Chapter 2 - A New Hope?

"Let's see... How to become,

...

WHAT?!" I exclaimed in surprise at what I was reading. This is the very book we might need to read to find Lord Genesis.

"Still, though... what a coincidence that it survived. It looks like Iris, the God of Luck, is on my side. And Alvis had this book the whole time in his library? The books made by the creations are really intriguing and weird at the same time," I continued, while activating my teleportation powers to go to where Inami had gone.

"Inami! I have found a way to search for Lord Genesis!" I exclaimed excitedly, which might have seemed strange, given my typical all-black outfit. "Really? For once, you're not making me do all the work," Inami responded with a smile. "Aww, I love that smile. I will ask the God of Memes for a #ProtekDatSmile for that," I said happily.

It's not often that Inami smiles, and I also have a little crush on her, despite her being way older than me. "S-shut up about that! What did y-you find that will make us able to find Him, anyways?" I could tell she liked me too by that small blush creeping on her, but from what I could tell, she was too shy to tell me. My Lord, what's with all these petite women with tsundere-ness?

"It is a book called ," I said with a smirk.

"Shinida!!! Now it's time to stop joking around!!!" I successfully broke her calm faรงade, and now she is as red as a tomato. How she can blush that hard from just that is unknown. "Sorry, sorry. You looked a little stressed when I saw you. Try to relax a little," I said with a reassuring tone.

"Mmm... Yes... Thank you. I'm sorry for the outburst I had," Inami said, looking away from me with a smaller but still visible blush. Not wanting to waste any more time, I said with a more serious tone, "It's a book named . From what I know of the creations, Fallen Gods mean Gods that fell and became one with the creations, if I am correct," after my words, Inami began thinking. "Have you read the book yet?" She asked with curiosity.

"No, I haven't. I was thinking we could read it together so we can shorten the time needed to read it. Not that reading this hundred-page book will take hours or anything," I deadpanned, noticing Inami's blush starting to deepen. "O-okay, when will we read it?" Inami stuttered a little.

"Right now. Or do you want me to clone this book so you can read the copy?" I asked her. I do love her to my core and I still wanted to flirt with her more, but this is not the time since all creation is on the verge of collapse. What is the use of love if you did not exists anymore?

"I don't mind reading it t-together," Inami said, still blushing. I nodded, not minding her attitude anymore, and decided to throw myself onto a sofa. 'Comfy,' I noted to myself, bringing this sofa with me, when I became a Fallen God. Inami sat appropriately next to me, and I began to open the book, with Inami leaning close to read.

[How to Become a Fallen God for Beginners]

[Written by: Felhope]

"Pfft! What kind of name is Felhope?! The parents who created him must have hated him or something! Even with 'Hope' in their name, it's still weird!" I said and then burst out laughing. "S-shinida! I told you that now is not the time to joke around!" Inami said with a slightly angry tone. "Sorry, sorry!" I said, holding my hands out as the book floated in the air. I grabbed the book again and began flipping through its pages.

[To know what you want to become, you must know what it is that you want to become. A Fallen God is called so when a God loses their divinity. As they lose their divinity, they will lose a large portion of their abilities. In this case, a Fallen God will lose 99.9% of their entire power. Do not be fooled by this. Even though Fallen Gods are severely weakened Gods, their mere existence can affect the universe they are in within a few weeks. And if a Fallen God decides to go all out, they can still destroy either a large amount of the universe they are in in a matter of minutes, or even completely destroy the entire universe and enter the outer-verse, a place where things are not bound by the laws of the universe.

Now that you know what a Fallen God is, this is how you can turn into one. The way is simple... Broke a rule made by The One who made the rules of the Gods and enjoy your life being a Fallen God.]

"...That was faster than I thought. Hey Inami, do you remember any of Lord Genesis' rules? It's been hundreds of eons, and I seem to have forgotten it." I asked, closing the book.

"Of course I remember. At that time, you were just sleeping with your eyes open. Number 1: No infighting. Number 2: You shall respect your elder Gods. Number 3, You shall not sexually harraassss-! ..." "What is it? And why do I hear a kettle wheezing?" I asked her and then myself, until I realize that it was Inami's face that was about to have second degree burns because all of her blushing non-stop.

The good thing is that she did not bleed through her nose... yet. Wait I had a great idea now, "Heheh. Hey Inami, are you in love with me? I should tell you I am six eons younger than you. Are you about to confess to someone who is younger than you by a large margin? Isn't that pe-"

*SLAP*

"doAAAA!!!" I exclaimed as I was being flung by a simple slap to the cheek.

