Chapter 52 - Gods and Monarchs- 7

*******

[...Void! So you are finally here.]

Sun god Regal mumbled, looking directly at Arsh's face.

[ I thought that human wasn't capable enough of summoning you… So how come you are here?]

Arsh snickered suddenly or more accurately the mysterious voice named Void did. As he added in an overbearing tone.

Void took a deep breath, looking at his body again for a few seconds. He then crouched near Alan's battered body, taking the tar black sword out of his hand, chanting a spell silently.

[Shadow Stature]

As Alan's body slowly started being mended down by the shadow. Void stood up from the ground and looked back at the robed man in front of him with pure bloodlust.

 

Void disappeared from its place in a quick second, appearing in front of the Sun saint. Startled, the robed saint swung his shining sword at him. Though before it could even touch Arsh's body, it disintegrated in the mid-air.

Wide-eyed, the sun saint could try to defend himself quickly next. But swatting his hands away easily, Void caught him by the throat.

Nihility|

As void uttered the single word with a menacing smile, the sun saint's eyes widened. 

First, his throat intermingled between Void's fingers and slowly disappeared, followed by his hand and then to his legs, and finally his eyes. Which even at its end was looking at Void in pure primordial fear.

Uttering a single word, he just snuffed the Sun saint out of existence. A human who could hold Alan and Gelina all alone without getting as much as a scratch, died. Just like that.

Void again looked at his body, as streaks of golden lines appeared on both of his hands.

Sighing, he turned toward the demons on the sidelines, who were standing at their place fear-stricken. They all trembled before hurriedly taking a fighting stance. 

At that very moment, they knew who the real threat was in the situation. They could have taken care of other humans later on, but killing the cursed being in front of them took priority. Considering, If they could even scratch him in the first place.

The three demons looked at each other, before pointing their spears at him. They together went on to attack the man with purple skin with the most powerful strike they could have conjured.

But, it was all in vain. Void just looked at them with cold uninterested eyes, before raising his hand in the air.

Nihility|

The demons were definitely past 4th phase, on top of that there were three of them together. But, surprisingly enough, they just disintegrated into thin air in the middle of their attacks, leaving nothing behind. Not even ashes.

As the last demon disappeared in front of Void. He looked around the silent battlefield solemnly, his eyes stopping at Elsa, Leo, and Amanda standing on the side in shock and Gelina and Nidia who were breathing heavily on the ground. 

<...What the he->

Suddenly groaning, Void fell to the ground. A white light started emanating through his body, as more of the golden lines appeared on his borrowed body. As all of the bones along with the ligaments on his hand stretched out of place. Void again let out a painful growl clutching his hand tightly.

It was then, the Monarch of desire and the Sun god, who was just silently watching the whole ordeal until now, came forward. The lord of light added solemnly.

[...Void. I know you are strong. Strong enough to challenge the authority of Gods and Monarchs over the world. But, your host is not nearly strong enough to harness your potential to its fullest. And he will never be able to either, due to his mixed recessive genes.]

The Sun lord Regal, standing at the side of the Monarch of desire extended his hand toward Void.

[Leave him, Void, and come to us. We will rule the world together if you want.]

Hearing them talk Void suddenly smiled with a pained expression, slowly raising his body from the ground.

< First and foremost, I am connected to him by his soul tomb anyway. I can't exist without him. I am his first aspect. And as far as joining you go, that is also out of question. My host really hates all of you with full passion. So you guys can fuck right off, for all I care.>

The lord of light suddenly stepped forward directly in front of1 Arsh's body. Adding in a mocking tone.

[ You can't win against a single one of us with that body, much less us both. And if you forcefully try you'll just damage the body of the kid beyond repair. To us it doesn't matter if you are dead or alive, we just need to absorb you and move on.]

[You can die right here with your host trying to fight us, I don't care much about that. It all be the same for us. I am giving you another choice… Void of the endless. Choose wisely.]

Void looked back at them for a few seconds, before his face contorted in unfounded disgust. He clenched the tar black sword in his hand, pointing it at the divine beings in front of him. 

< You know? It is very strange. Before today, I didn't know I had a name, body, personality, or anything. I was just a part of the guy's body, for as long as remember. >

Void pointed at his body, before adding a longing tone.

< Since the moment I opened my eyes, I was with this guy. I saw what he saw. I felt what he felt. I went through everything, he went through for all this time…He is part of me, just like how I am his.>

< Sure. You can try to destroy us. Maybe I'll give up without even a fight too. But my counterpart is a bit different than me. He will fight until his last breath until every cell in his body doesn't stop moving.>

Void's eyes suddenly dimmed again, as a tint of crimson red flashed in his eyes. Void spun his sword, taking a step ahead.

The lord of light sighed, conjuring a condensed beam of light in his hand.

[So be it.]

Void tried to stop it with his black sword. But to no surprise to him at all, the sword shattered into a thousand small pieces upon the very touch of it.

Void slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the giant beam of light to pierce through him.

But the impact never came, even after a few seconds. Void slowly opened his eyes, looking at the hand stopping the giant condensed light in front of him. His eyes slowly moved toward the source of the hand, taking a few steps back he trembled slightly, noticing something strange in front of him.

The person in front of him had a normal human body. But again an otherworldly beautiful face made it difficult to identify him as any kind of gender, with strangely terrifying vibes surrounding him.

But unlike the other two, he didn't have a ginormous presence. On the contrary, he didn't have any presence at all. If Arsh didn't have seen him with his own eyes, he would never have guessed someone was just in front of him.

But what was even more surprising was the reactions of the other two divine beings, looking at the person standing in front of Arsh with wary eyes.

The Monarch of desire gritted his teeth in frustration, before adding in a bloodthirsty voice.

[Euryale. What are you doing here!?]

The man named Euryale looked back at them with a stoic expression, adding in a serious tone.

[Regal, Amir. Turn back right Now, and leave the child of the unknown alone. We have many things to discuss about what both of you have done till now.]

[And this is my first and final warning.]

The lord of light and the Monarch of desire looked at each other, before conjuring their weapons in existence. The red-eyed Monarch scoffed looking at the being named Euryale in front of him.

[... However strong you may be Euryale? But do you really believe you can take both of us on at the same time? You are neither lenape nor Azeroth. We have no reason to listen to anything you say.]

The man named Euryale looked at them for a few seconds, before turning to Void standing behind him.

[Well that didn't work. Any bright ideas?]

He then went on to sigh, before plunging his one hand through the body of Arsh.

[Also...I don't want to talk with aspects. Call out child of the unknown for me.]

Void looked down at the man's hand piercing through his chest with hollow eyes, before falling to the ground.

[ This is the fastest way.]

That was the last words Void heard, before plunging into the abyss of darkness.
