Chapter 8 - Tale of The Void

Within an infinitely expanding realm of nothingness, a single figure could be seen.

This figure had extremely long dark hair that reached the ends of the realm this being was in, a body adorned with incredible muscles that had survived the terrific passing of time and a natural presence that could sunder the heavens.

These same muscles were covered in an uncountable amount of blue and red runes, instead of tarnishing the beauty of the being it only added to it, truly making this being seem mystical.

On the being's face which seemed to be a male in his forties, a perfectly groomed black beard could be seen as he slowly opened his eyes.

"So it is finally over. The last clone took a bit too long. Thankfully he managed to get his task done."

The old man's words seemed to resonate with peace and harmony itself as the space around him seemed to shiver in delight in front of his presence.

"Let us commence."

The void around him disintegrated leaving place to an expanse filled with every imaginable energy type in existence.

Instantly, an infinite amount of beings appeared within this expanse. They all looked different and emanated different auras of incredible power.

They only had one thing in common, their name.

Lucius.

As the True Lucius stood above all the clones, all their knowledge and experience flooded his brain. Despite the infinite amount of information, his soul managed to process it in less than a microsecond, not even showing a sign of struggle.

"Everything went according to plan. That Kia girl is gonna be really useful." Calmly said, Lucius.

[True origin: Father of the heavens.]

Lucius cast this spell and immediately, all the clones turned into runes and gathered into a single point, a singularity.

As time passed, the singularity compressed as it simultaneously rapidly siphoned all the energy in its surroundings.

[True origin: Traitor of the heavens.]

The rate at which the singularity had been absorbing the energy became instantaneous, as it was all immediately absorbed by it.

In an instant, sources of energy that could fuel entire civilizations, disappeared.

[True origin: Glimpse of revelations.]

As soon as he cast this last spell something strange happened.

His body, soul, mind, existence, and even his terrific cultivation base were turned to runes and immediately fused with the singularity yet he was still standing just fine.

Not even a second later the same thing happened. This cycle continued for what seemed to be an eternity until the singularity was finally full.

Even with his existence having been devoured countless times ,Lucius stood as if nothing had happened, his expression being as stoic as it could get.

Without wasting time Lucius extended his arm and the singularity appeared in the palm of his hand.

"The last step."

[Birth of the Usurper.]

This time, he fully fused with the singularity.

Every single aspect of his was now part of the singularity that had now changed from an ethereal orb to a small infant.

Slowly but surely, another form of energy that didn't seem to previously exist within the expanse started to gather within Lucius' newborn heart.

...

Heavens.

Divine Palace-

Within the Divine Palace of the heavens, the mood was somber and dark.

The Ultimate Taboo had been committed, again. This was the second time anyone had ever committed this taboo.

Within a room that seemed to be filled with golden clouds and heavenly stars, a beautiful starry round table existed.

Around this table 7 seraphic angels sat, all looking at a single figure. This being looked like the embodiment of light, love, goodness, and positivity itself.

With long Blonde hair and an ethereal transparent skin full of slender muscles, his beauty was blinding.

His eyes stood out the most as they seemed to contain the hope of everything that existed, they burned with the passion and determination of all existing life.

"It's him again."

Shock filled the faces of the 7 seraphic kings as this announcement implicated too many things.

"H-…How?" Asked one of the kings, struggling to regain his calm and composure.

"It's not surprising. With his intellect, him surviving our assault should've been the expected outcome, he most likely tampered with our reasoning." Calmly said the ethereal man as a strange smile formed on his face.

"Brother Azrael, should we not be worried? I don't think father will ignore our failure this time."

"It does not matter what father thinks. His power is not absolute anymore as Life has Transcended the shackles of the divine."

"The only reason the heavens still exist is because they need us to keep the lower life forms in check since they cannot be bothered to do it."

"We have essentially become farmers. Funny isn't it?"

Normally, any angel that would've heard these words would've been fuming with rage, ready to battle it out with anyone.

But they were The seraphic Kings of virtue. They knew the truth behind their father and their race.

"An age of absolute Freedom is to come my brothers. An age with absolutely no limitations. Can you fathom how grand this is? Do you have any idea of how many monsters, legends, and Gods will be born during this age?"

"I cannot stay behind. I want to live and thrive during this era. If he did it then so can we. You all know what our true potential is, are you willing to leave it untouched here? Will you follow me ?"

These words contained shocking truths and secrets that could cause irreparable damage to existence, secrets so shocking it could overturn the current tides of existence.

Seraphic Angels. They were said to be the direct Creations of the Almighty father and the very rulers of heaven.

They were incomparable to celestials, who could only be considered as messengers of the heavens at best.

But the truth behind their origin was much darker.
