It had been two days since Thast had got his new, fancy, Ravager warcrusher from Dain. His master had said he would benefit greatly from going into outer space to train, but he would never leave for long. Thast was the type who tended to get homesick easily, not from his actual home, but his planet. He had a sense of unmatched patriotism for his homeworld, one that would rival the king of earth's own passion. Though he would leave the planet for a few days at a time, he would never make a journey that lasted longer than a couple days, and he would always return to earth in the end. Though he may have called earth "Home" he technically didn't really have a home there. Not anymore at least. His ship "The Enlightenment" was his home now, that was all he had. The earthling would be seen with crossed legs, meditating on top of a skyscraper in South City. For the past few days, he had been training endlessly to try and impress his master. The last time he and Dain met, he had become six times stronger than when they first sparred. This time around he would shoot for eight times that number. The young man's trance would soon be interrupted, by the spirit yin's voice rattle through his mind. She was not her usual calm self, she spoke in a panicked tone "Thast! Near by I've sensed a great power. It is one of my own! You--" Thast would cut off Yin, with a smirk on his face. "Alright, another Kai! That's good news right. We'll go and seek them out like we always do." Yin would clear her throat getting his attention, but this time the dark one Yang would speak, "Look kid! I don't think this other Kai is very friendly! You need to get out of here before we're spotted!"Thast's grin would grow larger. If Yang was shaken up, then this Kai must be strong. Dain had created a drive of sorts inside Thast. They young man no longer saw fighting as a necessary evil, but a competition, a pleasure. If he saved the earth along the way, all the more reason to fight right!? The earthling would stand up, and stretch a bit. He would then clench his fists as a blue aura would explode around him, he would try to amplify his power level as much as possible to get the new Kai's attention. BATTLE TRACKER SUMMARY

Blind. She was entirely blind to perceiving the spiritual power of others, ever since she had cut ties with the divine. Her natural link with the world had been severed, and it had left her in a cold, Solipsistic state of darkness. But, she knew she wasn't alone - she could still use her mundane senses. Just, the spiritual brightness of others would never warm her ever again. Flying above Earth, she noticed a young man, a human, training. A worthy opponent to try out her new state of existence? Possibly. There was only one way to figure that out. She descended from the clouds in free fall, falling down like a meteor, until she violently decelerated right before impact, sending a wave of dust and wind out from her, as she hovered a foot above the concrete. "You." she stated, to then point at him with her hook-blade. "I don't know who you are, but I've come to liberate you from the monotony of this day. Rejoice." "I am Red Herring." she stated, introducing herself, and putting herself into position. It seemed clear that this wasn't an ambush, but more of an overly eager challenge. If the two Shinjin spirits within the young man could perceive her more accurately now, they could find that while she definitely was a Shinjin, there would be something fundamentally wrong about her. Her divinity, the very core essence of a Shinjin... ...Was gone. And where it should "be", there was just emptiness, nothingness. And yet, for some bizarre reason, she was still alive. Breathing, moving, living. "Prepare yourself!" she then declared, and charged towards him as she flew like a zig-zagging dart through the air, as she read the fabric of time and space, predicting his moves, in order to make her attack bizarrely near-infallible. Her movements would be unlike any mortal style of combat.

Thast would watch as the living meteorite would crash down in front of him. Was this the one Yin and Yang had sense? Something seemed off. She appeared to be very young, and further more she possessed great power. The twin spirits of darkness and light would simultaneously speak "The Heretic." With a confused look towards the mysterious Shinjin, Thast would repeat this questioningly "The Heretic?" He would then watch as his opponent immediately challenged him a a combat of some kind, combat over liberation? Thast was a free as free could be. He was a Ravager after all, a group who lived my a code of freedom. Who was she to say he wasn't free? Before he could make an arguing point however, the mysterious fighter was rush towards him with a hooked blade! Thast didn't know what to do, he would simply stand there as the blade made a slight cut in his shoulder. This wound was nothing to him. A small amount of damage, but enough to get him interested. "Alright, Yin Yang give me the low down. Who is she?" Yang the spirit of darkness and hate would explain, "She was rumored to have died... I suppose my sources were quite wrong. She is a Kai, but without any divine power. You won't be able to fight her with regular tactics. Distract her, Yin and I will come up with something devilish..." Thast would give a slight nod agreeing to the dark one's plan. "Alright, Red! Your fast, but lets find out how fast!" The earthling would then start firing multiple ki blasts at the Shinjin as she darted about the area. Thast wasn't being too serious at the moment, he needed to buy Yin and Yang some time to hatch a plan. What a better way to stall then to get the girl started on a monologue. "So why do they call you 'The Heretic' Red?"

