Chapter 53: Buddha of Courage

PART 1

In front of me where pictures of my life from the past, from the good times I had... the good times I cherished with everyone, everything looked the way I wanted it to look again.

I could see everything I've been through, as if my life flashed before my eyes... but no, it was different this time around—

I could hear a song. The very Framework of Wheel-Space illuminated our battlefield.

Providence who was once with me begged for my help, and for me to save her from her echoing voice.

I felt powerless... and hopeless, unable to do a thing for her—

So I transcended my role — the confines of my existence.

"Buddha, you want to have Sun Wukong destroy the world, but you've missed the point. I haven't fulfilled my destiny yet..."

Buddha realized what was happening, and grasped onto the situation—

"You've became... a Buddha?"

<>

A Buddha was only obtainable once a Hero undergoes a drastic change in battle, and has the most important role in all of existence.

As of now, Seth Genesis' role was to unite god and man, and thus in his desperate battle as of now, he awoken into a new light...

"Whatever I became... all I know is that it's enough to defeat you..."

Still transcending himself into newer heights, Seth began to reach absolute omniscient.

A Buddha and their Mind are one both interchangeable. They are nonexistent as all Buddhas are one with the Sutras, which is True Emptiness that not even the Supreme Gods could read.

The same goes for their physical bodies as well which would be born from nonexistence in nature.

Seth's omniscience would reach newer heights upon his transcendence, however—

"Wait... he's even... becoming one with Nirvana? How is this possible—"

Buddha felt defeated... he realized that Seth was now an equal... or perhaps unstoppable force for his avatar.

"You underestimate me. Sun Wukong once being sealed inside of Dàinsleif, allowed me to obtain his knowledge and wisdom upon the Sutras... so not only did I become a Buddha, I became one who's directly connected to Nirvana from understanding the sutras."

My eyes flashed Red, and my shirt would rip from the annihilating waves of the energy being emitted from me. Upon my back was a symbol of two hands holding the sun, in representation of my new title... as the—

"I am the Buddha of Courage, Seth Genesis."

I obtained all the knowledge among the world that I've needed.

Buddha's have eyes of wisdom that could grasp anything. I can now gaze across the entire Wheel-Space in an instant.

My wisdom was limitless, knowing every category and thing there was to know in existence. My intelligence encompasses everything, down to the very Second-Wheel known as the Outerworld.

"So much to take in, and yet... I know it all from the very center of my core."

I would suddenly teleport in front of Buddha.

Through Buddha-Nature I simply arrive at places, with no need to travel. All distance was meaningless before me, and thus I landed the first Blow upon Buddha, punching him into the gut—

"Guhh...hack!!"

His eyes widened as blood shot from his mouth, incinerating in the fierce aura around me.

"From here on out, it's only me and you truly... Buddha..."

PART 2

As I punched him, I disabled his fusion and saved Providence who was forced to be one with him, sending her from his body.

"How did you... aacckk...!!!"

Buddha even questioned me, but I managed to punch Providence out by my way of perception, as it had drastically changed. As Buddhas would be one with the Sutras, anything we think would automatically be possible without fail.

All things were possible now—

"Words of Enlightenment!"

Buddha was sent back from the pain, now using his main ability—

"Death! Death upon you!"

He had sent the words of death in reality which would kill me if I didn't transcend myself, however it was futile—

"W-What...?"

Buddhas eyes would widen as he faced me, as if I was the one to send him into death at any moment.

"The Wheel of Genesis..."

I muttered these exact words, scaring Buddha to his limit. I could tell he had even wanted to give up and retreat, but I wouldn't allow it.

I was completely omniscient now, all things were in my grasp of knowledge, and I knew there existed three wheels. The first was Beloveno, and the second was the Outerworld, and above that was the third wheel, where Nirvana and other concepts existed... however.

"You've created your own Wheel? You...? You alone?! This isn't adding up, this doesn't seem right!"

I created my own wheel, and mine was known as the Wheel of Genesis.

The Wheel of Genesis itself was a passive Wheel that manipulates and changes reality in order to fit me, to win in a battle. This wheel turned all attacks against me to simply miss or fade out of existence, and into the very Wheel itself.

