Chapter 963 Chapter 963: Contemplation.
Chapter 963: Contemplation.
Listening to Hela's explanations about Vlad's soul and his future self, his mind processed this information for a few seconds.
'I see... So that's why Future Violet didn't stop Past Violet from informing me...' The puzzle to Victor's questions began to make sense now.
'As expected, at the moment I became a god, something happened... I became something more, something outside of creation, and time. I became 'unique', and because of that, my future self is protecting the records.'
'Wait... Record... The emphasis on the words Akashic Records...' Victor knew himself well; he would never emphasize something if he didn't consider it important.
'What are the Akashic Records? It's the record of EVERYTHING in creation. You could say that everything that has happened and will happen in the universe is in that place... Key words here being record of everything in creation...' Victor's mind began to work in Overdrive, his draconic brain processing the information from the ancient beings within him, and those he knew to give him an answer.
'I see... Now, I understand.' Victor opened his eyes in realization. 'The void in the abyss where various spheres could be seen were different realities, timelines, or even other dimensions in this universe... Everything is connected.'
For every different action, an alternative timeline of the opposite action will be created. For example, somewhere out there, there existed a timeline where Victor did not become the Vampire Progenitor, but the Progenitor of werewolves. In this alternative timeline, Leona was the one who won the race to catch him first, not Violet.
There might even be timelines where he did not become a vampire or werewolf, and simply died due to his Golden Blood.
And it doesn't end there; there might even be places where he is a woman. The possibilities were infinite, literally.
But even if they are other timelines, they still are part of the Akashic Records, part of the record of creation of each being. Now, when Victor became a god, something changed.
Victor suspects that this change occurred because of the nightmare form within him that is still growing; that thing made him a unique being in the future, and because of that, there are currently two Victors.
One is within the Akashic Records living the present of the main timeline, and the other has already lived the present and is outside the Akashic Record protecting his past self and his wives from the main timeline's external influences.
'Probably not only the main timelines, probably this whole universe too. Knowing myself, I wouldn't allow any outsider to enter my home.' Victor thought.
"Fuck, this is complicated, this is why one should not mess with time." Victor began to feel a headache.
Since he was human, Victor hated narratives involving time travel. The reason for this? It's because the plot holes are the size of a galaxy, and time travel tends to complicate something that doesn't need complexity.
Because of that, Victor hated time travel plots.
Take the current example; let's suppose he gets stronger, and in the future, he reaches the state of his other self who is protecting his wives.
What will happen to him? Will he acquire the consciousness of his other self? Or will he become the unique being? If the second option happens, he wouldn't be unique anymore, right? After all, two of them would exist.
See? This is why he didn't like time travel or any nonsense involving time; it tended to unnecessarily complicate everything.
'I'll just ignore this and continue my path.' Victor made a decision that was quite like him, after all, this problem is not something he can ponder or intervene in now. After all, he was still within the Akashic Records being protected by his other self. To try to understand his other self's mindset, he must continue his journey.
As a god who has reached the highest level of his sector, he would start to tamper with the system NOW. The Akashic Records were something he couldn't even comprehend now even after all this time of development.
Not to mention that Victor believes the Akashic Records are different from the System created by the primordials. The system is the way the primordials found to keep everything running, and the Akashic Records are simply the record of EVERYTHING that has happened or will happen in existence.
They are connected but are two completely different things.
If you look at all of creation as a giant computer, the Akashic Records would be the motherboard, the power source, and at the same time, the internal storage hard drive of the computer, while the System would be the processor that keeps everything running along with the primordials.
If something happens to the processor, nothing will happen to the Akashic Records; it simply needs to replace the processor part, and everything will work normally.
The system is replaceable, the Akashic Records are not.
The plot thickened, and probably the fourth wall was broken by his other self, all in the name of protecting his wives. Something he can completely respect, he will do anything for his wives, and just knowing that 'Outsiders' come to this place to go after his wives completely disgusts him and makes him utterly irritated.
