World seed

Seth and Henrietta vanished from the darkness of space and suddenly appeared above Endora in the sky. Leora, Lisa, Razim, Hollie and a sealed Dukbium were all there, awaiting their arrival.

Right away, he was confronted with queries about his condition and what had occurred, which Seth merely shrugged and answered that he was okay and had won.

After Seth's wives had calmed down, he waved his hand towards Dukbium's divine source and destroyed it, together with the data chains constraining it, leaving only the fire divinity to hover into mid-air.

Seth waved his hand, causing the divinity to come closer, and he sealed it using his destruction energy before the fire will could manifest itself.

Hollie and Razim shot each other a shocked glance, and Razim questioned, “What was that?”

“What? Are you telling me you wanted to keep this rat alive?” Seth asked with a laugh.

“Not that. How did you remove the Tower’s chains?”

“I’m that good,” said Seth with a wink, turning toward Henrietta next. “Henri, how are things inside your inner world?”

“A mess,” said Henrietta. “The others will probably kill us. Maya especially.”

“No problem,” said Seth with a laugh, turning toward Hollie, Razim, Leora, and Lisa, “Do you mind entering Henrietta’s world and wait for me there? I have a few more things to do and will join you.”

The girls seemed to have plenty of questions, however Leora intervened before they could speak and said, “Henri, please.”

Henrietta spread her space energy over everybody, and they vanished within her world. When only she and Seth were left, Henrietta inquired, “What's wrong?”

“Nothing,” said Seth, exposing his time and space sources and making them hover toward Henrietta. “Do you mind?”

Henrietta tenderly took hold of the two sources, which were still barely holding on, and used her divinity to mend them before having them fly back to Seth. Now that his space source was fixed, Seth could travel through space by himself again.

“Thank you. I’ll be right back.”

Henrietta gave a confused nod and watched Seth vanish from her sight. She was aware of him departing for their world, but she chose not to follow him and let herself drift through space aimlessly, waiting for him to return.

Seth arrived in a dark room, illuminated only by the eerie, blood-red sun hovering a few inches above a pedestal. When Seth arrived, blood seeped out of the sun, creating Elise’s physical form.

“You won?” asked Elise with a smile.

"You could say that," Seth answered, a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Elise noticed the furrow between his eyebrows and she asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing much. I just want to confirm something, but that would require I touch your core for a moment. May I?” said Seth with a sigh.

Elise raised an eyebrow, perplexed by Seth's strange behavior, but still let the sun leave her chest and hover before him..

Seth extended his hand forward, gently grabbing the Blood Sun and closing his eyes.

‘System, what do you think?’ asked Seth.

<The core’s structure matches that of a voidling from The Outside. Your conclusions are most likely right. The voidlings are most likely outsiders who were consumed by Fenrir after the cycle ended. With the cycle restarting, most voidlings were transformed just like the rest of the world. I might be a creation of this world, using Outsider principles, but Elise is most likely a voidling caught in the cycle and reborn as a horror. >

Seth nodded, letting go of the Sun and allowing it to hover back toward Elise. After noticing the frown on his face, Elise asked, “Is there something wrong with my core?”

Seth shook his head and didn’t answer her question, thinking momentarily before sitting on a chair in the room and sighing. “Elise, the world is ending.”

“Huh?” exclaimed Elise in surprise. “You got that from my core?”

“No. That was just something I had to check.” said Seth with a shake of his head. “I found out recently that the world will end in about a hundred years, and I can’t stop it.”

Seeing the serious expression on Seth’s face, Elise sat down and asked, “How could…? Weren’t you from the future? Like eons into the future? I don’t understand.”

“I am, but that’s the time of the simulation. The threat is coming from the universe outside the simulation, and the changes in the simulations have barely any impact on it,” said Seth with a sigh.

“So… we’re dead?” asked Elise.

“Haha, not really. I have a way of preserving myself and my wives. That’s why I came to see you. Would you like to come along with us?”

Elise frowned and asked, “You wouldn’t be beating around the bush like this if it were so simple.”

“It is not. To allow others to survive alongside me, I’ll need to absorb everyone inside the inner world created by my space source as I break out of existence using my divinity. To bring you along, you’ll need to have a soul.”

“Can you tell me why that is?” asked Elise, lowering her head.

“I can’t,” said Seth, shaking his head. That would imply revealing the truth of her existence, which Seth didn’t want to.

Elise nodded in understanding and said, “Give me some time. Come see me before it happens, and I’ll give you my answer then.”

