Meanwhile, Grey unknowingly went too deep into the meditation state and his soul slipped through the spatial crack.
'aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh' with my soul traveling there at a very high speed. my blood-curdling screams echoed through the space as if the sound could travel in space.
In that harrowing moment, I felt as if I were being torn apart by unseen forces. The sensation of falling into an abyss was overwhelming, and I couldn't grasp onto anything to steady myself. It was as if the very fabric of reality had unraveled beneath me.
As I hurtled through the spatial crack, my surroundings shifted with incomprehensible speed. Realities flickered like fragmented dreams, each one distinct and yet eerily connected. The colors, shapes, and dimensions of these realms twisted and contorted in ways that defied earthly logic.
In one moment, I found myself suspended in a world of perpetual twilight. The skies above me were a mesmerizing tapestry of swirling galaxies, their cosmic dance both beautiful and intimidating. Strange beings, luminous and ethereal, floated by, their forms ever-shifting as they paid me no heed.
Without warning, I was thrust into another reality, this time submerged in a realm of liquid light. It was as if I had become a part of a living, pulsating ocean of luminescence. The sensation was both soothing and disorienting, like being adrift in a sea of pure energy.
In the next instant, I was surrounded by towering crystalline structures that stretched into infinity. Each facet of these crystalline monoliths seemed to contain a universe of its own, and I could feel the weight of their ancient wisdom pressing upon me.
Reality continued to unravel, and I was propelled through more realms. In one, I floated among colossal celestial beings, their forms composed of stars and galaxies. They communicated through vibrations of light and sound that resonated through my very essence.
Then, I found myself in a place where time had lost all meaning. Past, present, and future converged into a chaotic whirlpool. I witnessed events that had transpired, those unfolding, and others yet to come. It was a maddening glimpse into the tapestry of causality.
With each transition, I could feel my consciousness expanding, and my understanding of existence deepening. It was as if the boundaries of my being were dissolving, and I was becoming a part of the multiverse itself. The fear that had initially gripped me began to ebb, replaced by a profound sense of awe and wonder.
Amidst this kaleidoscope of realities, I had no control, no means of navigation. I was at the mercy of the cosmic currents that propelled me forward. It was as if I were a leaf caught in a storm, carried along by forces beyond my comprehension.
But then, amid this chaotic journey, a voice reached out to me. It sounded calm and soothing amidst the madness. As the tumultuous journey through the maelstrom of realities threatened to overwhelm my senses, the voice, like a beacon of serenity, reached out to me. It resonated with a profound calmness amidst the swirling chaos, guiding me like a lifeline through the cosmic tempest.
The voice spoke with a soothing cadence that seemed to resonate with the very essence of my being. "Focus, Grey," it whispered gently, its words carrying the weight of cosmic wisdom. "Let go of the fear and uncertainty. Find your center amidst the storm". With each word, the voice seemed to pull me closer, its presence radiating a sense of maternal warmth and reassurance. It asked me to concentrate on the voice, and as I tried to reach that voice, I could see someone giving off motherly vibes. She beckoned me to come towards her, and suddenly, the ever-changing background came to a halt.
In a moment, I was pulled back from the maelstrom of realities. I woke up in a room, nestled on a cozy futon. The room was crafted from wood and had an aesthetic charm to it. As I stood up and approached the door, it was suddenly opened by someone. It was her, the one who had guided me out of that madness.
Upon seeing me, she asked with concern, "How are you feeling now, little Grey? Do you have a headache or feel nauseous?"
I replied with gratitude, "Thank you for saving me earlier, and no, I don't feel any of those. I am completely fine."
She breathed a sigh of relief and introduced herself, "Well, that's good. I'm Parvati, Goddess of Power and Motherhood, Wife of Shiva. You can call me mother, little Grey."
I was stunned by the revelation. She was Goddess Parvati herself, standing right in front of me. Did that mean I had succeeded? Before I could finish my thoughts, she said, "Little Grey, my husband wants to see you. Freshen up and go to him. Everything is set in the backyard."
With a gentle pat on my head, she left the room, leaving me in a state of wonder and anticipation. What awaited me in the presence of Lord Shiva? It was a question that hummed in the back of my mind as I prepared to meet the divine.
As I stood there in awe of Goddess Parvati's presence, the weight of her revelation hung in the air. She was no ordinary person; she was a deity, a goddess of immense power and significance. What could have possibly led me to this moment? The questions swirled in my mind like a tempest, but there was little time for contemplation.
With her gentle pat on my head, Goddess Parvati left the room, her graceful departure imbuing me with a sense of purpose and anticipation. Freshening up quickly, I couldn't help but wonder what awaited me in the presence of Lord Shiva, the mighty god of destruction and transformation.
