Demon Lord's Reincarnation

"You're asking me to do something for you and that's it, you also get to decide when I leave?" The ORIGIN's avatar spoke while smiling.

"Are you asking me to give you something? What can I give the creator of everything, what do I have that you could possibly want?"

"O' child do you not understand what I want? My only interest now is you, and since our agreement is that I don't observe the HQ of your so-called Rebellion, I can observe you up close for as long as I want."

"What's so interesting in observing me now? I'm not even doing anything."

"You still, don't understand your worth to me. Hmm, let's see how can I make you understand... Oh, how about this, to me you and everyone in all the universes were nothing more than characters in a book I wrote. Since I was the one who wrote the book I knew every single thing that you would do. Then suddenly one of the characters did something that was different from what I had written.

What do you think I felt when I saw that? Not only were you able to change your own story but you were able to change everyone else's story."

Erste listened to what the ORIGIN said and found some interesting things were said. Based on what the other party said he not only went beyond the story that was written for him, but he was able to affect other people's stories.

'Well, that's interesting.'

"So are you telling me that you could not interfere with those I had contact with?"

"In a way yes, just like I could not interfere with you like the others. As long as they are in contact with you they disappear from the flow of fate, and then fate changes drastically. The longer they're in contact with you the more chaotic the changes in their story become. Still, once they separate from you their fates stabilize and they once again flow back into the flow of fate."

"Since we're still talking and I understand you a bit better now, I want to ask for another favor."

"Hehehe, another favor is it? You just keep on asking for things like a spoiled child."

"Hmph, if you don't want to do the favor you don't need to do it."

"Fine then, let's hear what kind of favor are you asking."

"I want to get some of your authority over life and souls."

"If that's the favor unfortunately I cannot give it to you with the same reason as to why I can't appear before you with my real body."

"I see... How about if I ask for a little bit of control."

"Well, if it's just a little bit then you're body should be able to handle it, but what's the fun in giving it to you? Something like the authority over life and souls could be easily gained by yourself since you can manipulate the power from the void."

"You're saying that you won't give me anything and I should get it for myself."

"That's it, what's the point of gaining power that you didn't earn? Surely you of all people would understand that. In the normal timeline, you had quite a few endings, but most of them were because of battle. In all those timelines you have gained strength with your own power you never asked for it."

"You know I think that I hate you."

"Well I, on the other hand, love you."

Erste did not respond and instead stretched out his hand and the kingdom of Death was distorting. An orb then appeared in Erste's hands and the innumerable souls that live in the Kingdom of Death flew into the orb in Erste's hands.

The orb was a kind of portable universe that Erste created using the power from the void. This orb was now the new Kingdom of Death, Erste planned to house all the dead souls here for now. Unlike Ractopictan's Kingdom of Death which had nothing in it, Erste's new Kingdom of Death was created to have objects that the deceased had when they were alive.

It was like each soul had its own personal piece of land.

Erste could not help but smile that he had succeeded in what he wanted to do with his first try. Since he was not able to get what he needed this orb should be a good temporary home for the souls he had. Erste then made a small hole in space and threw the orb into the hole. He had placed the hole in a personal pocket dimension which he also created using the power from the void.

'This power is very convenient.' Now that he was done with what he needed to do Erste once again spoke the ORIGIN.

"Alright, we have talked so much but you haven't said what you want so that you can leave me alone."

"I already told you I want nothing from you, I just want to observe you, do not worry you won't be able to see or sense me."

"..."

Erste gritted his teeth, he really didn't like talking to the ORIGIN. It was weird since he was usually in control of his emotions, and even if he hated the other party he should be able to hold himself back.

Yet every second he spent talking to the ORIGIN he felt even more frustrated than before. He wanted to refute some of the ORIGIN's words but there was no falsehood in what he said, he wanted to scold the ORIGIN about his actions, but what can you say to the creator himself to make him back down?

"Fine, then I guess I'm going to ignore you now." Erste opened a portal to the designated meeting point.

"Then as long as it's not to the HQ of the rebellion I'm going to follow." The avatar of the ORIGIN disappeared from sight and even Erste could not sense the other party. Erste knew that no matter what he did he would not be able to do anything to the ORIGIN with his current strength.