[Attention. The authority of the individual <CHAOS> has been increased for understanding a part of creation, the Authority list is now available for observation. Do you wish to access the list?]
Victor narrowed his eyes when he heard the mechanical voice of the woman in his head, mentally saying 'Yes,' a change occurred in his vision, a list of names appeared.
His eyes immediately went to the top of the list showing the highest authorities of the System.
.
0 - <????>
1 - <Negativity>, <Positivity>
2 - <Infinity>
3 - <Death>
4 - <Life>
5 - <Soul>
6 - <Balance>
7 - <Light>
8 - <Darkness>
9 - <Emperor>
10 - <Law>
...
..
.
And many more. With just a glance, Victor could clearly understand that those at the top of the list are the primordials, with Balance probably being the last primordial who assumes the title of The Limbo Guy.
From Balance onwards were probably beings of higher levels.
'Where is my name?' Victor asked confusedly, he began to scroll down the list looking for <CHAOS>, but still didn't find it. Only when he entered the last tab of the list did he see his name.
969 - <CHAOS>
It's worth noting that he was very surprised to be in such a low position; it seems that his understanding of creation is not as high as he expected. He scrolled down the list even further and saw that the list ended at number 999 described as <Insect>.
'Probably, I only managed to enter the list because of this recent discovery, but why is it so low?' Victor shook his head in disdain and let it go; he didn't feel comfortable seeing his number so low; he was extremely competitive.
'Well, I just need to get stronger and have my name at the top.' He thought, laughing.
Little did he know that his sudden appearance on the rank shocked several powerful beings of the higher-level sector beings. When his name was announced to be part of the list, high-level beings immediately began searching for the individual, but no one found him.
Even Overlords were actively searching for the being who suddenly entered the rank, but no one found him, leading to a very sinister option.
This new name belonged to a being of lower levels than his, which clearly demonstrated the potential of this being.
The fact that an existence from lower sectors entered the rank and went STRAIGHT to rank 969 proves its potential.
Putting that aside for a moment, Victor wondered what 'authority' means. This word was often highlighted when he understood something about creation; he highly doubts that this authority means he can control the system. He knows very well that only the primordials can do that, and they are not foolish to give that control to anyone. This was an absolute certainty based on the little he observed of them.
Deciding it's worth a try, Victor said something: "System, what does authority mean?"
To him, he had said something completely normal in English, but to the people who heard his words, all they heard were strange sounds of a language they didn't understand at all. Even Hela herself, who was watching Victor from the side, didn't understand what he said.
Currently, Victor was sitting under a tree with Kaguya, Siena, Pepper, and Lacus. Hela was also here, but she was just observing from the side; all her attention was on the conclusion of the ongoing war.
[The individual <CHAOS> requested a search for knowledge... Analyzing... Sufficient authority. Response: Authority is the disposition and provision of answers given by the system to special beings who have understood creation.]
"How much authority a being has, can they use the system?"
[Administrative use of the entity <SYSTEM> is exclusive to numbers 0 – 6. Any being below that number has limited administrative use.]
'I see... As expected, the primordials are not fools... But this raises the question of the phrase "limited administrative use"... Does that mean as long as you have sufficient authority, you can make a request to the system, and that request may or may not be authorized by the primordials.'
Victor was beginning to understand what all this fuss about authority and authority lists was about. If this were a game, administrators would pay more attention to requests or consider demands from the higher-
ranked beings.
"What does limited administrative use mean? Can you give me an example?" Victor asked the question not expecting a response from the system, but he was surprised that the system did indeed respond.
[Accepted. Response: The domain region of a highly ranked authority being can be completely free from administrator intervention as long as balance is not threatened and the system functions properly.]
"… Oh…" Victor smiled. 'That's interesting, so as long as everything goes smoothly, they will ignore.'
