Chapter 276

Title: The Absolute

—

It's been a long time since I took over Plane-3548, aka earth.

That day, when I first met the Apostle Apolium, the battle ended with the Apostle fleeing through the portal. That makes it clear, I have raw strength that rolls it by a huge margin, but I have no technique, which means outside of this Star System, I am as good as dying against people of his level. 

However, even though he escaped, he was forced to sacrifice some of his subordinates at the back, which he did by ordering them to buy time.

That's acceptable to me. I only killed them using my new strength, while leaving two of them alive for interrogation.

From them, I learned how to draw strength from 'The Root'.

Part of me honestly believed that I would not be able to use Root's power because I was an outer being. But then again, don't parasites live by eating their host? The host also had no direct way to stop the Parasite. Although comparing the Universe to the human body is not entirely intelligent, it is a truth that they have some similarities.

After all, my next action would be to build up an army of galaxies, while gathering as much information as possible about the universe.

I don't have time to waste. I know that the Apostle must have reinforcements. I doubt that the 12-God only has 12 Apostles. The woman said she was in charge of the 'Galaxy-468' which means there were at least 468 more people in the same rank as her.

I must prepare if he will attack me again, with the help of someone as strong as him. And I have to do it quickly.

The woman called me "King". Out of his two subordinates, I learned that the "King" was only the strongest person in the Star System. People with a strong enough connection to The Root can read something called “Record” from certain places. 

From what I understand, this is a 'Note' of general information, such as how many people are in this place, what the name is, and a few other things. One could even see records of past events and future events. Although the future is very vague and rarely accurate, unless one has a very deep connection with its roots.

The woman had used the technique in this Solar System by utilizing her connections with The Root. That is how the Apostle can decipher my name and also the fact that I am the strongest in this Solar System with just a single glance.

That's good news. That meant I had no challenges in the Solar System that I had to worry about, so I started conquering all 48 planets in my Solar System. However, only 16 of those planets are inhabited. So it doesn't take much time to take over them all.

It was clear that I was not in a playful position, so when Ussop tried to start a rebel on earth, I immediately killed him, while also making a good example of him.

Zoro is dead too. Raki killed him, who after I gave him his [Sword Mastery] and Mihawk through Paw-Paw fruit.

At the same time, as the invisible aura barrier around our solar system is now gone, space pirates from the outside start attacking this place, in hopes of looting us. Even though it was only their fault, as they had only become training puppets and pockets of valuable information.

Some of them are stronger than Sins, but that's why I'm here.

Meanwhile, I spent my time training, trying to connect with The Root. Others could easily do it, Raki, Wyper, and even someone like Aisa. But I'm the real geni... Wait, is genius the right word?

…Yeah, I'm basically cheating, so maybe not.

Due to the World Core, I was able to connect and even draw strength from Root not long after I was shown a demonstration by the Dictated hostages.

Raki grumbled back then, though not as much as I expected. Perhaps, giving her the Quetzacoatl fruit back made her quite happy. He was also happy to exchange his Azure Dragon fruit with me.

In fact, I had actually given him false hope the first time I told him that I would return the fruit. I have no way to extract the devil fruit from someone without killing them. But, as I have said, the power of my demonic fruit feels more real, more a part of me, so they are stronger than ever. I can increase their strength with my Haki and Root strength. So I can return the fruit, as promised…

By the way, as I said ... The power of my demonic fruit is mine now, they have become a part of my being, just like my Haki. So what I gave to Raki was.well, a part of me too. I hate to say it like this, but I might be able to kill him just by thinking if the situation is indeed the case.

Then again.. will such a situation happen?

“ Inhaling..”.

As I stood between Raki and Aisa, I realized even if that day was to come, it would be a long time until then.

“K-sister..”

Raki cried with her face buried in my chest, Aisa also stood under my arm. Aisa was speechless, just staring ahead with dead eyes.

Like that, the three of us watched the two corpses lying in front of us. 

Isa and Bob. Their bodies were filled with wrinkles, and their hair was bleached. Now, their frail and old bodies were lying on the ground with small smiles on their faces.

If it was someone else, I would say, 'Look on the bright side, a couple naturally died together.' But.it's not someone else.

To be honest, I feel pretty sad myself. Jesus took care of me most of my childhood, he gave me his food, his clothes, and his love and attention. I still remember the day when he gave me his apples, even though I had eaten most of them secretly. 

