Then he looked straight into Alexander's golden eyes and continued.
"Alexander, you are a god, a being whom mortals pray to. You are a being who makes sure the cycle of karma is not corrupted by the demons. You are the path to enlightenment for many, but you still have a lot more to learn. I also learned more when my time came and yours will come too. When that happens, you will understand who you are and what you must do."
Alexander and the rest were so mesmerised in his words that they didn't even realise how much time had passed or where they were sitting. Only when Buddha started talking about Alexander did they come out of this trans like state.
Alexander stood up, put his hands together and bowed, "Thank you for telling me all this. Knowing from books is different and hearing directly from you is different."
"I was travelling the Omniverse when the Origin told me about Zulrak. I am against killing but he is a demon who must be stopped now or else everything else will be lost. We will meditate every day here from now on till you reach some enlightened state." Buddha planned.
[A/N: The old man God is called 'origin' of everything. He is the last stop of an enlightened soul. God does not have a specific shape or face. He just looks old and godlike to Alexander and others because that is how he is perceived by many. Those who consider him as just the force of nature, a law that bounds the universe cannot see him as a physical body.]
Alexander nodded, "Yes, we will. Here in Phixheim, time runs different so I don't have to worry about the outer world."
"WEEWOOOO WEEWOOOO..." Suddenly, Chomei and Thea came running towards them.
Chomei was wearing a police uniform and was running after a giggling Thea. They saw Alexander and the rest and ran towards them. But, Thea was too small and her legs would not let her run too fast. For a flying Chomei, catching her was easy.
Though he still lets her have fun and only catches her when she gets tired. But, currently, Thea was trying too hard to reach Alexander, so, she tripped on the grass and fell.
But she did not feel anything as Buddha had already levitated her towards himself. Thea sat in Buddha's arms and looked at his face. Then, she suddenly gave a heartwarming smile.
"Thank you, uncle. Thea not hurt." She said.
Buddha smiled back, "She is touched by the Origin. Her abilities are fascinating."
"WEEEWOOO WEEEWOOO..." Chomei came beside Alexander but did not stop making the sound.
Alexander held him in his arm and that made his stop, "Where is your grandma?"
"G-Chan, she said that such an enlightened being has come to meet us so she wants to cook for everyone with her own hands. Is that the mister Enlightened uncle?" Chomei asked.
Buddha chuckled, "Haha, I heard you have more siblings? Where are they?"
Chomei quickly replied, "Oh, they are all lazy folks. Kurama is sleeping, Saiken is eating, Shukaku is also sleeping, Goku is sleeping in the jungle, others are probably sleeping too. I am the only responsible one of them. *Sigh* What am I going to do with these kids."
Chomei's last words were said as an imitation of Olivia whenever she felt frustrated.
Chomei then flew to Buddha. "Uncle Enlightenment, why are your ears so long?"
"Chomei, he is called Buddha." Alexander corrected him.
Buddha smiled and explained, "I was a prince once and I had to wear various ornaments, including heavy earrings made of gold. When I was 29, I abandoned my privileged life to become a monk. This included no longer wearing heavy, jewelled earrings. Although I was no longer weighed down by material possessions, my ears were permanently elongated."
"Then if I do it will I have long ears too?" Chomei innocently asked as he blinked cutely.
"But you do not have ears." Buddha reminded him.
Chomei, in shock, touched his non-existing ears. Then he looked at Alexander, "G-Chan, can I have ears? Pretty please?"
...
Later, it was dinner time and everyone was gathered at a long 50 chair dining table. Alexander sat at the head position, beside him were Olivia and Buddha. He doesn't make speeches as it usually makes the dinner official and boring.
So, everyone starts eating as soon as they sit. The tailed beasts had their own small chairs. Chappy had his own small bowl. All the food was served by Nanny-droids.
"So, do tell me about your multiverse travels. What worlds have you been to?" Alexander inquired.
Buddha replied, "I have been to many worlds. Some good and some evil. But, I also found a few where Buddhism was being used as a means of war and murder. I remember one in particular. A world filled with self-named heavenly kings and made-up gods. There was this one child named Yun Che that used an art called Great Way of the Buddha. It was everything against what Buddhism stood for.
"But I was not God's advocate and I did not have the authority to judge beings. I only spread kindness and the true way to enlightenment."
Alexander nodded, "That is indeed bad. In my travels too, I have seen many religions or ideologies being completely different from common sense. There are people who call me Cu-nt. To them, it translates to god but to me... you know. The Omniverse is infinite and all kinds of possibilities are possible."
Ragnarok then nudged Buddha, "Hey, did you come upon a world of dragons or something? Maybe where a dragon can shapeshift into a beautiful human?"
Buddha shook his head, "I did not."
Dobby didn't leave the chance to make fun, "Oh, is our Dragon in heat?"
Ragnarok nearly cursed out loud, "Think about yourself, you sing... ah... dammit."
He realised that even Dobby had a girlfriend now. Ciri sat beside Dobby and looked at Ragnarok while chuckling.
Dobby smirked, "Heh, what happened? No words?"
"Huh, at least I'm better than this guy." Ragnarok huffed and pointed at Douglas sitting a few seats away. He was using a pair of scissors as chopsticks.
Nearly everyone who heard Ragnarok nodded in agreement.

[A/N: Behold again, my crappy songwriting skills for Iroh.
I am in the last stretch of this arc now. I will be making some short world trips before we finally jump to DC. If you want Alexander to go to any particular world, then comment here on this paragraph. Of course, creating them depends on me knowing about that world.]
