow. But nothing could be done.

With the image of his accidental daughter in his mind, his mind faded to black.

The Laws of Destruction seemed to be especially excited. It was as if their slave master had died and now they were free.

With great vigor, they swept the many corners of the World, reaping lives as they went. 

It was an apocalyptic scene.

Titania was terrified.

Ciera was petrified.

Dodo… collapsed from fear.

Even the snake clan hegemons were slithering around hysterically.

The dragon family… was still asleep. As a matter of fact. Calmilla and Aeshma seemed to be getting stronger. The Laws of Destruction being unconsciously absorbed by them.

Gaia was also completely unaffected.

But the humans and other beasts were running around like headless chicken, the weaker ones directly collapsing, breathing their last breaths.

Seas raged, Lands cracked and Volcanoes erupted. Just like the time before Eridel took over this World.

It was a heart-breaking event.

It seemed that the fate of this World was to end here and now.

But all of a sudden, in the deepest regions of the planet, where the shattered remains of Eridel’s core lay.

Something changed.

For some reason, the golden light that used to be contained within the fragmented core pieces… seemed to be fusing with them?

The lights dimmed, but as they dimmed, the grey coloured core pieces started to change colour. They became… gold!

BOOOOOM!!!

When the last piece of the core became golden. They all started to shine even more blindingly than before. A heavy and indomitable aura that was also gold in colour burst out of the fragmented core pieces like an avalanche!

Shockingly, the fragmented core pieces began to float and gather together!

Each piece seemed to know what place to go and they fused with each other like a jigsaw puzzle. And every time they fused... The aura they emitted doubled!

This was a scene that could make anyone who watched petrified!

In fact. At this moment, the Laws of Destruction that was arrogantly rampaging all over the place seemed to pause as if they sensed something wrong.

All of a sudden… THEY FLED!

YES, the Laws of Destruction actually began to escape into the atmosphere like sheep running from a wolf!

“But how can I let you go so easily?”

An ancient yet sonorous voice that sounded extremely pleasant to hear was heard across the entire World. It even caused the already ravished lands to quake and fracture.

But this… WASN’T THAT THE DEAD ERIDEL’S VOICE? But why did he sound so… cough. His voice seemed to have improved?

Ten 100,000 metre long golden hands were formed in space, surrounding the entire World. Without a single pause, they grasped at every essence of destruction before fusing together to form a strangely familiar cage.

This cage rapidly condensed until it looked like a golden glass ball, and inside… was the condensed Laws of destruction. The exact same thing that happened 3 months ago. But this time, the caged essences of Destruction were hundreds of times denser.

The caged destruction Laws floated down to the planet… even sinking through the ground that seemed to strangely open up for them in expectation. It kept going down until… it stopped.

Looking at where it stopped… Wasn’t this… wasn’t this where the last caged destructions Laws were kept?

So that means…

!!!

Where the previous World Core was shattered, a new core that was 3x bigger, completely golden and majestically luminous - was floating in its location!

This… Was this the new World Core?!

‘I seem to have broken through? Excellent! But first…’

BOOOOOM!

A new essence that was never before present on this planet actually began to erupt from the core! The very essence that Eridel risked his life to obtain!

IT WAS MAGICAL ENERGY!
