[Lludd's POV]
'Aghh'
The pain, if it can even be called that at this point, is overwhelming. Every single nerve in my body screams in agony while my mind is at the melting point. My body is giving up, my soul is already half-shattered and my eternal legacy is at its limit but I refuse to give up.
It is said that for love a man can do crazy things. In the past, I thought those were only fairy tales but now, here I am, on the verge of death, pushing forward, never looking behind, just for her.
I don't know if I'll manage to do this. If I fail, in the best case scenario I might turn into a cripple and in the worst, my soul might get extinguished but so what? As long as I can destroy that whore's universe and make her feel the same pain that my beloved Aderdine felt when she watched that bitches' lackeys slaughtering her world in cold blood I'll be satisfied.
It is said that an eternian's power level is determined when they awaken and that it can't be changed in any way shape or form. At first, I was reluctant to believe it. I mean, I was young and stupid, filled with confidence that I could achieve far greater heights if I were to keep training but, in the end, I failed.
At one point I gave up. Then, later in my life, destiny brought me and Aderdine together. For her, the fire in my soul, that endless desire for power, was reignited.
But how could I do something that no one has managed in billions of years? How could I breakthrough beyond my limit? Back then I had no idea what to do but I kept searching for an answer until 20.000 years ago when I had a strange idea.
A normal being has a soul and a mortal body. Eternians are special because, at one point in time, they managed to use their life experiences, desires, dreams and ambitions to create a second soul.
This is also the reason why Eternians can't grow stronger. Souls can't be changed that easily. Once created, it forever remains almost the same.
But what if, and I'm just speculating here, you were to merge your eternal legacy with your soul? At the most basic level, they are extremely similar. So, in theory, at the very least, it should work.
As my energy rotates more and more, my soul and my eternal legacy are pushed closer and closer together.
'Just a little bit more!'
While clenching my teeth to the point where I can basically hear them shattering and with one final push the two finally touch.

[Kane's POV]
Unbelievable… I knew all along that he was a genius but, from the looks of it, I still underestimated him way too much.
He broke through… An Eternian broke through beyond his limit. Since times immemorial this is the first time something this ridiculous occurred.
As the torrent of power surrounding Lludd started finally dispersing my mind just goes blank. To be honest I don't know exactly what I expected but this was not it!
With each of his breaths, reality trembles slightly. In his immediate vicinity, the laws of the universe are being bent out of shape and time itself loses its meaning. This power… I know it too well!
This is the realm that only a Creation God could ever achieve. And still… There he is… An Eternian with the power of the weakest True Creating God.
Even though he is the weakest of all Creation level existences out there it shouldn't be forgotten that he is still an Eternian and not a God. This means that, as per the Supreme Goddesses' Eea will, he is actually allowed to fight. To put it bluntly, as of now, Lludd is the strongest being in the universe. And I'm his master.
"Kane, let's go!" [Lludd]
"Hm? What's the rush? You just achieved something beyond ridiculous! You must rest and we should celebrate!" [Kane]
"No, I can't wait anymore! My hands are itching! I want to show to that whore what terror truly looks like!" [Lludd]
Whore… He must refer to rank 9, the Silver Wolf Goddess Eira… I see… But this is an opportunity! What better way to show the universe the power of my dear disciple than to crush one of the Ten Supreme Ones!
"Very well! Let the flames of war awaken one more!"
….....
It has been over 50.000 years since Lludd achieved his breakthrough. The news about an Eternian with the power of a Creating God has already spread all over the multi-verse. Ten thousand years ago I've been officially crowned as the strongest Creation God.
Rank One, Kane of Blue Steel!
It surely has a nice tonality to it, doesn't it?
As for the former rank 9, now rank 10, Silver Wolf Goddess Eira, when she realized that her universe was in danger she holed up beyond a defensive formation not daring to face us directly. Still, it doesn't matter. Soon enough the last shield shall fall and then Lludd can finally have his revenge.
'Swish'
'Hmm? What is this?'
In front of me, a small orb of light appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Taking a second look, spatial and temporal distortions can be seen. From the looks of it, whoever sent this, really wanted to make sure that no one else, away from the one who it was intended for, sees it.
The moment my hand touches the orb of light, my mind is filled with countless images. Memories…
…
"What.."
"The…"
"Fuck!?!"
This is… What the hell is this?! How can something like this even exist? My mind went blank. The content of that message is so ridiculous that it shouldn't even exist…
Still, I don't know why but I have the feeling that everything I've seen might actually be true.
Until now I thought that Lludd's breakthrough might have been the greatest event to have ever occurred since the beginning of time.
As of this moment, I realize that, compared with the contest of that message, Lludd is not even worth being mentioned.
Silver Wolf Goddess Eira, I always thought you were an arrogant retard but now I realize just how stupid you truly are…
Allowing such a monster to grow in your universe is truly… Ridiculous!
