Seeing the kids playing happily in the garden,
Little Mortal walked to them.
It didn't take long before he found out that he could even interact with them.
The old lady on the rocking chair who saw an extra little boy was added to her grandchildren's group,
Stood up and walked to them in confusion.
She patted the little boy's head and asked,
"Who are you, little one?"
Little Mortal turned around and answered,
"Mortal, and you?"
The old lady who felt this little boy in dirty clothing is kind of familiar, answered,
"I am Morthyxis.
What are you doing here?
Where are your parents? Where is your home?"
Little Mortal ran back to the kids to continue playing while shouting,
"The world is my parent.
The sky is my roof, and the ground is my bed."
The old lady who called herself Morthyxis was momentarily stunned.
Then she chuckled and went back to her seat while mumbling to herself,
"Such a fancy way to say you are a homeless orphan."
Time passed,
The parents finished their work in the garden, and the children left with their parents after saying goodbye to their grandmother.
Seeing them leave, the old lady stood up and walked towards a small hill not far away.
At the top of the hill, she saw the little boy named Mortal, who had suddenly disappeared, was here.
He was standing beside a grave.
Seeing her coming, he pointed at the grave,
"Is this your husband's grave?"
Morthyxis nodded,
"He died last year.
We met here, and we separated here."
Little Mortal nodded and commented,
"Romantic."
The old lady chuckled.
This kid's way of talking was interesting.
She asked,
"What are you doing here?
Don't you have a home to go back to?"
Little Mortal pointed at the ground,
"I told you that the ground is my bed.
So I am not only at home, but also in my bed.
Why do you think I'm barefoot? Because nobody stands on their beds with shoes on.
The question is,
Why are you standing on my bed with your shoes on?"
Morthyxis was stunned.
She looked at the little boy's feet,
And sure enough, they were bare...
'Does he think that the ground is really his bed?'
While speechless, she suddenly heard some weak and chaotic sounds coming from afar.
She turned around and saw smoke and fire rising from the village far away.
Her village, to be exact.
In panic, she turned around to tell the little boy to stay here and not follow her, but he was nowhere to be found.
So she ran towards her village as fast as her old body would allow.
When she arrived at the village, or if you could call this burned and ruined place a village anymore,
She almost fainted from the scene unfolding before her.
With the slightest of hope, she ran to her children's house.
But everything was burned to the ground on her way.
Only on the horizon she saw an army galloping away.
The old lady, with a pale face and tears already streaming from her cheeks, reached her children's house and opened the broken door with trembling hands.
When she saw the scene inside and the burned bodies, her vision turned dark.
Even with all the fire around, the old lady felt cold.
So cold that she felt her heart freeze, and then, even a sound of something breaking came from her chest!
She placed her hand on her chest and knelt weakly.
Now there was only the sound of her cries and the burning flame around her that was echoing through the village.
A day and night passed like this.
The old lady, Morthyxis, was still kneeling in the same place.
Her eyes were dry, her lips were cracked,
And her pale face wasn't that much different from a dead person.
She slowly closed her eyes.
After a while, when she opened them again,
There was no feeling of sadness left inside.
Now,
There was only hatred.
She stood up with difficulty, found a shovel, and started digging.
Time passed as she buried the burned bodies of her family and the villagers.
At some point, the little boy joined her and helped with the digging.
But neither of them spoke a single word.
Both were silent, with a grim look.
Every time the old lady buried a person, her eyes turned colder, and the temperature around her dropped even more.
It was as if something was awakening inside her.
At the end, when she buried the last person,
The ground under her feet was frozen.
Even she herself was confused.
For how many days had she been digging the ground without eating or resting?
Was that even possible for an old woman like her to survive such a thing?
But that wasn't important now.
Something inside her was screaming for revenge, maybe because that was what she really wanted...
She first looked around for the little boy, but didn't find him.
As though he would disappear every time he sensed any danger, and now he has left due to the cold environment.
The old lady stepped into her old house, picked up her late husband's cane, and left.
Her destination?
The same way that the army responsible for her village's destruction went.
She knew an old woman like her would die under their blade, but she didn't care.
Without her children,
Without her grandchildren,
And without her old friends, what was the point of living anymore?
Morthyxis's journey began.
On her way, she didn't eat, she didn't rest, and she didn't sleep.
Two days later, she reached the army camp.
