21 Laplace

Xander was being watched 24/7 so far he had the brotherhood right where he wants them, as far as the brotherhood knows all Xander does all day is meditate and nothing else. With the exception that Hasha and Mother Michaela would always come to visit him.

During this time; his luck & Wisdom would increase between +8 and +12 every day; but apart from that he wasn't going to stand here doing but meditation; because within his storage space; was also in a meditating position floating, albeit it wasn't the celestial king technique he was using this time around, he just naturally learns to levitate because he meditates too much.

But when he levitate's and maintained to lotus position thinking became easier for him; you see Xander is tired of being confined here.

This place was dangerous; he almost wondered if it would be harder if he had not picked the neutral side; because the system's words were true, others looked at him as prejudiced.

To Hasha, Michaela, and also to Agnus he was known as Xander, but to everyone else; all they see him as is A632-TUO, it was as if he was a named brand limited edition item.

That's why he wanted to create something more. Yes, he wanted more, to be neutral is to be free from responsibility, be free from problems, and to be free from prejudice.

Xander refused to be confined to this place, or anywhere else at that. However, his mission came first; find the Celestial Child, and save him/her from this place that imprisons anomalies like himself, for the sake of existence and its entirety.

With this decided Xander open his eyes he said aloud.

"Ok, it's time I create an incarnation, someone who can explore the world in my stead, someone who could be my eyes, someone who could represent my will."

"Although I wonder what concepts I should make this child base off of."

"Hmmm... I can pick four, well I also need help with my "Cold as Ice" mission and it's not easy; but maybe this creation of mind to help; yeah, let's make him a human; with minor characteristics of the "Something" yes this child will be made around the concept of "Opportunity, Selfishness, Calculating, and Greedy" it will be a male, however, I want this one to understand the unfairness of this world and the sacrifice needed to operate in it; I want this child to learn from his mistakes, improve, and adapt to change; I want him to be highly intellectual, and manipulative, but extremely loyal to its creator."

Announce Xander; as he began to close his eyes picturing his creation.

"I want him to have an ability; that can't be defeated by normal means, an ability that makes him an unfair existence in every sense of the word, for that the trade would be that he doesn't have to capacity to become stupidly strong, his peak will be level 35, yes I want him to have a selfish ability, an opportunistic ability, and one that can make him extremely calculative, and that ability will be the ability to communicate with his future self true his dreams, the name of this ability will be "Last Moments." it will only be activated when he dies."

"When he dies his future spirit will travel through space and time; and appear to his past self in a dream; this dream can be either "daydreaming" or "REM sleep" There his future self will explain how he died, and what he had experienced before reaching here; when the current self wakes up, it's up to him to find a way to change the future."

"This child's name shall be Laplace aka Lapis.

[? Pov]

"Laplace... Wake up, Laplace."

'Who is calling me?'

"Laplace."

'This voice is familiar, but who is it?'

"Laplace... Open your eyes."

The voice Laplace heard was a soft voice with zero emotions behind its tone.

He didn't know to who it belonged, but yet he wanted to know, he needed to know; deep down in Laplace's soul, he had a thirst for want. Yet this unending want had no distinguish category.

What did he want he did not know; but one thing was for certain the voice was all that mattered to him at this moment, there was only him, and him alone.

So upon the voice command; Laplace open his eyes for the first time.

"Bright... Very bright."

He whispered.

As his hand blocks the light coming from above. However, his focus soon switched when heard the familiar voice once more.

"Bright isn't it~~ haha you're like a newborn; well technically you are but you get what I mean?"

Upon hearing this Laplace looks up; to see the source of the voice, and there he saw, a child with the appearance of a five-year-old toddler: he had long black hair that falls from his shoulder like a waterfall along with bright red eyes, while his skin tone was that of an albino, on his head was a golden sun shape crown. With a golden diamond in the center of his forehead, the boy looks majestic, especially seeing he was levitating four feet off the ground as he maintained a lotus position, his expression was stoic but anyone could tell while being around him that the boy was at peace.

Laplace was mesmerized by the sight of the boy, to say he look heavenly would be an understatement, even through the thick white robes he wears he could see that he also has ancient-looking tattoos on him, covering his body.

"Who are you?"

Laplace calmly asked the floating child who began to float around him, still maintaining a lotus position as he said.

"Not bad, not bad at all, you look exactly the way I picture you... Biologically you are eighteen years old by default but you look thirteen, most impressive, although I also have you the ability to change your initial shape and gender as a bonus."

"You have my eyes, and my hair."

The mysterious boy said, Laplace then began to eye the boy as well until weird memories began to flesh in his head.

