Moments after Sin had passed, the world of Desolate Kingdom for the first time in its creation rained. The raindrops fell to the ground as they mixed with the blood, the universe mourned the loss of a single individual. Under some miraculous intervention, Sin had regained vision. He could see everything going on, Commander Glaze, the brothers and sisters of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team desperately fighting. Samaras' emotions were running out of control, she was switching back and forth between her human and beast form, licking his cheek and hugging onto his corpse. Alannah was killing madly like a goddess of death, blood tears were rolling down her face. Meralas body was riddled with wounds.
but the MOST important of all, in his death, Sin felt the surge of a newborn bloodline calling him from within Meralas very being. Was that the despair of his own bloodline not meeting their originator?
Sins soul raged and crashed, Sins body was dead but his soul was trapped. He was witnessing all of his friends, loved ones, and allies get cut down, Merala was nearing her death, Alannah a mere 5 year old had claimed millions of lives alone. Hundreds of generals had her surrounded in a tight sealed formation, she was crazily muttering "papa" under her breath as she had lost her sanity from losing her beloved papa.
Sins' very soul was being ripped apart, the desperation, hopelessness, fury, bitter pain he was feeling had all been raging uncontrolled, and then his struggles were answered.
A man appeared in front of his corpse. He had long blood red hair, his entire body was the colour of scarlet. He wore blood red armour, Sin could feel the unimaginable number of lives this man had claimed. He stabbed his Sword through the ground right in front of Sins' corpse. Then a thick murderous, demonic and unholy voice unfitting his still human looks was heard by Sins soul.
"You now have a choice to make. Do you watch as your family and loved ones all die? Or do you defy your death, becoming someone who kills because you lost your sanity? Or do you become the complete version of who I once was with emotions, sanity, a heart and soul?"
Sins rage was burning, his fury was overtaking all of his thoughts. Kill them all! Kill all of those who harmed my loved ones!
The Sword in front of Sins corpse had begun reacting to Sins negative emotions. With the man's control, the killing intent and malicious aura that billowed out of his own Sword was unaware to everyone else. The aura began seeping through Sins nostrils, eyes, mouth, ears. Then it formed a thick billowing over top Sin, it swirled as it formed a cyclone piercing into Sins soul form.
Within Sins heart world, the blood stained Sword reacted as the figure of a teenage girl shot out. She appeared as she looked longingly at the figure of the man in front of Sin. Her choked voice sounded out.
"Father!"
The man looked at the spirit of his own daughter. He raised his arm out, and with his hand he stroked her face lovingly. "My beautiful Sasha, I have done many horrible acts after losing your mother. But I guess somewhere in this vast realm, the karma I sowed before becoming the Shura has given me a chance to see my beautiful daughter again."
Just as Sasha went to go and hug Kelluminatis being. He formed a barrier separating the both of them, his regretful and sorrow filled voice sounded out. "I wish it was that simple sweety. If you don't want to become like those hateful souls trapped within my body, I would advise you not to step any closer towards me."
Kelluminati spoke again not giving Sasha a chance. "I have done what I was brought back for. The rest is up to this young man, make sure you guide him well Sasha. Do not let him become like your father once was." Kelluminatis figure became millions of light particles as he had finally passed his way through death without any interruptions.
Sasha cried and wailed as she tucked herself into a ball. "Why does this universe have to be so cruel, I lost both mother and father! I am nothing but a goddamn spirit who is trapped within her own father's weapon!"
Sin was forced to watch the fight that was being undertaken, no matter how hard he tried to look away he couldn't. He watched as all the members of the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team died, Commander Glaze hugged an enemy General and ignited. Sin could hear the far away distance of Seraphims anguish.
Alannah had killed all the enemy Generals that surrounded her, but she had become exhausted using her Godhood for so long. She was attacked without any defense and was sent barreling into the ground, her body crashed fifty feet away from Sins corpse with weapons pierced through her back. Sin helplessly watched as his injured little princess crawled towards him with a look of pain on her face.
