Chapter 1022 To Hold Infinity
(Eris POV)
“Ah! Harder, Master! Ah! Ah! Hnnng!!! It hurts so goooood!!”
At least Diao Chan sounds like she’s having fun in there…
Meanwhile, Manami, Kiyomi and Lian Li were all busy trying to improve their strength as much as possible in preparation to deal with those stupid, disgusting, totally worthless tentacle monsters that would be coming to ruin our time.
The others were also busy working on trying to ascend as well while Elaria seemed to have gone off to do something else to prepare although she was very cryptic in her explanation that made no sense to me. The only thing I managed to understand was her saying something about a star of death or something.
For Brendan, he decided on focusing his time on working with that vial of Origin Liquid Master had given him. If he could comprehend the liquid completely, then we have instant Godhood on our hands and possibly a weapon that we can use against those monsters as well.
Tsuki was also hard at work trying to ascend, swearing that she would definitely do better than Elaria’s ‘stupid giant ball’ which really made no sense to us.
That left me and my three other selves where we are actually attempting something pretty crazy.
We all know that we have the lowest chance of helping Master with how slow we were progressing so we had asked Brendan to give us one of the Origin Liquids.
“Are you sure?” The alchemist asked worriedly. “It’s true that this can grant you anything you can think of, but there’s a chance that you can also cease to exist you know? And it’s not a small chance too, I’m talking about a ninety percent chance of that happening.”
“Then dats’ a ten percent chance of gettin’ Godhood? Those rates aren’t so bad,” Bait mused.
“I’m serious,” Brendan admonished. “Master gave clear instructions to me on how to handle this. If I’m not careful, this could potentially destroy our world as well.”
“Natural… Master…” Laverna commented.
I agreed, “Since this is quite literally a bottle of Master’s powers, it should be a given that such a thing is possible so why the surprise?”
Brendan turned to me, “Then you should know that to even hold a bottle of this in your hand is already a big risk by itself, much less use it. The more I understand about what Origin is, the more I realise that we are infinitely fortunate that Master even looks at us.”
That got Denna’s attention, “Why do you say so, brother Brendan?”
He gestured to the vial on the table, “It’s easy to say that Master is omnipotent and omniscient, but do you truly understand what it means to wield such powers?”
I looked at the other mes before shaking our heads at Brendan.
He raised his finger, “Consider this… You have the power to do anything you want. What would you do?”
I shrugged, “Anything I want to do I suppose?”
“Yes but what, exactly?”
“I guess… Spend everyday with Master? Preferably in bed?”
“And what if Master doesn’t want to do that?”
“Umm… Then I guess I’ll just do something else while waiting for Master?”
Brendan raised an eyebrow and did a twirling motion with his wrist, signalling me to elaborate.
I pondered for a bit, “I guess… Maybe go out and explore a little?”
“But why?” Brendan asked. “With your omnipotence, you would be able to make Master do anything you want. If you wanted to sleep with Him the entire day, you simply need to think and His own desires will match yours.”
“Immoral…” Laverna muttered.
Denna nodded, “To change Master’s will just because we didn’t get what we want, this one humbly thinks such an action is unacceptable.”

Brendan smirked, “But why? Who is around to stop you?”
“Ourselves of course!” Bait stated confidently.
“Mmm… Let’s set aside the question of how long you are able to resist that temptation for now and look at it a different way. With Omniscience, you are able to know what exactly you need to do and say to make Master spend the entire day in bed with you, would you do that then?”
There, our opinions were split.
Bait and I felt there wasn’t a problem with doing that while Laverna and Denna disagreed.
“But we’re just convincing Master, aren’t we? We aren’t controlling Him,” I argued.
“Manipulation…” Laverna protested, her brows furrowing.
That was true to an extent I suppose but won’t us convincing Master meant that He wanted to do it in some way as well?
Brendan started pacing in front of us, “And what if there are obstacles stopping you? Maybe some war broke out that required Master’s attention, causing Him to ignore you.”
“Then we’ll go stop it of course,” I answered, the other three agreeing instantly.
“How? Neither side aims for peace until the other is dead and slaughtered, would you use your omnipotence to forcefully manipulate them?”
“For Master, yes.”
Brendan stopped pacing and turned to me, “When have you seen Master do such a thing?”
We didn’t need to think.
“Never…”
The alchemist nodded, “Has Master ever tried to convince us to do anything?”
“No…”
“And let’s remember that there’s worlds out there for us to explore, would you still stay here? Or would you want to venture out and explore the other worlds?”
The answer was obvious. When presented with a choice of infinite possibilities, we would definitely take it. But Master had chosen to stay here with us instead.
Brendan also realised that he already got his point across so he let a smile materialise on his lips, “With all that power, all the capability, Master chose to settle down here with us. You are asking to be able to hold this power in your hands and not abuse it. Do you trust yourself with it? Because I most certainly don’t. There are days where I simply thought to just drink this and do everything I had ever wanted.”
I frowned, “So I’m guessing that you’re rejecting our request of taking a vial for ourselves?”
He laughed, “Oh! Not at all! I’m just giving all of you a warning about the potential dangers you might face and what you could be using it for. This literally allows you to do anything, so be careful of what you wish for. It’s not even like those cursed items that grant your wishes in a convoluted way, it gives you exactly what you want but that might also be seen as a curse in some way, I suppose.”
Brendan then slid the vial wordlessly closer to us.
Bait tilted her head at him, “Just like that?”
“Just like that,” He nodded. “Just be careful with it. Seriously. I had Master to guide me in handling this, you don’t. But I’m also not good enough to guide you in using this either.”
I went forward and took the vial in my hands, holding it carefully like I would something belonging to Master… Which I suppose it was.
“Ok… So what do you suggest we do with it?”
“That’s up to you, isn’t it?” Brendan chuckled. “If it was me… I would even say the safest thing to wish for right now is a room full of money. You can wish for Godhood, but if you don’t word it correctly, you might not get the kind of Godhood you want. After all, just getting a drop of Divine energy in you technically makes you Divine too.”
He then shooed us out of his lab after wishing us good luck.
Ugh… Well, there’s four of us, how hard could it be to think of something?
