Fusion was finally complete Zagaroth, who was assisting Dominus from the side, made an instantaneous jump and pierced the temporary separate realm trying to establish a connection with it.
The attempts were already in the tens of thousands, but finally, Zagaroth managed to reach it safely, but it didn't mean that from now on, he would be able to do it all the time. Every time he failed the consequent steps, he would have to try more and more, again and again.
The moment Zagaroth established a connection feeling of omnipotence assaulted his senses. He realized that hear, even for a second, he could create anything.
Zagaroth enlarged himself thousands of times over, opened his enormous mouth, and spewed the 'blood island' out, severing his connection with it, then came the most crucial step granting the most essential innate supreme divine abilities, not one, but two and maybe more.
Zagaroth collected his thoughts and gave the undisputed command" I grant this island innate supreme divine ability 'Soul seizure,' 'Soul storer,'' Soul control,'' Soul space,'' Soul dominion,'' Soul trampler,'' Soul madness.'"
Zagaroth had no idea if it worked, but he felt that he was omnipotent hear no laws restricted him.
That one precious second was already gone. Dominus pulled him out.
If getting into that place was hard, then getting out of there was even harder. It took them several million attempts every time to pull out, constant failures, and repetitions.
Zagaroth was not affected that much yet, but Dominus was already getting mentally drained. Even the craziest gamer couldn't play something thousands of times to win, but Dominus did it countless times.
"Father, I can't take this any longer. I need to rest. I am sorry!"Kevin was the first one who stopped helping him, which in return caused another failure, communication not related to the point distracted Dominus, and world toppling explosion took his life.

Kevin was about to say his words when Dominus roared," children don't speak. If you can't go on, just sleep. The more I get distracted, the more we die."
*,erase*
Dominus was already descending into the madness. His helpers would soon be gone, so he decided, every time they succeeded at something, he would make it permanent and go from that point. Now there truly was no turning back. Even the purest eternal God's energy couldn't protect and teleport him away.
Breath of death came closer, but at least it was easier to go on.
Zagaroth once again granted the island innate supreme divine abilities. Dominus dragged him out successfully and charged in himself. The ring on his right hand flashed, and a staggering amount of energy with Zagaroths manipulation began to pour into the center point of the fusion node, time that they estimated, must be extended to ten seconds.
The energy in the ring began to deplete at a crazy speed, previously no matter what dominus did, even when heavily diluted to fit this world, it only decreased by a small margin, but now from 85% to 65% instantly, and that was only the beginning.
Dominus appeared in that separated realm, here he felt unprecedented power. Two hammers manifested in his hands, which he struck at the island, completely shattering it.
Dominus accelerated and began to strike with the speed of light. All the soil, minerals, everything else was getting transformed and shrunken.
Soon the 'blood island' that was thousands of kilometers long in its full glory shrunk to only two meters, then it decreased some more.
Dominus was hammering from every side, condensing and forcefully fusing everything. Finally, in the end, only an oval-shaped floating object was left.
At this point, dominus had 2 seconds left, Priscilla, David, Lika, Kevin could no longer assist him, Zagaroth was maintaining the separate realm outside.
Dominus raized his dual hammers. One was pitch black with red patterns, the other white with red patterns it flashed, and Dominus hammered from both sides, completely smashing the oval-shaped object into bits.
He discarded the hammers and charged straight into the mass of energy that was about to explode.
The only reason his children were unable to find a way to succeed was that dominus hid certain paths for them to take, which led to an impossible outcome, but who was dominus? He was above destiny! There was no path he could not forge, especially when he had tools to work with; only the consequences were tremendous.
Dominus coated his hands with complete undiluted energy and placed his right hand on his forehead, the left hand straight into the exploding energy.
Dominus pierced his consciousness and reached his soul cutting 30% of it with absolute ruthlessness. Blood began to leak from every part of his body; his pupils went completely red like devils.
Dominus dragged the severed 30% of his soul and shoveled it into the mass of condensed energy, while his left hand firmly controlled it not to explode.
Dominus was assaulted with such horrifying pain that he directly died from it.
A mortal, trying to split his soul by such margin that was absolute madness.
*,erase*
Domnius began the battle with death itself, even though he should be omnipotent at this realm, his powers were concentrated in his hands to hold the colossal energy from the ring, previously it was Zagaroth who would help him in its usage and dilution, but here he was alone.
