"Of course we're going back! Did you think I wanted to stick in here forever?" I sighed. "I've been working hard all this time to get back now! Geez, can't you read the mood, son?"

"A-Ahahaha, sorry." Ryo apologized. "More importantly… Something weird is happening in Genesis while you were out…"

"Something weird?" I asked. "Well, there were so many weird things happening all at once that that's hardly a surprise."

"Well, even stranger and dangerous!" Amiphossia said. "You know what has been happening in the background as we fought Hel's army, right? Those Divine Spirits appearing everywhere and the Gate to the Spiritual Plane opening…"

"A bit of it." I nodded.

"About Odin and how he had been stealing the Yggdrasil Trees spread around the world? He took away Freyja's Dream Yggdrasil Tree after Freyr's Yggdrasil Tree, this included the child inside of the Yggdrasil Tree that Freyja had…" Amiphossia said. "He was someone that had yet to attain Supreme God Realm, but became as strong, if not much stronger than one from one day to another."

"Freyja, huh?" I sighed. "I have yet to completely meet that woman, but it seems she has gone through a lot. And Odin might have a mysterious supporter… Those damn Spirits."

"Odin has become the Vessel of a strange Supreme Divine Spirit of the Spirit Plane that can wield most elements combined into something resembling a rainbow." Said Ryo. "I know because the Supreme of Time showed us all of that. He wanted us to tell you this in detail."

"But that's not all!" Said Amiphossia. "Freyr's Wife seems to have joined hands with Freyja, and both of them are going to pay a visit to Odin's Realm… Ah, and there's that giant made of flames… What was his name again?"

"Surtr." Ryo said. "He had been sealed within the Muspelheim Realm for a while, but a Spirit of Fire from that Realm possessed him and freed him, now it seems he's rushing to crush Odin. Also, Thor might get in the way too."

"O-Oh! And it seems Hades and Poseidon might make a move by themselves as well!" Amiphossia noted. "Poseidon was also recently visited by a Water Spirit."

"Weird, are these spirits fighting against one another?" I wondered. "It doesn't make sense to recruit the enemies of those that were possessed by other spirits, unless there's something else happening here."

"Indeed, we believe it might be the case." Ryo nodded.

"And… well, there's also what the Time Supreme told us…" Amiphossia said.

"Something more?" I asked.

"Yeah…" Ryo said.

My two children looked at one another, it seemed to be something rather impacting to tell if they were taking this long to say it.

"Well, he was rather cryptic, but he said that Genesis was the "Core"…" Amiphossia said.

"The Core of what?" I asked.

"Of… The Primordial Origin World? Or whatever. We didn't really get it, but it seemed important." Ryo said.

"He said that all these Gates opening to other Planes was predestined, it was a process of… reconstruction. Eventually, he said, all realms would merge into one, even universes, dimensions… And that this process where everything would start to merge was also like an Apocalypse at the same time, opening branches to other worlds easily, and bringing countless more foes." Amiphossia said.

"That's why he said we needed you, he said that without you, mom… Genesis would be destroyed by those that don't want everything to come together. Those that… desire to keep everything separated." Ryo said.

"I exactly don't have any idea if keeping it together or separated is good or bad though, but he sounded really serious." Amiphossia added.

So the Gates leading to other Planes, and all these Dimensions trying to conquer Genesis. It wasn't only because Genesis was the richest energy-wise world in the entire Universe, but also in many other Universes?

Which is even more shocking when we find out that the Universe where Genesis is located is considered a "weak one" within the lesser plane of universes… I guess something so shiny and special in the middle of garbage really brings everybody's attention.

Could this also explain why this world feels so desolate compared to Genesis, so filled of so many myths, powers, magics, and treasures?

Genesis is my home, where I was born and where I grew stronger and made my family. It brought me many challenges, and it keep bringing them to me. It is the place where everything started, and it might also be the place where everything will end.

The Core of the Origin World… It might be connected to the same "Origin World" word I've read in other items, especially these Seeds of Reality I acquire when I defeat these Sin Demon Lords. Could these sins they carry be also related with the Origin World?

Could this desolate and dying world, be a fragment of it? No… if the concept of everything being just pieces of an once enormous, whole world that encompassed everything is real, then every single thing is part of it.

Yet there are also… many forces that are taking advantage of this for their own goals, this process of fusion from its original fragmentation, as if the Origin World had been attempting for a while to reconstruct itself, but has failed due to the intervention of entities beyond the cosmos.

These Cosmic Deities… There might be, within them, some that desire to keep things as they are, and not unify everything into a single world. Who would had thought that the Era of Chaos I brought to Genesis would hasten this process so much as well.

Perhaps helping this process occur and get rid of the threats appearing everywhere that only see Genesis as big treasure chest might be my mission.

"Mom? Are you okay?" Amiphossia asked, my little baby girl was worried.

"Hahaha, I guess I got a bit thoughtful for a bit." I laughed. "Don't worry, everything's alright. This makes a few things more clearer, while only filling me with more questions in others… But yeah, I guess I've made up my mind."

"For what?" Ryo wondered.

"We'll unify everything into the Origin World." I gave a devious smile. "And I'll become the Ruler of that World."