A guard who saw her tried to stop her,
But she raised her cane and smashed it at the guard.
The guard, while slightly surprised, raised his sword to block the wooden cane.
But,
He fell to the ground the next moment.
His skin turned pale in a moment, like a dead man,
And the blood in his veins seems to have been frozen from the inside.
Even the old lady herself was taken aback.
At this moment,
An arrow came out of nowhere and hit her forehead, but it was reflected as if it had hit an ice wall.
Once again, the old lady was shocked,
And so was the archer who released the arrow.
It didn't take long before a one-sided battle started between the old lady, Morthyxis, and the army.
Whoever hit her with a weapon would fall to the ground without even scratching her,
And whoever she hit with her cane would be the same.
Everyone's fate was death with frozen veins.
As she fought and as she killed more and more, her eyes became colder and colder, and her freezing effect on the soldiers more intense.
It was as if every soldier that she killed made her stronger.
At some point, even a black aura of death started appearing around her.
It didn't take long before the soldiers who stayed and fought all died, and the soldiers who were afraid of this demoness ran away with their lives.
Now,
Only the old lady remained standing between the corpses of thousands of soldiers who couldn't even scratch her, even though they fought bravely.
"That's not enough.
You need to find the source of the disaster if you are looking for a meaningful revenge."
Hearing the familiar voice of the little boy,
Without turning back, she nodded and continued on her path, hunting the runaway soldiers and looking for the one who ordered them to come to her village and slaughter everyone.
...
A month later.
Morthyxis was standing in front of the king's throne.
But now with a completely different appearance.
She was extremely skinny, as if even a breeze could end her life.
A blue light was flickering in her cold eyes, and a dark and heavy aura was emitting from her body.
The only thing remaining from her past was the hatred and the cane of her late husband, which was an ice cane now.
At this moment,
Behind her was a frozen capital,
And in front of her,
A defeated king, kneeling and begging for her to stop.
"Why are you doing this?
It was God's order!
Do you hear me, you cruel demoness?
God's order!
Any king needs to kill a certain number of people to keep the rest alive!
If I weren't forced, would I ever do such a thing?"
Morthyxis's cold eyes shifted from the king to the man in a black cloak behind his throne, who thought he was hiding.
She didn't know why, but she raised her hand towards him, and something invisible left the man's body.
It was the man himself, but he seemed to be made of glass.
The familiar voice sounded once more after a month,
"Oh, you can now bring people's souls out?
Good, let's see what he knows,
Who is this idiot behind the scenes who pretends to be a god?"
The king was stunned to see a survivor,
Who seems to be the demoness's accomplice!
And Morthyxis was puzzled as to who this child really was.
If others couldn't see him, she might have thought it was her imagination.
But at this moment, the king was clearly looking at him in surprise.
Morthyxis was only distracted for a moment and no longer cared about the little boy.
She was after revenge, and she had a soul in hand that knew where her next destination was.
The soul didn't take long to confess everything.
About the existence of beings with a higher level,
Who were living on this planet secretly,
And forcing the creatures to fight and kill each other at certain times.
The same group of beings would give them a specific target at specific times, so that they needed to be left alone while everyone else related to them needed to die.
It turned out that Morthyxis was one of them, who was supposed to be left alive while the rest of her family was massacred.
Morthyxis, after finding the clues about another culprit, left the frozen capital, which now had an extra frozen king and a shattered soul.
Her destination was now the main shrine of these so-called 'god's followers'.
...
A day after.
An ice eagle, as big as a house, landed in front of a big shrine.
Until now, Morthyxis didn't know why she didn't need to eat food anymore, why she didn't need to sleep, why her body was indestructible, or when she learned how to bring out people's souls and summon different ice creatures to aid her in her journey.
But none of these mattered to her.
She was only looking for revenge.
The big gate of the shrine opened, and a smiling woman walked out with open arms, saying,
"Welcome back."
And she froze on the spot.
Morthyxis walked inside while puzzled as to why the woman at the door would say such a thing to her, as if she knew her.
When she reached the big hall at the center of the shrine, everyone who came to welcome her froze one by one.
Soon after, she was standing in front of an enormous statue of a woman whose appearance was concealed by her cloak.
A voice sounded from the statue when she arrived close to it.
"I was wondering why you killed them.
So you are still 'yourself'."
