Chapter 2189: The Origin Tree

Enoch was becoming the Luminious Whole, and the being that he was becoming was not complete; there was still one more piece missing.

He felt fear.

From the dawn of time, End had always been the one erasing Origin because of the disadvantages imposed upon Existence by the Great One.

For all the powers of End, there was one thing it was missing, and that was the power for self-growth.

However, all things were supposed to be balanced in creation, as Origin and End appeared at the same time, and the original design was for Origin to give up a part of itself to End every now and then to maintain the balance.

This was necessary because Origin was a power of unchecked and chaotic creation, and if there was nothing to erase the malignancy and rot that may arise when a power it created went out of bounds, then in time Origin would be destroyed.

The power of End grew and also did its appetite, but the intrinsic nature of Origin and End were the same, and the only reason End was able to suppress Origin for so long was because End had a master and Origin did not.

Did they think he would fight a rigged game?

What he needed was the core of that painting, which he had been doing when he collected all of its Origin, and now that he had all of that, in addition to the soul of Existence itself, Eos created a new Existence, the Origin Tree.

Still, Eos had to fight for this Existence and pretend that he needed it to survive whatever was to come, but everything he had seen had shown him that Existence had become far too broken to ever be salvaged again.

In the end, it was not the Luminious that ended Existence, it had gone out on its own terms, seeking a rebirth instead of an extension to its life.
