As Endless starts to regain consciousness, no that's not it, it would be more accurate to say that his inner consciousness is awakening but his body is still unable to response towards his thoughts.
However, Endless currently feels as though his body is burning through the depths of hell's pit and freezing in a frozen nebula at the same time.
Those are just physical pain that he could deal with as he has been through more than 30 million years of suffering in that endless void. But what he couldn't bear was the pain from his soul and consciousness that is trying to merge with the new body. It felt as though there were some entities that were trying to tear apart his consciousness and soul, preventing him from merging with the new body.
To be accurate, there were two mighty looking beasts staring at him growling and roaring fiercely at him. Endless was never afraid of battles even in that Dark Endless Dungeon filled with monsters he never once cowered. However, as he stared at these two insanely humongous and mighty beasts, he trembled in fear.
One of the beasts looked like a three-headed dog. But it is much bigger than the average dog. It was covered with dark black shiny fur on its body that made look extremely vivid and lifelike in this inner conscious domain. It had the height of 50 meters, 25 meters in width and 80 meters in length excluding its long tail that looked as long as an anaconda. From the top of its head to end of its tail, the three-headed dog was covered in a dark metallic coloured metal. The shiny metal had many spikes on it, it was as though it was the beast's battle armour. There was also a metal collar attached to all three of its heads and numerous chains were linked to the collar. But what really caughtEndlessns attention was that there was a bluish fire surrounding its body, particular on all three of the heads but what was really surprising was that instead of feeling intense heat, EndesslEn felt bone chilling cold. However, all these descriptions only magnified the sense of majestic aura the beast was protruding.
The second beast, however, looked just like a harmless domestic pet. It looked just like a hairless adorable pink looking guinea pig that many people keep as a pet. But it was much, much, much bigger, maybe a thousand times bigger than a normal guinea pig. However, what was noticeable was that it had two large tusks protruding from its lower jaw but it didn't succeed in giving the beast a fierce look.
However, Endless felt more afraid of this harmless looking pig as compared to the three-headed dog because this pig was giving him a sense of feeling that it was the natural predator to all living beings. Endless felt as though his soul could instantly be devoured when he was looking directly at the pig's eyes.
Suddenly, the three-headed dog roared loudly and started charging towards Endless as if he was a delicacy for it.
However, Endless didn't panic as he was used to fighting off humongous monsters in Dark Endless Void Dungeon. Endless quickly jumped towards his right in order to avoid the incoming three-headed dog. However, before he could even celebrate in escaping death, the harmless looking pig plunged forward its front right hoof and grabbed Endless. Although it was a hoof, it still grabbed Endless tightly leaving no gaps for Endless to struggle out from the pig's grasp.
The harmless looking pig stared at Endless with a malicious looking grin and its saliva was dripping all over as it was obvious it couldn't wait to devour Endless.
Endless had never experience soul type of battles before and never really felt the true threat of death as he always knew that those monsters will never kill him but would only torture him. It's not that he is afraid of death as he always felt that dying would probably be better than the days he spent in that Dark Endless Dungeon. I guess anyone with a sane mind would choose death in an instant rather than millions of years of torture.
However, the feeling of death staring at you was a new feeling for Endless, there was clearly the emotion of shock and surprise mixed with fear and regret. He was feeling shocked and surprised because it was the first time for him, on the other hand, he felt fear and regret because a new beginning was just starting, but before it even got to start it seems like it would extinguish at any moment.
Just as the harmless looking pig was about to devour Endless to satiate its hunger, Endless shouted "HEY! WAIT! Three-headed Dog, are you going to allow this adorable looking pig to devour me? I don't think I am enough to satisfy both of you" Endless had a calm face when he said that but deep down he was panicking, trying to think away to get out of this sticky situation.
A loud and ancient voice sounded out "HA HA HA HA HA, hey Old Pig did you hear that? He called you an adorable looking pig HA HA HA!! This has got to be one of the best things I've heard in my life!"
On the other side, another ancient voice filled with wisdom but had a deep sense of laziness mixed with it sounded out "Hey you old fool, what are you laughing at? Didn't he call you a three-headed dog? The great Cerberus reduced to being called a dog and you're happy about it? And don't you know this kid is just trying to rile us up? What he wants is for us to fight and injure ourselves so that he could survive."
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
"Damn! This fat pig is pretty intelligent" Endless muttered to himself in a low tone.
"Hmph!!" Although Endless said it in a really soft tone, the Pig still heard what he said but just chose to ignore it.
"Old Pig I know what that kid is trying to do but that's why I admire him more since even in this situation he can still maintain his calm. He is doing much better than the previous 'one' (GIO) in this aspect. BUT don't try to fool me you Old Pig, since the original soul has been replaced by this kid here if we were to devour his soul we might be able to reincarnate. So why don't we duke it out between us first, and the lucky one gets the chance to reincarnate" said the three-headed dog in a playful tone, but clearly there was a tinge of excitement when he said it.