And after a brief moment, a circular passage opened out of thin air, and the voice sounded again,
"Enter, if you want to know who ordered the slaughter.
Enter, if you want to know who you really are."
From the other side of the passage, for the first time in her life, Morthyxis could feel an aura that she couldn't fathom.
An aura that seemed to be superior to her.
Another voice sounded, but this time a familiar one.
"Isn't that a plot twist?
So you are—"
But the voice stopped.
Morthyxis turned around and saw the familiar little boy covering his mouth with his small hands.
She furrowed her brow and asked him,
"Did you know who I am?"
The little boy shook his head.
"Did you know who killed my family?"
The little boy shook his head again.
Morthyxis looked at the passage again and sighed,
"I feel this is my final destination, Little Mortal.
We might never see each other again..."
Then she looked at him,
Who somehow appeared in her journey and accompanied her from time to time,
And asked,
"Do you think I can take my revenge?"
But then again,
The little boy answered in a weird way, while looking away and snorting at her,
"*Humph*,
I'm not spoiling your origin story.
Go, go, I want to see the ending, don't waste my time.
I have other things to do."
Morthyxis, at a loss for words, walked in.
She knew even if she didn't want to, she was forced to go in anyway.
On the other side, the first thing she felt was a heavy pressure, and then she saw a person exactly like the statue in the shrine standing there,
Who said to her,
"You are a weird one, aren't you?
Now I need to find a replacement for those in the shrine for the next one..."
The disappointment in the voice was evident.
The head under the cloak shook, her eyes flickered with a violent red light,
"Forget it, come here.
The mainland's war just ended,
The manager almost died on the mainland.
I need to recover like the rest as fast as possible."
And stretched her hand towards her.
But Morthyxis didn't show any reaction.
What was this woman talking about?
And what was wrong with her hand?
Why was it only made of bones?
The woman's voice sounded again,
"Oh, my mistake.
You still don't know what's going on.
Let me explain it to you so that you can remember."
Morthyxis's gaze shifted from the hand to the woman's head, which was now revealed.
Her head was a skeleton, too, just with a rusty black crown on her head.
But for some reason, she didn't feel scared or any other negative feeling towards this skeleton.
There was even a sense of familiarity.
"You are my avatar, or clone, whatever you want to call it.
I sent you to my main planet for two reasons.
First, to experience death in different ways,
And second, to give me a helping hand when I'm injured after a war between the mainlands.
And yes,
You are not the only one; there are other clones like you on my main planet, experiencing death and gathering law for me."
As if her sealed memory was unsealed,
Morthyxis, the clone, remembered many things.
This woman was Morthyxis,
'The Eternal Ruler of Death and Decay',
And she was the clone, responsible for helping her experience her unique 'Death Law'.
All her life, everything she experienced,
Was only for this one purpose,
And it would end when the real Morthyxis needed to recover from an injury.
For millions of years, she went from family after family, and then lost one family after another.
Her memory then would be 'reset', and she would go to another place to start over.
Like a cycle of life and death, with her turning young and old repeatedly.
Until now, her main body has finally needed her and summoned her.
Morthyxis, the clone, asked with a trembling voice,
"W-what have you done to my families...?
Why would you do such a thing?"
And the real Morthyxis snorted,
"Don't you dare call those lowly creatures family!
I am a God!
Those ants are nothing but my property!
They live and die for me!
And how many families did you kill while looking for revenge?
You aren't better than me!"
Morthyxis, the clone, closed her eyes, and her head dropped while her hands were trembling.
She was right.
How many families died because of her?
Because of her main body, to be exact, that made her, and forced this path of revenge on her, over and over again?
The old lady's eyes turned confused.
She felt lost.
Was she even counted as a real person?
Seeing her clone not responding anymore,
The real Morthyxis raised her hand again,
"Come, you are a special one; before merging with me, tell me what you wish, and I will grant it to you if it's not something absurd."
Hearing the mockery in her voice, the old lady closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the confusion was gone.
She made her decision in an instant and chose a clear path.
The cold eyes full of hatred were back once again.
She walked forward, stretched out her hand, and while holding her main body's hand, said,
"I only need one thing."
And her main body nodded,
"Tell me."
And the old lady said her last word in this life, before merging with her,
"Vengeance!"
Her voice was cold, so cold that even her main body couldn't help but shiver.