Most importantly, he saved my life when I was at my weakest point.

A long breath left me. At least I managed to give her and her husband a painless life. Even in old age, their health was never bad, their bones never hurt, and they never felt old at all. Good medicine helps, I guess.

I saw two girls by my side, they looked the same as they did decades ago when I took over the world. Their personalities are the same. Sometimes they were trapped, while the people around them withered.

Then again ... does the same not apply to me as well?

—★—

The outer region is very strong.

As Ammon thought, there were more than a dozen Apostles. No. , that's an understatement.

There are millions of them. Everything was powerful enough to annihilate a star system in a matter of minutes.

They also have a rank among them.

The woman Amon first met was a mid-ranker. He was quite strong, but there was a stronger Apostle. 

The Apostles were the ones who received the blessing from one of the twelve Gods, therefore gaining some of their power along the lines.

But even with such great strength, there were people who were Dikasti was unable to kill or capture him. They're called "Devil", basically criminals. Amon was declared a Rank-9 Devil when he first ate the World's Core.

There are 10 ranks among Devils. With 9 as the lowest, and 0 as the highest. 

When Amon found out about this, he planned to recruit people with the same Rank as him. After all, he did not need anyone stronger than him in his team.

While she researches around to make the plan a reality, she learns the exciting news.

It turned out that quite a number of groups were against Dikasti. That meant if Amon created his own faction, he would automatically possess them after his neck.

 However, Amon did not bother about it. There were countless treasures in the universe, even treasures that could destroy galaxies with a swing. To compensate for the lack of faction power, he only needed to hunt a few of those treasures.

After all, he was a pirate.

Isa died about 5 decades after Amon decided this, and since then, it has been almost a century.

Currently, Amon sits in his office located on a space station hovering above the earth

He's interfering with some documents right now. His clones were not like Shadow Clones, and all bodies were controlled by his single mind directly, so he could not just dip the workload into any of them, either, because they are all basically themselves.

'I never thought I would miss Robin someday.'

Amon sighed softly as he blinked his eyes through the lines on the paper before giving a signature in the lower right corner.

"Why do you look so tired?" A feminine voice spoke from the side, as Amon raised his head to find Raki lying on the sofa beside an invisible wall that showed a bright galaxy. "You hardly need to spend five minutes every day after taking care of the paperwork. That's why you don't have assistants anymore because they're always slower than you. I should've looked tired, you know."

Amon put down the paper, and took the others, as he spoke. "You won't get it, son."

"Kids?" He's desperate. "Son, we're only 2 years old." He dropped his head on the sofa again. "By the way, what's up? We haven't talked like this in a long time."

"I would say the sky is rising, but we are not on the planet." Amon laughed to himself. "Besides joking, I wish I could say that I'm fine, glad you're back, but you're just carrying a workload for me."

Raki looked at him, as she put all the papers beside him, finished with her work. Raki clicked his tongue. "Work load? You need 3 minutes. Brother, stop complaining all the time. You're not a kid anymore."

Amon shrugged and walked towards her from behind the table. "I don't want to act like an old man. Maybe after all this is over. Until then, I was young."

Amon went to the sofa while raising his hand like a baby. Amon pulled her arm as she wrapped it around her neck before kissing her.

"Mmmm..." When the kiss ended, Raki looked at her face while licking her lips. "The new girl's scent. I've just been gone for a few months and you've taken a new chick? Who's she?"

Amon shrugged his shoulders. "He's a champion of a battle-oriented race. Red skin and all. Challenging me to a duel, and when I won, he challenged me to a more intimate duel . I won again. Now he and his planet are under the Einherjar."

Raki laughs. "So, you had fun while I was away?"

"I think you can see it that way. Although it was never really 'fun' for me in our current situation" Amon said. "But what interesting things did you find?"

Amon sat on the sofa as Raki sat on her hips to the side.

"interesting? There's nothing like it. I was facing an annoying situation. There was this person, one of the Intermediate Level Apostles, who was known for his ability to disguise and bewitch people because he was the Apostle of that chatty Goddess of Love.he was called Pandemos?" Amon nodded, interested. "By the way. So this guy disguised himself as one of my subordinates, and then he tried to seduce me for 4 months I was gone. I knew there was something going on from the start.Aphrodisiac on my drink, I cut the ball and put it in his mouth. Serve it right, tsk."