"SHI. NI. DA!!!" I heard Her yelling my name. 'She must've missed me. that's why she called me. Hihi!'

(After Incident)

I cleaned the nonexistence dust off my clothes. "Okay, on a serious note, we found a way to go and find Lord Genesis. But now, a problem has arisen," I said, grimacing. "It's about where He actually is, isn't it?" Inami asked, to which I nodded and she too grimaced.

"Out of all the hundreds of trillions of universes, only one is where we can find Him. That's the only reason why others never tried to find Him by observing universes. We are just too big and too little numbered to notice every single living being in a single universe. I wonder if we might find Him this way," I said.

"But just because of that, it doesn't mean we will back away, right, Inami? Besides, even if we find Him as we are now, we still can't interact with the creations. Lord Genesis going on vacation makes Him a temporary creation as He will interact with other creations. And us Gods are prohibited from interacting with them." She nodded in agreement. "You're right. Even though it will be hard, it's for the sake of all creations. Let's go find the God of Clones," she said before teleporting away.

'I'm relieved that becoming a Fallen God is not that hard. Imagine if we needed to be separated,' I thought to myself, grimacing at the thought of being alone in a new plane of existence. "Wait, why am I still holding this? No matter... Bye, book!" I exclaimed as I threw Alvis' book away and teleported near Inami's Life Aura.

Unbeknownst to me and Inami, the book opened by itself, and words started to appear on the next to the page we were reading last time.

[As of right now, every Fallen God shall be separated by ten universes. This is because with two Fallen Gods in close proximity, their unstable existence will cause the universe to be destroyed within seconds.]

(Inami POV)

As soon as Shinida teleported to me, he began to ask, "Why do we need to find God of Clones though?" I replied, "Number 1, no infighting. It will look like infighting since we will come to them uninvited and make a surprise attack. As much as I hate this, we must make them think we attacked them for no reason." I had to hide my pained expression while saying those words. "Don't worry, they will thank us later for saving all existence," Shinida said with a warm smile, and it took all my willpower not to blush. "I guess you're right," I said.

We managed to enter Erlaf, the God of Clones' room without him noticing. We decided to make our presence known to him, so we walked up to him. Erlaf noticed us and with a surprised yelp, he began to speak, "Hik! The Gods of Life and Death! I am honored to see you! What are you doing in my room?!" Erlaf asked, surprised.

"You will thank us later, Erlaf." Shinida said before we immediately launched ourselves to attack Erlaf, who screamed hysterically while holding his hand upwards in hopes of blocking it, and sending a few of his clones to block our attack. But before we managed to hit him or his clones, our bodies became stunned, as if time around us had stopped, though our consciousness remained unaffected.

As we were stunned, a bright light consumed our bodies, and we saw a stone replica of Lord Genesis. "๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ ๐˜Ž๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ด?! ๐˜•๐˜ฐ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต'๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ. ๐˜๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ข ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ," Shinida said to me through his mind. So I responded, "๐˜ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต." After that, we decided to remain quiet. Then, we heard a loud booming voice coming from Lord Genesis' replica, even though its mouth did not move one bit.

"A rule has been broken by The God of Life and The God of Death! I, who created the rules of this Realm, I shall punish both of them! Begone from this Realm, Evil Gods!" the replica shouted. As it finished, I started to feel extreme pain and nausea inside my head. 'My Genesis! It's so painful!' I exclaimed to mind. I tried my best to look at Shinida, but I seemed to be unable to turn my head due to being stunned.

"G-Graaaggh!! I can't handle this anymore! When will we fall?!" Shinida exclaimed in apparent agony, which I failed to notice, as I was succumbing to the pain inside my head. It almost made me regret my decision to become a Fallen God.

Thankfully, the pain began to subside, along with the nausea, but I also felt my feet warming up as if we were changing realms. True enough, as my face started feeling a change in temperature, my eyes saw us being sucked into separate portals. After that, I wondered, where will we land? Will we survive wherever we end up together? Since Fallen Gods can still affect the universe they are in just by existing.

I tried to talk to Shinida but I can't seem to talk to him. I guess we will able to talk again in the universe we came in to.

After my whole body began to feel the odd temperature, I lost consciousness without knowing....

"WAAAH!!! WAAAAAHH!!!"
