『 That's because of the Shard of Love that chose you the moment you were born! You never made any enemies your whole life until the Mystical Age came 』
"..."
『 The Shard of Love has been exerting its influence this entire time and absolutely nothing knew about it except for the system, even though it just manifested recently 』
"But, why would the Shard of Love choose me? Not to mention, since I was born?? Why???"
『 Do you know the theorems, researches, and statistics that the humans made regarding the uniqueness and probability of all things considered within the universe? 』
"I have an idea about it... It starts off with the probability of pulling a desired card within a deck of cards, considering that it came straight out of a box, which have the cards set in order, and shuffled randomly with an "n" amount of times. The number of sets and probabilities that these set of cards can make, without anything being added outside of the sample or repeating sets, surpasses any calculated data and even the data of the observable universe have"
『 Yes... With that in mind, something also surpasses that data 』
"What is it?"
『 The probability of an existence, a being, a soul, or even a person to be one hundred percent identical, like a perfect clone 』
"Ah! You're saying that the probability is exponentially higher that it's asymptotic to infinity to have identical beings to be created or born"
『 Exactly, but you... You are not included in that data. You are a none of a kind 』
"None of a kind? One of a kind?"
『 None of a kind... Let's go back to the difference between timelines and the multiverse... All timelines and universes are like a copy paste of each other and everyone has variants of each other within them, right? 』
"Yes... There was Sai in present, devolved Sai in that broken timeline, Chibi Sai, and many more! I don't know about other universes though, but according to the theory, that should be the case"
『 Correct... However, you have no variants. Only you exists and none is the same as you. Same with Tenshi since Amatsuka was born in the Field of the Multiverse 』
Philip narrowed his eyes
『 If there was a variant of you in this infinite timelines and universes... Wouldn't there be a number of other variants of Philip that you would meet once you jump through timelines or at least visit you? 』
"I don't know how to respond to that..."
『 You don't have to... The point is, since you are none of a kind, the Shard of Love has chosen you. Another reason is because you possess the ability to become the Embodiment of Kindness and you already are the Embodiment of Neutrality. You have been unconditionally kind to everyone that you've met, which in turn gave you a very good reputation overall. This in turn developed feeling within women with the help of the Shard of Love since it's been harboring you since you were born and the Signature of Kindness has imprinted on you the moment you were born 』
"..."
Philip has his eyebrows furrowed as he is silent and doesn't know what to say
"..."
Tenshi was also silent and let Philip and the system speak to each other. She is gazing at Philip with worried but warm eyes since she already knows the entirety of Philip
『 Do you also know what the Shard of Love has been doing to you this entire time? 』
"What?"
『 Have you ever thought what would the extremely condensed, coagulated, mixed, and blended negative emotions that you have to the point it's almost singularity do to you? 』
"It would shatter my brain and my very being because supposedly, I shouldn't be able to live with all of these negative emotions inside of me. I should've released these, but I chose to keep it and store it... Which is extremely bad for my health and body"
Philip's eyes are slowly losing its light the more he thinks about how he got the well of negative emotions in him
A giant void or a black hole then manifested in the sky, as reflected by the calm ocean, and stayed put
『 Exactly! The Shard of Love has been stabilizing your body 』
"...?"
『 Since the more you store negative emotions, you teeter more into negativity, which will ultimately destroy your body. The Shard of Love countered that and pulled you back to positivity 』
"How?"
『 Your positive traits 』
"...!"
『 All of your actions has been positive and it helped a lot of people. Your constant smile made it so that everyone felt at ease. Your laugh makes it so that you are more approachable. Your desire to constantly help has earned everyone's hearts. The way you make them laugh leaves a mark in their minds or hearts about you. Everything that you have done has been positive so far, even if you think it's fake and you've been making a facade, it was enough to assure people even if what they believe is untrue 』
"..."
『 Because of that... You became the Embodiment of Neutrality, even though you self-proclaimed yourself that... Well, at least you're aware 』
"..."
『 A person that has incredibly negative emotions and view on reality and a person who has extremely positive traits that helps out the majority of everything towards prosperity in one existence... In other words... You 』
"What difference does this make it now?"
『 It's for you to be aware in the future that people you interact with most likely follow you or develop feelings for you, especially of the female gender. Not because the reason for that is the Shard of Love, but because you're you 』
"The system is right, Philip... I fell for you because I saw the kindness in you. I knew that you will take care of me and unconditionally love me. Even if you don't think that, this is my choice to choose you overall"
Tenshi assured Philip after she feels that he was feeling down
"Which came first? The positive traits or the negative emotions?"
『 Technically, negative emotions developed first... But the positive traits came first this time since it's imprinted on you before you were born 』
"I see... Because of these positive traits... I suffered long term... I was taken advantage of... It's not because the Shard of Love or the positive traits balanced my negative emotions... It's the reason my despair showed up... Not that I mind or anything... That is the truth"
"..."
