Tournament of the Gods

Kenpachi Criyop's past III

Kredek could feel his body trembling, even though he had eliminated Jingrax, him thinking of what the future had in store for him really scared him. "How can I possibly get out of this situation?" He muttered to himself. "I have been in so many tough scrapes before but this is on another level, fighting General Lkopmi that was the reason I started the gentle beings squad, General Lkopmi is known for being a tyrant, like Jingrax, he sees the beings they have created as nothing more than playthings by their creator, I was hoping I would first get people I could control under my faction, then later, we would grow until we became a force strong enough to challenge Lkopmi but now, not only is my life now in complete danger but I have completely lost everyone," Kredek thought as he slumped to the ground. "Is this really how I am fated to die?"

"Kredekarioplifbaosnhakaoanbbdknwjsgmwlaojhnqkoanb....(the name goes on for about fifteen septendecillion more words so it will be skipped to go to the surname) Criyop,"

As Kredek heard his name, he turned towards the direction of the voice, lying on the ground in the place where former members of the gentle beings were slaughtered laid a 20D being who had taken the form of a 6'2 tall blonde man with blue eyes, there was a blade sticking out of his chest, the color on his body was gradually disappearing.

"Dishra!!!" Kredek exclaimed as he moved towards his friend but upon noticing that his friend was losing color, he staggered back in disappointment. "His body is losing vitality and vigour, it must be his life force, it's being drained off, he's supposed to have died moments ago but he delibrately held on till now, there must be a reason why."

Dishra smiled as he struggled to get to his feet, he made a few trials but he kept slumping to the ground every time. "Dishra," Kredek said. "We have been together for as long as I can remember, your life force has since faded off, it hurts me to say this but I wish there's something I could do but there's nothing..."

"Kredek," Dishra smiled. "What's with you now? I thought you once told me so long any creature has will, he can never ever die, true death isn't when a creature has his life force drained or slumps to an eternal slumber, true death is when you lose your will to live so even at death, if you still posses your will, you are not yet dead, the will of a man, the dreams of the age, the determination of the mind, those are things that will forever live on no matter what happens to it's carriers, every creature born no matter the dimensional hierarchy are nothing more but carriers of a will and dreams, once a Carrier loses sight of whatever he carries, then has he failed but so long you have the will to hold on to your dream and you are determined to see it go through no matter what, then shall you live forever as part of that dream and will, even if you can't accomplish it in your lifetime, more carriers shall rise up until that dream is fulfilled, that's how it has been and how it's always going to be," Dishra said with a kind smile as he now got to his feet. Kredek could feel his eyes going red as a tear streamed down from his left eye. "That's the first time since Sandra that I ever saw you cry," Dishra grinned. "Kredek, no matter how powerful or wise a man might be, in order for him to achieve his goals, he must always have an anchorage, that's why all our creations are done interdependently, at least, the ones with lives, life on most planets either triumph with the use of a star, dark matter or dark energy, nothing can thrive without another, that's why before anything can exist, there would be an observer and the observed."

"Are you trying to say you are going to be with me?" Kredek asks wiping off the tear which dropped from his lefe eye.

"I would want nothing more than that but as you might have observed, the last attack completely drained me of all my life force but there's somebody I know..."

"Don't tell me Sandra, you always keep mentioning that name, it's just what I use to name my most favorite of every specie I create, there's nothing more to it, why won't you just accept that?"

"Because that's not the truth and of what use is living if it's devoid of the truth, it's the truth that gives life meaning, though it might be hard or unpleasant to take in but the truth is always the meaning behind every life form, it's the truth that causes organisms to understand why everything is the way it is, without any knowledge of the truth, organisms would forever be primitive and retarded, nothing can evolve without the truth, the truth is the main catalyst for evolution, it's because a bird understands the truth behind it's wings and the wind that it can fly, because an animal knows the truth behind it's legs that it can walk or run, the truth is indeed what gives life it's meaning so a life devoid of the truth is vacuous and purposeless," Dishra continued as he made his way towards Kredek. "And as my friend, I refuse to have you ignorant of the truth, before we both came on this voyage and realized that we wanted to change the relationship of creators to creation, there was one of your creatures whom you got excited by, it's because of the time you spent with her, what you learnt, what the two of you spoke about, the merry times you had, the sorrows you shared that made you revolt against the set-down standards and caused you to want to change all of it."

"You are wrong about that," Kredek said. "I remember why I became like this, it was because I was observing life from other creations and when I saw the cruel treatment, I decided it needed to be stopped, hence why I came to meet you as you are my one and only friend..."

