The Monarch-Chapter 704: The librarian

Chapter 704: The librarian
The world where Kayden was was very messy; in fact, it was not even truly a world. It was similar to nothing and at the same time similar to everything. There were all the laws and everything Kayden could remember existing at a normal point in space, but at the same time there was also nothing. It was simply complete chaos.
The voice that appeared to Kayden seemed to come from all sides; it seemed to come from inside him, from his own soul. The problem was that this was a mess; he did not know what was happening and was not even capable of identifying anything. He squeezed out his word with a wave of soul in all directions.
"Hello." A single simple word of greeting; at that moment, that was all he was capable of doing. It seemed like something simple, but it was similar to throwing a stone at a huge wall of branches; the stone would travel a good distance but would somehow get lost in the middle of it.
"You truly are a different kind of mage," the voice commented and began to introduce itself. "I am the librarian." Kayden immediately recognized the being that stood before him.
The librarian was one of the oldest gods that had ever existed, a being who was capable of crossing existences and eras, writing everything down in a book known as the Record. This god was insane; he had been in this world for almost the same amount of time as the celestials. His book actually possessed complete information about them, but access to it was difficult.
It was impossible to obtain a copy of the Record without having the librarian’s authorization. Each copy was given directly to a mage by him. Furthermore, one’s strength was judged in relation to one’s knowledge; the greater it was, the more pages you would be able to read.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Librarian." Kayden was extremely respectful. A single sentence like that required half of his strength to be generated; this environment was completely insane. Besides him, another person also gave their greetings.
"It is a pleasure to see you again, god 24r302d@44." Jarvis directly released the librarian’s divine name into the environment. Kayden was incapable of comprehending it; he could only understand the message it carried, and it was nothing more than knowledge, simple and pure.
"So this is where you were lost, Jarvis." In the next second, Kayden lost his connection with the god. He was simply removed from his soul without even being able to perform a single movement. "You will be judged for your crimes against the celestial library."
Kayden took a few seconds and was able to see the traces of what had been done. It was so fast that it took him time to react, but his talent was at its peak again. After a few seconds, he saw the traces, the details; Jarvis was sucked away in a very simple manner.
He did not belong to Kayden’s soul. This allowed the librarian to extract him without even touching Kayden’s own soul. It was absurd precision, but it was something that could be done. Kayden quickly memorized the situation and absorbed the knowledge to be studied later; this would greatly change certain details of his soul.
"Kayden Heart, your story is very ancient, a mage who was forgotten by time," the librarian began. "I want to trade your story for a copy of the Record." Kayden had been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time.
"I accept this deal, but... why forgotten son of God?" The librarian responded briefly and left Kayden lost in thought.
"Cross the lost space between worlds and I will listen to your story. As for that title... Thoth calls you that." Kayden was left alone with his thoughts.
In seconds, he lost Jarvis’s soul, which had been with him for a very long time. Not only that, but a certain hole was left in his soul that at the same time was not a hole. Kayden could not say exactly what it was, but it would be resolved in the future. First, he needed to learn as much as possible in that place.
Time passed quickly. Kayden was standing still and at the same time walking. He could not say whether he was moving at high speed or not. Time only existed in his mind in that place; time was incapable of passing in reality, the laws simply could not complete themselves.
His focus was still his soul. He was studying how Jarvis had been removed from him so easily. Kayden knew that souls were unique; even twin souls were not perfectly similar, they possessed small differences. It was those small differences that made Kayden understand that separating his soul from Athena’s was the answer to his doubts.
Those differences were minuscule, but they would make him incapable of being completely unique; they would make it so that he would not be one hundred percent Kayden. A small part would never be him, a small part would always belong to someone else.
Jarvis’s soul was completely removed from Kayden’s in a single movement. That movement was very simple; the librarian released a small wave of soul and it resonated in both souls. Each of them released a different tuning, which allowed him to millimetrically extract Jarvis.
Kayden began to resonate his soul like a condemned man, as if his entire life was only that. He did nothing beyond it. Time had no meaning, because it did not even exist, but... in the correct world, it would have been millions of years of Kayden merely resonating his soul with the laws.
This trick that Kayden learned was, in truth, a divine-level technique, something that few gods would be capable of doing throughout their entire lives. Probably only those at the divine peak would be able to accomplish something like this, yet Kayden learned it in just a few seconds.
His talent was absurd. His soul had only returned to the same level as before after an infinite amount of time working on it, but at that moment Kayden was breaking that limit. Resonating his soul opened a new world to him, something Kayden had never been able to do before.
He was becoming capable of understanding the universe around him. He could resonate his soul across a long distance and feel everything resonating back, but... the most important thing was the response of the laws, how the universe behaved in its smallest details. Kayden had always been a mage who imposed himself.
The monarch, that was his path. He converted the universe to his will; it had always been like that. Kayden commanded, and the universe obeyed his will absolutely. He was a mage opening the river so he could walk over the land, but at that moment, he was learning to walk over the river.
