As a Demon Lord.
What was the actual essence of Orsaga's ascension to Demon Prince?
A transformation of life?
A sublimation of power?
An increase in knowledge?
It should have included all of those.
But... in the end, those things were merely insignificant incidental influences.
There was only one factor that determined whether the ascension would succeed.
That was whether Orsaga could embed the concept he had created—Eternity of Evil—into the entire Multiverse.
Along the way.
This newborn New Concept would, at a certain moment, undergo an instantaneous expansion, directly reaching the point where it occupied a certain proportion of the Multiverse's total entirety.
What Orsaga needed to do was endure the entire process and resist all additional influences.
That feeling...
Was like the most commonplace microorganism having one universe, countless universes, infinite Time and Space, countless infinitely vast Time and Spaces... instantly stuffed into its belly.
And they had not been scaled down in the slightest.
Then.
It had to withstand it by force.
And successfully digest it all completely.
That was roughly the process of ascension.
So, was it possible?
Obviously.
It was not.
It sounded impossible.
Never mind the success rate.
Merely thinking about it was already equivalent to some absurdly boring joke.
Fuck, there was not the slightest shred of reason or feasibility to it!!
Yet, something like this did not particularly require any fucking reason or feasibility in the first place!!!
Was it impossible just because it was unreasonable?
Was it impossible just because it could not be done?
If one could not even accomplish something like this.
Then how could one be called the absolute pinnacle of the food chain?
Domineering, madness, absolute selfhood, oneself being complete truth, all one's actions being correct...
These were the fundamental traits inevitably possessed by every Abyss Prince
