Little Mortal scratched his head.
"Well, that ended pretty fast without giving us any good information about how the mainlands change from normal to evil.
But it was a pretty good old school martial arts movie to be honest..."
And what should we do now?>
"Nothing.
We wait for the 'opportunity', and I sleep until then.
Wake me up when the time comes."
"How should I know? If fate allows it, you will know."
And after that, he went to sleep in a random corner.
The crystal,
<...>
.....
Mainland.
The castle of the Entertainment Goddess.
Big Sister was currently looking at her crystal worriedly.
Not long ago, her crystal suddenly started trembling nonstop, and when she tried to ask it, 'What's wrong?',
It answered,
She tried to find the source of the problem, and it turned out it was one of her child crystals that was causing trouble.
But after searching for the culprit, she couldn't find it.
"My beloved crystal,
I checked all of the child crystals, but I didn't find the source."
The crystal, which already suspected who was behind all of this, was going to answer, but it suddenly received a message.
Entertainment Goddess felt it too,
"Oh, who sent a direct message to you?
Let's read it."
But she was denied access to it.
"...?"
While puzzled, she found out it was from the only crystal that she couldn't check because it wasn't in the Mainland or any universe connected to it.
The one with Little Mortal, who was on a 'secret mission' at this moment!
The crystal actually knew from the start that the only troublemaker was the crystal with Mortal.
That's why, when a couple of hours ago it sensed that a massive amount of raw law was on its way, it tried to contact the child crystal.
However, it has not received a response from it yet.
After reading the message, the Crystal figured out what was going on.
So they were already 'behind' the enemy line for 7 days!
Here in the Mainland, only 16 to 18 hours had passed...
After reading the reply, the crystal knew that things weren't going well.
Law from there needed around 17 hours to reach here, and messages needed around 2 hours.
That's why it received a reply to its message with a 4-hour delay.
Any pictures and videos were impossible for the child crystal to send, though.
But none of this was important now.
From the message, it knew what was coming now was just an appetizer.
That child crystal actually recorded more than 500 level 7 creatures that Little Mortal scared to death in a tavern, and then did the same with a group of 90 thousand level 6.
And if it wasn't enough, he even found two level 10 creatures there,
And one of the two even showed them a couple of hours' long origin story with lots of emotional changes, while the other level 10 creature seems to be only annoyed by Little Mortal.
The one with less change in emotions was originated from the vulture and its 'Law of Devour',
The other one was the Law of Ice and Death.
The child crystal reported the situation to its main body and told it about the frontline effect.
If it works, then Entertainment goddess could receive all the laws on their way,
If it didn't, then it was better to disconnect from it completely and leave the laws with the child crystal, or their master might explode for real.
The main crystal was needed to make a decision quickly now, because time was running out!
And from what happened when her master was advancing and the Queen of Hell, Lilith, showed up to burn the universe,
The Crystal already guessed that her master was under the Frontline Effect at that time.
How else did she survive that terrifying fire law?
But to be sure, it tried to test it anyway.
Entertainment Goddess looked at her crystal,
"Tell me, what other secret business is that little troublemaker involving you in again?"
I have an opportunity here for you,
Do you want to try it?>
Entertainment Goddess raised an eyebrow,
"You know that I am a level 7 now, right?
What is it that you call an opportunity for me?"
We need to check something.>
Entertainment Goddess was speechless,
"Now you even want to attack me?
Do you know what others think if they find out?
With all the unique birth treasures gone because of a certain someone,
Only you are left as a unique birth treasure.
And now you, the only survivor, want to attack me?
You started with keeping secrets, and then taking away my access to lots of videos and messages,
And now this?>
Entertainment Goddess was really angry and wanted to cry at the same time!
"Are you still my crystal or not?"
She felt aggrieved.
The crystal was at a loss.
Because of the 'invisible thief', Mortal the lawless, the whole Mainland was empty, and there was a sense of fear and uncertainty in everyone's mind!
No one wanted to come out of their universes until the name Mortal was 'gray' in the god's ranking list.
What if he were back somehow without anyone noticing?
And unfortunately, his name was still as shiny as ever.
Seeing her crystal not answering,
Entertainment Goddess gritted her teeth and said,
"I only allow you to scratch me!
