Lord Shadow

Chapter 1254 - The Truth Behind The Incarnation



Even though the Creator said to treat him like Arial and he did try to treat him like Arial it is clear that as he knows more about the Creator it is harder for him to treat the Creator like Arial

As for what the Creator is trying to say to him, he also understood. Probably because the Creator also knew of his future.

In his future, he is to destroy the Universe and probably the entire creation. Azief had been thinking about it since he saw the future.

And he had some hypothesis of how he became like that. Since then he had been preparing. He only need a few more confirmation. 

He close his eyes and then opening it back he said

'I think I understand why you are telling me all of this'

The Creator look at Azief, smiles and nodded

'It is great you understand' Azief was stunned for a second. He had expected that the Creator would ask what he had understand

The Creator did not behave in a way that Azief thought he would and Azief is reminded again, there is probably nothing in this Universe that the Creator doesn't know. 

Azief paused for a second and he closes his eyes and take a deep breath. The Creator look at Azief and his smile become wider.

Arial opens his eyes and then ask the Creator. 

'Did you know that this would happen? That I would understand?'

The Creator nodded and then he said with a knowing smile

'Now, wouldn't you agree that the process also important? Would you accept it if I act first without you going through this process? Wouldn't you misunderstand me?'

'The process is sometimes more important, huh?' Azief mutters and he chuckles bitterly. He understands a bit of what the Creator is talking about.

And what the Creator meant when he said for him to think about it. The Creator wanted to help him.

But if he does want to help him, he would have acted long ago. But the Creator did not act. So, why?

That was the question that Azief thought when the Creator ask him to think a bit before making any wishes. 

And after thinking about it, Azief understood what wish he should make and when to make it. The Creator seems to know all of his life experiences. 

And thus, it makes senses that the Creator also knew his ultimate fate.

Azief had a theory of how he became the thing that he became in the future. 

But hearing the implied words from the Creator make him a bit more certain of why he would change in the future

And so, he knows what wish to make. And when to make it. His eyes in that moment was cold and calculated.

Because he now felt what is threatening him. Azief enemies is numerous. But none of them brings him fear 

But when he finally realized his true enemy was…. he could not help but felt cold all over. He did not even want to spoke the name of this enemy for fear of alerting it. 

His enemy is destiny and fate itself. 

And there is nothing more illusory and more formidable than these two illusory concepts. 

Even though Azief could perceive destiny and fate, he could not control it. Even he could be swept by its tide. 

'Wait' he thought to himself

'Wait until the moment is right' he mutters to himself. The Creator heard that and he just smiles. 

For a moment there is silence between them. Only the sound of the wind could be heard. And every few seconds, there is the chirping sound of a bird. 

'So, what now?' Azief suddenly ask breaking the silence. He looks at the Creator. Actually he did not know how to react.

After all, it is not like he came here voluntarily. He was suddenly brought here. But there is cause and effect to all of this. 

If he did not want to see the cause and effects of his past, how could the Seresian uses him to get to the Creator?

There is cause and effect in these small choices. However, the Creator has finished speaking. And he already made clear of what he wanted to express and convey to him. 

So, Azief could not help but ask what next? Is there something else? Azief sighed. If he could leave this area, he would have already left. 

But he doesn't even know where this is.

Is this place an illusion? A closed dimension? A created world? One of the multiverse? Another Universe in a different space time? Thought Consciousness Domain? 

A dream made real?

Azief knows that there are many methods to reproduce the scene that he is looking at right now. 

But he doesn't know which one because he could not sense it. 

His Divine Sense is blocked and there is nothing he could do.

He doesn't even know where he is. 

So, he could only wait for the Creator to send him back.

The Creator did not answer immediately. 

Instead, he looks in the distance. Azief look at where the Creator is looking. And the Creator seems to be looking at the setting sun

And the Creator mumble something but Azief could not hear it. And, there is another silence between them

And then after a few second, the Creator said. 

'Hmm. You would be mad if I sent you back to the Seresian world right? After all, it is very rude of me, old friend'

Azief seems to cringe at hearing the Creator calling him a friend. He sighed and look at the Creator and then he said what he has been thinking all along

  'Even though, you told me you think of you as Arial, I really couldn't think of you like that. I understand it in my mind. You are the Creator and you are also Arial' 

'If I guess right, Arial won the Final battle. And then he became your incarnation. So, he has two memories. The memories of him as Arial, the mortal being and the memory of being the Creator during the first creation of existence from the Void of Nothingness' Azief then look at the Creator trying to seek affirmation

The Creator shakes his head and then said

'You are accurate for most part. Only there is a small mistake'

Azief did not say anything and so the Creator said

'Arial, I mean me, did not immediately become my incarnation. Like you surmised, Arial won the final battle. And so, he is qualified to be my incarnation. His body and mind were ready. But, he refuses'

Hmm?

'Don't be so surprised'

'Arial knew that even if I take over, it is not like he would lose his memories and his feelings. That is now how it works. I don't possess bodies and mind. I could…. but that is not my style. It is not in my nature to destroy something.'

'Then why did he not accept you?'

The Creator smiles and then said

'He had some unfinished business with an Elven' and the Creator smiles.

'It wasn't until all the people he loved had died, that he finally accepts his responsibility' 

'Was it long?'

'A thousand years give or take' Then the Creator added 

'A short blip of time'

There is another silence and then the Creator said

'As for the other things you said, it is much of the same. He inherits my memories and my feelings and my desire and I inherit his. We are One and the Same. We are affected by each other and affecting each other. His Karma became my Karma. His bond became my bond. His cause and effect became my cause and effect'

Azief frowned for a moment. Then he said

'It seems that it is a lot more trouble than it benefits you' Azief said

'If you could create anything, you could obviously create an avatar or a body. Since you could create all lives and the father of creation couldn't you just conjure up a body for you to incarnate to?'

Then Azief spoke again

'If its experience you seek, using Divine Sense couldn't you just experience their life?' Then he added 

'Couldn't you just merge with the world and feel the emotions of these people? I could do that. And if I could do that, then you surely could do it too and probably you would do it even better than me'

The Creator smiles and nodded

'Well, you were not wrong. But as always, there is always something lacking in your truth' Azief frowned deeper 

'What do you mean?'

The Creator sighed and then said

'There is a reason why I love life like a son. Why I love you. Why I love all of my creation. People always said that I love all my creations equally. That is not entirely true. Maybe, it is true, for My Lord but not for me. Some creation that I created, I love them a bit more than some others. Of course, I treated them all equally. That is not something that I compromise on.' Then he paused for a second
