*Shendar – Dani’s POV*
I saw JD’s face contort in pain and then he collapsed in my arms, “JD!” I yelled at him while catching his slumping body. I yelled at him a couple of times, with no response, before the two female monsters ran over towards us. I looked towards the one with violet colored eyes who arrived first. She had an obvious look of worry plastered on her face. She looked at him and then looked at me before speaking in a language that I couldn’t understand. I was about to freak out a little because I couldn’t respond to her and I didn’t know if she would hurt me or not, but I was saved by the robot who translated what she said to me.
The robot translated in a semi-metallic female voice, “She is asking you what happened to Vitamor.” I looked at the robot and told her to translate for me, “Tell her that I don’t know what happened. He had a look of pain on his face then he just collapsed.” The robot started speaking to the beautiful monster in the language that she spoke in a second ago. The monster and the monster behind her both nodded and looked at JD with very concerned glances. The one with red hair even seemed to be on the verge of tears. Who are these women to JD?
*Zellfina’s - POV*
I looked over at the absurdly busty elf holding on to Vitamor and a tinge of jealousy rose up in me before I quickly squashed it. She is obviously someone that he cares about very deeply or he wouldn’t have gotten so mad. He didn’t even get anywhere near as mad when he killed the draconian in the capital for me. I tried asking her what happened to Vitamor, but she looked like she didn’t understand me. Luckily though, Kira was here and she translated for us.
After I listened to what the Elf said I heard Camellia run up behind me and a small gasp leave her mouth. I looked back at her and she had her hand over her mouth and tears looked like they were hanging on by a thread at the edge of her eyes. I sighed in my heart; I knew she would like him and possibly even love him, but I honestly didn’t expect it to happen this fast. What is up with Vitamor’s luck with women, seriously?
I checked him out for a second and then cast [Clean] on him. We all sighed in relief when we were finally able to see that none of the blood on him was his. I checked his pulse and it seemed normal. I stood up and looked at the surroundings and saw the bodies of the Immortal Minotaurs strewn about like a bomb had blown up in the middle of their group. I could even see the Demi-God’s body from here and the massive hole in his chest. I shivered thinking about the shear amount of power needed to punch through a Demi-God’s body. I looked over at Vitamor who was sleeping peacefully in the arms of the Elf and wondered how he could cause all of this carnage on those much stronger than him.
As soon as I thought about it I heard a loud booming voice, which seemed to echo across the galaxy. I looked up and saw a man float down in front of our group. The man was burly and had a double bladed axe strapped across his back. He looked like some kind of barbarian; he had the animal skin clothes and the axe. He completely looked the part, his flowing golden blonde hair and blue eyes helped out with his look along with the white scars that littered his body. The one that went from right above his right eye through his mouth and across his chin helped out the most with his masculine look. He stood at about six foot eight and looked to be about three hundred pounds of pure muscle, if you were to put a regular shirt on him it would immediately rip. He was tan as well, way more tan than I was.
If your cup of tea was a masculine man full of testosterone then he would be the perfect catch for you. Following behind the man was a beautiful human woman. She had long flowing black hair that went down to just above her butt. She was about five foot ten and had a chest just as large as the Elf. She had pale white skin and she was wearing a black knee length skirt and a black wrap that covered only her nipples leaving the rest of her chest free and jiggling. If Vitamor was awake he would be drooling right now. The thing that stood out on her though was her eyes. They were blacker than the night sky, almost as if you could lose your soul while looking into them.
I looked around and noticed that everything except our group seemed to be frozen in time. I was extremely shocked at what I was seeing. I looked back at the man and he had a smirk on his face like he was enjoying my sense of shock and awe. The woman had a smile on her face before she laughed and elbowed the man in the side, “That’s enough showing off brother let her know who we are and why we are here.” The burly man pretended to be hurt by rubbing his side and speaking, “Jeez sis you got to hit so hard?”
