Last Wish System-Chapter 593: An Ancient Story

"Then, we can forget using the Time Divinity..."

Yale was quite sad since he liked the Time Divinity a lot, but since only one could reach Kroh's level with one Divinity and people at that level couldn't die, it meant that once someone reached it, no one else would be able to do it.

"Don't be sad. It is only that you can't use it to reach my level, but as a Divinity, if it becomes a True Divinity, its strength would still be great. It is just that you won't be able to use the True Time Divinity to make the final breakthrough."

Even Kroh didn't know exactly the difference between before and after the breakthrough since there had never been someone else to compare, but Kroh didn't have the feeling that the difference was too great. The main point was that the flaw of a True God was solved.

In fact, sometimes Kroh believed that the only difference was solving that flaw, but there was no way to confirm it. At the same time, Kroh felt that it would be too boring if that was true and just believed that once there was someone else to compare, the differences would be easy to see.

Kroh always had the same problem since no one reached even the Minor Time Divinity. If it wasn't because others noticed that True Divinities existed, Kroh would have still believed that there wasn't any change to the Great Time Divinity. Kroh wouldn't have even considered that the Time Divinity had levels if it wasn't because other Divinities had them.

"Well, the True Time Divinity sounds strong enough. The problem is how to reach it. Obtaining Great Divinities don't seem a great problem, just a matter of time, but I have no idea about how to obtain True Divinities."

When having a Minor Divinity or a Divinity, Yale could feel that there was a stronger level, but he couldn't feel anything with Great Divinities. If it wasn't because of the True Dimensional Divinity, he wouldn't believe that the level existed.

Alrein didn't speak, but he was also curious about that point.

"There are three ways to obtain a True Divinity. One of them is impossible for you two since it is only available to those born directly as Gods, or more exactly Great Gods. We are born with a Great Divinity and being Great Gods, but our Great Divinity becomes a Ture Divinity naturally without the need to make any effort. No one noticed it until other lifeforms started to obtain Divinities."

That method was also something that would only work with the Great Divinity that the Great God was born with, so it couldn't be used to train other Divinities.

"The second one is the one that you two used, being the first in obtaining a Divinity. This doesn't have any effect on the original Divinity of those born as Great Gods, but in the end, the effect is the same since the breakthrough is guaranteed."

Obtaining a new Divinity wasn't something easy and rarely happened, it was already an irregularity that Alrein and Yale obtained one.

After all, most Divinities had already appeared in some universe in the past. Obtaining new Divinities had been easy on ancient times when, besides naturally born Great Gods, there weren't any other types of Gods, but after so many years, the chances lowered to the point that it was considered almost impossible.

"The third one is the simplest. You only need to train until getting it, but you need to be a True God first. True Gods have a great flaw, but the possibility of obtaining several True Divinities is a great temptation."

True Gods were far more powerful than Great Gods mainly because of the existence of True Divinities, but most of them wouldn't be able to survive if they were surrounded by several thousand Great Gods due to the flaw of the level, so they were rather low-key despite their enormous power.

"I guess that I will need to advance to True God after all. With my True Miracle Divinity, the flaw shouldn't be a problem at all, and obtaining more True Divinities sounds great."

Since Yale had returned and his universe wasn't in danger anymore, Alrein didn't have to worry about doing something suicidal like forcing physical time travel, so there was no need to fear that flaw.

"If you two don't have more questions, there is still something I want to tell you. It is a story of ancient times, and it has some relationship with you two."

Yale and Alrein knew that when Kroh spoke about ancient times, the meaning was that the story was far more ancient than they two.

Thus, they didn't know how it was related to them, but Kroh replied to their questions, so they nodded and started to listen.

"As you know, I was born as a Great God. People like me like to consider that we were born from the void since we are unsure of our own origins. At that time, after I started to exist, I just drifted among the nothingness for who knows how much time. I was bored, but I didn't know what to do until other Great Gods found me."

Great God, Kroh couldn't even remember the moment when his memories started since everything had been monotone for too much time.

"Those who found me were Great Gods that have gathered tired of being alone. Of course, at that time, we didn't call ourselves Great Gods, that concept didn't even exist since we were the only living beings. We all were proficient in something different, which made that we enjoyed battling among ourselves. After I joined them and they discovered that I could nullify the effects of a battle, they were quite happy. After all, that was our only way to escape from boredom."

They didn't have any objective in their lives, nor knew why they existed. If they haven't been Great gods, they would have gone crazy far before meeting anyone else.

"One day, a member of our group who was the one who mainly healed others before I joined proposed creating lifeforms ourselves instead of continuing spending the eternity looking for more existence like us. She later was known as the Life Goddess. It was thanks to her idea that we started trying, but nothing could survive where we were. That was the moment we decided to create what you know as universes. Places where other living forms were able to survive."

Although Kroh could remember everything as if just happened, there were traces of nostalgy on Kroh's eyes.

"The Life Goddess was the one who owned the first universe, although we all helped her. She was also the one who created the living beings. Most weren't intelligent, but the intelligent ones she created looked a lot like us. Humans, like you two. The problem was that even humans had quite short lifespans, so the Life Goddess needed to give them the capability to reproduce themselves like she did with the non-intelligent beings."

It wasn't that Gods looked like humans; the humans were the ones looking like the Gods.

Naturally born Gods didn't have any need to reproduce due to their unlimited lifespans, but humans no matter how similar they looked to Gods, they had a very limited lifespan, so reproduction was necessary.

"This is also the reason for even other kinds of living being taking forms similar to a human when obtaining intelligence and increasing their strength. They are transforming their appearances into ones more similar to us, naturally born Gods, rather than looking like humans."

It wasn't a coincidence that among all the universes Yale visited, most of the people had a human-like appearance even if there were minor differences.

"Later, we all started to create more universes, but the one truly proficient at creating life was the Life Goddess, so we let it to her. No matter to who belonged the universe, we collaborated with each other each time. Everything turned more interesting with those universes. Mortals even started to investigate how to increase their lifespan, and one day immortals appeared. That was also when we were started to be called Gods. However, it wasn't until the first time that an immortal became a God that we noticed that Gods had different levels. That was also the time we created the Council of Gods. The multiverse had grown too high, and some rules were needed, although the Council of Gods has changed a lot since then."

Kroh sighed before continuing.

"As Great Gods started to appear from those born as mortals, we noticed that our Divinities were a level higher than the Great Divinities owned by the mortals, and we called them True Divinities since we were the original Gods. Then, we also thought about the existence of True Gods and started trying to reach that level. I was the first one, the second was the Life Goddess, and the third one was the Death God, followed by several more. However, at that time, neither of us knew about that flaw of True Gods as more True Gods started to appear among our friends."

Regret appeared on Kroh's face.

"After the breakthroughs started, we were all eager to test our new power, so battles happened. Although we never meant to kill each other, we knew that as long as the soul was fine, the body didn't matter. That knowledge was what provoked the Gods Calamity, where more than half of the original Great Gods died."
