Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 14: On oneself (Part 01)
|POV Odo|
Cowering under a lush tree with sharp foliage colors, I thought back to what Reyah said while still inside the Sacred Tree. That fact, the reality he said, indeed when thought again it cannot be ignored or accepted outright.
Think again, did all of that really happen? What possible? As far as I know, a parallel world is a world that should run parallel to the world of reality that is pati⸻ wait! In that case, I entered which entity of reality?
This world? Or my world first? No. .., said Reyah this world is no longer there is a parallel world that is completely different, outside this universe he said there is only nothing. In that case, what are the possible factors that could create a parallel world like the Schrondinger cat case would be impossible in this world?
Wh why? Supposedly according to quantum⸻ mechanics no, that alone is not enough of a race to actually state that the possibility factor cannot exist.
No. .., no, no, this is impossible. Come to think of it again, all of Reyah's actions were filled with confidence, she didn't seem to be thinking. He said he was waiting for me here, so why? Why did he know I was coming?
It was the first time I met .... Is it because of the ancient text that He knows? Or because I'm from another world line once came and met him?
Wait, then why did he say there was no other universe? Did he lie to me? No, no, why would he lie at a time like that?
Think again ..., think again about the possibilities .... At the time of my life, the truth about parallel worlds was still a matter of debate. Scientists at the time said that the parallel world was a kind of zone outside the pool that could not be known by entities in the pool.
Although it could not see directly, the ripples created from the vibrations outside the pond could be felt by the entities within the pond. In that case, even though they cannot see or make full contact, the entities in the pool can still know that there is really life outside the pool. It is not uncommon to make contact with the other world due to the limited technology.
So, what? What after the apocalypse there is a technology developing so rapidly that not only make contact, but to the point of being able to merge⸻ wait, is it true this world is joining?
If there had been an apocalypse, instead of another parallel world being destroyed, and this new world was the only world left?
After all, the concept of parallel worlds and other worlds was slightly different. If parallel worlds occur because of the possibility factor that the creation of millions of worlds innumerable in the universe, while other worlds are a completely different world.
As when looking at glass, there is a world in glass that is a parallel world, but that does not mean it is branching from the world where the person who is looking at glass. But is that really the difference? Magical realm? The afterlife? Hells? The paradise? Does it also enter into another world? Or is it just a parallel world that is expanding millions of times faster that gets technology that can even give courts and influence to other parallel worlds left behind?
“Odo ..”
There is also a factor of the infinite universe. That proves that galaxies are also a lot in the past, but is now the number of galaxies is still the same? Do I have to prove it first ..., go to space? Is there really room there?
Is there another planet? Is the sun just one? Is this universe still the same solar system? What⸻”
“Odo!!”
Uh ....?
I raised my face and looked at the source of the voice calling my name. There was Reyah, the green-haired Great Spirit who somehow looked at me with anxiety. He suddenly knelt down and hugged me tightly.
I don't know why, but it brings a feeling of relief. Warm, very soothing and relieving anxiety and all that I think. Why is he hugging me? Questions in my mind.
She was crying, though I couldn't see her face because she was holding me, but she was obviously crying. Why does he care so much about me? Another question came back.
“Reyah .., I want to ask again. Why ..., are you so sure there are no other universes? What ...” Strangely my mind again wanted to reveal my doubts, without caring about the woman who pounced on me with such anxiety.
He let go of the embrace, held both of my shoulders and stared intently. Highlight his green eyes were so sharp, it appeared wet from tears, and his face clearly showed worry. “Why ... to the extent, thou ...”
“I should know .... Should .... At least until this stuffy taste is gone ...”
Rey seemed reluctant to speak. After a few moments of reasonable subjugation, in the end He replied in a voice full of hard feelings, “Alright .., will I tell you ...”.
After that, He answered and explained almost all the questions I asked, of course only the questions he could answer.
From all of that, an absolute conclusion was reached. This world is indeed the same world from my old world, not a parallel world or another world, it is completely the same. In the ancient text that Reyah told me, there it was stated that the world before the apocalypse was made up of millions of worlds that were increasing every second, in other words it happens because the concept of possibility still applies to creating parallel worlds. After the apocalypse, or rather at the beginning of the Early Doomsday, the concept of possibility disappeared and the world became a place with an indivisible route.
But there was something else that surprised me. According to Reyah, there is one more line of the world that is faster than this world. Unfortunately, the world was destroyed at one particular point of development and the world was repeated.
The conclusion from that, this world was merely a repetition of the world line that had been destroyed in that future. That was the reason Reiah knew that I was coming, because he himself held the memories of the broken world line. Reyah calls the current world line the If.
The Supreme Gods also knew of this, Reyah herself had been contacted by them because she had a memory of the world line that had been destroyed even though it was not whole and only the beginning.
Despite having knowledge of what could happen later, neither the Great Spirit nor the Supreme Gods could change the rate of fate because indeed the possibility factor could not create a parallel world that could free the world from the fate of destruction.
The proof of the impossibility of fate being changed, it was the Great War several tens of years ago that even in this age of powerful Gods could not be stopped by them.
That is why I am in this world, a reincarnated soul of a broken world. Because with me being an abstract factor in the path of the world, the path of destiny will become chaotic and perhaps the pace of the world will be taken in a different direction. That is why in ancient records, the black-haired child is said to be the Carrier. But, even so, there was still one question left in my mind.
“Why should I? Who exactly am I to be chosen from thousands of souls from the past to risk the survival of the world in the present?”
Although he had compiled a question to answer the curiosity, but still could not. There are still many things that Reyah cannot answer and there are also those that he does not know.
I don't feel annoyed because of that, at least the curiosity in the mind diminishes with this. At least that is enough to reduce the sense that is stuck in this mind and help me set clearer life goals.
Although this feels no different from my life that was always carried by the environment and people around, but at least this is better because it is meaningful to many people.
