Chapter 5 - loneliness

Ascending to the exalted position of a god-king granted Chrono unparalleled power and dominion over the vast multiverse. His ascendancy rippled through the fabric of existence, and the cosmos bowed before his authority. Yet, amidst the opulence of his rule, an unexpected emptiness pervaded his divine being—a profound solitude that echoed through the corridors of his godly realm.

As the ruler of countless realms and galaxies, Chrono wielded unimaginable power, shaping and molding the cosmos according to his whims. He sculpted celestial bodies, breathed life into new worlds, and commanded the very essence of creation. However, the weight of omnipotence was an isolating burden, a crown of sovereignty that came with the heavy cost of detachment from mortal existence.

Surrounded by the splendor of his divine dominion, Chrono yearned for connection—for the warmth of mortal emotions, the unpredictability of mortal life, and the simplicity of mortal bonds. His omnipotence stood as an insurmountable barrier, distancing him from the mortal experiences that once defined his existence.

Despite his celestial grandeur, Chrono found himself adrift in an infinite sea of loneliness. The echelons of power and sovereignty he'd attained seemed trivial in the face of an unquenchable thirst for companionship and genuine connection.

Driven by an unfulfilled longing, Chrono pondered the sacrifice he'd made in his quest for godhood. The adulation of countless beings, the cosmic symphony orchestrated at his command—all of it paled in comparison to the heartfelt connections he'd left behind in the mortal realm.

In his divine solitude, Chrono yearned for a return to the fleeting moments of mortal life, where love, loss, and the simplicity of existence had held profound meaning. And so, amidst the splendor of his godly throne, the ultimate ruler of the multiverse found himself contemplating the enigmatic nature of his solitude—an expanse of emptiness that transcended the boundless cosmos he now governed.
