Chapter 297
"The convergence of souls, the continuous Inheritance of consciousness, the power that connects the faintest life to everything—this is a flame powerful enough to burn everything."
Kavia fearlessly looked directly at the Supreme Brahman, who was so close at hand.
"Supreme Brahman, you appear in the form of Krishna; do you feel the fire of my Wrath?"
"..."
"If you consider me to be your substitute, that's perfectly acceptable, for all things reside within you, and—"
Behind the silver-haired youth, an endless Universe landscape unfolds, a solemn blend of light and darkness, a vast and boundless mental landscape.
"I am in all things, even you, the Supreme Brahman."
With a single tear as a sign of mourning, he released all the power he had at that moment.
The two sides clashed with all their might, but neither produced the slightest resistance.
But the next second, with a single slash, immeasurable speed and energy shattered the surrounding Universe at the center of the 'room,' and the Supreme Brahman himself, shining with Rainbow- colored light, had disintegrated into 'worlds gradually heading towards destruction.'
Was it destroyed? Or did it self-destruct? But whatever the case, in Indian Mythology, the ultimate reality that transcends all descriptions and concepts, described as the formless, eternally supreme, pervading all things and all places in the Universe, is thus gradually destroyed.
The weight of the 'world' gradually decreased, as if feathers were falling from wings, and everything that made up the world crumbled and fell away piece by piece.
This signifies the end of an era.
... In this way, the strict hierarchical distinctions of the Dharma no longer Dharma on the land of Bharata.
Era--
This cruel era has truly come to an end.
"Thanks."
We express our gratitude to the Supreme Brahman, who created the world.
I also thank the countless courageous people in the world.
Finally, at the center of the Myriad Universes, Kavia opened the door that bound everything. In an instant, a strong Universe wind swept in, and her long, silvery-white hair danced in the wind.
Everything in the real Universe, revolving around the 'room' which has already ended countless worlds.
As well as.
"Teacher, it's been a long time."
I was called.
I recognized the voice immediately upon hearing just one sentence.
Despite the thousands of cycles of reincarnation that had passed, amounting to trillions of years, the voice evoked a strange sense of nostalgia in Kavia at that moment.
With the image of the green-haired youth who defied Lila and chose to suffer flashing through his mind, Kavia turned around.
"Long time no see, Gautama Siddhartha."
The enlightened Savior, seated on a lotus flower that appeared amidst the Universe, with numerous halos above his head, nodded gently upon hearing this.
"This is what you told me: that humans possess the power to move forward. So now that I'm here, it's clear that your future existence will be completely different from that of this galaxy."
"In fact, it's a form of existence that's the opposite of yours, given your ability to judge Parallel World."
"That's not quite right, because it's due to insufficient resources in the Universe, while the resources you've expended are your own."
"The way it exists might be defined, that's probably it."
"... You succeeded!"
What does "success" mean?
"Is it because it's been a while that it's become a bit blurry?"
The Savior looked dumbfounded and said...
"It's Lila and Ye."
"Of course I know that; you've been watching from outside the room the whole time, haven't you?"
When the voice of the Savior reached Kavia's mind, there was also a vast vision.
As many Age of Gods around the world were about to decline, the gods of the connected Age of Gods, though no longer appearing before humans, would still interact with each other. People who had their memories of 'Kavia' and 'Buddha' erased by the Supreme Brahman in India began to remember this past existence, leading to the flourishing of Buddhism.
"Because this is just a minor fluctuation, there's no need to intervene... That being said, you, the Dipankara, haven't shown any signs of weakness. If you had, I would have had no choice but to enter this room and intervene."
The Savior said this with a smile.
"... So you went to Earth before you came here, right?"
"In the Age of Gods separated by the Himalayas Mountains, the people there also love Buddhism, so I went to visit them and even helped them subdue a monkey."
The Savior held up five fingers, "It just so happens that this Golden Cicada in her final reincarnation has also attained enlightenment, but to let her know the consequences of falling asleep in class, I arranged for her to reincarnate in that Age of Gods."
"You really have a twisted sense of humor."
As for Kavia, which is of the same scale or will be reached in the Future, it naturally understands that the Savior made this choice because he saw the possibility of 'Journey to the West'. Otherwise, as an existence on Universe scale, few things on Planet could contend with it.
The Savior smiled at Kavia's teasing, then said with a hint of loneliness:
Is it about to Parinirvana?
In the Buddha's concept, everything will Passing into Nirvana. Even Savior, who possess the power of the Universe at the time of enlightenment, cannot escape this Parinirvana. This is especially true for Kavia, who is already Dipankara and Maitreya.
Don't be so Sorrow, for I am among all things.
Kavia spoke in a cheerful tone, uttering some rather inexplicable words.
However, the Savior understand its true meaning. The establishment of the India Age of Gods is based on the Supreme Brahman, which is an undeniable fact. The Supreme Brahman, who has nurtured and protected all of India for countless ages, is the world itself. Rain, wind, Gale, earth, sky, and everything else converge together, and ultimately everything exists within it.
Even if the mysterious decay and the Planet's Primate completely transform into humans cannot deny this fact, therefore, a world that has lost the Supreme Brahman as its foundation will fall into 'self-collapse', which means that a sudden and inexplicable plate tectonics may occur, causing the earth, which is integrated into the world and connected to it, to split in a literal sense.
Therefore, the price for Kavia's destruction of the Supreme Brahman was to take over His duties and functions, which can also be seen as the Buddha's Parinirvana.
"Some people are still waiting for you to come back, aren't they?"
