2 Chapter 2: The Universe Will (1/2)

As the Gods redirected their eyes, a bright light engulfed Gaia and Marcus. As they opened their eyes they found themselves in a white space. In front of them were three floating balls of light. In the middle was a golden light, to its left a white light and to its right a blue light.

”I heard your call child and I have responded,” a voice came from the golden light, ”I am the Will of the Universe also known as the Universe Will. To my right is the Will of the Aether, whom I'm sure you are well acquainted with, and to my left is Heaven's Will.”

”Huh?” Marcus said surprised. ”Aren't I dead?”

”No Master, you were but not anymore,” Gaia calmly replied.

”Eh? Gaia what are you doing here?” he asked.

”I am as curious as you are Master.”

”Would you care to enlighten me?” Marcus asked as he turned to the Universe Will.

The Universe Will sighed, ”You are my child as such I was able to summon you to this place.”

”Your child?”

”Yes, all the Primalborn were my children. Unfortunately, because of me, you all had to die.”

”The Gods, Devils and Buddhas were afraid of you being too strong right?”

”That's right. I couldn't intervene either because they were always watching me. Thus I hatched a plan to create a new race, one which they couldn't trace back to me and one which they wouldn't be afraid of.”

”The Dungeon Cores.”

The Universe Will bobbed up and down to give the impression of nodding, ”Unfortunately I do not have the liberty of explaining the intricate details to you. All I have time to say to you is that I have high hopes for you and that I am very proud of you my child.” With that, a bright light once again engulfed Marcus and Gaia.

Once they opened their eyes this time they found themselves in the Core Room.

”What just happened?” Marcus asked as he scratched his head. He tried to wrap his mind around what just happened but he had way too many questions. ”Gaia do you have any idea what just happened?”

”Yes. You died, we got transferred to another dimension then we returned with some help from the Universe Will and the two other Supreme Wills,” it answered as a matter of factly.

”Yes I get that but how did I... Wait you said help?” Marcus asked as he turned around. He noticed that there were ten eggs in front of the floating Dungeon Core and a weird circle behind it.

The object was about three metres tall and it was purple in colour. It also had some engravings on it and it had glowing blue mana inscriptions.
