Chapter 84 – Soul Resonance (Part 1)
As the soul of Genbalt slowly deteriorates as it reaches its crumbling point a crimson light wraps around it as it disappears… as Folia was still extremely furious… Nelus was… empty… his eyes devoid of any emotion… he then smiled at the ones around him as he looks at each one of them. Even Rezald and the others felt a chill on their spine as they look at Nelus’ expression. Folia too stops as she looks at Nelus, she thought that Nelus was the one who was most affected by this. Most of the time Genbalt was always talking about Nelus and how fun it is to talk to him, even though she too had memories concerning Genbalt but the one he spent the most time with was with Nelus, they were like best friends, even brothers…
Folia: Nebulus…
???: I am not Nebulus… I am… Equinox!
As if he was a completely different person, his aura and voice changed… it was the male voice that has always bothered him…
Folia: Wha!? You… who are you!!
Folia said as her face paled, she felt killing intent… world shaking amount of killing intent as Equinox then said.
Equinox: I am equinox, the origin of the limitless darkness, I am here to exact my revenge!
Folia: Revenge to who?
Equinox: I…I…I… I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I don’t know!!! Guaaahh!!!!!
Equinox said as the whole world was engulf into darkness, everyone except for the Gods froze but they felt as if they were being pushed down by an enormous force. A voice then came from inside Nelus…
???: Get out of his body!
It was the voice of Llyra as Equinox became furious…
Equinox: You again! Why don’t you get out!!
Llyra: Aaahhh!!
Equinox then pierced his own chest as he took out an incomplete sphere… it was Llyra’s soul, covered with spiritual chains from the curse.
Equinox: Tch! A part of you has fused with our soul, I’ll just repress it for a while… ahh better.
Equinox eyes then changed from purple to red as his killing intent increased.
Equinox: Before I exact my revenge, I’ll help out Nebulus a bit, I’ll kill all the Gods here… and why just them? Afterwards I will kill all that is precious to Nebulus then, he will not have anyone to grieve about! Hahahah!!
Llyra: Please… help… Nebulus… help… him…
Llyra said as her soul was weakening as if it doesn’t have a body it will deteriorate just like Genbalt…
On Lina’s side…
Lina: Ehh? Everyone weird…
Altan: Terul… Terul!!
Altan said teary eyed at the frozen Terul… the reason they were not frozen was because of their potentials… Altan has the title of Dragon God as he has the capability to become one, for now only a fraction of Godly power was inside him but that much was enough to fend of Equinox sudden outburst, especially knowing that they were far away from Equinox so the effects have weakened somewhat, if they were a little closer they surely could have turned, to stone, it was a stroke of luck… or was it? As for Tania, she too has tha capability as she is Altan’s twin soul. Finally, Lina’s title Valkyrie has the capability to join the ranks of Gods though it will need massive determination to be one.
???: Please… help… Nebulus… help… him…
Lina then twitched as she then shouted…
Lina: Uncle needs me!!
Altan then looked at Lina, then at Terul as for the first time… Altan’s eyes turned draconic as he was seething with rage, he thought that Terul was gone so when he heard about Nelus, he immediately said…
Altan: Tania!!
Tania: Yes brother.
Tania said as she transformed to her older form and unfolded her wings, Lina and Altan then grab hold of her as she ran outside the mansion and flapped her wings and used the spell, Pyro Burst, continuously to help them speed up. While on the air a red figure appeared.
???; Let me guide you.
On Nelus’ side…
Equinox: Let me see…
Equinox then gathered the darkness around him as it swirled around Nebulus hand forming a glove like shape, 4 horns of darkness protruded on it emanated an ominous feeling, it then solidifies completely as Nelus’ eyes turned pitch black as a grin appeared on his face.
Equinox: Looks like my innate darkness is still here, but it isn’t enough!
Equinox then tried to see the skills he had in Nelus’ body as his eyes widen as a sinister smile appeared.
Equinox: Ohh… even though this is still weaker than the ones I used to have, this is enough.
What equinox used was element armor. The darkness creeps up towards him as it climbs up his body, it then materializes as it formed pieces of equipment, first was a black mask that looked like something from the masque balls in the common world, a part of the darkness then invades white star as it changes form… what he was wearing now was an attire fit for a noble or even royalty with a pair of stars, one on each side of the sleeve of his arm as well as a red crown on the left side of his chest. His pressure then became overwhelming as he approached the Gods that are left…
???: Hahh… who knew it will go this way… I leave this to you Tages… the God who speaked to Genbalt said as he returns to normal.
Tages: My Lord wait!
As Nelus closes the distance, some of the Gods shouted…
???: Don’t come closer!!
???: Eeeekkk!!!
???: What is happening!!??
Nelus then rushes towards them as he grabs one of the God’s head and squeezes it as the body disappears as well as the soul.
