Chapter 15: Heading Home

[Divine and Demonic Cosmos: Origin Realm]

[Third POV]

“Those fuckers think they can come to our home universe and fuck with it? They have to pay for this!” exclaimed Samuru. He turned toward Kaphy and said, “To show your loyalty, I am making you handle this issue.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied Kaphy without hesitation as she bowed in obedience. She stood up straight and waved her hand, causing a rift to appear. “Please follow me, Your Majesties.”

“After you,” said Samuru, pointing toward the rift. Kaphy walked into the rift, and they followed.

[Origin Cosmos: Void]

A rift appeared between Usarus, Velo, and Origin. A female stepped through the breach, followed by two males.

‘That’s Samuru and Iovis. Why are they with Kaphy?!’ Origin thought frantically. “What brings you here, Kaphy?”

“I see you’ve finally decided to join us in the fun,” said Usarus, smiling at her.

“Silence! How come you two have not bowed before our Kings?” Kaphy sneered with disdain at Usarus and Velo. She pointed her finger at them, and they were compelled to the ground by the power she exerted. They found themselves face-down, unable to resist.

‘This is impossible! How could the disparity in power become so great in such a short time?!’ Velo thought, realizing he didn’t even have the strength to move his eyelids. Kaphy ignored them and turned her attention to Origin.

“Honorable Origin, it has been ages since we last saw each other. I see you’ve accomplished something remarkable with your time,” Kaphy said with a smile. Samuru and Iovis remained silent, watching the scene unfold.

“Thanks for your flattery, Kaphy, but why are you calling me ‘Honorable’?” Origin asked.

“You are the one responsible for our two Kings here,” Kaphy replied, turning to bow toward Samuru and Iovis.

‘What the hell is going on?! How did those two become kings?’ Origin yelled inside his head in turmoil.

“Continue,” Samuru instructed Kaphy.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Kaphy replied. She turned her attention back to the two bound below, snapping her fingers to strip them of their Origin-Realm power, reducing them to God Lords. “You two are stripped of your Origin power and are to be imprisoned until deemed fit to be released.”

“Is this sufficient?” Kaphy asked.

“No. Those two tried to steal from us and lay claim to our home universe, which resides in this cosmos. That is unacceptable,” Iovis responded. “You have shown your loyalty; I will handle it from here.”

Iovis moved forward until he was only six meters away from them.

“My lords—no, my Kings—please forgive us! We didn’t realize we were causing trouble,” Usarus and Velo pleaded. Before Iovis could act, Origin intervened.

“Iovis, I don’t know what happened with you and Samuru while you were away, but you must understand that those of the Origin Realm are fewer than ten. We should forgive them, don’t you think?” Origin pleaded for their lives.

What happened next shocked Origin to his core. Iovis looked at him and said, “The Origin Realm is nothing.” Without Iovis having to move a muscle, Velo and Usarus were torn into trillions of pieces, never experiencing death. To everyone else, it lasted only a moment, but for the two, it felt like millions of years, repeating over and over with intensifying pain. Finally, their cores were ripped from their chests. They no longer possessed the power of an Origin or even a God. “Now, that should be enough. Don’t you think, Samuru?”

“I agree, Iovis,” Samuru said. “You two will live out the next ten reincarnations as insects, not even as mortals. Now, be gone!”

Their bodies turned to ash, and they entered the cycle of reincarnation. Samuru then turned his attention to Origin.

“Origin, it has been so long since we last spoke,” Samuru said, smiling at Origin. Origin immediately knelt. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

“My Kings, it has only been a few thousand years since you left. To us, that time is insignificant. Who would have known you two would reach such a level of power so rapidly?” Origin replied. Samuru waved his hand, causing Origin to rise.

“You, who gave us the chance to obtain such power, do not need to kneel before us,” said Samuru. “Now that this situation has been handled, I must return to governing my universe. Kaphy, you may return to your cosmos. You can seek us out if needed in the future.”

“Yes, My Kings,” Kaphy said, bowing, turning around, and proceeding back to her own cosmos.
