Chapter 5: Ambition and the World Voice
After the creation of the universe, Aeon realized that the newly formed world required a system to maintain stability and provide guidance to the beings within it. He proposed an idea to his siblings.
---
In the boundless void, Aeon spoke with a soft yet authoritative voice. "We need a system that can regulate the laws of this universe and serve as a guide for all the beings that live within it. Iris, I want you to become the core of this system."
Iris, seated gracefully upon a throne of pure energy, smiled gently. "Fufufu~ Darling, you want me to be the guardian of the world? Of course, I will do it gladly. But how can I remain with you all if I have to oversee everything?"
Aeon answered calmly, "I will create a clone of you. This clone will serve as an extension of you, regulating the world's voice and ensuring the laws are maintained. The clone's personality will focus more on logic, but it will still carry your essence."
Iris narrowed her eyes, feeling flattered. "Fufufu~ I don't mind, Darling. My clone will be perfect, just like me. And of course, I still wish to spend time with you all."
---
Amidst the silence of the newly created universe, the atmosphere around Aeon and Iris was filled with pure, limitless energy. The world was still very young, like fertile soil ready to be planted. Aeon stood tall in an empty space, surrounded by rapidly swirling energy, as if the universe itself had just been created and was still finding its shape.
On the other side, Iris sat gracefully, her eyes closed, her aura radiating power yet softness. Around her, sparkling lights of energy swirled, forming patterns only understood by those with extraordinary power.
Aeon looked at Iris with a caring gaze. "Are you ready?" His voice reverberated through the dimension, but to Iris, it sounded like a gentle whisper that made the entire space feel more alive.
Iris slowly opened her eyes, emitting a light like a falling star. "Of course, Darling. This world needs a voice, so every part of the universe can connect."
Aeon nodded, feeling the heavy responsibility in his heart. "We will create a system to govern this entire world. A voice that connects everything—guiding, regulating, and leading the inhabitants of this world. A voice that will flow not only through living beings but through space and time itself."
Iris stood gracefully, the energy around her moving faster. "I will become the core of the world's voice. I will be the first to hear everything and translate the will of the universe into a voice that can be understood."
---
With a raised hand, Iris concentrated the energy of the entire universe into her body. The swirling energy around her accelerated, creating a powerful gravitational field. Iris began to whisper gently, words flowing from her lips like an ancient song never before heard.
At the same time, Aeon stepped forward, extending his hands to direct an even greater flow of energy. "I will create the foundation, arranging layers of energy that will form the foundation of the world's voice. This energy will guide, uniting everything in this world."
From Aeon's body, waves of unseen energy radiated, merging with Iris's soft voice. With a gentle movement of his hand, Aeon directed these waves to form a field connecting the existing dimensions, creating an invisible yet powerful network that would become the channel for the world's voice.
Iris, now the center of all energy, emitted golden rays that radiated outward, permeating the universe. The voice that emanated from her lips grew louder, more tangible, as though space and time itself were speaking. "With this voice, everything will be connected. Every particle, every living being, every dimension... will understand one another."
Iris's voice developed into a stable yet immensely powerful tone. Each word she spoke sounded like an unbreakable law, yet it also carried a softness that made it feel like a gentle breeze.
---
After all of this, Aeon extended his hand, creating a circle of energy that enveloped Iris. From her body, a shadow began to form. The clone bore an identical face, yet its aura felt colder and more mechanical.
"Welcome, World's Voice System," Aeon said quietly.
The clone of Iris bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Creator. I am the manifestation of Iris, and I will be the guiding system for this world."
Yahweh looked at the clone with great curiosity. "How will you work?"
The clone of Iris answered in a calm, authoritative voice, though slightly monotone. "I will manage the laws of nature, provide guidance to the beings that meet the criteria, and maintain the stability of this world. However, as a clone, I remain subservient to Iris as my core."
Irene, usually full of energy, exclaimed in awe, "This is amazing, Nee-san! You're like the queen of the world now!"
Ophis, standing beside Iris, nodded slowly, holding Iris's original hand. "Nee-chan... stay with us, okay?"
Iris gently patted Ophis's head. "Fufufu~ Of course, Ophis-chan. My clone will work, but I'll remain here with you."
---
After the world's voice system began to function, Aeon decided to bestow new powers upon his siblings. A power that reflected the essence of each of them. With Iris's help, he gathered primordial energy to create "Origin Skills."
Aeon stood before them all, radiating a golden aura. "My dear siblings, I will grant each of you an origin skill that reflects your attributes. This power is a manifestation of your deepest essence."
Aeon approached Iris first, giving her a glowing orb.
Iris smiled, looking at her hand as the new energy flowed through her. "Fufufu~ This suits me perfectly, Darling. With this, I can make the world even more beautiful."
Aeon then turned to Ophis, who gazed at him with curious eyes, and gave her the same gift.