The woman laughed causing the man to smile and then he looked towards me before speaking, “You are probably wondering who we are huh?” I couldn’t say anything so I just nodded my head. The man laughed before continuing to speak, “Well I am Pangu and this is my sister Nuwa and we are two of the three ultimate authorities in all of my universes.” When we heard this I broke out in a cold sweat, Camellia backed up a few steps in fear, and the Elf just sat there like this was commonplace for her.
Seeing our fear the man smiled while the woman seemed to be a little sad. The man spoke again, “Don’t worry we aren’t here to hurt you or Vitamor. If we wanted to kill you all we would have to do is release the seal on our auras and you would die just from the pressure.” When he said this I gulped audibly and then he continued speaking with a smile, “We are actually here because we heard his power filled scream from the other side of the universe.” The man looked at the unconscious Vitamor with a small glimmer in his eye that I barely noticed before it disappeared.
He looked back towards me and continued to speak, “We wanted to investigate the source of the scream, so we hurried over as quick as we could.” I was staring at the two in awe because Vitamor had barely screamed and passed out a few minutes ago. This meant that they made it from one side of the Universe to here in a few minutes. No wonder Pangu and Nuwa are two of the three most powerful beings in the universe. Wait. Two out of three? Who is the third one?
A split second after the thought answered my head another voice boomed from above, “That would be me young one.” I looked over and saw an old draconian floating down beside Pangu and Nuwa. Who is this old draconian and why haven’t I heard of a draconian that had made it to the God King rank or higher? The old draconian laughed, “Little missy I have been a God King for longer than your grandfather’s father has been alive.” Hearing this I was extremely shocked; what the hell? Exactly how old is this draconian in front of me and who is he?
The draconian laughed before he started talking, “I am Origin-D and I am the Dragon God King of your race as well as your original ancestor.” When the words left his mouth my mind went crazy. Origin-D? It’s actually him? I was starting to sweat, I immediately bowed in front of the old draconian, “Ancestor please forgive my rudeness.” Camellia gasped beside me before she too bowed down towards him. Pangu laughed beside Nuwa, “Look sis, I created the universes and you created all its creatures, save two, and we didn’t get this much respect from them.” Nuwa just smiled before speaking in her enchantingly sweet voice, “Well he is the ancestor of their race. Out of the two races I didn’t create Draconians are one of them while Dragons are the other.”
Origin laughed a little at the two before signaling for us to stand, “Rise up children I haven’t really done anything that should make the two of you bow to me.” We both stood up and stared at the three most powerful beings in all of the universes. After a few minutes of awkward silence I finally spoke, “If you don’t mind me asking, what exactly are you hear for? I know you said you heard his power filled scream and wanted to see what it came from, but you never said why.” Origin laughed before speaking, “Let me explain, these two have been out of contact with civilization for trillions of years and aren’t good at communicating.” I looked towards Origin and nodded my head.
Origin cleared his throat before speaking, “Well normally a scream full of power wouldn’t warrant our attention, or even the attention of those at the God Prince rank, but a scream full of power that can be heard across an entire universe is something that will peak the interest of almost anyone of us. As soon as I heard the scream I knew whose it was because I have been in contact with Vitamor before, but these two haven’t so I mainly came to explain the situation without Pangu and Nuwa getting forceful or anything of that nature.”
He shot a glance at the other two and while Nuwa looked a little hurt Pangu just stood there and whistled. I tried to hold back my laughter at Pangu’s attitude. Luckily I was saved by Origin, “The truth is Vitamor isn’t from this universe.” When I heard this I almost fell on my ass from shock, Camellia actually did, while the Elf just sat there holding Vitamor looking at him with a face full of love and concern.
