Chapter 107 The Absolute Beginning(2)

"Now that I'm done with the introduction, I will now get to the heart of the matter. Namely, why the war that was supposed to go out ignited and carried away the avatar of the YGGDRASIL tree that had led to the creation of the various copies of the universe and all these illusory races. Above all, why is all this related to the power you have just awakened, and what was the identity of your parents." She said after putting the painting under her desk. "But before that, if there are shadows that you have not yet understood, you can ask me to clarify yourself." She announced in a reassuring tone.

|You have just acquired enough information at the limit of a mortal. |

|You have acquired 240 IQs. |

|I ask for permission to start the system update process. |

'Hm? An update? Sigh, you don't need to bother me anymore. Do what you want, as long as it's advantageous for me.' Alvine briefly replied. He had no time to deal with the whims and greed of his system. All his attention was focused on Sabrina, only on her.

"Something escapes me. Where does YGGDRASIL come from? And what do you mean by Yggdrasil's avatar? Is she the only supreme being?" Asked Alvine to respond to Sabrina's request.

Hearing Alvine's questions, her lips bent with a satisfying smile. "Unfortunately, no one can answer your first and last question, at least... among the people who are present in this castle. As for knowing what was the avatar of the supreme tree Yggdrasil, she was the manifestation of its consciousness that could take any humanoid form... lady REHA. Her power was disproportionate, her consciousness could monitor every living being on the original planet, from the smallest ant to the giants. Her beauty had no equal and finally... she was the only, the only supreme being who could control the Yggdrasil tree, to put it more briefly, she was the vital essence and spirit of the Yggdrasil tree." Concludes Sabrina by plunging her Gaze into Alvine's.

"If you have no other questions, then I will continue." She said when she saw Alvine silent and seemed to be looking forward to the rest of her story.

"Among the races that had gone to beg it to intervene in the war to stop the endless massacre, I can quote you, humans, who were one of the weakest races but also one of the most intelligent, the dwarves who were not interested in wars, fairies who have pure and innocent hearts. These are races you know. But on the other hand, they had other races among them who were either afraid to fight or because of their weaknesses. But their goals were not the sole purpose of requesting, as war raged from all over the planet, except the center, where the ancestral tree was located, it was also the security zone where no clan dared to commit bloodbaths. After they reached the central zone, as according to their predictions, no other breeds were crazy enough to disturb the Yggdrasil tree. As a result, the camps were divided into two. The Warriors and the pacifists. But pacifists were faced with another problem after a six-month peace. Yes, the power of the tree was so strong that being close to it for a long time led to inevitable death!"

"On the one hand, if they move away from the tree, they will be massacred by bloodthirsty people, but on the other hand, if they stay by the tree, death knocked on their doors no matter what means they had used... they found no solution. This anomaly had not only affected the refugees, but also the Yggdrasil tree, which could no longer bear to see the lives it had created die out because of itself. While all hopes seemed to vanish, the avatar of the tree who, until that time, had been deaf in the face of the supplications and prayers of his children manifested himself one fine day after the annihilation of fifty percent of the refugees by her fault. And it was at this moment that she created a thousand leaders with her own vital energy. Unlike the races that were born of its fruits, the thousand leaders each had part of her immeasurable powers that were intended to direct each race to a peaceful land and establish peace between races, thus, stop the war."

"But unfortunately for her, her plan was a failure. For, even if leaders could not attack others, they could still share their powers between their races and thus help their subordinates acquire part of their divine powers. Under the pretext of helping their fellow men become strong, they were preparing something more monstrous among themselves in secret...because of their greed for power! The hundred years of peace were only short-lived before another war broke out, but which had a different objective. DETHRONE THE ONE AND ONLY SUPREME GOD! Something that the supreme goddess herself had not seen coming despite her supreme power and authority. But taking into account its supreme powers, the leaders knew that they cannot be coping with it regardless of their incredible powers. As a result, they resumed the war between leaders despite the punishment that fell on them after each battle, they still persevered in the war. Until the day the supreme tree once again manifested its avatar to repair its mistakes, put an end to all cruelty by annihilating all the lives it had created!"

"And then? What happened?" Even before she could reorganize her breath, Alvine asked impatiently.

Hearing Alvine's question, Sabrina sighed in a dull tone. "As I had already said, the fact that she created leaders with her vital energy had greatly weakened her. Not only that but she had forever lost the powers she had conferred on each leader. Corrosion, space, time, gravity, lightning, destruction, chaos, curses, healing, and above all, her elementary powers! These were the powers she had leged to the leaders. The only way to recover these powers was the total annihilation of them. But afterward... I don't know what happened next." She says with a depressed air.

