I don't have much to do, so I'll read another chapter of the book. I take it from the inventory to start reading, and as soon as I open it, I find myself in a new scenario.
"...???"
[Welcome to Chapter 2, you can call me Chapter 2 and I'll be your guide. Unlike Chapter 1, this chapter was made for you to experience it in a more realistic way.]
"So you...okay." The book created another false Aetheris, and I notice that I still have the things that Beelzebub placed in my body.
'Seriously...why did this come as well?'
"Where do I have to go...HOOOAAWWW." Suddenly we start to levitate and fly up to the sky.
[I'll take you to the place you should be.]
"P-Please warn me when you're going to do this kind of thing." He ignores me and continues flying while taking me, and soon we arrive at that city from Chapter 1.
"What do I have to see..." I was going to ask what we would see here, until I see the city being completely decimated by some kind of giant purple ray. The only remaining structure is the castle, and the entire area around the castle has been completely flattened.
"Who did this?"
[Aurora, after the war against the mutants, her kingdom no longer had inhabitants, so she decided to destroy it almost completely, but the castle is a relic and should not be broken from the outside, but from the inside.]
[She decided to leave the castle, but any other structure should be destroyed, because it lost its function.]
'A...relic...that castle.'
"What's the name of the castle?"
[Initially it was a common castle, but Aurora decided to transform it into a dimensional fortress called the [Castle of the Endless Night]. It is impossible to destroy it as long as the core exists.]
"..."
'The castle of the ancient civilization...it's the castle of the demon lords.' There's something I didn't expect.
He starts to move again towards the castle.
[Aurora can't see you, you should just observe.]
We enter the castle, and here inside I notice how similar it is to the castle where I am. The similarities are incredible, the small differences are mainly to reflect the owner's taste, like the paintings, most of which seem to be related to "Infinite" things.
Soon I see Aurora walking through the castle, and I follow her to see where she's going. She enters some secret passages to take a shortcut. We stay in this for a while until we reach somewhere I have no idea where it is.
"What is this sphere?" I see a giant sphere, it has an opaque purple color.
[Sins]
"Sins? What do you mean?"
[Aurora is trying to create something.]
"..."
"What does she want to create?"
[Something that won't die like her, something that can last for eternity, something that is immortal, in body, mind and soul.]
"She wants to create a person from scratch? But why did you say that what's in the sphere are sins?"
[The accumulated sins in the sphere were absorbed from all the inhabitants of the kingdom for years, this is one of the reasons why this place is a "Paradise" as the sins were constantly absorbed, the inhabitants could not "Sin" of course, there were still intrigues, but they were light things, the only ones who did not have their sins absorbed were the Gods.]
"So the reason this place was so happy...was because sins were non-existent?" This method of hers is in a way amazing, absorbing the sin of so many beings for years.
[Correct, without sins there were no wars, hunger and misery, since everyone was united and cooperated with each other.]
"But why couldn't Aurora prevent people from hating the mutants?" If she absorbed their sins, why did the "hatred" still exist.
[Look at the sphere, it's full. Aurora doesn't absorb the sins for herself, she sends them to a container, but the container is full, when it filled up, the function it had ended.]
"So everyone went back to sinning the moment the sphere was full?"
[Correct, now that everyone had the ability to sin, hatred spread, not just hatred against the mutants, but hatred of each other.]
"Why didn't Aurora make another container?"
[Because she judged it was not necessary, a certainty of life is the end, since the container was full, Aurora judged it was time to let the races follow their natural course or their inevitable end.]
"But what does this have to do with using the sins to create an immortal being?"
[The energy contained in the sphere is "Sins" but it doesn't just have that, as the sphere worked on the basis of Aurora's power, the sphere also absorbed part of Aurora's essence.]
[Such an event was a surprise to Aurora herself, the sins contained in the sphere were so great that Aurora's essence had to be used to suppress the sins in the sphere.]
"I didn't quite understand, but it seems amazing...but how is she going to use this?"
[Watch for yourself.]
"Sorry little one, I'll have to use you for a while," says Aurora as she holds some kind of small silver dragon.
[That dragon is a superior mutant dragon hatchling.]
Soon I see a small purple sphere forming in Aurora's hands, she places this sphere in the body of the small dragon, and immediately the large sphere containing the sins begins to shrink by 1/7.
"W-What did she do?" The little dragon writhes in pain, but its form changes slightly, and its gaze seems sharper.
[Aurora thought about how to use the sins containing her essence to create an immortal being, for that she looked for beings to infuse the sin along with her essence.]
"You will be called...Leviathan," Aurora says with a bright smile as she looks at the little dragon.
"...Leviathan...is that little dragon Leviathan?" I ask the void.
"Hey Chapter 2, what sin does that dragon carry?"
[That dragon named Leviathan by Aurora carries the sin of gluttony. Born from a mother who died recently, the young Leviathan was trapped in a cave, and to not starve to death, he began to consume his mother's corpse. In addition to being a mutant, he committed the sin of gluttony by devouring his own mother.]
[Aurora found him, and since he was young and carried a great sin, she deduced that he would be perfect to carry one of the 7 sins with her essence.]
"..."