"Yes right." Amon nodded while laughing. "I think you've got your own fun out there."

Raki snorted as Amon thought of something.

…So someone dared try to touch his Raki.

Amon will see the end of this. All the apostles of Pandemos must die.

"Anyway," Amon spoke. “Rest, congratulations on the mission. If things go well, we will reach our third World Core. ”

 “Ya.. but,” Raki brought her face closer to her face, rubbed her face around her neck, and muttered softly, “I don't want to rest yet. I miss you so much."

He bit his neck gently as his hands tightened on his back.

He was about to tear off his shirt but before he could do that, a knock fell on the door.

"Ugh.. who bothers at such an important time." Raki snorted and glared at the doorway.

Amon laughed at him, hit him on the back gently, and said, "Come on Yamato."

The door was pushed open as a white-haired woman with red horns walked in with war supplies.

He looked at the scene and blinked. “Ah, Raki back..”.

"Yes." Yeah." Raki sighed looking at it. “What's up, Yamato. We're gonna fuck, but you just interrupted us. ”

“Eh.” Yamato smiled. "Then I'll come back later-"

"It's okay, leaving now is basically bothering us for no reason." Raki waved her hand as a grin slowly formed on her lips. “In addition, you can also join us..”.

Yamato did not look embarrassed, not as usual. After all, he had already been in this same situation dozens of times before.

“Yah... We can do it later, but I'm here to say something.” Yamato scratched his arm. 

Looking at his suddenly nervous stature, Amon looked into his eyes, but he looked the other way. 

“I...” Yamato sighed and looked Amon in the eyes. "I want to stop."

"...Ah." Raki gasps. "Ah? Huh huh? T-wait, what?!”

He jumped from Ammon's lap and ran to Yamato, putting his hand on his shoulder. “Yamato, is something wrong? Did someone say something bad to you? Is that a brother? Did he say anything?”

He looked really worried as he looked at Yamato's golden eyes with his own eyes.

Amon just shrugged his shoulders from the side. “Oh, so will I take you to Wano?”

"Hi!" Raki turned to her with a frown of disapproval. "Don't push the idea, calm him down or something!"

Yamato lowered his head and shook his head. “It's okay Raki... and no, Amon. Not to Wan. By 'stop', I mean, I want to quit the battle and such. I am sure others can handle it myself. From what I see, meaningless blood spills, and I take part in it.”.

Blood Without Meaning. That was what it seemed to anyone higher up in the Einherjar rankings. At this point, after more than a century of fighting, the Amon faction was strong enough to remain calm and coexist in this Universe with other factions, so there was no need for him to continue to enlarge his Empire, either, which requires meaningless blood to shed. .

At least that was what Yamato had seen.

Amon is just trying to get stronger, Sin knows that. Sin was fine with it, but someone like Yamato, whose heart was too pure, would not be able to continue seeing this happen.

He fell in love with the people around him, which was the only reason why he had survived until now. But recently, one of his friends, not a human, was killed in battle. In one of those meaningless battles.

So he finally decided to stop. 

But…

"But I won't go" Yamato said. “I just... Just put me on another team, okay? Anything works, even the one doing the paperwork or something. I just don't want to keep fighting like this.”.

Raki opened her mouth to say something but she did not say anything. Yamato was powerful, a valuable asset to this faction. If he stopped fighting, Einherjar would lose the powerhouse. But at the same time, what can Raki tell him? He couldn't really force Yamato unless Amon wanted him to.

He turned to glance at Amon who shrugged his shoulders again.

“It's okay, Yamato. Thank you for your service on the battlefield until now. ” Amon talk. “But since you don't want to leave us just like that, be my assistant. Besides I'm tired of all these documents.”

Blinking her shock, Yamato nodded again, smiling gently. “Thank you for taking care of me. I'd be sad if you dropped me just like that on Wano.”

Amon smiled and waved his hand. 

'The blood of the warriors flows in your veins. It will take a while, but you will return to the battlefield because that is where you were born.' thought Amon.

"Anyway," he cleared his throat. “Come here, you two. Let's... reunite.”.

—★—

[The World Core] is the unification of the Will of the entire star system.

It takes nearly a millennium to form, and only certain planets can form such nuclei in thousands of years.

When the World's Core began to take shape, he collected the rest of the deceased's will and combined it to form a new, larger will, which became the World's Will.

