Chapter 6 - First Epilogue: The Chase Ends Here

As the Scientist, Xavier Quentin Salazar, who rather unintentionally found himself snared in a bamboo starvation prison by the Japanese Chief-Daimyo of the Kanto region of the Sengoku-period of Japan, escaped his captivity from imprisonment and went on a single man coup-de-tat against his captors and the Japanese hierarchy of this period, got granted powers by a sketchy god-like entity known as the "One Who Made Light and Dark" (and in turn, destroying all of Japan, and, over the course of 580 years, 5 entire continents via a massive relapse of rapid inverse continental drifting due to the massive meteor dropped on the God-emperor Edo-sama's palace), and eventual escape by resurrecting his formerly discombobulated Fairy-Tale Maker, now rid of all its improper properties, to fly out of the pseudo-Earth that he was held captive in at hypersonic speeds (now with the speed accelerating by the dozens each second).

He flew his way past the atmosphere in just mere seconds after shooting beyond escape velocity, then shot past the moon in just a second, past Mars, the asteroid belt and Jupiter in just two seconds, then past Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the Kuiper belt in 5 seconds (even destroying through 5 of Saturns moons via the massive, gamma ray-sized shock waves from the speed of the FTM, by the 10th second, Pluto, the Inner and Outer Oort Cloud was out of sight, and just by the 250th second, the FTM shot past distant solar systems and out of the Milky Way galaxy, and by the 300th second, he was shooting past galaxies at such a speed that, if struck at, even black holes would shatter upon impact.

He flew past webs and clusters of galaxies (might've accidentally wiped out a few dozen clusters himself when he shot past, probably about 40% of that universe, but could he prevent it, it was simply pre-destined) at the 310th second, and by the 320th second, after destroying an entire country, 5 continents, a few moons, billions of galaxies, and about 40% of life in the observable universe on accident (Terra-002), he flew out of the observable universe and into eternal darkness for a few mere moments.

This was his biggest dream, more than making the FTM, more than beating the everlasting piss out of the corrupt samurai, his biggest dream was go around the entire universe, and to see if the multiverse theory was proven to be true, he was gravely upset at the revelation and leaned across the chair to express his discomfort.

As he sighed at the revelation, he was thrown back and landed face first onto the large metal door that kept the FTM shut, he bounced around like a ping-pong, unbeknownst to him that he crashed and bounced off of another 10 different universes in his path like he was a white pool ball bouncing off other pool balls.

As he looked through the window of the FTM, he saw the FTM whizz past the universes, like they were dots in the sky.

He whizzed past another universe ahead of him, narrowly missing it entirely, which in turn, resulted in the universe dissipating and dissolving into nothingness due to the sheer shock radiation that melted it like an ice-cream.

As Xavier flashed in and out of consciousness and warped around the ship like a ping pong ball, the entire multiverse shifted out of sight, he tapped into a massive portal of black and white, so great was the G-Force that it felt as if he was chained to 4 black holes on each limb, pulling him apart and spaghettifying him as they all moves away in different directions.

Xavier's FTM travelled at an immeasurable speed, so fast that the next minute or so was pitch black, not like space where minimal light could be seen, no, nothing, pitch black, pure darkness, so dark that not even light could escape it.

But no, this was no ordinary black hole, as even if the FTM from just minutes ago collided with one stellar black hole, it would shatter it upon impact, and may even result in the total wipeout of an entire universe (mind you, this was a much watered-down FTM, not even 50% as capable as the original FTM from the novel), this was the extra-dimensional portal that led him to Terra-002, it was a gateway that handled things that travel beyond the relativistic speeds, and even after being able to handle speeds that are infinite, even so, white cracks slowly but surely appear on the pitch black gateway, Xavier flashed into consciousness and his pupils turn white. 

After cracks appear all over the portal, small holes open up on the cracks, peering through the portal as if it were shot through with a harpoon.

As soon as Xavier gained full consciousness, the extra-dimensional portal shattered into shards of pitch black glass, and a bright light swarmed his eyes shut.

Xavier took on the brace position as he was forcefully ripped off his seat, and slammed through the window and landed on a terrain that felt like shards of glass. 

'*Ugh*, what just happened to me?', Xavier groaned, as he put his hands to his eyes, still closed from the bright light emitted from the white sun of the extra-dimensional realm.

The shards of glass that lay beneath him dissipated into thin air, he couldn't see it happen with his own eyes, yet could feel the shards beneath him disappear.

'Welcome young man to Valhalla, arise and open your eyes!', a voice similar to one that encountered Xavier minutes ago chimes in, however much more delirious and welcoming than prior.

