Unfortunately for Jason, and the duplicate, the damage output was indeed obscenely powerful. So much that indeed, weaker gods would fail to respond to protect themselves. But they failed to take into consideration the required time for the domain warp to take place. And however little the time was, it was enough for the stella nightmare to grab the duplicate's corpse by its collars, and powerfully yanked it towards the sky, with all the force it could call forth within its body. "..." The duplicate's corpse flew through the air at insane speed, cutting through space and instantly arriving outside the influence of the world of stella. And here, one could see clouds that stretched over vast distances. Clouds that stretched out for Infinite distances, with multiple worlds similar to the one that the novaks reside within, anchored on them. Some large, some small, some above, some below, some on the sides. Countless worlds were anchored and connected by the endless clouds that stretch
Within the unique mini world, a completely different one from where Jason's doppelganger and the others teleported to. A world anchored amongst the stars within the endless white clouds. The Ancient Temple of Stars. Jason walked towards the dilapidated temple behind him, appraising the beauty and elegance of the building. Be it the cracks that slithered around the many pillars like snakes, or the moss on it's aged visage, it's beauty still stood strong. It was something he's never before seen. And adding on the beauty of the verdant grass around him, it gave out an aged presence of divinity. And before him, was a doorway that went in for three to five meters, with a width of two meters. It's design being unique, as there were small and thin pillars on both sides, a distance of a meter between them. And in between each pillar, was a glass of a different color, cracked up and ravaged by the storm of time, creating a passage into the temple. But that was not all. From there, one wou
The Universe. This was a concept above the understanding of most, if not all races within the records of Doomsday or the Apocalypse. Despite some having numerical descriptions of its overall size. Despite some have image data of its overall beauty. And Despite some exploring it throughout their lifetimes. None managed to explore this concept to its full capacity. No one had complete understanding of what the Universe meant. None... except a race of overly powerful entities born out of the Universal Laws themselves, and given great authority over existence. And these entities... were called by many names. They were revered gods by those in search of a greater power above everything. Considered creators to those they created. Or perhaps celestials to the supernatural races of the world. This race had grasped a portion of the power of the Universe, and were able to pull at its influence, hence standing above all, in might, beauty and elegance. Be it the descendents of the Inferna
Jason and number two stood not too far away from Beatrice, as they awaited her response. A response pertaining to something the both of them were greatly curious about. One, due to his selfish desire to know and understand the situation of his mother, and to also prove humanity's greatest wonder. And the other, due to trying to verify the extent to whether their judgment about these two, was correct. "I'm sorry big brother, I was unable to call out to God. Perhaps I did not pray enough?" Beatrice shyly lowered her head as she responded. She felt bad at potentially disappointing Jason, whilst also not being devout enough. "It's, its fine, Bee. It's really fine. It's just that..." But Jason himself thought otherwise. Beatrice definitely had a strong connection with God, there was no doubt about it. Her talent was a clear testimony to that. Hence the only logical solution would be that... God doesn't exist within the Celestial Plane. Either than
My... mother? Those words struck his heart with different kinds of heavy emotions, so much so that, he didn't understand them himself. He couldn't put them to words, but there was anger, guilt, sadness deep within. "My... my mother... No, pause, pause." He took a deep breathe of air to slightly calm himself down, yet the attempt was futile. He had no grasp over these feelings, as they immediately took ahold of him instead. "What, what relations does it have with my mother? No, what relation does my mother have with God?! Hey, Bee, ask it, ask it. Hurry!!" He grasped the shoulders of the young girl, slightly jerking her back and forth as he asked. Yet he was unaware that he subconsciously raised his tone at her, shocking the two girls greatly. "Bi–Big brother, please calm down. Please calm down... It, it says that it's a secret that we are not meant to... to know." And Beatrice responded back with a similar shout. "Hey hey, stop it, Jason!! You will hurt her!!" Number two also unc
