Because of a strong bloodlust around us, I am to wake up quickly, without knowing what time it is.
But just right in time, as I get up to check from where this bloodlust is coming from, a loud cracking noise appears and a cutting wind breaks through the walls of the wooden cabin.
The wind seems very focused because the cut literally is visible and running vertical through the whole cabin. I reach Mia´s bed and pull her down to the floor, not sure if I could have blocked that wind with my bare hands. The cut runs the complete house and with a loud crackle the upper half of the hut gets lifted and blown away.
Meanwhile Mia wakes up too and looks surprised at the fine cut that separates the cabin floor from the rest.
“I guess we have an unwelcome guest” I get up and help Mia to get so as well
“Hmm this guest seems to have no manners at all, disturbing the beauty sleep of mine so easily.” Mia tiredly replies and gets up too
“Mia I think we can not avoid a fight here, the bloodlust seems to become even stronger. You can feel it as well, don´t you?” I ask her pointing outside
“Ofcourse I do... And whats even more of a surprise is that the sp coming from that direction seems to be that of a human, but its strength is a complete different story. This guy seems to have an unlimited source of power.” Mia blabbed while thinking
“What an unpleasant fellow. Mia I want you to become my weapon, even if he is strong I think I can beat him and I also want to make a test fight with you in your weapon form.” I say to Mia as she turns into that umbrella form of hers
°Ok lets go and say hello to our guest. And be aware I am only able to speak to you via thoughts now, so dont be surprised my dear deity hehehe.° Mia jokes around in my thoughts
°I would never be, you whimsical girl.° I reply and walk outside
I kick the ,already cut in half , door and walk outside.
The moon is still up and there are no clouds, so the stars have their way to illuminate the field.
A bit farther away from the shattered cabin a man is standing and from our looks, we can see that he is wielding a giant battle ax and is covered in a black cape. I walk towards him and release some of my sp. Immediately a white aura spreads around me releasing an immense pressure.
°So I can now control which type of my sp I want to release, mhh thats great.° I think by myself
The normal sp I used was split half in my Yin and half in my Yang power so it was colored black and white. By now, that I am fully awakened as god, I can decide to either use only one type of sp or both. Depending on which sp I am using, it will have different outcomes. So is for example the white Yang sp a perfect defensive type and with lesser destructive power. In a well controlled way it is able to heal and restore not only its owners body, but also buildings and nature as well as other creatures.
As I release my sp, the man instantly throws another swing with his ax in my direction. Again a strong wind cut becomes visible and rushes towards me. I use the switch at Mia´s handle and counter the cutting wind with the katana I pulled out. I easily broke through the strike with an uppercut.
°Uahhhhh... Thiiis fellt soo good° Mia suddenly shouts sounding very pleasured
°Don´t tell me you really meant that with the orgasm like feeling when I use you° I sceptically ask
°Ofcourse I meant that. Its just too pleasuring hihihi... And it felt even better, to be used as weapon after all these years of sleeping.° Mia response a bit exhausted
°Well enjoy yourself, but we still have to deal with that guy.° I remind her and had to deal with two incoming strikes he throws at me
“tz... if this is all you´ve got, than thats pretty weak!” I shout at him
°Lets make an end, it begins to bore me. He´s not even a worthy opponent for testing my ability´s on him.° I say to Mia to get her prepared for my next strike
I rush straight towards the man, dealing one single blow with the katana. The right arm of my opponents body makes a splashing sound and gets blown away, leaving a confused man staggering backwards and relaying on his ax with the one arm I left him.
“Cough... Cough..., You bastard... I´ll show you the might of my true fo...” I didn´t let him finish his sentence, as I quickly step behind him and have stroke his had of.
Only a splashing blood fountain is to see and hear as the dead body sinks to the ground and his head rolls, leaving a bloody stain on the ground. On his face I can see no fear and his eyes expression is that of a confused man. But well, no surprise, I cut his head of in less than a second.
I take the cape from his body and wipe the blood of Mia, as I put her back together.
“So all bark but no bite Huh? Who was this guy anyway?” I reassure my sp and Mia transforms back to her human appearance
“Hmm, I think we know this guy. Isn´t he the one who was with Peter, hunting down that monster?
