Philip stepped forward to take a closer look at Camille. The ground was devoid of any branches or leaves and it seemed to polished
But as soon as he was almost five meters away from Camille, the blood flowing in the air resonated and reacted. This made Braham react in a way that he was ready to destroy
"Who's there?!!"
Braham shouted and startled the witch
"What? Is someone here?"
The witch and her magic was disturbed slightly but she managed to recover and stabilize the revival process
"Hm... There shouldn't be anyone in here... Might be my imagination, I'm exhausted"
"That's what happens when you use your life force for her revival. You should rest and recover your life force while I'm also taking it"
"I'll pass... I have to keep guard while you revive her. You're vulnerable anyways. You won't be able to protect yourself"
"Fine, whatever you say"
Philip listened to their conversation and their idle chatter while he waited. He wanted to watch the process of constructing Camille's body so that he could take notes for his big project in the future, but his vision flashed and the surroundings changed drastically
'What?!'
There were roots overgrowing in the floor and branches penetrating the walls, leaves and vines became lush, and dirt covered the entire floor
「 10 years has passed... 」
The witch aged but she doesn't seem look older. Though, her clothes deteriorated and it looked like everything ia about to fall off
Meanwhile, even though ten years has passed, Braham doesn't look different at all, except that bags are forming under his eyes and his cheek bones are starting to line his face
On the other hand, Camille's body was almost restored and ahe doesn't look liket he Camille from the present, but she is the Camille before she died
'Huh... Defying life and death...'
Philip commented inside his mind because they defied Death himself
'This wasn't resurrection nor reincarnation, or necromancy nor black magic, or a contract from the devil nor scientific breakthrough... Is it forbidden magic or just the power of love?'
It was then that Braham finally stood up and the last of the particles has finally fused with the revived Camille
"Hundreds of years has passed and an ordinary human cannot match the might of time... One last step before her revival is complete and her soul should return after this..."
The witch relished the taste of Braham's life force that she took while reviving Camille. She then silently watched intimately as Braham approached Camille on the pedestal
"The power of love requires a sacrifice and time, huh? I'm glad you have reunited with your lover after all these years..."
"Yes, for that, I thank you..."
"No problem! Do what you have to do, I'll keep watch this time"
"Thank you"
Braham then carefully lifted Camille's body and pulled her closer to him
"Just a little more Camille and we'll be together once again!"
Braham's large bat wings grew behind him and flapped powerfully. He opened his mouth and his fangs grew larger. He prepared to bite Camille on the neck to turn her into a vampire
'Defying Death without following any of the absolute rules comes with drastic consequences... Life might forgive them, but Death won't forgive then... The power of love can only bring them far enough...'
Philip muttered in his head as he prophesied Braham and Camille's fates. At this moment, Braham also bit Camille on her neck and turned her into a vampire
After a few seconds, Camille's body started to twitch and shake, but Braham held her firmly
But then, the same red matter that Philip saw before coming here was released from Camille's body. The red matter blobs became chaotic orbs that pulsates and changes shapes every second. It was like a lump of fat that turns into a ball of spike repeatedly
The release of red energy and red aura was powerful that it managed to push away a pureblooded vampire prince
"Eh?"
The witch exclaimed and the moment the red energy touched her, she disintegrated dust and atoms
At this point, Philip's body also reacted and automatically activated a lot of his abilities. His eyes shone with golden color in both eyes, violet color on the right, and red color on the left. His hair turned golden with single strands that are colored lavender due to his ⟨⟨ Draconic Disastrous Hero ⟩⟩ title. The [Disaster Crest] also illuminated on his forehead
Pureblood released all of the Pureblood abilites and every abilities contracted and condensed into three abilities; the [Blood Horn] that's glowing bright and hot grew above the [Disaster Crest], the [Blood Crown] that's ignited, and rhe [Blood Singularity] that became a Blood Hole that's hovering above his head slightly in front of him
His body showed the most reaction as it forcefully used ⟨⟨ Null of Magnificence ⟩⟩ and ⟨⟨ Form of Godliness ⟩⟩. His breath was forcefully taken and he exhaled deeply. He had to use his all to inhale air back again to not die from suffocation
Camille's body then transformed into what he looked like in the present. Her body hovered in the air and rotated to face everyone. She levitated in the air and opened her eyes
Her red eyes showed the same yellow symbol before Philip came to the past. Camille then began to speak in hundreds of voices
[The life force of a pureblooded vampire... The magic of witchcraft... The application of any curse... The defiance of death...]