After tens of millions of deaths, dominus finally found the resolve to withstand the separation. At this point, he was utterly spent mentally, his consciousness was relapsing into a coma, but he was still holding onto his soul.
Dominus roared and fused the energy and the soul. At this point, his left hand began to burn with a terrifying speed. It went up to his elbow, shoulder, and even one-third of his face.
Dominus wanted to scream, but he knew he couldn't be distracted at this moment; he finally, after many tries, managed to shove the already completely condensed energy into his consciousness.
His left-hand completely disintegrated, there was nothing left, time was up seeing this, Dominus with his last shred of consciousness, willed his body to charge out.
Zagaroth, who watched all this, roared mightily and enlarged the node for dominus who managed to come out.
Zagaroths job was not done. The separate realm that should have never existed, not even for a fraction of a second, remained in this world for 11 seconds. Once it disappeared, Zagaroth condensed the energy in front of him and shoved it into dominus's consciousness, after which he entered without hesitation.
The creation would be finished in Dominus's consciousness.
Dominus's soul and two different energies began to fuse with dominus's will and Zagaroths supervision. After exactly a week, the creation took its first form. It was in a gaseous state constantly revolving with thousands of colors and flashes of different lights.
Zagaroth came out of Dominus' consciousness and took his battered body teleporting away. At this point, the whole secret chamber was destroyed. Nothing was left.
Two days later, Kevin was the first one to wake up, than the others followed suit.
"When they swam around in Dominus's consciousness in their soul forms, they saw the gaseous energy revolving and moving around.
Mortals on earth previously had no proof that soul existed, but Dominus confirmed its existence to them, then he explained where it was and what it depended on.
Just because Dominus's children were swimming in his consciousness, it didn't mean that he to could swim and control his soul there, no, that at his stage was only possible because he was omnipotent in that realm. His children were an exception. They initially were created in soul forms because dominus sacrificed 1% of his soul for them. They had no physical body, so there was no consciousness of there own, not yet, that's why they could move there, but not dominus.
The consciousness of Dominus was so staggering in size that it would frighten any god to death if he saw one. Even if Dominus had no soul cultivation technique and couldn't advance and evolve as it should, his soul foundation was even stronger than any god, because of experiencing countless years of life. If shown, it would frighten dead god into death again, that's if someone informed him of it in the afterlife.
Dominus's children circled the gaseous form for some time, and when they were satisfied, they looked outside to see the most horrifying sight in their lives.
Dominus's left hand was gone completely. There was nothing in that area, part of his neck, shoulder cavity, and one-third of his face was burned, and it wasn't your usual human burn mark. Some kind of energy was moving on his burnt skin, making it look alive and menacing.
"Uncle Zagaroth, were are you help father, help him."Lika began to sob.
Zagaroth, who was resting on Dominus's chest, sent his will into his consciousness and appeared beside his nieces and sad in sadness. "its impossible to help him. There is no way to restore his lost arm or his face, we were lucky he succeeded. this outcome is already heaven-defying, but there's a problem even worse, he permanently lost 30% of his soul, now his soul will forever be incomplete."
"Previously he already sacrificed 4% for you, children and 1% for data world and world AI, now he has 65% left, that's bad! Fortunately, with his abilities, that's not a big problem, and even better is that as planned, that creation is completely under his control as for the bad news, it's not finished yet!"
"Unfinished, how can it be possible, uncle Zagaroth we already investigated what father did after we went to sleep the myriad creation should be complete," David said with certainty.
"Zagaroth looked at the gaseous multi-colored all revolving object and said," it can't be used until it develops consciousness of its own and will be granted a living soul by chaos, just like you four were granted one.
"If in your cases, it was easy, this myriad creation is different. Dominus gave it 30% of his soul. It has a countless amount of memories but needs to develop new personality and life, we need a catalyst, probably food and more, hehe."
Zagaroth suddenly felt blood in his body boiling from devilish excitement because he knew what this myriad creation needed, and dominus would hold nothing back to provide it with that.
Sacrificing so much for failure, in the end, was unacceptable. This was probably just the beginning of the journey toward saving humanity, and dominus would not stop.
When Dominus opened his eyes, he felt stinging pain assault his senses. It made his body spasm all around, which made him jump straight up, then fall.
Priscilla's concerned voice reverberated in Dominus's head," father are you alright? Calm down. We are trying to soothe your consciousness, don't move. Maybe that way, your soul will feel less pain.
