The Abyss was hungry. It longed for food, for a powerful soul with a will of steel to test his might against the its powers. The power of the same Abyss whose might had killed and devoured hundreds of thousands of souls.

The souls of once powerful gods were nothing in front of the Abyss whose mere sight was enough to terrify the most noble of powers. It's never ending darkness which could cast a shadow upon the whole world. It's grip so strong that struggle will be futile against it once you have fallen inside.

But it could do nothing in front of an ordinary soul of a mortal human. It was not even a powerful soul of a mortal as the soul's whole existence was average. The consciousness of the Abyss was confused.

Why of all souls present, only this ordinary soul was able to resist its corruption. No one should be allowed to exist after coming to the jaws of the Abyss.

So it searched and searched and searched for the any evidence to why all this was happening.

Just as it was about to take action, the soul of the ordinary human which just a tiny piece of floating light twitched and vanished...

Wait what?

Vanished?

The Abyss frantically searched for the soul of this human and realize that another soul was under attack.

It was not even a battle. A one sided slaughter was happening in its domain as it watched as the soul of the human, no not a human, humans are not supposed to be so hungry and cruel as it literally absorbed or for the lack of the better word devoured. Yes , devoured everything in its path leaving only the trail of destruction and utter chaos. Fragments of once powerful god were chipped off of their souls and left behind as an insult for their futile attempts to stop its onslaught.

It was as if these were purposely left behind to mock these once majestic souls and even add injury to their home. The once powerful souls of gods and demons alike were now only mere fragments of their once past selves.

The Abyss was helpless as it looked and try to sense the reason of this soul's slaughter.

Now the Abyss was started to feel desperate as only the colossal and powerful beings were present.

It then saw that the orb of what was once a small weak insignificant soul was evolving. It was evolving into something powerful even by Abyss standards.

Darkness was stretching and constructing such evolution. The darkness shaping itself to appeal to the creature's desire.

At last it looked like a humanoid creature made of darkness. Almost as if the darkness was like physical entity to wrap the creature body with clothes. Clothes that were literally made of darkness. The darkness oozing out of the body like some sort of twisted snake slithering around it's body.

Then it's eyes were opened. But they were no mere eyes. Only red could be seen from those eyes as all concept of time and space were lost to them. Like the red from the deepest depths of the ninth hell. The red of the purgatory realm.

These said eyes locked on to a colossal giant of the size of the moon.

The colossal giant was of a species called the titans. They were one of the most ancient of primordial gods. Their size scaling from the size of the planets to the size of galaxies.

The said monstrosity locked eyes to the titan and sucked all of its energy. Nothing was left there in place of the titan as it was devoured whole. After doing that it was standing there nonchalantly as if it didn't just literally swallow a god whole.

The Abyss was freaking out and also seriously pissed. But what could it do?

Wait...

The darkness was slipping out. It was fading out of existence.

Yes , this was its chance.

And thus the Abyss came to a decision. A decision that would change all of all history as we know it. The decision to make a human a representative of itself. To make it an assassin and share a part of its power.

Why you ask? Well the answer is simple. That is:

To show the powerhouses of world who had taken their throne at the top of world.

To show the gods of multiple words that in my place(Abyss), my assassin is coming to devour you all. To show the world the power of the Abyss which was there from the beginning of time.

My Assassin is coming for your soul and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
