My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death

-----

Over time, the young man's research and his regained memory fragments led him to a conclusion that could be said to be extremely wicked. As he was detached to his own humanity and saw this entire world as just a playground for him to see beasts and humans fight, he decided to move forward. Without having even developed any attachment with his parents, or anybody within his own tribe, he create new spells, and in secrecy, utilized dozens of people as sacrifices, starting a strange ritual that connected him to another Realm.

His plans were simple, using the knowledge he acquired, he would use the power of this other realm to find a way towards the worlds that the strange stone showed to him, these worlds which he felt so strangely connected with. He had done many rituals before, attempting to channel the stone's cosmic powers in an attempt to communicate with such worlds, each time he did, another "him" answered, a version of his own soul fragmented apart and sent into another world.

A strange and bizarre thing, which slowly made him realize that to find his true self and revive, he had to open a gate to these worlds, and bring these fragments of his soul to him once more. He grew more desperate and obsessed with becoming "whole". These fragments, who were just as desperate as he was continued moving on their own ways, as they all together plotted a way to get together once more.

Although none of them had complete memories of who they were, they knew that they had once fought against somebody that ended breaking them apart, that somebody was defeated and sealed by them, but at the end, they ended losing as well as they were broken apart and scattered through the cosmos, ending in various worlds across the universe…

Attempting to acquire the powers of the Outer Realm Gods as a way to figure out methods to travel to other worlds or even open gates to other worlds, he summoned an entity from there, making him his servant and giving him a body made of many beasts and human sacrifices, the monstrous outer god took over this avatar as he talked to the young man, revealing him the truth about the power of traveling across worlds, and even giving him information about everything he needed.

In exchange, his other selves from other worlds promised this entity to open a gate to the Outer Realm, allowing the kin of this Outer God to finally attempt a new invasion into the Universe… However, on his attempt at accumulating enough malice by slaughtering humans using the power of the giant demon, he was stopped by the one that has been looking over him and constantly attempting to stop him, the Goddess of Beasts.

"Curse you, goddess of beasts…!"

As his demon was defeated by the goddess, sealed away by her own soul and powers, the young man cursed her, realizing he was no longer a young man, as a long time has gone by on his research, and despite having a strong soul and incredible power, his body was that of a mere human, and grew older accordingly.

<br/>He hurriedly made descendants with a woman from his original tribe that was always in love with him since childhood, and before dying, he transferred his soul and consciousness into one of his youngest, healthiest, and most talented sons. Like this, and over time, he revived himself through thousands of years, constantly living as new people, while continuously seeking knowledge, resources, and the power to open the gates to his other selves.

Despite the many years that passed, he never gave up. An unwavering and admirable soul that constantly sought the truth across the ages. He saw human lives as fleeting and meaningless, and continued to seek his own strength on his own ways. He personified many people, princesses, queens, kings, emperors, wandering bards, teachers at school, and even after gathering so many memories with so many people, he never could see any redeemable quality in humans.

They were just as meaningless as they always were, always seeking stupid feelings, admiring emotions as if they were trophies, and believing that their short lives had da meaning in simply being happy…

"Foolish humans… Your lives are pointless."

He had done what he did in the past merely for his own survival, but now that he saw a world at "peace" he couldn't help but believe that at the end, the one that won this battle was the Goddess of Beasts. A world where both beasts and humans lived in harmony and peace was finally achieved, just as she wanted…

The goddess of this world won, while the boy with the soul of a foreign from this world lost. At the end, he only sought power, and for that, he slowly collected her soul fragments. Over thousands of years, he captured each person, killing them and taking out their souls, gathering them together in an altar, as he amassed their power for his ultimate goal, reviving the demon so he would be able to acquire enough power to extinguish humanity and the beasts, gain enough power through their souls and the Malice created, and use this power to open the gates.

Over time, however, he found new powers along the way, and the Time Stone as well, a mysterious item he had been seeking for thousands of years which ended in the hands of a random noble… Now that he finally had everything he needed, he could go beyond that and immediately open the gates by invoking the power of the demon and using the many fragments of the goddess…

The one that ended ruining his plans, the goddess, ended becoming the one that would help him achieve them after thousands of years, how ironic…

The Emperor recalled all those memories with a smirk. He put the two stones over the altar, the Cosmic Stone, and the Time Stone, as he infused gigantic quantities of power into them. Countless runes quickly activated at the same time, as the demon finally began to awaken.

"After so long… I will finally be able to begin."
