Let me tell you a tale. Once there was nothing only darkness and nothingness existed. Darkness and nothingness stayed in their place until one day the creator made Light, Life, Night, Death, and time. The Mother of Demons we're made with other Gods and creatures.
There was a huge fight between them for power. The darkness and nothingness didn't care about it and they didn't participate in the war. No one could touch them since they were an old and stronger entity. They didn't need the highest ranking, they knew no one could touch them. When the war ended the God war became superior.
They played with humans as they pleased. One snap and they die. No one can touch them, because they are Gods. They made humans their puppets and let them run wild. When they felt like they were rebelling they would clean the world and begin a new cycle of entrainment.
They made holy books so people worship them and pray for them. They did a good job of distracting to follow the path of the creator. Now all humans do is to entertain them.
Sadly humans are utter fools. Only a few came out of the trap but they were not immortals so they had to lose their knowledge But is it worth it when the mind can be controlled easily? You know well.
...
Once darkness fades away Zebulon finds himself in a large room with smoke on the floor engulfing his feet. There are pillars around him in a circle while a throne is in front of him. There sat a lady, a beautiful lady angelic beauty and wings behind her. Goddess. Zebulon didn't find Jade with him but he could feel her, putting him at ease.
"Welcome young boy. What would you do to please the most beautiful lady that's me?" The Goddess asked.
"You are trash," said Zebulon."Trash should destroyed. You are ugly by the way."
The Goddess narrowed her eyes at him. Zebulon gazed around trying to make sense of where Jades was. The Goddess didn't like the disrespect.
"Who are you trying to find when the goddess is sitting in front of you?" she asked.
"Finding my Goddess. Where is she?" Zebulon question.
"You mean that girl. She will die soon."
"Seems like you have too many misunderstandings in your empty brain. Beauty without a brain is useless."
"Watch your mouth kid or I will kill her in front of you."
"You will be dead before it happens."
"Too arrogant."
"I am confident in her abilities and mine too"
The goddess laughed with no humor in her tone. He was supposed to be like other humans, beg her so he could please her, but he wasn't as she thought. His beauty had attracted her, she wouldn't let him go until he pleased her. She approaches him with a smile, Zebulon takes his sword out making her halt. The Goddess glared at him.
Zebulon didn't pay her any attention. His sole focus is on finding Jade, he can't feel her anymore. Zebulon didn't like the situation he was in.
The Goddess snapped her fingers and a dead body of jade covered in blood fell in front of him. Zebulon stared at the Goddess thinking how dumb she was. Zebulon knows this isn't Jade's body but an illusion.
"Tch, looking down on me won't lead you anywhere," Zebulon remarks Calming the anger down inside him. The Goddess snapped and took a huge form, her golden light surrounded her. A wand in her palm. Zebulon looked at her bored. She attacked him with her mana which Zebulon vanished off with his sword. The Goddess looked at him astonished. Raising her full power she attacked him again. Zebulon jumped off and landed on her throne.
"I would love to play with you but I need to find Jade first." Said Zebulon pointing his finger at her.
"Nonsense, you would never win against a Goddess."
"Come on useless show me how weak you are."
The Goddess raged and attacked him with all her powers. Zebulon smiled and vanished the Goddess forever just like that.
Once she is gone the illusions break off and he finds himself back in the temple in front of Jade who looks fine. Zebulon smiled at her.
Jade breathed out in relief finding him alive. Before they can talk the temple shakes making both of them grab each other hand and run out of the temple. The temple pillars fell behind them while they ran outside. Jade already used a lot of mana so teleporting seems like not an option. Zebulon stopped her and held her his his arms. With that, he ran out quickly making out alive. Once he got out he put Jade on the ground. They stare behind them as the temple crashes down with the preachers running out. No one seems injured. Jade gazed back at Zebulon with exhaustion hitting her.
"What will Emperor do if he finds out what we did just now?" asked Jade.
"Are you okay Jade?" Zebulon asked her instead.
