(MC POV)
Finishing her declaration of me belonging to her, The End turned her sights to my disciples, fully intent on ending their existences.
I immediately put myself in front of them, blocking them from her view.
"Ara? What are you doing, Master? Please let me put an end to the hindrances that are obstructing your return to perfection."
I turned to look at my disciples, "Go, leave this place. I'll deal with her."
"But… Master…" Lian Li protested.
"This is my order as your Master. You already figured a way to escape this world haven't you? Return back to your bodies, I will come back after dealing with her."
The End tilted her head, "Ara, ara? This world is my Creation, you know? No one can leave without my permission~"
I turned back to her, "Not if I have a say about it…"
When I had figured out about my omniscience, I had been spending all this time using it to comprehend the extent of my abilities. I'm still in the process of learning, but what I know now is enough to do this.
Concentrating on my hold over Origin, I extended my will over the world that we occupied and changed the rules of this place.
At that moment, our surroundings changed and we were no longer in space anymore. Instead, we were now standing in a completely white room that stretched on infinitely.
Now she shouldn't be able to use this world against us.
The End gasped, "Ara? Even with just a small fraction of your real power, Master is able to dominate a space I created! As expected of Master!"
Yep, she's got a screw loose alright, she's actually happy about this…
"As expected of Master!"
"Papa, cool!"
"Onii-sama is the best!"
"Aniue, so cool!"
Ah… Nevermind, there's them too, I suppose.
With them as awestruck as they currently are, I think they've already forgotten about the predicament they're in…
I was about to send them out myself when the air cackled again, the sound of something breaking echoing throughout the space before a rift tore open behind The End.
Huh… For someone to actually manage to tear open this space after I've taken over it… Oh wait, I'm not at full strength yet so that's actually still something easy for cosmic level beings to do. The only question is who?
Before I could even react, a figure had already broken out of the rift and made a straight dash towards me, hitting me in the chest.
"Daddy!!"
I looked down to see Lilith hugging me while rubbing her face on me, "Ehehe~ Daddy, Daddy, Daddy~"
Err… What?
Someone else grabbed my leg and I looked down to see the pouty face of Cai Hong.
"Muuuu!! Papa! Papa! Papa!"
Wait, hold on, my mind is still processing all this. Why is Lilith calling me her daddy?
Oh, right… I created her too… And the rest of the universe as well but please don't any of you start calling me 'Daddy' ok?
She's one of the cosmic beings that I had created without a specific purpose in mind to test what the fate of this universe was. Whether these beings would band together to create a new order, fight amongst themselves and kill each other, or just wander around without a care was entirely up to them.
Apparently I had expected them to be the cause of this universe's eventual destruction, but I had miscalculated the fact that some of them came to see me as their father.
It was even worse than the Myriad Colours Dragons' case since they still had their 'mother', but I had created Lilith and her siblings by myself after I created those dragons.
Since the other me had the mental density of a black hole and couldn't figure out why The End wanted to raise the Myriad Colours Dragons as my 'children', I ended up taking care of these cosmic beings on the side as well.
Needless to say, Lilith turned out to have a really big father complex to the point of butting heads with The End just for my attention.
Again, the 'impartial' me didn't care about either of them and never bothered to intervene.
And because The End never really cared about the Myriad Colours Dragons, she pretty much neglected them in favour of competing with Lilith and her siblings.
As a result of that, the Myriad Colours Dragons felt quite left out by their 'mother' and began looking to me for attention as well.
I guess this was what caused the current predicament…
Lilith glared at Cai Hong, "You… Why don't you go find your mommy over there? I've finally reunited with my Daddy and here you are obstructing me as usual."
"Boo… Cai Hong with Papa longer! Mean sister can go home!"
"Why you little… Why are you even talking like that?! Are you making fun of me?!"
If you like to know… Lilith used to talk like Cai Hong when she was just born.
I patted both of the girls' heads, "Umm… Lilith?"
"Yes, Daddy?"
"Didn't you… You know… Try to kill me not so long ago?"
Lilith gasped and quickly got on her knees, "Please forgive this foolish daughter, Daddy! If I had known it was Daddy in your mortal form, I wouldn't have said all those things! Please punish me as you see fit!"
I heard a soft squeal emanating behind me.
No, Diao Chan, she is most definitely not your kindred spirit. She just takes this sort of thing seriously, that's all. Do not try to introduce her to S and M.
The End giggled, "Fufufufu… It really does look like I have to do a little purge around Master to clear out all these hindrances…"
Lilith turned her head and finally realised who was standing behind her.
The demoness scowled, "You… What are you doing here again? Are you here to annoy Daddy again?"
The End snapped her fingers and Lilith disappeared without a sound.
I knew instinctively that she had just ended Lilith's existence right there and then.
A cosmic being simply ceased to exist because The End had willed them to.
The End switched her sights to Cai Hong but I reacted faster, bending the reality around all of my disciples and teleporting their consciousness back to their real bodies.
The End frowned at me, "Why is Master doing this? Can't you see that I'm doing this for your own good? Master doesn't need anyone else who would just cause trouble for you. You only need me and me alone. The rest of the Universe is unnecessary."
I reached out my will across the fabric of existence and pulled my body to materialise in front of me, allowing myself to re-inhibit it and grant myself access to more of my powers.
I did notice that my body was suspiciously naked for some reason but didn't think too much about it and conjured up another set of clothes for myself.
I then shifted the two of us out of the false world that I had been imprisoned in and teleported us to the centre of the universe where the rest of my Origin Energy was stored.
Instead of the house I had seen before, this place was a simple white space with just the ball of Origin energy hovering on top of a pedestal.
Without hesitation, I immediately made my way towards it, stopping in front of it with my right hand slightly raised.
The End realised what I was doing right away.
"Does Master really insist on taking this path? I am not afraid to fight Master if it means I can obtain you, you know?"
"Oh, I know. I just hope that I can show you the alternative way instead of what you have planned. And those very same words, I direct them back to you."
With that, I plunged my hand into the ball of Origin energy.
Here comes unlimited power…