'T-Impossible...Aurora created Leviathan...and the other 6 demon lords? Were they also created by Aurora? She did this?' My mind is confused by the revelation, knowing that Aurora created those monsters fills me with astonishment.
[Now we will follow Aurora's first failure.]
"First failure?" Time seems to accelerate as I see Aurora, she appears happy as she cares for Leviathan, they live together in the castle, and Aurora has as much care for him as if he were her own son.
Unlike the previous chapter, she seems to have found what she was looking for, a companion to accompany her, her relationship with Leviathan reminds me of my own with Aetheris.
They do everything together, playing games, sleeping together, eating together, Aurora tells him stories and gives him gifts.
[2 months have passed.]
"Already? I didn't even notice." 2 months have passed super fast.
Aurora is lying down with Leviathan until he writhes in pain, she wakes up with the movement and is surprised.
"L-Leviathan, are you okay?" She holds him desperately and runs somewhere with him, soon I follow to see, Leviathan seems to be very ill, it seems he's even going to die.
"Die...wait, if Aurora had succeeded, wouldn't Leviathan be immortal?"
[Exactly, this was the first failure, keep watching and you'll see.]
Soon she places Leviathan in a bed and begins to use magic, the bed must be some kind of relic since it absorbs magic, Leviathan is still writhing and screaming in pain.
Soon after, some kind of purple mist comes out of Leviathan and enters Aurora.
"Ah...a failure...I see..." Aurora says with a look of despair, Leviathan soon gets up completely fine, he jumps excitedly at Aurora and hugs her, but she doesn't react, she doesn't seem happy with his recovery.
She holds Leviathan and puts him on the ground, her eyes are dark as if all the hope Aurora had in Leviathan had died.
"What happened here?"
[Aurora's essence should not have been separated from her body, but her essence was separated to contain the sins. Now that the sins have a container that can withstand them, Aurora's essence no longer needs to hold the sins, so it has returned to her.]
"That means that without this essence...Leviathan cannot truly be immortal."
[Correct, at the moment Leviathan fully carries the sin of Gluttony, but has 0% of Aurora's essence. Naturally, Leviathan is a faulty product that will die someday.]
'Chapter 2 is so cold, referring to someone as a faulty product is terrible.' Soon the time accelerates and shows the interactions between Leviathan and Aurora, now those lively and happy interactions will change completely.
Aurora simply doesn't seem happy, Leviathan does everything to cheer her up but she just doesn't care, that hopeful look she had when she looked at Leviathan is gone, replaced by the cold indifference with which she looks at others.
"Haaaaah get out of here, I'm not in the mood," she takes a deep breath and speaks to Leviathan in a not very polite way.
Leviathan doesn't give up and still tries to cheer up Aurora, she seems more and more irritated with each of Leviathan's attempts to cheer her up.
"..."
"Raoaar" Leviathan gives a soft roar as he drags something to Aurora, it seems to be a gift that Aurora had given to Leviathan during the time they spent together.
'A plush...' Seeing Leviathan acting this way makes me feel strange, he doesn't even seem like that Leviathan who raped me, he reminds me a lot of Aetheris, he acts exactly the same as Aetheris acts towards me.
"GET OUT OF HERE YOU USELESS FAILURE, I ALREADY SAID I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS." Aurora finally reached her limit, she turns the plush into ashes while the entire castle trembles, as if all the dimensions and separate spaces that make up this castle are collapsing.
"WHY DO YOU STILL TRY, WHY DON'T YOU JUST DISAPPEAR, I DON'T NEED A FAILURE THAT WILL LAST AT MOST A FEW MILLENNIA." She says, leaving through the door and slamming it hard, she slammed the door so hard that the walls collapsed.
"..."
"Wiung Winug" The little Leviathan trembles with fear and sadness, tears stream down the little dragon's eyes, he who is as smart as Aetheris understood very well what Aurora said to him.
'A failure...' Since Leviathan will die someday, he doesn't meet the requirements to be someone special to Aurora.
I observe as the little Leviathan cries, in a way this hurts my heart, this little Leviathan is not the same one who raped me, so he didn't deserve to hear these things.
"What will Leviathan do?"
[Nothing, dragons are very loyal beings. Leviathan chose Aurora to be the person to whom he is loyal, even if Aurora hates him, he will never hate Aurora, and even if someday Leviathan loves another person, he will never forget Aurora.]
[Just like your dragon, the Aetheris you mentioned, if he has offered his loyalty to you, he will never abandon you even if you abandon him. The loyalty of dragons is so high that if you decide to kill the dragon that has offered you loyalty, he will let himself be killed rather than attack or flee.]
"Can you take me to Aurora?"
[Of course.]
Soon we arrive where Aurora is, she is in a completely messed up room, all the furniture is broken, and Aurora is sitting in the middle of the room in a meditation posture, her face is so calm that it doesn't even seem like she was angry, although tears are visible.
"What is she doing?"
[She's using magic to destroy some random place, she doesn't want to destroy this castle, so she went to an inhospitable planet to destroy it, so you could say her conscience is in another place while her body is here.]
'This is the most violent outburst of anger I've ever seen...' I sit next to Aurora to wait a little.