The resolve in her voice indicated that her goal remained the same.
She was still looking for revenge, but not for herself anymore, because she felt unworthy of it.
Now she wanted revenge for those who lost their lives because of her and the main body that created her.
She already knew many things about herself and how the merging process with the main body works.
When the two merge, the clone's body becomes the new body, and the main body's soul replaces the clone's soul.
But there were two big differences this time.
First,
"What is this heart?
Why is it frozen...?
Wait,
How did you comprehend such a unique ice law?"
Indeed,
The clone had an extra unique law for herself.
After many years of experiencing hatred, she finally comprehended an ice law in this life experience,
Which her heart and bones became the host of.
So the injured and weak main body with death law,
Couldn't take over the body that hosted the ice law.
And the second difference was her soul.
Morthyxis screamed once again,
"Why does your soul still hate me so much?
Don't you understand?
I am you!"
Indeed, the soul now hated even itself,
Let alone the source that created it.
A battle took place within the body of Morthyxis between her injured main body and her clone, which had double unique laws.
All of the creatures inside the castle turned to skeletons and froze while the two struggled.
The battle lasted for one year.
In the end, Morthyxis slowly opened her eyes.
A blue light was now flickering inside,
And her bones were changed to ice crystals.
Inside her chest, a cracked ice heart was beating slowly.
At this moment, the familiar voice sounded,
"The end?"
Morthyxis looked down and saw the familiar little boy standing there, scratching his head.
She smiled at him and said,
"Not yet.
I am the 'Lord' of this mainland.
Everyone else, the 'Gods' included, are injured.
It's time to make a change."
And she looked outside at the bubbles in the sky.
She chuckled coldly and flew outside.
It didn't take long for everyone on the mainland to think that their Lord had gone crazy.
She was going everywhere, killing the soldiers and commanders.
The weak mainland manager attempted to stop her by using the 'loyalty contract' that every lord was required to sign, but there was no reaction.
The one who signed the contract was the main body,
which was now dead, and the clone had replaced her.
She wasn't under any contract, and like an unstoppable force, she cleared the whole mainland of any living creature.
But she wasn't done.
The Mainland manager was still a level 10.
When the other party recovered, it could kill her.
She was a Lord who couldn't even see the other party.
So she started separating the universes connected to the mainland and cutting off its source of power.
Then she took away the universes one by one and stuffed them into her frozen heart.
Each universe made her stronger, and at the same time, the mainland manager grew weaker.
She continued like this until no universe remained!
After that, she came after the so-called 'God of Mainland',
Or, to be exact, the manager.
Now, she had advanced to level 9 in an unusual manner, and the Mainland manager had been downgraded to level 9.
The skeleton phoenix flying outside the castle was actually the former manager of this mainland, who lost to Morthyxis in the end after an earth-shattering battle between the two.
Like all of the other creatures on this mainland that she turned into an undead, the manager was also turned into an undead by her.
The mainland itself, after losing everything,
And every source of power was forced to choose her,
The only one left, as its new manager, and the new leader, because she had all the universes in her heart, and she was actually the only source of power for it.
And that's how she became a level 10 with the support of her mainland.
Little mortal who finally saw the ending, nodded,
"So that's why there are no bubbles around this mainland.
Grandma Morthyxis has them all with her so she can provide the energy this mainland needs to move around with."
After that, he glanced at the skeleton lady with her cool-looking ice crown, black robe made of her death law, the cane, which was now an ice staff,
And the skeleton phoenix that she was standing on its head arrogantly, and muttered,
"Such a show-off..."
Morthyxis, hearing him, disappeared from the phoenix head and appeared in front of him.
She chuckled and said,
"I see you are still here.
Tell me,
What do you think of the path I walked on?"
Little mortal shrugged,
"Nothing special about it.
That's just the path of revenge,
Maybe filled with death,
But it's a generic and easy path.
I am walking on the same path too.
The only difference is that those who are facing me are a lot luckier compared to those facing you..."
Morthyxis was slightly taken aback.
This child, even with her at level 10, didn't change.
He was fearless, carefree, and not so polite to her!
So she asked with curiosity,
"And why are those facing you lucky?"
Little mortal shook his head helplessly,
"Because my hands are 'chained',
Or believe me, we never even had this conversation."
Then he sighed deeply and, as if talking to himself, muttered,
"I am only a monster, in the skin of a savior, pretending to be the chosen one..."
