Chapter 1322 Final Showdown

Chapter 1322 Final Showdown

~TSSS~

As the tip of my finger touched [All Things], I felt everything around me stop.

Legris. Existence. Everything.

My eyes closed, and new ones opened entirely.

Right there and then. I had an epiphany that completely changed me forever.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

I felt my entire self connect to every single thing in existence.

From the Roots of both Trees, to the Trunks, to the Branches, to the Leaves, to even the tiniest of particles.

I was connected to everyone and everything that ever existed, that was currently existing, and that would exist.

It felt like I lived all their lives, felt all they felt... knew all they knew.

All of that knowledge, spread across infinite realities, became mine.

Compared to being a Grand Constellation, my current state felt infinitely more powerful.

I was beyond Boundless.

I was beyond Primordial.

I was... beyond everything.

I had become Infinite.

"Ack!"

Legris Damien was pushed back by the sudden rush of power that surrounded Jared.

He had been just a few inches further than Jared, but it was too late for him.

Jared now had all of the power and knowledge he sought.

"No... this wasn't how it was supposed to go!" Legris growled at Jared, his hatred simmering out of his blackened form.

He immersed himself in the darkness that he was, allowing the concept of Nonexistence to completely envelope his body.

"I don't care what you think you are, or what you have become!" Legris yelled, his blackened eyes widening in desperate fury.

"You're in my way! I'll destro—!"

"That's enough, Legris." Jared's voice suddenly echoed in the vastness of ORIGIN.

It felt like a multitude of people were speaking at the same time.

No, not just a multitude.

More like all of creation was speaking as Jared uttered the words that he did.

It was overwhelming.

"No... this isn't how it's meant to go! That power is mine! MINE!" Legris yelled.

"The one who should have it is ME!"

"It's over." Jared responded, his body now a cluster of indescribable light.

He had become a kaleidoscope of radiance, unable to be seen or perceived by anyone beneath him.

Not even Legris could properly decipher him.

He was unable to have what he desired no matter how hard he tried.

He did his best to reach the verh precipice he was disqualified from, but it was all for naught.

Desperation pushed him to the forbidden.

He decided to defy the laws of nature, and the result ended with him in a strange space between existence and nonexistence.

A Limbo.

This was the start of Legris, and his Original Magic that no one else possessed.

[Who Am I?]

All variants—all versions of himself—had been affected by the sole decision of one.

They were all connected in the darkness.

They were one mind, with nigh infinite bodies—his own.

All of them were Legris, and Legris was all of them.

But they were all gone now.

They merged into one, and that one sought even more—he wanted everything.

It was a grand goal, but he could achieve it.

If he, as an Inept, could finally use Magic, then what was stopping him from achieving even more?

He failed the first time, thanks to Neron.

However, thanks to Neron's 'correction' of the forgotten timeline, he had his chance once again.

This time, he decided to be more subtle, to be more careful.

He would be perfect!

But in the end... he was defeated by the one he had deemed to be most irrelevant.

Legris had thought that if anyone could stand a chance at stopping him, it would be the one who did it the first time.

But he was wrong.

Jared, the talentless son of the Leonard Household, was the one to do it.

The conclusion was so absurd that it could make anyone laugh.

However, Legris was not laughing, even until his final moments.

He was empty.

He... had always been empty.