Because it takes nearly a millennium, billions and sometimes trillions of remaining wills are collected in one place.

[The root] is so called because it is like a tree root, with spreading branches covering the entire Universe, as it is the beginning of the universe, the initiator of the Big Bang.

For Root, World Cores is what helps in forming new branches from other old branches. The root seals a small dot in one of its old branches and then lets the point gather power from within, instead of using The Root's own energy. 

Over a millennium, it gathered trillions of desires and merged to form the World's Core.

However, when fully formed, The Root's power of influence on that area was more than any other part of the universe.

After that, Root guided the power stored within the World Core to spread out like a net and form a new branch, which caused the World Core to slowly decrease in cost of helping the universe expand. One Core World can make branches spread out trillions upon trillions of light years, so only once every few centuries does the Core World appear.

Anyone who held the World Core, however, was immediately considered a Grade-9 Devil, who was raised after further observation. People usually used the World Core to create crude weapons, weapons that allowed them to use a fraction of the Core power. That was the normal way the criminals used the World Core.

But.. Recently, the twelve Dikasti Gods were irritated by the appearance of an anomaly. 

This anomaly has ... eaten the Core of the World. It was not completed, but most of the World Core obtained by the Feinds was also not completed. Dikasti could not decide where to place the anomaly in the Fiend rank. He did have the core of the world, but he did not use it through weapons, he could channel it with his empty mind— or at least that was what the apostle Apolium reported two centuries ago.

By the time the claim was confirmed, the anomaly was already strong enough. 

Back in the day, when Apolium went there to finish what its Apostle could not, the Gods were surprised to see the anomaly escape to another dimension along with his entire Star System.

Apolium had tried to get into the world because most of the dimensions opened by weak people were made very poorly where Root could still be reached. Apolium was confident because space manipulation was quite normal for a Dikasti ranked higher, let alone a God, as long as Root was present there.

But Aplium can't break in.

It was more worrying than shocking. 

In such a small time frame since the anomaly of 'eating' the World's Core, he already possessed enough power to fight against Gods? Or did he use some tricks? Some treasure maybe?

They had no answer to that, even when they looked to [Record ].

A few days after Apolium returned, the Star System returned to its original place.

However, every time Apolium went there to attack again, the anomaly also escaped again.

In the end, out of anger, Aplium destroyed most of the galaxy and returned home. Since then, the Gods had not tried to catch any more anomalies, knowing he would escape like a mouse again. They knew, if only two Gods worked together, they could break through that dimension, but the Twelve Gods hated each other for more than one reason that had happened for thousands of years. So they left the anomaly alone for a while, letting their higher-ups take care of it.

By the time they realized, only a century later, in the 3rd century in space, the anomaly had become a Class-0 demon.

—★—

Raki is worried and worried because something is wrong with Sins. 

They all feel different. Rouse suspiction.

Not just Sins, everyone he was. No, everyone close to Amon was acting strangely.

They feel like robots.spies, stabbings from behind . And this feeling came overnight.

Did someone change Sin with a doppelganger?

Maybe Amon killed them all and replaced them with clones?

It's impossible, but it's not impossible. So he went to Amon's office and came in.

"Brother, are you paying attention ?!"

"Hm?" Amon, who looked profound without contemplation, blinked at his question. "Oh, you mean the irregularities in people? Don't worry about that."

"What's? What do you mean, hey!" Raki approached him and jumped into his lap. "That's creepy, you know. What's wrong with them?"

“Hm..” 

Amon looked into his eyes for a long time, before saying in a cold voice. "...You're still gonna pretend?"

"What?" Raki grunting. "What the fuck? Whatdoes thatmean? Oy, explain! You're scaring me!"

Amon just looked at his face. "...Roots. Universe's Will. You finally took action against me yourself. You want to exterminate me?"

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Stop pretending to be Raki," Amon said those words. "I'm surprised at how much you pretend to be him, while others are still a bit noticeable."

The sword from his waist, Kiyu, also joined in. 'Yes, stop!′

Raki's patience finally broke as she turned her head to Hybrid form and smashed it into Amon's forehead.

Amon hissed but did not hinder.

"Bro, stop being such a freak. Do you do some kind of roleplay? Why wasn't I told?!" said Raki. "Don't tell me you forgot?!"

"Oww ..." Amon rubbed his head as he looked at his face, this time a little surprised as he blinked. "Ah.ah, so."