Jason felt the world blur. No, to him, everything was just blury. He couldn't really focus on a single aspect, and see it for what it was. It was a strange feeling. A one of kind one at that. But just as he was about to panic, he felt his vision, slowly but steadily, switch from blury to clear. Everything was having clear shapes and forms, and their colors became distinctive. "Where... is this..?" He wondered, as finally, his vision was back to tip top condition. In fact, he was able to see twenty times better than the average human eye. But even then, it still took quite a while for him to properly discern the environment he found himself in. "Is this... a hospital? Strange. Why does it look familiar to me..?" He thought out loud in wonder. His intelligence was very much high, and it allowed him to quickly grasp his situation. Hence despite just waking up, he still knew that he was here to find answer, and that this might all just be a dream. Yet that aside, where, in this drea
I... always liked the child version of you better. He never gave me much trouble, and wasn't always trying to kill himself looking for answers to unnecessary questions." She said, softly chuckling to herself once more. "But since I could not watch you die, I still had to choose the current you, over this little one. And thus, that created this loop we find ourself in." She added, her chuckling dying down. "It was either I saved you, and neglect him. Or watch you die, and raise him. The choice was hard." "Choosing the latter option, would mean that I was raising you for nothing, as you would later die on your journey. Just the thought of that, always haunted me." "And, at the end of the day... weren't you both my babies? Weren't you both the same person just from two different time points?" Her tone became bitter as she continued to speak. Jason stood aside and just lent her his ears. That was the least he could do for her at the moment, as she
It's been two hours since Jason's doppelganger took everyone here, at the other side of Stella's temple of Stars, left behind by its owner. Throughout this two hours, not much had occurred. Not much interactions, nor activities were pulled off, as most people chose to rest themselves, mentally, and physically. Some even spiritually. They had to rest their belief in the goddess that has yet to respond to their cries, and just focus on themselves. Thus everything was silent. On one side, there was Roy leaning behind a broken rock slab, while burying his head within his knees. He was far away from the others, be it the humans, or the novaks. On the other side, was Joe sitting within an open space, with Adolf by his side. The man's condition was still as bleak as always. Anabella was tending to her trusty magical gun, Bella's Charm, cleaning and learning more about it. She was even close to dismantling it, and putting it back up together. Unfortunately, it wasn't her weapon. The no
He snapped his fingers, and above his palms, a white crystal appeared. Pure white, and radiant in nature, it dwarfed any normal jewel or crystal the two have ever seen within their life. "This is..." Anabella exclaimed, as she felt her blood boil at the appearance of the crystal, with her breathe slowly hastening. 'What... What's going on with my body..?!?!' She panicked. "Calm down. This is a shard of divinity, exactly what you're looking for to exceed your current Rank and mortality." Jason saw through her sudden excitement and panic, as he decided to calm her down, then went back to appraising the shard of divinity closely. [ Shard of Divinity ] [ Rank :- 20 (Deity-Low) ] [ Function :- A rare graded treasure, that is obtained from Higher Worlds or from Planes above worlds, or from divine beings killed. It can be used with, and within anything, having high Affinity with almost all things within the Universe. The higher its rank, the higher the Affinity with Existence. Can act a
A question that was not much of a question at all. It felt like a command. And hearing that she would grow even stronger, Anabella felt dread invade her nerves. Just ranking up three times gave her a sense of great power, let alone when she went as far as to Rank up six times!! She dreaded the idea, but went forth with it nonetheless. "Uh, ye–yes, right away." Anabella, though even more confused and frightful, still did as ordered, and ranked herself up again. And this time, it was the first time she went through six Ranks at the same time. No, nine ranks, including the prior three ranks from Rank 9 to Rank 12. The changes to her mentality? Were great. [ TING~ ] [ You have spent 101,250 units of Energy Essence to promote yourself towards the next three ranks ] [ An achievement made!! Congratulations for being one of the top 100 humans to reach Rank 18 first –all your stats have increased by ten points each ] "Oh?" Anabella paused in shock, letting out a light exclaim at the
The true clone was having a conversation with Felix, trying to learn more about the opponents it had to take out before facing the big boss, Fein the demonic deity himself. And the conversation was just beginning to take place, when a sea of notifications made an entrance, detailing an inclusion of a high element into the conversion process. Just like how the creation of the demonic undeads had the inclusion of Constell, or rather now known as Daemon, the corrupted greater god of constellations and destiny's bloodline, made them a demonic variant of undeads. This time, the inclusion was a fragment of divinity. The true clone briefly glanced through the notifications, and the choices the Jason, within the "Temple of Stars", had chosen t
