Chapter 2211: Absolute God. "We were correct, the Anomaly is indeed from another Universe and his control over his Universe is... stronger than the control we have over our Universe." Light spoke in a solemn tone and the instant the other three Infinities heard those words, the air in the room changed. "Are you saying..." Eternity asked carefully, his voice now much, much heavier than before. Even Darkness did not say anything sarcastic this time, listening to Seraphielle’s words seriously. And Seraphielle, she nodded again— "He might be his Universe’s Child and... its God." The Final Stage of every being that walks on the Path of Cultivation—no, it wasn’t Infinity. There were a total of four Infinities in their Universe, five if they included the Crimson-Eyed Infinity who had once protected the Anomaly. A stage that was shared by five independent, different beings. How could it be called the Final Stage? How could it... have the title of the Strongest? That title could only be given to a stage that couldn’t be shared. A stage that... only one being had access to. A Stage beyond Infinity, a Stage in front of whom even the Infinities are... mere entities who could only tremble and kneel. That is the final stage of Cultivation. The Stage where the entire Universe calls you a God. An Absolute Entity with Absolute Control over the entire Universe—that is the final stage of Cultivation. The Realm all four Infinities present here were chasing. The Realm all four Infinities present here were willing to risk their lives for if it meant they could get the chance to reach that realm. The Realm all four Infinities present here had been planning, scheming, and preparing for— The Realm where one becomes the Absolute God. And now... Seraphielle was saying... that the enemy they were facing... was an Absolute God of another Universe...? If that was indeed the truth then... "Does it mean... we cannot win...?" Darkness muttered, his voice dropping low as he thought about the possibility of going against an Absolute God. In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall Zylarith and their final battle against him. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 Zylarith Chaosveil... the man who was closest to becoming the Absolute God. The man who had made a mess out of the entire Universe, turning it upside down. The man who went against four Infinities at the same time and killed one of them. A man who... even after trillions of years have passed, none of them had forgotten. And now he was being told that someone who had achieved what a being like Zylarith couldn’t was now coming at them— How were they... supposed to win...? Darkness couldn’t think of a way. They had barely won their battle against Zylarith. How were they supposed to face an enemy stronger than Zylarith when they themselves... had gotten... weaker? Darkness thought inwardly as he glanced at Eternity. In the battle against Zylarith, Eternity wasn’t... Eternity. The Infinity of Eternity was... the current Eternity’s mother, the True Eternity. And... a being far stronger than the current Eternity. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that she was the reason they managed to stop Zylarith in the first place. And now when she wasn’t here... If even Zylarith returned, Darkness wasn’t sure they could stop him—let alone an enemy who was... stronger than him. Of course, it wasn’t just Darkness who was thinking all this. The other Infinities were the same; this was also the reason every single one of them was staring at the current Eternity. And Eternity—he could also sense their gaze and knew exactly what they were thinking. "Stop purposefully looking at things from a single perspective." Eternity spoke, his voice still as calm as before even though he knew he was being compared to his mother. After all, it wasn’t just the other Infinities who were comparing him with her; he too was the same. But his comparison was much more thorough, much more... logical. He didn’t just compare the difference in strength—he already knew that his mother was indeed stronger than him. She had existed for a long time; she was the True Progenitor of Eternity, a being who experienced and made sense out of most of existence all on her own. As for him... his perspective was... limited. Sure, he was far more advanced than others, even when he was compared to his siblings, the difference was so massive that none of his siblings ever came close to him. This was the reason he was chosen to inherit his mother’s position without even a voice of resistance. But... as excellent as he was... when compared to his mother, he was still... nothing. After all, most of his perspective regarding the Universe was built through his mother’s teaching. While her path was branched—where she had explored every single possibility herself before moving further—his path was... straight, guided by his mother. And even if he wanted to trace back and explore the branches his mother once had, it simply wasn’t the same. Eternity knew that he would never reach the potential his mother had reached, not unless he became the Absolute God and inherited her memories. But... That wasn’t it. It wasn’t just about strength and potential alone. Eternity knew he couldn’t be compared to his mother and at the same time, he also knew he would never do what his mother did. Just the very idea of sacrificing himself to "save the Universe" from Zylarith was... something he would never agree to. If he needed to sacrifice himself, then the Universe could perish for all he cared. He would never become a martyr or a messiah who had no regard for his life; he would rather destroy the Universe itself—and who knows, in the Universe’s destruction... he might find knowledge that even his mother did not know of. Yes, Eternity was prepared for it—to see the very end. Therefore, he knew that if the situation with Zylarith repeated, the other three Infinities could not rely on him. But... This situation was not the same. Or at the very least, that is what he had inferred from all the information they had till now. And it wasn’t just him; he knew the other three had thought about all this as well— "Even if the enemy is the Absolute God of his Universe, his Authority does not extend to us. He might have the power to create or destroy anything in his Universe with just his thoughts alone, but that will not work in our Universe. So the Anomaly isn’t necessarily stronger than all of us. If he was, he would have come down there on his own and fought against us in a direct battle; he wouldn’t have to rely on such baseless tricks." Eternity spoke and the rest of the Infinities nodded at those words. They had all thought of it as well; this was the reason they were all so calm and still having a light discussion without even waking up their original bodies in the first place. But of course, this didn’t mean that they weren’t paranoid. These were trillions-of-years-old beings being mentioned here. Three of them had existed since the beginning of the Universe itself. Every single one of them was paranoid. "He is a being who took over his Universe. You think just anyone can do that? If it were that easy, I would have done it already." Darkness snorted, dismissing Eternity’s overly positive words. "We do not know which Universe he comes from. Who knows? His Universe might be weaker than ours. It is not like we have established that all Universes are as strong as ours." Eternity answered and he wasn’t done just yet. "And even if his Universe was as strong as ours, think it through. Go back to the time when all of you were facing Zylarith—what if... Zylarith had won?" Eternity asked. "What if Zylarith had defeated every single one of you and won? Would you have gone down without putting up a fight? Would you have let him have what none of you could?" He asked more questions and this time, Darkness didn’t answer. After all, he knew his answer wasn’t in his favor—with his personality... "No, you would have destroyed every single thing you could have destroyed before perishing yourself." Eternity answered, saying exactly what Darkness was thinking. "The moment you realized you were losing, you would have turned against the very Universe itself, devouring and erasing every single thing you could find. You would have initiated a mass destruction—a destruction so big that the Universe itself would have weakened. You would have done all this just so the one who defeated you wouldn’t enjoy the power he would earn once the Universe was under his control. Do you think... others are any different from you?" Eternity asked again, his tone becoming sharper. "Even if the Anomaly won the battle of his own Universe, you think his Universe would still be in the shape it once was...?"
