BXBX NOVEL Chapter 89: The Story of Creation
"Yes, I would like to hear it, if I may," Nemesis said, and Chronos, hearing this, began to speak:
"Before Chaos gave the tower a mind, a personality, he wanted to create the dimension, the universe in which the tower would exist. 1 is an ordinary dimension below the main reality. However, instead of creating this dimension in a normal way, he wanted to do a deep, good job because he wanted his precious children to grow up here."
Every word Chronos spoke seemed to touch the hearts of Erebus and Nyx, making them happy that they were loved by their father.
"Then, after he had created enough territory, he began to create dimension. He created the 8 sacred fires. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white and black, represented life, warmth, beauty, the dryness of nature, the majesty of space, the pain of the reality to be created, cold and eternal death."
When Thanatos heard the word death, he took a few steps forward and sat down next to Nemesis, the subject catching his attention instantly.
"He threw each of these fires into the dimension he was going to create and then used time as the frame of the dimension, like the sands in an hourglass. The fires hardened and strengthened the frame."
The gods, who had paused at the beauty of the story, crowded around Chronos like a picnic table and began to listen.
"Then he put the concept of space within this framework, and then the 8 Sacred Fires, which can create mother life and mother death by merging, merged with space and time, and worlds, galaxies and universes began to form one after another. These formed the concept of reality in which we are now living."
"So you are saying that we are here today thanks to the 4 main [elements or concepts]." Moros suddenly said, and Chronos, hearing this, nodded his head and then replied, "That's right, at least that's what master Chaos told me."
"Father, what about James? What exactly is he seeing right now?" Zeus asked and Chronos replied:
''He had a high level of fire element thanks to his gacha ability, but no one can combine an element with their aura that they cannot master or have a high level of intimacy with, even Amaterasu which might be the best fire elementalist can not do it this perfect. Think of it as vampires cannot combine any element other than blood with their aura."
Immediately after Chronos' words, Nyx stood up and then said, "If James is so susceptible to both fire and time...I understand you're showing him parts of creation, that's what you called the beginning and the end."
Everyone realised at that moment that James had a predisposition to two main laws. It was a known fact that Chaos had summoned James to the tower, which meant that Chaos had not summoned him for fun, James had been summoned because of the depth of his potential.
"Exactly. I loaded him with an incredibly small fragment of my own time so that he could nourish himself and increase his brain, intellect and will. Time is a single line, Nyx, and there are very few who can change it for good, and who knows, maybe James will become an even greater time god than I am." Chronos said suddenly, clearly expecting too much from the boy in front of him.
On James' side, everything was strange.
He really couldn't see anything around him. He could see a few patches of flame, feel fragments of time and walk in the deep void of space.
Indeed, he could see the moment when stars are formed when they flash for the last time. He could even see black holes and huge stars going supernova.
He had a massive headache as if something wanted to drive him out of here, yet James had no desire to step back. With each set, his headache increased and the blood flowing from his nose accelerated a small amount.
James was not complaining about this, indeed he had no desire to be angry at anything when he was faced with such a beautiful sight.
His eyes were wide open, he felt as if the image of space was penetrating his retina.
He could feel the sensation coursing through his body growing and developing strangely. He didn't know where it was developing and how far it was going, but there was one thing he knew for sure:
The images he saw were more beautiful than all the landscapes he had ever seen, all the truths he had ever heard, all the women and men he had ever seen, all the food he had ever eaten, all the air he had ever inhaled, all the rain he had ever soaked in, all the sea he had ever swum in, and all his experiences.
At that very moment, he realised that his body had started to shake, the blood was pouring from his nose, from his eyes and even from his ears and mouth.
He was instantly brought back to reality and almost fainted. Just then Nemesis took off the necklace she was wearing and put it on James.
The necklace was covered in blood drops and dirt, it might have been the first gift she had ever received from James, but it made more sense to make him to wear it just in case.
After a few minutes of trance, James, who had started to come to after a few minutes of trance, looked at himself and saw that there was blood all over him and even filled the floor of the hall with blood.
"What happened to me?" James asked. He could see Nemesis crying, Chronos let out a deep breath as if relieved, and Nyx herself was berating Chronos.
It was then that Chronos' voice was heard:
"Open your profile and take a look for yourself young man, you'll be quite surprised, I assure you."
