The cold was very intense. Kayden didn’t rember anything other than the cold, which enveloped him every mont, without stopping. The only thing that kept him "hot" was his will, sothing he couldn’t even formulate rationally.
Ti did not exist in this place. In the sa way that a trillion years could have passed, it could only have been a few seconds, as there was practically no ti stamp.
After who knows how long, Kayden was able to feel the first thing in his body, or rather, in his shape. He was sothing round and warm, without any other features. He had nothing more than that.
He had no matter. It was at the sa ti made up of sothing and, at the sa ti, of nothing. The truth was that Kayden couldn’t feel his soul, so he had this strange sensation in his body.
It was a never-ending battle between his hot body and the cold environnt. For so reason, his will didn’t waver. Regardless of the weather and how cold it was, it kept his body warm.
The more ti passed, the more Kayden learned, and the colder the cold beca. But it was a ridiculously low advance. At that mont, he was starting to rember the things in his mind: his life and everything that led him there.
With each passage of ti, he returned to his old self. His willpower surpassed the existence of his mories, but this was still a slow process. It would take a long ti for him to get it.

"Child, you are at a point where you shouldn’t be able to rise," Thoth appeared above Father. The two were on an isolated planet made of pure, formless divine mana.
Father was startled for the first ti in a long ti but relaxed after recognizing who it was. He had contact with Thoth and knew that he was one of the beings behind everything in this universe.
"I’m not able to utilize souls as energy yet." Thoth raised his eyebrows. This was quite different from what he was seeing on outlying planets.
"I just learned how to destroy them, and consequently, I’m decreasing the mana density in spaceti." This was almost as troubleso as learning to utilize the soul as energy.
It was a small difference, but it put Pai dozens of levels lower. A soul could give more energy than a planet, at least in hypothesis. Every soul that Father destroyed ended up returning to the universe in the form of energy.
"That won’t work." Father raised an eyebrow. It seed to be working for him.
"There are two primordial laws: the law of return and the law of the soul. You cannot nullify them. All of these souls will return as mana, and after a few trillion years, they will be condensed into souls again."
Thoth seed to possess infinite knowledge. Pai was fully convinced that discovering Kayden was not random, but rather a plan of the person in front of him. It was difficult to admit that one of the strongest beings in the universe was being manipulated.
"And why are we having this conversation, Lord Thoth? What is your request?" Father was able to recognize that the presence of this entity was both a threat and an invitation.
"Continue with what you’re doing. I’ll teach you how to consu space itself, but in exchange, I want you to put all that mana into a concentrated region. Not only that, I want you to start investing in the universe. high in mana will produce new geniuses. Create a universe conducive to their developnt."
Everything had a price. In this case, it was an extrely small price for Pai to pay. He would trade much more for the ability to convert space, a terrain virtually unknown to him at deep levels.
"Consider it done, sir Thoth."
*****************
"You are destroying the universe! It’s not just one territory, it’s countless lives and lands that will never co back into existence!" Father had managed to bring together most of the large groups in the universe on a single planet.
The universe was simply too big, and even asking only the strongest gods from each organization to co, it still brought together a few million people, a completely gigantic number.
Most had lost at least so territories or planets to Father’s hunger. Everyone knew what was happening. The war of the gods greatly reduced the numbers of gods, but once it beca clear that Father had managed to advance...
Author’s note: I know I promised to pay for the chapters, but once again my life has been turned upside down and I apologize for that.
Everything was over. The side that opposed Pai’s advance returned to their territories and ard themselves to the teeth, elevating several people to the divine level through techniques that should not exist in the universe. If faith moves mountains, fear moves constellations. Everyone feared Father’s possible reprisals, but in the end, he did nothing. Not even his allies received his congratulations; only a few powerful figures were given so information.
" Idai ?" Father looked tiredly at the side where those words were coming from. One of their oaths was that no one would be killed in that place and would be free for the next few centuries. "The universe is a jungle where the strongest prevail, and I am stronger than them."
Pai’s phrase was cruel, but it made clear one of the most basic laws of all living beings: only the strong command; the weak must hope to stay out of sight.
"I’m going to get straight to the point. I’m going to consu most of the universe..." Father couldn’t finish speaking, as several voices were raised against him. Maybe a little show of strength was missing.
"Blasphemy!"
"What about our territories?"
"And my people?"
Father looked at the infinite mass of gods in front of him and just smiled. All the mana he was storing within his body was released, burying 99% of all the gods in that place. Only the old monsters still had full combat capabilities under this pressure.
"I don’t think I was clear enough. I’m communicating what I’m going to do, and if there’s one more bout of disrespect, I’ll break my promise," Father laughed. "I’m strong enough to deal with the consequences."
