As his time cloak dissipated Adrian felt a portion of his abilities stagnate but, upon closer inspection over 45% of his power had been sealed.
Quickly Adrian noticed even his efficiencies had dropped.
Within the second of this realization, Adrian quickly flooded the space between him and the farthest monument from him while memorizing the location of the last in case he loses his senses or teleportation.
As he teleported to the third monument Adrian arrived in a dried lake bed with thousands of runes spreading across the ground coalescing around a small indent in its center.
With only 40 seconds before what Adrian could only assume would be his end, Adrian grabbed an orb from his chest before throwing it like it was the world's fastest baseball in the world.
In an instant, the orb landed directly in the indention before its energy started to spread through the runes that ran across the ground.
The instant Adrian had thrown the orb was the exact same time he tore space and teleported to the final monument.
But, once he had arrived his body dropped to the ground as he felt 75% of his abilities had stagnated cutting him off completely from all of his supernatural abilities leaving only his body and oppressively weak efficiencies.
Having experienced major event after event his body was completely exhausted while his mind felt sluggish without his efficiencies Adrian's body and mind were completely depleted.
As Adrian was moments away from passing out three things forced his body to respond and push forward.
First, Sakura's encouraging voice yelled at him, ~Get up!~
Second, Dee stabbed Adrian's mind jolting him awake.
Third, a message threateningly reminding him, [Time 36 seconds remaining]
With almost zombie-like motions Adrian dragged his exhausted body overwhelmed by his unhampered senses, onto a rune-inscribed tree laced with golden leaves.
When his body made contact with the tree the final orb in his possession melted through his clothes dripping onto the tree.
In that instant Adrian felt that 99% of his existence had been sealed, causing him to lose all connections with Sakura, Dee, the systems, and his energies, and even forcefully reconnecting his soul to his body.
As the runes across the tree lit up a dazzling light shot into the sky connecting all the monuments causing all four locations to split apart opening a passageway with a simple message suspended above them.
It read, [Authoryian Vault]
None of this mattered as Adrian couldn't even see any messages currently however he did notice two silhouettes of a bird and fox appear briefly before he blacked out.
Once Adrian passed out the two silhouettes transformed into white and purple flames respectively before diving into his body.
[Two entities have abdicated their divinity returning to their original state.]
Quickly time ticked by before…
[10…9…8…]
[3…2…1…]
[0… Returners allowed entry]
As soon as the message's slow scrawl stopped, four portals appeared at the barrier.
When Seal, Demon, Eve, and Gramps appeared all four of their powers intertwined, increasing each of their phenomena exponentially engulfing the entire wasteland before even light could land on their forms.
In an instant, the once barren wastelands' sky had given rise to a crimson sky and necrotic sun. The horizon filled with dull mist, as the ground was filled with skeletal remains scattered across a bountiful garden landscape.
With such a scene Cursed Writer was convinced that this incarnation of Adrian was doomed.
But, contrary to such a belief the four inconceivably powerful beings appeared before Adrian and started talking amongst themselves after excluding the area around them from their manifestation phenomenon.
Seal was the first to speak up saying, "Before we do anything I want each of your thoughts."
In response Demon seriously exclaimed, "After this place was made for them this one was the first to pull all four orbs. I believe that he stands the greatest chance of completing our goal."
Quickly Eve chimed in, "For once I agree with Demon… But, I have to add the fact that his absolute control over his techniques and ability to implement new abilities seamlessly without any practice makes him on par with even Madam Seal."
After a moment of contemplation Gramps slowly stated, "While his talents and control are perfect and his execution of each area has been flawless so far… he did fail to even this trial."
After pausing for emphasis Gramps continued saying, "And, no matter our feelings… According to the rules he should be exterminated and we should wait for the next incarnation."
Staring into Seal's eyes, Gramps finally added, "But, I guess that's not what you want to hear, is it Seal…"
Seal only looked at Adrian's shadow and asked, "And what are you two's opinions?"
The other three were confused for a second before a small white bird fluttered from Adrian's shadow quickly followed by a glistening white fox.
The two clumsily kneeled before Seal as they exchanged glances before the pudgy bird stepped forward chirping out their answer in a series of long and short chirps.
While it may have been ordinary chirping to most, Seal heard, "We may be biased as Master saved us before… but, I-We want him to live."
"Oh, and, his abilities are many fold what any of you could see. His memories actively cut out the full extent of what he used to be capable of before his body was broken…"
"You people left him to suffer in that void until our universe died. I'm thankful for that as we gained our old power to bring him back… but, you have caused him so much pain already… Please let him live and find happiness."
Hearing about what happened to Adrian everyone present on both the island and in Nexus Entertainment was shocked.
A soul had survived for trillions upon trillions of trillions of years with only memory loss and in the void at that.
Quickly they all gazed at Adrian with admiration and pity.
But, suddenly a thought crossed their mind, 'If Adrian was in the void until now… the soul island they were on now couldn't be in the cycle of rebirth… Soon only one other place came to mind [The Sea of Souls] the residence of Demi, the original, Demi Shattered…'