Folia: If he does go after… the others… how can I stop him…
Folia said as she bit her lip as she watches Nelus’ slaughter. 45 remaining of the Gods that attacked them as 5 desperately attacks Nelus as he walks towards them as they were squished down with an invisible force as their body disappears just like the previous ones.

Equinox: How about if I use this?
Equinox said as the darkness eats away at everyone as their bodies were being engulfed by it. It was a Y rank dark element spell, Dark Devourer.
Folia: Iyahh!!
Folia said as pain invades her, it was as if she was being eaten alive, she then looks at the others as it seems that they were eaten at a faster rate as half of their bodies disappeared into the darkness as Folia then said.
Folia: Chaos… road!!
A wall of chaotic energy covers them up as their bodies return back to whole as the darkness rebuilds them instead of devouring them. She has only enough mana to cover them up but she knew it would not last long.
Folia: Wake up Nebulus!!!
Folia shouted as Equinox ignored her. He then continued in killing each one until Tages was left.
Equinox: Now tell me, who is the one who ordered you as well as the one who killed that Genbalt.
Tages: Better kill me now because I will never tell you…
Equinox: Oh? Then I will.
Equinox said as the horn on his glove pierces his chest… Tages then was shocked… the horn pierced his soul but nothing is happening.
Equinox: Die the most painful death.
Equinox said as his soul slowly rots as an enormous amount of pain and suffering invaded his body for two hours before he died.
Equinox: Now that that’s over, it is your turn. Oho? It looks like the others are still alive, what did you do?
Folia: I don’t know what you are talking about!
Folia said with a sarcastic tone as she smirked, she then thought to use all her chaotic energy to at least severely injure Nelus mentally in hopes of him waking up, it will cause her, her soul but it is worth it if it works… if the chaotic energy somehow reverses his state of mind… while Folia was gathering chaotic energy, three figures appeared.
Altan: What did you do to papa!!
Folia: Eh!?
Altan said to Equinox as Folia was shocked seeing that Altan was looking at Nelus while saying that.
Folia: (Nelus as a father… pfftt!!)
Folia almost laughed out loud as the thought came to her but was interrupted by the pain.
Folia: (Concentrate… now’s not the time to be laughing…)
Folia thought as she looked at Lexa and the other beings of Darkness.
Folia: (Hahh… for them to put me into this situation… these brats, if I ever lived through this I’ll punished all of you my naughty children.)
Equinox then looked at Altan and headed towards him as he punches with great speed as he was somehow annoyed by Altan. Tania then immediately blocks him as she was blown away with Altan…
Tania: Father… something’s inside father… it feels like him but at the same time doesn’t…
Lina then grabs on Nelus waist as he tries to shake her off. Lina then started crying and shouted…
Lina: Uncle!! Why hit Alt!! Stoooopp!!!
Equinox: Annoying!
As Equinox was going to cast a spell on her something happened… something glowed from inside Nelus’ Spatial Storage as its light pierces through and appeared out of nowhere in front of him as it then heads towards a certain direction… it came from the soul orb Calice gave him and it was headed towards… Llyra’s soul, the spiritual chains burst open as it then heads towards Lina’s body… Lina’s body was then covered in an aura as her figure changed as she seemed older… ten wings appeared on her back as the Godly power inside her overflowed.
???: Nebulus… revolt… please come back to me…
She said as she made her way towards Nelus, took off his mask and kisses him… a feeling then invades Equinox as something enters him… his consciousness was invaded…
She then appeared inside Nelus.
???: Nebulus… do you really want it to go this way?
Nebulus: Genbalt he…
The one she was talking to was Nebulus who is trapped inside his body…
???: Try to feel your connection…
Nebulus: What are you saying… I…
Nebulus then noticed as tears appeared on his face…
Nebulus: Genbalt is alive? How? I saw it with my own eyes that he…
???: You only saw it… did you feel it?
Nebulus went silent as he then said…
Nebulus: But it is too late… he has already took over my body and I became too weak to take it back.
???: Who says you are weak you have me here with you let us both go against him, you are not alone… after all… (I am your wife.)
She said as she takes out her hand towards Nelus as three figures appeared in front of him… it was the Lina from before, the Lina now and… Llyra… he then grabs their hands as the light inside Equinox broke free… Equinox was then pushed back as the darkness splits with Nelus, in front of him was a figure that looks like him with red eyes… it was Equinox…
Equinox: To think you had pushed out the malice in my soul out of all things! Now our soul is now incomplete!
Nelus: But I feel that something fitting will replace it.
Nelus said calmly as the soul fragment, left behind after Equinox pushed Llyra out, fills in the gap inside Nelus’ soul and fuses with it… Nelus’ status then undergoes a change as he looks at Equinox with calm eyes. Nelus’ eyes had also changed… his left eye was still purple… as for his right… it was a clear blue…
Nelus: The darkness inside me… I will dispel you… but not alone…
Nelus said as he rushes towards Equinox with Llyra behind him… he then summons Corhylis as its form changed…
