The Original

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

In an empty plot of land the size of 4 football fields, explosions continuously ranged out. The cause was not any of Jin's attacks but instead originated from inside his body.

Yes, soon after Jin absorbed the unknown energy from slightly over 10,000 creatures, he watched on as his cells were continuously destroyed and reformed. Along with that, the rest of his body like his bones, organs, tissues, and even his skin were liquidated and then refined. He knew, soon enough, a Heavenly Tribulation would be coming his way but that was not in his thoughts as he instead thought.

'This pain...it tickles a little. Haha, I remember when less pain than this affected me. Yet, the destruction and reconstruction of my body, isn't affecting me one bit. Have I already lost my mind?'

Jin thought with an indifferent-looking smile plastered on his face.

Crackle!!!

Crackle!!!

Multiple red-colored lightning could be seen dancing in the dark clouds that were located in the skies over Jin's head. Before Jin could even register why the color was so weird, Jin saw the same lightning flash towards his direction in a straight line.

Boom!!!!

As if the concept of time forcibly slowed for Jin, he watched on as the red-colored lightning connected with his body bringing forth an apocalyptic explosion that resounded throughout a radius of a few hundred meters.

A crater of a few dozen meters deep was then created merely by the force from the lightning bolt contacting with Jin's body. After the passing of the smoke, one can see the charred body of Jin. Though he looked to be in a sorry state, if one were to look closely, they'll be able to see his skin slowly reattaching itself.

"Hahaha, I see. You stupid Heavens think that by merely using this level of power, you'll be able to kill me!!!"

Suddenly, the childish and simultaneously evil voice of a Demonic Jin resounded in the surroundings, as then slowly but surely, an attentive viewer would discern the few changes in Jin's body. His canines made their appearance to the world, followed by his one horn, a wing, a tail, and finally, his toenails and fingernails lengthened and also turned black.

Standing on a never-ending body of dark water was a gob-smacked Jin. The water was so dark it looked as if it was trying to eat away at the light coming from what seemed to be a sun hanging in the sky.

But, the darkness of the water was not what confused Jin. No, what gave him immense shock was him finding himself standing in the front of a transparent screen that showed him the scenes of Demonic Jin angering the heavens.

Not only did he not know what this place was, but he also did not even know how he got here in the first place. He remembered watching the red-colored bolt of lightning impacting his body, as right after that, his memories went hazy.

"Do not be surprised, Jin of Void. You have already been here before. At that time, you were semi-unconscious, so that's probably why you are unable to remember."

The calm, soft and childish voice of what seemed to be another Jin entered the Jin of Void ears. Immediately after, Jin of Void spun his head to his side, and what entered his view was the scene of what seemed to be another Jin sitting on his knees.

The only difference between Jin of Void and this Jin was, the fact that this calm-looking Jin had his long white hair tied into a ponytail while also having three long katanas wrapped to the right side of his waist.

"Are you my third personality?"

Jin of Void asked in confusion, but the following words of this calm-looking Jin shocked him even more.

"Your third personality? No, I think you misunderstand something. All three of us, Demonic Jin, Jin of Void, and me a High Human Jin, are all broken-off pieces of the original. I am what a human who went under demonic transformation but still retained his humanity is known as, yet I still am a mere fragment of original Jin.

So, to answer your question. I am not some third personality of yours, but instead, I am a piece of original Jin's soul. I gained consciousness in the Kingdom of Bronze, where my 'parents' died due to me being what they called a 'variable'.

Most probably because of the system, another piece of the original was broken off and that soul then formed into you. Because you were of a higher bloodline, I was sent in here whereas you took control of this body. After regaining my consciousness I found myself here which is inside of this body's middle dantian.

It was only after talking to the system did I realize that we were mere fragments of the original's soul. The original, who was forcefully sealed because of reasons unknown. I kept searching in this place for the original because I wanted answers, I wanted to know what was the reason for my existence, I wanted to know if I was merely just a fragmented soul who simply was a mere copy of the original.

Sadly, I could not find the sealed original. When I was about to give up, you decided to fuse the Demonic bloodline from the system, and then, Demonic Jin, who is another broken-off piece of the original, made his appearance inside of this middle dantian. Right after that, because of reasons unknown to me, the original also appeared in this place."

High Human Jin finished his speech as he then pointed his delicate index finger towards a random direction, causing the shocked Jin of Void to look in that same direction.

As the gob-smacked Jin of Void gazed at the location, what came to view was another Jin who looked even more divine than both of the present Jins. But, he was wrapped around a pole in weird-looking chains that.

Ughhh!!!!

Suddenly, the mouth of this chained up Jin let out a weak groan surprising both High Human Jin and Jin of Void in the process. And as if to continue giving them the shock of their life, the original then weakly said a few words while being adorned with a wicked smile.

"Hahaha...I thank you...for allowing me...to be freed!!!"

Mysteriously, the lips of the Jin of Void and High Human Jin formed into evil-looking smiles as the voice of the original then entered their ears.

"From my memories, do you think that I...no, do you think that we deserved this?" Original Jin filled with mysteries asked with a crazy-looking smile.

"Of course not, we were created to save them, yet, only 15 years after our birth, when our intelligence was still comparable to a baby fetus, they sealed us inside here. Thankfully, for reasons better not said now, the seal has weakened which allowed me to gain consciousness and escape. Therefore starting the process of eventually awakening you."

With those words, the original suddenly opened his mouth which caused a massive black hole to appear in front of it as both Jins then felt an immense suction force. They merely closed their eyes and waited to be absorbed.
