Chapter 277 - The End and the Beginning

Days were passing quickly.

Lucas, as he was enjoying having everything in the world, would feel very spacious.

His life now, is no adventure, nothing, but a bunch of pretty and pregnant women.

He liked and loved each part of this life.

But there is one thing that had been concerning him for too long.

The Supreme Being had a deal with him; Lucas knows that he has that part, and he already prepared a trick in his sleeve.

"What to do," Lucas lied on his thrown in the Holy Land and looked at the ceilings.

He knew the time that he shall leave the world; the time when his adventure become boring in the eye of the divinity he has to entertain.

But somehow, he wanted to settle and live a happy life here.

After having everything here, why would he even go to another world?

Now, He was alone as he asked his girls not to bother him.

"What a headache," Lucas massaged his temple.

The ultimate ruler of this world isn't enjoying his life, not enjoying his immortality.

"At least he should have given me a deadline."

Whatever, it doesn't matter.

He already finished off Whitebeard and Shanks and got the XP he needs from them.

The trick that Lucas had prepared is simple.

After touring in this world, Lucas was able to find Time-Time Fruit, which would allow one to travel through time.

As his system gave him a chance to eat a second Devil Fruit, Lucas ate it in the toilet, since he was sure that no Supreme Being likes to watch a human in WC.

Lucas remembered that Being's words. He is doing this for entertainment, which means, he doesn't know what will happen next, he can't see the future.

The idea is simple, after reaching a high of DFM in Time Fruit, Lucas is sure that he would be able to travel back through time. He couldn't level his fruit higher, since it requires more XP than the others, which he can't gain because of his monstrous strength and the low XP this word can offer. Like, it requires what he doesn't have.

But still, he would be able to go back through time.

All he needs is more time, get the XP he needs, and he would be able to retire.

If it came to worse, he would unlock the potentials of Kaido and the other strong individuals, so he may have some hard battle.

As Lucas was alone in this vast room in the palace, he started to hear a cracking voice.

It was like a glass getting break.

But nothing was cracking.

Lucas looked in the middle of the room, to see black cracks spread in the middle of the air.

He let a sigh: "F.u.c.k!"

But what got out surprised him.

From that crack, flew a man with long blonde hair and blue eyes, and fell to the ground, on his knee.

"Ha... Ha..." He was panting as he kept looking at the ground.

"Supreme Being!!!"

Lucas, after blinking twice, called in shock.

This, this was the person that had sent him to One Piece world and the creator of The Strongest System.

Now, he is on his knee, blood dripping from his forehead. Wounds covered him from head to toe, cut marks, and there was a trail of blood following from his mouth.

How can Lucas not be shocked? The creator of the system is in such a state.

Just thinking that this person could create a system that gives infinite power, was very likeably make him have the power that surpasses the system itself.

'Do gods bleed...'

"What!" Lucas thought it may be something bad, so bad that Supreme Being get hurt like that.

What if that thing followed him, here?

Lucas stood up and walked to the centre of the room, to the Divinity that came here.

The Supreme being was pathetic.

"What happened?"

There was no answer to Lucas's question, as the Supreme Being was breathing heavily.

"WHAT HAPPENED, "Lucas yelled, feeling nervous. "The Deal was you teleporting me, not you coming here."

Upon looking very closely to the Supreme Being, Lucas found that, except the difference in hairstyle, the two of them had very similar eyes, and face... except that the Supreme Being's face was more mature.

"Answer me!" Lucas's heart pondered as he saw the Supreme Being looking at him and smiling. It was a mocking smile.

"I f.u.c.k.i.e.d up," The Supreme Being said, "Again, even during this timeline. When I thought that it's over, fate claimed me."

"What!" Lucas felt his dizzy.

Why the voice of this person is now similar to his. Was he always like this, or is he playing with his nerves?

'This timeline...'

'Fate claimed me again.'

And what is this supposed to mean?

The Supreme Being stood up to his full height and looked at Lucas, smirking.

Lucas didn't want to make a reckless move on a guy that possibly can kill him with a flick of his finger.

The long-haired Blondie reached with his hand to Lucas's shoulder, and said, "Even when I thought I won't have to fight it. That battle, fate, is unchangeable."

"What battle, what you are talking about," Lucas asked as he pushed his hand.