But what would the death gods do even if Jason swore onto their name and divinity? Nothing, and he knew that too. They had no access to his destination, and they all knew their incarnations would be easily destroyed when sent down. Hence they could only swallow up their pride, pretend they heard nothing of such, and respond to his genuine concern. And sure thing, a response quickly came. The same introduction as always appeared before it, and the true clone smiled, continuing to read through more red tinted notifications that flashed by. The true clone paused, and briefed through the notifications once again. It went through t
[ TING~ ] [ 25% of the obtained units of energy essence have been transfered to your party members, and is shared equally amongst them ] [ TING~ ] [ 25% of the obtained units of energy essence have been transfered to your demonic undeads, and is shared equally amongst them ] 50% of its energy essence... gone!! The true clone reread through the notifications that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but sigh. 'I forgot about these guys, and their presence. Well... honestly, this alone is still enough to last me far longer than I can presume.' It thought to itself. Fifteen million units of energy essence was still a lot to have. Even when including the fact that Jason required seven times more energy essence than others to Rank himself up. It was still enough. 'I bet this is enough to take me all the way towards the rank of semi-higher beings, or the likes. Maybe even beyond that level.' It thought, a smiling etching itself on its face. And taking into consideration the fact th
From his deduction, the Cypressian Lord would not survive for the next coming ten seconds. By then, it would truly be dead, regardless of how much of a struggle it puts on. "What can I say? I'm just every false god's living nightmare." The true clone responded with pride, sighing in relief as it's bet and calculation took place perfectly as calculated. After all, taking down eighty million points of Vitality was not something easy to do. Not even for itself. Next time, [Fenrir's Rage] would be excluded, since the raging special effect was not of much use to it. 'If it wasn't for the "Black Gloves" and the fifth grade blessing of the [White Shadow Blessing], I would have long pulled back without any sort of hesitation at all.' It expressed, now waiting to reap the benefits of killing the Cypressian Lord. It then went through its plan again, and how risky it would have been if it failed. But first, it checked the wondrous definition of the fifth stage of the [White Shodow Blessing].
"Fucking go back." The true clone uttered, throwing down yet another Dual Lance towards the Cypressian Lord that had secretly escaped the hands of death. It's intention clear, as it wanted the Cypressian Lord back into the folds of death, and the [Undead Monarch] Trait also cried out in defiance when it felt parts of its authority being rejected right before it. 'Perish.' The true clone thought, as the Dual Lance tore through the skies like a white flash of lightning, entering through one portal-way, and out another. And like the judgement of the gods repeating their punishment once more, the Dual Lance struck the same place, and snuffed out the life force of the Cypressian Lord, not even giving it the chance to let out a cry of pain. "..." Yet nobody celebrated. "It... has yet to die." Felix added once more, now understanding why Fate had warned him not to go against his brother, without sufficient preparations to die. 'Fein, oh Fein, you seem to be determined to fight against
"...Like a war king, my brother has his defense unit, offense unit, as well as support unit. Oh, the artifact you destroyed not too long was supposed to have been the scouting unit. Fortunately, it was not yet a half-divine ranked artifact, and was not blessed." Felix carefully divulged, information that would be considered 'snitching', as he was throwing his own brother under the bus. And without remorse, added more with a straight face. "...And to add, each one is actually more of a greater threat than the other. Personally, I believe this one is the easiest to deal with as long as–" He continued, looking straight at the true clone, and how it visibly got more and more annoyed at his attempts. Until finally, when a smile crept up on his face as if he knew he was annoying it. The true clone finally snapped, and gave him the attentions he needed, "Shut up for a minute. I promise I'll get back to you in a minute, you damned bastard." It said, bathed in anger and annoyance. "Okay."
[Undead Monarch] was only for just in case an error took place, and it would die. This Trait gave it power over death, temporarily giving it Undead properties such as being undying, as long as it's subjects still existed – the demonic undead trio in this case. Each one acted as a soul courier, whereby if they exist, it exists. [Dawn of The Trimurti] also gave it amazing boosts of strength, secretly increasing each stat by 4,000 points. A hidden effect not included within its long description, and something that the true clone did not mind. Plus, it also had plans for [The Creator – Brahma's Mind Eye], which allowed it to be able to create anything of its level once a weak. 'Didn't think I'd be wasting this chance here, but I don't mind. I'll just create something that can kill someone, regardless of it's reviving powers. Hence, I can eliminate this guy with just one shot.' It thought, not sure if such an effect was at its level or beyond it. Nonetheless, it had to work. [Son of Me
