Chapter 2 - Defective?

"Ugh, where am I, jeez it's so dark, oh I'm fluent again, oh it's english, but still I'm able to talk fluently again, eh but where am I, no, more importantly, how is secr-", the room suddenly turned bright blue

"Enough" a loud monotone voice came from every direction cutting him off

"*sigh*, humans sure are noisy, especially when meeting the unknown."

"Oh I understand, this must be heaven, haha of course that was just a 'before death dream thing and you are a god, but shouldn't this room be white? why is it blue ah whatever, say though am I gonna go to hell or heaven?"

"Neither....I'm very sure you were a quiet person, what happened here."

"Hey that's not nice, I'm actually a very active person, except it's only in my head. Well, you could say I like to monologue and since in here my thought and my mouth can't be separated, it's like this. Wait, no hell or heaven?"

A yellow glowing humanoid appears in front of him. "Say your preferences, a kid, an adult, or a teenager as well as the gender"

"What is this? afterlife service? and why no oldies?"

"First of all I'm going to explain things to a weak and sensitive human, second, this is not an afterlife service, and third, I don't like to be one. Now choose"

"Teenager, woman"

The yellow humanoid turns into a teen girl about 18 years old with a plain face and body, "you sure respond that one quickly, maybe I made human's libido too high", she said.

"Thanks for the compliment, now I can call you goddess... uh, can't you be more beautiful?"

"I didn't give you an option for that and never will", the room turned into a classroom.

"Hey uh I'm not a schoolboy"

"Don't protest, I'm the landlord here"

"No sht"

"First let me explain what you experienced earlier-"

"Me me, it must be one of that 'otherworld' things right, I just recalled reading many of those when I'm still in highsch-", He suddenly can't speak anymore.

"Maybe we should start with an introduction, I am Aion, a god"

"See I'm right!", He thought.

"One of my power is to read the mind, so make sure I don't silence your thought too"

"..."

"I am the god of the cycle, life, and death, those which have cycle is within my grasp. Long ago, this power is so powerful that my authority used to be the second highest of all gods, well we're not greedy like you humans who will do anything to achieve everything you want, we simply do things as what we are meant to be, its been like that for trillions of years, we were the ruler of the universe, and our power is not limited to one entity but instead able to separate and cover everywhere almost infinitely"

"as expected from a god", He thought.

"Let's get to the problem here, ten thousand years ago, one of us suddenly-"

"Attacked blindly, killing many of us and everyone is finding a way to defeat him.. oh no, sorry it's a natural thought, please don't silence my thought :(", He thought.

"I won't, because that's not entirely wrong, except for attacking blindly and finding a way to defeat him", she said while sitting on the teacher's desk.

"The rest is right, many of us were killed, technically gods are eternal, but we can be erased if we are deemed not necessary by the ultimate god, although it's called the ultimate god, it's actually a database of rules, the rule of physics you know is one of them, and we gods are the embodiment of them, the more rules that god was made of, the more powerful they are, a god-like god of chemistry, god of physics, god of life are the example of weak ones and their authority are usually low, despite being low, they are still respected as the higher leveled gods won't exist without them. I will let you speak once, just to answer me, which god had defected?"

"...."

"Of course, you don't know-"

"God of death", He answered with a smug grin on his face.

"How are you-"

"Oh don't compliment me that will make me embarrassed", He said while doing a weird pose.

"How are you so stupid?"

"haha- what?", He had a surprised face.

"What can a god of death do to another god which can't die?", she said with a face saying "foolish human".

"How can a god make an expression like that", He thought before realizing what he had done, "oh sorry o almighty Aeon"

"It's Aion"

"Please don't kill me again, it was painful"

"I won't, I still need you anyway"

"Ah, that's it that I wanted to ask, why am I transmigrated?"

"Before that, I might as well finish what I was talking about earlier, the name of the god that defected was 'god of system', Genesis.

"As what I have said before, the one that created us was the ultimate god, which is a rule or system, and if you are asking how mighty it is, it's the most powerful god and honestly it was also the most important and the closest to the ultimate god, but it's not always Genesis that's the god of system, as I've said we are able to separate our own existence, and that every existence, although connected to us, also have a consciousness themselves, it's how gods cycle, it's impossible to live for millions let alone trillions of years in the same consciousness, that's why it's necessary. Truthfully, it wasn't even time for the god of the system to change."

"Then why didn't he stop him? the original god of the system should be stronger than his... clones, right?"

"Not a bad idea, but then what? a single avatar takes charge of billions of superclusters, one lacks god, and that whole section will regress.

"Gods are forbidden from regressing a single civilization that's why we can't do anything about it"

"Alright I got it....most of it, so can we get back to my question of 'why am I transmigrated?' thing?", He is excited about all the big revelations.

"I was bored."

"Huh?"

"Ever since Genesis started influencing the ultimate god, gods are forbidden to interact with any civilizations and world. We are not allowed to help or to interfere with anything, we are only here to provide our laws but not to change or you would say 'bless'. We also couldn't interact with our subjects, and all we can do is do monologue like you always did.", she whined.

"Hold on, did Genesis ever do something bad?"

"What do you mean by 'something bad'? is this not bad enough? as gods, we really want to interact with worlds that use our law! Genesis also forbids the creation of an avatar and instead makes our existence and law cover the entire universe, he does what he likes and doesn't care whether it's necessary or not."

"...

"He... isn't a bad guy"

"What? now you're on his side?"

"Noo, I mean it's not like he made apocalypse everywhere?"

"Why would the destruction of a particular world affect gods? In a sense, it's even my natural law"

"See, you're the bad guy"

"..."