Nothing more!
And only at the tip of my finger!"
Let's try it before it's too late!>
Entertainment Goddess was puzzled as too late for what? But if her crystal says there is no time, then it's better not to waste any time.
"Here, I removed my defense."
And the crystal changed shape slightly, became sharp on its edge, and tried to cut the 'defenseless' finger.
*Ding*
"O_o"
The attack was reflected as if it hit a finger made of steel.
"Try it again.
I think after reaching level 7,
My skin became too hard."
*Ding*
"Eh!?"
Seeing the result, Entertainment Goddess grabbed the crystal and tried it herself.
*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*
"What in Mainland's name is happening?
Why can't I hurt myself?
Don't tell me even my body now is keeping secrets from me?"
The crystal, who received the confirmation, contacted a certain 'friend' immediately.
"Wait, what are you doing?
Why did you ask the Space Mirror to seal my castle again?"
Entertainment Goddess, seeing the new development, was now panicking!
Why was everything out of her control after that little troublemaker entered her life in Mainland?
But the crystal only said,
Here it comes.>
Entertainment Goddess was going to ask what's coming?
But she suddenly felt hundreds of creatures at the same level as her, but a lot stronger, suddenly start sending her raw law.
All of it originated from fear!
She didn't even have time to think about what could make so many level 7 creatures fear, or where so many level 7 creatures were gathering.
The amount of law was so much that she knew her body couldn't handle it.
Was her birth treasure betraying her?
Has the rebellion of birth treasures begun?
She was the first victim?
However, just a moment before her body explodes,
The feeling disappeared.
But it appeared again the next moment, because the law she was receiving wasn't finished yet.
This situation continued like this for a while, until she received a law that wasn't raw anymore!
It means the entity that was recorded by the child Crystal was far stronger than her.
Someone similar to the one with fire law.
This time, while her body could handle it,
She felt her mind going dizzy, and after a brief moment of resistance, she fainted...
The crystal, which saw its master suspended in the air while breathing as if she were sleeping, muttered,
I don't need to keep part of the law stored and feed her slowly either.
I can just feed her everything...>
The crystal was amazed by its discovery.
With an indestructible body and an infinite amount of law always coming their way, her master's future was definitely bright!
....
In an unknown place.
In a snowy land, the sound of a child crying could be heard, but you couldn't see any child.
The only child in this scene was a little boy, farther away from the crying sound, sitting comfortably on a sofa, eating popcorn, and watching a frozen mammoth with interest.
At this moment,
A woman suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Oh, this is Big Sister's entrance!
Look at her!
So many special effects.
Dress and hair that keep changing color,
Starlight and sparkling things around her!
Such a show-off."
Said the little boy on the sofa.
And someone shouted from behind him,
"Now you call me a show-off!?
I beat you up, you little devil!"
And the sofa was kicked away by another lady.
The little boy, who wasn't on the sofa when it was kicked away, appeared in another place with his popcorn.
His mouth was wide open in shock.
The scene with the lady landing from the sky paused.
The lady who kicked the sofa snorted and said,
"What are you doing in my dream?"
And the little boy shouted,
"Your dream?
This is my dream!
I was here first!"
And the two turned silent.
The little boy was naturally Little Mortal,
Seeing a dream from his past when he met with Entertainment Goddess for the first time.
This was the day Ice God froze everything on this planet, and he was crying beside a frozen mammoth.
And the lady who kicked the sofa away was naturally Entertainment Goddess, who fainted, and was forced to dream about a certain boy who was responsible for her 'almost exploding' experience.
At this scene, the version of her in the dream was in her true form because when she arrived, she didn't see the newborn on this planet, and didn't change to her 'public appearance',
So Little Mortal coincidentally saw her true form in their first meeting.
"Oh, so we are seeing the same dream?
That's why both of us appeared here!"
Said Little Mortal, and then chuckled mockingly,
"Big Sister, don't you think it's embarrassing?
World Law is so stingy!
It saw us watching the same 'movie',
And it thought to itself,
'Why waste electricity? Let them both watch it together.'
But here is the question.
Why would I buy a TV if there is a cinema?
Huh?
Because I want to watch my movie alone!
