"Cavendish is a bug."
I wasn't praising or belittling him. I was simply stating that the existence named Cavendish was an error of the "world".
With my understanding of the natural laws of Order, of the four elements that created the world, only time and space were the most Order powers. They were the X and Y axes of the world, the coordinates of the entire world.
And, these two powers would forever stand at the very bottom of the natural laws of Order.
That's right, the very bottom. They were the cornerstone that created everything. Many dimensional existences used the relative stability of time and space as their foundation. The power of time and space was the cornerstone, as well as the peak and source.
The two major elements corresponding to Chaos were the soul and life … but I won't talk about them for now.
When time and space were combined together, they formed the power of space and time. And, the most amazing application of the power of space and time wasn't the high-level ability to stop time, nor was it the mysterious and unfathomable spatial teleportation. Rather, it was the incomprehensible and abnormal "true prophecy".
Unlike ordinary prophecies, this wasn't something that could be controlled by the river of fate, nor was it some random prophecy. Rather, it was the use of the power of space and time to create a data model of reality, and then extrapolate it, extending the "X" and "Y" axes to obtain new coordinates and what the future would look like.
For example, an existence with such an ability would be able to view the world as if it were an anime. She would only need to drag the progress bar, and the data would be decoded into an image, allowing her to directly see the plot.
This kind of ability was clearly beyond the comprehension of mortals. It was just like how the 2D world could not understand the 3D world. How could the "person in the video" have the authority to pull the progress bar? This kind of GM-like ability could only be held by the GM of this world.
Astrya, the Goddess of Order, was the only existence who had this authority.
And, this authority obviously had a weakness.
When this woman felt that the video's plot wasn't as she wanted, she personally changed the plot. This meant that she had given up her identity as a "3-D existence" and entered the 2-D world. In that case, she naturally lost the authority to continue dragging the progress bar.
And, her very existence and all her actions had already changed the plot's development, causing everything to go out of control.
She only had one chance to change the plot, so she naturally had to grasp the critical point.
"Cavendish is a bug. Cavendish shouldn't have existed in this world."
The Abyss Prince, Fate's Child, was Cynthia's most precious illegitimate child. He was the crystallization of the power of the Chaos Abyss, and was a key character in her victory in the Holy War.
In the original storyline … in the "video" that Astrya watched, the Chaos Abyss Prince named Roland obtained knowledge from another world and became the "main character" of this world. Roland's fate was so rough that it could be written into a twenty-million-word novel … To omit the entire story, Roland was heartbroken by the Holy Church, which represented human society. Roland finally lost his last bit of faith in humanity and entered the Chaos Abyss in despair.
When he led the demon army back to the human world, it would also be the time when humans completely lost their dominance.
Such a key character was an opportunity to change everything. Astrya unhesitatingly used the same trick again. Her remnant soul entered the pregnant Roland's mother's body and quietly waited for Roland to be born.
Unfortunately, the previous Chaos Abyss Prince's "betrayal" had led to the birth of the Holy Light and the Holy Church. Cynthia, who had suffered at the hands of the Chaos Abyss, also entered the will of the Chaos Abyss into Roland's mother's body. She prepared to personally guide the Chaos Abyss Prince's growth and personally shape his worldview.
The two thieves reached their hands into each other's pockets … Cough, I meant that the two sisters were so happy to meet that their brains almost spilled out.
In the end, their argument was just like in a fairy tale where two mothers fought over the ownership of a child. They each pulled on the child's arm, and the real mother could only helplessly let go after hearing the child's screams of pain … But, the Chaos Abyss Prince who knew right from wrong would never have thought of the possibility that neither mother was the real mother!
"Such a tragedy (Teacher Yi's accent)"
The pitiful child was directly torn in half by the two stepmothers before he was even born.
While the mother was still pregnant, one soul was forcefully split into two. The physical body also changed, and the only child became twins. However, having an insufficient soul was the cruelest of all innate deficiencies. Children who "lost their souls" would either be idiots or mentally handicapped. If the two stepmothers didn't want to obtain two mentally handicapped children who were completely useless, the two stepmothers had to do something.
What could they do? They were two souls.
That's right, just as everyone could see, the two sisters made the exact same choice. They used their own souls to make up for the incomplete souls, just like how a mother would use breast milk to feed a newborn. However, they did even worse. They basically used their own flesh and blood to make up for the newborn's insufficiency.
The two "mothers" were connected to the newborn, becoming a part of them.
The two newborns were also quite "fortunate" to have some of the Chaos Goddesses' traits. I would be inclined towards Order, while he would be inclined towards Chaos. This wasn't a coincidence, but rather a necessity.
The end result was an interesting hypothesis. It was similar to that famous wooden boat that had its parts changed countless times. When one person's "parts" were replaced one by one, creating two "soul-stitched demons", would the two people that were finally pieced together still be independent individuals?
Actually, nobody should have known the answer to this question, nor would it have any practical meaning. However, due to some unexpected circumstances, the answer was given beforehand.
I had died.
The Abyss Prince was also a living creature. He was also a part of the Cycle of Reincarnation. However, he didn't have any special ability to surpass the Cycle of Reincarnation. However, I was able to survive in the Cycle of Reincarnation and swim in the River Styx.
The reason? It wasn't simply because of Astrya's existence. Even if Astrya was able to protect herself in the River Styx, she wouldn't be able to protect the mortal part of her soul. As a remnant soul, she could only move her mouth.
"The River Styx is unable to devour me because … I'm still alive."
That's right, this world still treated Cavendish and Roland as the same person. Only a part of "Roland" had fallen into the River Styx. Roland hadn't died yet, so he hadn't transformed into an undead yet. His soul was still complete, and the River Styx was unable to enter him. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to return to the Cycle of Reincarnation.
The reason for this bug? It was likely directly related to the Chaos Goddesses' GM powers.
This was the unimaginable truth of the existence known as "Undying Roland" and the undying nature of his existence.
[Has Cavendish ever died before? Perhaps only he knows. But since he knows the truth behind undying nature, he should have died before. He's an Abyss Prince who isn't afraid of death or failure. It's no wonder that he grew up so quickly.]
Astrya understood this better than anyone else. However, she never told me the truth. In fact, it was the opposite. She even actively tried to make me think about the unique nature of a transmigrator's soul. Actually, if I thought about it more carefully, wouldn't transmigrators still have to go to Hell if they stayed in their own world? There wouldn't be any difference.
As for the reason why she never told me the truth …
"You're afraid that if the situation becomes bad for me, I'll choose to die together with you in order to stop Cavendish?"
[Wouldn't you?]
After thinking about it, I answered her in an abnormally honest manner.
"Yes, I would. As long as I can stop Cavendish from opening the dimensional door, I'll use all my resources and use all my methods. Since we have such a connection, I'll naturally use it. "
Astrya had seen through me and lied. Cavendish had also seen through me and told the truth. That was why he successfully convinced Eliza to stop me, because Eliza had also seen through me.
"This is truly … so subtle that it makes me feel rather annoyed."
Currently, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at my "younger sister" and sensed her familiar soul wavelengths.
Fortunately, the current situation was within my expectations. Cavendish wasn't undefeatable.
Perhaps I wouldn't even need to use that technique to stop Cavendish.
"There's a magic sword that can destroy all souls …"