"Heh. I'm surprised you know me by that... nickname that the heavens gave me." she chuckled in response, to then take a gander around herself, wondering if there were any Shinjins around or if this man was a Shinjin himself. However, she knew nearly all of them, she had lived with them for so many years after all, before she renounced being the Kai of Time. Then, blasts of energy flew to her, and she avoided them, having already put her foot in the direction of where she would dodge an instant before the attack flew, virtue of her experience as a Kai of Time. "I knew you'd do that." she told him as she calmly moved out of the way, and cut him with another slash of her blade. "This is why you are not free, my child. You are hopelessly imprisoned by causality and the laws of the universe. By destiny." She then dodged the other attack just as deftly, side-stepping the attack with a gentle movement. "...And it is my curse to know all of this." she mentioned, as her eyes lost focus, looking on with doom. "To be able to predict what will happen and how. So you are not free, your volition are merely an illusion to yourself. You will do what you have been destined to - because the Heavens have set up this universe like this. It's their travesty." The not-Kai then shrugged with a smile. "I find that horrible, because I desire true free will for all. That is why I am a Heretic - and if you knew what I knew, you would be one too. Although, I'm fairly optimistic that all great masters will eventually come to realize this, once they achieve enough understanding of themselves and others. Yesterday, barely understanding movement. Today, already seeing it before it happens. Tomorrow, becoming absolutely sick of it." "So, do you want to become a great master? Do you want to end up like me?" BATTLE TRACKER

Her attacks were fierce, Thast started to have trouble tracking her movements! She was much more of a fighter than her innocent appearance had led on. The earthling would grit his teeth as he watched the former Kai evade his bolts, we little effort at that. He would then hear her explain what her name meant. She saw people as locked down one path, to her time was set in stone. To Thast this was not the case. After Red Herring had talked to him abut was was to come, and how she could see it, Thast would simply crack his neck and ask "Not free? No, Ever heard of alternate timelines?From what I hear, there are an infinite number of them. I choose my destiny!"Thast would then find himself subject to yet another barrage of the false Kai's attacks. He had really hoped Yin and Yang would have come up with something by now, but things were looking bleak. Thast would listen to her speak of this "Curse" in a way he felt sorry, but at this same time, to him time was an illusion. "In that case, allow me to free you of this curse!" The earthling would disappear from sight and reappear directly under where Red Herring was floating in the air. His hands would be cupped together , and a grey energy would be charging in his hands. "A great master? I don't care for titles. I just want to be the strongest in the universe, just like everyone else."Thrusting his two hands forward, a devastating beam of energy would be fired toward his Kai foe. "Yin Yang Kamehameha!" In his mind he would think to himself, "come on you two, we need something now!"BATTLE TRACKERSUMMARY

Herring had missed. Perhaps the other hadn't noticed, but her blade slipped in her hand in the wrong way as she attempted to cut him. Then, her flesh twisted and cramped under her skin, and she held her chest in pain, to then cough out a small amount of purple sludge, but she quickly braced herself down, stabilizing again and recovering her normal appearance. For now. With her divinity gone, she was struggling to keep her body together. It was against her nature to exist without it, her body was rejecting its own life. But she preferred it this way - she didn't want to be part of the divine system anymore.
"Y-you have been misinformed." Herring replied, as she dodged his Ying-Yang blast, but still weak from the random outburst of her body so that its emanating heat managed to fry her cheek slightly. "It actually was my job to ensure that there is only one timeline, it's criminal to create more. It's why time machines are... generally a big no-no." (https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Alternate_timeline)
She then shrugged, continuing to focus on evading as she went on to monologue. "Although, now I really don't mind there being more. I'm not the Time Kai anymore. But anyways, even if there were more than one timeline - which there could be, through the use of a time machine - the alternate you wouldn't be you. Like, if you went back in time, thus creating another timeline, you could punch your past self. However, you wouldn't be punching yourself, no? As in your actual self. You'd just be hitting a.... 'clone' created by creating another timeline. So, infinite timelines wouldn't solve the problem even if they existed, because they'd just be infinite clones which aren't your actual self."
"But, I'm very happy to see that you're ambitious." she then continued. "Maybe if you become strong enough you'll come to realize my truth. I'll help you with that - learn to predict my movements! Take this!"
And from her hands a blast of chaotic elemental magic shot forth, aimed at Thast.

