Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

281 How To Stop This Endless Cycle

—–

The Great Twelve Gods were gathering information using their network of subordinate gods spread across the world. Many of them had small shrines within villages and so on, so they were able to sneak into human’s societies more easily and hear information through their prayers, while others were inhabiting the skies of the demon continent and were also learning more about Evil Gods. Theia, the Chief Goddess of Sight and Heavenly Light has been very worried since that happened.

Although it has been months since then, she still couldn’t shake the frustration she felt, Sylph was her blessed hero candidate after all, in a way her connection to her had strengthened a lot and she saw her as a prized being. The Evil God that tried doing to take away her life was someone she wouldn’t easily forgive... But the most surprising thing was that she somehow survived.

How?

Theia had been thinking about it for a while. She recalled that she indeed felt something weird going on with her soul. She had... “something else” inside of it which she had not seen in any other previous Hero candidate before her. This “something” made Sylph special. It granted her powers that seemingly defied magic and techniques themselves. And there was something within the nature of her soul that... seemingly gave her an incredible amount of mana- no, it was more like her mana never stopped regenerating.

It was the only thing she could ever compare to it, not even the gods could simply continue to generate energy... with no apparent end to it. But instead of inflating her like a balloon and making her explode, this mana she produced continued flowing through her body and soul endlessly, as if she had learned to somehow manipulate it without problems, and the strangest thing is that the residual endless mana she emanated was simply poured out into the world, nourishing vegetation, and other living beings. Unlike the corrupted miasma, her mana was pure and purified things, perhaps this was an effect of her blessing upon her, but this girl... was special.

“Infinite Mana? No... there’s no way that’s a thing.” She once thought, quickly scratching that insane idea. Theia ultimately concluded in that Sylph merely had “Insane Mana Regeneration” and left it at that.

Implying that there could be a being with Infinite Mana meant... it had infinite power, and nothing could have infinite power in this world, or universe and beyond. Nonetheless, she continued with her investigation regarding the one that did this, and after the last meeting with the twelve, she learned that the one behind this was the Evil God of Dungeons. It was the only god they knew capable of creating pocket dimensions with such ease as he did back then.

Rhea, the Chief Goddess of Life and Motherhood and Themis, the Chief Goddess of Law and Order had come to pay her a visit after the meeting, these two goddesses were to closest to Theia, and were also worried about the heroines.

.....

“Theia, how are you feeling lately?” Wondered Rhea, she had a gentle and motherly nature, always worried about her sisters and brothers equally.

“I’ve been thinking for a while, sister.” Sighed Theia. “What do you think we should do now? The Evil God of Dungeons is... too far away from our grasp, and his power... has been massing over eons.”

“He’s not someone unstoppable either, sister.” Said Themis, who was often stoic and strong-willed. “We can deal with him over time. It is not as if we have not defeated gods before by ourselves... The Evil God of Dungeons and the other Evil Gods... they’re all traitorous parasites. By the order of the Four Gods, we should slay them at sight. We’ll find ways eventually...”

“Themis, you’re as optimistic as ever...” Sighed Theia. “Oh well... Sylph and Aquarina seem to be well protected by their parents, and the Evil God of Dungeons had to plan this attack by himself though, it seems he didn’t felt confident about attacking the girls without a Demon General, so he might attempt to find some new allies in the mortal realm before striking again.”

“But what’s wrong with his fixation though? Have you girls noticed? He was always completely absent from the world’s history, and out of nowhere he had appeared with the intent to kill two of our heroes...” Sighed Rhea, she seemed very worried. “I think there could be something happening... Has he seen something that disturbed him about them?”

“Indeed, that’s strange. He had never been involved into this world. Perhaps he has the intention of change how things are, or maybe...” Themis said, as she began to think something while rubbing her sharp chin. “It is said that there is an Evil God of Prophecies, who evolved his divinity into the ability to see glimpses of the future... Maybe he’s cooperating and seeing something in the future, what do you think?” Themis wondered. She always overthought everything, but this time, unknowingly, she was right.

“The Evil God of Prophecies... Has his existence been confirmed yet?” Wondered Theia.

“Demons of several tribes pray to him daily according to the prayers I’ve received from templars living in the camps of the demon continent, dear sister... He is a real threat.” Said Rhea.

“Hm... Tell the humans to build more shrines for us and our subordinate gods, so our influence can be further expanded across the demon continent.” Said Theia. “We cannot let these Evil Gods dominate this place any longer. Even the demons are foolishly believing their lies...”

“Some say that Evil Gods are not evil...” Said Themis. “They say that demons receive help from their blessings and more... But of course, those must be biased lies from the demons, while they slaughter our creations, humanity...”

“Evil Gods doing good deeds? That must not be right...” Sighed Rhea. “I mean, what’s there good in the mind of someone as despicable as the Evil God of Dungeons?”

...

The Evil God of Dungeons looked into the Demon Continent and then the rest of the continents of the world of Terrarium, his influence through the dungeons grew stronger over time... Despite his evil means, was the world truly just black and white as these three goddesses believed?

“What could I do to stop this cycle?” He wondered. “This... cannot go on forever... I have not corrupted my soul and my heart for standing idly... I have to do something. If the gods are left to do as they please... this cycle of eternal suffering will never end... Isn’t that right, World’s Will?”