The harmless looking pig nodded in agreement but then he asked "Aren't you afraid that after we fought we wouldn't have the strength left to devour this kid and instead be devoured instead? After all, there has never been a clear winner between all of us when we fought even with our real bodies. No one can predict the outcome".
"That's true but wouldn't that mean that this kid is just lucky then? Furthermore, even if there is only 0.1% of power left in our souls after fighting, are you trying to tell me we couldn't finish this snot-nosed brat that hasn't even begun cultivating? You are just too lazy to fight, right? If so why don't you just give me this kid's soul and I'll allow you to leave the body unharmed" replied the three-headed dog with a playful grin.
"Ha Ha Ha! It's true I am extremely lazy but I would never throw away the chance to reincarnate. And you Old Dog was never my match if I really put my heart into fighting you" as the harmless looking pig said that his aura started to coagulate. It feels as though it became tangible and the temperature in the inner conscious domain started to drop.
"Enough talk! Let's start fighting. It has been a long time since this Ancient One has fought, and it is making my blood boil in excitement".
As soon as the three-headed dog said that, the harmless looking pig stood up and threw Endless aside. Endless was far enough to be safe from the clash of the two mighty beasts.
The two mighty beasts started growling at each other and both of them adopted a crouching position, ready to charge at each other at any given moment. Their taut muscles were clearly shown on all four of their limbs.
Creak Creak Creak (Sound of the pressure from their muscles)
However, suddenly at this moment, from the direction of where Endless was thrown off, two large beams of rays shot out from his eyes at the two mighty beasts. One of the beams was icy metallic blue, while the other was crimson red. As the two beams collided into the bodies of the mighty beasts they roared in pain. They did not even have the opportunity to dodge those beams as it was too fast and they did not see it coming.
"Im-im-impossible! IMPOSSIBLE! How is it possible that he possesses the source of the Pure Yin Fire!" roared the three-headed dog in pain and an extremely shocked expression.
"No shit! Not only does he possess the source of the Pure Yin Fire but he also possesses the source of the Pure Yang Fire! I don't know how he could possibly obtain both of Great Primordial Fire but he definitely has it as it could even burn through my Pure Yang body" said the harmless looking pig with a despaired expression as it knew it would be soon be devoured by the Pure Yang Flames.
"Wait, didn't you bathe in the source of the Pure Yin Fire and stolen part of its essence? Then why could the Pure Yin Fire harm your body?" asked the harmless looking pig with a frown on his brows.
The three-headed dog replied with a haughty tone "don't you always claim to be smarter than me? Why are you asking something so stupid then? You have the Pure Yang body and yet his Pure Yang Fire could still harm you, then why couldn't his Pure Yin Fire harm me? I don't know what is going on but I can tell you his Pure Yin Fire is different from mine, his Yin Fire has a higher purity than mine or should I say he has the original source of the Pure Yin Fire. This doesn't make any sense to me but that's the conclusion that I got. Otherwise, there's no way Pure Yin Fire could possibly deal any damage to me. It is bizarre".
Before the harmless looking pig could even reply, the intensity of both the blue and red fire intensified and soon the form of the two beasts gradually disappeared from the inner conscious domain.
As soon as the two mighty beasts disappeared, Endless lost total consciousness.
--------------------------
After a while, Endless opened his eyes again but he found out that he is still within the inner consciousness domain. It is dark and empty but he could feel his surroundings. Furthermore, this time the two mighty beasts was absent. Endless assumed they were both destroyed by the large blue and red beams.
As he was trying to figure out why is he still in the inner conscious instead of waking up fully conscious, suddenly there was a large translucent crystal screen appearing in the domain. What was shown was the past 15 years of Gio's life. From the moment he was born as a baby to the day his father kicked him out of the Kingdom.
As Endless was watching the large crystal screen, he realised how much Gio's parents loved him. However, Gio never seems to appreciate it and just wastes his life. Endless got a clearer understanding of how the world that he was anticipating functioned in the current era. However, because Gio leads a wastrel lifestyle, there was not much proper information to digest.
When Endless reached the final day when Gio was kicked out of the Kingdom, he felt as though he had spent 15 years in the inner conscious domain. Therefore, Endless felt as though he fully integrated with Gio's life and now he could confidently say that Gio is Endless and Endless is Gio. Endless felt all sorts of emotions when he was watching the large crystal screen. It felt as though he was reliving those 15 years of Gio's life. Therefore, his love for his parents was deeply etched in the depths of Endless' heart.
After watching Gio's life, Endless muttered to himself with a determined tone "I am now truly you and you are now me, the things you couldn't do, I will do. The things you want to achieve but can't achieve, I will achieve it in your stead. As the love that mother and father gave but wasn't reciprocated by you, I will love them as though they are my own parents. I am ready now..