Morthyxis was speechless...
But Little Mortal wasn't finished with his line.
He glanced secretly at his notebook and continued,
"Would I be forgiven for what I am going to do?"
And then he looked into her eyes,
"There are sins that cannot be forgiven.
You know that, right?"
Morthyxis came back to her senses at this moment,
And after understanding his meaning, she nodded.
She looked at the phoenix outside and sighed,
"Indeed...
Even if I am not the real me...
I am the carrier of her sins..."
But when she turned to the little boy again,
He was gone again...
Not long after, the world around her shattered, as if it were made of glass!
Inside the frozen garden that had now transformed into how it was before, the fire in the skeleton's eyes turned on again.
She stood up in a hurry and scanned every corner of her castle.
Then she connected to her mainland and searched the land.
Now that she was out of her 'reality dream',
She remembered why the little boy was familiar.
He was the same little boy she saw in the cage,
And the name was the same one she had seen in the sky a couple of days ago.
Mortal, the strongest!
The abandoned newborn that Krevaris, the Hunters' manager, took away with it.
Not finding him anywhere,
She sat back on her chair and wondered what had just happened.
How could he appear in her dream?
Was it just a coincidence?
That was impossible!
To be sure, she started 'dreaming' again.
Everything around her came back to life, and the happy family appeared in the garden.
But this time, the little boy didn't appear in her dream...
While puzzled, she was drawn to her dream once again.
A dream that she forced herself to see every day, without escaping it.
The dream that she watched over and over again,
To not lose her last bit of humanity...
....
Hunters mainland.
Little Mortal was now strolling around.
He jumped from the undead mainland back to here without using the second feather.
"You know,
These managers, while stupid, are so cunning.
If I used the second feather, the ugly vulture would know I'm back."
The crystal vibrated.
This new level 10 character had so many changes of emotions that I feel I might explode at any moment!>
Little Mortal rubbed his chin,
"Little crystal.
Do you dare to try something?"
And the crystal vibrated arrogantly.
It knew now that it was connected to this little monster, so anything was non-dangerous for it.
Little mortal nodded in approval,
"Good!
Then tell your main body to attack big sister.
But it's all on your own responsibility, and it has nothing to do with me.
I just tell you the reason."
The crystal, while puzzled, vibrated,
"If I'm not wrong, while I am a frontline guardian,
For those who know nothing about me,
Like big sister, Lady Astronaut, and that Space Pirate,
My 'identity' is locked in 'secret guardian' mode.
So, if my guess is correct,
After big sister advanced in our guardian territory,
She should be a member of the territory, too.
Because we hosted her advancement.
However, my identity is completely hidden, so the world law never sent her any message related to her advancement in the guardian territory, to keep my identity a secret.
Which means, while her universe isn't under frontline effect,
She herself might be.
And to test that, she needs to be attacked.
If she doesn't get hurt, then my guess is correct,
If she gets hurt, then be ready for your punishment."
The crystal thought for a moment, and then vibrated,
It has nothing to do with us.>
Little mortal nodded,
"Exactly, it has nothing to do with us."
And took out his notebook.

"Alright.
Two hidden quests were taken care of on this trip.
How long were we gone, little crystal?"
Little mortal nodded,
"Good, we have 3 days to finish some other quests before the end of the 10-day deadline that I need to be back here and report to that ugly vulture about the secret mission."
Then he looked at the sky, and from the bubbles' location, found where the level 6 creatures were gathering.
So he walked in the direction of the tavern while asking his crystal to play music for him.
The crystal vibrated,
"Hmm...
Play something instrumental."
....
Lady Tyrant's castle.
Inside the tavern, Lord was drinking the special colorless liquid of his old friend.
From time to time, the people inside would take a glance at the upside-down pillar outside, and then at the Lord.
No one believed him when he said that the little boy was a newborn with zero law, and the same newborn they sent out to be Lubo's food.
Until the contribution pillar turned upside-down and Mortal's name appeared.
0 law, 0 contribution.
Now, they didn't know what to believe and what not to believe.
Was he Senior Mortal, or just a 'food' for Lubo who survived?
Why did the pillar turn upside down to bring his name to the top?
Wasn't that because even the mainland was showing him respect?
But if it was a sign of respect, why were his laws and contributions zero?
