God said that this world is a continuous cycle.
From the beginning of the world to its destruction, this cycle repeats itself, returning to the very beginning.
Despite the seemingly long timeline, the cyclical laws governing this world are only about ten thousand years long.
Because there is no concept of the universe here, the vastness of the world can encompass everything.
The sun was created by God, and so was the earth.
Wind, clouds, water, and fire—all were created by the gods.
Thus, the world began to take shape without spending much more time on development.
From this arose various races, and life on earth was born.
Ten thousand years later, the world is destroyed, and we return to the beginning.
The world was created by Chaos, from which the supreme god emerged, and time began to flow anew.
Finally, after ten thousand years, the cycle repeats itself.
In my consciousness, I have experienced ten thousand reincarnations.
[And this is something I only realized after I transcended the name 'Chaos'.]
The illusory chat box flickered before Victor's eyes once more, as if trying to unveil the true face of this world.
But apart from me, no one else knows about the world's restart.
I suddenly realized that the world may have restarted countless times.
Bearing the name 'Chaos,' I have also experienced countless cycles of amnesia.
Until I transcended the consciousness of 'Chaos' and was no longer bound by this identity.
"Wait a moment."
Viktor suddenly interrupted Chaos's words, which were intertwined with the void, and asked a question.
"Since you say that you were able to remember all this because you transcended the constraints of names, what about the goddess of nature?"
From a player's perspective, Chaos's words wouldn't surprise him.
After all, that's how games are.
Once players have completed the game, there is no more content to play, so all that remains is the final ending.
Players can then naturally choose to restart the game, create a new save file, and replay the game's story.
Once players complete the game, there is no more content, and naturally, the final ending arrives.
This has become an important reason for the world's cycle to restart.
However, Chaos transcended the role that the game itself had assigned him.
Thus, it became aware of the world's restart and retained the memories of countless restarts.
If that's the case, then what about the goddess of nature?
Isn't her rejection of the name Gaia also a way of transcending the constraints of the role?
But soon, Victor realized he was overthinking it.
She truly refused to become 'Gaia,' transcending that name.
But...
Chaos in the sky seemed to sigh, and his crimson eyes dimmed slightly.
Those frozen, sculpted faces also quietly drooped, and withered, yellow fragments, like fallen leaves, slowly drifted down.
He sighed, as if expressing his feelings.
Her choice to refuse the name given to her was a form of rebellion.
Resistance will be suppressed.
Her existence will be erased, and completely erased from her consciousness.
That's why she split off from the calamity, and that's why she must constantly pass on her essence.
Only through continuous self-transmission can the continuation of nature be guaranteed.
Only in this way can we ensure that the name 'Gaia' will not be reassigned to nature at the start of the next cycle.
Do you know how many times the lineage of the Goddess of Nature has been passed down?
Viktor narrowed his eyes, looking at the number of times that appeared before him, a number that sent shivers down his spine.
[Ten thousand times.]
[Based solely on the number of times I've retained the memories, she has already passed it on tens of thousands of times.]
From the very beginning, she is no longer the same person who split off from me and rejected the name Gaia.
Upon seeing this, Viktor frowned, a question surfacing in his mind.
So, what exactly does Erica's existence represent?
Is she the role that the goddess of nature intends to pass on?
Don't overthink it. Each goddess of nature will not choose the same successor; otherwise, fate will remember them and erase them in advance.
[It just so happens that the goddess of nature in this timeline is the mother of the little girl beside you, so she bestowed her legacy upon her.]
[Watching each descendant inherit nature, one must rack their brains to choose the successor in order not to affect the future timeline.]
This is also one of my few sources of enjoyment.
Seeing this, Viktor took a deep breath.
No wonder he didn't discover the relationship between Erica and the Goddess of Nature while playing the game.
Because the game character 'Erica' at the time had absolutely no connection to the goddess of nature.
Until he appeared here, this timeline of the game began.
The legacy of the goddess of nature passed to Erica's mother, and Erica became the inheritor.
Therefore, it was not that Levi married the goddess of nature.
In this timeline, Reeves' wife happens to become the goddess of nature and give birth to Erica.
He never imagined that Erica would become one of the variables.
But you, Viktor.
Chaos, whose arms were crossed, suddenly had a twisted new arm split off from his entangled arms.
It looked exactly the same as its previous two arms, except that its fingers were now stretched out with difficulty, pointing at Victor.
Your appearance has influenced this timeline shift.