Thast was surprised, despite his attack not hitting, the Kai appeared to be injured nonetheless. What was going on here? He didn't want to fight her if he thought she was defenseless. Yin would speak to him, "We have an Idea. Get in close, it seems her form is off. You'll only have one shot at this!" The earthling would reluctantly begin to follow Yin's orders. He would begin powering up in a similar way to before, but something would be clearly different. "So, you once to controlled the timeline then? That's why your so hellbent of fate. I know another like you. Quite a few like you actually. People who share you beliefs. A friend of mine, Hyperion would love to meet you."Thast would say this as he began to run from the concoction of elemental attacks being hurled his way. He managed to dodge a bit of the attack, but was still badly grazed by the maneuver. The earthling would find himself holding his side, he was already winded. "So your saying everything is already set in stone? Who gets to decide that anyway?" Thast would spit up a bit of blood, but he had to keep going. The earthling would continue to power up, and his hands would become surrounded by aura's of Ki. This would be the time to get in close and try to mix things up. Thast would bolt into the air after Red Herring, and would attempt to land a large flurry of ki enhanced punches. "The Kais inside of me aren't speaking right now. I thought you may be able to hear them. Yin and Yang were exiled from otherword for being bastards, so I'm not exactly a fan of the higher ups either." BATTLE TRACKER SUMMARY

She managed to dodge yet another attack and continued to talk with the man. "Hyperion, huh? Sounds promising." she replied. "And, who decides it?" she added. "Well. The Creator, of course. However, I speculate that even they are trapped within the clockwork of existence. Such incompetence. They were basically my former boss. I didn't like them. But they paid me well. Enough to buy a Ferrari, which, I left behind..." "The Kais inside you?"she then inquired, aware that a Kai was a title, not a species. The idea that a Kai would choose to live within him was bizarre, but then it all became clear once he mentioned the exile thing. If he was telling the truth about this, his inner beings probably felt it was just easier to explain that they were Kais instead of going on with the whole story that their species is actually a 'Shinjin' and born from a certain magic fruit. And Herring did believe that he was telling the truth - because how else would he know about her epithet "The Heretic"? That was something only other Shinjin knew, as far as she was aware. "I can't sense them. I can't even sense you." she then admitted. "Kais can have amazing perceptive abilities, able to sense massive distances... But not me. I am no longer a Kai, I have had that very divine essence extirpated from my being. So, I no longer have that crutch, I can no longer feel the spiritual warmth of others. The world is... cold. Dark." She shrugged. "I'll have to relearn how to do that, I guess. I have renounced to all of my 'freebies' for being born godly. It was unfair. And so is the whole divine system. I'm glad I'm out." The Heretic then snapped a finger and shining ice crystals appeared around her and then bolted towards him. BATTLE TRACKER

The Ice crystals came after the earthling with great force, he managed to dodge two of them, but the third would land. He felt a shiver go up his spine as he was impacted. What kind of power was this, Thast had never fought against a magic user before. This stuff really hit hard. He was starting to feel much weaker. The earthling would start trying to wipe the frost from his body, but it wouldn't budge. "Gah! What is this stuff?"He would turn his head to Red Herring yet again as she started her next monologue. Apparently she couldn't sense ki very well. In some situations he may have had an advantage, but he was fighting alone, and at full power. At least she couldn't mock his power level because she couldn't sense him. "Someone as strong as you can't sense ki? Imagine that? Well allow me to educate you then!"The earthling would fire off another flurry of ki blasts toward's the Shinjin, and would begin to instruct her "Close your eyes, and try to dodge these. If you have any ki of your own, you'll know where to move." Thast hoped she would play along for now. Yin and Yang had better come up with another plan quickly! Something strange he noticed as well was her personality. For someone so ready to fight, she seemed to be rather nonchalant and kind about the whole situation. Maybe she really did just want to help him some how? BATTLE TRACKER SUMMARY