He's nodding. "I understand now."

"...What's?"

"You are a part of me."

Raki blinked as her cheeks became slightly pink. "Sister fool, stop acting like a teenager. We're too old for this."

"No, I mean literally," said Amon as Raki's red hue grew. "I gave you my powers centuries ago, which is why you are almost like 'Parasite' as well because those powers interpret your existence too much."

"Huh?" Raki's red hue is gone. "What did you say?"

Amon breathed. "You've already noticed, haven't you? The people around me are acting weird..." Raki nodded. "It was because the Will of the Universe saw me as a threat and wanted to subtly remove me by using my own people. It affects my people's minds directly. They will try to kill me immediately, immediately, in any way they can. "

Raki frowned. "Seriously?"

"But it doesn't seem like it can do that to you." Amon said, "Since I gave you the power of my Quetzacoatl."

Raki frowned. It was not his strength, he only had strength for about a year! But he understood the essence of his words. Amon is a kind of self-accepted 'Parasite' and since he gave him the power of 'having it' centuries ago, it has been integrated around its existence to make it like a 'Parasite' as well. 

Rather, not completely. But that's enough to keep him safe from brainwashing Root .

"So.." he scratched his chin. "You're under some kind of murder warrant that came straight from Root, and now I'm part of it too?"

"Aww, yes, indeed. Now that I think about it, isn't that romantic?"

Raki gasps. "No. We're gonna die. The Will of the Universe. It'll keep hunting us till we die."

Amon shrugged his shoulders. "That means we just have to eradicate it before we get a chance to eradicate us."

Raki sighed. "Estabbing Roots? Did you hurt your head? I'm not saying it's impossible, I know you can achieve whatever you plan but ... Exterminating the Root is like sinking the boat we are riding."

Amon nodded. "really. Is correct. You've grown smart. But that's not what I meant. I mean, what if I eat Root?"

"..." - ".Raki thought about it for a moment, before shaking her head. "I don't think that's possible. The Core World was hand-sized. The biggest thing you eat is the size of a football, to eat it you have to enter the shape of your giant. Although you might be able to become as big as a galaxy, I'm not sure, but the physical manifestation of Root , even at its core, is not something you can just put in your mouth and swallow. It has its branches everywhere. It won't get into your throat."

"Hey, this time I don't mean literally." Amon laughed a little. "Well, anyway, I'm gonna run away from here. People around me are dangerous. I planned to leave you too, but now that you seem to be fine, I guess I will take you too. Hopefully we can make things faster with your help."

Raki nodded and just put his head on his chest. "Whatever to you, my lord."

He giggles.

Indeed, this is annoying. Even life threatening. But Raki believes her brother can do anything.

—★—

Been…. Well, Amon has stopped counting time. A part of him knew how long it had been, but he only felt old when he thought about it.

It has been a long time since he and Raki left the Einherjar family, and today they have done the impossible.

"I think they're finally dead." Raki said as he walked through the blue portal followed by Amon, leaving behind a background where the corpse of the Twelve Gods lay bleeding.

"But..., are you sure you want to do this?" Raki asked as the portal closed and she walked on the edge of the ring-shaped platform. "I have a bad feeling about that."

"That's why I have you here ..." Amon chuckled as he began to strip.

On the ring-like platform where they were standing, in the empty area in the middle of the ring, there was something deep blue in color. It was the size of a small pond, and looked like a large round ball of something that imitated 'water', a large round ball of something that looked like 'blue energy'.

It was a physical manifestation of the Will of the Universe, a will so vast that it covered the entire universe.

"Argh, it looks like he's angry." Raki frowned, feeling the intent on his skin. "Brother, are you sure? Diving into the ball was basically diving into the core of Root's will. You may have eaten some of the core of the world, but this is what makes the Core World. It'll devour you."

Amon laughed and explained. "Think like this... Some parasites can enter the human brain and eat them from the inside, and even take control over the body. Humans can squeeze it between their palms, if they touch it, but as long as they can't, the parasite is invincible. As with Root's core, he can't do anything to parasites unless he overwhelms me. I'm only that strong, at this point. That makes Root, in a simpler word, desperate ."

"Stop comparing the Universe to the human body. It'll get you killed" Raki said. "The Root may not be able to communicate, but he has his own strong will. He's smarter than any human, and even a monster like you. You just killed yourself, brother."