Think his name was Schneider.” Mia examines the corpse
“Well, that means I just killed the Knights Templar commander ranked 47, without even having an inch of trouble, not to think that I had my problems with the much lower ranked Peter before. Wasn´t there some strange source of power within him? I can´t feel anything now anymore.” I also examine the corpse closer
“Yeah, thats strange. But it felt as if something was broken, the moment he died. Maybe someone was watching him and saw us fighting against him. If someone used magic to observe him, the spell would break when the host dies.” Mia suggests while taking the head and throwing it to the other corpse parts
“Wouldn´t it be at least a tier 4 spell, to permanently observe someone?” I ask Mia thinking about who might have been watching
“Yes thats right and there aren´t many humans who can cast such a strong spell, at least not in this world.” Mia replies while burning the corpse with her flame magic
“So we should consider that either another deity was watching or someone from the Temple of Sephir. And what are you doing with that corpse??” I think on, but suddenly wondering what Mia is doing
“Nothing special... I burn his remains. There was once an incident in my past, where my deity and me met with a Necromancer-master. He used all of our beaten enemies against us and believe me, you dont want to experience that shit. It was one hell of an annoying night, until my master set an end to the necromancers filthy life.” Mia explains to me and gesturing as if the incident was just a few days ago
“Ah ok, ok. But is a necromancer really that strong, that he is able to be a real threat to a deity?” I ask her not really convinced
“Haha, you really have to learn a lot more about the different worlds. But i´ll give you a shallow explanation.
There are different kinds of magic in all worlds, but the tiers mentioned in your oracle where the same in each of them, but with one difference.
The tiers are superficial described and they do not contain the separated ranks that magicians can hold of. There are a lot of ranks within the magic worlds and its users. Some of them are simple, like the normal human magicians, who fight amongst the army or act as healer in temples and churches.
But there are a bunch of unofficial magic-user. Even in your old world, there used to be that kind called witches and wise man called wizards. Merlin for example.
Those were unofficial magic user. And an unofficial magic user defines them self very often as immense strong being. Thats because they dont follow the rule of magic.
The rule of magic is the rule that prohibits the usage of dark/black magic or blood magic and even offerings which contain living creatures are very restricted. But if one is to be lead astray from the original path of magic, they might be urged by the temptation of power, that the unorthodox dark magic brings with it.
Within these unorthodox magic-users exists a ranking of power, depending on how much of an offer has been given, they can increase their power level.
For example:
Offer a chicken or cat to gain the level of a dark novice
Offer a sheep or horse to gain the level of a dark adept
Offer a human or a part of your own body to gain the level of a dark magister
by offering those small creatures or humans you already gain the power to cast one or more tier 3-5 spells, but you have to continually offer souls to keep your current level.
And then there are also the really crazy offerings, after which you´ll keep a permanently change of power level.
Offer your own soul to become a dark mystical being, as a vampire or werewolf
with that you doomed your self to an extremely powerful, but also painful life. You will live very long and gain strong powers, but there comes a few disadvantages too.
And if you are wiling to offer a whole towns population, you will gain the level of a dark master.
And believe me, I am not talking about gaining the power to just do some more crazy magic tricks. The dark master is able to gain immortality and he probably has the strength of a tier 7 spell, for your remind, those were the ones that can even encounter a nation alone.
None of the ranks, not even the dark novice, gains a lesser power than to use the 3 tier permanently.
So I guess you have quiet the imagination, of how powerful a necromancer-master would might be, or did you miss the hint? Hehe” Mia tells me with a pleasant smile
“Well, well. I had no clue that there are so powerful magicians out there. I thought it will be easy going, as I read the description in the oracle. But now that you mention all of this, I feel the information delivered in my head again. Its exactly as you described it, but there are some exceptions you did not mention right?” I ask Mia while gaining the complete knowledge from my ability, about the unofficial magic user
“Hmm, haha so you already gained the information about everything again? Quiet the useful power to have, so it spares me to go in a full out explanation. But yes there are a few exceptions from the named ones.
There are these natural mortal beings, like for example druids and witches, also herbalists and shamans. Those are quiet the exception, they can be pretty strong on their own and its really the best to stay out of their ways for good. Because what makes them so strong is their magic source is not defined in the magic ability of their own, but in the nature and existence itself. If we ever were to meet a witches-queen, you should better handle her with the utmost respect. She is perhaps older than this universe itself and could easily bring never ending madness over you.
No really..., witches are tricky and mischievous beings, they lure you with their beauty and get you stuck in a world of hate and delusional hope. All existence magic user are difficult to handle, even for a god, remember that one well.