"It's a bit more complicated than that..." she chuckled, but grateful at his offer to help her. She closed her eyes, but felt nothing. Just the same void and darkness, nothingness. Then, through her mental calculations of time with the clues of what she could hear, she predicted the trajectory of his attack and moved out of that way to then attempt a counterattack, a few slashes while blind, but using the reflection of the sun onto her blade to try to blind him as well to make this easier for herself. "I feel nothing." she would then say, after the attacks. "Unfortunately. But I can still hear and predict based on that, it's the same rules, just a different starting point." "Predictions such as this!" she then said, to then place more cuts on him with her blade, by reading time again. After the attack she would then re-sheathe her blade. "Now, I've never tried this attack against a mortal." she stated. "But I believe it's harmless. Should be, anyways. Let's try it out." Then, she drew her blade, pulling it out at a breakneck speed to cause a wave of magic distortion to fly towards Thast and if it hit, send him to the Paradise Dimension that Herring had been working on. Within, he would be able to do anything he could accurately imagine, but it wouldn't have any effect on the outside world. It was effectively a sort of magic-based VR system, with the person within able to do whatever they can mentally imagine in this virtual world. She didn't let him know this immediately though. This attack was merely a weaponization of that dimension she had created by locking people within it and removing them from realspace, and she was curious to see if it worked.

Try as he might, no amount of encouragement would be enough to teach someone how to sense Ki in a few seconds. That didn't matter too much, it seemed the girl had her own way of sensing her environment. The earthling would watch as she had managed to defend against his attacks yet again, it was no surprise to him at this point. She was incredibly fast, and didn't seem to be phased by his attacks. Things were not going well to say the least. "So, you feel your surroundings, and use what little time manipulation you have left to predict my moves? Interesting..."
There was little left that he could do to defend himself at this point. When the next wave of magic came the earthling way, he would manage to dodge the blade itself, but the magical powers behind it would consume him. On top of the building where he once stood would be a white portal of energy. Thast had been sucked into the paradise dimension.
The young man would wake up to find himself on a small island. The sky was not the color blue, but purple, and the clouds in the sky were yellow. The grassy ground he stood on was a light brown color, yet it didn't appear to be withering. Thast stood up from the ground, and would turn around to see both Yin and Yang in physical form. The three of them had been separated. Yang would crack his neck and speak "Finally! Free to go our separate ways!" "Something doesn't feel right here..." Yin would ponder. Thast began to rejoice, the experiment done on him had been undone. Then a few moments later he would realize something. He wasn't on earth, and Yin and Yang would abandon him... This was bad! What if earth was attacked while he was away!
"Yin, Yang! We have to fuse back together and return to earth. Up until now I never thought about what would happen if we separate." Yin and Yang would both look at him with confusion on their face. "Isn't this what you wanted?" "Hmph. I know it's what I wanted." Thast would nod slightly and explain, "If we're gone, then no one will be left to protect earth! Khoshai is strong, but he's just a kid, and Dain is strong, but he wouldn't sacrifice his life for this planet. From this moment on, the three of us will have to be content living together..."
"Now, lets try to find a way out of here..."
(END)
(OOC: Thast would have gone down to 12 HP, and was sucked into the deadzone)

With the young man now gone, she looked around. She was alone on the roof - it seemed to have worked! She then took a couple of moments to rest to then make another portal and jump into the Paradise Dimension as well. She made her way towards where he was, apparently some kind of island, as she used an assortment of random items to make a bridge between herself and his position, until all of those items collapsed into the sea as she set foot on the ground. "Hello there." she mentioned, now in her true adult form, as she no longer needing to conserve ki in her own dimension. She looked at the other two next to Thast - they seemed very similar, and now that she was in her original form, who she was could become even more obvious to them. "Ying, Yang?" she asked, recognizing these other children of the divine fruit. "Well, it's been a while, hoho. Where were you guys anyways? I don't remember sending you two in here as well..." "Or, did you create them?" she wondered, looking at Thast, to then further explained what she meant by snapping her fingers and creating a copy of Ying and Yang next to her, although much like everything in this Dimension, they were fake. Then she snapped her fingers and they disappeared. "Everything here can be delightfully confusing at times." she chuckled. "That's the charm of it, really." She then snapped her fingers and a chair appeared next to her and she sat in it, to then snap her fingers again to make a margarita in a wine glass with a little umbrella appear, for her to then take it into her hand and drink it. "Very nice in here, isn't it? It's my Paradise Dimension. You can do anything here. Although you have to be able to imagine it entirely. And... it has no effect on the outside or 'actual' reality, unfortunately. It's still a work in progress." Her head was then cut off by an invisible blade, and she fell to the ground, apparently dead, for her to then return in yet another bridge and pull the corpse off the chair and sit back in it. "See? Heh."

