Chapter 625: Literal God (1/2)

Nothingness.

That was the word that best described my current state. Thankfully, this nothingness only referred to the plentifulness of life in the universe that I created, not the universe itself. With so many copies of me that I continued to produce, I was capable of experiencing the most extreme and beautiful sights that one could ever cast his eyes on.

The birth of a star.

Something that even the earthy scientists never considered to something they could ever find out, as the process was simply too much stretched in time for them to show it in any marketable way. But with the endless amounts of time on my hands and an unlimited amount of my copies, nothing stopped me from experiencing this beautiful process in its entire glory.

From nothing more but an enormous cloud of simple gas, through the first moments during which some space rocks would form from heavier elements, all the way to the point when they started to come together under the force of both magic and gravity.

Or rather, that's what I expected to see from the mix of my earthy knowledge and the insights I had on magic. But the reality slowly proved me wrong. Because of a simple element I forgot and failed to realise over millennia worth of time.

In the first round of star formation, no heavy elements existed in the entire universe.

Compared to how slowly I continued to amass my knowledge about the world that surrounded me, once I came to this realisation, everything changed. Instead of wasting years on figuring out the meanings of the images my clones provided me with, it seemed as if I managed to recall a simple, but crucial information about where literally any element heavier than the few most basic atomic structures would appear.

In order for the world to obtain any amounts of those more precious materials that were more than necessary to create any complex substances, those starts whose formation I continued to observe with how there was absolutely nothing better for me to do, not only had to die. They had to die twice.

But as great and interesting topic as it was, given how I could differentiate different elements only from insanely intricate details of the magical aura that they had, I couldn't really prove something, even if I would be doing it just for my own sake. In my current position, I could only believe those videos I watched instead of sleeping back on earth while focusing my attention on the one thing that reached levels of knowledge that no one on earth was ever privy to.

Back in that world where I first learned about the existence of true magic, my perspective was simply too small to let me notice this. Only when my mind wrapped around entire galaxies instead of small areas of a small celestial body hidden somewhere amongst the infinite number of the stars could I notice something that completely broke all my understanding of magic.

Because magic was somehow correlated with gravity.