Imagine the moment you want to watch a movie, in your home, comfortably,
But all of a sudden, everyone else who wants to see the same movie as you, and you yourself, are dragged to the same cinema.
And then someone from the government comes and says,
'Here you go,
Watch it together and don't waste electricity, dear citizens.'
Wouldn't you start the rebellion the next morning to overthrow that government?
Hmm?
Wouldn't you?"
Then he shouted excitedly,
"Big sister!
Let's start the rebellion against world law!
If it's the two of us, we can do it!"
The Entertainment Goddess, who wasn't sure at the beginning if she was seeing the real mortal or if he was just her imagination,
didn't even need to test him.
Just him talking nonsense was the best proof...
"Little mortal."
"Yes, big sister?"
"Where are you now?"
"In a secret mission."
"Where?"
"Not telling."
"..."
Entertainment Goddess took a deep breath.
"Alright, at least tell me if there is any danger where you are right now?"
Little Mortal nodded,
"Yes, there is great danger here that everyone's life is at risk."
Entertainment Goddess frowned,
"What danger?
Give me access to your child crystal, and I can send an avatar there."
Little Mortal snorted,
"Your avatar can't help.
The danger here is far greater than what you think."
After remembering those hundreds of level 7 creatures, Entertainment Goddess didn't doubt his words.
"What's the most dangerous thing over there?
Can you still hide from everything like always?"
Little Mortal shook his head with a grim face,
"I can't hide from the most dangerous entity here."
Entertainment Goddess was now worried,
"If you can't hide from the other party,
Then how is it that you are still fine?
You even have time to sleep there with it around!"
And Little Mortal chuckled,
"Big sister,
The most dangerous entity in this neighborhood is me!
That's why I can't hide from the danger.
How could anyone hide from themselves?"
Entertainment Goddess almost slapped him away!
"Mortal!"
"Yes, big sister?"
"Be serious!"
"Yes!"
"Now answer me properly.
Do you know about this 'secret organization'?"
Little Mortal nodded,
"Yeah, you can trust them.
My underlings are all its members."
Hearing him act as the organization boss already, Entertainment goddess couldn't help but rub her temples.
"Forget about that.
What did you do with those 'birthday gifts'?
Do you know what kind of mess you started here?
All those people who lost their birth treasures started digging the mainland the day you left!"
Little Mortal gasped,
"See!
What did I tell you before, big sister?
Those are the thieves that I was running away from after I came to the mainland!
Those savage, uncultured parasites were after me day and night!
Did you see the video evidence?
I was hiding from them in one hole after another,
Sweating profusely, crying day and night, asking for help!
But no!
Not a single person helped me.
Do you know why?
Well, I'll tell you myself,
Because all of them were thieves!
The only normal person was you,
But you were the cameraman!
No!
I mean camerawoman, yes,
You were the camerawoman!
Have you ever seen a movie where someone needs help, and the one behind the camera helps them?
No, right?
So I—"
"Enough!"
Entertainment Goddess felt that if she could record herself while having a conversation with this crazy brat, she would gain lots of law from her own emotions...
"Tell me about the newborns.
Do you want me to keep them in my universe?
I can have as many newborns as I want there."
Little Mortal shook his head,
"They are safe in my secret organization's territory."
Entertainment Goddess gritted her teeth,
"Right, 'your' secret organization...
At least tell me when you are done with your 'secret' mission?
And how are you going to come back?"
Little Mortal rubbed his chin,
"This place is moving too slowly.
So I should be back after a couple of hours on your side.
But don't worry,
Even if I'm late, I'll be back for your scene."
Entertainment Goddess was shocked now,
"You know about my contract?"
Little Mortal nodded.
"Can you tell me what it is?"
Little Mortal said with some doubts,
"It depends.
Either you show up,
Beat up the main villain,
And then 'The End.'
Or..."
Entertainment Goddess became curious,
"Or?"
But Little Mortal chuckled,
"Not telling!"
And Entertainment Goddess kicked him away for real this time.
Popcorn flew everywhere.
She knew they were in a dream, so he wouldn't be hurt.
After asking some more questions but getting more nonsense as answers, and beating him up some more, Entertainment Goddess got tired of him.
Well, at least she felt less stressed beating him up.
