An explosion resonated throughout the entire Void, the explosion so powerful that it traveled out of the infinitely-sized Void and shook reality. In some universes, it could be a screech that lasts for centuries, while in others, it could be a beautiful lullaby lasting for minutes or seconds. Yet in other universes, it couldn't be heard by any creature living there due to being different than their hearing frequency.
The ones responsible for the explosion were the Heroes, Angels, and Demons that were having a mock battle against Avalog, the nigh-omnipotent being. His power was second only to the strongest form of Azaroth, the form before he gave up omnipotence. Now, Azaroth is a simple human with some powers he kept for simple convenience.
The battle has lasted for the last few thousands of what they think are eons, Avalog toying with those he considered close friends. The Primordial Spirit of Time, the sentient embodiment of the concept of time doesn't exist in the Void, thus making it impossible to actually measure the time that the battle has been going on for, meaning that they had to rely on their sense of time.
The party consisted of 7 Demons, 7 Angels, and 3 Heroes, 17 of the 18 strongest individuals in creation. They had a friendly rivalry with Avalog, often engaging in mock battles purely out of boredom or for fun. The playful fights could last forever since none of them would get tired, but they would stop once they grew uninterested in the fight.
As the bright light from the explosion dissipated the party could see Avalog's figure again, an attractive man who stood at 1.93 meters tall and looked like he barely turned 23 years old yesterday. He had red hair, grey eyes, his body was muscular and not clad in any armor, instead, he wore a black t-shirt and dark grey sweatpants. As the light disappeared completely his friends looked at his face and saw a smirk. He simply blocked the attack with his bare arm as if the attack wasn't strong enough to effortlessly erase all Primordial Spirits from existence.
"Why did you change clothes? And what type of outfit is this? If nobles or royalty saw you wearing this they would think that you're a world-class clown that arrived straight out of the circus to provide entertainment for them." Said Vyria, a beautiful Demoness with long blue hair that extended to her waist, her eyes a light emerald green and her beauty was only bested by the Primordial Spirit of Beauty. She was wearing her best armor, which was pitch black with red accents along the arms and chestplate. She wielded a longsword with a silver blade and a white handle.
Avalog simply chuckled and replied with a completely serious tone, "Don't mock me, I sent a clone to some random universe to check things out and he brought back this saying that this was casual clothes, so I wore it because why would I be serious here during this battle?"
Suddenly, Nivia, the Primordial Spirit of Beauty who could be considered the most beautiful in existence, appeared out of nowhere in the Void. She was wearing a black corset and a loose white dress underneath. Her golden hair flowed down her back to her hips, her eyes a deep violet and full of kindness and love. However, the look in her eyes changed as she saw Avalog, she rolled her eyes and crossed her slender arms. With a tired tone she said,
"You're still here? I thought that you would've gotten bored in the last couple of millennia and left the Void. Now where will I laze around with you here? And what are you wearing? Did they create a new clown costume and I wasn't aware?"
Avalog let out a slightly frustrated groan at being mocked by Nivia and rolled his eyes, throwing a powerful yet not at all serious [Chaotic Dark Flame Fireball] at Nivia that almost hit her leg as it appeared to arrive near her body before Avalog even threw the attack. The attack traveled so fast that it went back in time. The only thing that saved Nivia was that she could easily walk through the non-existent time and simply avoid the attack as it rushed towards her from the future. Nivia crossed her arms and forced fake tears to flow down her cheeks.
"Hey now, you're so mean, and I thought we were friends..."
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Avalog, without a second thought, sent another [Chaotic Dark Flame Fireball] at Nivia, this time it was faster and brushed against her left arm, destroying a small part of the concept of beauty before Nivia regenerated herself. "So mean!" Yelled out Nivia with a grin on her face. Avalog snapped his fingers and his attire changed to an adventurer's clothes.
"Finally something somewhat normal." Said Aelia, one of the female Angels. She had silver shoulder-length hair and red eyes. She was wearing full body armor that was dark purple in color, a golden longbow in her hand. Nivia flew up to Aelia and rested her chin on Aelia's right shoulder and hugged her from behind.