"It's our battle," The Supreme being Coughed blood on Lucas's chest," a battle against something called fate. Something beyond the multiverse conception"

Lucas blinked, and the bleeding divinity continued to talk, "Maybe I should clarify something. "

Lucas nodded, thank you.

The Supreme Being said.

"I never transmigrated you because I needed entertainment."

Lucas's eyebrows furrowed. Then what. It's not because Lucas really had much Karma.

"Neither had I done it because you saved the world or that bullshit of Karma..."

'What does he mean?'

"I did that because you were me,"

Lucas took a step back, staring stunned at the bleeding guy, who grabbed his shoulder tightly. It was gentle, yet Lucas felt pain.

Lucas blinked. He has the same voice, the same hair colour, and the same eyes as him.

And he is f.u.c.k.i.n.g bleed. Gods, natural ones, don't bleed. They aren't a creature that needs a red liquid in their veins to survive.

They should create life, not living a one.

Now, this makes sense...

"I am you, Lucas," said the Supreme Being, "I will die, you will die.

"F.u.c.k, it's worse than death if we are caught by him.

"I thought I cheated fate. But now, I learned this. You cannot change your fate... Fighting eternally is useless."

"You, what are you saying," asked Lucas, feeling very bad inside. For the first time, his heart pondered very fast. "Clear your mind."

The Supreme Being ignored Lucas and walked pass him.

He went to the throne and sat down. He glanced at Lucas and smiled. It was a mocking, yet warm smile.

There, there it was, him when he was hundreds of years younger.

Lucas looked at the Supreme Being. That's one, is him!!!

On the corners of the Supreme Being's eyes, there was red liquid dripping to his chin.

He seemed to be crying, crying blood. Lucas lifted his eyebrows, his heart pondering faster.

"My tears had dried up a long time ago when I lost everyone I loved gradually." He said the reality around him seemed to be bending as white cracks appeared on his body. "Until no tears left. And I was a big asshole."

Lucas paid attention to this part. Lucas felt very bad when his other self said that he lost his beloved one gradually.

"Long time ago, I've made it, threw away everything that bothered me, every shred of feeling I had. I needed the motivation to survive.

I have abandoned my humanity. I embraced my selfishness, sank in my sins. Hehe...Hahaha." The Supreme Being covered his face with his hand and started laughing like a maniac. But blood still falling to his eyes. No salty liquid, but pure red blood. "I abandoned love, women, and family. All I did was to embrace the void. And eventually, I became the Strongest among... Crawled out of the hell. Yet, still, Death, Fate, my fate, our fate, is written in the timeline.

I miss calculated. I blinked my eye at small detail, and here am I. Choosing between two fates that are worse than death."

"Answer me, what do you mean." Lucas, by this time, took his swords, demanding an answer. Hearing the beloved ones are deadline, Lucas could no longer remain calm. "I'll f.u.c.k.i.n.g kill you myself even if you are a real God."

The Supreme Being flicked his finger and the swords in Lucas's hand vanished in thin air.

He then leaned his head on the thrown, closed his eyes.

"I'm you, from another timeline. Because I made a mistake, I had to face the outcome. Even when I was so childish, fate never was merciful." The other Lucas closed his eyes, leaning his head on the chair. His blonde hair became fully red.

"After I thought I had overcome fate, I was so curious. What, what if, my start was different," said Lucas, the other one of course, "what if, I was reincarnated at that same family, had something to assisted me, and no enemies to chase after me. I was so curious, so I went back through time, and chose you, chose myself I wanted to see.

"I was curious, me seeing me growing, challenging the world. I wanted to feel satisfied once I see myself achieving the goal and having a family."

Though things were mysterious, and there are answered question such as, what fate is he talking about, and what caused his future self to change this much.

"Thank you." He said, "because of you, I had reawakened the feelings I had killed..."

The Supreme Being flicked his hand and a katana appeared in his hand. He threw it to Lucas who caught it and examine it.

It was a black sheathed long katana.

As the strongest swordsman now, Lucas could feel unimaginable pressure coming from its sheathed blade.

"Use this sword, leave this world, and get strong. Stronger than I would ever become." The other Lucas,

"Hurry, there is no time. After I die here, if you are still here, you would be detected.