But lets stop prattling about those magic slowpokes.” Mia says to me as she tiptoes all around me
“Ahh, alright then. Ah man look, its getting day already... so much for our sleep.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Its a surprise that you dont have any issues, after you got so drunk yesterday...” I sight and pat Mia´s head
“Hmp... I wasn´t that drunk...It was just a bit unaccustomed, after I haven´t drunk for so many years.” Mia turns away from me, but I could see her blushing a bit
“Ok, ok I got it. So if we are awake anyway, let us start and get going. I still want to find this baron, but I guess it will be nice as well to do some sight seeing of this world. Or do you have any objections?” I turn over to the shattered cabin and let it cease to dust, with just a small hand gesture
“Nope, no objections here. I will probably enjoy to travel again and with you around it will be a lot of fun I guess. You still have to figure out what your plan will be for now. I am really excited about what you will do for your duty as balance restorer.” Mia changes back to her happy go mood and smiles towards the sunrise
“Meh... I have not really given it much afford to think about what I want to do as deity, but isn’t it that we both are literally immortal? So we have plenty of time to decide our path, right ?” I look up the air and brood about the future
“Hahaha, yes we are, time is not to bother us and unless we get killed by someone really strong or sealed away, there is no way for you or me to cease of the existence. And believe me, to kill one of us is a task, nearly impossible to accomplish.” Mia happily laughs
“Mhhh... getting killed is none of my intentions. And now that I have my old consciousness and attitude, I am not afraid of eliminating who is in my way, with my full force. But my main attempt is to get used to my new powers and travel around the worlds creating a clan of mine. Until I become one of the strong deity´s, so that I can really be involved in the existence balance.” I say still brooding about the goal I want to set for me
“Hehehe, well said. So you want to become a deity known by many, so that you can change something big in the worlds. I get the feeling that this might be an very interesting journey.
I am looking forward to it.” Mia gets the going already and symbolize me to follow up
“Yeah... I think I want to change everything haha....... Ahh wait for me Mia....” I look after Mia, not realized how far she has gotten already
I caught up with Mia pretty fast and we decide to travel to the Vilscard field, because we both want to see what it looks like when a high tier spell was used and how the landscape could possible go to waste like that one. Also we hope that we´ll meet some strong high lvl monster to fight with. I really want to try out my powers on them.
“Hohenheim... we are walking for over one week now! Cant we just use some speed, instead of walking like... like normal persons? I am sick of this fir forest environment, even if you create a neat cabin every evening this gets pretty boring. And we also haven´t met anything except wild animals.” Mia carps around
“Mhh, I just dont see any point in rushing everywhere. We got plenty of time, so why speeding everything up? But if you insist this much i´ll agree. Lets speed this up a bit. “ I reluctantly agree
“I think you don´t know how many worlds there are to visit and they all are somehow beautiful. So thats why I cant wait for exploring everything.” Mia gets hyped
“Ok, ok but about how many worlds do we even talk? And how big are they, I mean this world has 4 big continents and if I must compare them to something, I would guess they are, each as big as half the earth. The more I think it over.... I didn’t even seen 15% of my old world. And now I am supposed to restore balance in a whole universe... Oh man sounds a bit annoying to me. Guess there is plenty of work for me to do. But first I´ll take a,.... ahh so 500-1000 year vacation from duty to establish my clan hahaha.” I first try to reply, but suddenly switch to my own train of thoughts
“So you mean you want to laze around for that time period? Hehe I am fine with that.
But uhm, this universe contains about uhhm.... far over a million worlds I guess.
And dont panic, when we travel to the world of gods, there is a room in the main city, that has a universerium.
This cool thing shows you exactly what is going on in the universe and where. So it means you dont have to travel everywhere personally. At least it is just more fun to see everything personal and interact with the worlds.
You must definitely use this privilege to interact with the worlds commoners, because you are one of a very few deity´s that have the right to interact in the internal worlds businesses. I think that only the 100 main divinity´s are allowed to do so.
As you know the main deity´s are the ones that have big influences to the circle of existence. Just like you, the balance or Zaito, the wrath.” Mia surprises me again with some knowledge
“Over a million... she says... hahaha, I suddenly feel the urge to speed this journey a bit up.” I reconsider my point of view
I jump up the trees and make sure that we are on track, while I have the complete map including our current position in my head as a clear vision. One of my ability´s somehow includes that, very helpful.
As I assure that we are on track, I gesture Mia to follow. Then I accelerate to an immense fast jump forwards in direction of our goal.