"Aelia! Avalog is so mean to me! Do something!" Nivia said through fake tears. Aelia simply shook her head and looked between Nivia and Avalog. After rolling her eyes she said,
"You two are like siblings, always finding ways to annoy the other, and I'm the one who is called to resolve it, what am I? Your mom or something?" Nivia moved back away from Aelia and placed her right hand on her chest. She looked offended at being called Avalog's sibling, though she was only acting.
"Me? His sibling? HA! That was the funniest joke you made in the last few millennia, Aelia!" Nivia started laughing as if it was the funniest thing anyone could ever say. Avalog looked at Nivia's dramatic performance and teleported next to her, placing his hand on her shoulder.
"Is there any issue with being called my sibling?" Avalog said with a serious voice but everyone knew that it was not serious. He then teleported everyone out of the Void and they appeared in the middle of a forest in their personal universe. Avalog turned to everyone.
"Alright everyone, remember the plan? Because I do, so should we start?" Everyone looked between each other and nodded.
"Go ahead, I wish you a nice time, but did you already do all the preparations?" Said Kael, one of the male Heroes. Kael was 1.9 meters tall, had black shoulder-length hair, and sapphire blue eyes. A sword with a black blade with purple accents and a red handle was in his hand.
"Probably yes, I don't know, we'll see as it plays out." Avalog replied as he waved his hand and shrugged. "Not like I'll lose anything if I missed something." He added, still carefree.
All of a sudden a being appeared from thin air in front of them. They looked androgynous with pitch black hair reaching down to the middle of their back. There were small, bright dots on their hair as if galaxies were shining from them. Golden eyes shone brightly like stars in the sky. They looked at Avalog and nodded.
"Well, Avalog, hope that you have a good time, and make sure to come back or I'll bring you back myself." Said the being with a grin. Avalog grinned and nodded back.
"Don't worry about me, Azaroth, I'll make sure to come back in like 20000 years or so." Said Avalog to the being now known as Azaroth. Avalog turned to the group and said, "Well, see you all in about 20000 years, entertain yourselves with your friend gone." Suddenly, a laugh that shook the universe and space-time itself was heard coming from the middle of the group.
"HA! Don't worry Avalog, I'm sure we'll be just fine without you, so take your time! Maybe add a couple thousand more years to it!" Obviously, it was Nivia, because who else would it be? Avalog shook his head, walked over to Nivia and hugged her tightly as he said,
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say." Then, he disappeared from the universe, leaving Nivia stunned for a second before she teared up and hugged Aelia, burying her head in Aelia's chest. Aelia hugged Nivia back and started stroking Nivia's hair.
"Well, Nivia? Don't cry, Avalog will be back in about 20000 years, it's nothing to the time you already lived." Said Aelia in an attempt to calm Nivia down but it didn't work and Nivia had even more tears flowing down her cheeks.
"He's so stupid, leaving as if he'll come back in a second and not 20 millennia, it's a long time!" Nivia said through the tears, her head still buried in Aelia's chest. Aelia just smiled and continued stroking Nivia's hair.
"Nivia, 20 millennia is nothing compared to how long you've already lived. Besides, why do you miss him so much already? You wanted him to add another 5 millennia to his adventure and now you want him to come back right this second?" Aelia said and asked, a bit of a teasing tone in her seriousness.
"It was just a joke! And he left so quickly. Just a quick goodbye and he's gone!" Nivia replied as she calmed down a little but stayed in Aelia's arms. The rest of the group just looked on and shrugged, not knowing what to say or how to react.
"Idiot!" Nivia added as she looked in the direction of where Avalog was just standing moments before.
After leaving his friends behind, Avalog teleported to Heaven. There, he attended to the last details needed for his adventure. After finishing, he called into the white void, "Azaroth." Azaroth appeared and nodded, none of them said anything. Azaroth waved his hand and Avalog's new story began. His memory was erased and his Soul sent to a universe he chose beforehand to start a new beginning