"Alright, let's just watch the dream.
I'm tired of you, little jester..."
Little Mortal ran back from where he was sent flying with a new popcorn in hand.
Two sofas appeared, and he jumped on one of them excitedly.
Big sister, while gritting her teeth, sat down too.
The dream, which was a memory from the past, resumed.
The younger Entertainment Goddess landed on the surface of the snowy planet and heard the crying sound.
But the crying suddenly stopped with her arrival.
She looked around and shouted,
"Who is crying here?
Don't be scared, I'm just here to talk."
And a sobbing voice sounded,
"There is nothing more left to kill, go away..."
Entertainment Goddess flinched,
"Where are you?
And I'm not here to kill anything.
I am Entertainment Goddess,
Killing isn't in my line of work."
The voice sounded again,
"What's your line of work then?
The ones before you only came here to kill my people."
Entertainment Goddess was slightly shocked,
"Your people?
Oh, right, you are from an incomplete universe...
That's why you think every creature is 'your people.'"
Then she said after a brief pause,
"Well, you probably don't know about your weaknesses.
But don't worry, this big sister can tell you about it.
Just show yourself and let me interview you,
And in return, I tell you about newborns and lots of other things.
Oh, I forgot to tell you,
I am working in the entertainment industry."
The little boy asked in puzzlement,
"What is an interview?
What is the entertainment industry?"
Entertainment Goddess looked at the 'universe size' and asked in puzzlement,
"Why are you asking these weird questions?
This universe is around 13 billion years old.
Don't tell me you never saw any advanced civilization in your universe?"
And the voice of the little invisible boy answered with resentment,
"I can't fly like you.
I was floating in space at first,
And after landing here, I have been here since then."
Entertainment Goddess was shocked,
"You were floating and then stuck here for close to 13 billion years?"
Then she asked in confusion,
"What do you mean you can't fly?"
The voice answered,
"I don't have any law."
Entertainment Goddess asked suspiciously,
"Then why are you invisible?
I can't feel you at all.
You surely have a law that made you invisible."
"This just happened recently, and I turned invisible all of a sudden..."
Entertainment Goddess chuckled,
"It's a law, I think.
A unique one, so you just need to figure out how to use it."
"Alright...
And How did you find my home?"
Entertainment Goddess showed him something without saying anything.
The familiar crystal appeared, and a scene from the Ice God channel started playing.
In the video clip, he was freezing a planet.
The voice gasped,
"He is one of the killers!"
Entertainment Goddess asked curiously,
"One of?
So there were more?
What's here for them to come after anyway?
I don't see anything valuable or dangerous!"
And the voice told her about the higher beings who came here and just killed the living creatures on the planet without reason, and then left without saying anything.
Entertainment Goddess was now sure about the source of the sadness she felt from the Ice God's video.
It was indeed this invisible boy, and the reason was clear.
While suspicious, she asked,
"But there is nothing special here...
Oh, wait, do you have a birth treasure?
Something like my crystal."
And the voice answered,
"I do... Not."
Entertainment Goddess nodded,
"You would die if you had.
I heard higher beings from an incomplete universe don't receive any birth treasure, or if they do, it's an evil birth treasure.
So you are lucky not to get one.
At first, I thought Ice God came here to find an evil birth treasure and destroy it, but it seems I was wrong... "
The voice asked,
"But how did you know I was on this planet?
No one else could find me before you."
Entertainment Goddess smiled and explained to him how her child crystal can record things,
And as the owner of the main crystal,
She could feel the emotions through them.
"So I felt pure sadness from this frozen planet that I was sure it was from another higher being.
With how higher beings are,
They never feel sad, except the ones from an incomplete universe.
But you were the first one to be 'recorded' by my child crystal.
And you made me experience 'sadness' for the first time.
So I came here to see the source personally and have a talk with you. "
And the two start a conversation.
After a while,
They became friendlier, and the voice even started calling Entertainment Goddess like everyone else.
Big sister.
Knowing how trustworthy these higher beings from the incomplete universe were, and them never doing anything evil, Entertainment Goddess even gave him her crystal,
"Here, take my crystal and look for yourself how mainland is, and how other higher beings are."
And as if grabbed by someone, the crystal starts floating.
