"Reincarnation?" I asked, genuinely confused.
"Yes, reincarnation!" Cosmic said confidently, "If my powers paired with Knowledge's knowledge, we might be able to formulate a way to reincarnate you."
"WOAH! It will be like those isekai animes we watched together. Isn't that your favorite genre, Power?!" Reality said while staring directly at Power.
"It does seem like a cool concept, not gonna lie.." Power rubbed his chin and nodded up and down, agreeing to Cosmic's plan. I was surprised by their interaction. It was as if two teenagers were setting up a project.
'Quite unbelievable that these archaic beings talked like teenagers from Earth. So.. extra-dimensional beings also love Earth's entertainment.
Though I'm alright with it, I can't help but think of entertainment as a hindrance to Earth's technological and cultural advancement.' I thought with a serious face.
"Well, I've always wondered how Cronos reincarnated and even planned reincarnation. It was proven to be possible. We need to find the precise theorem, which I am an expert at.
The question is... Does Killigan agree with Cosmic's plan?" Knowledge asked.
I shrugged, "I'm okay with it. I will opt for the least annoying plan."
"Good! Cosmic!" Knowledge called her. She came running towards Knowledge, passing by me. "I have formulated the plan now. What I want you to do, Cosmic is to conjure a portal into the planet of your choice, and I will do my magic."
"Okay!" Cosmic conjured a portal in front of Knowledge. I watched in wonder.
Knowledge chanted unknown languages to his hand and placed it in front of the portal. The most bizarre thing happened right in front of my eyes. The portal became some sort of a miniature galaxy, A POCKET GALAXY!
As a fanatic of science and astronomy, this event is integral to my life. A pocket galaxy, a FUCKING POCKET GALAXY, is formed right in front of my eyes. Some fiction shit is happening.
"I- is that a pocket galaxy?" I ask gleefully towards Knowledge. I cast away all my "professional virtue" and acted like a child for once in my life.
"Why are you more excited seeing this than knowing the truth about existence?" Knowledge asked even know he knows the answer.
"Sir, with all due respect, something that I see directly is much more memorable than hearing some histories," I replied.
"But you saw us, the literal pillars of existence, bruh!" Reality says in return. I returned to my nigh-serious form, rearranging my necktie, and said in a severe voice,
"I was afraid of you- petrified! I was dead and met a strange servant who went to this terrorizing place.
I need time to cope with my surroundings, and I have just now. See! I now just talked to you like you're all my peers." I hastily spoke. God! that was elevating.
"The portal to reincarnation is ready. For further information, the planet that Cosmic has chosen is a planet that she had personally made as a tribute to Cronos. It is filled with mythical creatures and supernatural abilities, paired with its unique medieval-style setting. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful and dangerous planet in all cosmos." Knowledge explained.
I looked Cosmic in the eyes. She stared right back at me and as if she knew why I looked at her, said, "I thought you might like the world."
"It will be most interesting. I thank you.." I replied and smiled genuinely because why wouldn't I? If any teenagers were asked to be a part of a grand, mythical adventure, would they refuse? No, I think NOT.
I walked towards the portal, but Knowledge blocked my path.
He said, "Hold on, I'm not done explaining. Power, come here!" Power scooted over.
"May I help with something?" Power asked.
"Yes, please, will you help me awaken Killigan's power?" Knowledge asked politely. I was shocked but didn't show it physically.
I stood still while Power tapped his finger on my forehead. A tiny tattoo was formed and quickly deformed almost instantaneously.
"Power has awakened your power. However, it is still fragile. Nurture it- hone it- refine it, and one day I hope you will regain your previous powers. Remember, do not underestimate this planet and its people. I will reincarnate you into a compatible household that fits your personality and needs. Step into the pocket galaxy, and I shall remember you again. Do NOT underestimate this planet." Knowledge said.
I will forever remember that advice.
I stepped into the pocket galaxy, but before that, I bid farewell to all of them.
