Chronicles of the Multiversal Wanderer

Chapter 199: Ch. 192 - The Lost Half



"So that's the other half? I feel the chills just by being near it." Rapunzel shivered while saying, showing how much the soul of Jin can pressure someone just by being in its vicinity.

"I can also feel the same." Elsa nodded her head in agreement, along with Tigress and Mavis.

"Should we tell your father about it? I mean we already did, so you should inform him." Mavis asked in curiosity.

"...." After thinking about what Mavis said for a few seconds, he made the decision.

"I don't think we should....If I already got my other half, which means God must've known about it by now and since he isn't calling me, that means he probably wants me to face this myself." Jin said with a resolute expression on his face, not knowing that someone just lost another bet.

"Knowing him, I think this is what he wants for me." Jin continued and after getting no more response from them, he decided to proceed with the merging.

"I'll leave first and settle this matter by myself, I don't know what will happen to me after this but if something bad happens to me, you guys might accidentally get hurt. So stay here and wait for me." Jin said before standing up and teleporting. He knew that what he just said would just make them more intrigued and adamant on going along with him, so he already went first and disappeared.

***

"See, I told you he's gonna face it himself. Face it loser." Back in God's domain, Aeloria was having the worst time of her life as she just lost a bet from the drunk god beside her.

"Shut it!"

"Heh, loser."

"You!!!"

"Don't fight both of you!" God sighed on weariness, he's like a single father nursing his two indifferent children.

"Just sit beside me, both of you, will you?"

As soon as God left those words from his mouth, both childy gods quickly sat on their respective chairs, resuming their watch on Jin, excited on the thought of the long forgotten Devil to finally go back to the living.

***

Appearing in a wide empty desert, Jin stepped on the ground and looked around, checking if he missed something and if it was truly empty.

"This should be a good place." Jin muttered to himself before returning his attention back on us other half that he is holding.

"I wonder what will happen once I merge with it, will I receive brand new memories or will I become a new being? I'm....afraid." For the first time since Jin's rebirth, he was nervous. So nervous that he felt like his heart would jump out of his chest.

That's how nervous he is.

He's afraid that everything that he has and worked so hard for would all be thrown into the window, forever disappearing in the multiverse and never to be seen again.

If that really happens then what about Tigress, Rapunzel, Elsa and Mavis? What will happen to them?

Will they be sad if he's gone?

"Hooo~ no use for brooding about it." Jin shook his head again and said to himself before raising the soul and letting it flow back inside him smoothly.

Since it naturally belongs to him, there's no need to go in any way just to put it back inside him.

*Thump!* x20

However, what Jin wasn't expecting was the moment his soul collided with his other half, Jin suddenly felt a sound inside him. At first, Jin thought it was his heart however, he realized that the sound beats different from his heart beat which means the sound is not something that came from his heart but something more inside of him.

"What's going on?!" Clutching his chest, Jin felt a slight tinge of pain along with his vision slowly darkening, as if he was dying.

"No...I-I can't die yet." Jin bit his lip in frustration, he felt his body starting to go limp and his heart beating slower and slower as time passed by, as if he was dying.

Before long, Jin felt his body going numb and his vision darkening completely.

He is scared.

Scared for what is about to come.

He is feeling regret.

Regret for not giving a proper goodbye to his loved ones.

And finally, he is not content.

He wants more, he wants to be more than he is now. He can't just give up.

"Your fear is meaningless." Suddenly, in the middle of his monologue, Jin was interrupted by someone.

Jin then noticed that his vision is not completely gone, he's in somewhere dark.

How did he know? Jin saw someone in front of him, someone that looked at him.

Jin can't tell what he's feeling right now. All he can say is that he could feel an indescribable feeling inside him.

"You are..." Guessing what the being in front of him is, the said being interrupted him and introduced himself.

"Yes, I am you, Jin. Or should I call you, Samael." The being nodded his head and confirmed the assumptions he has in his head.

"You are not Jin, that is a name you took in order to forget about your past. A past you want to forget because you know that your current life is a hundred times better than the previous one." The being said to Jin, or who is now called Sam.

"....How did you know about it?" Sam looked down on the ground with a disgraced expression. He knows that there's no use in hiding it from the being in front of him. After all, like what he said, He's him.

The reason why he felt disgraced is the fact that he felt like he was ungrateful to his parents and friends that he made in his past life. After all, his last life is not completely that bad and can be said to be above average, which doesn't give him enough reason to forget about it.

Perhaps it is because by forgetting about it, he would be able to completely enjoy and immerse himself in his current life.

"You don't need to be ashamed about it. After all, that previous life of yours doesn't truly exist." The being dropped a shocking bomb on Sam, who was still brooding towards it.

"What....do you mean...." Sam gulped his saliva in nervousness, wanting to know what his other self meant by what he said.

"It's an artificial world that is created by our father in order to fully accommodate you and grow properly. It's like a chicken in its coop, as the owner of the chicken, you obviously have to make it have a good environment to grow to the way that you expect, right?" His other half said, making Jin's blood go cold.

Does he mean that God arranged everything in his life? Has he been dancing under someone's palm all this time? Is that why his previous life seems to be so perfect?

"I'll give you a choice, Sam." His other half interrupted him again and said before continuing.

"In exchange for creating a world for you, a real world for you where you can resume your previous life where you left off, give me your current life." The being said while kneeling in front of him, to face his eye level.

Sam froze when he heard his other half's words.

His previous parents, friends, and career flashed in his mind.

"I....."

"Take your time to choose. Just know what you will lose if you refuse this." His other half said and as if wanting to remind him, he created a figure of his parents and friends. All in a single row, seemingly as if waiting for him to come back.

"Sam! It's time to come home! I made your favourite!" His mother yelled at him with a very familiar soft voice that quickly touched his heart.

"Come here son! Let's watch some Lakers! Lebron will become an MVP this year, I'm sure of it!"

"Come on, Sam! Let's play some playstation!"

"Sam Johnson, I'd like to offer you a role as Deadpool in Deadpool & Wolverine film!"

Seeing and hearing all of these, Sam felt an indescribable feeling inside his chest. His previous life is so simple yet perfect. So...tempting.

"Sam! You're falling for his tricks! He's the original devil! He's the personification of all sins combined!" Just as Sam started to feel tempted in the offer, he suddenly heard a faint yelling voice inside his mind, waking him up from his stupor.

"Don't listen to them Sam, listen to me! They're just using you for their own use! You have your own freedom to choose and do what you want!" As if hearing as same thing as Sam is hearing, his other half who is now revealed as the original Lucifer, quickly pushed Sam to make a decision.

"I....Refuse." After a moment of hesitation and finally having a clear mind to think carefully, Sam refused.

The image of Tigress, Rapunzel, Elsa and Mavis flashed within his eyes.

"You...You refused?! Why! You're still dancing on that senile old man's palm! Remember, this is what he wants! He wants you to take over me! This is all going according to his plan! Trust me, Sam! I'm you!" Lucifer then grabbed both Jin's shoulders and shook him, nervousness can be heard seeping through his voice.

"Why do you even want to live my life? You killed yourself, didn't you?" This time, Sam is even more confused.

"....I killed myself because of him." Lucifer then spat with slight venom on his voice when he mentioned him.
