They saw the old monk looking at both of them, smiling. They had so many questions to ask as they both looked at the old man who didn't reply, didn't utter a word. Both of them just stayed there.
Leo now decided to ask first, "Who are you, and why were you in my visions of my past memories?"
Vultra also got shocked as he just told Leo, "I also wanted to ask the same question! Who the hell are you?"
The old monk now said, "I am the Yin. I am the Yang. Or just maybe, I am both. I am whatever you call it. I am a visionary. I am the origin. I am life or death itself. Does that answer your question?"
Leo just stayed there, confused, as he said, "What the f***? I don't get it! Why are you speaking in parables? I don't want that! I still ask again, who are you?"
The old monk now said, "As I told you before, I am the Yin. I am the Yang. Or just maybe, I am both."
Vultra now smirked as he said, "So it meant that you are the one that gave us the Yin and Yang power? That means you are the originator!"
The old monk smiled as he said, "Splendid! At least someone understands me here! Thank you for your wise thinking. You will be good as a monk."
Leo now replied, "Ewww."
The monk, still smiling, but his tone was dead serious, he now then replied, "Watch your mouth, boy!"
Leo was completely caught off guard, and he was scared as he shakingly replied, "Yes, madam! I meant sir!"
Vultra now thought, So even he too made Leo scared? Who the hell is this guy?
Then the monk now said, "I am the true Yin and Yang being. I am the representation of the Yin and Yang itself. All other powers that you know of were gotten from me. I was there. I personally oversaw the creation of this oniverse."
Leo, even though he played dumb, picked up something as he thought, "oniverse you say?" Then Leo now cut him short, "If you were there in the creation of this oniverse, does that mean that there are others out there? And there are others possibly higher than the Omni-beings? Is that what you're trying to say?"
The monk now replied to them both, "You see the Yin and Yang as a domain of power, but the one thing that you both didn't know is the Yin and Yang is the symbol of life itself. Let's say magic for example. Even though you use it to perform your daily duties, you didn't think twice to notice that you are actually using a little part of Yang itself. Know this, energy cannot be created or destroyed. It only changes form from one form to the other. The same goes for both the Yin and Yang. It was never created from the start. Even all the specific requirements needed for the creation of the oniverses was the domination of the Yin and Yang itself. Commonly, Yin is more plentiful than Yang because even in the void, Yin is found. Even in other dark places, Tartarus and others, Yin is also found there. But among the two, it is the most difficult to harness. Take an ice magic for example; it is more difficult to master than its other counterpart, fire. And also, even if Yang might seem rare, it's actually because it is more needed in the cycle of the oniverse. But that doesn't mean that Yin is fully left out. Even though the Yin is underrated, it actually has a great function to play. You see, the Yin is needed in the cycle of the oniverse, so it expels negative energy which is the Yin outside. It now, the Yin, becomes the outer protective layer of the oniverse as it protects the oniverse from any other harm that can harm it in any way. The Yin is a protective layer around the Yang, and also know this: in every Yang you see, there is a small part of Yin in it, while for every other Yin you see, there is a small part of Yang in it. Now then, are you both clear?"
Leo now said, "Emmm, old monk, or whatever you call yourself, I asked for an explanation, not some classroom lectures, so cut to the chase, alright?"
The old monk now said to him, "I already had my fair share of annoying persons, but I think most of all, you are second to the most annoying. How did you even turn this way? What happened to the well-mannered Leo I know and like?"
Leo's face turned sour as he said, "Oh, I'll tell you what! He changed! And what do you mean by 'like'? Men aren't supposed to like men! They are supposed to like women! Or are you gay?"
The monk's expression slowly started to furrow as he said, "Young men, they never learn! What the heck is wrong with both of you and your mentality? Alright, it seems that I have digressed a bit hearing your tantrums."
Leo visibly looked upset, "My tantrums, eh? Look at who is saying I'm throwing tantrums! You act like a baby!"
The monk now flicked his hand. A tape made of Yin energy moved straight towards Leo, and he couldn't dodge it, so his lips were taped. And the monk now laughed.
Leo spoke but in a very muffled tone, "Ehh, you motherf*****! When I get you, I will make sure you know what the f*** is happening!"
The monk now started, "I'll start by telling you my origin story. Long ago, in the early beginning of this oniverse, I was assigned by a being who I couldn't see or can stand against. He just told me three simple words: 'ordinate, protect, and destroy.' As he told me 'go,' I saw a long line of other beings that looked like me, or at least their energy seemed similar to me. I didn't know how I was created, but I just found myself in the presence of the unknown entity. Even I couldn't determine his powers. But I came to this oniverse. It was lifeless. There wasn't any other mortal. There were no gods, nothing. It was like the dimension of nothingness that you're in currently. It doesn't have any form or words to describe it. I looked at my two palms. In my left was the Yin energy, while in my right was the Yang energy. I didn't know what happened next. I seemed to just merge them together. Then immediately, it seemed like everything was white and black at the same time. A loud bang was created, and following up the bang, the oniverse seemed to take shape. What you called the Yin and Yang domain are actually the manifestation of the Yin and Yang powers. It showed up very brightly. It covered the entire oniverse. Then it started to spin till it merged. Immediately following it, the Yin and Yang went back into me again, and the oniverse's stars, blackholes, galaxies slowly started to form. In essence, the oniverse wasn't created by me. I was just merely a tool that played a part in the creation of the oniverse. After a while, I saw a being which seemed to be a baby at birth. It was born of the essence of the oniverse itself. It followed the cycle of the stars, planets, and blackholes that were forming. It seemed like it used their essence to nurture it until the baby opened its eyes. Immediately the oniverse itself seemed to be in submission of it. The baby now grew up superfast as it reached an adult in just 1 minute. The supposed baby now looked like a completely different person. The being now declared itself as the Originator. Then I extracted a bit of my powers and I bestowed it on him. He couldn't see me, but he sensed me, and he was grateful. I didn't do much; I just watched the cycle of life played out: the birth of the gods, the birth of other beings. Even I too was also shocked at the oniverse's pace. I looked from multiverses to oniverses. After the Originator disappeared, the Yin and Yang powers I gave to him returned to me, and so I began my quest in looking for the right beings who have the ability to carry the burden. You two weren't the first, but you will surely be the last."
Vultra who was listening patiently decided to speak up as he said, "I want to know the story of who came before us. I want to know the reason why you think they weren't worthy of the power."
The old monk just played with his absurdly long beard as he laughed. He now replied, "This type of keen interest is what I've been looking for in you both. So now I will now tell you the first person I met. But before that, Leo, I know that the attitude that you have been showing so far isn't what you wanted for yourself. I know that you have to man up to become what you want, so I won't tell you anything for now. Now then, I will start. But that, my friends, concludes the end of this chapter. I love you all, my hoeless fans, till we meet again, see you in the next chapter. Bye."
