Ball of Nothing Chapter 25 Memory Fragment 6

Chapter 25 Memory Fragment 6

The scene played out very differently in the last memory. Instead of viewing the memory and having a load of information crammed into my head, the information was preloaded or unlocked the moment the memory fragment was used.
Firstly, I wasn't the Great One. I was merely the shell of what I was. An empty one who evolved by consuming the energy around. It's a sad reality but the gamble I made in the past paid off. The theory worked but at a price.
Secondly, I found out that my past self had a form. It was a sphere of darkness that held many things. In fact, it held everything. It was a ball of everything and was the only true existence of this place.
Thirdly, my reason for existing was partially answered. I had to see the world my past self created and right the wrongs. Of the many creations, there were some that my past self created without knowing the consequences. Some of those divine entities brought nothing but trouble and the power balance of the world was upset by the constant war between the two camps. Some divine entities like Duu and the three sisters decided to remain hidden. Others like Kale, Venn and Gugu were actively participating in the war created by their initial disagreement.
Basically, war between gods, humans and all other living things happened due to the divine entities. They didn't agree with each other and weren't stronger than one another so they decided to settle their fights by borrowing other species that my past self created.
Initially, they created avatars from their wills and thus gods were born. Gods who could not gather enough power to fight each other created demigods and then those demigods created humans as human souls were cheap but had great potential.
Demigods came in many forms. Some as angels, some as demons, some as fairies, mermaids, goblins and spirits so it was hard to name them all. Watered down demigod descendants were like elves, gnomes, dwarves and half-beasts. The watered down generations between demigod descendants and humans possessed magical powers and amazing physical properties. They are often recruited by these divine existences and gods to fight on their behalves.
That led to the destruction of the first planet when all the races died in an all out war using magic. However, over time the normal humans started repopulating the planet and learned from the mistakes of their ancestors. They gave up believing in gods and magic. Instead, they focused on technology and their own strength. This strong united belief of humans created a god of their own that is not a power of my past self or any divine entities.
That was the newbie god who disturbed my slumber.
Apparently, something went wrong on the human planet leading to a complete destruction. The god created by humans grieved over it and decided to bring all the souls of humans to a new planet away from the influence of divine entities. However, the other gods saw it and started to prey on this new planet, influencing the humans with their teachings.
Infuriated, the newbie god left. Nobody knew where he went but humans were progressing quickly. Instead of having chosen ones from the descendants of demigods, all humans on the new planet had access to magic. That magic was not controlled by any god, it was the power humans could borrow from the planet. Many gods tried to influence these new humans with their teachings and magic, some succeeded.
While the war between gods and divine entities ceased, the hatred has not. Gugu is still claiming that he is the strongest, Jevy still claiming it is the smartest and most beautiful existence. Venn just thinks everyone is a waste of space and should die, Kale is merely looking for a better opponent.
How did this end up in such a mess? Generally, out of the twelve created, only four were fighting but it was enough to cause so much damage.
Now that the information is in my head, the memory played out the scene of making the divine entity of hope - Nel.
***
(I'll be counting on you then. Please help my future self should I succeed.)
"Hmph! Such a selfish desire. Don't you care if everything you created fell into ruin? I can see it happening already. Without you, there will be nobody left to keep Venn, Gugu and Jevy in control. These three are the most problematic. Not even I can foresee the damages done by them. In the worst case, there will not be a world left for you to see by the time to regain your consciousness."
(Thank you for worrying, Nel. However, I believe in you. After all, you are the divine entity of hope. You hold the secret power to end it if things go out of control. In fact, my future self would need a lot of your help. I will be weak after I dissipate all my energy into the void. What will be left is a ball of nothing.)
Nel looked at the dark space sadly. "Suit yourself idiot! But when things don't work, don't say that I didn't warn you!"
With that Nel flew away, leaving behind my past self.
I felt my past self's weariness and saw how time and again energy was dispersed. Usually, I would have fallen asleep to recover. However, my past self fought against fatigue and continued the excruciating process of 'becoming empty'. It broke my heart to know how much was sacrificed so that I could go on an adventure. Even though we were the same existence, all that sacrifice was in vain for my past self was unable to see what I could see now. I'm not even sure if we were the same entity anymore for we had differing personalities.
Over and over again I watched as my past self screamed in agony with nobody to hear it. My past self didn't stop. It must have been centuries before most of the energy had been dispersed into stars or time gates. With the last of the energy, I saw how my past self created gods of its own. They were the Great Gods whom I saw. Sedna looked so young and Zeus was so small too!
(I won't be here for long and will enter into a coma for a very long time. However, when the time comes that I should awaken and go on an adventure, please help to look after me in my place. My new self will be able to create a new path for us, I give it the name Zero to start. What my future self will decide is not my decision, please assist me to the best of your abilities. I will have many questions and when the time comes, please tell me all about our history.)
