Chapter 3 - The grand orchestra of creation-part 2

"I'm asking you again—what powers did you give to the life we created?" asked Man.

Woman, wearing a smug smile on her face, replied:

"The powers I gave to the life we created were Light, Time, Speed, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and finally, Darkness.The powers Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and Darkness were only given to a few, for these are strong forces in the creation you built. And I will also tell you how they can use these powers.

First, the power of Light—the user can hold and project light. With minimal control and through their brain and imagination, they can create things using light.

Second, the power of Time—I created a unique kind of time for the life, one that flows in three directions: past, present, and future. This power is difficult to master as it requires immense dedication. That's why I placed limitations on it—to prevent users from altering the natural flow of time. If someone does master it, they can shift time's flow—but only for a few seconds. If they go beyond that, their brain will collapse.

Third, the power of Speed—this is the only power given to the majority of life. With it, they can create many artificial energy resources necessary for survival on their respective planets. When mastered, users can travel at light speed. If ultra-mastered, they can even exceed the speed of light.

Fourth, the power of Dark Matter—this power is the opposite of light. Light functions similarly in all situations, but Dark Matter users become significantly stronger at night. While powers like Light, Time, and Speed have physical limitations based on the body's structure, Dark Matter can overpower the user at night if not controlled. It begins to act on its own. In the morning, however, it behaves normally.

Fifth, the power of Dark Energy—similar to Dark Matter. In the morning, with or without control, the user can harness the power. But at night, if the user lacks control, this power will control them. And the danger is even greater with Dark Energy because it's based on raw energy. If not controlled, it becomes chaotic.

Finally, the power of Darkness—whoa, this is the most dangerous power of all. Both Dark Matter and Dark Energy are merely by-products of Darkness. A user who possesses Darkness automatically holds both Dark Matter and Dark Energy. That's why it's nearly impossible for anyone to wield Darkness."

"Wow... that's a whole lot of work you've done there," said Man.

Woman stood silent, listening, as Man wished to continue.

"When you said 'strong forces in this creation,' what did you mean by that?"

"Oh yes," said Woman. "I created a few other things in this creation. Let me explain:

First, I created three major forces in the entire creation—Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and Darkness. These three forces govern everything created in this universe.By the way, I named your whole creation 'Universe'."

"These three forces operate outside the galaxies. And I also created four more forces that work within the galaxies—Gravitational Force, Magnetic Force, and the Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces.I do not care to explain what each of these forces does, so…"

She raised her right hand and pointed her index finger at Man. A small shiny ball emerged from her fingertip and entered Man's brain.For a moment, he closed his eyes and said, "Very thoughtful… and very brilliant how all these forces work together."

"I really like the name you gave to this creation of mine—'Universe'."

Man paused, deep in thought. He began planning how to find the Galactic Gates, and how to use everything Woman had created.Deliberately or not, Woman had helped him come up with a quicker way to reach the gates. He stopped thinking and looked at Woman with a long, deep, smug smile.

Then, without warning, he jumped out of the castle, startling Woman. She was confused—what was he doing?

The Man, now floating outside the castle, stretched his arms wide open. To Woman, he looked like he was exposing himself to the world he created.But what he was actually doing was collecting energy from the void.

He shrunk himself into a compact mass and then released all the energy he had absorbed.

In that moment, just as he had created one universe before, he now created countless universes.

He returned to the castle and drew a tree on the wall with his finger.That tree was a live projection of every universe he had just created.

He added one more feature to this explosion of creation—Auto-Creation Mode.This mode stores a massive amount of Man's power and uses it to automatically create new universes, new life, and distribute powers accordingly.

He then created a being specifically designed to monitor the Tree and the automation process.

Her name was MISS.MISSY—she would oversee the generation of universes.

"Thank you, Woman," said Man."Because of you, I've now found a great idea to locate the Galactic Gates sooner."

Woman ignored him.

So much of their 'time' had passed. Now, Woman had two sons. The eldest was called Elder Brother, and the youngest was called Younger Brother.

Man didn't know how the sons were born, but he thought, "This has to be Woman's doing. She must have created both of them."

The brothers were always together. As 'time' passed, they grew up in no 'time' at all. Seeing both her sons together made Woman feel a glimmer of happiness amidst her endless sorrow.But the brothers weren't truly happy—because from the time they were children until now, they had never seen the faces of Man or Woman. Every time they tried, a thick black foam covered their faces.All their lives, the brothers had only known their voices as they grew up.

Elder Brother was a tall and handsome man with long, thick hair and a muscular frame. His golden eyes shone like fire.Younger Brother was similar in many ways—but just one step below Elder Brother in everything. He had silver eyes.That one step difference between them was what Younger Brother disliked most.

When Elder Brother reached adulthood, a deep desire awoke in him. He wanted to leave the castle and travel the world his father had created—though Man never truly saw them as sons and merely acted like a father.

Since a young age, Elder Brother spent his time staring at the Tree of Creation drawn by Man. He had listened to many stories of how the universe was created by Miss. Missy, and how more were still being born.His curiosity about what lay inside the galaxies grew stronger each day.

Finally, he went to his mother and asked, "Can I leave the castle and see what lies inside a galaxy?"

Woman thought for a moment and then said,"You can go. But be careful with your powers."

