Chapter 1055  The Conviction

Kahn floated in the infinite cosmos filled with millions of universes, billions of planets existing in unison as he faced Raum, the God of Space.

The God on the other end, seemed slightly impressed with Kahn’s conviction.

By now, both Kahn and Raum knew that without the former’s permission, the latter couldn’t take over his body.

Even Gods valued the consent of their chosen Heroes, the people brought from other worlds for an unknown reason. And this played into Kahn’s favor in this meeting with the God of Space.

“Ah, you mortals and your stupidity… To think you can handle things better than us Gods.

This war wouldn’t have carried on and ended 3000 years ago had there been a suitable candidate for me back then.

But your defiance and pestilence knows no bound.” spoke Raum in an irritated tone.

“Fine… have it your way, Hero of Darkness. But do know that if one day, Vantrea is completely destroyed… as you breathe your final moments, remember that you had a choice to stop all of it.

But you didn’t do so mainly because of the arrogant beliefs that made you… hopeful.” declared Raum in an authoritative tone.

“Well, if I agreed to become your vessel… I would be dead anyway, wouldn’t I?” he asked the God sarcastically.

“Yes, you would. But the soul of one Hero against the existence of the entire multiverse; I would call it more than a reasonable bargain.” replied Raum.

“Ah, it makes me feel sad for God of Darkness, given how things are unfolding.

You found a Hero who would lay down his life to protect the multiverse without hesitation…

And then there’s God of Darkness, who chose a greedy and selfish bastard like me who would rather risk its destruction than embrace his death.

Ironically, I wanted to die the moment I met him, and now… I want to live and save this world by my own choice.” said Kahn, lamenting how the past him and the current him were different and completely opposite to each other in that aspect.

“So I will do everything the way I see fit than to relinquish my body to you or anyone else.” said Kahn firmly.

The reassurance of his own decision Kahn made God of Space feel a bit excited in a way.

Because on one hand, his own hero struggled with conviction while Kahn, a person chosen by another God, remained unfazed yet had a strong belief in himself.

“Then this ends our encounter, Kahn Salvatore. Regardless of your decision to deny the proposal… I hope you do succeed.

For me, it’s been a while since I spectated an interesting individual such as yourself. Yet, whatever it may come to; I hope we meet again before the end of this world.” iterated Raum solemnly.

Kahn gave an understanding nod in response because he too knew the weight of his responsibilities now that he met the God of Space himself.

What was to come in the future… it remained a mystery.

—————-

BLIP!

The next moment, Kahn found himself back inside the world of his creation, standing beside Miyamoto Musashi.

“Kahn… did you just…” asked the sword saint.

“Yes… I met him, I met the God of Space.” replied Kahn, still remembering the surreal experience he had inside the infinite space.

“That realm… it was created by the God of Space?” asked Kahn as he gazed at his Sensei.

“No. It was not.

Rather, it was the point of origin of the multiverse. God of Space not only occupies it but also oversees it like a silent guardian, a watchful protector.” replied the samurai swordsman.

“The number of universes, planets, and realities I saw there… were endless.

Can someone like us even achieve a fraction of that power even if we were to become Demi-Gods or achieve the 5th Enlightenment in the Space Law?” asked Kahn with an anticipatory gaze.

“I do not know. But what I do know is that becoming a Demi-God is just the first step.” responded Miyamoto Musashi with a light chuckle.

“I died before I could come close to that first step. Hopefully… you at least get a chance to do it on my behalf.” replied the first emperor of the Erdve Empire.

Kahn made a 90-degree bow and spoke with a respectful tone…

“I will try my best, sensei.”

He lifted his head and saw the world he created.

“After looking at the Origin of Multiverse… I think I understand few things about my own world.” said Kahn.

“Oho, and what would that be?” asked the sword saint, bemused.

“That although the world is a representation of who I am and what I will become as a person…” spoke Kahn and halted his words.

Tap!

He tapped his right foot on the ground and the very next moment, his cosmic aether spread into the nearby 100 kilometers.

“It doesn’t have to be limited to my own characteristics or imagination.” he said.

Rumble!

Tremble!

Woosh!

In the following moments, the desolate and dreary world created by Kahn which had nothing but black lifeless ground before… started evolving.

Soon, the different multicolored creations such as mountains, rivers of fresh water, trees, and clouds started appearing in this empty world, beginning the start of an ecosystem.

[The Elder Dragon Saalazaar was indeed right. Space Law isn’t about just manipulating or utilizing the space or the true dimension itself.

I was a fool to think that it was limited to primitive stuff such as just teleportation or attacking using the space force.] he thought.

“It is very well capable of not only creating a world that we can by achieving the 4th Enlightenment… It can make it real.” declared Kahn.

“What?!” exclaimed the sword saint with his eyes wide open.

“I felt it when I saw the God of Space… He wasn’t just overseeing the multiverse.

If my guess is right… He was altering the course of the multiverse and all the universes in it.

I saw many galaxies and all the lifeforms in them dying. Yet I didn’t feel any life force from them even as a mere spectator.” stated Kahn.

“Do you mean… those worlds were not real?” asked Musashi skeptically.

“No, they were real. However… all of them felt like replicas of the real thing, created perfectly with every minute detail.

I believe that the God of Space doesn’t just control the multiverse…

He’s balancing and preserving all lifeforms living in it.” Kahn’s bold claim even shocked the sword saint.

“Maybe that’s what he hoped that I would understand by meeting him.

In a way… he might have just given me a strong weapon to use against this Demon God everyone speaks of.” iterated Kahn and let out a confident smirk.

Miyamoto Musashi stayed confused, unable to comprehend what Kahn was talking about.

“I know what I need to do than just train and increase my power.

And I would also like to meet him.” said Kahn as he eagerly gazed at his Space Law mentor.

“Meet who?” asked the sword saint.

Kahn smiled, looking at the evolving world around him as the pitch-black world now started becoming a serene landscape filled with nature. He spoke with an intrigued countenance as he mentioned the person he wished to meet after this encounter…

“The Hero of Space.”
