Chapter 196 The Origin Era
?She opened her eyes, as her innumerable serpent-like tentacles squirmed in activity, garnering the attention of the Four boys on the platform.
She stood up and willed six Hyperverses to float towards them, breaking down into Universal essence, then reforming into five thrones, and a round table before them.
One throne was on the left side, while the four other thrones were on the right side. She willed more Hyperverses to break down and fuse into her thrown, increasing its size to fit her large body.
With all that done, she sat down within her throne, and regally stared down on the group of boys, speaking out with majesty and impassivity.
"Sit." She said, and the four boys exchanged glances and had a small conversation, as one of them was carrying an unconscious beauty, and did not know what to do.
"...."
Abigail did not disturb them as she let them bicker for a few more minutes, before the sickly young lad, took her into his arms, before she... vanished out of existence seconds later.
...???
The other boys were surprised for a bit, before letting it go for now. They then sat on the thrones, and faced the Imperial and Majestic Goddess Abigail with curiosity on their faces.
"Good." She nodded and opened her mouth to add on, her eyes gazing at one of the boys more, "There is a lot I would like to know. And a lot I would like you to know."
"But before that, do any of you, remember anything about an Era that transcends all of Space-Time, an Era that exists beyond all Realities, an Era that literally transcends all of Primordium..."
"Do you remember... The Origin Era?"
She asked, and the group of four boys stared at each other for a moment. Confusion written all over their faces, yet were afraid to disagree with her words. What if they angered the Goddess once again?
It took them ages to cry and calm her down. They would not bare to go through the same experience again. They would rather die. Even Enigma would rather die, and just give up there and then.
'What do we do?' Allen sent a mental message to Enigma, and he responded moments later, 'Nothing. Just keep quiet and let her explain some more of what she has to say.'
'...You, are trying to kill us aren't you? You definitely are.' Allen sighed mentally. And Enigma agreed. 'Yeah. I don't have the heart to do it personally, so I'll use this unfortunate young lady.'
'Oh shut up.' Allen clicked his tongue, and Enigma chuckled. Su Han kept quiet and was left out by these two senior brothers of his. But he preferred it this way.
"Seems you don't. Allow me to explain then." Goddess Abigail said, and all eyes were on her. "The Origin Era. This was an Era that represented the Origin. The Origin as in..."
Origin.
What would be the first think that pops into your mind when presented with such a word? The beginning? The first? The Source? The Cause? Or all of the above?
It all depends on how an individual sees it.
One could determine Origin as the beginning of all things. Where everything began from, making the term itself above everything that originates from itself.
Another could view it as the first of everything. Where everything came after it. Where everything is either a counterfeit or a mere copy of itself.
Some could see it at the source of everything, being the ultimate form, transcending anything born out of its sheer might and power.
And others could see it as the cause of everything. Every concept, every universe, every hierarchy, everything, as in literally everything, was its 'effect'.
And Ancient beings... would prefer to mix everything above, and more to define what their 'Origin' meant.
Their Origin was the beginning of all things, the first before everything, Existence, Non-Existence and even Totality. It was the source of everything, including the mentioned above Existence, Non-Existence and even Totality.
It was the cause of everything known to men and God, God and Supreme, Supreme and Creators, Creators and those beyond.
Everything was just a mere piece of what was considered "The Very First", "The Alpha Source", "The Beginning's Beginning", "The Perfect World", "Infinite Boundlessness".
They saw it as a place that was present everything, as it existed before everything, and everything existed after it. Everything originates from it, thus it presided everything.
Space? Time? Non-Space? No-Time? Duality? Trinity? Probability? Improbability? Possibility? Impossibility? Existence? Non-Existence? Primal Nothingness? Absolute? Totality?
These were just the few things that their 'Origin' was. Just a few. As any more, and one would just debunk it as nothing but Fictional.
Not only did it exist before Everything, but it continously transcended itself. Anything that has been conceptualized, will be conceptualized, or will never be conceptualized... it transcends them!!
Anything beyond the imagination of men. The imagination of Deities. The imagination of Gods. The imagination of Supremes and Primals. It transcends them!!
Anything that even the most Absolute of Minds and Absolute of Wills cannot fathom, it transcends them!!!
Omnipotence? It transcends that!!!
Omnipresence? It transcends that!!!
Omniscience? It transcends that as well!!
For even Omnipotent beings failed to do as they pleased within its influence. Even Omnipresent beings could not reach its edges, nor its deepest core. Not even Omniscient beings could decipher all of its secrets.
But one might refuse.
If an Omnipotent being was transcended, then that being was not Omnipotent to begin with. Same applies for Omnipresence and Omniscience.
For if there is a being "Beyond Omnipotence", then that said being would be considered as the Omnipotent one, and the one they transcended merely being Nigh-Omnipotent at most.
For there is no such concept as "Beyond Omni". Such a thing was not even allowed no matter how logic defying your entire Verse could be, no matter how much explanation you put into it. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
It can never, and will never be possible
"Omni" was nothing but a Trans-Fictional Power, that everyone tries to use, to show their extent of power and might, whereby no amount of books could define.
No such thing, can truly be Omnipotent, as regardless of what, they would be a limit at some point. Even those who are Metapotent, are not Omnipotent.
Even if that said Metapotent being can do something as marvelous as killing themselves, which would count as killing Metapotent beings... they would still not be Omnipotent.
For the feat of killing Metapotence, came at their True Death. Thus, what type of Omnipotent being would Truly Die?
One had to remember that, Metapotent meant you can do literally anything you desire. Thus, if you so wish, you can be the truest form of Eternity? Or the Ultimate form of Undying.
Or being "Beyond-Absolute-Meta-Invulnerability", an Illogical power. All was determined by one's imagination. And what is stopping them from making themselves Omniscient?
Yes. That was Metapotence.
And even that, was well below Omnipotence. And that said Omnipotent... was leagues below what Ancient beings themselves considered what the Origin Era was.
Because no matter who was considered Omnipotent, the Origin Era would transcend that person, and take that title for itself, thus being the Personification of Omnipotence itself.
Same applied for Omnipresence. How can one be Omnipresent, within a World that was literally everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time? Within a World that was beyond, and below.
How can a person know everything about a World that probably did not know itself, yet knew everything conceptualized? Even being OMNIPOTENCE itself, it still did not know its full origin.
And what was Omniscience before Omnipotence? And what was Omnipotence before the Personification of OMNI itself?
Literally. Nothing.
This was an Era beyond all-Fiction itself. What could Supreme Beings and Primal Beings be in the face of such Grand Power?
What could they amount to?!
NOTHING!!!
"And yet, such an entity... Fell." Goddess Abigail finished her long monologue about what she, and the most powerful beings considered the "Origin Era".
"...."
"...."
"...."
"...."
And the four lads were speechless beyond anything. They could not wrap their minds around any of it. Just as she mentioned, not even what Gods could not imagine, was transcended by that Era.
