Chapter 41: Reunion of Creation: The Will Restored (Updated)

Walking beside Matrona back to their home, I began reflecting on what this world held for me. My thoughts drifted to my next steps. This realm differed greatly from the previous one—not just in terms of raw power but also in culture and societal structure. Unlike Danmachi, where adventurers thrived in cities together, here each race had its own land, culture, and way of life. Some races worked cooperatively, while others engaged in constant warfare.

Humans were among the most warlike factions, second only to the demons. Giants, though warriors by nature, didn't initiate conflicts—they fought other races' battles instead. As we walked, I felt a persistent pull—a connection to something within this world. The Origin energy here was abundant, and whatever called to me seemed familiar yet distant.

Sora: "Perhaps I should focus more on this connection and see what—or who—is calling for me."

I closed my eyes and concentrated. The sensation grew stronger, drawing nearer rapidly. Whatever approached wasn't close yet, but it had left its origin point and was heading straight toward me. I halted abruptly, feeling the familiarity intensify. Matrona and her companions stopped as well, looking at me curiously.

Sora: "Go ahead to Megadozer without me. I'll meet you there soon."

Concerned, Matrona stepped closer.

Matrona: "Husband, is something wrong? Is there an enemy? I can fight by your side!"

I smiled warmly and pulled her into a hug.

Sora: "Nothing's wrong, and I don't think it's an enemy. But I need to investigate. Take the girls and go ahead. Your husband is strong enough to handle anything. Don't worry."

Reluctantly, Matrona led the others onward, leaving me alone to face the approaching presence.

Returning to my smaller size to avoid unnecessary attention, I took flight toward the source. After some time, I finally saw it—or rather, her . My Will—the very essence that defined my existence—stood before me. 'It can't be,' I thought. 'I assumed it died along with my original body.'

Let me explain: every Origin or creation granted the ability to create worlds receives a Will—the embodiment of the power to shape universes. Just possessing immense strength doesn't grant permission to create; authority must be bestowed by God Himself. My Will was part of me, a fragment of Chaos itself. Yet here it was, sealed and contained, traveling through this world.

As it drew closer, I confirmed the connection. When it reached me, I extended my hand. The moment our connection formed, the seal shattered, and my Will rushed into me like a flood.

Sora: "Yes… I am complete again."

Memories surged through my mind, revealing fragments of knowledge—and a message from God Himself.

God's Message:

"Sora, my boy, I am sorry. I knew about the attempt on your life but chose not to intervene. It was necessary for you to reach your full potential and give your family a chance to restore itself. You needed this trial to grow beyond your family's shadow. Forgive me, please. I restored your Will and sent her to create this world, waiting for the day you would reclaim her. This world belongs to you now. Bring it balance and peace. With love, God."

[System Update: Sora's Will restored, merging with the system.]

[Host entering pocket world for merging process. Duration: 25 seconds. ]

Sora: "Damn, no time to inform Matrona! Igris, Merlin, come!"

They emerged from my shadows instantly.

Sora: "Protect Matrona until I return. Tell her my departure wasn't voluntary. Keep her safe—some lord will try to hire her to assassinate someone soon. Save her and remove her from danger. Do not interfere with the world otherwise. I'll handle everything when I return."

Opening my eyes, I found myself in the same location where I'd met my Will—but the terrain had changed drastically. 'How long has it been?' I wondered.

Seated cross-legged, I stretched out my senses, perceiving the entirety of the Seven Deadly Sins universe. Every being, every realm, every thread of existence lay bare before me. My powers had fully returned, and the system had merged completely with my Will, becoming an inseparable part of me. Jarvis remained intact, albeit stripped of his former abilities, reduced to a wandering soul. No matter—I would reward him handsomely.

With a wave of my hand, I created a humanoid form resembling Sebas from Overlord , infusing it with a new soul. Moments later, Jarvis opened his eyes and knelt before me.

Jarvis: "Young Master, this was unnecessary. I've already served my purpose. There was no reason to waste your time or power on this."

Sora: "Don't be dramatic, Jarvis. This is a well-deserved reward for your service. You can live a normal life now—have a family, children, whatever you desire."

Jarvis: "Thank you, my lord."

Sora: "Now then, judging by the flow of time, sixteen years have passed. That means Meliodas should have just met Elizabeth. First, let's find my wife—I've missed her dearly. Then, let's review my status."

Sora: "As expected, my soul still requires restoration. That's why I'll head to Douluo Dalu next—to cultivate Laws using the Infinity Stones from the Marvel universe. For now, though, my bloodline's remaining 30% will only unlock once I master these concepts into Laws, which could take billions of years. But I plan to accelerate the process significantly."

Standing up, I scanned the planet for Matrona's presence. She wasn't far—heading straight for me, accompanied by Igris and Merlin. They must have sensed my arrival and brought her to me.

'Until she arrives, let's outline my plans for fixing this world.'

Sora: "We have the smaller tasks: curing Meliodas and Elizabeth, reviving Elaine, helping Gowther and the other sins recover from their suffering. Their struggles stemmed from my Will's inability to contain both demons and angels. Then there are the larger issues—removing the incompetent Demon King and Supreme Goddess, finding suitable successors, releasing the demon clans, restoring the destroyed elven clans, and fostering peace between all races. Quite frankly, this world is a mess, but it's my responsibility to fix it."

I sighed deeply. 'Fixing this chaos won't be easy, but duty calls.'

Taking my giant form, I moved toward Matrona. Upon seeing me, she froze, shocked by my overwhelming aura. At 70% of my bloodline unlocked, I could no longer suppress my presence entirely, though I kept it from spreading globally. Those nearby would sense it clearly.

When I reached her, she lowered her head and attempted to kneel.

Sora: "No. You are my wife—you kneel to no one. Stand tall and proud. I've missed you dearly, Wife."

I pulled her into a tight embrace.

Matrona: "This isn't fair! You claimed me and then disappeared. I spent years thinking of ways to punish you when we reunited. But now…" Her voice softened. "You've taken all my anger away. And you've grown so much stronger. I trained under Igris and Merlin, hoping to make you proud of me as your wife. They taught me everything about magic and combat, and they told me about you—about how much you love me. Even in the midst of your greatest trials, you thought of me and ensured my safety."

I hugged her tighter.

Sora: "I don't need you to be strong for me. Strong warriors are easy to find or create—I can summon them anytime, anywhere. What I want is you by my side. I'll always love and support you, just as you do for me."

Sora: "And know this: I've always loved and been proud of you."

Pulling her close, I kissed her deeply.