『 ... 』
Tenshi and the system were silent. There was some truth to Philip's words, but he's intentionally twisting it the other way. He didn't want to take credit for his kindness because he only think that it's the right thing to do to be able to be the bigger person. Survival of the fittest as they say and Philip's positive traits allow him to be above everybody else
"Let's move on please..."
『 Shard of Love (Lv. 0) 』
『 Love is considered one of the most powerful forces in the universe, as long as there is an existence or an essence lingering within 』
『 Love could defy everything and anything, that is the heart of every mortal and gods 』
『 Love, once condensed into a single point, is enough to control every being in existence. An intangible concept that changes the changes 』
『 Ultimately, no one was capable to possess the ultimate love for all beings and concepts 』
『 You have proven, through kindness, that you can make a difference, even if you were suffering deep inside of you 』
『 You chose to feel the pain and carry the burden of everyone you considered a loved one through thick and thin, until you enter the void and fall into the abyss 』
『 The Shard of Love is the singularity of love. It doesn't want to give you a test because it considers that you have suffered enough 』
『 An unconditional love that defies necessary judgement 』
『 There's only one favor that the Shard of Love would like to ask for it to become more powerful 』
"..."
『 Show of kindness and acts of good deeds that will benefit certain existences or concepts 』
"Heh... That's easy enough..."
『 Since the start of the Mystical Age, due to the emergence of mana, the Shard of Love has taken quite the amount of energy and was awakened. The full effect of the Shard of Love was activated and this made everyone that you have met like you and veer towards you 』
"Ah..."
『 Your university friends, Ysabelle, Eduardo, the people you met in the Mystical Academy, residents of the Terra Mansion, and most of the divine beings and higher beings 』
"Isn't it just because of my capabilities that they became interested to me, thus they became close?"
『 That's one factor, the Shard of Love is also a factor... It still has a significant difference 』
"What about the people who despise and are mad at me"
『 There are certain aspects and concepts that even the Shard of Love have no effect on... First of all, this is the Seven Deadly Sins, Cedric was filled with Envy and Elaine was fileld with Pride. Because of this, the Shard of Love deemed them worthless and didn't developed their feelings properly. On the other hand, higher to highest beings are not affected by the Shard of Love. This includes the Mana Avatars, True Gods, the Ancient Ones, old Dragon of Gods, and the Epitome of Purity, as well as the top echelons and ranks in all of the Realm of Deities, the Time Felon, and many more 』
The [Shard of Love] then floated over back to Philip and steadily hovered a few inches in front of him
『 In all honesty, the Shard of Love should have leveled up after all those past kindness and good deeds you have done in the past, but since the shard just emerged recently, the level would start from the lowest 』
"I think I got everything that I need to know about the shard... So, this Shard of Love is more like a support kind of power or like self strengthening?"
『 Yes, that's basically it, whereas the Shard of Imagination is like omnipotence, but not really, unless you managed to overcome its trials 』
"Alright, I understand..."
『 Now, let's move on... Tenshi's Totality variable has been long overdue 』
At this point, both the [Shard of Imagination] and [Shard of Love] disappeared in existence, but it is still floating around Philip
The ultraviolet vines that connects Philip and Tenshi started to retract back to Tenshi's arm. The [Void Corsage] retracted back into his wrist and the Void Iris bloomed back. The ultraviolet vines wrapped back around her wrist and her void arm transformed back to her own ordinary arm
It looked like Tenshi now has a black bracelet adorned with small black flowers, black-blue leaves, and ultraviolet band
On the other hand, the red cord that's connecting their pinkie fingers disappeared, but it will still be connecting both of them from all levels of realities and dimensions
The Red String of Fate will not break or snap no matter what happens between the both of them, no matter where they are, and no matter when they are, unless it is severed by an extremely higher and powerful force or intervention
『 Tenshi... 』
"Yes!"
Tenshi was startled as a display appeared in front of her face
『 By being the alter ego of the Totality Catalyst and harboring your body to be able to manifest in the material plane 』
『 You have received the Totality variable by being the Totality Catalyst 』
『 The Totality variable encompasses everything and anything within the universe, just like the Void variable where it is the nothingness and emptiness of the universe 』
"Hm..."
Philip exclaimed in understanding and interest
'If the variable of Totality is the everything and anything of the universe, the variable of Void is the nothingness and emptiness of the universe... Then, Realm would be the worlds and planes, Universe would be the universe itself, Time would be the action of telling, Space would be the action of doing, Life would be the vitality, Death would be the decay, Gravity would be the movement and reaction, Energy would be the fuel, Measurement would be the accuracy and precision, Force would be the instances, Dream would be the desires, Nightmare would be fear and darkness, Destruction would be the erasure and deletion, Temperature would be the suspension and instability, Logic would be the revelations, Omega would be the peak and the highest, Fate would be the flow and change, and Origin would be focus and start of the universe... If the patterns as follows... I would be able to identify the other variables and quickly obtain them... I just need to know how it would correlate with these variable analogies'
『 By obtaining the Totality variable... 』
"..."
"..."
『 You have received the Angelic Shotgun of Totality 』
"!!!"
"!!!"