I looked at Origin before I spoke, “What do you mean he isn’t from this Universe?” Origin thought about something for a second before he answered, “Well he is from another universe, from a planet called Earth, just like our young elf over here.” I looked at the elf and thought that maybe they knew each other from Earth. Before I could say anything Pangu and Nuwa at expressions of fear on his face along with a tinge of anger, “What the hell are souls from Earth doing in a different universe!?” His anger caused his power to fluxuate; Origin cast a shield around us protecting us from his strength. The space around us started to ripple and tear in some places, but once Pangu noticed the tears in space he calmed himself down before speaking again, “Who brought souls from earth to other universes?” The coldness in his voice could freeze the sun if it wanted to.
Origin looked at Pangu and answered seriously, “It was a few God Kings that got bored and wanted to watch a game with other people as the players. It was okay at first until they started taking people against their will and then they started taking people from Earth. Chronos had to step in and put a stop to it and is trying to ensure that Vitamor is the last soul from Earth.” I looked at Origin and had to ask a question that was on my mind, “Why is it so bad that they are souls from Earth?”
Pangu looked at me and then explained, “Earth is actually a prison planet that hosts the souls of the most evil and cruel beings in all of the universes. There are souls of old God Kings that went on murder sprees,” Saying this he cast a glance at Origin, “and even some Primordial Gods and Titans being housed on Earth. There is one soul though that doesn’t need to leave the powerful seal of earth.” Pangu looked towards Origin, “I can’t believe I didn’t know this was happening. Which souls have been taken from Earth?”
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Origin thought for a second before answering, “If you guys wouldn’t have dropped off the face of the universes for so long you would have noticed. Luckily none of the God Kings, Primordial God, and Titans souls have been taken, just normal souls.” Pangu looked relieved, but Origin wasn’t done, “I wouldn’t feel so relieved yet Pangu, the last soul to be taken was Vitamor’s and unfortunately it was the one soul we really didn’t want taken from Earth.”
As soon as the words left his mouth Pangu and Nuwa’s face was filled with fear. Pangu calmed himself down instantly before speaking, “Where is it?” Origin smiled before pointing towards Vitamor and speaking, “It is him.” Pangu was surprised when he looked where Origin was pointing, but the surprise immediately vanished before Pangu disappeared and reappeared holding his hand above Vitamor’s head. I didn’t know what he was going to do so I immediately yelled, “No!” I couldn’t move fast enough, but before I knew it Origin had disappeared and reappeared behind Pangu with a hand on his shoulder.
Pangu seemed to be struggling with something before looking at Origin, “Let me go! The he must die so the soul can be sent back to Earth!” I was shocked Origin was actually making it to where Pangu couldn’t do anything; I looked at Origin in a new light. Origin laughed before speaking, “Don’t worry, as long as we can keep him sane when the soul awakens fully he would be on our side. Then you could leave your universes without fear of those chasing you two.”
Pangu nodded his head and Origin released him. Pangu moved back to stand near Nuwa, who this whole time since they said that Vitamor’s soul was the one they didn’t want to leave Earth, has been standing there with a complex look on her face while she stared at Vitamor. I was completely confused, “What the hell is going on here?” I completely forgot who I was talking to because I was pissed at the fact that Pangu wanted to hurt Vitamor.
Pangu didn’t say anything, Nuwa just stood there staring at Vitamor, and Origin thought about how to answer before he spoke, “Well the truth is, there are other realms outside of these universes. The universes that Pangu made are just some minor realms scattered among the many out there. The beings that govern the major realms are the Dragons and the Asuras.” I had heard of Dragons before, but what are Asuras?
I didn’t have time to ask because Origin continued to explain, “Dragons and Asuras are equal in strength for the most part. Dragons are the favored beings of Mana while the Asuras are favored beings of the elements. Asuras are larger in number than the Dragons, but the Dragons high usage of mana and durable bodies has made them the Asura’s equals. There are Dragons for each specific Element and they are a little more powerful than the usual dragon, but the same goes for the Asuras. While the Dragons and Asuras can both use mana and the elements their control over them differ greatly. A Dragon of Ice will have a decent amount of control over Ice, but an Asura of Ice will have far better control over Ice. The Dragon on the other hand will be able to put more mana into their spell causing it to be bigger and possibly stronger.”