Amon chuckles at hearing it, while removing ****** ********. "You said that after you helped me for so long? Anyway, dear Raki, watch my back. If something goes wrong and I die, I think I'll meet you in the afterlife."

"Observe if there are any irregularities!"

Shouting that, his body sunk within the pond as if it was truly water.

" Sigh ... " Raki rubbed her temple and looked at the pond with concern.

Not long after, space shook around the area as the blue energy warped into projections of the monsters, humans, and Gods that he and Amon had just killed.

They are aberrations, who will try to stop Amon by pulling him out of the pool.

"...Ugh. How am I supposed to handle them all?"

It seemed that a being made of universal will wanted to rush into the core and bring Amon out. He is alive, at least.

Raki sighed and unsheathed his blue and gold sword. They shone brightly in this place as he clashed with the projection of the God he had just killed just a moment ago. 

Cosmic Lightning God, Jove.

Their clash caused the stars in the distance to tremble and explode, but that was certainly not enough. There are dozens of projections again.

Raki's body doubles, as he uses one of his many abilities obtained from the DNA of various types of aliens. His physical clones, all of them, went towards the enemy, stopping them from reaching the Core.

Raki has little hope that Amon will come out unscathed, but he has absolute hope that he will come out. So he'll give everything for her.

That's what he thought at first …. But something's changed.

Blue balls and blue threads of roots spread everywhere, changing color.

It became red, crimson and blood red, as the energy that was as calm as the sea died earlier raged like a volcanic eruption.

The eruption released a burst of red energy that obliterated all the blue projections, while Raki stood up without a scratch.

'Did he do it ?!'

Raki asked in her mind as her eyes glittered.

He saw a red ball of will, as he tried to sense Amon in it.

But he couldn't feel it at all. The will of the roots is too thick to do so.

He knelt down to bow but the red pond that looked like boiling lava began to calm down.

Raki became scared. Did the Universe defeat him?

But then ... something really unexpected happened.

[MY.].

Words began to appear in the sky, floating everywhere, and at the same time, he began to hear voices as well.

[I am the only one]

One line written in the language that Raki remembered from the earth, was at the center of the universe before slowly disappearing and the red energy ball returned to blue.

Raki's heart fell.

"Sister?! Are you dead??!!"

He screamed in the pool but nothing happened.

"Eh... Wait, I'm coming!"

He stood up and jumped inside - but something caught him in the air. 

An invisible force.

[Stop stopping.]

A voice, the voice of Ammon, spoke from all directions. 

[I'm not sure how to speak in this .. 'shape. I'm still learning. Don't rush, just wait quietly. Ugh, my mind barrier words are revealed as well. Ck.]

Raki's body slowly fell back onto the platform, as she blinked and waited.

"W-sister?"

[It's me.]

"Where are you…?"

[... Mahahadir? I think that's the right word.]

'Where? What the fuck?' Raki.

Something that could hardly be called laughter, flowed from everywhere. But it stopped suddenly.

[...Erm, it seems like everyone in the universe can hear me. Whoa, some guy died because of my voice…. Shit, wait, let me try something…. Ck, why is this so hard.]

Raki looked at the incomprehensible movements of the great power before the blue energy began to gather in front of him.

"Ugh ... another projection?"

Raki grabbed his sword again, but as his body formed.

"Oh, look, it worked." Amon, looking the same as usual, spoke. "Hm, but I'm naked. Can I make clothes too?"

Fabrics formed around his body. 

"Oh wow."

"Brother brother!" Raki cried as she jumped towards him. He tried to hug her, but she just passed him. "What-what?!" And fell on his face.

Amon held back his laughter. "My fault, my fault. I need to activate the mass as well... Hm." He's nodding. "It should be fine now."

Raki stood up while rubbing his forehead as he watched Amon examine his body, and then looked around like a blind man who saw the world for the first time.

"Brother brother." Raki stand. "You're a brother, right? You're not a doppelganger with brother memories, are you?"

Amon looked at him and hummed. "Maybe."

“…”

“Oke, how do I explain this? …Well, basically, I changed bodies. My body was previously destroyed within the Root, and now I am the Root, and the entire universe is me. As long as I exist, the universe will exist, as long as the universe exists, I will exist. With simpler words," Amon smiled. "I'm like an immortal being now. Oh, also Almighty. I'm not sure about the Omniscient part. I think I should activate something for that ... it's like messing up some settings in the software .. yes, wait a minute let me try ... "

"Hey, quiet!" Raki jumped up and wrapped her hands around her neck. "You understand!" He smiled broadly. "You're Absolute, or whatever you want. Stop mumbling to yourself and think ."