Camille stated everything that she went through during her revival; Braham's sacrifice, the witch's help, Braham's bite, and the revival itself. Everythinf seemed normal until her next words
[...the presence of divinity... The ripple in time and space... The smell of pure blood... The changes in fate... And an unknown...]
Philip was alarmed. Camille was certainly talking about his presence and the fact that he was here. It didn't help that her gaze slowly turned towards him
She raised her left arm and pointed at his direction. No one should be able to see him and the proof is that Braham was confused as to where she was pointing
"Camille?"
Braham called out to her but there was no reply
"Are you okay??"
Braham asked while his voice trembled. It was then that space warped around him and dark blue clouds engulfed him
"Huh? No--"
Braham disappeared and he either was instantly killed on the spot or he was teleported by a higher power or intervention
Meanwhile, after Camille pointed at Philip, she began to speak
[The perfect ingredients... A slight trace of the Omega... You, Philip, the Witch of Beginning demands your presence]
Philip was alarmed but he didn't know what to do. He considered going back to the present but the fact that he came to the past with a flash and not the usual kaleidoscopic hyperspace tells him he won't be able to
He also considered to strike first but he didn't know what kind of being he's facing and the person in front of him is still Camille
「 Uhhh... 」
Even Emily didn't know what to do. She also knows that escape is impossible and striking the being in front of Philip is not feasible due to the fact that it's still Camille
Camille then opened her palm and the space and dimension behind her changed, like they were being engulfed by an expanding red patch that resembled a drop of water on a piece of soft paper or tissue
『 An exception has occured!!! 』
『 This is the fifth exception that has occured!!! 』
『 The Rule of Milestone will apply!!! 』
『 The Omega System will acce-- 』
At this moment, the red patch completely engulfed both of them and it cut his connection with the Omega System
The Omega System wasn't showing any displays nor Emily was showing any signs that she's present. Camille also disappeared in front of him
He then found himself in a place that's completely red that seemed to be in static. The static shows black static and white static. The chaos of the static was messing with his eyes and he can't concentrate
[Philip... The Fated Omega One! The Prophesied One... The Destroyer of Eveything! We have finally met!]
Philip turned around and he saw a woman with brown hair, red crown that extends that her cheeks, a maroon collar, and red-maroon dress, opera gloves, and stilettos. Her eyes are shining snd swirling with red, maroon, and white colors. Red matter and white energy chaotically explodes, expands, contracts, and implode around her
[I am the Witch of Beginning! An Agent of Chaos and I am tasked to erase you from this universe and in all existence!]
Philip was alarmed and full of fear. A tempered blood sword and blood spear conjured on his right hand and left jand respectively. Hundreds and thousands of blood weapons also conjured behind him and revolved around him with the Blood Hole as the center. He prepared himself for battle and massacre because he knows he is no match against an agent of chaos
[Hm?]
The Witch of Beginning exclaimed with utter confusion
[Philip? Is that you?]
Philip didn't waste any time and he immediately swung the sword and spear in one direction
'Null of Magnificence and Form of Godliness: Perfect Recoiless Technique: Twin Blades Concept: Ultimate Twin Slash. Mana Actualization: Power Amplification. Darkness Authority: Black Hole'
A large gash of darkness came towards the Witch of Beginning and a single slash seemed to engulf her
[Chaos Magic: Render Useless]
She conjured red matter on her left hand and white energy mixed within the red matter. She threw the fusion at the gash and both of them collided
The force and energy was enough to shake the dimension that they were in and have an effect on the static effect of the realm
The Witch of Beginning also seemed confused whether Philip is actually Philip
[What are these powers?]