Entertainment Goddess finally confirmed where the other party was, and how small he was when she saw someone invisible holding the crystal less than one meter above the ground.
"But I can't use it.
You said I need law to connect to it."
Said the voice.
Entertainment Goddess chuckled,
"You can talk to it.
My beloved crystal understands you."
And so, 100 years of watching 'content' began for the little 13-billion-year-old boy.
Little mortal on the sofa pointed at the scene,
"Look, big sister!
You brainwashed me here with your crystal!
It was at this point that I became its best friend!"
Entertainment Goddess knocked on his head,
"What do you mean by brainwashed you?
Everything I let my crystal show you was suitable for your age!"
Little mortal gasped,
"Big sister, I saw so much killing in your crystal that I wondered if I was a victim of being bullied,
Or the creatures being used and killed in those parasites' universe day and night are the real victims!?
It was then that I started planning for a 'multi-verse wide rescue mission'!
I watched all the amazing birth treasures,
Study them day and night, research their powers, and determine which one of them can be useful for years to come using your crystal!
And you are telling me what I saw was suitable?
Do you know how many higher beings I beat up and turned into my puppet army for my plans?
I am now completely on the 'dark path' with no way of return.
Now, I'm forced to go deeper and deeper into darkness, alone, but fearless!
Why, you ask!?
Just because you brainwashed me for 100 years with your crystal!
However, let me tell you, my plans are being implemented smoothly in secret.
As you saw, because I found all of those birth treasures useful in some way or another in my plans,
I even made a dangerous bet with the whole mainland!
And guess what?
While I lost a hand and a leg, I won the bet flawlessly!
I even started my secret organization, with members who don't know they are part of it.
Let me tell you, the other day-"
Entertainment Goddess who saw him telling imaginary stories and jumping up and down on the sofa excitedly, knocked his head to reset his brain back to factory settings.
"What dark path?
And when did you lose a hand and a leg?
From what I saw, you gathered those birthday gifts like walking in the park!
And what do you mean by a multi-verse rescue mission?
You are a multi-verse troublemaker!
Do you hear me!
You are making chaos everywhere you go, you brat! "
And she gave him another round of beating.
After a while,
Entertainment Goddess calmed down and said,
"It was better for you to know about the reality of how a real higher being should be to survive out there before coming to the mainland...
And let me tell you.
You were a lucky one, or you would end up in that shady newborns facility that was exposed recently..."
Little mortal snorted,
"But why are you like a civilized and cultured higher being then?"
Entertainment Goddess sighed,
"Do you think I wouldn't be like them if my law was different?
My starting point was with entertainment law, that's why I am who I am now.
We are higher beings, representing different laws.
If our law is ice, we will be emotionless.
If it's fire, we will be hot-tempered.
The same applies to other laws.
Each one affects who we become in the future. "
Little mortal nodded,
"You are right.
Starting point is important...
But,
When you are a grown-up, you can decide what to do and what not to do.
Alright?
After turning 18, there is no excuse for your actions.
Did my strongest law change me?
No, it didn't.
Or I would be out there bullying everyone right now!"
Entertainment Goddess didn't know what to say.
He started with a reasonable sentence and finished by boasting about his imaginary strongest law...
But she agreed with part of his view.
For any creature growing up in a civilization, at least semi-advanced, to recognize right from wrong wasn't that hard.
But what about those who are without any choice?
Then she remembered something and chuckled,
"I was wondering why I didn't recognize you after you came to the mainland the first time I saw you."
Little mortal snorted in dissatisfaction,
"Yeah, even my best friend, little Crystal, didn't recognize me.
Can you believe it?
We watched each other for 100 years!
And it didn't recognize me!"
Entertainment Goddess patted his head,
"You can't blame us for that.
Look, you were always invisible.
But because we were together with you for a long time, both of us forgot about the fact that we never saw you in your childhood ."
Little mortal sighed and nodded like an adult who didn't blame his juniors .
Even he, after being invisible for millions of years, felt that being invisible was normal.
The 100 years of watching content finally came to an end.
It was after watching the cruel act of higher beings to gather law in any way possible and manipulate all creatures in their universe, that Little Mortal started calling them parasites and lawsuckers.