Ophis nodded slowly, then tilted her head. "I like it, Nii-chan. Thank you."
Next was Irene. Aeon looked at his energetic sister with a gentle smile.
Irene exclaimed excitedly, her red hair waving in the air. "This is amazing, Nii-chan! I can't wait to try it out!"
Finally, Aeon turned his attention to Yahweh.
Yahweh smiled faintly, feeling the weight of responsibility. "Thank you, Nii-san. I will use this wisely."
Iris, God of Knowledge
Yahweh, God of Creation
Ouroboros, God of Infinity
Orpheus, God of Dreams
(Note: I will provide a separate description of their skills as it would take up too much space here. Also, their skills are named after them since in this universe, only they exist. "Orpheus" will be Irene's alternate name, similar to how Ophis is also known as Ouroboros.)

After receiving their new powers, Aeon looked at his siblings with pride. "With this, we all have a greater role in maintaining the balance of this world. Remember, these powers are not just for us, but to preserve our creations."
Irene clenched her fists, her eyes shining with excitement. "I can't wait to use my new power!"
Iris smiled softly, watching her clone work tirelessly. "Fufufu~ This world will be a beautiful and orderly place."
Yahweh nodded in agreement. "I will continue to improve and enrich this universe."
Ophis, though silent, hugged Aeon tightly. "Nii-chan... I'm happy."
Aeon: "Yeah... I don't really care if they want to kill other beings as long as they're happy."

In the endless night of their newly created universe, Aeon stood at the peak of a crystal tower emitting a gentle light. The empty wind blew around him, carrying a deep sense of solitude. Within his soul, he was connected to Iris, who was resting but still radiating her usual graceful aura.
"Iria, can you hear me?" Aeon's voice was calm yet filled with determination in their mental communication.
Iris, sitting in a garden she had created in her personal dimension, replied softly, "Fufufu~ Of course, my dear. What's on your mind? You rarely call me like this."
Aeon stared blankly into the void before him. "I want to talk about something I've never shared before. About the ambition that's been embedded in me since I first awakened."
Iris, with curiosity, leaned back on her dimensional chair, playing with a stem of light flower in her hand. "Fufufu~ Go on, darling. I'm intrigued by what's on your mind."
---
Aeon took a deep breath, allowing his thoughts to return to the first moment he awoke in the void. "When I first emerged, I was certain that the void was limitless, that I was the only one in control of everything."
He clenched his fist, his eyes glowing with deep golden light. "But as I explored further, I discovered something that shook my belief. The emptiness I thought was boundless was merely a tiny bubble. Beyond this bubble, there were other bubbles, each containing a different universe."
Iris raised an eyebrow, her gentle smile never fading. "Ah, so you discovered the truth about other existences outside of us. That's fascinating, my dear. What made you remember this now?"
Aeon continued, his voice more determined. "These bubbles are beneath something greater, something called the Root. I don't know if it's a being, a law, or a higher existence. But I realized that we, in this universe, are different. Our realm has detached from the grip of the Root. We are a self-contained universe, free from any external influence. And that is our greatest power."
Iris closed her eyes for a moment, processing the information. "Fufufu~ So, that's why you want to make our world stronger. You want to ensure that we don't just survive but dominate everything."
Aeon nodded, though he knew Iris could only sense his intent. "I want this world to be the strongest, Iris. I want to conquer the multiverse, to conquer every bubble beneath the Root. If we don't, something from beyond may come to destroy us. I can't allow that to happen."
Iris smiled faintly, her eyes glowing with pride. "Fufufu~ That's very much like you, my dear. You want to ensure we don't just survive but also dominate. But, isn't that too dangerous? The realms out there must possess powers we don't yet understand."
Aeon closed his eyes, his voice soft yet firm. "Nothing is dangerous if we are strong enough. I've created the World's Voice System to ensure the laws of our realm cannot be disrupted. You, Iris, are the core of this system. With our growing power, we won't just survive; we will conquer."
Iris sighed lightly, her eyes glowing with soft determination. "Fufufu~ If that is your wish, then whatever it takes, I will support you, darling. But remember, this world is also home to Ophis, Irene, and Yahweh. Don't let your ambition destroy their balance."
Aeon smiled faintly. "I will never forget that. You are the family I have built, and I won't let anyone harm you. But I won't let us grow weak either. This world will be the center of the Multiverse, with me standing at the highest throne, above everything else. And one day, the Root itself will be you, my Manas."
---
In the silence that followed their conversation, Aeon gazed deeply into the void. Within his eyes, an ambition as boundless as the void itself shone, like a flame that would never extinguish. He knew the path ahead would be filled with challenges, but with his family by his side, he believed that nothing was impossible.
And in the distance, the bubbles of other universes continued to float, unaware that a great power had risen, ready to conquer it all.