Amon blinked. "Hm .. am I absolute?" He asked himself. "Hm. I am the strongest. I can't be killed. I'm Almighty... No one else is stronger than me. Some of this and that. Uh, everything's sorted out." Amon laughed a little. "God."

Absoluteness…?

He needs to enjoy this feeling properly.

Raki's body shivered. "Yes! How long has it been? Since we conquered the earth? You understand! You understand!" He jumped up with a big smile.

While he did, Amon thought about his question.

“...It's been about a millennium. I also know the exact number if you want to know."

"No, it's okay."

Raki sighed as she cancelled her embrace and looked at him. "So, um... How's now?"

Amon looked at him for a moment. "What do you mean?"

“I mean, what are we going to do now?

Amon smiled and was about to reply to something, but, his expression froze.

"I have a place to go."

"Oh where?"

Amon smile. "I'll tell you more later. Just wait here .. I'll be back, I promise."

"Huh what?"

Amon took a deep breath.

"What?"

Raki.

—★—

Amon traveled far, far from where the Root branches ended. He can coexist anywhere now, even with the lack of Root, because he is Root, and he is Amon as well. It's like using a laptop in battery charging, instead of using it directly from plugging it in with electricity.

Ammon stood in an empty place outside the universe, in the void itself. 

Using his powers, both his individual and those he possesses as 'Root', he speaks to the void, relinquishing his authority and claiming it as his domain in the meantime.

"Show me all the other versions of myself."

Nothing happened.

Something was supposed to happen, because the Void was a void connected to all the universes, which meant even the universe of Ammonian origin.

"...Show me all the alternative versions of myself."

Nothing happened again.

Amon was worried

"... January 2, 2021, earth, morning," He spoke. "Show me the city."

This time, his orders succeeded. 

A large screen formed in the void where the modern city was displayed.

Amon controlled coordination with his thoughts as he stopped where he died, being hit by a school bus driven by a drunk driver.

Amon waits for the video to reach the part where he will be destroyed by the bus.

He waits.

But nothing happened.

A school bus did indeed pass through a road that he had passed thousands of years ago. And the driver was drunk. But.he didn't pass.

Amon replayed the scene and played it again. Nothing has changed.

He then advanced quickly. Maybe the other bus hit him?

But nothing showed up.

It was a sunny day, the sun was rising, and everything was going in peace.

"What?"

Amon had a huge frown on his face as he tried to decipher what had happened, to be exact.

Moments later, he begins to search for his old broken home. It was there but,

No family inhabited it.

"Have I entered the date wrong?"

Date correct.

"Then what?"

Later Amon searches for his family members with their personal details, and he finds them. 

It was ...a strange feeling seeing them like this. He hardly recognized them. They seemed so far away, so .. was unknown to him at the moment.

But they don't live in a rundown house. They live in a mansion. The same house Amon used to live in before his father died. That has happened about 5 years ago from the year the video was shown.

But…

His father was there, having breakfast with his mother and older brother.

He, however, is missing.

Amon spoke after a long silence. "In how many worlds, universes, or timelines, does "I" exist?"

The answer came to him by itself.

[One.]

"...Pick one?"

[This one.]

"What the fuck?" Amon laughed a little. "Then what am I? The formation of some fragmented memories? Is this a dream?"

[Also not.]

"Then?"

[You are from the world ... where you no longer exist.]

"Why?"

[Mahakuasa means "Oneness". You can only exist in one timeline, in one world, because you are now an Almighty being. Simply put, your death is too early. You die, in all time lines and dimensions at the same time, because you have become the Almighty, and you become omnipotent because you have died.]

"..."

After a long silence, Amon let out a sigh that became a laugh.

So what does all this mean?

He started his journey because he wanted to be Absolute. RIGHT.ON. But he always had a second goal where he wanted to put his enemies from last life to where they were.

What is this now?

Is his whole life a lie?

"...I think almighty beings can also experience existential crises, uh."

He might be able to create a timeline where he truly exists, and everything he went through would continue. But ... he knew it would start another paradox.