Thast's eyes would widen as he say the woman approaching. She looked like the little girl Kai from before, but much older. He would turn back to Yin and Yang to ask the two of them, "Are you guys seeing this or am I going crazy?" He would watch in awe as a series of random objects would create a path to their island. Now that she was a bit closer, he knew it was Red Herring for sure. "Red, why do you look like that? I thought you were a child. Where are we?" His questions would be answered quickly as she explained the concept behind the paradise dimension.
Yin and Yang would not look mad or sad. Both of them were rather embarrassed. Yin would be the first to speak up, and explain what exactly had happened to them. "Red Herring. They cast you out just as they did us huh? For different reasons albeit. Yang and I are Half-demon remember, not fit for the core... We were sent here about a thousand years ago. Yang and I had a bit of a falling out I guess you could say." Yang would then butt in to finish the story "Yeah, yeah. Long story short our essence was transferred into this kid's body after some kind of mad science experiment. Now the three of us all live together in the same body. Unfortunately, the boy has full control, especially now that another shinjin gave him that amulet." The dark one would point at the necklace Thast was wearing under his clothing. It was a magical device given to him by Hyperion to resist spiritual possession.
Thast would begin to stretch a bit, but then ask everyone "So, you all know each other? Also, this world. Why did you create this dimension? An attempt at defying time? What if somebody's desires conflict with some one else's?" All the earthling could think of was more questions. He wanted to know what made this woman tick.

"Nonono. Nobody cast me out." the former Shinjin explained. "I left."
"And, I see..." she muttered. "I didn't remember that honestly. I was a bit of a workaholic you see, hoho - always in the Time Nest. Anyways, it's great to see you here."
She looked at the necklace and felt a bit split about helping her family or Thast, but decided not to dwell too much on that. "So, about two conflicting desires, I'm working on that... But good question" she pointed out.
"I had in mind to possibly go with the infinite parallel timelines approach, with one being one's will and one being the other's, although I'd run out of power really fast if I did that, I can only handle so many dimensions. Or perhaps it's a battle of wills, the one with the most willpower succeeds... Or maybe they could be solved totally randomly... I have a couple of prototypes, you see. Another thing I could do, and this would require some major work - is that the state of reality becomes both conflicting states at once. But that would need a lot of reality-rewriting because I'd have to redefine logic and stuff like that is so annoying to conjure, I keep creating hamburger dimensions instead. It's pretty hard - so finicky. I should've made it all before I renounced my divinity, would've been easier. But oh well, here we are."
She then shrugged. "For now, in the current version, it's the strongest will that prevails."
The Shinjin would then hold her chin. "But, yes in essence, the issue you point out is similar to the.... 'can God create a rock so heavy that he can't lift it?'-problem, yes..."
She then looked back to Thast. "By the way, to get out you've just got to wait for a bit, if you were wondering how to get out. Once your ki becomes familiar enough with this place you'll be able to sense an opening."

Thast would listen to her ramble about her various plans on how to further improve her pocket dimension, but in truth he couldn't begin to imagine just how much energy it would take to create such a world. How can one have a world this is both in chaos and law simultaneously? Such a thought seemed impossible. Yin and Yang on the other hand would be confused about an entirely different matter. "You just left? What rejected divinity? The only reason we are here is because the two of us didn't have a choice."
Thast would take a look around the world, trying to sense the opening Red had mentioned to him. Nothing. He just couldn't see anything. Instead he would ask another question. "So you plan on creating a world of total anarchy for every person inside, by the use of magic which abides a law of some sort. That kind of seems counter productive. In truth, you would have to create individual realities for every being. Further more, you want free will for all, but what if it is one's will for their fate to be decided?"
Yin and Yang would listen to Thast speak, even they were surprised at the points he brought up. Thast did want free will for all so that anyone could choose the path of light or dark. The path of Yin or Yang. He simply viewed that all beings already had freewill. Whether that made him a weakling or a fool he did not know. There was one thing he didn't wish though, for the universe to be a lawless hellscape. "One other thing. If anyone can do anything in this reality, could they become unstoppable in power? What if your people rose against you with this infinite power, and decided to destroy everything you had built?"