In the new scene, Entertainment Goddess asked the invisible boy,
"Tell me, Little Mortal, now that you saw what kind of creatures we are, and what kind of place the mainland is, what kind of higher being do you want to become when you are reborn in the mainland?"
And the voice answered,
"I want to be ... Kind,
Kind to everyone who deserves it."
Big sister smiled and said,
"That won't be easy ... Especially for you as a newborn without a universe.
You can't risk your life like others who have a universe and are able to resurrect."
But the voice said firmly,
"I don't care!
I am fearless!
I will be the kindest.
One day you will see.
One day, everyone will see ..."
Big sister smiled in amusement and encouraged him,
"I believe in you.
I believe that one day, you will be what you want...
I believe that one day, you will do things that no one else can.
So, hold on to your beliefs, and strive for what you seek ... Little mortal ."
Little mortal on the sofa shouted excitedly,
"Look, big sister!
You actually predicted the future!
I am 'The One' now!"
Entertainment Goddess on the sofa was speechless.
She gritted her teeth and said,
"What do you mean you are 'The One'?
Where is the kind Mortal?
You are a troublemaker now who goes around and insults everybody!
You were on the mainland for how long?
Less than a month?
And you made chaos everywhere!
Yes!
You are doing things that no one else has done before you!
But it's called making trouble!"
That day, she didn't know why she asked such an impossible task of a little helpless boy who was a newborn, destined to be bullied.
But something told her that the impossible task of being 'kind' in the cruel world of the 'gods' can become reality if it's him ...
Entertainment Goddess sighed helplessly and muttered,
"But he turned out to be a troublemaker!
What was I even thinking that day?
Did I really cause all of this?
If I didn't let him watch my crystal for 100 years,
Would any of these have happened ?"
On the scene,
Hearing the encouraging words, the voice, as if puffed his chest, said confidently,
"Yes!
I may not have a good or happy start!
But that doesn't mean I can't have a happy ending!
I write the rest of the story of my life with my own hands!"
Big sister chuckled,
"I can't wait for that day to come.
However, remember that being kind isn't enough in our world.
If you need to make a meaningful change, you should be a monster.... A kind monster..."
The voice repeated to himself,
"A kind monster...."
And then shouted excitedly,
"Then I become the strongest, and kindest monster!"
But suddenly, his voice turned into a panicked one,
"Oh no!
Big sister, you should leave!
Now!"
Entertainment Goddess was taken aback.
What happened all of a sudden?
But the voice begged her to leave.
So she left before saying to him that she would be back to see him again.
Entertainment Goddess on the sofa asked,
"What happened that day, Little Mortal?"
And Little Mortal looked away,
"You predicted the future again.
I became the kindest monster."
Entertainment Goddess asked in frustration,
"I mean, why did you ask me to leave suddenly, 'kindest monster'!"
Little mortal raised his eyebrow,
"Oh, you mean that.
Not telling."
Entertainment Goddess chuckled,
"Well, I am here now, aren't I?
I can see it myself."
And watched the scene, which was still showing the place with the invisible mortal, and herself, who was flying away.
But nothing happened, even after she was completely gone.
The scene was just like that.
As if it were paused.
Only Little Mortal and Lubo knew what was happening at this time.
It was one of those days that Lubo was going to wake up and try its luck with Little Mortal.
If Entertainment Goddess were around, and Lubo saw her, it could devour her law on the spot.
But she, and the rest of the higher beings who came here, were lucky to come when Lubo was in deep slumber every time.
And after Little Mortal became the representative of dark law and turned invisible, Lubo couldn't feel the world outside anymore,
As if they were in another dimension or another realm.
It could only 'see' the world outside from Little Mortal's eyes,
Which was limited to the environment around him.
Under big sister's confused gaze,
The scene played in fast-forward.
The frozen world changed back to normal.
Different animals showed up, and so did the humans.
The part with the assassin god killing people was displayed, with the humans' fast development phase on the planet.
Entertainment Goddess, who saw the rampage of Assassin God, said hatefully,
"Just wait, the next time I see that sneaky guy,
I will kill him for you on the spot!"
Little Mortal shouted excitedly,
"Yes, yes!
Give him a lesson!
Big sister is invincible!"
Time passed.
