Chapter 2: 2. God's Advocate
"Haha... yes I am THE GOD" the giant man loudly proclaimed.
"So... What will happen to me now?" Alexander asked.
God thoughtfully looked at him and said "You look surprisingly calm for a dead guy you know"
"Well... I had accepted the fact that I was going to die even before I died, so it's not really that big of a shock but seeing all this after dying is quite a surprise," he nonchalantly replied. He was only interested in knowing what would happen to him now.
"Good, good... this shows that you are not weak-minded. Now, this is a Judgement hall. People who die are judged here and then sent to heaven, hell, or reincarnation."
As he said that, out of nowhere a book appeared in his hands. He opened it and suddenly golden light engulfed the whole space.
"Hahaha... oh finally... I have found one" The god exclaimed while madly laughing.
Alexander jumped in shock when he saw the sudden light and heard the loud laughter.
When the light faded he asked, "What happened, God?"
God happily looked at his face. He had a wide grin that creeped out Alexander.
"You are the first person to have so much good karma. It's off the charts, it's over 9000, it's..." he excitedly started blabbering.
"Wait, what do you mean good karma?... I have killed many people in the war you know." He asked confusingly.
"Oh, that's nothing son. Your sins are incomparable to your good deeds and those were not murders but duty. Besides, didn't you do it to survive. We don't really judge people for that kind of killing as long as they don't like doing it...." God said and noticed the confused face of Alexander.
"Let me show you what happened after you died..." God stated and a big screen appeared. It had multiple Earth's news channels running on it.
"Look... after you died, the recording went public. The whole world was enraged with your sons. Due to that, your company's market value took a nosedive in the stock market. Your sons had to resign and were later trialed and charged with murder and were sentenced to life imprisonment.
Not only that, but the president also resigned due to public anger and was charged for misuse of power. The whole world cried over your death. The news media kept on saying how humanity just lost its greatest minds due to human greed.
When it was discovered that you also released the formula and method for making medicine for cancer. The whole world started treating you like a messiah. Your medicine saved billions. Many other medicines for other diseases were derived from your formula and saved more people. In the next 40 years, every single person in the world had eaten medicine derived from your formula at least once in their lifetime.
You saved an unimaginable number of people for generations, son." The god stopped speaking when he noticed a small tear in the corner of Alexander's eyes.
Alexender was happy from the bottom of his heart. Not only was he brought to justice but his medicine also reached the people. He fulfilled his promise.
"Haha... Yes, be happy my child. You did all this... for this... you have won a direct ticket to heaven and if you don't want to go there then I have a job offer for you," God offered. He looked at Alexander with a longing expression.
Alexander didn't even think for a second and blurted out his choice with an excited voice.
"I want to go to heaven and meet my wife"
God's brows furrowed when he heard Alexander's wish.
"Son, your wife is not in heaven" he replied.
Alexander's face fell.
"What do you mean?... Is she in he..."
God hurriedly stopped him mid-sentence "No, no... she's not in hell either. She had just enough Karma points to follow the cycle of reincarnation. She's currently back on earth. She was born as a boy in a wealthy family. Look," he said and showed a man on the screen.
"He is...ahem...I mean she is 26 and living a happy life. She did MBA from a well-reputed college and now manages the family business." God informed him in hopes of cheering him up.
Alexander felt a bit better now. He was happy for his wife. He then suddenly smiled when he remembered that his wife used to complain to him whenever she was on her periods.
~You men are so lucky you don't have to deal with this crap every month,~ she used to say.
"I guess she's having it easy now" Alexander mumbled and wiped his tears. He felt much better now. he could finally move on, but then he remembered the orphanages.
"What happened to the orphanages and the kids?" he asked in urgency.
"Oh... don't worry about that. Your sons were murdered in prison in the first week after they were sentenced. After their death, all your money and property went to your charity organization. Many more new orphanages were opened in your name. Not only that, but many new charity events are held in your name. All the orphan kids live their lives with full stomachs and sleep on warm beds." god informed.