Was it because the mainland couldn't detect them?
Everyone was puzzled.
But Lord, who knew some other secrets, was even more confused.
After 'God' took the newborn away, it disappeared.
He couldn't feel it on his shoulder anymore.
He waited for seven days, but it didn't appear.
So he finally decided to go where he would go at specific times, when he was sure 'God' wasn't around.
Outside the tavern,
When he walked out, two pairs of eyes locked onto him.
One was the vulture, and the other was Little Mortal, who was waiting here in ambush beside the vulture.
When Lord left, the two followed him.
One of them was sure 'it' was the only one following him, and the other one was sure that 'they' were the only two following him.
An hour later, they reached a specific castle, which was nothing more than a door lying on the ground, as if it had been dropped there.
But when Lord knocked on the door, it opened,
And a staircase to an underground place appeared.
So, the three of them went inside.
After going down for a while, they reached an open area.
It was like a completely different place.
Tall trees were everywhere.
Something like a sun was hanging in the sky, and the whole environment seemed to be a jungle.
Little mortal looked around and, after sniffing a couple of times, nodded.
He recognized the place.
The smell was the same as the fairy's garden.
As they walked deeper into the jungle,
The same scene with depressed fairies, newborns in cocoons, and the containers that the vulture showed little mortal a week ago, appeared.
But when Little Mortal looked at the sky, his jaw dropped.
A huge spider was sitting on its web up there, motionless.
It was so large that it cast a shadow over the trees like a cloud in the sky.
All of the cocoons hanging on the trees were connected to the web under this spider, and then to the spider's butt, where the source of the webs was.
It seems the fairy's garden was being kept here in this creature's 'castle', and the spider was responsible for the 'law extraction' and security.
Little Mortal took out his notebook.
[Behind the enemy line quests.]
- Prove to the vulture that I'm weak but useful ✓

- Find the newborns (hidden quest unlocked) ✓
Two more quests were done.
Lord, after a look at the spider, nodded at it and moved deeper while the two followed him.
At the end of the fairy's garden was a tunnel that Lord walked into.
Feeling the heat, Little Mortal nodded again, as if knowing where the tunnel leads to.
Not long after, the group of three,
With one of them thinking he was alone, one of them thinking it was only the two of them, and one of them being sure it was only the three of them,
arrived at the depth of the tunnel, which was connected to a hot, red lake full of lava.
It seems fairy's land, even after changing place,
Still had its connection with the lava sea.
Lord, without a pause, jumped inside the lava,
And so did the other two sneaky stalkers.
Now they were in the underworld territory where the mainland couldn't sense any space fluctuation.
Lord, as though knowing exactly where he wanted to go, went in a certain direction, then found a random rock, flipped it over, and picked up a small chip like the ones the vulture gave Lortal, and left quickly.
This time, Little Mortal didn't follow him, but the vulture did.
Little Mortal just came back with them until they reached the tunnel's entrance and stayed there.
After they were gone, he chuckled,
"I was wondering how these chips ended up with that ugly vulture.
So this Lord guy somehow has a secret connection with those scientists from that advanced Mainland, and they sent him these chips here for him to pick up.
Because the lava sea can hide the space fluctuation, Lord thinks that this manager knows nothing about the secret deal he has.
Though in reality, the ugly vulture was taking those chips for itself and then probably erase Lord's memory about them ... "
Little mortal shook his head,
"Let's forget about them and their no-one-cares secrets."
And took out his notebook.

And clapped his hands.
"Alright,
Only the rescue mission and taking the garden away from this mainland are left.
I only need to wait for an opportunity to take action ."
The Crystal vibrates,
< What kind of opportunity ?>
Little mortal rolled his eyes,
"Little crystal, use your imagination.
What's my strongest passive skill?
Even that stupid vulture came up with a plan to get rid of those undead, while in reality, it was a help to me to distract everyone."
The Crystal vibrates in surprise,
< Your passive fate skill is active?
We only need to wait for it to trigger and create the best opportunity? >
Little Mortal nodded confidently,
"Exactly.
It means we have three days of free time for ourselves.
So, let's go back to that garden and see what that familiar status I saw was? "
"I don't know, let's go and figure out what's going on.
But that familiar outfit's origin is this mainland, so it probably is the same."
....
Back in the fairy's garden.