Listening to Origin explain all about them I was eager to find out how Vitamor fit into all of this. Origin stopped a second to let it all sink in before speaking again, “Now when a beings power reaches the God King level his soul will be moved to another host being born, but his memories and power will not be awakened until he reaches at least the God King level in rank again. So to prevent the evil and cruel God Kings and above from being reborn in the universes we sealed them in hosts on Earth keeping them from being able to train in magic or cultivate. The strongest fighter on earth is at most the Rank S stage, so we started to use it as a soul prison in simple terms.”
He looked over at Vitamor and sighed before speaking, “Sadly Vitamor’s soul is the most dangerous of the souls imprisoned on Earth. He has to reach a level at equal to Pangu, Nuwa, and I before his soul will truly awaken. For his soul is the only one of its kind in existence anywhere in any of the realms. He is the Asura of the Element of Destruction.” Hearing that Vitamor’s soul was the soul of a being just as powerful as Pangu, Nuwa, and Origin I shivered a little and looked at him sleeping peacefully in awe.
I looked at Origin and asked, “Okay so he will be the Asura of Destruction, why exactly is that a bad thing?” Pangu, Nuwa, and Origin looked at each other and had complex expressions on their faces. After a few seconds Pangu was the one to speak, “The Asura of Destruction is the reason we had to run into my universes and seal ourselves within.” Hearing this I was still confused, “Okay that doesn’t explain much. Did he try and kill you or something?” He thought for a second before Nuwa spoke, “Sort of, Vitamor is actually the third host for the Asura of Destruction. The first was a powerful Asura that had been betrayed by the woman he loved, but even after the betrayal he was still collected and didn’t do anything. It all changed when he discovered his Element, which turned out to be Destruction, he went mad and started a slaughter. Five realms perished before the combined forces of the Celestial Realm, the Hell Realm, and all ten of the Major Realms killed him.”
I was listening intently to what they were talking about while also taking glances at Vitamor’s peaceful face. Does he really house such a destructive soul? I pushed the thought to the back of my mind and continued to listen to Nuwa, “The second incarnation was actually the being I fell in love with. He was a kind man and he treated me with love and compassion. He told me that when he discovered his element we would marry and be together forever, but sadly when his Element of Destruction surface he went mad with and started murdering those around him. My brother Pangu was able to kill him since he hadn’t been as powerful, since he just discovered his element when he acted, unlike the first one.”
Looking at Nuwa who was telling her story she had a deeply sad look on her face while glancing at Vitamor. She sighed and continued to explain some more, “Right when he died I captured his soul, when I did this the higher ups in the Celestial Realm wanted me to destroy it so it couldn’t be born again as quickly. I couldn’t do it so Pangu took me and we ran to his universes, sealing ourselves within. No one is able to force their way into another person’s realm, so as long as we are in the universes we will be safe. I took my lovers soul and placed it on earth and Pangu placed a limit on it keeping the inhabitants from reaching a rank above S. In order to protect it from invading Gods I made a Primordial God to watch over the world.”
The story was just getting more and more complex as it went on. I was getting a little jealous at the looks she was giving Vitamor and she seemed to notice it because she laughed, “Don’t worry; even though he hosts the soul of my lover he won’t remember me when his soul awakens. From what I know only the powers brought forth from the Element are actually awoken.” I blushed at my jealousy being discovered so easily before I recovered Pangu spoke up, “We actually don’t know that for sure, because there hasn’t been an Asura of Destruction that has been calm enough to hold a conversation.”
When Nuwa heard this, a glint shone in her eyes before she spoke happily, “You mean there is a shred of hope that he could come back to me?” Pangu looked at his sister with a complex expression on his face, “It won’t be him sister, but Vitamor should have the memories of his past lives so he would be able to know who you are and what you meant to your lover from before. Sadly he will still be Vitamor and not the man you fell in love with sis.”