*Sigh* Alexander exhaled with a satisfied yet sad smile. He should have felt sad for his children's deaths but he really didn't, instead he felt sad that he couldn't make them a better person. But after what they did due to their greed, they lost their right to be called his sons.
"Let's get back to business, son. Where do you want to go?" God asked once again.
"What was the job offer you were talking about? living in heaven seems boring" Alexander inquired.
God was waiting just for this moment. He got up from his seat and decreased his size to match Alexander's.
"Very good choice, son. There is nothing in heaven except all you can eat food and forever ongoing orgies." God said, omitting some other not so important details, according to him.
Alexander felt disgusted with heaven.
"Well, my son. You see, I created the whole multiverse but after creating it, I realized that I can not enter it or interfere with it personally. Whenever I tried to enter the world, it would just collapse. Hence I made angels to assist me in managing the world. After millions of years. Many of those good for nothing angels succumbed to their dark desires and created demons, dark angels, and other dark creatures.
Since then, angels were forced to stop managing the multiverse and focus on fighting the demons. Managing an equilibrium. Because of all this, the multiverse was left unattended. I don't want to make more angels and disrupt the equilibrium. I tried this before but every time it ends up in angels defecting to the dark side and forming another equilibrium.
This brings you into the story. I was looking for a being with high enough karma for a long, long time and finally, I found you. I will grant you powers and make you immortal. You will have to travel the multiverse and purify it. One of your powers will be called, the eye of judgment.
With that power, you can assess someone's sins and good deeds. You will then have the authority to judge the person with 4 different predetermined punishments.
1. If the person has a Sin percentage of 30% or less than he can be ignored. 90% of humans are like this.
2. If the person has a Sin percentage of 31%-50%, then you can give them time torture. It is basically the ability to change someone's perception of time. You can make a person feel like he spent 1 hour while in the real-world only 1 second passed.
3. If the person has a Sin percentage of 51-70%, this means that the person has started to lose their humanity. You can kill them and send them to hell for them to redeem themselves and restart the cycle of reincarnation.
4. If the person has a Sin percentage of 71-90%, at this point, the person is not human anymore, it has started turning into a dark demon. You will have the ability to erase them. This means that after their death they will be sent to hell without the option of reincarnation.
5. If a person has a Sin percentage of 91-100, this is just pure evil. A dark demon being. You will have the power to erase the soul of the person not just from your universe, but also from all the possible parallel universes connected to that universe. There will be no hell for this kind of evil as its existence would be forgotten and deleted from space and time.
Most of the time you will be meeting people from 1st,2nd and 3rd categories. The 4th and 5th are very rare.
Your main job will be to purify the world. The cumulative purity level should reach at least 90 percent and let me warn you. Don't go around killing every bad guy and expect the world to get better because in some worlds you will find out that more than half of the population is in the 3rd category. You will need to change the worlds from their cores." after saying that he paused, letting Alexander ask any questions.
"What worlds do you mean when you say multiverse? and will I really be invincible? like some kind of a god?" He asked all 3 questions in one go.
"Multiverse means all imaginable universes. Even the fictional ones, like Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, or any other movie, anime, TV show, any imaginary world you can think of. For your second answer, no you will not be invincible. You will be immortal but still killable and..."
"How am I immortal if I can be killed?" Alexander interrupted.
"Well, this simply means that you can be killed but every time you die you will be respawned in a location nearby to where you died. Just like in videogames. But this does not mean you can not become invincible. You will be traveling to many different worlds and can get stronger very quickly. I will give your body the highest affinity to all powers in the multiverse. You were already a very intelligent guy so I will further increase your speed of comprehension to a million times. This will help you comprehend different powers and information and get stronger.