"That's because that's what you wanted to believe," Dishra began. "If you stick with a lie for too long and there is no seemingly opposing notion, it becomes the truth, if all life believes that they just came out of the blue and no creator tries to show them that wasn't the case, then it becomes their truth, but just because something is your truth doesn't make it the truth, that's why so many go on journeys, quests and discoveries to find out the real truth because until the real truth is found, your dreams can never be fulfilled," as Dishra said that, he got to Kredek's position, putting his two arms on his shoulders, he coughs as he even had a kinder smile on his face. "Even though you are the wisest one I know, you can be quite foolish at times, just like the time you requested that I wiped out every memory of Sandra Kane from your head, that was the most foolish thing you ever did," As Dishra spoke, his two arms enveloped a greenish orange light.

"Again, stop spitting such absurdi..." Before Kredek could finish his sentence, Dishra laid his light-enveloped arms on Kredek's head. Kredek was frozen in his position as different memory frames rushed to his head, he remembered everything and what brought it all to be.

"Now, I can see you are regaining your memories," Dishra smiled. "You wanted to achieve your goals but you felt if you were ever confronted with an opposition and they could see that your darling wife and son was the reason you had gone on this quest, they might capture them and use them to even blackmail you, you believed a man is strong because his weakness is unknown but you were wrong, Sarah and Kenpachi Kane were not your weakness, no, they are your greatest strength, they are the reason for your newfound will and ignited dreams, that's why without your memory of them, you were having doubts because there was nothing to hold on to as the Gentle being squad was done, when a creature has no anchorage in pursuing his dream, his will and passion dies, that's why in order to hold on to our will and to chase what we so passionately desire, there must always be something we have that we can hold on to, something to keep us standing no matter the adversity that stands our way and never see that anchorage as weakness, hell f*****g no, they are your greatest strength," Dishra now had the most joyful smile on his face as spoke his last words.  "The will of a man, the dream of the age, the determination of the passionate-hearted, those are things that will never ever fade away, they shall live on for all eternity," his entire body completely vanished, his body becoming nothing more than specs of dust as he vanished into the great beyond.

Kredek stood frozen on his spot as tears fell down his eyes. "The reason why I fought all these times was because of you, Dishra.  You were the one who agreed with my prospects and when I saw you were so passionate about it, I felt it was the right thing and that moment when Jingrax brought those 22D beings who killed everyone, I was actually in despair thinking all I had been doing was for naught," Kredek brought his head low. "But I know I have been wrong all these time, every man needs a shoulder to cry on, a soul to rely on as really without someone else, in the midst of opposition, there is a limit to what one can do, it's not enough to be determined to accomplish your will, one also can't afford to be alone, in unity, there is an unknown strength which can't be found through any other means."

Kredek thought as he raised his arm, he connected it to the emptiness before him, as he did, he caused a singularity which began to rip through the time-space continuum of the space where he was.   "The archverse where I currently reside in is a pentataverse, a 150D plane which contains a nested set of smaller complex and fully formed archverses ranging all the way from 1D planes to as high as 149D planes each being infinite in magnitude and size, majority of the 3D planes also known as universes were created by 5D to 20D beings, a universe is limitless in size, mass, matter and magnitude as it constantly expands but beyond the Universe are now megaverses, gigaverses, petaverses, zettaverses, xennaverses, ocsaraverses, ensaraverses  each getting more complex and transcending even the concept of infinity itself, planes like that are created by beings with higher dimensional hierarchy as they are far too intricate, convoluted and tortuous that most beings even of high dimensional hierarchy can't begin to begin to fathom it and what a being can't understand, he can't create," Kredek continued, the space which he had punched began to expand as if it was sucking from the environment where Kredek stood which was an amazement as Kredek stood in a void, he was surrounded by nothingness.  "Lucky for me, this pentataverse is but an infinitesimal fraction that exists within even the most complex and developed cosmological structure, the Omniverse, the woman I fell in love with existed within a Universe in another archverse, a megaverse to be precise also known as a 6D plane, I have a goal to ensure there's a beautiful and lovely relationship between every Creator and creation but for now, I have to find out why exactly I kept treading on this path as I will need all the strength I can gather to keep moving forward, Dishra did send me memories but it was in mere fragments, all I remember was the smile of a woman and the cries of an unborn child, I have to find them and speak with them, it's all for the greater good, all life must be allowed to have a choice as it's withe the existence of choice that will is born and meaning can never be known in life without will, I still have my same goals that I have from the very start and I will stop at nothing until it's achieved," Kredek finished, as he spoke, the space where he had created had already become a small sized hole which was only big enough for the average pigeon to enter through.  "This is why I hate travelling from one selected archverse to another, the energy required to breach a wall from another archverse to another is directly dependent on the dimensional hierarchy of the archverse one is transporting himself from, the archverse here is one of 150D plane, as a result, the energy to transcend to another is extremely high, I have used the life force of all my brethen, Jingrax Kleenex and even the hoodlums which he brought alongside and yet the bridge created is very miniscule and fragile as even a 2D being would collapse the bridge while trying to pass through it as even neglecting the size, the dimensional stability and energy it contains is diminutive, only a 1D being can successfully pass through it without destroying it but that's not much of a problem," Kredek now had a smile on his face.  "Once a being is 5D and above, he is able to create, manipulate and destroy souls and spirits as he so wishes, the condition for all these inter-archversal portals is the life force resonating within a soul and the energy level of a spirit, the higher the dimensional hierarchy of a being is, the more complex their life resonance and Spirit energy, the portal can't let anything without life force or spirit energy to pass through neither can it let anything above a certain amount of life force or Spirit energy to pass through," Kredek said as he snaps his fingers, a formless and colorless creature looking like an amoeba but the size of a small tennis ball suddenly materializes in front of him, as it did, Kredek attached a pamphlet on the creature, it had strange runes drawn on it, when he had done that, he stepped back, the creature then moved towards the portal and slowly but surely, it began to glide through bit by bit into the oval-shaped portal, after about a while, the creature was finally able to make it's way inside the portal completely.   "Splendid," Kredek smiled and as he did, he vanished and right where he once stood, the formless creature he had created now occupied it.

