Demon Lord's Reincarnation

In the void where there was supposed to be nothing but now Erste had created many things. He has no idea how many years had passed, but in this void that used to have nothing, there was a small world.

'I wonder what's happening to the war now. Does time even exist in this place? It has been a long time since I came here but the one who brought me here hasn't shown himself.'

Erste began his routine of trying to strengthen his control over the void. In this area of his, he was the master of the world, he was practically a true god in his area.

"I have created the elements that were similar to the ones outside of the void, and now I don't need to surround my body with spiritual energy to survive. Still, how much longer are you going to make me stay here?"

Erste would sometimes talk out loud like this in hopes that the ORIGIN would respond, but despite how much time had passed there was never an answer.

'Hmph, since you don't want to answer and not give me a way out then I will create my own way out even if I need to break through here by force.'

Erste started training and his focus was on understanding the power of the void. He needed to understand it better so that he could break out of this place. So to do that, Erste decided to remove everything he created and once again delved into the darkness when he first arrived.

...

In total darkness, Erste accepted the void into him. In this place where the concepts of time and space don't seem to exist, it sometimes made him unsure if he too did not exist. Erste continued training like this until finally, he was able to understand the void a bit better.

The void was very similar to humanity in that at first, it has nothing but that doesn't mean it will always have nothing. The power of creation and the power of destruction born from the void were the core concepts within the void and those two concepts created the ORIGIN or so Erste thinks.

'The power of creation and destruction all stem from the void. The power of creation can create such concepts as time and space, while the power of destruction can create concepts like change and chaos...'

As Erste understood more and more about the void he no longer needed to create light to be able to see as his senses were becoming in tune with the environment he was in. It was at this moment that he reached a certain level he finally understood something and started laughing.

"Hahahaha!!! The f*ck it turns out the person I'm looking for was here the whole time literally looking down on me in the palm of his hands. Isn't that right ORIGIN did you enjoy watching me struggle for so long?!"

...

The scene stopped there as the original incarnation showed a serious expression which he rarely showed to anyone.

"The next scene is when the ORIGIN showed me a tiny portion of his true form. This might affect the weaker reincarnations, and even the stronger ones might have their minds affected. I will of course try my best to dilute the presence of the ORIGIN to the best I could, but even then you guys might immediately disappear if you're not able to handle his presence.

So I suggest those weaker reincarnations better enter a different space and I'll call you back once the conversation with the ORIGIN is over."

"You're joking, right? You do understand though all of us may have different experiences, goals, abilities, and some differences in personalities, but the core of us is the same as you. We will never back down from a fight even if death is the consequence." One of those so called weak reincarnations spoke up.

"Yeah, didn't all of us die in battle, none of us truly got that happy ending we wanted. Do you think someone with our personalities like ours will back down from such a challenge? Of course not! If we did something like that could we have been called warriors!"

"That's right, I've never seen a reincarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul back down before."

Hearing the response of his reincarnations a bright smile appeared on the original incarnation's face.

"Hehe, as expected of my reincarnations none of you are cowards. Since you guys have the chance to survive this ordeal and improve I'll allow it."

After the original incarnation agreed to the demands of his reincarnations he did his best to lower the effects of the ORIGIN's presence as the next scene played.

...

That's right the thing Erste was currently standing on was the palm of the ORIGIN a palm that doesn't seem to have an end as if it was infinite. An eye-like thing appeared within the darkness Erste was unsure if it was near or so far that he could not comprehend the distance.

Despite not knowing the accurate size of that eye, Erste felt that just that eye alone was bigger than even the mother of all dragons who was the size of several galaxies.

Erste who had improved greatly in using the power of the void felt an overwhelming power attacking both his physical and spiritual body, even his mental state was under heavy pressure. It seems just staying within the presence of the true body of the ORIGIN was a great ordeal.

If he had seen the body of the ORIGIN back when he first noticed the ORIGIN, Erste would have probably exploded and not even a speck of his soul would've remained.

...

The people watching the scene of a single eye of the ORIGIN appearing despite the original incarnation weakening its effect greatly, many of the reincarnations are having difficulty simply raising their heads to watch.

Still, despite their situation, they did not give up they did not back down as a vicious smile appeared on every reincarnation's face.

"HAHAHA!!! So this is the kind of monster we're trying to face!"

"Now this is a worthy opponent to bet my entire existence on!"

"Things are finally getting interesting again."

The battle spirit of every reincarnation began to increase as they struggled to fight the powerful pressure a memory of the true body of the ORIGIN brought them.