[Read the above paragraph again so that you can understand that MC is not Invincible(OP), he can still die from a bullet to his heart. He will become OP from chapter 5 as he goes to Harry Potter world and learns magic]
I can not make you a god but a demigod(It's a status, not a power), If I made you a god then you will not be able to enter those worlds. You will be my son from now on, you will also have my divine aura which will separate you from all the higher beings as their superior and your official work position will be called God's advocate. Along with your powers, I am granting you a dimensional pocket to store things in it. It is as big as the size of your milky way galaxy. You can even store the whole earth in it, but I advise you to not do it as it would kill everyone on it as the time doesn't move in it... That's it then, any more questions my son?"
"Umm... yes, is there anyone I need to be wary of?" He asked.
"No, you are my son. You don't have to worry about anyone interfering in your work. I'll notify all good and bad entities about this. Still, if you find an angel or demon troubling you then just tell me. I'll give them a good pounding" God said with a slightly evil tone.
Alexander shuddered a little. He could only hope that no angel or demon would come to trouble him.
"Okay, god," he respectfully said.
"Haha... stop calling me god... Trillions of them call me that. You are special... call me father or papa or old man" God said cheekily.
Alexander felt a little awkward with that, he never really had a father so calling someone that felt a bit weird. He guessed that god must have a son complex. So, he decided to fulfill God's wish.
"Okay, old man"
"Yes, that's like my son. It's been so long since someone called me that. Damn it, I miss Jesus. Why the hell did I send him to act as a messiah to that new civilization." he muttered.
Alexander felt that god was a pretty cool guy so he stopped acting so stiff and formal.
"Hey, old man... what about my identity? I am going to need a fake identity to blend in those worlds." He asked.
"Oh, yes... why didn't I think of that... I am turning old I guess... okay, let's do this, I'll set a predetermined identity variable for you. Whenever you go to a new world you will have the identity related to those variables. Don't worry, your identity will be incorporated into that world thoroughly. After all, time and space is my bitch so it's super easy for me to do." God started mumbling once again.
Alexander didn't ask anything more and decided to figure things out in his first world.
"Okay, old man... I am ready to go now," he said excitedly. He really liked the idea of going to fictional worlds.
"Hoho... someone's excited... alright, here you go," God waved his hands.
Alexander felt his body being sucked into a small hole.
"Don't forget to talk to me every once in a while okay, we are always connected to each other. You just have to think about it. Be sure to enjoy yourself, okay? otherwise your work will get boring... Good luck, Son" Alexander heard God's last words before his vision blacked out.
He found himself flying through galaxies at an unimaginable speed. After a while, his vision blacked out once again.
The next time he opened his eyes he found himself sitting on a bench. He was facing a river. He then looked around and saw tall skyscrapers around him and thought that he was in New York.
"Hey handsome," a jogging woman commented.
He checked out his clothes and found himself in a white shirt, over which he was wearing a dark blue vest. A dark blue formal pant and brown leather shoes on his feet, plus a thin gold chain hanging around his neck. He also had sunglasses on. His beard was also neatly cut.
[Just like in the cover]
Suddenly he heard a voice in his head.
"haha... I thought that you wouldn't like those hospital gowns so I gave you these."
It was the old man. To be honest, he liked the dress. It was classy and also looked good on him. He still retained his last body. 6 feet 2 inches tall, he still had white hair but his skin was smoother and made him look fifty-ish years old and not 70 years old.
Alexander then tried to use his eye of judgment. It all felt natural to him. He had never used these powers before but he already knew how to use it like it was a daily thing.
He checked and found out that the world had a purity level of 75%.
"haha... I only have to increase it by 15%. But, where am I? I need to find a newspaper" He spoke to himself and started to walk to a nearby stall.
[BANG]
[BANG]
While he was walking he heard gunshots. Soon he saw a car being chased by the police. The weird thing was that the police and the criminals were shooting at each other with no concern for the public. He tried to focus on the criminal guy's face and recognized him in seconds.
[BANG]
Alexander suddenly felt pain in his chest. He looked down and saw blood oozing from a gunshot wound. He felt extreme pain for a short amount of time before dying.
A second later he respawned on top of a building and the first word that came out of his mouth was the name of that criminal.
"God damn Niko Bellic"