Xavier opened his eyes, and smiled excitingly, he got up and screamed 'THE ONE WHO MADE LIGHT AND DARK, YOU'RE...here?, how are you here? I thought you were in the...white void...'

'I was never in the white void, that being in the white void was my younger brother, the Khanadark god, Rupin, he is the one that gave you your powers, he has the ability to shape-shift at will, and so, took on the form of I, the One Who Made Light and Dark, to deceive you into granting him your soul, all in return to become a disciple of his and gain his powers temporarily, he also deceived I.'

'How so?' Xavier questioned such tomfoolery, The One Who Made Light and Dark responded, 'See, he took on the form of your father soul, and you see, if you are a soul, I cannot distinguish whether they are the real soul or not. He approached me using your father's form, requesting for a share of my power, and being the benevolent being I was, I let him have a portion of my power, little did I know, it was one of my stupid little brothers trying to gain one over me and gain the title of "Supreme God" after our father, Manhavén, steps down from the ranks, as a result, the bastard used a dark binding spell using my own power to bind me in this dimension for the next 12 eons, precisely 6,121,050,000 years, practically anything you do is nullified and reverted back to its original state, even if you end yourself repeatedly, one year here is a second in the real world, however I experience things in human time, hence I'm practically as weak as you are until the timeframe of 20 eons passes by, and the same goes for you, we are practically birds in a cage.'

Xavier, registering this into his mind let out a sight before screaming out aloud, 'FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! WHY DID I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT BASTARD, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF ABOUT THAT SCUM!'.

Silence ensued for an awkward moment, being honest, there was no need for words to be shared between them, they both got swindled, hence both felt no need to express themselves. They were simply drained of all their power, all the glory that filled all of reality was their glory, and yet, almost all their power was drained off them. The One Who Made Light and Dark, who looks almost identical to the father of Xavier, minus a few wrinkles and strands of hair, put a hand on the shoulders on the grieving Xavier, and said to him, 'Young man, I know you have went through a lot to get here, and I know we have both been deceived by the Khanadark god, Galak, but from the minimal powers I retain, I can tell you this one prophecy, and of this one prophecy only:

In 195 years, the year 2185 to be precise, when both of us are (legally) freed from the Valhalla dimension, three superhuman individuals with alien heritage will break out of the hyper-prison structure known as Azardiz Sanctorium in your world, the world that you had just decimated by plunging an entire nation into the depths of the ocean, these individuals will take on the Galactic Alliance of this universe, and fight their champion, the descendant of Galak, the demigod known as Shade Light, who, in turn makes mortal enemies with my champion, a juvenile human male from Terra-045 whom I know will serve me well, mark my word though, I will regain my full powers and break both of us free exactly a few eons before we're legally released from our shackles, and when I do, I will appear to my champion in a dream and save him from a life threatening battle with a drug-affiliated gang leader known by the pseudonym Silvers Easau and make a pact with him which leads him to a barren planet where he'll survive off the fat of the land and the water, adapting to his new lifestyle.

Just as he gets used to the adaptation, he will get ambushed by the 4 Khanadark gods, my younger siblings, Galak, Kalak, Romelus and Rupin, will ambush my champion and leave him on the verge of death, however, as he draws near to his death, I will save him once more to show that I am a benevolent deity, and truthful heir to the throne of gods, and in the impending that battle that follows will lead me and the other 4 Khanadarks to wipe out entire cosmic dimensions and macrocosms in the process, in which, I will perish, but fear not as my essence lives on in the body of my champion, and my powers, knowledge, grace and integrity will be passed down to one of the three super powered alien individual who will grant miracles and wipe out evil. At one point, the three wind up on the barren planet that my champion resided in for the past 50 years of his life after committing an unspeakable act that collapses the stability of all the galaxies in the universe, and hence, wind up asking for assistance from my champion.

Eventually, the evil demigod ends up showing up, leading to the perish of my champion, which leads to the trio to be split up across different quadrants of that universe. I bestow upon you one task, I want you to meet up with successor who has access to my spiritual prowess, in return, I will break you out of this dimension and bestow upon you all the promises that was falsely bestowed upon thee by my deceitful brother, as compensation for the falsehood and the forgiveness of his sins, in return, you stay loyal to the task given to you, fair deal?' 

Xavier took in all of this information quite easily, he managed to come to an ultimatum after just a few seconds of thinking. 

He smiled at the deity, and replied to his deal, 'Ok, let's make this thing work once and for all!'

The two gave each other a smirk and shook hands on the deal and gave a 'you got it' look to each other. A deal that will ultimately make or break the flow of the Boundless region of Space and Time.
