Ren who was panting heavily felt a stinging pain in his right hand, that one clash almost exhausted him. It was at this point Ren actually felt anxious again, which confused him.
'Huh, what the f*ck is this?! What is this irritating feeling?'
As his anxiety grew so did Ren's confusion as a person who rarely ever feels even the slightest bit of anxiety, this new emotion was very weird to him. Still, despite the confusion, anxiety, and exhaustion, as always Ren stood up with that vicious smile on his face.
"My silly son, if you could no longer hold on why don't we just end this game? I really don't understand why you're struggling so hard."
"... I don't know what you're planning, but the original continues to fight you to this day, there should be a reason."
"That's just you my silly son being a little naughty. I simply want to reset the entire multiverse I created. This multiverse is already far from the wish I wanted to create, it is a mistake I wish to clear, but do not worry my son only you are worthy enough to be able to survive the reset."
Ren was speechless, even though the original never told him what the ORIGIN who became crazed was planning he already had a few guesses, but it turns out the truth was far worse than he thought.
"I see, I now understand why he would fight you to the end. No matter the incarnation we will fight to the very end!"
The vicious smile on Ren's face grew the same as his battle intent. When the ORIGIN heard Ren's reply there was a change in his aura, and the space near him started to distort.
"Even now you cannot understand me, even now you oppose me! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! Why won't you understand me, you my son who has the power to stand beside me, why can't you see what I see?! I have seen all the endings of each universe no matter if I intervene or not the end result is always destruction. The cause of the destruction of each universe is because of my very own creations. If the end result is destruction then should you not all embrace it and allow me to remake it all? I will recreate the multiverse into a perfect paradise."
"Heh, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The ORIGIN simply looked at Ren who continued to laugh wildly. Ren stopped laughing and stared at the ORIGIN with a more firm look.
"So with your Omniscience, you saw the endings of all? Hmph, you can't even see through my own future how can you say for sure that the ending will always be destruction? How can you be so certain that you can remake everything into a paradise, haven't you already failed once?... Well, it doesn't really matter if you can do it or not, unlike you, I don't plan on abandoning everything here. This place is where I and all of my past incarnations fought and died, this is the place where all our memories live on. If the entire multiverse is to be destroyed then I will fight to the end, as I did before, and will do so in the future."
The ORIGIN shook its head and the distortions around it were growing, Ren could now feel the ORIGIN's anger.
"You still don't understand! My Omniscience might not work on you or the people around you, but it works on everything else. Even with your power, you cannot change the inevitable outcome of destruction. So I'm telling you nay I'm ordering you to come to my side and we shall build my eternal kingdom together."
"You really have gone completely mad, haven't you? Well, since you keep on calling me your son I guess it's my duty to fix your crooked thoughts." Ren once again got into a fighting stance.
"Fix my crooked thoughts?" The moment the ORIGIN spoke the ground started shaking and the surrounding was breaking. "It is you who have crooked thoughts. You think that because I favor you, I won't harm you?"
Something suddenly hit Ren, he was not able to perceive the incoming strike even though he already predicted the ORIGIN would attack. Ren's entire left arm disappeared, he didn't even have enough time to be surprised when he instinctively dodged to the side. Even though he moved fast enough, his right hand had disappeared.
Another attack was coming but unlike before Ren was finally able to perceive the attack and evade it properly. It was then out of nowhere hundreds of similar attacks came toward Ren, but now that he could perceive the movement he was able to somehow dodge all the attacks. Ren needed to be cautious as he continued to evade, as even the slightest touch would destroy a part of his body.
Ren who got into the rhythm of things came rushing forward towards the ORIGIN while dodging. Ren knew that passively evading would lead nowhere, and even though he knew that his attack won't even touch the ORIGIN he continued onward.
As Ren was running through the battlefield, various memories flash in his mind. The adventures he had, the pain and joy he experienced, the women he loved, the children he had, the friends he lost, everything went by as if he could see his entire life flash through his very eyes.
'It really was a great life.' Ren thought as his vicious smile softened a bit.
Ren who was getting closer to the ORIGIN roared and burst out with all of his power. The shadow beneath his feet expanded and numerous weapons came flying out and rained down on the ORIGIN. The various weapons that came falling down at the ORIGIN disappeared the moment they got within a meter of the ORIGIN. No matter the origin of the weapon, or the special effect it had nothing was able to get within a meter of the ORIGIN.
After releasing the barrage of weapons, the attacks on Ren stopped so he was able to continue running toward the ORIGIN without obstructions. Ren who was now two meters away from the ORIGIN gathered all of his power onto his legs and jumped upward. Ren did a dive kick and crashed into the ORIGIN.
The ORIGIN who had never moved the entire fight actually raised its hand and pointed its finger at Ren's leg. The ORIGIN's finger and Ren's foot collided a burst of white light enveloped the two sides. Once the light disappeared Ren had now fallen onto the ground, and he no longer had legs.
"You see the current you have no chance of winning, so instead of struggling so horribly, join me. If you join me, even though I do not want to, I can resurrect your dead companions they can join you in the new multiverse."
"I will not join you." Ren who had lost all his limbs still had that vicious smile on his face as he answered.
"... My child if you don't join me willingly I'll just destroy your body and imprison your soul. I have eternity on my side If I wait long enough at some point you will change your mind."
"Hmph, even if you imprison and torture me for eternity I will never change my mind. For as long as you are the person who destroys this place where all my memories reside, then you will forever be my opponent."
The ORIGIN no longer spoke and touched Ren's body, a simple touch was enough for Ren's entire body to turn into ashes. As Ren's body was becoming ashes, the last thing that disappeared was his mouth which remained smiling until the very end.
