Chapter 164 163. Who He Is (6).

Isha's vision blurred and the view in front of eyes morphed.

She was now in a pitch-black space with only two structures, one of which was a massive golden clock that displayed [36s: 24m: 05h: 32d: 155y]. The clock had stopped ticking after 11 or 12 years had passed, and this fact was something only Isha knew yet.

"Damn, it's been 155 years since I regressed this time..." Eshwar mumbled because he knew the existence of that clock; its presence in that pitch-black space surprised him, but not by much.

"..... No, it has counted all of your lives..." Isha mumbled.

And next to it was the Earth, which had 13 golden rings spinning around it in their own respective directions at extreme speeds.

"Hm?" Eshwar frowned at the sight and nodded in understanding after staring at it for a brief moment.

"Each ring represents one of my lives....so 13 rings..." He mumbled as he nodded his head in understanding.

"Two of the most f**ked up things of my lives are right in front of me, hahahahaha!!" His crazed laughter reverberated throughout the pitch-black space.

"Hm?" He took a step forward towards the massive structures to take a closer look at them, but as soon as he took a step forward, a patch made of all four colours of his mana formed beneath his feet. He ignored it and took a long step forward, and this time too, another patch formed.

"Hahaha." He chuckled, started to jump high to land in a random location where more patches started to form, and after he was done playing around, he jumped high up in space and landed in a location where both of the massive structures looked like huge decorations in the background. Once he seemed satisfied with the location, he smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction, and...

BOOM

WHOOSH

SHWOOSH

A huge patch of different mesmerising colours materialised beneath his feet and expanded wide, forming a small island of its own with a pitch-black throne at the middle of it. He stared at the throne for a brief moment and walked towards it with a wide grin of satisfaction while releasing his aura completely and even adding mana pressure, killing intent, and demonic energy, which would display his authority or rank, and sat on the pitch-black throne. All of his powers, which he was excluding, combined with each other, forming a pitch-black yet translucent rippling cape-like hue on his back and a crown on his head, with light blue, crimson, black, and emerald green crystals adorned on it.

"Whoa..." Isha was taken aback by the sight because Eshwar looked... incredible. That was the only word that came to her mind at his sight; she was so mesmerised by him that she forgot to breath for a moment.

"Hahahaha!!" He laughed menacingly at his coronation and snapped Isha out of her daze. That was the moment Eshwar created his own 'domain,' and he knew how to get in and get out of it, as soon as he sat on the throne. He leaned forward, stood up, took a step forward, and he was back on Earth.

"Huh?" He looked down at the massive crater in disbelief and determined himself that he would use it only when it was completely necessary because he didn't simply want to damage or destroy the Earth.

"Um...." Looking at him misunderstand things, she thought it was a pity because he looked goddamn hot when he sat on the throne with a crown on his head, and she would kill to look at him like that whenever she wanted.

<Age: 1650>

[54s: 59m: 01h: 29d: 1650y] was the time displayed on the golden clock in his domain, and the earth in it also had hundreds of rings around it now.

He had learned how to move in and out of his consciousness, where hundreds of Earths surrounded him. Eshwar would float while staring at many image-like screens that had encircled him in a cylinder; the images in front of him would change twice in a split second, and every single one of the 'images' were his memories of his different lives. His eyes would move to every single image as the images coiled around him without stopping. Hundreds of 'Earths' would materialise around him. There would be no sun or moon, but the light that fell on the earths would remain constant as they spun in opposite directions.

He'd lived so many lives that he'd lost count, and now all he wanted to do was die. He had killed the humans in every way possible, he had slaughtered them, killed one daily, tortured one daily, he even created a game to kill them called 'random pick of death,' destroyed families around his targets before killing them, making their lives so miserable that they wanted to 'ask him permission' to die; of course, some still died despite his warning; the next day, everyone close to him was tortured in front of everyone; because some still died, he even created permit tickets, which would be given one daily, and those who had them were able to kill themselves. But that wasn't all there was to it; they had his 'permission' to choose one person to die with them. He had once mixed tons of monster's blood until it turned poisonous and released it in the city after blocking every single escape route, and he watched them die slowly and painfully.

One of the methods that even Isha liked was the way he manipulated those humans. He had manipulated them many times, to kill each other, to rebel against the government, to wage war against the association and the government, to turn humans into psychos, and many other things, but one thing that bothered Isha was that he always began his manipulation with a woman!! Of course, he'd do 'things' with the woman to turn her into his ideal puppet, which seemed inevitable but still!! Isha wanted to beat the sh*t out of him, but she couldn't, so she saved it for later, when she returned to that 'Earth.'

In all of his lives, he had gotten so strong that he could destroy a planet with a simple snap of his fingers, and in all of those lives of his, the only thing that remained common was Frostine, who died in front of him, almost every time.

Isha had become numb from all of the sights in front of her, and though she wanted Eshwar to simply ignore everything and live separately, one thing or another would go wrong and not the same, but similar future would unfold in front of him, and there was something he would definitely do in every one of his lives, he would definitely kill one person no matter what, his name was....

Park Oh.

(AN: He is association president mentioned in chapter 01: The Fall.)

There were times when he had left him alone, and in all of those lives, the humans' lives had turned dreadful, wars would break out, or humanity would destroy itself from within, and the city would have turned into a living hell. There was something Isha noticed about him that reminded her of the Hero Association chairman, Stan Walton.

And another surprising thing about Isha was that she noticed that no matter how many centuries of years had passed, she never forgot a thing about their life in that 'Earth.'

"I want to die."
