To the universe, you could say KAIZEL was not a threat.
Just another living creature within its system. A powerful one yes-but still controllable. As long as he remained under its control, the universe didn't care. Because from it's perspective, the balance was not yet broken.
Heroes die, villains rose, races fall, others grows. That's the undeniable law of nature.
But then - she turned to him, "twenty years ago all that changed. She said raising a finger.
The image of KAIZEL reappeared-now visibly more monstrous. His aura expanded like a black sun.
"The universe suddenly felt it's control over him weakening". I don't know how he did it or if it was because he was etching closer to godhood. Unlike me, he was evolving... mutating and becoming something it could no longer fully restrain.
This time she stepped closer, her voice rising.
"When KAIZEL killed the ninety sixth hero, it finally panicked. Realising KAIZEL could very well become another being like...me. She tapped her chest, "being outside its full control".
The seriousness in her tone made Xavier's skin crawl.
So you see after all this while it finally decided to take action and curb this threat. And you're the vessel it has chosen to do this in its stead.
He opened his mouth to speak but no words could come of it.
In order to stop the various races from panicking , she continued. I gave them a prophecy telling them of your arrival, Diana admitted. It was just a little trick I thought of.
That's why they came to earth, Xavier murmured.
All these years, no wonder they had made no attempt to enslave the us, even going to the extent of aiding our development.
"I helped them flee from their home planets and escape to earth", she continued. After I covered earth with a veil shielding it from KAIZEL's eyes.
He frowned, staring at her he said, "you mentioned that you couldn't interfere directly so how-"
'A gods avatar', at least that's what I call it. A weaker manifestation of myself, not my full form. That was how I aided them, and before you ask, it is not enough to defeat him. I have lost count of countless avatars that died by his hands.
Ooh! And one other thing, I also wiped out the memories of the four races on earth. Only their leaders and heroes know of the impending doom that was coming, I did this to prevent them from panicking or else your world would have long plunged into chaos.
Xavier inhaled slowly, a hundred questions simulated in his mind.
So do you now understand your part in all this? Diana smiled -this time it looked mischievous.
"The universe will give you a portion of its powers directly, not like mine-this is different".
I was tempted to ask how different it was but I held myself back. She was not done yet.
When you become a mage sadly you would not be making use of mana. She looked at me as if expecting some kind of reaction, seeing the frown on my face she giggled.
You will be making use of the world's energy instead.
"World energy ", what's that? Why? Is it more powerful than mana?
It is the same magical essence that the universe uses in creation, so consider yourself lucky.
It's a thousand times more powerful than mana and ten thousand times harder to use as well. Believe me I have try to before.
Using this will help you catch up to other heroes and have a chance against KAIZEL.
"But...why me?, he muttered. I don't remember being special and last I checked, I am not the only human on earth. Don't tell me there was no other candidate to choose from, I will not believe that. I'm just__
Because, she interrupted sharply, "you are not bound by this world. You are not from this universe and so you're not within its control.
He stumbled back slightly, almost laughing as he spoke. Not from this universe, "what are you even saying", I was born and raised on earth.
She looked at him and sighed, "I don't know the full story but basically, she paused.....just know that you're not from around here. So the universe has decided to place a bet on you, you could say it was making a gamble.
It took a while for him to recover his composure, everything that he had always known and believed was just shattered before his very eyes. Not from around here, there where was I from? Who am I? Who are my real parents?
Diana kept quiet looking at him this entire time. It was a lot of information to take in a short time especially for a human. After a while, she stepped forward until her presence overwhelmed the room....
"Now", Xavier.....her voice reflecting echoes as she spoke.
With all said and done, it's time to accept your destiny.
"Accept the universe offer and become a hope for mankind",
Or die...
Then she smirked lightly,
"Not that you've much of a choice either way".