Alannah banged her head in front of Sins corpse multiple times, Sins soul heard what she said and it made his nonexistent heart shatter into millions of pieces. "I'm sorry papa! If only I wasn't so scared of revealing my origins, I could have saved you. We could be a happy family with mom, Samara and Jasmine. Now you're dead, my one and only papa who loved me so much!"
Sin desperately yelled, he bellowed as loud as he could but no voice could make its way out. An enemy was in mid swing about to slash Alannah into two halves. Just as Alannah was about to be cut in half, Jasmine appeared at the last minute shielding Alannah with her own body.
Sin despaired as Jasmine's blood sprayed over his corpse and Alannah. Jasmine grit her teeth as she made her last effort kicking the man in the balls, then slit his throat with her dagger.
Jasmine fell backwards in exhaustion, she fought as hard as she could and claimed many enemy lives. Now she could rest knowing she protected her little sister.
"Big sister!" Alannah cried out as she watched Jasmine weakly breathing. Jasmine raised her hand as she caressed Alannahas face. "Be a good girl and bring your papa's body somewhere safe. Big sister is going to rest for a while before I catch up."
Alannah begged and pleaded. "No big sister you can't rest, you have to come with us!"
Jasmine smiled one last time and said. "Make sure you live well for the both of us." Jasmine's eyes grew heavy and closed as her life slipped away.
The thick red cloud around Sins soul rocked. Thunder boomed within, Sin was now forcefully absorbing all of the baleful aura. His soul shocked nearly being devoured, but he wasn't giving in, if his family was suffering how could he not? Jasmine just died in front of his eyes. His little sister died protecting his daughter when he couldn't do it!
Alannah cried when she weakly stood up, then picked Sins 190 pound body up and rested it spread out across her shoulders, Samara got control of herself and changed back to human form, and helped Alannah carry their papas body. The warriors of the Vermilion Bird Clan guarded Alannah and Samara to the best of their capabilities. This little girl had brought so much joy to everyone's life, despite her mischievous and shit disturber like personality. Their bodies fell like dead flies, Alannah and Samara had fallen many times, but they always found the will to continue on. Their papas body was most important to them.
Sins soul was on the brink of being extinguished by the Shuras killing intent. The more people he watched die, the more helpless and despair he felt. Sins eyes had become blood red, and the baleful aura wrapped around his soul. Sin had begun the process of becoming a Shura.
Solarus watched all of this happening with a smile on his face. Victory was in sight, after the capital city fell here. He and his forces would move onto wiping out all life throughout the Desolate Kingdom, rebuilding this world up from scratch with his own fanatic followers.
Seeing as Alannah and Samara were now alone, and nearing the end of the 'finish line' Solarus decided now was the perfect time to crush that last string of hope completely.
Solarus flashed and he reappeared in front of Alannah. "A complete High God Godhood is wasted on a little brat like you. I will rip your body apart inch by inch and absorb your Immortal Soul!"
Merala winked out of existence and reappeared behind Solarus immediately after he arrived. Nine massive flaming swords of fire appeared behind her, they sparked with currents of red lightning. Merala had activated her berserk status and her essence blood.
"GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTERS!"
Merala slashed down with all her might. Solarus quickly reacted that however, was not enough to fend off a momma bear protecting her cubs. Merala went on an absolute rampage using everything she had in her arsenal.
[Blood Dragons Sky Path: Double Dragon Twister!]
[Illusionary Sword Second Stage: Void Breaker!]
[Immolating Boundary!]
[Nine Heart Phoenix Blades!]
[Karmic Annihilation!]
Each strike landed harder than the previous, Solarus had taken each hit with a face full of glee. "Come on girl come at me with all you got. If you don't, I will split your daughters bodies in half before your very eyes!"
Solarus slashed out his weapon, sending Merala skidding backwards. Merala plunged her Sword into the earth and stopped herself after 20 meters. She had just barely stopped herself from knocking into Alannah from a full output strike.