Little Mortal was now in front of a statue of a man with a familiar martial arts outfit.
The Crystal vibrates.
The one from that old thief's treasury.>
" Yep, Aladdin snatched it from here, so this guy should be the previous owner."
Little Mortal looked down and saw a tablet with some vague information covered in dust.
"Oh, look! Is this his origin story? Let me see!"
And start cleaning it.
"*Gasp*!
This guy was someone important then?
Let me read his story first."
And he read what was engraved on the tablet.
[ The statue of the strongest Newborn, God of Martial Arts, Menshiro! ]
Little Mortal frownd,
"Menshiro? Why does this name sound familiar?"
[ He was reborn in Hunters Mainland,
The Mainland, where no newborn could be exploited due to its Unique Zone! ]
"What!? Is there such a good thing here?
But wait! I could clearly feel my weakness!
This story should be outdated ..."
[ He gained the title of Strongest newborn at the age of 1000. ]
Little Mrotal was puzzled,
"How could he be the strongest newborn with me around?"
The crystal vibrates,
"Oh, right! I only achieved this title recently!"
[ He gained the title of the Strongest Level 6 in existence at the age of 10,000. ]
"So cool? Show us something visual, world law, don't be useless!"
[ He died at the age of 100,000. ]
Little Mortal was speechless.
"That's it? Show me some of his fights!
Wasn't he cool? Prove it then!"
Annoyed, he even attacked the statue with a spin kick, and as if his kick was performed in a unique way, the statue actually reacted, and a memory recorded by world law came out of it!
The Crystal, who could communicate with world law, said immediately,
But it can't find you to give you the memory! >
Little Mortal shouted in panic,
"Catch it! Catch it! I can't reveal myself here!"
And the Crystal immediately absorbs the memory!
Not a second after, both Lord and The Vulture appeared in front of the statue, which turned to dust not long after.
Both of them start scanning the surrendering, not knowing what happened.
Meanwhile, Little Mortal had already run back to the lava sea, hiding in a corner, excited.
"Little Crystal, let's watch it!"
But the Crystal starts vibrating sadly,
"What do you mean? The memory isn't working?"
Only if the 'Fated Newborn' receives it directly would it work!
You lost the opportunity to gain the legacy of the strongest Level 6!>
Little Mortal was speechless.
"Little Crystal..."
"Do I look weak to you? Or my divine techniques look weak to you? Huh?
Do I, Mortal, the strongest, with a +100 level higher than everybody else, need someone's legacy?"
Now it was the Crystal's turn to be speechless...
Indeed, what was it thinking?
" *Hahaha*! Little Crystal, you are so funny! you almost got me!
Alright, show me the memory! "
And it starts playing the World Law record.
Little Mortal watched carefully to see who this strongest Level 6 in existence with a familiar name was!
The first scene was the familiar Newborn's platform.
At this moment, A Little boy in Martial arts clothes came out of a golden ring, landed on the platform steadily, and looked around confidently!
Little Mortal commented,
"My goodness! He didn't spawn naked in white mist like me! He wasn't even dizzy or unconscious!"
The little boy then saw the fairy's garden farther away, ran there, and beat up every newborn he saw there!
He then introduced himself as the boss who would help all newborns rise in power.
"Look at him! He knows about the law of this zone that nobody can bully them here!
Is he going to start a rebellion?"
But in the next scene, Lord, his young version, appeared and took him away after teaching him a lesson.
"Hahaha, rebellion failed! I think that the Lazy guy is taking him to his universe, so he trains his army!
We should wait for his comeback! "
[1000 years later.]
Lord smashed into the Hunters Mainland, which was filled with grasslands, and a young man in the familiar black martial art clothes appeared above him, floating mid-air, looking arrogant!
He was the God of Martial Arts, who was stronger than Lord now and made a comeback.
"Oh, is this the part he gained the title of strongest newborn? But why is Hunters Mainland green? Even the first time I saw it, it was gray!
Is this video that old? "
A new scene starts playing.
In this one, the sky was blood red, and the Mainland was devouring one universe after another!
It was as if the world was ending!
All of the higher beings on the Mainland were attacking God of Martial Arts from all directions as though they had gone crazy, but to no avail!
Each time he was in a bad situation, he would clap his hands once, and a unique shock wave would send everyone flying, even their attacks were repelling.
And that wasn't the only thing bizarre about his Law!
