That whole explanation was a bit hard to follow, but everyone got the gist of it. It was hard to say if the enemy ca from another tiline or if universes were like bubbles that existed close to each other, but it was clear that they ca from outside that universe.
"Upon arriving in the second universe, I had to discard my old body and my current power, but my potential only increased when I found a new one. My knowledge increased as well when I began to shallow stars, and then I started to beco stronger faster than before. Still, that wasn't fast enough, so I made my powers influence other species and made them attack other worlds, forcing the system to awaken on them as well. The system only erges in places where mana exists, after all."
"You… don't tell that you made out Earth be attacked because of that?" Julian asked while clenching his fists.
"Yes, I did, and you should be thankful for it. Under normal circumstances, it would take decades for your planet to join the system, and when that happens, it wouldn't be too late. The reason for that is the fact when things happen. Naturally, the system focuses on the survival of the fittest, and that was why so many people were stronger than despite my trait. However, due to my intervention, you had the chance to face weaker faces that you had more chances to win and get stronger."
Julian clenched his teeth. That was supposed to be a joke… so many people died, and they had to be thankful because it could have been worse? That was sickening… and yet, all of them could easily imagine that.
"I t your species on the third universe that I visited, and I noticed that you had so similarities with my species. You haven't developed so traits, but you have the potential to do so. That was why after eting your planet, I gathered so souls to work for and help them develop other traits, and then I discovered that among them, one had the sa trait as … the trait of pure envy."
Jake glared at the enemy, feeling like splitting him in two with his bare hands… still, he finally could understand where the enemy was coming from. They were the sa… that was why Jake developed that trait… deep down, he always knew. During his whole lives, he envied others more than anything else.
He wished for a normal family and envied those who had it. He wished to change the past and envied those who never thought of that. He wished for a normal na and envied those who had it. He wished for friends and envied those who took them for granted… his life was filled with the most disgusting sin…
When Jake tried to help the humans in his previous life, was out of envy for the guild masters, he wanted to be like them… to be looked upon and be praised. He tried to co up with a better solution than them, but when he wasn't accepted, he decided to antagonize them and prove that he was better and that he was right…
He wasn't much different than the enemy that killed him, and Jake hated that… he truly felt disgusted by it… the enemy still tried to save his species, but in the end, he tasted the sa betrayal again and again. No wonder he waited so much for Jake to reach the sa destination as him…
"Surrender now, and I will grant you all the life that you have never dread of, you all you will beco part of and beco far greater than you are. I will reach the heights beyond the hunters, and you will achieve the sa since you will beco part of . Give up on your individuality to reach your true potential. You should be the first to take the first step, king Judas. You reached the apex of your species, but what for? For whom? With all of your strength, you lost to instantly. What do you hope to accomplish for this ti? Beco a part of and reach beyond the boundaries of your physical form…"
"... What are you?" Karina asked. "Who are you aside from the biggest parasite that has even existed?"
"I am , nothing else… I am the greatest that will ever exist, that is all."
It seed that the enemy had also given up on the concept of na… the first humans were hunter-gatherers. Once farming beca possible, you had more fixed roles in a larger community of people. So, you had to co up with a way to distinguish individuals. That's when they started to assign nas. Maybe the sa thing happened in other worlds… nas were just a thod to differentiate people from each other, and the enemy didn't need that since he was planning to beco the greatest living being… for soone who had attained the highest level of envy, he sure was sure of himself.
"Jake?" Louise asked when she saw him taking a few steps forward.
"You couldn't have believed in those words of that guy… could you?" Lana asked. "You can be insane and stupid at tis, but you can't be both at the sa ti."
"... There is sothing that I don't get it," Jake said. "Why do those things affect our abilities so much that they co from conceptual traits?"
"The answer is simple when you don't control your magic power. It is shaped by your mories and feelings. Let that happen for many years, and then you develop a trait… the strongest traits co from those who had truly turning points in their lives. The power to drain mana from the surroundings and from those around only erged on her when she tried with all her might to find strength outside her. The power to reflect all sorts of attacks appeared on him when he tried to fight back the things that were unavoidable. As for the power of absolute envy…"