Sin went berserk, slight traces of blood red aura began emitting from his body. Sins body began heating up as his soul's fury burned through all limitations. The bloodline calling for Sin had increased the closer his corpse was to Merala. Sins soul despite being nearly consumed, saw the future of a little girl who was his and Meralas own bloodline and love.
Alannah who was exhausted had missed these subtle changes, she was frightened, staring at her mom's weak condition.
"ALANNAH GET YOUR LITTLE ASS MOVING NOW!" Meralas fury erupted the more she saw her husband's corpse.
"But mo-"
"THERE IS NO TIME FOR ARGUMENTS NOW GET GOING ALREADY!" Merala flashed forward, as a symphony of 'Klang klang klang kling dang shing' echoed out in perfect order. Merala was currently able to keep up with Solarus, but her physical condition was worsening with each clash. After fighting so hard before and getting all her injuries. Merala was quickly becoming an arrow at the end of its flight.
Alannah had felt an odd wave of power surge through her body. She remembered the King who had once gifted her his sword when she was admiring it. She remembered her papa had built a decent connection, so she told directions to Samara as they ran at top speed and quickly arrived at the palace.
Sin had regained clarity but the process was only half done, he was howling with all his might for Merala. But again, no matter how much effort there was nothing he could do.
Fifteen minutes passed, Merala was blown back and smashed through a nearby palace. Alannah and Samara quickly ran over calling out "Mom!"
Samara jumped down and began healing Merala with all her might, but it was not enough. Solarus appeared moments later.
"What a nice family this is here. I almost feel bad for breaking it up, but I can assure all of you will die together and join that pathetic man very soon."
Solarus then pointed his index finger at Alannah. "Except for her, that child's Immortal Soul I will be taking with me. Man I really am a liar after all huh?"
Solarus flashed forward, and Merala moved at the same time. Solarus' hand ripped through Merala's right breast. Merala gritted her teeth as she pushed her body forward and bear hugged Solarus. Merala diverted her Mana, sending Alannah and Samara out of the palace and into the streets below. Merala's entire body glowed a golden red colour as she ignited her cultivation base, her aura exploded as a massive ball of flaming energy devoured the palace and surrounding 5 kilometers around.
After the dust storm had settled down. Merala was hanging in mid air and plummeted downwards, she had sacrificed everything in one last attempt to avenge her husband, and protect her children. Steam was billowing off of her body, and Meralas life force was nearing the end of its lit fuse.
Solarus came back in view looking like he was in pristine condition. He looked at Merala with moderate surprise, but that was it.
"Decisive to do what you must for your children. Know that you did your best, but it wasn't enough to stop me."
Solarus walked towards Alannah, his incomplete God Hood exploded as he walked forward with a look full of mad craving. Merala watched on as she struggled to move her body. Alannah stood in front of Samara with her arms spread out.
"You're a bad man! Why must you hurt my papa and mom!?"
"Your papa did it to himself, your mom made the sacrifice. How's that got anything to do with me?"
Samara stared hatefully, Solarus caught sight of it and he vanished. Alannah activated Mystic Unity but the moment she did so, her body became heavy as she drained what was remaining within her.
Solarus grabbed Samara by the throat and then smashed her into the ground. "I don't like that look in your eyes girl, fix it unless you want to die!"
Samara did as she had watched her dad once do.
"Harrrrk phew!" Samara horked a bloody loogie into Solarus' face.
Solarus wiped the loogie off as his face darkened and his rage blew out. Withdrawing his weapon, Solarus slashed down aiming to kill Samsara. Merala found her last and final spurt as she appeared last moment in front of Samara. The blade cut through Merala cleaving her body into two halves. Meralas blood splattered all over the two young girls and Sins corpse.
Alannah and Samara cried out sorrowfully. "MOM!!!!!"
At this moment a deep and powerful "Thud thud thud rumble boom!" was heard. All the blood in the capital city was like it had a mind of its own. It began raising from the ground and rushed out in a massive wave answering its sudden calling.