The more abnormal thing was those who got attacked by him.
Any part of their bodies that he touched would explode from the inside!
Little Mortal looked at the creatures exploding one after another in disbelief!
"Look! Look! His Law of Martial Arts has a copyright problem!
I was wondering why his name is familiar!
He is Menshiro, the Mist of the Morth star!"
The Crystal was shocked,
"I sure do!
He is the OG GOAT!
Maoh and Moki's younger brother.
Ask your main crystal later, it has some of his records.
Show me the next scene!
Let's see what is happening in the Mainland.
Why is it devouring universes? How did it turn from a normal mainland to an Evil version?
Is this because of its transformation that the higher beings with universe connected to it are acting like maniacs?"
The Crystal felt dizzy.
Who was Maoh? who was Moki?
The scene changed.
The Hunters Mainland, which was gray now, was in the midst of devouring a normal Mainland while in the sky, a battle between higher beings was taking place.
"Oh, the Mainland is already going to advance to level 9? Or it wouldn't devour Mainlands...
The Hunters Mainland has already fallen in this part of the movie."
But at this moment, the God of martial arts, Menshiro, suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of the lava sea of the Normal mainland that was being devoured, raised his leg, and smashed it to the ground!
The whole lava sea shook, and from somewhere around the center, a massive piece of land rose!
He then jumped up and kicked the piece of land towards the lava sea of Hunters Mainland before disappearing!
"Is it just me, or did he uproot the fairy's garden hidden in that mainland's lava sea and take it away?"
"So cool..."
The next scene started.
[10,000 years later.]
Lord had a one-on-one fight with the God of Martial Arts.
It seems the Mainland has already advanced to level 9, and Lord was the top power of the Mainland after advancing to level 7.
Even so, he lost to Menshiro again!
Lord's Law of Laziness didn't have any effect on his opponent's unbreakable determination, and for the first time in the history of higher beings, someone with 1 level lower beat his opponent!
"So that's how he got the title of strongest level 6!"
The Crystal asked curiously,
Little Mortal shook his head,
"Nope.
When I started a new game, I was level 85 from the beginning, so you can't compare us at all right now,
And before that, when I was level 6 with my universe, I didn't have any laws.
So basically, I was the Higher being with the title of the 'weakest level 6'.
Do you think the 'Weakest level 6' can beat the 'strongest level 6'? "
The Crystal,
<-_->
So much difference between the two lives...
Weakest level 6 to nonexistent level 85, or now level +100 to be exact.
The scene changed.
[100,000 years later.]
"Oh, it's the time he dies!
Let's see how!"
This scene was completely chaotic.
A huge, scary black head was in the sky devouring one universe after another!
But not like Evil Mainlands, instead, by sucking them into nothingness!
It would open its mouth, and anything that comes to its pass would be gone in a moment!
At the same time, the higher beings of two different Mainlands were in the midst of a bloody fight.
The Vulture and another creature, who were 'invisible' to everyone's eyes, and fighting in outer space, suddenly stopped and attacked the head after a while as if they had reached an agreement.
But that didn't matter anymore because the scene was focused on the God of Martial Arts, who, as always, went for the rescue of the newborns in the enemy Mainland.
But this time he made a mistake.
As thought he didn't know who would be the winner of the battle because of the big head devouring everything in the sky, after uprooting the fairy's garden, he uproot the fairy garden of the hunters mainland too and stayed somewhere outside of the two zone, waiting for the result and to see if he should flee, choose a new Mainland, or go back to his old Mainland!
But stepping outside the Zone that protects his weaknesses for thousands of years, which he had almost forgotten about, was his exact mistake!
A group of hundreds of level 7 creatures from Hunters Mainland, who saw the opportunity, attacked him, took the newborns hostage, and forced him to go fight the head that was devouring everyone's universe.
Little Mortal sighed,
"Yeah... Good luck winning against Lubo..."
The Crystal was shocked,
"Yep, that's Lubo if you give it some food to start a rampage."
The Crystal felt it had discovered a great secret!
In the scene,
Before leaving, the God of Martial Arts, who knew he could never come back, left his birth treasure, the martial arts outfit, behind.
And that was it.
He just got close to Lubo, and before having the time even to fight it, he disappeared into nothingness...
Little Mortal, the Crystal, and the silent Notebook,
"-_-"
-The end.
