Ch.242 Mistakes of the Past
Eridel went through a few things with her, leaving important but subtle instructions that would ensure the overall progression of the world, before shooting off to prepare for the birth of his third Soulmate. Of course, not without checking who Luna’s own Soulmate was. There was no way he wouldn’t check something like that, even if the matter of his own Soulmate hadn’t arisen, and he’d be a buffoon of abnormal proportions if he didn’t. Which, all lifeforms with intelligence would SURELY agree, was the furthest from what he was.
In any case, the result was... cliche.
It was something that anyone who had read or watched a few fantasy stories could predict. Any one with the most basic understanding of Yin and Yang would be clapping with glee and a certain country back in his birth World would be crying tears of joy as they prostrated themselves with reverence.
How amusing.
Although Eridel had been hoping for a more unique result, this was fine too, so he threw the matter at the back of his mind (of course, along with a few potential plans concerning the matter) and focused on his own Soulmates.
His first one was the Pink Gaseous Planet he had found a while back who would be entering his domain in a few years. He thought of that planet all the time and had made ample preparations for her arrival.
His second Soulmate was the ex-Abomination of the North who was now living a new life as a human under the care of Gabriel and Seraqiel, and would be the heir of one of this World’s greatest forms of ‘Magic’ and Martial Arts. Of course, she was still very much an apocalyptic Slime and very much NOT a human... but nobody needed to know that right now, not even her.
Unfortunately, whilst the idea wasn’t a bad one, with all the things he had been dumping into the World in such a short time frame, the so-called balance between Order and Chaos had been greatly tilted in one side's favour, and it was not Order. The 7 Deadly Sins, the Sea Creatures, the South Continent, the North Continent, the rising Ghost problem and so much more.
There was even another growing problem that was even bigger than the Devil race, a new group of... creatures that could barely be categorised as a single race, the group that had arisen as a result of his previous Hybrid experiments using Monsters, the Chimeras. And guess what he had thought about it when he noticed it.
‘Whoop, guess the South Continent and the surrounding area will be in trouble for a while!’ Knowing fully well that it would cause damage to many more areas if there was nobody to stop it given enough time...
...Eridel didn’t even have the energy to insult himself, he quite frankly didn’t even want to think about the matter anymore.
All of this was behind him now. Slowly but surely, he would restore the balance in his World and allow the forces of ‘Order’ to reach a point where it could contend with ‘Chaos’. The 7 Empyrean Virtues would be arriving soon, and more to come. Eventually, the purely ‘good’ forces of the World would be more than just the Twin Stars of Hope in the North and perhaps the various races on the Central Continent that had a greater moral system than the rest.
With all that being said, whilst he had ALLOWED mistakes to occur in the past, they would not repeat themselves with his Soulmates. How he would treat them when it came to that was up in the air, but regarding their livelihood, there was no room for error.
If he had to, he would utilise the gigantic computing power of his mind to solely that purpose, something that not even his most prized creation; The Eridius System, had received.
