Chapter 9: Dark Shadows and White Flames

In the void of darkness, a place that abhors existence, nothing existed. This place is the realm of not knowing, devoid of knowledge or assurance. To sum it up, it was the REALM OF NOTHINGNESS. Realms are classified into different categories based on the dimensions they are related to, such as MLT (Mass, Length, and Time).

But darkness was not something that could be known or reasoned for. I was stuck in this realm that was above all others I had been to. For years, I was trapped, unable to even calculate the number of years I was stuck because I had forgotten the concept of counting. My ability to think persisted due to my embrace of the darkness from the beginning. I pondered endlessly, even doubting my own existence.

The darkness began invading my darkness, causing assimilation. Even background characters are meant to have their lucky periods, aren't they? The problem was solved when there is light there is darkness, but when there is darkness of unknown origin, no light is present or you are too weak to see it. There was an entity that disguised itself as light when it was darkness – Fire, the burning entity. While light brings about warmth, healing, and restoration, the light of fire makes what lies in the darkness visible, and anything it touches, no matter the color, turns black.

I pondered this as I lost my physical body and became a darkness of my own. My destruction turned from grey to black. However, even darkness has its laws. I probed into this law deeply and made an opposite law, which sparked the tip of my destruction. This continuous white spark brought about white light at the surface of my destruction, which brought about the white fire – a very hot fire. I refined this fire into the shape of a human body. The void noticed that something existed in it, so it forcibly ejected me. That was how I survived the REALM OF NOTHINGNESS.

In the demon realm of that universe, in a certain demon god's palace, there sat Garmut, looking through a crack in space, observing what was unfolding on the other side. Demon god Garmut: "What is that?"

The Demon Lord of Souls, who was floating in the air, witnessed this and was also shocked. For him to not be able to understand the type of soul in front of him.

In the shape of a human, light converged together, but this light behaved like fire, and inside this fire was thick darkness. This being stood directly in front of the fire demon, who was stunned. Silent opened his eyes, which seemed blind, and saw destruction. Destruction meaning he saw everything in a gaseous state, no matter how hard the substance was; it was gaseous to him. He looked down upon the fire demon, and she disintegrated. Then, he looked up through the clouds and saw the Demon Lord of Souls. At that moment, he also disintegrated. Finally, he looked at the demon god Garmut's eye that appeared from the crack. Demon god Garmut sensed danger and immediately took his eye off the crack, but it was too late – he already saw him. Then his eye started disintegrating, so he forcibly closed the crack immediately, but the disintegration still continued spreading across his body of large mass until he disappeared.

Silent muttered in a low voice, "What a pity, well let's enter realms of times." Then he took a step upward to the sky using the Shifting Variable Technique. He moved at a very fast speed; upon reaching the sky, he stopped, then took another step upward. He moved as fast as the speed of sound, called SOUND BARRIER SURGE.

At this point, he was already floating in space. He then took yet another step upward, moving at the speed of light, with the light shining brightly around him. He was like a shooting star in space. The moment he stopped, he saw the complete verse of where he saw this speed, called LUMINOUS VELOCITY LEAP.

He then took one final step that was too fast for space to hold his speed, breaking the barrier of the speed of light, and he entered the timeless realm. The place where time is controlled by your will – this realm is called the TACH REALM (a realm faster than time).

He didn't move from the position he entered the speed of light, but everything stopped, including the rotation of the universe. An old man appeared in front of him, holding an hourglass and a scythe – he is the FATHER OF TIME.

The Father of Time asked, "Silent, the timeless one, what are you looking for in this realm of solitude?"

Silent replied, "I want to see all the moments of things in this universe because I sensed something was wrong."

The Father of Time pondered and then asked, "And have you seen it?"

Silent pointed in a direction 25.5 light years away, and the Father of Time saw his junior, Chronos.

Silent continued, "His fate is intertwined with mine; he is plotting against me."

The Father of Time implored, "Please be lenient with him, spare him."

Silent replied with multiple overlapping voices, "That is if the adventure he gives satisfies us."

The Father of Time noticed the blood-red intertwined fate and said, "But you know he wants to kill you; can't you see the blood-red intertwined fate?"

Silent responded, "The one you can't understand, the billions of me."

After saying this, he stepped out of the Tach Realm. Then his light died off, and the white human shape became dark. He became unconscious and floated into space.

Chronos on the mechanical battleship noticed this and then turned on the soul sucker to draw in all the souls in the surroundings into a soul storage. Upon storing them, a crack opened in space, and out of it came the MECHANICAL REAPER (Mecro), a high-ranking reaper who was here to take the soul of Silent, wanting to take him to purgatory. He noticed that Chronos took him and went after him, but couldn't catch up to the speed of them both. He then stopped and marked the Soul of Chronos, saying that he won't be escaping.
