In a mountainous area, a man in black robes with dreadlocks and facial hair covering his entire face could be seen kneeling with his arms stretched sideways, large shackles could be seen on both his wrists with huge red glowing chains connecting to them. Looking from above, those huge chains penetrated several mountains then dove into the ground before reappearing and penetrated several mountains again.
If the man wanted to escape, he would have to snap the chains or lift the mountains. The skies were dark and starless.
The only sources of light were some red, blue, and green lines visibly glowing in the sky.
The man suddenly opened his eyes. He looked into the distance with murderous intent brimming from his eyes.
"Five hundred thousand years.... hehehe!" The man spoke slowly with a self-ridiculing laugh, "Calicrum you really outdid yourself, imprisoning me in the diminishing void, binding me with the source draining shackles, using the Borila cocoon to drain my powers and making Yemoja turn against me..."
When he finally got to the last sentence a visible look of pain could be seen on his face. "What a fool I was to think she loved me.... Hahaha!" He laughed with self-ridicule.
The silhouette of a man could be seen in the distance where he was staring. "I didn't make anyone turn against you. It was obvious that the celestials have always been wary of you. You must have been foolish since you never noticed this. Do I need to explain the same thing all over again?... and Yemoja... Tsk! Tsk! It was pretty easy." The voice of the man could be heard from the distance.
The man with dreadlocks had a self-ridiculing smirk on his face. How could he not have known that the celestials were wary of him right from his ascension to becoming the god king.
He knew they didn't have the strength to go against him, which was why he never bothered to concern himself, but how would he know that his very own disciple, Calicrum, would betray him?
"I am willing to give you another chance to release me! I promise to leave your corpse intact and grant you a swift death! Unlike what I have planned for the others." The man with dreadlocks smirked while proposing. "Hahahaha. Alusec, you fool, do you still believe that you can escape from here! Look around! It has been five hundred thousand years and you're still imprisoned in the diminishing void!" Calicrum laughed at Alusec dillusional ultimatum.
"The others would have preferred to slay you if that were possible! I only came to pay homage to you, Master, since it's the anniversary union of Yemoja and me!" Calicrum had a look of delight as he spoke.
"It is also your five hundred-thousand-year anniversary of being in seclusion. I have ruled the Celestial Realm for more than four hundred thousand years now! This warrants a celebration don't you think?" Calicrum asked sarcastically.
"Enjoy it while it lasts!" Alusec replied with a firm look.
"Oh, lest I forget, my first son is now an omega level being at the age of only two hundred! He almost broke your record. Though I am sure my second son will be able to break your record," Calicrum said with pride written all over his face.
"Enough with the chit chat and just get out of here, your entire existence disgusts me," Alusec replied while spitting on the ground in disgust.
"Oh, come on sensei, are you really that keen on driving me away? You may not get to talk to anyone else for the next... let's say... two hundred to three hundred thousand years, give or take. I wouldn't want my sensei to get bored to death," Calicrum words were laced with ridicule as he strolled through the paths between two mountains.
"Talking to you is no different from talking to a dead person!" Alusec replied with hidden meanings.
"Hahahaha, keep deluding yourself. In the whole of the universe, only five gods can stand on the same ground as me in terms of power. And that is only for the time being," Calicrum stated with a look of pride. "But since you want me gone, I shall grant your wish and leave. I'm sure you'll be missing me very soon. I'll send your regards to Yemoja." With a snap of his fingers Calicrum vanished while his last words were still lingering in the air.
"Laugh while you can! Enjoy your last days of peace! What comes next will be total annihilation for every one of you who betrayed me!" Alusec spoke solemnly while closing his eyes.
His breathing became very steady almost like he was asleep.
The chains connecting through mountains and ground rattled from time to time.
After what seemed like several hours, Alusec opened his eyes once again.
"It's time," he spoke while staring at the ground.
"Hyyaa!"
He screamed with his eyes glowing a crimson color. The ground started trembling causing a minor land quake.
The chains on his hands started rattling with intensity. From above it could be seen that the chains penetrating both mountains and ground started pulling out at a very fast rate. Shing! Shing! Shing!
Sounds could be heard as the chains kept pulling out of the mountains and the ground until it reversed completely into the shackles. Clang!
The shackles opened and fell to the ground.
"Finally free! Those idiots never knew that using these chains to draw out the rest of my powers means giving me the chance to input my consciousness into the source draining shackles! It was a cumbersome task, but I was finally able to input enough of my consciousness to control the chains after five hundred thousand years!" Alusec spoke while standing as his eyes went back to normal. He looked down at the crack that the shackles created when they fell on the ground, which proved how heavy they were.
"These will be useful." Alusec picked up the shackles like they weighed nothing and they both disappeared.
"Looks like I can still use my space source," Alusec said while staring at his hands.
A blue glow coated the tip of his fingers. Snap!
The shackles appeared after he snapped his fingers. He snapped his fingers again and they disappeared.
"Now that I'm no longer bound, my powers seem to be recovering, I should be able to use about a millionth of my original strength right now," Alusec said while staring at the sky. "The guardian of the void should be aware of my freedom by now, but why isn't he doing anything about it?" Alusec wondered.
"Maybe he thinks that I can't escape... Hehehe! Challenge accepted," Alusec spoke while bending his knees as if he wanted to run, and then..... Boooomm! A sonic boom resounded in the whole area as he flew up with tremendous speed into the sky.
Bang!
Just as he got to a particular height in the sky, he collided with an invisible barrier and the impact sent him tumbling back down.
Slam!
"Ouch! That hurt," Alusec said while rubbing the butt he landed on. He stood back up, dusted his robe, and smirked while looking at the sky.
Booomm!
He flew up into the sky with a much faster speed this time, his robes, flapping in the wind, could be heard with his dreads swimming in the air.
He tightened his right hand into a fist, pulled it back, and thew it forward with force.
"Space Domination!" He shouted out as a white wavy like energy appeared around his fist.
Bang!
This time was even louder than before, as there was a huge crack in the sky.
Craacckk!
Alusec floated close to the crack and punched out again.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
He threw out six consecutive punches as the cracks in the sky kept increasing. He raised his left fist to throw another punch again when a voice was heard.
"Lord Alusec, please wait!" A loud voice resounded in the space. Alusec smiled and replied, "I was wondering when you were gonna speak up! I thought you were just going to watch and let me damage the void. Even though I cannot destroy it with my current power, I can still do a lot of damage."
"Lord Alusec, please! Any more damage and my powers will decrease drastically! If you wish to leave, I will open a gateway for you to cross," the voice spoke once again.
"Now you're talking, where will this gateway lead to?" Alusec asked the voice.
"Somewhere close to Aritil," the voice answered.
"It is too far from Kondoor. Let the gateway be closer to Kondoor or let it lead to Kondoor!" Alusec demanded.
"But my Lord, Kondoor is too far from here! It is billions of light years away. If I were to open a gateway to somewhere that far, your body, as it is, will not be able to endure the space turbulence! You will be ripped to shreds before you arrive at the other side!" The voice warned with caution.
"Do you hear me complaining?" Alusec replied.
The voice had no response.
"Open the gateway now!" Alusec commanded. "Yes, my Lord," the voice replied with a tone of helplessness.
Trrrriiinnnnnnn!
A portal was opening right in front of Alusec. He waited until it was the size of a gate before jumping in.
The voice, 'he actually went in!?'