She flicked her hand to the right and identified Philip's abilities
[Pureblood, Magic Eye of Disaster and a Disaster Hero title, Fate Control, Future Vision, Pain Conversion, Pain Denial, Emotion Manipulation, Weather Manipulation, Sword Concept, Spear Concept, Null of Magnificence, Form of Godliness, Perfect Recoiless Technique, Mana Actualization, Darkness Authority, Nine Gates of Wrath, Sprout of Regenerative Ivory, Curse Invocation, World of Imagination, World of Absolute Nothingness, and the Omega System! Not to mention, several more titles, sub-abilities, sub-skills, and relationship empowerments!!!]
Philip was taken aback and he immediately felt hopelessness after he saw the Witch of Beginning counter one of his strongest attacks without breaking a sweat. She also named almost all of his abilities with a flick of a hand. He immediately felt helpless for the first time in a while
[You only got six abilities correct! Hm? You earned two of them way too early and what is this Sprout of Regenerative Ivory? It shouldn't be a sprout and just Regenerative Ivory! It's your living armor! What are you? Fate Control, Sword Concept, and Curse Invocation were correct while you received the Nine Gates of Wrath and Omega System way too early!]
"What do you mean by that?!"
Philip bravely asked a question since that's his only choice for now
[What do you mean what do I mean? In which year do you currently live?]
"2025!"
Philip decided to tell the truth since he doesn't gain anything by lying
[Whaaat...]
The Witch of Beginning furrowed her eyebrows from extreme confusion. She began to pace around and talk to herself
[The prophecy said that even though his resurrection was stripped off, he will reincarnate and he will being destruction to the universe to achieve his goal once again... But it's five years too early for him to be even here! Was there an exception?! What changed everything?! Let me tey something...]
The Witch of Beginning faced Philip once again and extended her right arm towards him. She conjured a massive chaotic ball of red matter and white energy on her palm
Philip was alarmed and he immediately sent the hundred thousands of blood weapons towards her
"Perfect Recoiless Technique: Twin Blades Concept: Billion Raining Blades. Mana Actualization: Light Speed. Darkness Authority: Pitch Speed"
[Chaos Magic: Infinite Pain and Deconstruction]
She flicked her hand upward and her magic instantly reached Philip. She ignored the million blood blades coming towards her that filled the red static realm with black strands as the red matter deflected them and the white energy disintegrated them
"---"
Philip opened his mouth wide and he couldn't make any sound. Red matter and whtie energy enveloped his body and he hovered upwards as his body began to get deconstructed
His skin was pulled off from his muscles, his muscles were disentangled off of his bones, the tissues and bone marrow inside his bones were pulled out. His nerved were separated, the blood vessels were also separated, the Spirit Fibers wete separated, and the Mana Spots, Mana Shard in his chest, and Mana Orb in his brain wete separated. The Pureblood was detached from his body and the [Stigma of the Sword], [Stigma of the Spear], [Disaster Crest] were also detached
The [Blood Horn] and [Blood Crown] disappeared after the Pureblood was detached
His eyeballs were separated and the nerves and blood vessels in them were separate. All parts of his brain were separated, aling with the individual parts on all of his organs. All hair from his head and skin and layers of skin and muscles were separated. His teeth was pulled out, including his nails and all organs
All liquids were then separated, including nutrients and nourishment. It was then that his entire deconstructed body was further deconstructed into tissues, then cells, then molecules. It reached until the size of DNA and finally atoms
His atoms weren't safe either as it further deconstructed into single atomic particles, in which it separated into quarks, then energy
Even his soul, consciousness, imagination, and astral projection were separated. All of them were also deconstructed into waves, energy, and quantum particles
All of these deconstruction was felt by Philip. He felt infinite pain but he couldn't do anything but to suffer an illusion of prolonged time of experiencing pain for who knows how long within a few seconds
[He's way inferior than before... He is no match for me now... I could just erase him right here right now... But... I won't do that...]
