The Monarch-Chapter 707: Just an observer

Chapter 707: Just an observer
Kayden found himself going over his entire life, every small moment of it being reviewed, analyzed, and recounted faithfully to the events. The process was long, bizarrely long; time passed at high speed.
Thousands of years, millions of years, and billions of years passed. It was terribly slow to tell everything, because they were not mere mentions; every moment was detailed to the extreme. The boy had never done that in his entire life; at no point had he stopped to reflect in that way.
There was strong mastery over memories and recollections on Kayden’s part. He had already seen his life and reviewed it dozens of times, but never with the exactness he was applying at that moment. There is a theorem in geometry that would make this easier to understand.
Imagine that you are on the coast of an island and wish to cover it. The first time, you use ten giant bars of one kilometer each, totaling ten kilometers. But the next time, you use smaller bars, and they keep getting smaller in size, yet the total length becomes much larger.
The smaller the bars, the more irregular spaces they will cover and consequently the more space they will encompass. That is exactly what Kayden was doing at that moment, using minuscule bars to review his life completely. It was a review so meticulous and complete that it consumed a great deal of time and effort.
The Librarian was not saying anything; he was only writing things down. There were no comments, there were no emotions, at least not until the moment Kayden described Athena’s death. At that moment, he completely froze while recording that information. Kayden did not even notice what had happened; his focus was extremely high at that time.
The god’s freezing was momentary, and in just a few blinks of an eye he fully returned to focusing on writing things down. But with that information passing through his mind, through the accounts he had collected throughout his life, he knew that Kayden had done it, and even so it was an achievement far too insane for him.
Without Kayden realizing it, something strange began to happen around him. Some small things began to change, minuscule details in his soul, things so small that he would hardly be able to notice them later. They were practically insignificant points, but their sum was accomplishing something different.
The law of the monarch of the self began to enter the library and emerge spontaneously. The god made no movement to stop it; quite the opposite, he directly opened channels to millions of universes. An absurd flow of the law began to appear from all sides; they were coming to greet their creator.
This flow began to become more insane with each passing day, with each second to be honest. The Librarian felt his library begin to tremble after a few trillion years. The number of existences he had connected was insane; it was completely outside normal reality.
This phenomenon began to draw the attention of many gods and mages. An absurd number began the hunt to understand what was happening. It was practically all known existence searching for this. It was an incalculable number of gods and mortals seeking answers. Even the god king joined in after some time.
It took decades for them to be able to find the Librarian. It seemed like a long time to a mortal and at the same time only a blink of an eye to the gods, but... it was a very long time. Those decades would be equivalent to entire eras, entire generations of the universe, generations of divine kings, to be honest. The number of mages searching was insane.
Anything else would have been quickly discovered after a few days of research or at most a few weeks, even considering an insane situation. That was the level of the Librarian, a being capable of hiding completely from the universe, but not even he was capable of dealing with it when a certain being entered the game.
"So it was you, Kayden." Thoth appeared in one of his thousands of forms. This time, he was a god at the absolute peak; only something like that could enter where they were.
"Do not stain the library with a false story." The Librarian blocked the god’s entrance quickly and left together with Kayden to the outside. The latter had no idea what was happening; he continued telling his story.
The environment outside... was nothing. Absolute nothing. There were no laws, there was absolutely nothing in that place, not even time or space. This was the true void, the most absolute void possible, the true and only end of existence that existed.
"So this is where you were hiding." Thoth smiled as he looked around. Only peak gods would be capable of surviving here. The number of them who had already ventured here and gotten lost was insane; there were more peak gods lost in that place than outside of it.
"True peace." The two fell silent and observed the situation.
"Where do we stand?" Thoth looked at the Librarian while completely ignoring Kayden.
"Nothing relevant. We remain trapped in this existence, and you?" The Librarian continued writing down Kayden’s words without missing a single one.
"Nothing relevant as well, but I still maintain that my idea is better than yours. The wheels of the universe do not move with a single push." Thoth saw the god before him almost spit into the void.
"We are merely observers. The end is not in our hands." Thoth merely smiled upon hearing a conversation that had been repeated more times than there had been dawns in the entire universe.
Neither of them spoke anything else while Kayden continued his process. The law of the monarch of the self came toward him at increasingly greater speeds. It reached a point where the birth of monarchs declined ridiculously, and the number of mages managing to ascend realms by following that path also completely stagnated.
"Thoth and the Librarian, I did not expect to see you here." The mage who appeared was none other than the current divine king. His personalities were completely controlled at that moment; it seemed as if they understood the gravity of the situation.
The divine king did not immediately understand what was happening, but it took only a few seconds for him to recognize the situation and see that it was Kayden. The words the boy was speaking were invisible to him, protected by a law of the same level as his own.
The funniest part was that more and more mages continued to arrive shortly after the divine king, separated by minuscule differences in time. Some of them were entities that he himself had never seen, and the even funnier part was that none of them made any movement toward the Librarian.
