"That’s an interesting story you have come up with. Getting rid of me with these false accusations as you strengthen yourself using the death and destruction all this would cause, How easy would it be for the strengthened you to take on the remaining two, who are already weakened due to our battle and a broken balance. I didn’t expect someone like you to come up with a scheme like this, I can see why the Universe would choose you, You hid yourself well, Darkness." The Entity of Light spoke in a calm voice, instantly redirecting all the blame onto Malice. "Heh, you don’t really think they will believe your ridiculous assumptions, do you?" Malice laughed condescendingly. The Entity of Light, on the other hand, stayed silent. It already knew the effect its words had. Malice, the Entity of Darkness, then turned towards Eternity and Balance and, "You two, we need to get rid of him before he gets strong enough to destroy us." Darkness was raring to go. After all, it had never liked Light in the first place. The two of them were destined enemies, and now that the Universe had chosen Light, Darkness had the perfect excuse to get rid of it. But… "…" "…" Balance and Eternity stayed silent. And Darkness, who sensed this silence, realized what was happening. "You… You two believe Light…" "We have no reason to believe any of you." Eternity answered honestly. "What…?" "We cannot afford to make a mistake here. We will only act once we are absolutely sure." Balance nodded as well. "Have you two lost your minds? We need to act with haste and get rid of Light. We cannot let Light grow!" "…" "…" Again, Eternity and Balance stayed silent, and this time, Darkness didn’t push forward either. It couldn’t be too desperate, else it would only attract more suspicion. Not to mention, Balance and Eternity were correct—they couldn’t trust it unless proven otherwise. Not just Light, it could be Eternity or Balance too. And if it was one of them, then getting rid of Light, even if it is its destined enemy, would be bad. Every single entity present here has been alive for a long, long time. They knew all sorts of tricks, manipulations, and deceptions. If one of them was lying, there was no way to know for sure. Once again, the Universe was playing the same game. Using the Four of them to do what it wanted them to do. Now, the four of them would continuously suspect each other, giving the Universe’s chosen time to hide and grow. "…" "…" "…" "…" In the end, the entire room turned silent as the four entities stared at each other. "There is no point in any more conversations." In the end, Eternity shook its head. It already knew this was going to happen. It just hoped… it did not. "Can’t you use your Law to see who amongst us is the Universe’s Chosen?" Darkness suggested. "And burn my True Essence? Again?" Suddenly, Eternity’s tone shifted. The incomprehensible light that couldn’t be understood suddenly materialized into an extremely handsome man with features so sharp that even the most loyal woman would fall for him if he wanted to. Right now, however, the man looked… displeased. "First, it was my Mother, who sacrificed herself to stop Chaosveil before it became too fast, and now you want me to do the same thing again? And for what? For you three to once again take advantage of my weakened world like you did after my mother died? Do not think for a second that we have forgotten what you did. Our people and my World still haven’t recovered from everything you did." "…" "…" Balance and Light were silent at those words. But Darkness… The Entity of Malice flickered, taking a human-like shape, becoming something Nux would recognize very quickly. Yes, it was the same entity that broke the Necrocore and destroyed Umbrasol. Darkness then glanced at Eternity and smirked, "The aggression you show is quite uncharacteristic. It is almost as if you are trying to give yourself away. What is it, Eternity? Are you… the Universe’s Chosen?" Eternity, however, simply narrowed his eyes and, "If I was, you wouldn’t be alive." "Oh?" Darkness raised his eyebrows, his grin widening even further. "I didn’t know you hated me. I spared your lives, didn’t I?" "As if you were strong enough to kill me." Eternity snorted. "Oh? You have gotten much bolder, haven’t you, child? You weren’t like this when you had to hand over your greatest invention to me. I miss that adorable child you were back then." "Heh." At that provocation, Eternity just laughed. "Just as one would expect from someone like you, to think you still believe it was our greatest invention even after millions of years have passed." "What…?" Darkness narrowed his eyes, and this time, Eternity’s grin widened. "Have you still not put it together? Did you truly believe what we gave you that day was our greatest invention? It was just something we created to fool you. How else do you think your creators were able to recreate our technology within five hundred thousand years? As if you people are that capable. Even a fifty-thousand-year-old child from my World is better than your greatest inventor." "You…" "Ah, this brings back memories. I miss that foolish brute you were back then. Oh wait, You still are the same." Eternity laughed. "You…" "What? Are you going to attack me?" Eternity smiled. "Don’t think this would end the same way as it did back then. I am not the same as I was back then." "We will find that out soon enough." Darkness stepped forward, the malicious energy surrounding his body growing stronger and stronger. Eternity didn’t back down either, but before things could go even further, "Stop." Light called out. What once was just a calming energy bound together suddenly turned into a woman so beautiful that no words could correctly describe her beauty. "We do not know who the Chosen is, but we will be giving him what he wants if we face each other. Calm down."