When Pangu spoke all of the hope in Nuwa’s eyes seemed to vanish and a crestfallen look appeared on her face. She weakly muttered, “I have something to do I will see you guys later.” After she said this she disappeared from where she was standing the only thing that could show you someone was there was the two tear drops that were still falling to the ground. Pangu looked at the spot that his sister was standing in previously before sighing deeply. He looked back towards us before speaking, “The Asura of Destruction is on equal strength with the Asura of Creation from legends, but until this day the Asura of Creation hasn’t appeared. My sister is an Asura of Life which is the highest Asura Element under the Asura of Creation, while I am an Asura of Death which is the highest Asura Element under the Asura of Destruction.”
Hearing that brother and sister had two such apposing elements I was dumbfounded, “How is that possible?” Pangu shrugged his shoulders, “No one knows exactly how elements are chosen. They aren’t passed down from family member to family member they are random. So a male Asura of Fire and a female Asura of Fire could actually give birth to some one that gets the element of Water when they discover their element.” I kind of understood what Pangu was saying, “So you two just happened to get extremely lucky then huh?”
Pangu laughed a little, “You could say that. Asura’s are the favored creatures of the elements, but the Asura of Destruction and the Asura of Creation are favored by the elements and mana. So they stand above all of creation. The only thing is, there hasn’t been an Asura of Creation yet and there hasn’t been an Asura of Destruction that has been sane enough to let live. Origin hopes to fix that with Vitamor.”
I looked at Origin with a questioning gaze. He laughed a little before beginning his own explanation, “Well I noticed that the mana in the vicinity of Vitamor seemed to bow to him from the few times I met him and this was extremely odd to me. I had an idea that he may be an Asura of Destruction or Creation from the information that Pangu and Nuwa told me, but I didn’t know which. I figured that we may be able to have enough people shower him with love and affection that it may keep his sanity if he has multiple people to protect.”
I was confused didn’t the last one have Nuwa? I didn’t have a chance to voice it before Pangu answered, “That is true he did have my sister, but he wasn’t as faithful towards her as Nuwa thought. He did love my sister, but he loved our mother even more. My mother denied him multiple times and when he discovered his element the multiple rejections from the one he truly loved helped the element drive him insane.”
I felt bad for Nuwa, “That’s sad, poor Nuwa.” Pangu smiled slightly before nodding his head. Origin smiled at me before speaking, “Things are different with Vitamor though. He holds the four women in his heart equally and hasn’t been rejected by any of you girls. Actually all four of you love him very much, even if two of you don’t want to admit it and one of them we don’t even know why she fell in love with him so quickly.” I was confused four women? I only know of three, myself, Camellia, and this elf. Zendra doesn’t have feelings for him and since he loves all four and we all love him that means he doesn’t have feelings for Zendra. I still don’t know who it could be. I didn’t have any more time to think before the world went black.
*Origin’s - POV*
I could see the draconian queen in front of me was struggling trying to figure out who the fourth woman was. After a few seconds she looked like she was about to say something, but her and the other two women passed out, drooping to the ground. I raised an eyebrow at the situation wondering what was going on. At this time the robot began to speak, “And who said you could tell people my secrets old man? I never said that I didn’t love him. I even admit to it so why did you lie to her?” I smiled at the robot with the A.I. known as Kiralee, “That was to get you riled up enough to speak. Now that you are gracing us with your voice why don’t you grace us with your presence?”
I could see that Pangu was confused as hell standing off to my right; I just smiled at him and told him to wait a second. Sure enough there was a rift in space and the woman who stepped out of the rift was none other than Chronos. She glared at me before speaking, “Do you know how hard it is to pretend to be an A.I. in order to hand out with the one you love?” I looked over at Pangu who showed an expression of extreme shock. I laughed because I knew why he was shocked; Chronos the Ice Cold Goddess actually fell in love with someone. It was quite a shock to me when I first found out as well; I actually sat around and wondered if I was dreaming or not. As for the reason why she loves him, even I don’t know.
