Systemless in a Parallel World



When he became Divine Lifeform, many things changed for Zayn. The Omni Soulring changed his body's structure completely, but that was not everything.

His range of emotions seemed to expand and the restrictions on his body were completely lifted. It was almost as if he was truly free. For the first time in his life, emotions he couldn't feel spread through his entire being. Zayn was quite surprised. He thought that he would feel fewer emotions upon becoming a Divine Being. However, the exact opposite was the case.

His entire being was overflowing with emotions such as rage, impatience, and hatred.

He wanted to obliterate all Blessed and their Gods to give Normies peace and calm. However, he didn't do it. Eliminating the Divine King was already more than enough. The moment Zayn became a Divine Being, he recalled most of his past memories. Many were still missing, but he could slowly piece everything together.

He knew that he was not a good person, but that didn't mean he had to destroy what the Normies fought a long time for. They never wanted to obliterate mankind; they wanted to be part of it. Zayn wanted to give them the opportunity now that the Demon King, the Demon territory, and the Divine King and his Army of Blessed had been obliterated.

Spreading out his senses, Zayn could clearly perceive Sarah and some of his old friends from the Silverflame Camp. He didn't go over to them to talk, but he sent them a message through telepathy.

[I know that you might hate me for what I've done, but the Gods have been corrupting mankind for too long. Killing their pawns was the only thing I could do to create an opportunity for Normies and Blessed to get closer…I will leave this place, and you will say that I died at the hands of the Normies, who realized that I was evil. Say that I was weakened and that your combined efforts killed the evil Spiritmancer. That way, you and the Normies will have a chance at peace and freedom.]

[Use the Demon territory to expand mankind's territory and become friends rather than enemies. Normies are not as weak as you may think, and there are many more powerhouses just like me. They're a little bit different since their kindness is real, but that is better, right?]

[...]

Zayn spoke to them via telepathy for five minutes. As a matter of fact, he was the only one who spoke, the others could only listen. They were not even sure where Zayn was currently located. They could only listen to his story, to the fact that he was an Otherworldler, and that he knew his actions grew more and more aggressive and evil.

It had never been necessary to eliminate the Army of Blessed, however, it showed clearly that he was an evil person. Furthermore, by killing the strongest Blessed across mankind's territory, he weakened mankind enough to force them to accept Normies. They needed Normies more than ever before. After all, many powerful Normies survived the war against the Blessed and the Demon King, and there were still many hostile kingdoms and empires around mankind's territory.

If mankind wanted to survive, they would have to accept Normies for the time being. Not even their Gods would be able to do something against that.

Zayn should feel bad after killing countless powerhouses, many of them probably innocent, however, that was not the case. Everyone joining this war knew what awaited them by facing him. The possibility of their death existed and by participating in this war, they accepted this possibility. If someone didn't tell them where they were going, fully armed, and with their strongest forces leading the armies, they would have to be stupid not to understand what was going on.

One way or another, Zayn risked his life fighting in this war as well. It was not necessary for him to join because he was an Otherworldler, someone who was not related to this world, but he felt like helping out, nonetheless.

His method might have been a little cruel, but it worked out at last. Shouldn't that be more important? The result counted and not the trail he left behind to reach the result, right?

Of course, many could have a different opinion than Zayn, but he didn't really care. He was stronger than them, and the strongest words ruled supreme. If not for him saying that he would leave and that he gave the Blessed a chance to cooperate with the Normies, they would have been obliterated.

Maybe, the entire Fused Realm would have become his playground sooner or later, but that is not something Zayn wanted to do. He sacrificed his Soulrings and all of his Spirits not to start anew, but to do something else.

When he became a Divine Being, he discovered the location of the Grimoire of the Ancient. He never forgot the Grimoire, but Zayn never had the opportunity to collect it. This finally changed, and it was about time to collect it again. It was not as if Zayn needed it anymore, however, it was much easier to recall the memories of his past life by manifesting the written and empty pages within the Grimoire of the Ancient.

Zayn wanted to recall his past. He wanted to find out why he was brought to this place, and how he ended up here.

A few memory fragments had already resurfaced in his mind, but he was far from knowing everything, and that was something Zayn wanted to change now.

He didn't plan to tell anyone where he was going, or what he was about to do. The only thing he shared was that he would leave and that the others should use his disappearance to their advantage. They may not have another great opportunity to push Normies and Blessed in the same direction. It was either now or never because Zayn wouldn't come back to take care of them.

His only mission was to get back the Grimoire of the Ancient and recall his memories.

"let's go then!"

In accordance with his Will, space cracked open, and a radiant light illuminated the kitchen.

The crack expanded in size until it was large enough to let Zayn through.

A moment later, he stepped through the Gate and disappeared, on his way to Pantheon, the Palace of the Gods.
