Darius Supreme

Chapter 543 - 543



Darius' attention was stolen by a section of this astral room that was set up like some livestreamers den. There were a total of 16 screens stacked hexadecimally, all displaying different things. They all seemed to display various scenes, but only for a few seconds at most, before the content seemed to change to a different channel. 

The wide table was chock full of various accessory devices from amibos to consoles, to even board games. There were controllers of all types as well placed there, increasing the sheer mess. 

Before the table was a large chair that looked like something a top-level CEO would sit in… if they were the size of the Kingpin from the Spiderman comics. The astral room was lit up by an unknown source of light that made things visible, but that corner of the room was purposefully left dark, the light from the screens acting as the only source of illumination. 

Soon, the chair swiveled around and a form came into view. When Darius inspected the person there, he had to admit, nothing was like what he had expected given what he had known. 

The one before him, with a very slight stoop, was the physical manifestation of a nerdy gamer chick. 

She had a messy brown sweater that exposed her shoulders that was partially tucked in her thigh-length booty shorts. Coupled with her thigh-high socks – no shoes – and round-rimmed glasses, she hit the look off well. 

The girl - or should that be woman? - had short auburn hair that was furled around her scalp in a mess, with piercing hazel eyes that were similar to Darius' own. 

She had a cute heart-shaped face which did not fit with her well-endowed body for her height that was around 5'5 at best. 

What was most unsettling however, was that she radiated an aura of… otherworldliness. Darius could feel it, a part of him just knew that if this being ever died or decided to stop supporting his existence, he would become nothing and simply cease to exist. 

It was as if a computer or any home appliance had gained sentience and discovered the power cable. 

The girl had a lazy look on her face with purple bags around her eyes suggesting she hadn't slept in days... or perhaps in the case of a Goddess it might have been eons. She gazed at Darius without actually registering who he was. 

"Erm, which sub-universe are you from? What's your world number?" She asked in a slow drawl, a voice that was not exactly annoying, but not very attractive for a girl either. 

Darius shook his head. "Nobody ever told me my sub-universe, nor my world number, but I do have the name. I'm from Faust, the world you created to generate a Supreme." 

"Right, right, Faust. Faust? Did I ever create a Faust? Man, that name sucks. Why would I do that? Oh right, I have bad naming sense. Dammit." She muttered to herself, completely losing interest in Darius. 

Darius remained silent until she eventually snapped to. "Erm, sorry. Hey, wait a minute, you look familiar!" 

She then paused and tapped her head. "No rather than familiar, you look important. Significant. Like you're someone I should know, you know what I mean?" 

Darius smiled softly but he did not respond. He was currently in turmoil within, his every expectation for the almighty Goddess was turning on its head, completely obliterated, not even leaving ashes behind. 

For the first time in a long time, Darius was at a loss for words. 

"Anyway, I'm Vena, Goddess of Games and Recreation. I'm the creator of our fourth universe and its ruler." 

"Whenever any entity within my worlds acquires any special token or power that allows them to meet me, I'm obligated to share the truth of their existence." Vena said slowly, clapping her hands as a screen manifested before Darius. 

"First things first, as the 'fourth universe' suggests there are other universes out there… ones that are equally as large and unique as ours." Vena began in a lazy tone 

"They number five to be precise. The fifth one is still in infancy however. Nevertheless, any drastic actions taken by the Gods of any of the five universes have an equal and opposite reaction that affects more than their universe." 

"Each universe has a God who has a specific attribute granted to him by our father. I will now list the universe, the names of their Gods, and their attributes." 

"The first universe is called Homados. It's the embryonic form of every universe that came after since we all based our designs on that one. Its resident God is my eldest brother Caelo, God of Destruction who shares his universe with his counterpart Caela, Goddess of Creation." 

"The second universe is called Gaea. It's a lovely universe of magic and purity that is managed by my older sister, Myra the Goddess of Life. She is a chipper one, who eventually fell in love with a mortal named Luka and shared her power with him, so now they both overlook it." 

"The third universe is called Infinitus. It's a strange universe that is a mixture of digital and real, as the Gods there had merged two such worlds together. The resident deities are the Abyssmal Prime Draco and his counterpart the Celestial Prime Eva." 

"The fourth universe is called Metis. That's ours, anyway, and it's pretty standard. There's only me here, the Goddess of Games and Recreation." 

"The fifth universe is unnamed as it's still developing, and its deity has not been born. As far as I can tell, it seems to want to follow the footsteps of the third universe and wait for a mortal to grow into Godhood." 

Vena paused here for a while and then continued. "Now, each of these five is mutually exclusive, experiencing their own multiverse, timeline, and developments. In other words, we are not directly connected to each other nor are we like mirages of each other." 

"Each universe is its entire separate thing, I need to stress that again. Now about you. You are a being from one of the many multiverses that inhabit my universe. Maybe a slightly different Earth, or a unique type of Andromeda. Whatever the case, you came into existence, lived your life, before ending up in Faust and now you're here." 

Vena then clapped her hands and the screen disappeared. She shrugged lazily. 

"There's a lot more I can explain, but I don't really see why I should. Anyway, what exactly was your purpose for coming here again?"