Alannah felt the rising temperature of Sins body on her shoulders. After that she felt the weight disappear fully. What she saw next made her widen her eyes. Sin had moved so fast, even with her Godhood forcefully activated she missed every moment. Solarus had been punched out so hard he was sent spiraling backwards over 200 miles in an instant.
A massive blue-white blood red column of aura blasted out of Sins body. It shot through the sky, tearing through the boundary of Desolate Kingdom and out into the vast universe. A massive killing intent billowed out, all the remaining soldiers of Solarus' army in the universe dropped down to their knees with their heads resting on Mana platforms uncontrollably.
Alannah could feel true agony, despair, hatred, hopelessness and hear Sins inner self blaming from within the column of energy. Alannah was stunned, she knew it was her papa but she was now becoming fearful of him. It was an instinctual feeling of when a predator of a higher race rating was standing right before you.
Sin roared out and its shockwaves traveled across the entirety of Desolate Kingdom, all the way from his continent to the thousands of other continents.
"MERALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Within the column of energy, two blood red eyes opened up as tears of blood flowed down them.
"MERALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sin cried out many times over.
Fifteen minutes passed the entire time during. Sins aura was skyrocketing, Solarus who had his entire set of Refinement Armour shattered, returned with a look of fear at the once 'dead' man before him. Solarus could tell Sin held back all of his strength, if he hadn't Solarus would've been blasted to pieces from that one punch alone. Leaving him with a complete body, but shattering his Refinement Armour was tantamount of Sin showing to Solarus, he was no longer Sins equal.
The aura column disappeared, His incomplete Refinement Armour had completed its evolution. Now however, instead of it's white-blue colour. It was completely blood red, there were mountains of corpses engraved on his Refinement armour. You could hear the wails of tortured souls, Sins aura had completely changed to one of pure savage and prehistoric rage.
Sin's figure was revealed as his hair had turned crimson red, Sin was holding the 2 separate pieces of Meralas body. He looked down at her stomach, the bloodline calling he felt was no longer there. His entire body trembled, his aura blasted out until everyone still alive within 1,500 kilometers unwillingly kneeled to the ground, with their heads placed on the earth below it. This was all except for Alannah and Samara.
Alannah weakly called out with hard to hide fear in her voice. "Papa... is that you?"
Sin turned his head backwards, all Alannah could see was blood tears rolling down from his scarlet eyes. Sin was no longer the papa Alannah knew so well and loved. Alannah had backed away, and held her arms spread out in front of Samara.
Sin watched all of this, he flashed away and then reappeared seconds later with Jasmine's body. He put both bodies into his Soul Container, and both their lingering souls had been split into a separate dimension within, his now ruthless cold blooded voice sounded out.
"Alannah within this retains the bodies and souls of your mom and big sister. This separate formation is a surprise from papa to the both of you. Now the both of you have to get as far away from here as you can, the further the better I can only control myself for so long before my rage takes control of me!"
Alannah and Samara watched their papa with unwilling eyes. Both had asked their greatest wish together
"Can papa give us a hug?"
Sin slowly walked over so as not to scare his two daughters. He knelt down on both knees and hugged his girls into his embrace.
"Papa is sorry he was a bad man. He couldn't protect your mother, nor could he protect his precious little girls."
Alannah and Samara had no more tears to cry. They just hugged their papa as hard as they could.
Sin kissed both his girls. "Now get going and return to the Wolf God Clan my little princesses. Papa will no longer be able to fight if I am worrying about the both of you in the back of my mind." Sin believed with his, Meralas and Samaras travel to the capital city, Samara would have no problem guiding Alannah back to the Wolf God Clan.
Alannah and Samara unwillingly let go of their papa. But considering their papas warning, and feeling Sins worry for them, both of sisters left the capital city hand in hand. When they were away far enough, they had climbed up a mountain before falling down on their backs exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally. They laid side by side not willing to let go of each other.
Unknown to them, today was the last day their papa was going to be in this part of the universe all together. They would be left alone, albeit the Wolf God Clan, Phoenix Heart and Vermilion Bird Clan would become their parents in replace of Merala and Sin.
