“Our light was supposed to drive out the evil inside of those we cared about, but how are we able to get rid of that if the ones leading us are so evil that it blinds us to their actions? We are only tools to be disposed of. I gave my all to protect the innocent when I should have been hunting it down to its core. Follow not in my path for it leads to the death of heroes, leaving the innocent to suffer without being able to protect themselves from higher powers. Become more than the betrayed forgotten.” the dead me said still bound in chains and broken.
“I won't become like you. But I will have vengeance for the both of us one day when I am strong enough to do so. Until then, I will kill and devour more to gain strength for the fated day.” I said.
“Fine but don't break along the way there like I did. Otherwise, they will finish the job once and for all.” he looked at me with a tired expression. “I am going to sleep. This will be the last you see of me for a long while if not the last time now. Should I disappear forever ask Timir my name when the time comes for vengeance, he will tell you if there is no risk of you dying. Also, tell him I'm sorry for being too weak to keep our promise, and thank him for saving the younglings that I cared for. Although we are the same person, we are different due to how we lived. I grew up with friends whom I loved and wished to protect. You have none of that here, and that is not a weakness. You will never become a protector, and I am glad for that since our universe has too many heroes and protectors. It just needs an executioner who will get rid of the evil. But I'm dead and can't make you do anything since I am already fading away. So do whatever you wish.” the old me said before as he was sucked into the darkness.
He sounded happy I was willing to get revenge one day but didn't seem like he wanted to force me or ourselves beyond what we were able to do. It is weird how we are so different from each other since we are both of the same soul. I'm not a soul expert, so I won't even begin to guess why that is. Maybe I can find out about that at a later point in time.

Pain radiated throughout my head as I felt sick. Forcing myself to stay awake like that was reckless and stupid. I took too many risks during that. Most of my supplies are gone now since I had been unable to gather more while destroying the statue. I'll need to gather more before I can explore more of this layer.
Rule 1 → Don't ever overuse the healing water again.
Rule 2 → Never attack a god or goddess again unless I can kill them on my own.
Rule 3 → I will kill anything that wishes to harm me or stop me from completing my goals.
Hopefully one day I will never need to use the healing water again. I need to be able to regenerate all resources instantly if I want to be able to kill a god or higher-tier beings like them.
Blinking caught my attention as I finished waking up all the way.
Quest completed. Rewards will be given after a message from your Mother.

Thank you, my son. Not even my strongest children were able to get rid of it without killing off the lower-tiered monsters that lived here on the first layer. And if they were able to do, so I wouldn't have been able to keep that bastard from stopping them from doing so since their being there would have weakened the lower five layers of a void shield. It keeps out other entities from the weaker monsters that roam and keeps them from gaining a base of operation set up there again. Now on to describe my piece of shit brother. He is the God of Justice, his name is Ashtad. His wife is the Goddess of Honesty. And her name is Aaris. Even mentioning their names makes me want to start a brand new holy war. But since I don't have many humanoid races of monsters they would just assume that I was trying to kill everyone again. That said though I never needed an army of monsters to fight their armies. All I would have needed to do was give birth to more like my second son. Just three of him could have wiped them out. But he is so battle-thirsty that if he saw another being like himself he would have gone into a frenzy and fought until the other died. Not even mentioning that if he were to leave the void again without us being attacked first the other gods would have joined together to attack us while he was away.

Getting off-topic my brother and his wife were my only real contact with the outside of my realm ever since I was thrown away here. I loved the company of my brother and ever her. Until she betrayed me and my daughter died. I have a few ways of having children my son. The main three are things I did to you to save you, giving birth to a new child from my body, and the final one which is like the first one giving a fragment of my blood and soul to them to make them my real blood children most other monsters that are born in the void wish for this to happen to them in the first place. But I can't do this unless the system deems that the monster in question has done something incredible or something never done before. My first daughter was the second type and the first of nine monsters I gave physical birth to.
To be my child means many things. Most of it is powers granted to boost already existing skills or racial traits. But the most meaning full thing to me is that I always feel where they are and what they are feeling be it happiness or hatred. And they could feel my love and affection for them no matter what. If they were high enough in tiers they would even be able to talk to me through the connection. She was always different from the rest of the others since her connection was the strongest to me. She was like a saint who healed the weak and never fought back no matter what happened to her. She never killed anything during her entire 5000-year-long life. I thought she was a little crazy but loved her anyway. When she died she wasn't sad or angry at anyone. She was happy she could save every she loved and even those she didn't know either. She even saved one of the nightmares from dying from the bomb by healing it while it killed her from the inside out. I felt it all happen to her without missing a thing. I didn't care about the pain I just wanted to save her or have her reborn. It would never happen though since her soul was next to be destroyed as she used even that to contain the power of the bomb. Even then she wasn't scared or afraid of what would happen to her, she embraced it all. Her last message was I love you all mother.
I… I couldn't handle what happened and tried to slaughter every god that got in my way of revenge personally killing 89 percent of all the gods almost destroying the whole Universe in the process due to my rage. Our father the Creator sealed me here to save the universe he created. That was my second child who was killed. What was I supposed to do, just sit there and not do something about it? Ever since then I have never left the void.
When I met your soul the first day you were thrown into the void I remembered her and decided to save you. You are the only monster I have ever blood bonded to me since then. And the system only allowed it due to the great deeds you did before you died. I am glad I saved you. You know she once saved your soul a very long time ago when you messed the teleportation spell. She healed you and then asked me to send you home. I say the beautiful blue color of your soul then and returned you. Only to save you once again.
I'm sorry my son, but that is all I can say now. If I go any further I might break down again. I love you now become stronger, and please don't ever die.

I was happy to gain so many levels all at once this meant to me that I would be able to kill the things and gods that kept trying to make everyone suffer. I would follow the advice of my dead self gave and become a true monster that everyone shall fear. I put all my free points into Int as I always do. 725 mp was the best I could feel my twilight magic rippling underneath my skin.
I could feel Mother's pain and a part of me knew the name of my savior. Even after dying and losing everything I could still remember her smile and warm eyes. Reading the message Mother gave me I started to remember more and more of her. She was truly a pure person of the heart. She held no natural weapons or armor at all. 6ft (1.83 m) tall with a body that rivaled even a goddess with flowing long white hair and silver eyes. Losing her was the worst thing to ever happen to this broken Universe. Roxelia I can't believe I almost forgot about you. I never knew how she died, but now I do. They will all pay.
“Roxelia I know this isn't what you would have wanted me to do, but I must become a new nightmare for the gods. But I will promise one thing to you now I shall never kill those that only heal and those who have never killed before. I make this Oath to you and Mother.” I yelled out for all to hear.
Knowing I didn't have a lot of time I went back to the pond first to gather more healing water and then go out to hunt for more food.
Along the way I realized my physical stats were falling behind by a lot. I needed to fix that and thought up a few was to fix this issue. Every point I put in now in Int is worth twice it was before gaining me more mp. All my stats may do this now and that would be great if that was the case.