At some point, in the modern world, humans started discovering many scientific facts and even figured out about the 'dark matter' and 'dark energy', which were both invisible to them.
However, they could indirectly prove the existence of both of them.
Dark energy was a mysterious force, driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, counteracting gravity.
And Dark matter was an invisible, non-luminous matter that exerts gravitational pull, holding galaxies together.
But neither could be seen nor interacted with.
It was after seeing this discovery that the voice of the invisible boy said excitedly,
"That's it!"
And a little boy with white mist covering him appeared!
"Ehhhh!?"
The Entertainment Goddess was stunned,
"That's what?
What did you understand?
What just happened?"
Little Mortal on the sofa said proudly,
"I figured out what my strongest law is on that day!"
Entertainment Goddess furrowed her brow,
"What is it then?"
Little Mortal smiled mysteriously,
"Can you feel it?"
Entertainment Goddess asked in confusion,
"Feel what?"
But Little Mortal asked another question,
"Can you touch it? Or interact with it?"
Entertainment Goddess was even more confused,
"Touch what?
Interact with what?"
Little mortal laughed,
"Exactly!
That's my strongest law and how it works!"
And Entertainment Goddess, who thought he was joking with her again, snapped and attacked him!
"I'll beat you up until you cry like the first time we met, you little clown!
And you even plucked a feather from my phoenix tail that I just remembered!"
In the middle of the beating, as if the 'cinema' became private,
Entertainment Goddess suddenly disappeared.
Little Mortal finally sighed in relief,
"Big sister is so scary when she gets angry...
And who ratted me out about that rude phoenix?
Oh, it should be that traitor crystal!
Well, let's watch the rest of the movie."
And he went back to his sofa with another bag of popcorn as though nothing had happened.
The scene continued.
The little boy with all the hatred in his heart towards the higher beings,
waited year after year, for his fellow living beings on this planet to study the nonexistent dark energy and dark matter,
which was something they knew should exist, but they couldn't really 'see' or 'interact' with.
But for him, their understanding was like a 'law class'.
He discovered that the so-called 'Dark world' that had chosen him to be the representative of the dark law was actually representing only one law: the 'dark law'.
Unlike the normal world, which was filled with various laws, this world was governed by a single law.
He learned that the Dark Law is a unique law that requires a basic understanding to begin absorbing it, which he gained from the discoveries of humans on the planet, which they called Planet Earth.
And it was at this point that he started getting older and older as he learned how to absorb the dark law,
And he became better and better at using this nonexistent law.
Entertainment Goddess once again came to meet him at this point in time and was surprised to see him for the first time.
But he was a young man already, which, even in this 'dream', only a back view of him was displayed all the time.
The young mortal accompanied his big sister around the planet and showed her the 'entertainment' that the humans here came up with.
He showed her lots of movies, concerts, music, various sports, and martial arts that he himself had learned, while she recorded everything with excitement.
Even though the entertainment industry could grow and develop in various ways across different parts of the multiverse, for Entertainment goddess, it was impossible to go and see them directly in other higher beings' universes.
Each universe was like a private place for Higher beings.
But here, a certain former Mortal was hosting her with open arms.
After a couple of years of recording everything she could, Entertainment Goddess left again and told him she would return in the future.
With her departure, the young mortal went back to absorbing his dark law and wandering around the planet.
For other higher beings, gathering law wasn't easy.
A universe was basically empty in their eyes, with some laws here and there.
Maybe 5% of the whole universe was made of different laws, and even less than that was the law they were born with.
That's why they needed to use other creatures to help them gather it.
But in the eyes of Mortal, close to 70% of his universe was dark law, and 25% dark matter.
He could just absorb as much as he wanted to, and there was no one who wanted a share of it.
That's why when Lubo went to its next slumber,
The little weak boy from the past had enough time to change completely.
And one day,
after reaching a certain threshold,
The young man suddenly disappeared once again, but this time he appeared in a dark world.
It was his first time being in a different place after turning invisible.
Under normal circumstances, he would only become an entity that others couldn't touch or feel in any way.
Only if he himself wanted to could others hear him or interact with him.
But this time, he entered a completely new 'world'.
Looking around, Mortal didn't see anything special.
It was only darkness.