“Alright,” said Seth, standing up. Before leaving, he placed a hand on Elise’s shoulder and said, “I hope you’ll decide to accept…”

Seth left Elise in her room with her reflections and reappeared in front of Henrietta, asking her to let him into her space divinity so he could see the others.

Henrietta brought Seth into her divinity, then closed her eyes and let her consciousness drift within her divinity as well, joining Seth and the rest.

Maya gave Seth a stern talking to when he got there, and after finally calming her down with many promises, Seth told his wives and Razim what had happened. He informed them of Fenrir's true body awakening, the end of the world, and his own plan for survival.

After Seth gave them the full picture, he explained they would spend the next hundred years in the simulation and then leave just before Fenrir awoke. No one objected, despite finding Seth’s decision to delay their departure strange.

Seth spent some time with each of his wives for the following days, even placing a lust mark on Razim before leaving Henrietta’s space along with everyone. He went back to Endora and made an announcement to the ascended that were expecting their departure into the great outside, informing them that the journey to the outside world would be postponed for an additional hundred years.

As the world celebrated the war's ending and the success of Endora in conquering the simulation, Seth and Tiana appeared next to Katy, who was still sleeping deep under Endora’s capital.

As soon as Seth saw the cocoon again, with his newfound understanding, he could comprehend the true nature of the seed growing inside her. An incomplete chaos seed.

Carrying the flame divinity taken from Dukbium out of his storage, Seth sighed and mumbled, “So this is the last piece of the puzzle…”

Tiana, standing beside Seth, looked at the fire divinity with awe, her heart pounding with anticipation. Seth could easily feel Tiana’s emotions through the lust link and didn’t delay any longer, removing the seal on the fire divinity.

Just as the divinity was about to take off, Seth snickered and flicked his hand, a wave of destructive energy flooding over it. He didn’t care about not injuring the Fire will anymore. Seth’s destruction energy quickly weakened the fire will inside.

The divinity was about to be dispersed into energy when Seth exclaimed, “Tiana, take it into your soul.”

Tiana wasted no time absorbing the fire divinity inside her soul, and Lust used her energy to stabilize it. Seth also used his destruction energy as a way of avoiding any crowning phenomena from occurring.

After not even ten minutes, Tiana opened her eyes, which glowed an intense, fiery red flame and smiled brightly.

"Welcome to the ranks of divinity," Seth said, his voice full of joy, which prompted Tiana to rush up to him and embrace him from behind. “Thank you, master.”

Seth nodded and said, “It’s time to wake Katy up. I’m going to use the lust link to extract a part of the fire will inside your divinity. Don’t fight back.”

Tiana nodded and separated from Seth, shortly falling to her knees with a flushed expression. Seth’s lust energy kept washing over her body, extracting the fire will traces and feeding it inside Katy’s cocoon.

Seth ignored the passionate moans behind him as he kept his eyes trained on the cocoon, his vision fixed on any unusual movements. After hours of waiting, the cocoon cracked apart and peel away, revealing Katy’s unchanged visage.

Tiana lay on the ground, clothes replaced by a handful of ashes and a blissful expression painted across her ruddy face.

‘How is it lust?’ asked Seth in worry.

‘The seed is complete, Seth. You can extract it.’

Seth nodded and placed a hand on Katy’s abdomen, using his space energy to remove the seed growing into her womb. After removing it, a mass of chaos energy in spherical form appeared inside Seth’s hand.

‘So this is what a seed of chaos looks like… How long until it awakens?’ asked Seth.

‘You can awaken it anytime using the system, but all we need to not fade away is its existence. Awakening is unnecessary.’

Seth asked the system to connect to the seed, and lines of text appeared in his vision.

<Seed of Chaos.>
<Status: inactive>
<Administrators: Katy, Seth>
<World Creation Options>
<World Moderation Options>

Seth chuckled and asked, ‘And how am I to explain to Katy that she gave birth to a world seed?’

‘Once activated, it will grow and develop how you want it to, but it will bear a world will of its own as well. There’s not much difference between it and an actual child.’

‘Have you ever seen a child, lust?’ asked Seth with a laugh, moving his hand to caress Katy’s face. ‘A human giving birth to an entire world.’

Feeling Seth’s touch, Katy’s eyebrows fluttered, and she opened her eyes, looking around in confusion. When her eyes landed on Seth, the confusion on her face melted away and was replaced by a loving gaze. “Seth..”

“I’m here. Good morning, Katy.”

Katy’s face suddenly filled with fear as she sat up from the bed, her hand flying to her stomach. “The baby!”

Seth let out a long sigh and grasped her hand tightly, providing a reassuring touch.

“Don’t worry. Our child is fine, but there are some things I must explain to you…”