"You shall perish. Not only so, but if he finds you here. Everyone you had contact with, would wither after you. And you can do anything because you can do anything.

"Run me, run."

The Supreme Being started to fade. His legs started to turn into very small light orbs. After his feet vanished, other parts started to follow.

"Please," said the other Lucas, "The Strongest System is my masterpiece. I never had it. I believe it will assist us in our journey."

"It'll grow as you do. Survive until then. You have my last hopeless hope."

Lucas couldn't help but use future vision to know if this is a prank or not.

After seeing what would happen a half-hour later, Lucas opened his eyes widely.

F.U.C.K!

This isn't a prank.

Everyone is going to die, form his lover. Lucas saw a dark shadow, the scariest thing your eyes may fell on. His eyes were golden, shining in the darkness.

His skin was darker than dark. And there were white glowing ruins across his body.

In the future Lucas saw, that shadow killed him and everyone in this place, including his family.

The shadow told him these words, 'Ho, you aren't dead, even after the injuries I inflected on you. You thought you can trick me, Lucas. Not a chance. I'll destroy this place.'

Lucas tried to see the future again, where he went to the other side of the world. It didn't make difference.

It was exactly like the Supreme Being said.

If Lucas is still here, the shadow would come to detect the supreme being and if he is dead. Lucas is that person, so he would die.

One the corner, the Supreme Being, the other Lucas, had completely.

[Ding, the hosts other self had died.]

[Ding, obtaining a shred of a Divine Ability]

[Shred of Divine Ability: not recommended to use now]

"Ha- Ha."

He needs to get out here quickly. If not, everyone would die.

No time to think.

And the system confirmed that.

[Ding, the creator is chased; leave this world, before his death would be confirmed by your blood.]

[Ding. Do your best. Ding, move...]

'Shit, even the system seems to be afraid.'

Lucas knew exactly what to do; the sword in his hand seemed to guide him.

Holding it with his hand, Lucas used the system to know what it is. It was like scanning.

[The World Breaker:

Holds the ability to cut the reality and open portals between dimensions.

... Can't unravel the other abilities of the sword because of the host's low swordsmanship.

The minimal level required to use its full abilities: Blade Saint]

Unsheathing the black katana, a long silver blade appeared; ruins covered that blade from the grip to the tip of the blade. As Swords Half-Step Blade Saint now, Lucas could feel what to do.

Lifting the sword in his hand, Lucas waved it in an X shape in thin air. The strength he used in swing would be enough to cut a full island. But in this room, no wall was cut.

Where the blade passed, the air seemed to get cut.

An X shaped portal like appeared in front of him. It was a white light that appeared in the room.

'Leave this world'

As Lucas remembered that his other self's words, he knew he must jump there. Besides, it's not his first time using a portal, so he exactly knew where to go.

"F.u.c.k. And I thought I could relax."

Lucas, closing his eyes, took a step forward toward the X shape portal that appeared in the air.

Another step is separating him from entering. Lucas suddenly stopped.

His heart, his feelings started to pock him.

He knew that, at some point, he can travel back through time, so could that Supreme Being; which made him feel it's not a good idea to run.

But what made Lucas halt his steps were his feelings, feelings toward his girls he is happily living with. Today, his first child was going to born. But, he isn't going to be there.

Lucas didn't even say goodbye, and he wanted to see them, more than anything else.

But, he had a fear now, a fear that once he sees them, he would change his mind and stay.

They will die, and he won't be able to change that.

"In the future," Lucas turned his head and looked at the direction where the girls live,

"I'll come back, at this same moment, so you wouldn't feel that I had ever left."

Sure, things are tough, for that Supreme Being. But there is one thing that gave him hope. 'The Strongest System, my masterpiece, it will help you.'

'It'll grow as you grow.'

As Lucas understood, the other he didn't have the System to assist him. But he said that the tool would grow as he grows. Sure, that means, maybe, a better outcome.

Lucas will find answers and would come back, and most importantly, he will survive.

He then looked at the portal he made in the reality. As soon as Lucas entered, the portal, behind him, seemed to get closed.

Lucas could see nothing, except endless void with light orbs.

Very soon, he felt that something is pulling his body down.

Suddenly, beneath him, a ground appeared. Gravity started to pull him down. Lucas landed on his feet, to see that he was in the middle of a forest.
