Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"Seriously, that's the most ridiculous discovery of human civilization so far. But they are far off from the truth. I will keep everything short and get straight to the topic. After all, you are my enemy."

A brief pause later, Asura continued, "A reality is a period between one 'big bang' to another. One reality gets destroyed, and another is created. But there are multiple things to keep in mind.

Just because one reality gets destroyed doesn't mean a new one will be created. And that also doesn't mean that the people living in reality died or went extinct.

I am from a second reality, where everything was the case. Every reality is the same, but of course, different people and different civilizations. Most of the things were the same, even the base and foundation of the universe, but it was created with different laws and principles.

And by laws, I mean the laws of the universe. They were very strict but also righteous. If you killed someone, the law would strike, and you will have to atone and redeem for your crime by sacrificing something important to you.

You may even lose your loved ones for the crime you committed. The punishment was… cruel… but justified. Of course, if you were killed in self-defense or in war, the law would permit your crime and forgive it.

Everyone feared the law, it was absolute, and no one could defy it in any way. But there are always loopholes for a reason. An evildoer could roam free without any crimes on his head, but he was still evil.

He could ask someone else to do it. He could make someone else do it. He could manipulate and use people like tools. There is much more to this, but I think that's enough about the laws.

In the second reality, there were vampires, witches, dragons, elves, fairies, eldritch, and many more races. And then there was a mortal race, which you may think of as humans.

But the mortals weren't humans like your reality. They could do any and everything through practice and hard work. They could cultivate and master the Daos. Achieve the unthinkable and reach the apex.

I… was one of those mortals. Born as an alleged son of a king and a prostitute at a brothel. My mother was… oh, my bad. I shouldn't go too deep into my backstory. I doubt you are even interested.

So the mortal world was a hotspot for every race. It was filled with magic and cultivation. There weren't different worlds for races like in this reality, but there were realms.

Of course, one would think of mortals as the weakest since they get nothing from birth. Dragons, for example, are born with impenetrable skin. Elves are born with infinite mana. And such, but humans had nothing, and they had to achieve and earn everything on their own.

I lived as a street rat, barely surviving my childhood. Bla Bla Bla, I became an adult. I didn't know I was the alleged son of the king, but I had his bloodline. I was used as a sacrifice by the king, and that's when everything started.

After becoming the strongest mortal, I challenged other races. I traveled around the world and realms. I learned and got stronger. But that wasn't enough. I had to defeat the existence of the law, and before I had realized… I had become an existence feared even by the gods.

I… just wanted to do one right thing, and the gods took that away from me. They took everything away from me. My lover… my kids… my motivation to become strong and protect the world from evil… everything.

As they say, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain, to see yourself become something you once absolutely despised to your core. And thus, Asura was born.

After countless reincarnations and billions of billions of years, I defeated one god and gained the name… Asura. I was labeled as an enemy of the gods, and every god, demigod, and their sons and daughter came after me.

I died and reincarnated again and again. My reincarnation couldn't be stopped, not even by the gods, because I owed a favor to the law. And because of that, my soul couldn't die until the law had returned the favor to me.

The gods wanted to break my reincarnation cycle, but that didn't work. So each and every time I was reborn, they killed me. Apparently, the laws weren't for the gods.

Then the gods made a mistake. They predicted my birth and killed me as soon as my mother gave birth to me. However… she had conceived twins. The gods thought they had killed me… but that was my twin.

The first thing I did in life was to master the Dao of life and death. Thus, I became immortal. I contained and increased my knowledge with every reincarnation, so I was getting stronger with every reincarnation.

And then… Asura went on a killing spree. Killing one god after another. The demigods, their sons, and daughters, everything exists in the heavens. And I became the new and the one and only god.

I guess the universe didn't like that and destroyed everything to create… this reality… your reality. And did you notice now that the humans didn't get magic or cultivation? Because I was afraid another Asura would be born.

The other races can't evolve like humans did. But in this reality, the universe fixed that by not giving them anything, no opportunity to become stronger than any other races. Indeed… a worthless existence.

They are not contributing anything to the universe; nothing would change if they were removed from existence. In fact, the burden in the universe will decrease."
