Somewhere in the far reaches of the universe, unknown to all, a grand palace stood magnificent and graceful like a great apocalyptic beast crouching down ready to spring forward and devour the entirety of existence.
"The gates of nothingness has been open, the ruler of the shadows must be found."
A splendid voice boomed shaking the palace to its core. Soon after streaks of black light could be seen zooming out of the palace to carry out the orders. On further inspection one could see that they were all like the silhouette from the dreamlike place.
"Master!!" A silhouette rushed in and kowtowed beneath a grand throne but perplexingly there was nothing on the throne.
"Speak." The voice once again sounded.
"I found that thing during my journey back from the chthonian."
"You mean... that?"
"Yes master, but It was located in a parallel space so I couldn't retrieve it."
"Speak what kind of place is that, an ordinary parallel space wouldn't have been enough to stop you."
"Yes indeed, it was a newborn parallel dimension, the forces of chaos were still active making it hard for even the lowliest of lowlife to enter, only by using shadow sacrifice was I temporarily able to feign as a mortal and enter but even then I was left badly wounded and had to leave quickly."The silhouette replied exquisitely removing the part about Von for some reason.
"I see.... you should recover first and then claim your reward this is a great contribution."
"Thank you master."
"Master, what is with the commotion, has junior sister been found? "
"Sadly not, the gate of nothing has been reopened and a new ruler has been born. She is probably dead now."
"I see." the silhouette said sadness reflecting deep.within his eyes.

The cracks on Von's black eye continued to spread, finally it burst but instead of splattering all around, it turns into a spinning cloudy mass of shadows, dark mist slowly seeped out of the eye entering his nostrils and pores which it greedily sucked in.
Black veins reappeared all over his skin but he was as still as a rock. The veins ran along his entire body, not even his hair and nails where spared, he was undergoing a metamorphosis as every cell was being frequently destroyed and rebuilt.
His other eye once again showed significant changes as the black and red power clashed. The black power soon devoured the red turning the red eye black, but when it encountered the purple it seemed to shrink back a little leaving both eyes black, one totally while the other had a purple iris.
After another indefinite amount of time, he finally showed signs of awakening.
"BOOM!"
An opressive wave of power was let out as he opened his eyes, but as if feeling something threatening it quickly withdrew.
He got up and looked at the mirror, cracking a smirk. He had changed yet again, his height was now a whooping 7 feet tall, his nails outgrown and pitch black. His hair had now grown to touch his waist, his physique had also changed but not too substantial, outwardly it only looked more chiseled and alluring.
His demeanor was no longer depressing but was rather overbearing and he had an empyrean aura about him.
