In an unknown place far away in the universe where space itself seemed to stop existing, there was an entity so big that seemed to contain galaxies and nebulas itself, as if the entire universe resided inside this entity.
This entity had seemingly opened its eye, which seemed to be able to tear apart the fabric of reality itself showing what seemed like its eye.
Iridescent violet-purple hue flickered around a pupil of multiple colours and the iris being pitch black like the surrounding space picturing a beautiful crescendo if not for the absence of any observers.
No one knew how long this entity had been slumbering, nor till how long it'll stay awake as its existence was known to but a few.
The entity was curiously looking at a place where suddenly space flickered and two souls appeared, one on the verge of exhaustion and the other dilapidated.
"Interesting, very interesting." said the being which seemed to cause the entire space to tremble which caused the nearby gigantic planets, stars, entire solar systems to burst apart and turn into smithereens.
Its voice echoes even in space that is supposed to be vacuum and not permit any sound phenomenon but this entity seemed to be living in its own set of rules of reality making its existence indiscernible.
"Even those mere manifestation of laws who self-proclaim themselves as Gods don't dare to go against fate yet these 2 mortals have tried 100s of times to turn their destiny, to go against it" continued the entity
"Curious. I am curious to see what will happen if given another chance. Hmm, but I cannot interfere due to the restriction… Yes, this is perfect, you pay the price for your last chance."
The entity suddenly shifted its eyeball and started to look through multiple realities, worlds being born and destroyed yet it did not stop until it finally found a world where they could enter in their current state.
"How ironic. The only world you can enter is this one. Haha, such a perfect world can't be a coincidence, even after 100s of lives of escaping destiny, it seems you were still in the palm of your fates. How ironic indeed."
"She can't maintain her sanity with just this much soul but he can so it'll depend on him, how funny and how cruel. But for the cost, you'll have to forget all your past lives forever except your current ones where you just ended… for now that is." said the entity knowing that neither of them even knew or could hear him.
"Alright, there you go for your last life and also the last chance to save that world might be just you two creating unknown variables. It'll be quite intriguing indeed" With that, the being used some mystical powers and both their souls vanished to usher in their new and final life.
Afterwards, the entity kept thinking if it was okay to manipulate fate but it couldn't think for long as it was forced to slumber once again. After all, it could no longer interfere in the universe after using its powers.
***
Due to the entity's interference, similar beings woke up not knowing what could even wake them up only to find it to be a trivial matter and slumbering yet again.
For they couldn't care less about two mortal's fate, rather they wouldn't care less even if a few universes died out as nothing could harm them but each other or beings at their level but they too were forced to slumber.
After all, they themselves were fallen and destroyed universes devoid of life, that gained sentience but the heavenly laws suppressed them as they could cause chaos across different universes.
***
Meanwhile, there were other beings who took interest as soon as they noticed new souls in their world but they were too strong to interfere, for now. There were such strong beings all over the universe but most of them were restricted or slumbering too far away to even notice the abnormality.
Less than 5 beings could even notice this, yet couldn't know anything as the laws prevented them for the lower energy dense regions will be destroyed entirely even if they just tried to use their energy to descend into their followers.
The lower energy dense region being the world where the two souls had been sent to as it was the only place where there was perfect coincidence or they were fated to be sent here.
***
The fates of the two were interconnected yet disjoint but after 100s of cycles of going against destiny their strand of fate had reached near perfection. Yet, this last step was the most horrifying as it could either be complete or spell 100% doom for them.
No one knows how their fates will affect this world or the world will affect their fates and how the heavenly laws will alter the entire world itself to adjust their existence as this wasn't a normal world from the beginning.
The two poor souls were unaware and oblivious to all that was occurring to them as they weren't even a speck of dust in front of such beings even in their peak state let alone their current dilapidated states.
The two had ushered in this final life and final chance to be together after falling to defy fate for their past hundreds of lives but no one knew their fates as this time even the heavenly laws had taken a step back to be silent observers.
The world changed its sky's colors to signify its grudge towards the grueling fate of repeated destruction and regression yet this time it was to reject the two souls as it did not want to change its flow.
The change was for such a short time that even SSS rankers felt they might have hallucinated but they still kept their wariness as they had heard of the "Era of Prodigies and Chaos" coinciding as the world balances itself by producing more prodigies to increase its chances.
Unfortunately, neither could the world reject the pair of souls nor the SSS rankers found anything warranting the world changing its flow yet it changed right under their noses.
