Chapter 19 - Contract

I fell and fell into the deep dark abyss below.

I don't know how long I fell but it felt like an extremely long time for me as these hands, that I could still feel wrapped around my body were pulling me downward.

After being pulled into the darkness all the strength left my body and I couldn't even fight it to the point that I wished to go into a deep slumber but my gut was telling me that doing so was a death sentence even for one such as myself so I stayed conscious the entire time as I fell.

..

.

Much later on, barely staying conscious at this point, I actually 'saw' something in the distance which made me pull my head out of its groggy state and look at it.

It was light, but it looked more like an open door with a grassy plane on the other side of it.

Then I felt it the hands shift positions and then pushed/threw me towards that door which I fell through and continued my descent but this time I could control my body.

So I reorientated myself before crashing into the ground leaving a crater in my wake before I picked myself up and brushed myself off.

"Where the hell is this?" I say as I look around, a grassy plane as far as the eye can see and above the sky is covered in hundreds of thousands of doors.

This place seemed peaceful but to me was very off putting, if I didn't have my own version of what I think that place looks in my mind the feeling this place gives off only makes me think of one possible place in every reality that this could possibly be.

"The stench of evil and despair, anguish and death, anger and hatred, this…. Is this place hell?" I ask out loud as I looked around at this.

*WOOMWOOMWOOMWOOM*

I was barely able to keep myself standing as I could feel the space of this place morph and reshape itself as the light in the sky dimmed.

And only darkness surrounded me in all directions except the patch of land in front of me as figures began to manifest to the left and right of me in perfectly straight rows as the darkness to reveal them.

To my left stood what I assume were human men wearing rather strange helmeted suits as they held their hands together in prayer.

And on the right were pair of legs pointing straight up from the ground as they were the other half of the praying men as their blood made straight lines between their legs and the rest of their bodies as a figure started to take shape from within the darkness as it walked out and showed itself to me.

What I saw was a monstrosity made of multiple mutilated bodies and the bones of what appears to be dinosaurs as I stared at it, if this is hell like it is then I assume this is one of its many devils, a very old and ancient devil.

This must be a Devil of Darkness, or the Darkness Devil for short.

The Darkness Devil's body is made up of many human bodies, with two bodies acting as his legs and four other human bodies acting as his torso, each having a unique face: the one immediately below the neck has no eyes, nose and a vertical mouth, the second head has open eyes and a stitched mouth, the third one has no nose, an open mouth and stitched eyes, and the fourth one has no eyes and a somber expression. Its head akin to that of a dinosaur with curved horns. The first human body has its arms stretching outwards holding what seems to be a cape of darkness.

Looking at the thing that was looking back at me was making my eyes bleed but my regeneration was keeping it at a minimum, but I could feel it's intentions and it's mere presence just naturally does this when it looks upon something, but my gut is telling me not to attack as it might not be able to kill me but the suffering I would feel from the fight would be immense.

"See no evil, Speak no evil, Hear no evil and do no evil." I say as I look at the heads on its body, though the saying on its body from top to bottom was 'Do no Evil, Speak no Evil, See no Evil and Hear no Evil'

The saying that one must either have a willingness to be in good mind, speech and action and not dwell on evil thoughts, but I follow its inverse path along with this Devil, with a conniving attitude we willingly turn a blind eye to evil around us.

'Croak' I hear the sound of a frog croaking as my ears bleed from hearing that before I grabbed my head as a voice appeared in my head, 'Contract, Price, Payment, Give, And, Take' it said fragmently inside of my head as I looked back at it as it held out its arm from the 'Speak no Evil' body as it wants what I can offer it to form a contract.

And I could feel what it wants exactly, Darkness is only strengthen from receiving more Darkness in the end, so I reached into my item storage and pulled out the Yami Yami No Mi.

"I'll give you this, but in return I want access to all of your powers as well as what ever this gives you after you consume it." I say as I calmly approached the devil and placed it in its out stretched hand.

It looked at the Devil Fruit and could feel it's power, as if an old piece of itself was finally coming home before pulling it into its darkness and letting it merge into its very being before I saw it's 'Speak no Evil' head close its eyes for a moment before opening them and looking at me.

'Deal' is all I heard as it outstretched its arm towards me which I grasped in hand and shook completing the contract.

But instead of letting go-

*Stab!*

"Kah!" I coughed out blood as it had stabbed me in the chest as I could feel a finger touching my heart.

'Seed, Of, Darkness, Contract, Complete' I hear in my mind as I feel something moving around on top of my heart before merging with it as well before he pulled out his hand and let go of mine with the other one as I grasped my chest as my wound began to close up.

"Bastard!" I say getting rather furious at what he did which I can see from its 'Speak no Evils' face that he was laughing at me as it grinned before it waved its hand as a door appeared beneath me and opened making me fall into the abyss once more.

….

..

.

Sometime later I awoke sitting beneath a tree as I was clearly back on my island as I placed my hand on my chest as I could feel my heart has changed before I looked at my phone and saw some notifications.

"Interesting." I say as I look at the shadow of a tree which changes and stabs right through the tree before morphing into a scythe to cut it in half making it fall over.

"Good, my repertoire of abilities just keeps on increasing by the day, it won't be long until my world is ruled by me and this one will soon follow, though something to finally fix." I say as I look towards the shop before spending 100,000 points to buy two necessary things for myself.

The price was worth it as I held both in my hands as I slotted one into the other before facing the sun and placing them both on my face as it pierced my skull.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!" I shouted out as I felt immense energy flowing into my body through my skull as the energy from the sun invigorated my body before both shattered and fell off of my face.

"HeheheheHAHAHAHAHAHA! Finally! I truly am immortal!" I shout out as I remove the vambraces and enjoy the feeling of the sun on my skin with no fear of dying from it any longer.

(1. Defeat the Sun, Completed)

After feeling absolute ecstasy I relaxed and didn't let my current new state of being to get to my head as I maybe immortal and near impossible to kill, but my soul is still my weak point.

"Haaa, Now it's time I put plans into motion and find ways to strengthen my soul." I say with a smirk before I begin my walk back towards the beach where the rest of my crew was still partying at.

*******

Note Dio is now an Ultimate Lifeform but he doesn't have the ability to turn his body into various different animals as only original Pillar men have the dna of all living things like Kars had, but he has an immortal body and Reactive Evolution to respond with extreme conditions and adapt to them accordingly.

While it's nearly impossible to kill Dio Physically, unless you chuck him into a black hole or turn his body to nothing instantly with the equivalent strength of a supernova going off right on top of him, his soul is his weak point and it's destruction can easily lead to his death.

Dio is still overpowered but he is not invincible.