"... No problem, the earth is round, and I am also the Future. I've always remembered those hymns, so we'll meet again someday."
Kavia answered with a smile.
It wasn't a very long time, after all, only a few hundred million years. But because it has been witnessing the experiences of everyone in every cycle of reincarnation, it has unknowingly become so long.
Now, it's time to end this.
He calmly closed his eyes--
But then he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a subtle expression as he looked towards a certain part of the Universe.
"That is..."
Following Kavia's gaze, the Savior also saw a point of light in the Universe heading towards the mysterious, soon-to-be-extinct blue Planet. "It's an existence of the same caliber, and it's unbelievable that it would come to Earth."
Who knows...
After uttering those words, Kavia walked towards the point of light.
"Unauthorized disturbance might cause them dissatisfaction."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Kavia certainly knew what it was; that point of light was Jesus, the Son of God, or in other words, the incarnation of the Son of God as it is known in later generations. As someone from the 'Future' who was deeply involved with Jesus, Kavia was quite eager to witness that moment.
And so he came to the spot of light, changed his form, and followed it all the way to Bethlehem on Earth.
In fact, as Kavia approached the point of light hurtling through the Universe, somewhere in the Universe, a being was immediately confused, then bewildered, then Wrath, and finally... for some unknown reason, calmed down.
So, on the night of December 25th, 1 AD 1, a shooting star fell over Bethlehem in the West Bank of Palestine.
And so, Mary gave birth to Jesus in the stable, saw a Dove standing in the stable, curiously watching her newborn child.
The light that shone so brightly in the sky above Bethlehem that night was so dazzling that the wise men from the East saw it and came to visit with gifts.
Later Protestantism theologian Mot, based on various anecdotes and paintings, said:
"The Son came into the world through the Holy Spirit, and continues to be filled with the Holy Spirit, bearing witness that he is the Son of the Father. At the same time, the Holy Spirit also leads people into the fellowship between the Father and the Son."
What did Kavia do besides watching Jesus?
"Come on."
He made that cooing sound again, and then the Dove that Kavia had transformed into flew into the starry sky, heading towards the dark Universe.
After all, the time for their Parinirvana could not be delayed any longer; if it was, the land would begin to crumble.
Beyond Earth, the Savior gazed upon the returning Kavia and said calmly:
"It's over."
Savior refer to the end of the Age of Gods on Earth, or to the impending Parinirvana of Kavia's life? We cannot know for now.
Actually, he had a lot more to say, but he'd rather wait until next time.
"No."
After the Savior such sentiments, Kavia shook his head in response, smiled, coughed, and peacefully closed his eyes amidst the pain of Parinirvana.
"This is not the end."
I.
Us.
Human beings.
Everything in the world.
"--It's only just beginning."

"Oh my, oh my, are you awake already?"
Novia slightly opened her eyes, and a beautiful face came closer, with black hair, clear eyes, and blue gloves.
The interior of Chaldea's medical room is very much in line with worldly expectations, capable of accommodating dozens of people, even with seating arrangements facing each other. Although the space doesn't seem very spacious, it's quite luxurious for a facility located in Antarctica.
From the window of the medical room, one can see the white earth below. Because there are almost no tall plants, the central area of Antarctica has a very wide view. The cold wind blows and ripples spread across the water.
There are now two 'guests' in the ward.
A young man with silver-white hair lay on the bed, while a maturely dressed, beautiful woman sat beside him, watching him.
"It's been so long since we've had such a leisurely meeting."
"It was said by the mature woman."
She didn't look very old, yet her posture displayed a resilience like that of a tree that had weathered many storms; her back was ramrod straight, and her eyes revealed profound insight and rationality.
The Uomo Universale Leonardo da Vinci.
Seeing that Novia, who had just opened her eyes on the bed, did not respond, Da Vinci maintained his smile.
"Right, Favia?"
"... Um?"
Novia asked casually, "Da Vinci Consultant, why do you call me that?"
"Oh, so you 'accidentally' forgot?"
Da Vinci, with a helpless smile, continued speaking.
"Well, I'll remember eventually. After all, you knew my name without even asking, right?"
Upon hearing this, Novia sat up slightly, leaned back against the headboard, and narrowed her eyes slightly at Da Vinci, who was smiling broadly.
"Instructor Sion has already provided me with all the information about Chaldea. Our institute also possesses intelligence regarding Leonardo da Vinci, the Consultant, and the Fate of Chaldea's Protection Heroic Spirit Summoning System."
Did Da Vinci see through his identity at a glance?
That's impossible, of course. Even though the India period was very long, Novia still remembered falling asleep the moment she entered Chaldea, and that she seemed to be lying on something small and soft...
It's probably Fou, since it's the only one in Chaldea that fits this description. And Novia probably knows the reason too. It's likely that it's to avoid being caught by Black Princess for playing outside while asleep and being punished, which is why it's being so 'dedicated' to itself.
Novia quickly realized that Fou had acted as a buffer for her, which attracted Mash's attention, leading to her being sent to the infirmary. Since her current identity was 'Technician of Atlas Institute stationed in Chaldea for maintenance technology,' the Director would most likely take a look.
Furthermore, since her appearance had been turned into a photograph and sent to her, her old acquaintance Da Vinci would definitely be confused by this. In addition, the similarity of the names would lead her to suddenly call herself Favia, in a state where she thought that 'a sudden attack after just waking up might prove her guess'.
Indeed, just as Novia thought, Da Vinci did come with the intention of verifying whether the Novia in front of him was the same person as Favia from back then. That's why he sent Mash, who should have been waiting here, out first to handle some matters.