As things were now, I could sever his fate and change the outcome of this battle, and so I did—

"The Hand of Buddha..."

I obtained this ability after becoming a Buddha, and creating my own wheel which belonged to me, controlling all of reality as I knew it. The hand of Buddha being created by me would disrupt and destroy any laws it finds itself against, and any system in reality, down to the concepts of the world itself. They all represented the 7 days of creation.

"First Day: Lightbringer!"

Representing the first day of creation, light. Using my first technique that can destroy anything within my vicinity, depending on my intention. Space distorts and warps, bringing the opponent closer to me, until I could palm them right into the face. And so I did.

"Ungh!!!"

Buddha felt his face cave inwards until I moved onto the next technique...

"Second Day: Skyward!"

Representing the very second day of creation, the sky. I would take two steps forward and jab my fingers into Buddhas chest, before elbowing him into his cheek. It allowed me to utilize the control of all elements, forcing my attacks to be coated in flames and life-threatening winds.

"Impossible... to lose to... Him... my avatar...?"

Buddha felt his cheeks cave in, as did his chest already...

"Third Day: Nature!"

Representing the very third day of creation, the plants and animals. My own spiritual animal would appear next to me, being in the shape of an elephant, before the other being the shape of a wolf to my other side. They acted as familiars, having the elephant wrap it's trunk around Buddhas arm, before the wolf would bite the other to hold him still.

"Fourth Day: Cosmos!"

Representing the forth day of creation, the cosmos. I would surround my fist in that of a massive Supernova, unleashing the attack that consists of countless upon infinite of stars condensed into a single blast that can atomize Gods from the inside. These very stars themselves are actually every, and all Supreme God, and Extinction Gods Realm, condensed in my fist. My fist would strike Buddha now, his entire body disintegrated until nothing was left...

"Guh... this power is... unmatched... even for me...?"

Buddha who was just erased from existence had returned back... his hand stretching forward, light engulfed it and its entirety...

"Light of Nirvana!!!"

In a desperate attempt to hit me with the light of Nirvana itself, I countered—

"Fifth Day: Current Maneuver..."

Representing the fifth day of creation, sea creatures and those that fly. Around me were waves being summoned into reality with sea creatures of many types, and dragons that all surrounded above us with the sight of birds. Once being summoned, they all boosted my skill and power, steadily increasing my strength into newer heights... Allowing me to evade the light

"Sixth Day: Hegemonizing Execution!!!"

Representing the Sixth day of creation, humans and land animals. Humans were naturally dominant, so it only made sense by adding the Hegemonizing Execution attribute to my attacks, I can incapacitate my opponents by causing their flow of ability, even energy to be in disarray. It can be used against opponents stronger than even me, causing anyone hit by this to have their power disrupted—

"I won't... lose here... I won't... Lose, I don't care if you are another Buddha!"

I already reached his destination to land a solid kick into his face, disrupting his power...

"C-Curses..."

I glanced at him.

"The avatar you are using is corrupted Buddha, it's no longer you anymore but an entirely different entity. You are no longer in control of it..."

Buddha would widen his eyes, his true form existed in nirvana after all...

"What did you say?"

I gently propped my legs down until Dàinsleif was summoned into my hands.

"Seventh Day: Rest..."

I would vanish once again, ignoring the concept of distance to stab Dàinsleif straight into his body—

"Ungh...."

Representing the Seventh day of creation, Rest. Whatever attack that strikes the end of my weapon or my fist is sentenced to rest forever, killing them off and preventing any form of immortality, even their regeneration. By far, this surpassed any and all of my other abilities...

"I see..."

The avatar talked as his concept itself was starting to fade into rest...

"You no longer have an body Seth Genesis... your body itself is compromised of the Wheel of reality that you created. You are no longer human... but the very source of reality— cuhow!"

Blood dripped from his lips...

"And you are... the Buddha of courage... awakened anew..."

His body slowly started to vaporize with Dàinsleif stuck in his chest.

"..."

His body vanished as Dàinsleif hung low in my hand, the symbol on my back even glowed.

"Providence..."

I made my way towards Providence who was afloat in the Wheel-Space, grabbing her underneath with my hand, and bringing her closer into me... my aura now calm.

"It's over now... we can finally return..."