The bigger reason is. Well, his family is fine, happy without him. From the looks of it, now that he wasn't around, his father wasn't dead. That is, in a sense, his presence had killed his father in his first life.

"It feels bad for a man."

"Should I shut down my bad emotions completely?"

He did not get any answer from the All-Knowing. I don't think it decided anything for him.

"No."

Amon breathed.

"Anything."

He flicked his finger, opening the portal back to his home, to Raki.

—★—

It's been a while since Amon left.

Like 5 minutes!

Raki's getting anxious. He was acting different than usual. Was it a side effect from the merger or whatever he did with Root?

How did he do that, exactly?

"Ugh, where did that bastard fly ..."

As Raki grew impatient to go berserk and blow up several galaxies, a portal opened in front of him and Amon slowly walked out.

'Then again, I could have appeared in front of him instead of using the portal.' Amon muttered to himself as he walked.

"Ugh, it took me a while to get used to all this."

He could only hope to control and familiarize himself with all of this, and it would happen. He knows it. But it's not fun, is it?

"Brother brother!"

Raki ran towards him, wrapping her arms around his waist as he looked at her.

"Sister bastard. Where the hell are you going? I can't feel you anywhere .. I thought you left me."

Amon stared at his face for a long time. "I really have nowhere to go if I have to leave you."

"..."

"Hm, maybe I'm wrong." Amon made a pondering expression. "The others should return to normal now that I've taken over Root."

Raki. "Oh yeah! But first, what do you really do? What are you now?"

"Rubber is a collection of Will, it has its own intelligence as well. But he has no real personality. I just did this and that and put my consciousness into that thing. That's dangerous, honestly. But it accepted me. More like I forced it to accept me."

It would not have worked if someone from this universe had tried it. Because Amon is like an invading virus, he is able to do so because it is naturally weaker against it without the 'antibodies' there to stop it. That was also the reason, the Omniscient One told him, that he could eat the World Core while no one else could.

There is certainly more to this subject, and without Amon accumulating strength and knowledge over the centuries, this would be a failure, but he would not need to explain in detail. Raki doesn't care.

"I understand..." Raki shrugged her shoulders. "Well, that's good. I don't really care as long as it's still you . But.." she saw his expression. "You just achieved your dream, but you don't look so happy. Why that?"

Amon stared at his face for a long time, expressionless, before he slowly scratched his chin. "Weeell, I'm happy, more than ever actually. But there are two things that make me feel sad." he sighed. "One part of it. I'll tell you one day, it's kind of a big story. But the other part will come true."

Amon spoke again. "Solvency is subjective. I may be absolute in this Universe, but what about outside? You know, there should be many almighty beings in other universes, the multiverse, or the omniverse ."

If the One Piece world is real, why aren't DC and Marvel? That is, beings like One Above Everything and the Presence of everything must be real… 

"In their respective universes, they must all be almighty. Then answer me this," Amon spoke slowly. "If two beings of the Almighty fight, in the place where the two Almighty work, who will come out victorious?"

Raki thought for a moment before shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know. Isn't that a paradoxical question?"

"Fright." Amon nodded. "But... What is a mere paradox to an Almighty being?" His death was also a paradox, but he perfectly understood it in a way that even normal beings could not think of... There's still a lot to be had.."

Raki sighed and rubbed his temple. "So, what are you going to do now?"

Amon pointed his finger upwards, beaming.

"I plan to go beyond, what else? I plan to surpass the barriers of omnipotence."

Raki gasps. Could there be something beyond Omnipotence? Sounds like shit to him.

Anyway, Raki grabbed his arm. "...Well, I guess we'll waste a few more millennia like this. Heh. It's up to~ as long as I'm with you."

Amon ruffled his hair. 

"For starters, let's make this little universe Omniverse . From there, we'll keep moving forward."

Moving forward on an endless journey.

Endless journey to power.

It was a goal that Amon liked very much.

TL: Finished!!!!!! Honestly the fate of straw hat members is tragic, but how else the original author who will.

Oh One More For Those Who Want to know why there are missing episodes?. That's because I didn't enter and there are some who refused, Because all the episodes that were rejected or ga up there was a 21+ scene and I was lazy to make a correction so that's it, so, moreover, the story that is rejected does not affect the plot of the story because it only contains the scene ***** an doang.

The author again translated the new novel, Don't forget to stop by.
