As they devoured the large Origin Core Crystal, Ervas and Veronica felt a sudden wave of power surge through their very being. The amount of power that this Origin Core has been saving up all this time since the creation of the Future Kritias!

Or was it?

The memories that became to surge through their consciousness said otherwise. It seemed that this Origin Core… It had somehow recorded the event where the two Primordial Titans, Anir and Kelsus, battled against each other to the death!

Their splendorous forms of pure darkness and light clashed against each other incessantly as their movements destroyed dozens of planets and even stars. They were true titans of outer space! Indeed, if they were so big, it was possible for their corpses to actually become whole worlds!

Veronica and Ervas minds glanced over the battle, as the two figures battled against each other furiously. They began to wonder if there was any reason behind such an act. Why were they battling, to begin with? What was the purpose behind this fight?

Without anyone to give them a proper answer, they had to only look at these very vivid memories.

The two titans continued to fight, each one getting the other more and more damaged.

Until finally, both hit each other with all of their might, creating a loud explosion, so powerful it even distorted space and time, the ripples that formed in space were massive, and the two died in that instant, their corpses left floating in the middle of the vast outer universe as the space distorting around them pulled both corpses together, both of them started to mix and merge into a mass of immense ethereal energy, as the space around distorted more, forming a spatial bubble within the spatial layers…

After that, the gigantic bubble divided itself in two, and both bubbles, through the force of their natural division, ended flying elsewhere, while still residing within the spatial layers, due to this, no being outside of the universe were able to see such worlds being formed, and even less when they finally settled down.

The Split Souls consciousness, of course, followed the Future Kritias, which began to develop quickly and faster than the Past Kritias, so fast that when he Past Kritias started to develop, the other had already lived on it.

Both thought that this was why there was such a time difference, they even saw the same events that are described to have happened in the Past Kritias… it was truly like mirrors.

But why? Why did this core record this? Wasn't this formed after that? After the energy gathered ad crystalized in the middle of the planet?

Or were the memories they were seeing… Or something else?

The split souls generated countless split minds and dived into this information, as they found a sea of images and knowledge they had not expected to find, way before Kritias was even born!

What truth lied beyond this? And how was this possible to be recorded like this?

This crystal… and the memories within…

They suddenly saw the origin of it.

A massive mass of darkness spiraling in the middle of the universe, so bit it dwarfed entire galaxies.

It resembled a constant spiral of the attribute Aurora (formerly known as Kireina's clone) used. This was… Chaos.

Why? What is this?

And it didn't stop there, as a massive white light emerged near this chaos, shining brightly as if it were the purest and most beautiful representation of light and whiteness.

Who was this?

As they browsed through the memories of Hekaton, they didn't found anything either, Hekaton didn't know about existences like these.

Although he knew that there were beings named Primordial Deities that were the strongest of the universe, could these massive entities whose sizes were thousands of times bigger than galaxies… be such primordial entities?

If that were the case. Then the spiraling darkness would be Chaos, and the bright whiteness would be The One or God if based in the Christian religion.

Impressive! What did this truly mean?! What did this lead to?

They were seeing it, within the vast memories, they saw the origin of Anir and Kelsus, or… What?

Both Chaos and The One merged two pieces of their existence into one, a single child.

Weren't they two?

The two masses of blackness and whiteness fused together and for a moment, they resembled the spiraling forces of Yin and Yang, it was such a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight that the split souls were left speechless.

This was the birth of a child of two Primordial Deities!

Were Anir and Kelsus… the children of these two entities?

However, as the child was born, I suddenly crystallized and became an egg.

The egg lay down for eons, as The One flew away, while Chaos watched over it from a distance, as the egg emanated bright whiteness that seemed to damage her.

Damn, was The One such a terrible father?!

At least Chaos watched over the egg for all its time, until it cracked open, and from within, a gray-colored ethereal entity with immense quantities of essence was born.

It exuded a bright amount of light, and its sole presence twisted the universe around it, the planets nearby were disintegrated by its immense white and black aura. It had no defined shape. At times it resembled angelic seraphim, and in other times, it resembled a gigantic crimson-red eye.

Chaos tried to approach its children, but the entity seemed to ignore Chaos, moving through the universe on its own.

Chaos fell into silence as it watched over its children, without saying another word, it only watched.

The children flew through countless galaxies and devoured planets and stars for nourishment. However, at some point, it underwent a strange change, an evolution of sorts.

After having accumulated large quantities of energy, it began to glow brightly, until both its darkness and its brightness were separated into two figures, two entities, Anir and Kelsus.

The moment both entities glanced at each other, they started to fight… And like this, they continued until both died and formed Kritias and Mirror Kritias…

Within this entity lied a large, crystallized core, this core divided in two, each one was deposited in the center of both worlds.

The Origin Core the split souls devoured… It was this.