"I see... So you are my father?"

"Father... Hmm... That's a strong word, I see us more as equals of sorts, you see Laplace you are technically me but in another form and shape."

"You are my avatar, embodiment, or incarnation take it however you please but essentially you're an extension of my existence, our personalities might be different, but in body, soul, and essence we are the same existence."

"I see."

Laplace said.

As he looked at his hands with a stoic and calm expression just like Xander's.

"Father; what is the purpose of my existence?"

Laplace asked confused as to why he exists.

Xander didn't like to be called father but he just let it be. But regardless of that, he floats in front of Laplace and said.

"I will explain all that and more in time; for now, we have much to learn."

"To learn, what will we be learning Father."

Ask Laplace once more, to which Xander replied.

"It's simple really; what we will be learning is the basics such as this world history, the Divas, the world's currency, and also other things that will mold you into my ideal limb."

"Ok, Father, so when will we start?"

"Right now of course, albeit I don't have the necessary experience or patience to educate you; however that's not a problem at all; you see I also want to learn, but I must admit im not built like you, as I made you highly intelligent to the point you have a photographic memory, so I won't be the one teaching you; you will be teaching yourself which in return is like teaching me as well... So you must ask how will you do that, well apparently this world has nine languages, you now know one, over there in the corner is a small library of book and encyclopedias, I don't think I should be telling you what you should do now right?"

Xander said to Laplace to which Laplace look towards the corner filled with books thicker than his head; however, he didn't disobey his father's wishes and went straight to reading.

[Xander Pov]

Xander looks onward at Laplace, he had the appearance of a thirteen-year-old but can make himself an adult or a woman if he pleases, this was just so he can blend into society easier.

For that reason, he gave him the ability to shapeshift his initial appearances to some degree, going from a child to an old man; currently speaking in his teen form.

He is 120CM tall with long black hair, and bright crimson red eyes, he has a stoic demeanor and wears a black robe similar to a cult robe.

His skin is pale and his body has light muscles here and there, although built to be extremely weak with his peak being street-level tops, the trade-off for that was an inherent ability to decide his desired future, like his name Laplace he could analyze and predict with 102% certainty with a 2% margin of error. In layer terms what he sees will happen with 100% certainty no questions asked.

Because of the nature of his ability, he is constantly seeing the future where he dies; hell he most likely is seeing the future even as we speak, why we'll it's simple I'm going to kill him right now.

Although he is not sleeping, he can daydream and think about several tasks at once easily to a detailed level because of his parallel thinking, this is something unique to him, because, unlike normal humans, he can use 100% of his brain capacity constantly, his brain doesn't need to focus on his body as it is self-sufficient.

Albeit I'm proud of myself, Laplace although weak, has the potential to do great things that might even go beyond my expectations.

So to test him out, Xander took one of the fingers from the multiple dead bodies that were in this realm and tossed it at him at subsonic velocity.

However seconds before Xander tosses the finger at him, Xander suddenly saw the future, in an alternate world that no longer exists, the finger ripped through the skull of Laplace killing him on the spot, and his brain flew everywhere as the skull exploded like a balloon.

Although he came back to reality, as time began to reverse, the universe was deleted, and reality was reset, the future timeline began to change, what was to be, didn't come to be, as the possibility no longer existed to being with, what caused that future was because Laplace didn't dodge however seconds before it flew towards him, or +1.8 seconds before the finger flew at him, or was even released by Xander Laplace move his head 5 inches to the left side, as the finger flew right pass him.

And by merely doing that, by merely calculating the speed of the finger velocity and distance, and time of death, Laplace destroyed an entire timeline, everything that existed or would have existed in that timeline ceased to be because he didn't die, even the Xander in the future timeline where he dies, no longer exist, Michaela no longer exist, nothing in creation no longer exist.

His movement when dodging was as simple as a butterfly, and yet the main timeline where he died ceased to exist because he prevented his death.

When Xander saw that in his future version of self, he was amazed, he saw the entire creation was destroyed before his eyes.

(A/N): Here is the official pic of what Xander saw when the entirety of creation was destroyed in an instant due to the butterfly effect of Laplace's "Last Moment" Yes this is a picture of infinity, passed boundless with infinite layers to ascending to being destroyed in an instant. Ps. What would you scale "Last Moment" in destructive power not great at scaling, but I do enjoy the topic of dimensionality.

'By the Gods, so that's how it looks when existence is erased completely and entirely, but if that's the case then the future he sees is a future that aligns with this timeline, and since this timeline changed from its destined path, then that timeline had no past to rely on, as a result, it was erased from existence, hahaha interesting.'

'Well then, time to create one more.'