Kredek looked around, he appeared in a city, he could see cars flying about in the sky, there were different drones and other metallic flying objects that he couldn't identify moving about, there were various complex structures and massively high-tech buildings, there were humans walking with robots, there were also cyborgs, humans with bionics and even animals such as lions, tigers and various exotic wildlife moving about.   "This is strange," Kredek thought to himself.  "From the memories Dishra sent to me, the setting of this location in this Universe is supposed to be that of a village and I could feel it deep down that the memory was not a dud, after all, there was no way I could be given such wrong coordinates," Kredek immediately regained his composure as he raised his right arm, as he did, the particles in the air began to gather around his arm.  "It's just as I suspected, the reason for all of this is much simpler, beings of higher dimensional hierarchy can manipulate reality as they desire in lower dimensions, even a 3D being can alter reality with it's mind if it finds itself in a 1D plane but when reality is altered by means of dimensional manipulation, be it reality, molecules, matter, soul, blood, spirit, energy or anything whatsoever that was manipulated so long it conforms to existence itself, there's always this trace that's left amongst whatever that is manipulated that always contains the spirit energy of it's manipulator, right now, the wavelength of the spirit energy that I am sensing in the particles in the air closely resembles mine meaning that it's someone who's related to me that created this newfound reality, possibly the boy that I saw in the memories Dishra showed me...."

Kredek was interrupted from thinking as he kept hearing his name over and over again, he looked in the direction of the voice which had been calling him and as he did, he felt tears streaming down from both his eyes, standing a few feet from his position was a 168cm tall blonde woman, she had small auburn eyes, spotless skin and she was dressed in a skimpy flowery dress which brought out her colour and made her look dazzling, Kredek could identify this woman, it was the same woman he had seen in the memories that Dishra had sent to him, his wife from another reality, it was Sandra Kane.

"Kredek!!!" the woman cried, the way she cried out his name showed she had been shouting for quite a while.

"This is unexpected," Kredek began careful not to stutter or sound faltered.  "I have never been in a situation like this, I don't know how I am...." Before he could complete his sentence, Sarah had already gotten over to where he was as she locked him in a tight and tearful hug, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"It's definitely you," she said.  "You are the only one who talks like that, you left me here for over 17 years, you said something about trying to right the wrongs of other creators in other archverses, you promised you'd be back as soon as possible and I have to say for those past 17 years you are gone, it wasn't easy without you, I have missed you," Sandra said as she broke away from the hug.  "I really love you," Sandra said as she now pouted her lips as if she wanted to kiss him.

"It doesn't add up," Kredek thought.  "If the memories of Dishra was correct, the megaverse I stand upon, a verse of a finite number of 6D planes each containing scores and dozens of lower dimensional planes embedded in them, some which are incomprehensible in magnitude and mass, this was actually all created by me and knowing myself, I know I would have constructed the time flow with most archversal time-set standards meaning that since I didn't try and alter this reality, at least, seven hundred millenniums should have passed from that time but how come I am hearing something different, in fact, how is Sandra Kane still alive?"

Kredek broke out of his thoughts as he realized Sandra was frozen in her position, he looked around, it appeared the same had occured for everything and everyone around him, stretching his hands, he felt the air particles and he could feel a reimbursement of the spirit energy he had felt on it earlier, as if to confirm his suspicion, he heard a voice behind him.

"You must be Dad," the voice came, Kredek turned towards the direction of the voice, it was a 6'5 tall male, he had long curly black hair and green emerald eyes, he was dressed as a goth and looked really annoyed.
