Reincarnated as a World

Ch.101 The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse!

Surrounding Eridel were 4 eggs the size of watermelons. One of them was a pitch black colour that was so dark that if one were to look at it, they would almost think that they were looking at a hole in the fabric of reality. The only thing that truly prevented this was the beautiful grey patterns that covered the entire egg, they were swirly and elegant and seemed to dizzy the senses if you stared at it for too long. And on top of that, the egg radiated a strong aura of [Death], [Darkness], [Corruption] and [Space].

Clearly, whatever was inside had a strong affinity with those specific Laws. However, there were also 2 other abstruse feelings that could be sensed from the egg, but they were not Laws. They were Intents. Namely the Intent of [Wolf], which in itself was crazy, along with the Intent of [Omniscience]. A strange but versatile Intent.

But the fact that there was not only 1, but 2 Intents at all, especially when coming from an unborn Lifeform such as this, was absolutely mind-blowing.

Intents were extremely powerful and were able to accomplish many things. Their power came from how well the user comprehended them, and how well he/she could use their imagination to enforce their Inrent on reality. It was often said that they were even harder to grasp than the Laws themselves, but if one was able to comprehend an Intent, they would find out that even if they weren't as powerful as a Law on their own, they were much more useful. So it could be imagined how crazy it would be when an Intent achieves its natural state, which was to be paired with a Law.

Something this unborn being had already achieved…

The next egg was the colour of sand and had beige coloured cloud-like patterns covering its shell. From the egg, a strong feeling of heat and dryness could be felt, causing the space around it to distort with its intensity. From the looks of this, it could be said that the egg contained the Laws of [Sand], the Laws of [Corruption], the Intent of [Heat], the Intent of [Desolation], and the Intent of [Withering].

The terrifying Intent of Desolation and even Withering… the being born from this Egg was not to be messed with at all.

The third egg was silver coloured with fear-inducing red streak-like patterns that criss-crossed to form incomprehensible symbols all over the egg. This egg constantly released piercing waves of wind, and an almost overwhelming feeling of sharpness and chaos that made one feel like their eyes would be lacerated away from them if they stared for too long. In this egg, there were the Laws of [Corruption] that all of these eggs seemed to have, the Laws of [Wind], the shocking Laws of [Destruction], the Intent of [Sharpness], and the Intent of [Swords].

Clearly, whatever came out of this egg was going to be an unparalleled juggernaut.

The fourth and final egg was a navy blue coloured one that was patterned with yellow stars. Just like the sand coloured egg, the atmosphere around it shimmered about as if the egg was extremely hot, but unlike the sand coloured egg, this one didn’t give off any heat but instead an illusive feeling. On top of that, the golden sparks that would flicker around the egg here and there complimented the illusive shimmers and made the egg look exceedingly ethereal. But as for its true specialities, the egg had the customary Laws of [Corruption], the Laws of [Illusion], the Laws of [Soul], the Laws of [Lightning], the Laws of [Time], the Intent of [Domination] and the Intent of [Seduction]... 

…It actually had 5 Laws along with 2 Intents, making it arguably the most terrifying egg out of all of them. This egg would definitely give birth to a being that would cause chaos anywhere it went.

“The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse…” Eridel said as smiled at the 4 eggs with visible pride. “Ah, but perhaps a change in name would be appropriate? They have nothing to do with horsemen after all, or horses for that matter.” Eridel mused as he once again began stroking his chin.

“The 4 Knights of the Apocalypse? The 4 Riders…? The 4 gods…? Well, that one wouldn’t be too far fetched. But… -Tch semantics, semantics, I’ll just leave the names as they are. Now as for who’s going first…” Eridel said as he eyed each of the eggs, trying to make a decision.

“It has to be this one” Eridel said as he finally locked his attention onto the Navy blue egg covered in yellow stars. The egg stopped orbiting him and floated to a position that was 2 metres in front of him. “As the most peculiar, it certainly has the right of being the oldest.”

“Hmm… Well then, I suppose this is goodbye for now. I do not know what you will turn out to be, but you have inherited some memories from me and will surely be able to accomplish what you were born to do. Do not disappoint me.” Eridel said, knowing that the unborn being within was very much alive and capable of hearing him, even if it could not understand him yet.

“Go forth, Horseman of Conquest” Eridel said as swiped his hands through the air, sending the egg flying towards the Eonix World even though he didn’t make contact with it.

The egg, which was revealed to be the Horseman of Conquest, picked up speed as the gravity of the Planet dragged it down. Soon, it would collide with the Planets built in Magic Shield, which was no doubt made to be resistant to damage. How could an egg withstand being thrown at it at that kind of speed?!

Was the Horseman of Conquest going to die before it could even be born…?!

No. Of course not.

The egg seamlessly passed through the shield as if it didn’t exist, pierced through the atmosphere of the planet, and broke through the clouds in the sky without a single drop in speed.

Looking at the gloating grin on Eridel’s face, it was very clear that the apparent uselessness of the Magic Shield had something to do with him.