"How do you not know what happened next?! You want to tell me that, just as things became clear, you tell me that you don't know what happens next? What happened to this tree? What about leaders?? And above all, you haven't answered my question yet, what am I doing about all this? And you who are you?" Exploded Alvine with frustration. "I didn't learn anything from my origins or from you. Worse still, you just gave me an even heavier load than the previous load!" He continued with protest.

"Sigh, I didn't say I had finished my story. I just said that we do not know, by what miracle, the leaders who were Lady Reha's creation, ended up defeating her." She said in a hurry when she saw Alvine's agitation.

"What?! Do you mean she's dead?" Asked Alvine with an incredulous air. "Sigh, do you realize what you're telling me, Sabrina? In your history, with its supreme powers, there was no chance that the supreme tree would succumb against the leaders, no chance!" He says in an affirmative tone.

"I think of the same thing. But when we woke up, we were...

"What do you mean... by when you wake up? How can you talk about your awakening when you haven't even told me how you were born??" Alvine cut off Sabrina's words when he saw her avoid his first question.

"You were wondering how we were born? Who am I, no, who are we? Well, I'll tell you... I, Sylvia, and eight others are... the last creation of the Yggdrasil tree before its avatar disappears for eternity and the tree and the mother planet were sucked into a black hole similar to your strange power!" She said, looking at Alvine with a frown.

"Wh... What?!" Alvine jumped on his chair when he heard Sabrina's words. 'System, have the effects of the potion faded?!'

|No, after the ingesting, only ten minutes passed! |

'H-how?! So how can she lie even though she had drunk this potion?! Unless she...

|affirmative, the potion does not react against her because she did not lie. |

'!!!' The words of his system were like a red iron that had just marked him. What did this mean? To be swallowed up by a power similar to the one he possesses? Seeing how Sabrina addressed this tree with honorary titles, he knew that her respect and loyalty to this tree were unwavering. Even if she did not see him as an enemy now, what will happen when she realizes that he has a connection with the disappearance of this tree?! Thinking about this theory, Alvine looked at Sabrina with eyes filled with mistrust

"No need to be wary of me like that. You can't be the cause of this event. Your birth, your whole life was lived billions of years after its extinction. Unless you are a reincarnation, no chance that you have a connection with this event, haha." She says in a mocking tone.

"!!!.. Ahaha, you are right. It is an absurd idea to reincarnate. Magic may work miracles, reincarnation is impossible, isn't it?!" But Alvine could not keep her usual cold blood. At that moment, he did not even dare to speculate on his thoughts, because of Sabrina who had the frightening power to read his thoughts.

"Yes, reincarnation is quite possible. But there is a time limit after death. It is impossible to reincarnate after so many years." She says as if she were giving lessons to her disciple.

"In short, let's go back a little, as I said, we were the two races that were created by Lady Reha before her disappearance. The Darks, and the Bright. Together, we formed a whole that were later called, the "Punishers". Our only mission was to annihilate the leaders and collect the powers of Lady Reha to resurrect her. But after the disappearance of the goddess Reha, our powers were greatly weakened, coupled with our numerical inferiority against the leaders who were hundreds after their war against the goddess Reha, we could no longer stand up to them after their alliances!"

"But after the annihilation of the original planet and the divine tree in a similar black hole, but a thousand times gigantic to yours, the residues of the divine tree powers were scattered in the void. Thus, the leaders went hunting for this power. Because, unlike the Punishers who were connected to the avatar of the supreme tree, the leaders were linked to the tree itself. So its annihilation caused serious problems for leaders! In the absence of the supreme tree, their immortalities were threatened. Living a million years was not a problem for them, but their vitality deteriorated after every thousand years. And when they noticed that they didn't have a long life, they conducted all kinds of experiments... but in the end, they had found only two solutions to prevent death from knocking on their doors. The first was to kill each other to absorb the vitality and powers of their fellow men. The second is to build their personal farms using the powers of life they had acquired after defeating the Yggdrasil tree." She said.

"What kind of farm do you talk about when you talk about personal farms?" Nervously asked Alvine.

She remained silent for a moment, then frowned by saying her words. "It's simple, all the mortal planets and the people who live there...are only their creations, which have only one goal, to lengthen the vitality of their creators after their absorption, which will only take place when it has provided enough enticing food. That is... when those who live there, and when the planet itself generate enough magical energy for the sole purpose of annihilating them in their best conditions!" She reveals with a carefree air without the slightest ounce of emotion. "And the planet of Alzania is no exception to this rule. This planet is the farm of a primordial being or one of the leaders if you prefer, who may wake up from his deep sleep perhaps in a hundred years or maybe tomorrow to recharge his vitality again before creating another planet and repeating the same process to infinity!" She continued after seeing the doubt in Alvine's eyes.

"...A... what?!!!"