I haven’t recognized that I accidentally ignited the tree with that, but there wasn’t much time to consider that anyways. I accelerated me to a speed at which I heard a loud thunder, it must have been the sound barrier.
But even now that I am at sound speed, I can anyhow perceive my surrounding perfectly and I think, that I have even much more speed potential upwards, at the moment I am at least mach 2.
I am not really surprised as I see how Mia is catching up with me pretty fast and even leaves me behind, with one of those silly bright smiles...
The more we fly, cant even consider our jumps as jumping, near the Vilscard field the environment becomes hotter and more like a wasteland. The trees around us are beginning to become smaller and they were kind of burned, sometimes one is even lit on fire. The ground and earth is covered with ashes and gets more dry.
It took us just about 3 ½ hours to get stopped by an astonishing view.
Right in front of us, a huge mountain range appears, but those were no normal mountains.
All of them are volcanoes and from each of them a bunch of lava-rivers were floating through the complete surrounding beneath them, turning into a giant lava pool.
The name Vilscard “Field” seems not really fitting, after seeing that the whole landscape is more like a mountain range in midst of a giant lava ocean.
No trees, no humidity, only ashes and lava.
The complete landscape is illuminated in a warm and reassuring fire red, and the heat reaches even us and we are standing about a 20 kilometers afar.
“Wow... This looks so unreal... wish I had a camera here.” I admit to the really mystifying view
“Yes... this is, even I must admit that it has its own beauty, somehow... it looks scary and beautiful at the same time.” Mia agreed with me
“I didn´t even know that a mere landscape could get me to feel a bit uneasy... The more I look at it, it seems the world is coming to its end.” I somehow get to shiver shortly
“Is this place even enterable?” Mia begins to doubt our resistance to lava and heat
“Well I think it will be a hard trip... but I really want to go to this place and do you also feel this reassuring and also suppressing aura from within it?” I feel a bit uneasy
“Yeah, I do... hate to admit it, but this gives me goose bumps.” Mia looks as petrified into the lava ocean
“Any idea what creature might spread such a strong aura? It feels as if it wants us to go there.” I feel a slight urge to search for the source of it
“Just once... I felt an aura this strong... just once. And that cant be possible, not in this world!” Mia really starts looking worried
“What are you afraid of? What can probably be so strong to intimidate you just by the feeling of an aura??” I cant believe my eyes, as I see Mia shivering
“Hohenheim... we must better not go there... if its really one of them... Not even you, no, no god might have the power to beat that being.” Mia gets really attached to me
“SO WHAT IS IT?? you are so afraid of ?” I cant hold back and get entangled in Mia´s hysteria
“A Forger... They have forged the god-weapons a long time ago. I thought they were extinct due to the war a million years ago...” Mia says now hiding behind me
“Are they really that strong??... And why are they supposed to be our enemies?” I ask her confused
“That is something... you have to ask another deity... not me. Just so much, a million years ago there were a few very talented smiths within a race called “creator” and those were called Forger and it is said that they were able to forge weapons, which could be used against the gods and permanently kill them.
You can guess the rest by yourself...” Mia try´s to pull me away from that place
°Ah damn I had hoped the story might be delivered to me again, but it seems that one is something else.° I think
“Ok but I really do want to meet with that being and I will not accept any objections. If he turns out to be too strong I can teleport us to a different place, with my void magic.” I try to convince Mia
“No... please you must not...,” I interrupt her
“Yes I must, I have a good feeling about that.” I try to reassure Mia
“sight~ if you really insist that much... I will accompany you, but by the slightest sign of danger we will retreat. Promise me. I dont want to lose another master to one of them...” Mia reluctantly agrees
“ I promise you. Dont worry that much. I have the full control of my ability´s now and I can even enter the state of a creator too. So there will be no problems, you said it yourself I am supposed to be one of the strongest deity´s there are.” I pat her head and hug her
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, much information input and low action input... deal with it
so much for this chapter a little short, I know myself. But I am a bit of a conflict of how I should continue with the story so I have to figure it out first.
Give me some suggestions there are two options at the moment:
1.) Hohenheim is op and will have his fights as a freakin badass without any obstacles and the story will just be about the story, which would follow then pretty fast
2.) Hohenheim is op, but has opponents to fight with and sometimes he will have his problems. But he will still be a badass char or at least becoming one in the next chaps, story will follow anyhow within the next chaps
And dont worry I have a red line story is following after.
