Born With A Divine System

CHAPTER 21: THE KEEPER OF LIGHT (2)- Part 1

Long ago, before the first war between light and chaos, a revolutionary breakthrough was made in the technological field, by none other than me and Michael. We had managed to assign numerical values to the different energies and would manipulate such values through our mastery of Qi; him more so than myself. The language we developed could be compared to what you mortals call a code, but this was the universes code, a language of 1s, 0s and -1s which could be organized to run programs that affect the very nature of reality itself. Through it many advances were made in the improvement of the quality of life, and many miracles were crafted through the creative fusion of mathematics and physics. One of such miracles was the system, an intelligence made from the very essence of creation, whose goal was to assist my Lord on his quest to reach enlightenment.

"Wait, so the purpose of the system is nirvana?" I asked.

"Precisely, the true reason for the divine system was to assist yourself in attaining a state of boundlessness." He responded.

That only begged the question, what was nirvana? How did the Lord discover it? And how come even he couldn't access it with all his might?

Circuitel then continued to speak, clearly realizing the thoughts going through my mind.

"Nirvana isn't some power up, neither is it something one can obtain through strength alone. It is a state of enlightenment in which one surpasses concepts which held them back, to the point that they become a boundless entity." He stated.

Thinking for a bit, I responded with more questions.

"Then how did he.. me... I know what it was?"

"A vision, one day you came to us and described what you had seen while meditating, immediately making it your top priority."

"Why though?"

I wondered, what would make someone that powerful desire to become even stronger?

"We all wondered the same thing. Maybe he thought he wasn't good enough to take care of creation; which is preposterous. He was far greater than any of us and did so much for the mortal realm; even going against his brother to keep the peace."

"But that's not all is it?"

*Sigh*

The angel sighed before a dejected look came upon him.

"I gave up on the idea long ago, thinking it was just a fantasy. Michael however, was not as weak willed as I; he spent eons in isolation working on the source code. He made sure periodic updates were preinstalled, and that the system would give tasks depending on the current difficulties you would have faced." The angel explained.

"Then he must have completed it right?"

"Well who knows, the first war broke out in the midst of his work so whether or not it truly is completed is anyone's guess."

Taking the fact that Alex could be incomplete into consideration I opened my inventory.

"Open Inventory."

[Inventory Opened]

A neon blue screen once again appeared before my eyes, as I scrolled through it looking for two items, the bracelet of transfiguration, and the world splitter. Finally spotting the two I brought them out, handing them over to Circuitel.

"Oh, well I recognize this one, it was one of Michaels ideas from his workshop." He said excitedly.

"However, this one I do not recognize."

Well who could blame him, the blade looked completely different from the angel slaying dagger I had, first it had absorbed the spear of that fallen, then the obsidian horn of Grim. It didn't even look like its old self; the steel that radiated blue energy was replaced by a darkened violet blade, which released the occasional spark of darkened lightning.
