9 Chapter 9.

White. Truly infinite and boundless as the twinkle of white motes blinked consistently as footsteps walked along the floor seemingly made of an ocean colored white. Each footstep, each breath was followed by the beautiful rain of flowers as they delicately landed, danced, and twirled around. Seemingly falling from the beautiful sparkles in the sky as the scenery seemed to be the embodiment of origin. Subconsciously the mysterious figure continued to move and move until he suddenly stood in front of a field absent of floating flowers… because they were all grounded along the water. As they stood in prestige what lay in the center of the field was a hyacinth which glistened once, as if indicating its sentience and awareness of the guest. Feeling the core of his existence quake in fear, something deemed impossible because utilizing or affecting the soul was deemed… impossible.

A melodious tone danced across the field, as a new showering of flowers emerged, one different from the present. As the two species of flowers danced with another, infinity blazed with color as the starry sky repeated until infinity, blinding the figure with unmatched brightness as even more stars which seemed incredibly distant began to shine with a resplendent light. A silent tear caressed the enigma's face as his golden eyes marveled at the breathtaking scenery as his emotions fluctuated.

"This beyond… far beyond being an Eternal. So this is what we're seeking beyond the horizon. There are truly worlds beyond this one. One can become a being so unfathomably powerful a universe is a mere kingdom." The starry skies blended white as the scene flickered from existence, leaving the hyacinth as one of the two beings in the domain of infinity. Slowly approaching the mythical flower as his majestic aura transitioned the world into a boundless gold as his mantle identified his status as a god amongst gods. The hyacinth glowed with light as its color became golden as it entered the body of the entity.

��Flower of Eternity, the power of the soul." Murmuring as his once golden pupils became multi-colored as it contained sapphire, gold, diamonds, emerald and rubies. Heightening his status beyond being the god amongst gods to borderline transcendence. His gaze became stern as he faced a direction in the infinity of gold.

"It seems the slumbering Azathoth has re-awakened, I can only hope his sleeping wrath doesn't ignite to bring destruction upon my kingdom." Snapping his multi-colored eyes as the boundless gold became a vast expanse of space surrounded by a seemingly infinite world of stars and planets. Oddly enough him and the universe seemed separated by a mysterious border as what laid behind was a suffocating black as its maws dared one to enter and never return.

"Being a succubus can be frustrating. Everyone loves the thrill of battle, suffering and death. Life would be rainbows if we could settle disputes through sex and orgies, I would defintely aim to be the greatest if that were true." King Vara mumbled under his breath as he clutched his shoulder as dry blood decorated his cloak. Leaning his head against the rocky terrain as his sword rested along the snow, his eyes wandered towards the cloudy sky as snow rained on his face. Drifting into a trance as his mind became still and tranquil, he abruptly awakened only to find himself being surrounded by fawns and ducks. Briefly confused as he slowly stood, he patted the fawns as they brushed against his cloak as they scurried away with the ducks. Wandering the endless forest of apples, citrus and peaches, he basked in the vibrant energy as he lost himself in thought.

"So this is what Uhiye meant by mountains and rivers. My wounds are truly healed and these fruits possess boundless energy... enough to catapult one into the domain of a Diamond-tier Progenitor. The only caveat is that the mysterious being may not be fond of theft. I can finally sense Uhiye's signature, I should warn the others before the connection becomes moot."

Unbeknownst to him, Hades arrived towards the mountain he once was. Confused as the blood along the snow suddenly stopped but her enemy was no longer. Withdrawing her scythe as she gazed miles beyond as she silently watched Second Prince Aman's bitter battle as he continuously struggled against the pressure of three. Flickering between trees as the arrows continued to chase and torment him, his eyes remained vigilant and occupied as he exchanged sword moves with Princess Snow and Oe. Grimacing as Snow's sword slashed his legs, he stepped closer to her as he smashed his head against her mouth, forcing her back as blood covered her mouth. Sighing as he now dealt with Oe and her crafty but patient spearmanship caused him a headache as he constantly parried arrow after arrow. Fatigue mounted him as his frustration caused him to commit erroneous errors as the unity of spear, sword and arrow scarred his body. Coughing up blood as he clutched a tree, he could only sigh as the three beauties surrounded him.

"It's looking like the end of the line for me, I only request one thing if you fellows don't mind. I've lost this threesome, but how about a rematch in the bedroom… or here on this snowy floor?"

"Energetic even till the end, I respect that mentality but we must refuse. If we weren't confined to this void point victory would be yours without a doubt." Princess Lapi replied as she stood above him as she held an arrow. Crouching down as she kissed his forehead, the ultimate sign of respect for a valiant warrior in the culture of succubus. Before she could pierce his heart, her eyes became pinpoint as she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"You steal his life, we will shed all pretenses and your death is guaranteed. The two superiors that led you have disappeared along with his older brother into a mysterious section of this world, rather than fight I propose we unify to discover the method." Hades spoke aloud as her aura suffocated the surroundings. Frowning as she noticed the three princesses remain calm under her threat, her eyes became bewildered as they vanished into thin air before she became enlightened. Extended her hand as the snow kissed her caramel palm, her red pupils brightened as she softly spoke.

"This atmosphere represents sorrow and history, the snow is a symbol of purity and thirst for peace. One must find solace within themselves to cleanse their heart which requires a somber and tranquil mind." Smiling to herself as she stood next to the river as her background consisted of a boundless field of roaming sheep as they chewed grass and swam within the river. Admiring the rainbow horizon as killing intent leaked from her eyes as the animals escaped from fear.