"Well, yes. Once I am no longer divine, I am no longer fit to serve in the divine system, so I just left. I wished with the dragonballs to get my divinity removed, you see." she admitted.
"And, there are several reasons for not wanting divinity. While I appreciate the powers bestowed upon me by my divine birth, they weren't given for 'free', exactly. They were given for a purpose - the very reason of our creation - to serve as a supervising power over the universe, either for Good or Evil (to differentiate from the Good - if everything is Good, there is no point in putting effort to be Good, because whatever you do would invariably be so). But I do not wish to serve anymore for the system altogether, so the power is no longer supposed to be 'mine'. It's a matter of honor and respect. I believe the system to be wrong, but I am no thief, so I couldn't just keep the divine power.
It's like when a police hands over their badge - their symbol of power - to renounce being a police. Why would they keep the badge? To pretend to be a police while not actually being one? I wouldn't do that, because it would feel very wrong to me, I'm not that kind of person.
...You could argue that I could've just kept it while being 'against the Heavens' - which I'm not, I'm against the entire deal, but let's assume I am - but that is still part of the design of the system. Divine Evil is supposed to exist, at least, I'm pretty convinced of it. Why would the Creator even let Hell to continue existing otherwise? Or the very concept of Evil? No no. I am not falling into that trap and becoming a Demon, which is just yet another slave of the system. The whole deal, the Creator's whole design of the universe and their design of Good and Evil, is wrong, and I don't want to be part of it - it sickens me. Forcing people into doing 'Good' things and dissuading people from doing 'Evil' things through the existence of an Afterlife? Yeah, 'do Good or YOU'LL SPEND ETERNITY SUFFERING UNTOLD AGONY' - yeah, I don't like that at all, that's threatening someone. I don't like the idea of Heaven either, mind you, it's just the other side of the same coin. Like yeah, 'you have free will but you're actually only supposed to do these things' - that's not very free! Bah. But anyways, I still respect my brethren and what they believe. I just have my own opinion on the matter."
She cleared her throat. "...However, I just couldn't lose my divinity normally. Shinjins are fundamentally divine, it's their purpose. So I had to resort to extreme methods."
"That aside, I find being born with extreme power to be quite unfair to the rest of species in the universe. I didn't earn that godly power, so I felt guilty having it." she added. "All I have now is what I have earned on my own, which seems a lot more just to me."
"And yes, I intend to create that sort of world." she replied. "It is unfortunate that my magic has to follow certain rules too, but that's just the process of it. The result will be different - hopefully. And yes, it is possible that I'd have to create realities for every single being, and that is honestly not a bad option in my opinion. And if someone's will is for their fate to be decided, from a world where everything is possible, they could wish to make that happen. Or wish for it to have already happened. Their choice. It's that kind of power that I want to give to everyone."
"The 'destroying everything' thing is the same issue with conflicting wishes." she mentioned, and then shrugged. "In all honesty, there are several solutions to that problem, as I've mentioned. Maybe they destroy their own personal reality, that would be fine. Or maybe they actually do destroy absolutely everything - that would be fine with me too. As long as it's in a fair way, I don't see the problem." |

Thast would contemplate the woman's explanations further. He himself was quite in touch with the spiritual would, after all he did mediate for training quite often. Even still, he was no philosopher. Though she did make a point about good and evil being forced, if both were no more, all that would be left were moral greys. The kind of world she wanted to build would focus on the selfishness of oneself. Thast, being a good aligned person, understood things much differently. To him, it was an honor to fight for the lives of others.
He would begin to get a little agitated, and say "A world of total chaos and selfishness... Ya know what this sounds like to me? Your just selfish! You want to create a universe that no one else has agreed upon but yourself! If you create a world that has no true reality, then nothing will matter! Love will not be true! Sacrifice will not matter or mean anything! Reality is not relative, there is truth, and there is not. I don't know about this current divine system as well as you do, I must admit, but a universe without law or reality is not a true universe."
Yin and Yang would remain silent for the earthling's speech. Yang would step forward a bit and speak up, "The kid makes a good point. If someone wants to be evil, they can't be evil with out good existing. And vise versa. If morals don't exist, than many choices don't exsist..."

