Lv1 Skeleton Chapter 140

“Ragnarok? Did I hear wrong? Abbadon?”

“I think I heard it too.”

“Are you crazy, L?”

“Please listen until the end, I was about to explain it.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

L closed his eyes as he attempted to organize his thoughts, also receiving some input from Sha.

“Exactly….”

“A miniature Ragnarok. Originally, Ragnarok is a phenomenon caused by Omega. It uses Anti-Higgs particles, which are the ant.i.thesis of Higgs particles termed by humans, to turn all matter in the universes into energy.

“Higgs, Anti-Higgs… what the h.e.l.l are you talking about?”

“Well, I might need to further explain the process of creation and destruction of the universes. So you should already know that we are in charge of the Alpha, and Abbadon is the Omega, right?”

“Yes… I’m aware.”

“And the positrons which you create, Johra, they don’t normally exist in the universe, right?”

“I guess, if positron were to form naturally, then matter would disappear and the universe would cease to exist.”

“Then do you know what occurs when a positron encounters an electron?”

“Energy…?”

“Right, once they are paired, they disappear and turn into energy. This is a fundamental part of the destruction of the

universes.

“Yes, I’ve used their explosive properties to great effect over the years.”

“Okay, but what if the opposite happens, and energy is turned back into positrons and electrons?”

“Wouldn’t it use up the energy and create matter?”

“That’s right, and the particles which are formed from such a reaction are known as Higgs particles. Also, their ant.i.thesis are Anti-Higgs particles, which is what Abbadon controls when she turns matter into energy as the Omega.”

“So you’re saying that the Higgs particles are the power of Alpha and the Anti-Higgs the power of the Omega…?”

“Something like that, just that we don’t control the particles themselves, but rather the larger picture. Omega is in charge of reduction of matter into energy, while us Alpha take energy and turn it into matter. In that way the universes are constantly recycled and don’t fade away.

“What does that have to do with Ragnarok though?”

“Ragnarok refers to the Omega’s role of recycling matter into energy.”

“Not annihilation, but rather recycling?”

“Right, because it is a process which can be restored.”

“What do you mean by that.”

“Well, everything which had been turned into energy, can once again become

become matter.”

“Something about that feels off.”

“Why, what’s wrong?”

“If complete restoration was possible, then wouldn’t that cycle continue on for eternity?”

“That’s right.”

“So basically, the fact that this endless cycle has been broken is something that should never have occured? An example of that is the fact that you two were split up as a result, right?”

“Indeed.”

L answered with a bright smile.

‘Why is he so happy, isn’t this one of those paradoxes?’

“So how can we explain the current phenomenon?”

Sha and I as the Alpha, and Abbadon as the Omega have overseen countless reincarnations of the universes. We were trapped in that endless cycle when Johra arrived and put an end to it all.

“Uh… when exactly did I do this? In the future?”

“That’s right, this would normally not have been possible, but the future broke the chain of continuity.”

“What… just how did I?”

L shook his head.

“It’s unclear, I only know that Johra and Sha have made some secret arrangement in the future.

“An arrangement?”

I thought back to that promise, the one which had appeared in my dreams countless times. Finally there was a clue regarding it.

“With Sha? L, ask

L, ask Sha about this promise we supposedly made!”

“Sha proceed to shake her head and silently communicate with L.”

“To this date Sha hasn’t informed me of the details of your promise. She says that you’ll find out all about it in the next cycle of the universe.

“So I can only hear about it next time… d.a.m.n, I can’t do anything without any clues!”

I looked up and stared into Sha’s eyes.

“Sha said, you don’t need to worry it. So far you been keeping your promise well.”

“Phuuu.. why does it feel like I’m getting trolled.”

“Jorha hush, L, tell me what this miniature Ragnarok is all about”, Abbadon spoke up.

“In order to realign the time axis, a reduction of matter is required.”

“Turning matter into energy? So in the end Abbadon, as the Omega….”

“No, when Abbadon is fully released as the Omega the she will completely wipe all matter from the universes, we can’t have that right now.

“Then how?”

Sha and I will fuse with a part of her. According to her theory, we should then have some measure of control over Anti-Higgs particles, at least enough to ensure a controlled ensure a controlled Ragnarok.”

“So you’ll be selective about what matter you turn into energy?”

“Right, by personally dealing with all the time paradoxes and turning them into energy, the universes should be realigned.”

“Kind of like some time capsule to set us on the right course.”

Finally the process had become clear to me. Of course, due to that the fear of the word Ragnarok, stemming from the Northern European Mythology was no more, seeing as I now knew that it was but one part of the endless recycling of the universes.

Although Ragnarok did indeed cause the destruction of all things, A rebirth would occur at the hands of the surviving High G.o.ds.

“I have a question, do you have complete control as to how you use the miniature Ragnarok?”

“Right, but….”

“But?”

Both Abbadon and I fired back immediately.

“If we don’t fuse together, then we won’t gain the ability to reduce matter into energy.”

“Then you guys will end up playing a key role.”

“Yes, we also need a place to house the matter that we reduce into energy, a place that isn’t affected by time.”

“Some kind of storage s.p.a.ce?”

“Exactly.”

Sha and El nodded back solemnly.