"Yes, I am perfectly fine," Jade responded groggily. Zebulon didn't believe her. Jade wanted to reassure him but dizziness hit her and her knees weakened. Zebulon wrapped his arm around his waist and hugged her as she got unconscious. He patted her cheek.
"Jade, hey." He called her out.
Getting no response he held her up and got her back into the imperial palace. He lay her down on his bed and tried to heal her. Lost in his work he didn't notice the presence of Emperor Zoltan until he spoke up.
"I never thought I would see a day with you bringing a girl in your chambers. And it's Aide." Said Emperor. Zebulon gazed up and rolled his eyes.
"Heal her." Said Zebulon.
"You said to let me allow a person to fight a tournament with a promise of not disappointing me so I will Besides I like her."
Zolten pressed his palm on Jade's forehead and healed her. Once he was done, Zebulon plopped down on the bed beside her. Today was a very different and irritating one. Zolten glances at Zebulon and then at Jade.
"What did you two do?" Zolten asked.
"Don't ask me anything. You will know about it soon." Zebulon respond.
The emperor didn't get a chance to ask since Zebulon dozed off beside Jade. With a sigh, Zolten covered them in a blanket after removing their shoes. Zebulon was his favorite but seems like he will have one more favorite.
"It feels like I know you but it can't be possible," Zolten whispered while looking at Jade. "Sleep well, kids."
The emperor left them and headed towards the royal garden. A guard approaches him before he can enjoy his peace.
"Your Majesty. The temple is destroyed," said Gaurd.
The zolten smile fades as he realizes what Zebulon and Jade did.
...
On the other side, Jade finds herself in a similar place but in front of him is a man with a sharp beauty. Jade felt Zebulon nearby but it was faint.
"Who are you?" Jade questioned the man.
"God." He said with a firm voice. "Bow down to me."
"The one Lord I believe in is my dad otherwise I am a non-believer," Jade responds. God wasn't supposed to be like this she thought.
"I can vanish you into nothing. I can get rid of your father."
"You can try." Jade shrug.
God titled his head an amused expression fell on his face. The surroundings turned red. Jade felt the shift and prepared herself for the fight. Her darkness enveloped her. She saw God in his large form, he raised his fist and hit her. Jade jumped away. A hand hit her from the back knocking her on the ground. Jade stood up fast.
"You think you can defeat me, you are nothing but insects in front of me," God yelled. Jade rolled her eyes not liking how things were escalating.
"I guess you are the Evil God Dad talked about," Jade muttered.
She let the whole darkness engulf her. The darkness rose in the place surprising God. He never felt this before. Jade took her monstrous form leaving nothing of her but only Dark. God didn't like it and he didn't feel good. He hit her with rays of light which burned Jade. God's power isn't something to to taken lightly, but it amused Jade. She tried to feel Zebulon but now she couldn't feel him anymore. There is knowing inside her telling her he is alive and safe but she couldn't help and feel anger surfacing up. All the anger she didn't get a chance to take out. The anger she never felt rose inside her. She was a calm child but let me tell you the calm children have ave the most terrifying things locked inside them.
Jade took a deep breath and calmed herself down. God attacked her with his powers. Jade's darkness absorbed it giving her a more monstrous form. God didn't like her powers. Jade didn't give him another chance and engulfed the whole arena in darkness. Grabbing the God by his neck she punched him with her destruction mana making him fall on the ground destroying his place. The god broadened and attacked her with all of his power. It hits Jade drawing her mana out of her.
"The Ruler of the eternal darkness," Jade said hitting god with all her mana. God Shield himself and chuckled laughing at her attempts. Millions of swords dug behind his back making him groan in pain. Jade's power broke his shield attacking him. Jade chuckles wickedly.
"Like I said there is one god for me my father. And you are nothing in front of him." She said.
"Ultimate destruction." Jade smiled at the God enduring the pain. Before he can think Jade's power hits him and he vanishes with the pain he never experienced.
