Chapter 18 - A meeting in the abyss

Standing a few meters away from each other, the venerer and a humanoid figure looked at one another with curiosity, the monster felt like this person was familiar, more so than the abyss felt.

In the infinite darkness of the abyss, the two pairs of glowing eyes seemed to be the only light, one pair was of deep purple while the other was of a dark green.

The Lord Of The Hunt wasn't certain what to do now that he was there, he heavily doubted that the venerer could hear any kind of reason and the Twin-blooded didn't actually know what he should do at all, he had come here to right his wrong without thinking.

He put a hand forward and tried to reconnect with the aspect of the Lord Of The Hunt, only to realise that the aspect he had been born with felt ungraspable, as if it wasn't the same aspect anymore.

As he did so, the venerer analysed the strange individual before itself, it wasn't covered in the abyssal darkness, meaning that it was an outsider, this outsider had two very differing smells, just like the woman garbed with a red cloak, the two only shared one smell in common, the similarities ended quickly.

"..." the outsider stayed silent, thinking on what he should do, after a little bit, two pieces of armor appeared on his hands, gauntlets shaped like claws, they ressembled that of the venerer.

Understanding what that meant, the venerer flashed its own claws and stood up on its hind legs, standing much higher than the man before itself.

"I am sorry to have created you and I am sorry to have to kill you" spoke the man before lunging forward like a beast.

The venerer, as always, understood the meaning of the words but didn't give them much thought as the man approached it at a fast speed.

The man moved fast and with precision, making his attacks unpredictable and hard to avoid, which is why the venerer didn't bother doing so, the outsider may be fast but his fake claws couldn't even sever the venerer's limbs.

The venerer simply stood still for a while, taking every coming its way as it prepared for the kill, adaptating its eyes to the speed of the man, it seemed as if the outsider was slowing down from the venerer's perspective.

Both of the fake claws were thrusted forward at the same insane speed as before but both of them were caught in the venerer's grasp.

The monster tightened its grip on the fake claws, bending the unknown metal and crushing the hands hidden inside of the gauntlets.

This result should have seemed obvious to him, he knew better than anyone else how powerful that aspect was and this being, the venerer was created around the aspect, this monster was buildt to become the strongest predator possible.

The Twin-blooded, who now lacked the aspect, couldn't stand a chance even with his godly powers, after all, as stated on its status, the venerer is also of divine nature.

He looked at the monster before him and checked his status to remind himself before death.

*Specie: Venerer*

*Monster type: Natural occurence, Holy, Divine, Remnant, Eldritch, Abyssal, Fate denier, World bane, Retributionist*

*A being that came to be after the great victory, born after a certain aspect was consumed, an anomaly that was moved by the blind idiot, the owner of the aspect is the venerer, no longer is the Lord Of The Hunt considered worthy of it*

*The venerer is a monster birthed from the divergence of a world will, once birthed the venerer will seek to kill and reproduce, eventually, the venerer is to devour all of life and death inside of the world it was birthed in, causing the death of the world will and the start of new world*

*A venerer can only be birthed a few times in each world, allowing for the possibility of a divergent world will to live*

The venerer was litteraly spawned from betrayal in a way, it was strange to think that such a vicious and perverse being was here to give punishment, one would usually think an angel of death or something along those lines would appear to give retribution and not what was about to murder the Lord Of The Hunt.

The few seconds as the both of them stared at each other, as the only sound that could be heard was that of metal being bended and of flesh and bones being crushed felt like an eternity.

Once again, the monster seemed to taunt its victim as it mimicked a voice of the past, this imitation implying that the Lord Of The Hunt, the one who sat on the throne in the cosmos had been as difficult to bring down as the one the words had originally come from.

"You a fast one, ain't you?" mimicked the venerer before bringing a arge maw down on the man's head, biting it whole and crushing it, sending bits of brain and shards of skull flying everywhere.

Just like that, a god had been killed by what essentially used to be part of himself, with such an action, the venerer was granted an ample amount of XP and thus strength, even if it had been as easy as stealing a candy from a dead baby, deicide was deicide and was an action that deserved reward from the system.

It was unknown whether or not the venerer would be able to ever find a way back into the world, the abyss was not known for letting people out.

This, however was only the situation of this particular venerer, more world wills were doomed to diverge from their goal and cause the apparition of a venerer in their own world.

Some venerer would overwhelm the world with their own strength, some would reproduce and cause the birth of more monsters, overwhelming the world in that way and some would fail to do so.

What was certain however, was that the original venerer would be watching each and every one of them, taking in the knowledge and their experiences in the eventuality that one day, it too would be able to enter a world.