The backyard of their divine abode was a breathtaking sight to behold. Lush gardens flourished with flowers of every imaginable color, and celestial beings moved about in harmonious choreography. The air itself seemed to thrum with otherworldly energy, and the very ground I walked upon felt sacred.
Amidst this ethereal beauty, Lord Shiva awaited me, seated in a tranquil alcove. His form radiated a sense of timeless wisdom and profound serenity. As I approached him, my heart pounded with a mixture of reverence and curiosity.
With a graceful inclination of his head, Lord Shiva acknowledged my presence. His voice, when he spoke, was like the rumbling of distant thunder, both powerful and calming. "Little Grey," he said, his gaze penetrating to the depths of my soul, "you have embarked on a path that few mortals dare to tread. The power of death and darkness is both a potent and perilous force."
I nodded, my determination unwavering. "I understand, Lord Shiva. It has been my deepest desire to master this power, to use it to protect my loved ones."
Lord Shiva's eyes held a deep understanding. "Very well, Grey. I shall guide you in your pursuit but know that the path you seek is one of profound introspection and enlightenment. You will walk the edge between creation and destruction, and it will test your spirit."
He explained that for the coming 1 year, he would be my mentor and guide, imparting the knowledge and wisdom needed to harness the power I sought. After that, it would be my responsibility to continue the journey on my own.
With a gentle smile, Lord Shiva continued, "You are no longer an orphan, Grey. Parvati and I have adopted you into our divine family. You need not return to the orphanage. We shall be your family now."
I was overwhelmed by the warmth of his words and the sense of belonging that washed over me. "Thank you, Father," I replied, a sense of gratitude filling my heart.
Lord Shiva's eyes held a twinkle of amusement as he continued, "Before we begin, there are matters to attend to. You should complete any unfinished business in your heart today, for tomorrow, at the dawn, our journey begins."
He then proceeded to recount the events of the previous day, including the interference of Indra and the protective presence of Ganga. It became clear that their influence had played a pivotal role in guiding me to this moment.
As Lord Shiva concluded, he gave me a knowing look. "There is someone you should thank, Grey, for she has watched over you with a mother's love and protection."
I understood Lord Shiva's implication, and with a heart full of gratitude, I made my way to meet Ganga. After some time, I finally reached the banks of the river Ganga. It was more magnificent than any geography book could ever describe.
As I stood there, mesmerized by the scenery, a melodious voice caught my attention. "Well, if it isn't my cute nephew who came to visit his aunt."
I turned around and saw a radiant figure standing before me. It was Ganga herself, her form resplendent and divine. Her eyes sparkled with maternal warmth as she regarded me.
With a humble bow, I greeted her, "Devi Ganga, I cannot express how grateful I am for your protection and guidance. You saved me from the clutches of Indra, and I owe you my deepest thanks."
Ganga's laughter flowed like the gentle ripple of water. "There is no need for such formalities, my dear. You are like family to us now."
I couldn't help but smile at her words, feeling a sense of belonging that I had never experienced before. "Thank you, Aunt Ganga. Your presence has been a blessing in my life."
Ganga's gaze turned thoughtful, and she stepped closer. "As a token of my affection and to ensure your well-being, I grant you a boon, Grey. As long as you are in or very near a water body, your ability to heal will be greatly enhanced. The waters shall be your sanctuary and source of rejuvenation."
I was deeply touched by her generosity and the significance of her gift. With utmost sincerity, I thanked her from the depths of my heart. "I Thank the Devi Ganga. Your boon means the world to me, and I shall cherish it always."
Ganga's smile held a world of wisdom as she patted my head gently. "Remember, my child, that the rivers and waters of the world carry not only life but also the secrets of the universe. May this boon serve you well on your journey."
With her blessing, I felt a newfound sense of strength and purpose. As I prepared to leave the banks of the sacred Ganga, I knew that I carried not only her boon but also the love and protection of a divine family who had welcomed me into their midst. With that, I bid farewell to her and left the vicinity. As soon I left her presence I heard a familiar cold voice which I did not hear all this time.

'Wow, both of the passives are in effect all the time,' I thought to myself, 'which means that I have little edge when facing beings with normal healing factors.' as I was feeling satisfied with my gains, I sensed multiple magical presences. It is not near me but rather from the shadow ninjas I left at Arya's place.
'Fu*k!!!' I cursed. The sensation of multiple magical presences from the shadow ninjas at Arya's place sent a jolt of concern through me. Without hesitation, I morphed into my eclipse form I raced across the snowy terrain of the mountains, each step guided by determination and the urgency of the situation.
My thoughts raced as I considered the possible threats that could be looming over Arya, My first friend in this world since my reincarnation.