The Witch of Beginning maintained the deconstructed state of Philip
"..."
The Witch of Beginning narrowed her eyes after she felt the wind change
⟨ 🤫 ⟩
[Hm?! What the heck was that?!?!!]
She reacted to nothing
⟨ 😂 ⟩
"..."
[What's happening?!]
She began to talk to herself even though nothing's happening around her
⟨ 🤔 ⟩
⟨ 😐 ⟩
⟨ 🤪 ⟩
⟨ 🤯 ⟩
⟨ 👋 ⟩
"..."
[...]
It was then that the red matter and white energy on the Witch of Beginning's hand fizzled and popped
[Huh?]
"???"
The deconstructed body of Philip started to come together and construct itself. The construction process took too much energy that it created a singularity of energy around him. Even the red and black static seemed to be siphoning into him
『 ?̵̛̲͚̗̹̮̰͕̪̀̃̔́͊͑?̷̧̢̧̨̢̧̯̲̞̣̥̜̩͙͙̙̭̞̞̙̺̘̰͕̰͚̩̗̎̾͑́͗̒̋̃̾̿̿̾͜͜ͅ?̵̞̝̗̬͓̭̹̗̈́̏̅̕ 』
Philip's body finally constructed back to how it was before and the Omega System finally responded
Though, the system displayed an uncountable number of black colored displays that shows a glitched text of three question marks
Philip body also seemed to be covered in shadow, not darkness. His hair began to flutter in the air and his eyes swirled chaotically that seemed that his eyes were being roughly drawn out
[!!!]
The Witch of Beginning was alarmed to her core and she immediately conjured all the red matter and white energy around her
[Chaos Magic! Reality Manipulation!!!]
Red matter and white energy expanded rapidly around the realm. Philip raised his right arm and pointed at her
"�̴̗̟̙̦̩͗̇̀͐̇̕�̶̧͉͌̽̃́̇́͊̐�̵̣̄̑̃̈́͊̓�̴̭̟͇̟͍̂͋̎͐̀͘͜�̴̖̘̪̞̳̩̲̲͆͑̋̐�̴̧̫̼̙̮̫̽̇͠�̵̨̳͈̫̫̎̀�̸̨̭̩͖̱̰̞͌�̸̪̭͓͓̣͗̒�̵̼͎̰͉̭̦͍̣̅́́̄�̷̮̬̤̞͐͊̓͛͆͒͑͝�̶̛̻̞̝̯̯̘̲̊̅̐̕�̸̨̦͍̰̞́͗̌̓͘͝�̵̛̣̠̜̫͌͛́͒̕͝�̶̩̬̝͈̜̈́̿�̵̢̡̹̥̰́̌͘ͅ ̷͍͈̘͊͑̒̔͒̾�̶̨̨͙̭̤̙̦̟̊̆͠�̶͎̆͗̍̆̓͂̃̚�̴̛̼͒̆̈́̚̚̚͠�̵̻̐́̀̑̉͘̕ͅͅ�̴͓͔͆̃�̷͓͕͇̘̦̤̽͋̂̑̃̚̕�̴̖̩̙̯͋́̄̍̏̇͝�̵͙̱̲̮̜͔̦̃̎͒̅͋͗͗͘�̸͇͔̦̳̎͐̽͆̓͑͒̕͜�̷̢̟̞̻̐̀̅̿̈́̂̌̓͜�̴̙̯̤͈̄̐�̷̫̮̥̖͓̓̈́̾"
Red matter and white energy immediately collapsed and disappeared. The Witch of Beginning was pushed back and utter shock filled her face
[Everything's too early! What is this?!!]
Philip then flicked his poitned finger to the side and rhe Witch of Beginning suddenly lost her powers and the red static realm began to collapse
The Witch of Beginning looked around and felt helplessness. She wanted to call for backup but at this point, she couldn't
She then faced Philip as his chaotically swirling eyes were looking down on her while glitchwd black displays were surrounding him. She accepted his fate and lowered her head down