"All right, Mom. I'll be careful," said Elder Brother.

He began searching for his younger brother and found him near the Tree.Elder asked him to join the journey, but Younger Brother refused. This saddened Elder Brother, who had hoped to travel with his beloved brother.

Alone, Elder Brother began his journey. He chose the nearest galaxy and named it Shining Candy.Upon entering it, he saw many planets—and his excitement was endless. He chose one planet and dove through its thick, clouded atmosphere.

As he neared the lower clouds, he heard:

"Shoot with all your might! We have to loot everything here! Leave no one alive! Don't care if it's a woman or a child—just kill them!"

Elder Brother froze mid-air, stunned by the most horrifying scene he had ever witnessed.

He didn't even know what the word "kill" meant.

He descended to the surface, cloaked in invisibility using his powers, and observed.

He saw how the species of that planet slaughtered one another. The strong oppressed the weak. The weak cowered in fear.This sight deeply disturbed him.

He left the planet and traveled to another—only to witness the same thing.

Elder Brother, with his golden eyes, could see everything he desired. Though he could not see the future, he could see the present more clearly than anyone else.So, he flew into space and widened his vision. He scanned the entire Tree of Creation.

And he confirmed something terrible.

There was no peace in the creation his father had built. Not in this universe—not in any universe.Everywhere, war reigned. Everywhere, the innocent were killed. The evil thrived, while the good suffered.

He went to Man and told him what he had seen.

But Man did not care.He had no concern for the lives he created. All he ever wanted was to become a king. His only obsession now was to find the Galactic Gates.

Elder Brother was lost in sorrow, unsure of what to do.

Then Woman came to him, placed her hand gently on his head, and patted him.

Elder Brother broke down. He cried in her arms and told her everything he had seen in his journey.

She listened and softly said:

"My son, don't feel bad. You haven't done anything to cause this.But you can do something to stop it. So think."

Her words gave him the courage to do just that—to think.

And then he had an idea.

"All the life that was created is doing whatever it pleases. There's no order. No balance. So... I will become their ruler.I will create something that will ensure accountability.I will make it so that everyone knows: someone is watching. Someone is judging. Someone is protecting."

He called this system the SPACE GOVERNMENT.

As Man didn't care for any of this, Elder Brother kept the idea to himself.

But when he told Woman, she said,

"This is a wonderful idea."

Elder Brother was thinking about how to start the government when Woman said:

"Instead of thinking of a way to start it, wouldn't it be good to let the people know that there is someone watching them?"

An idea sparked in Elder's mind. He went to see the Tree and placed his right hand on its center. Activating his golden eyes, his voice traveled to every place his eyes could see.

Suddenly, across the multiverse, creatures on every planet stumbled—no matter what they were doing—and heard a voice say:

"People of every universe, greetings. I am your ruler from this point on. I have seen each and every one of you and how you have lived until now—oppressing the weak and turning killing into a common act using your given powers. I don't blame you, for you were simply born on your respective planets without knowing what is right or wrong, and without anyone superior to tell you that your wrong deeds were not acceptable.From this point on, I will be watching you. I will be judging you. I will be protecting you... from you."

"I am starting a new organization called the 'Space Government.' Every planet that is created and every species that is born will come under this government. No one will refuse it.But for those who do, exactly by this time tomorrow, a door will appear before you. If you refuse the protection of this government and do not wish to live in order, you may enter it.And for those who wish to live with order and discipline—congratulations, you will now be protected."

Many from various species in the multiverse objected to living under an unknown ruler. Their minds had not evolved enough to understand what they were even rejecting. And as Elder said, doors appeared in front of everyone who refused the government.

The common people, who had accepted the voice, were now terrified. They wondered: "How can this ruler know who refused him and who listened?" Yet the doors opened perfectly in front of those who had rejected the government.

They thought,

"Is it right to follow this new 'government' thing? We don't even know what that word means."

Another replied,

"Shhhh, be quiet. Do you want a door to open in front of you? I don't know what this government is, but look around—all the bad guys who tormented us and stole our food are finally entering the doors. Maybe we can be free from them."

"Yes... you're right."

As all the members who rejected the government stepped through the doors, they vanished.

The people who remained came out, celebrating a strange joy they had never known. In truth, the life forms created in the multiverse had developed physically—but not mentally. When they used their powers for the first time, they felt what they now called joy. But as usual, the weak were terrified of the strong and forgot they had power of their own.

Now, with the strong and mighty gone, the people no longer lived in fear. They danced, moving their bodies in strange and joyful ways.

Elder gathered all those who had refused the government in one confined place. Giving a small smile, he said,

"Welcome."

After the meeting, the massive number of rebels were now separated from the rest of the multiverse.

With his golden eyes, Elder confirmed that countless species were rejoicing in the absence of their tormentors. This filled him with pride and joy. At that moment, he knew—this was the first step toward creating a true government across the multiverse.

And so, Elder began his Grand Plan of Order—to create peace throughout all existence.

Meanwhile, in the Death Realm:

A certain soldier said,

"Did you know that 'Man' created a universe and a new form of life—and made himself king, all on his own?"

Another scoffed,

"That 'Man' is truly a deranged being. He's just copying our King of the Death Realm—RAGNORK, the supreme ruler of the Dark Dimension."
