Zenith first experienced sharp pain all around his body as he willed his body to self-destruct. Glancing at the God in front of him one last time than seeing just white in his vision, followed by a fade to black.
He felt he hadn't moved an inch or more so his soul hadn't moved an inch. As if stuck in place. A few moments later, Zenith's soul was suddenly tugged upon downwards as if drawn into the darkness below him. Feeling this strange force pull him down more and more, he soon noticed a swirl almost like a whirlpool of white and blue light.
The whirlpool seemed odd at first glance, and As one grew closer, they would notice it was a whirlpool made entirely of souls. The light it gave off also let Zenith examine his state a bit better; his appearance was no different from those of other souls all seemingly equal and reflecting their past images before death.
Strangely enough, paying more attention to detail, he would discover that every soul he laid eyes on whether it was in the whirlpool's swirl or below and even those beside him that appeared out of nothingness as he had. They all began falling towards the vortex-like vortex. All of the soul's eyes were closed as if they were in a deep sleep.
"Why is it that I am awake while the souls of others are asleep?" Zenith was a little curious as he tried to piece together the events. "It couldn't have been God, could it?" He seemed lost in thought. Indeed there were rules to follow after all if he retained all his knowledge before his death that would be quite unfair for others.
More so considering he now had the memories of Four cosmos worth of creatures ranging from the weakest to those Apex beings who stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"That leaves only the wish made? Or is my soul a bit special?" Zenith had no answer for this at the moment. Regardless there were no negatives he could see, at least not immediately where this would be an issue. Right now, he had a wholly memorable experience in the cycle of reincarnation. It was quite a stunning sight.
As he grew closer and closer to the whirlpools lower portion, he realised just how large it was. Enormous wouldn't be enough to do it justice. Zenith knew if he was caught in that whirlpool who knew just how long it would take to get to the bottom it was that massive in scale.
"If I get caught in that flow, I will go insane from waiting for my next life. What can I do to skip it?" Zenith Tried hard to think of something and even try various methods regarding soul movement that he knew, but the most he could do is move his soul to a slight degree.
"Damnit...will I be stuck here for decades?" he seemed a little unsatisfied. As his attention was focused on the whirlpool, he noticed two souls below suddenly grow closer to each other before bumping followed by a repulsive force seemingly blowing them apart as if they were positive and negative charges.
"That's it!" he seemed delighted, he quickly glanced around before spotting a soul near him. Looking closer This was the soul of an older man who looked withered yet dignified. Up close one could see he was dressed in royal robes and a heavily adorned crown.
Zenith wasted no time making his way over to the man before they both collided together. That repulsive force was strong as Zenith's soul fluctuated slightly. His soul had been pushed away by the repulsive force towards the centre of the whirlpool, but he was not quite there yet.
"A few more should do the trick" Zenith thought. He repeated this method a few times, causing small white flashes to be seen from a distance. After having done this a dozen or so times in total, he was satisfied, but he also knew there would be some time before falling in completely.
"perfect," he muttered to himself before realising something. As he looked down, he suddenly noticed at the centre, there was a big white circular platform hovering within the whirlpool with what appeared to be a figure seated. "it can't be is that..."
Zenith was stunned because the individual who appeared sitting on that throne looked like that God fellow he had seen before except this one seemed to look different wearing what appeared to be Buddhist attire. Their skin was almost identical with minor differences in the starry sky.
Zenith seemingly grew closer and closer in free fall towards the platform and was looking more solemn. This God looking individual was growing larger and larger until Zenith suddenly fell on what was an excellent glowing marble platform, his soul-shaking a little from the impact but not hurt.
Zenith remained still and didn't move, he waited a few minutes yet nothing seemed to happen that giant Buddhist God who was as tall as a skyscraper was not moving at all as if he hadn't noticed anything.
"Is he asleep?" Zenith thought to himself. Still, a not a moment later, a voice called out causing everything to shake even the whirlpool to tremble a little.
A voice broke the odd silence, booming out loudly. "Is who asleep...." after this voice spoke, Zenith found his soul lift by some strange force and move over towards the seated Buddhist. On closer inspection, his body was littered with prayer beads. Each one was amazingly a planet this guy was greedy in Zenith's opinion.
"You dare!?" The God uttered with annoyance, thinking of Zeniths thoughts of greed towards him with contempt. His right eye-opened to glance at the soul of Zenith hovering in front of him. The eye that opened was similar to other God that Zenith had met, except the colour of this galaxy like pupil was different.
"Well Hello," Zenith spoke in a respectful tone he would be lying if he said he wasn't sceptical regarding his fate. after hearing Zenith's reply, the Seated Buddhist like God looked carefully at him "A soul that's memories the cycle couldn't wash away completely, how rare."
That powerful voice echoed again throughout the cycle of reincarnation. "Are you a Monk or Buddhist or maybe you are Tathagata?" Zenith was quite a bit curious and couldn't control himself from asking he wasn't terrified but fascinated. He had been through a bit too much to worry right now.
"Tathagata?.." the God asked before his other eye-opened, glancing at Zenith carefully for a moment as if reading his mind, his form began to change to look like the image zenith had of Tathagata. "Tathagata I like this" the God uttered with approval.
"This God seems a little more simple-minded than the other." Zenith couldn't help but think but realised his mistake." the circle of reincarnation shook again. "HMPH!!" that mighty snort caused existence in this void to quiver.
"Since you have given me something interesting, I will let this insolence go just once. Though it seems you had met one of the others before. Who was it that lets you be so arrogant before me?"
The figure in the form of Tathagata spoke, Zenith's heart would be beating quickly, but right now, he didn't have one. He just remembered the image of the other God, which caused the God in front of him to feel disdain as his brows quivered with annoyance immediately.