Dominus tried to scratch his head with his left hand. When he couldn't do it, he gasped, he looked around and saw that his hand was gone," Oh right, I got punished at the end, it means my face," he tried to caress his face with his right hand, but only felt pain when he touched it, ouch, forget it, I will fix it later."
Zagaroth, who was patiently looking at Dominus, informed him that it was impossible to do anything about his injury. It was permanent.
Hearing Zagaroths words, Dominus thought he misheard and tried to use the ring's energy to heal himself, but what he saw made him choke. The ring had 4% remaining out of 85% he had previously, but even worse, he couldn't heal himself.
Dominus tried several other methods that he developed for disabled people of humanity, but nothing worked. Finally, he accepted that he was the only disfigured human out of every living human.
When this realization struck, Dominus began to laugh.
"Why are you laughing father, there's always a path," said Lika.
"Yes, father, don't worry, you're still handsome," Priscilla chimed in. She thought that Dominus was so upset that he began to laugh from sadness, so she tried to console him.
Hearing his children trying to calm him down, Dominus laughed even more and said," its ok, children. I am laughing because now one-third of me is ugly and represents the ugliness in my soul while the rest should represent the kindness, doesn't it, two-thirds, I accept such odds, haha."
Dominus didn't even look at himself, but he knew it probably was not a pleasant sight.
Dominus couldn't wantonly enter his consciousness, so he had to ask his children and Zagaroth what the situation was.
Kevin informed him about everything. Hearing him and than Zagaroths explanation Dominus knew there was a long road ahead. The creation was not complete, but at least he felt an indescribable connection with myriad creation. It would not escape his control; as long as that was the case, everything was worth it, even losing his backbone, godly amount of energy, and being disfigured, all these outcomes were acceptable.
Dominus scratched his chin and looked around," oh, Zagaroth brought me in my office. I hope no one knows I am here!"
"Zagaroth, you brought me here secretly, right?"
Zagaroth confirmed with a nod.
"How long has it been, world AI, inform me!" Dominus commanded.
A familiar voice appeared in his head," master, its been 14 days, and our estimations were slightly incorrect because I went all out, approximately 345800 humans died. I couldn't prevent more deaths. I am sorry."
"Humans are riled up. They have questions, countless people are asking me what's happening, and have I malfunctioned or not."
"We responded as fast as we could, but certain people, the unlucky ones evolved into terrifyingly fast monsters in urban areas, which caused too many deaths, but even this monsters were not the cause of our loses, overall humans just died to accidents happening all around the solar system, car accidents, human accidents, stupid risk-takers that didn't listen to me, because I couldn't give them what they wanted correctly, but most of all involvement of luck, fate, and karma they took the most lives.
"Sometimes a random person would walk around, and something would drop on his head, killing him, or something impossible to calculate would occur at certain intervals that made no sense, which would accidentally kill more humans, I had no power to obstruct such things. Worse even on other planets in the solar system, even more, bizarre things took place that killed more humans."
"I did everything I could to minimize the losses, but things are going more and more out of control. Its good master is back and well, even though you look little menacing now."
Hearing world AI's explanation, Dominus felt indescribable sadness, he wasn't this saddened when his face got burnt, or his soul lost 30%, for him losing this many lives to unnatural causes which were simply because of the natural selection of the universe and the life itself, to him that was hard to accept.
"Ai, please send me all the names of those who died. I want to engrave memories of these pure souls in my mind forever."
World AI sent him all the information, and after thousands of hours, he knew everything about there deaths, causes, and reasons.
Inside Dominus's hand, an incense appeared. He lit it and prayed for there souls," I hope you all safely reach the afterlife. I wasn't with you guys in death, and I am sorry I will try to keep the rest of the humans alive. I hope you all don't hold a grudge or resentment towards me when I guided and helped you all in your lives. I did it from the bottom of my heart, some of you died instantly without realizing anything, but some of you felt pain, sorrow, and despair, I too felt it with you all."
Zagaroth, hearing Dominus's words, didn't say anything, but he sighed with schadenfreude even to this day he couldn't believe someone like dominus who relished in carnage and lived for destruction, instead of living such life, lived in a way that defied common sense completely, this turned the world upside down, but he too was crazy because at this moment he was also holding a candle and praying for the dead with dominus, "we are mad I swear." he thought, but continued to verbally express his prayers and condolences with his heavy and saddened voice.
His prayers also came from the bottom of his heart.