But above his head, some phantom-like figures were flying, and all of them were moving in the same direction.
Not seeing anything else, he followed the phantoms that he coincidentally recognized some of them.
They were humans and animals from Earth, but in an illusory form, as if they were made of something colorless.
While curious as to why they were like this, and where this place even was, he reached the phantoms' destination.
A huge gate in a random location in this dark world, leading to an unknown destination.
Phantoms from all directions were coming and entering it.
Mortal watched the new phantoms that were going inside the gate from other directions, and not only did he not recognize any of them, but he was even sure these former creatures weren't even from his universe!
They were races that he had only seen some of in his big sister's crystal.
While wondering what this gate was, he started walking around it.
But to his surprise, all around it only led to the front door!
It didn't matter which direction; the entrance was always facing him, and probably facing all the phantoms too, which were coming from different directions at the same time.
What kind of door can face everyone at the same time? He wondered.
After a while, he decided to go in and take a look.
So he first turned invisible, because he was really confident in his invisibility, which even Entertainment Goddess couldn't detect, and then tried to enter.
But something struck him the moment he was going to step inside the door.
As if a finger flick hit his forehead, and at the same time, he received a message.
[Only souls of the dead can enter.]
And he was kicked out of the dark world.
While feeling dizzy, he understood what those phantoms were.
They were souls of those who died in their universe.
Where did the door lead to?
He didn't know.
That was a mystery.
When he came back to his senses, he was in the middle of nowhere.
And after a moment, the young Mortal gasped.
He figured out that he wasn't even in the same galaxy as before after looking at the flickering lights in different parts of space.
"So, through this dark world, I can travel to places far away so easily?"
After looking around for a while, he gasped in shock for the second time,
"Wait, I'm not even in my own universe?
Didn't Big Sister say that higher beings can only enter incomplete universes?
But I can feel it, this place seems to be 'complete'..."
The young Mortal, whose face was never shown,
disappeared and entered the dark world once more, went back to the gate, and waited to find a familiar 'soul of the dead'.
And after a while, he saw one.
This discovery made him sure that he could find his way back anytime he wanted,
And he only needs to go in the opposite direction of the group of souls that a familiar one is in.
But instead, he went in another direction, while muttering to himself,
"I need to test my dark law.
If it allows me to enter any universe,
or even any planet, while ignoring the world law, then I need to change my plans!
It gives me a lot of privilege when it comes to that Guardian law that I received a ticket from it!"
The scene changed.
Now the young Mortal was on the moon.
The same back view of him that many saw on the mainland when he told the conditions for his 'bet' to Entertainment Goddess was displayed.
But the blue planet in his view was still fine,
No mushroom cloud, no world-ending war, no nothing.
Everything was peaceful, at least from the moon.
The young Mortal muttered,
"I have already completely filled my body with dark law.
But I can tell, this body isn't compatible with my law at all.
As though I wasn't supposed to have such a law in this body...
But either way, what's the use of it?
A law that can't affect anything or anyone except me is basically useless.
I can't achieve anything like this,
And even I being able to enter any universe or planet is probably because my law can't harm anyone,
So, it doesn't matter to the 'dark world law' if I broke the law of his 'brother', the world law, by entering its territory...
With my current abilities, at most I can be a good thief, or a spy..."
The young mortal, with the strongest law, was speechless.
After a brief moment,
"I need a compatible body.
What is the best kind of body to contain dark law?
Surely, one made of 'dark matter'.
But with such a body,
wouldn't I become a creature completely invisible?
No one can interact with me, and I cannot interact with others.
The 'useless' effect is even worse that way.
I have many plans for those disgusting parasites, and I can't do such a stupid thing?
So I need a body that can interact with the 'world of matter', and at the same time contain as much dark energy as I want..."
And after a while,
"Oh, it's actually possible for me to have such a body.
Other Higher beings are born with a body that never changes,
but we, higher beings from an incomplete universe, have one chance to start anew."
Then his head turned towards the blue planet.
"Maybe this is fate?
Next time big sister comes here, I should ask her to take this planet away.
After that, I can start the first step of my plan."
Little Mortal, who was eagerly waiting to see what was going to happen next, suddenly saw three big words appear on the scene, and then the dream world shattered.
