Chapter 3 - The essence of one

Year 2100, the universe has prospered in impressive ways the secret of the fruits is no longer a mystery, a union and laws have been created according to universal belief, no being will be able to take the fruit that belongs to another being, the supernal ancestors they are only accounts of two races that collided and were destroyed at the time.

Each planet and its fruit has been claimed by a "messiah", this has become the symbol of the race, the protective guardian and on his shoulders he is in charge of carrying the responsibility of guiding his people, if any of the owners were to seek the other fruits to take the place of God this would be condemned with destruction, the position by universal decision will remain empty forever. Prosperity must prevail over all things over time a hierarchy was formed where the oldest "messiahs" would take the position of watchmen, these became 12 although the claimers of the fruits would not age they were not immortal their regeneration was perfect, but in the face of considerable damage it became slow, leaving them vulnerable as well as on the verge of certain death of receiving more damage.

During the expansion of civilizations, one in particular found what would be the ancient planet of the supernos, searching among the ruins, they found technological artifacts, religious information and findings of a devastating war with these tests the 12 watchmen made the entire universe known as what It was considered only a legend, it was something real the battle of the ancestors and supernos was made known along with all the technology and wealth, even so, fearing a possible revolt or search for the total knowledge of these ancient and powerful civilizations the vigilantes in mutual In agreement they decided to launch a campaign on the more developed worlds imposing a regime with their power on the worlds, they hoped to avoid an arms rise such that the supernal ancestor war would be repeated in the civilizations of the new universe, silencing those who tried to rise up in voice and destroying what was left of the planet the vigilantes managed to In order to avoid possible discoveries that endangered the order and peace that reigned, the vigilantes chose to store the entire discovery of the ancient civilizations for themselves, this being the last straw that overcame the cup of the entire universe, the vigilant protectors. Of peace the nations became the objective of the worlds, they undertook an alliance against them under the motto of the end justifying the means under the banner and oath to fight a battle for true knowledge and not comfortable or empty words given by the vigilantes, The great war between nations that the vigilantes feared was avoided but with their actions their lives were condemned because now the entire universe considered them as dangerous entities possessing not only a considerable number of fruits of Eden but also the mysteries that surrounded this enigmatic symbol .

On a desolate planet far from the sovereignty of the 12 vigilantes was Gictroan, when the wave reached the planet his body instinctively adsorbed the life existing in the nearby planets that had not yet been reached by the destruction that was coming, although all this was In vain due to the serious injuries resulting from his fight with Zero, he could not contain the impact and ended up only diverting a portion of it, the cost of his actions to survive led him to absorb all the essence of the fruit of Eden housed on the planet. And in his being, this union allowed him to survive and take his body to a stage of almost divine ascension, allowing him immortality with a regenerative capacity that would diminish with the passing of the years and would make the acquired wounds permanent sequels, although this was advantageous. I condemn to wander eternally because although he tried to take his life on many occasions, the only thing he managed was to leave a scar on his neck from the many times that I try to cut my throat. Enraged and confused by everything that had happened the madness seemed more and more evident, in his being wandering through hundreds of corpses a desolate planet without the need to sleep, eat or even breathe it was only a matter of time before Gictroan lost his little sanity What was left of him, kneeling in the facilities of what was his old home and birthplace, lamenting that he existed, he heard a vague sound coming from a communications tower, crawling because in his last suicide attempt he tried to throw himself from a very high and despite its regeneration it still did not heal, continued to the tower delirious on the way without knowing what it would find.

Upon reaching the Gictroan tower, he hallucinated with voices and whispers due to stress, however among the sounds one was real so real that he shed a light of hope in what little sanity he had left, leaning on a desk he proceeded to listen to the entire message carefully , the message reported on the discovery of the 12 watchmen and what happened during that time also reported on the alliance made by everyone in the universe as well as specified the betrayal of the entities for this reason all the planets would be probed in search of these beings for their prompt capture and execution. Although the message was disconcerting because many years had passed since it was heard, Gictroan kept the hope that the planet had not yet been probed, so he regained his sanity and decided to live, he began to wander the already destroyed planet in search of technology that could use to leave the planet or send a message.

Years passed and the survey team never arrived Gictroan during his young life managed to learn a lot about technology, without having to sleep, eat or rest he spent all his time strengthening his intelligence and knowledge when he reached a considerably adult stage he understood that his hope of being found It was just a dream so he decided to find a way to get out of the dying planet, collecting parts and defective ships, he managed to assemble one capable of taking off even going into space but without the ability to make long trips, he had already made his decision he would not stay not a moment more in such a decadent place, taking his ship, he took flight into space, suddenly in his ascent he could feel the descent of a humanoid object inside he felt that something was throbbing without thinking twice he did not stop his ascent but he could notice how that object was falling He took an extraordinary detour and positioned himself en route to the ship, thus generating a collision from which the ship would not be saved. endo, the object he had seen descending had a humanoid shape this thing inexplicably approached Gictroan in the blink of an eye and loudly claimed the essence of the fruit that lay within Gictroan.

Upon reaching the ground, the humanoid seriously wounded by some fierce battle before his arrival on the planet, he presented himself in front of Gictroan as one of the 12 vigilantes, he named himself as entity 6 with one hand raised Gictroan from among the rubble and with the other inserting it inside he began to extract what seemed to be a rocky fragment full of blood, when he felt pain for the first time in a long time Gictroan took the entity's hand and with great force tore off the entire limb of this being , impressed by what he had done but convinced that the being in front of his eyes could harm him, he began to fight at that moment with him, the entity did not seem to flinch despite the loss of his limb or his injuries which they were leaving. to heal as time passed, while in battle both without a hint of sweat or fatigue felt an internal call for each other the fruits within them yearned to quench their thirst for imperfection fed on other fruits in order to be completed, although the fight seemed to have no end, the entity fell to its knees, its wounds no longer healed, its appearance became increasingly old and the blood was abundant. Looking into the eyes of Gictroan in a weak tone I name him as the winner of the match and its fruit, this being begged to make good use of it but to be careful because many would come for him, since the absolute power lies in the essence of one without understand these last words Gictroan tried to speak to the entity but it stabbed itself with its hand and released what looked like a purple rock pouncing with the last forces that it had on Gictroan it introduced it into his being, piercing his stomach and leaving him unconscious In the process, the entity with a face of satisfaction knew the high healing that Gictroan possessed so he did not worry when doing such an act, he knew that the only way to fuse the body and the fruit was by introducing it inside him and that so that this was activated the host had to ingest it. Looking at the sky he exhaled his last breath and fell face down while his body aged at an incalculable rate until only dust remained in that place.

Gictroan alive but unconscious navigated in a spiritual plane where indescribable entities moved from one place to another in a matter of the blink of an eye suddenly one of them noticed the being that was observing them and violently approached Gictroan waking him up suddenly, amazed and hyperventilated by fright, he looked around in search of the being that attacked him, but he only saw around him an arid and desolate land, he could feel that he was not the same, something inside him had changed from the moment he the fruit of the 6 entity entered his body worried about what might happen to him, he decided to rest for a whole day before continuing his journey to the nearby stars, while the last words of that humanoid resounded in his head "absolute power it lies in one's essence ".
