A small, fist size ball of blue light was floating in a void. But still it wasn't easily distinguishable for two reasons. One, there were hundreds of millions of similar balls of light accompanying each other. The void was like a glass, and the balls of light were the content, filled to the brim of the void. That's when a sudden shockwave disrupted the balls of light moving in one direction. And at the same time, another shockwave stabilised every balls, except one ball. That was the ball, we were talking about.
A/N- I am Not a Ball lover. You know which one I am talking about.
The balls, were souls. Souls that numbered in billions, probably even trillions. But there was no time to count them, so no one had done that. The shockwave, now that was from an interesting fight that had happened.
Events, from some time earlier..
Two figures were fighting each other. One of them the evil, the other one good. Nah, there is no such thing as good or evil. Fk, that's just something created by the winners. So yeah, one of them was an ugly humanoid monster, fighting against a handsome guy Nope, not the MC. Discriminators already guessed the handsome guy was the hero. The ugly monster was the caretaker of those souls, the balls of light. The Lord Yama, from the myth. While the handsome guy was, his son. It is shocking that an ugly humanoid creature like that could have an handsome son like the one he was fighting.
The reason for the fight? Because the son wanted to spread his wings more than his ugly father wanted him to.
A/N- FYI, I don't have any daddy issues...
So that was the reason for why all of this happened. One of the attacks from the handsome guy caused the humanoid monster's control over that void to loosen. This caused those light balls to move out of the void, while some destroyed the other. The ugly guy was trying to stop it as much as he could. But one did escape the void, but it was caught by the handsome guy. That's when for the first time, the handsome guy decided to speak, instead of fighting.
He said, "Even if we both fight for another hundreds of years, none of us would be able to defeat each other. How about a fair match between us?" This caught the attention of the ugly humanoid monster. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Let's hear it... " The handsome guy smile at this, while tossing the ball of light in his hand, in the "air" and said in a confident voice, "Let's chose a champion, and let them fight a fair and simple one round match.. " The ugly humanoid monster immediately agreed to this, because he had already thought of whom to choose. But that's when the handsome guy interrupted with a teasing smile on his face, "Not your previous champions. I am talking about new ones. " The ugly monster looked at the ball of light in the hand of the handsome guy with doubtful eyes. But he couldn't find anything special about that ball of light. It was quite clear that his son wanted to use the soul in his hand as his champion, but what he couldn't understand was why?
The handsome guy smiled and said, "Father, you don't have to look at me like I am some deceitful person. I like fair challenges, so I had chosen this soul. He is pure, but can be cruel when he want to be. Nothing else is special about this soul. Just a mediocre soul with a few qualities. "
The old monster didn't find any lies from the face of his son. So he nodded his head, thinking the words his son had spoken were true. This was something the old monster was proud of. He had been living for eons. So this was something that was quite easy for gods like him. Yep, GODS.. Both the handsome guy and the old monster were Gods. The only reason the handsome guy wanted to fight his father to begin with, was because he wanted to get control over all those souls. Because those souls could give powers to the entity that owned them.
So if he was to take those souls away from his father once they were ripe for consumption, he would become the most powerful diety to ever exist. The handsome guy smiled to himself when he realised that he had successfully fooled his father quite easily. His father agreed to the contest, but the old monster wanted to make it impossible for his son to win. So he said, "I can agree with your deal. But, I would select the world our champions would fight. " The handsome guy nodded with a confident smile and said, "That's something I can agree to. "
And then the handsome guy brought the ball of light close to his lips and whispered, "You are special. I hope you liberate this world of crimes and bring justice to it. " Whispering this, he couldn't help but smirk, when he played his whispers again. 'Quite ironic.', He thought. Then he pushed the ball of light away out of the void, and so did the old monster, as he had picked out another ball of soul, out of his long robes, which was good at hiding his trunk and chest, which were nothing but bones. The bones were almost golden with a hint of red in them.
The handsome guy sighed as he saw the soul disappear from the void. He turned to his father and said, "I hope your champion would be able to put up a fight with my champion. " Then the handsome guy turned around and disappeared. This made the old guy understand the trap he had fallen into. But the old monster smiled hideously, because he won't let his son win. So he used his powers, when his son disappeared after saying those words, to strengthen the champion the old monster had selected.