"Selfish?" she replied, to then hold her chin. "Probably. But ultimately, this would be for the benefit for everyone else, that is my desire. And if I have to sacrifice myself to accomplish that, I will, as 'selfish' as that may be..." "But, yes. You may be of the opinion that a universe with no law or absolute order is horrible, and that's fine. I simply disagree with that."
She then shrugged. "And sure you could be 'good' or 'evil', but it would now be defined by your own choices instead of a supreme entity. Why would you need an absolute power to praise or condemn your actions if you are that absolute power? Just define what is Good and Evil yourself, no? And if you really insist on having an external judge, you could just choose it to be so too." "That is the sort of world that I envision." she continued, to then conjure her margarita glass to be full again for her to drink it. "I find morality to be horribly relative too." she added. "To bring up a historic example - Hitler believed he was doing a great good. His intents were pure, and from his perspective, he believed he was doing a great and righteous work, but from our perspective, he arguably did great harm. Who is more right? The Nazis would say that they are. We would say that we are.
Likewise, in the Bible, God is defined as infinitely loving and just, but he commands the deaths of thousands of innocent people, including children. He even gives explicit prices to men and women, in Leviticus 27 - with women worth less. Nowadays that's ignored though, but back then, it was actually taken to be right to discriminate against women like that. It was the ethics at the time. And now it's different. That's the problem - there is no true absolute morality as the Heavens might pretend there is, and even if there was, what is the divine's motivation to set it up in that way? Sure there's material benefit in collaboration and being 'Good' selflessly, I find that fine, but what's the point for the Creator and their servants of a grandiose Good and Evil intertwined into the fabric of afterlife and souls? I believe that: none, really. And I'd really appreciate if they stop pretending as if there was.
Besides, the guy who decides your ultimate eternal fate is some dude who can have his bad days and good days, maybe he does mistakes and sometimes he forgets to take his coffee or spills or something and people are sent to the wrong place forever. Or he just feels grouchy and sends people to Hell needlessly. What kind of messed up system is that? If you wanted some kind of embodiment of the judge of Good and Evil, someone who gives those concepts purpose at all via the Afterlife - it's really just a dude behind a desk. Really. It's that dumb. He's called Yemna by the way, cool guy. Used to go to the lunch cafeteria with him.
Anyways, back to what you said that what's the point if there is no Good and Evil above you to judge your actions, the Creator actually has that problem right now, as he is supposed to be the one above those. So, what motivates him? Why should he even care about us, or even create the concept of Good and Evil in the first place if there is no real ethical point to him doing it anyways? But he did do it. And just like how he doesn't need morality, I find that neither do we. You see:
I want all to become Creators." |

Thast would raise an eye brow, as well would Yin and Yang. All three of them would be completely baffled at the examples the strange female Shinjin would bring up. The Bible? The kai's had written no such guides. A dictator? such men did exsist, but none like the one the woman had described. "Look I don't know any of the examples you just mentioned. Perhaps they were from alternate time lines you may have seen, but none exist in our history." Thast would look around the world, things only seemed to become more chaotic. If this was the type of world she wanted to create for everyone, he would have to stop her some day. This would not be that day however. He was far too weak, and Yin and Yang weren't in the best shape either. Even if they all fought together, they were on her turf now. Thast needed to train, and take the fight back to the real world.
Gathering allies would also be key in defeating her. He couldn't come to Dain about this. His master may actually agree with this one's philosophy, as much as he hated to think about it. He would look at both Yin and Yang, and then to Red Herring. "Now I see why they call you the heretic. While Yin and Yang were cast out for their bastard birth, you chose to leave. Not that that matters. I suppose time is something that can break someone. After all, time does not truly exist. Now, I've tired of this dribble. I will be leaving now..."
Thast had taken his time to come up with an escape plan. The paradise dimension would respond to one's greatest desires and make them true. So, what if it was someone's greatest desire to leave the world? The earthling would raise his right arm, and next to him a door would appear. "I believe I've discovered a flaw, in your system." He would then open the door, and begin to walk through, leaving the area. "Come on Yin. Yang, lets go." Usually the two spirits were the ones in charge, especially Yang. But the two of them would follow Thast back to the real world without question this time. "The next time we meet may be your last Red. I won't allow your world of insanity to be created..."
(OOC: Gonna end it here, I was running out of ideas. Congrats! Your my first enemy! No, I'm not being sarcastic)
