Body Of Death
Mad God looked at Leon's motionless body, he was both shocked and anxious.
Those words from the mouth of Death God had shaken Mad God's heart to the extreme, all the evidence was there, but he chose to ignore it due to his arrogance.
How could anyone utilize the power of Death Qi?
How could anyone transform into an avatar, when they are just mortal?
How could anyone's avatar look so similar to Death God?
The answer was obvious, that this person had some relation with Death God, but his arrogance and ignorance made him not able to think clearly.
He thought his enemies gave this mortal some treasure, that helped him to defeat the clones and even allowed him to have an avatar.
But now he realized that he made a mistake, how could anyone have this kind of treasure? If there was such thing that could make a mortal so heaven-defying then why would they give it to a mortal?
A treasure, that could allow one to control Death Qi is invaluable, even primordial gods would be tempted. It could shift the balance of power, and any primordial god who attains it, they would definitely be able to stand above his peers and become an entity that would be comparable to Shadow God.
"How can I be so stupid? I robbed the tomb of Shadow God."
"I even tried to kill the son of Death God." Mad God thought.
He regretted his decisions, if he knew that tomb belonged to Shadow God, he wouldn't have tried to steal it.
No matter how valuable the treasure was, he couldn't use it. Shadow God was able to use Death Qi and even though any one of his treasures were invaluable, to other gods, they were worthless.
Manipulation of Death Qi was an innate ability, it couldn't be learned or attained with external sources. That's why even though other primordial gods envied Shadow God but couldn't do anything about it. They wanted to gang up against him but never dared due to fear of angering Death God.
Even though Death God with other ancient gods disappeared a long time ago, his name still struck fear into the hearts of other gods, he was most unforgiving amongst ancient gods.
Mad God thought that heaven was punishing him, all the evil deeds he had done, now came back to haunt him.
"No! I can't die now, I haven't taken my revenge from those bastards, even though I can not kill the Evil God, but I must kill those bastards at all costs." Mad God said in his heart.
'Evil God' he referred to was the primordial god, who helped other gods to hunt him down.
Suddenly, a thought came to his mind.
"Why would Evil God help those bastards?"
"The treasure might be valuable but it won't make him any stronger."
"Unless!! He knew, that this treasure belonged to Shadow God."
Mad God mind became clear, he finally understood why Evil God involved himself in this matter.
"Maybe Evil God has something to do with Shadow God's death."
There was the rumor that, Evil God and Shadow Gods were enemies, and they fought several times. Before disappearance of Shadow God, they fought one last time and Evil God almost died as a result.
Was he afraid that I found out the secret and wanted to silence me?
Evil God I will make you pay, Mad God decided to gamble one last time.
"Ancient One, I know who killed your son." He shouted.
Evil God, even If I die, I will drag you with me.
Death God stared at him, without saying a single word.
Mad God gritted his teeth and kept going.
"Primordial God Evil God was the one of those who murdered Shadow God, Evil God probably ganged up with other primordial gods to get rid of Shadow God." Mad God said.
If Death God kills Evil God, my revenge could be considered achieved.
Suddenly, A scythe formed in Death God's hand, it was very similar to Leon's.
He stabbed scythe to Mad God's soul and pulled him out, then he lifted his other hand and brought in front of Mad Gods head. Mad God knew that it was the end, he only hoped that Death God wouldn't know about his other souls.
But the next moment he felt sharp pain from the deepest part of his soul, he started screaming.
NOOOOO!
At this moment, five painful screams sent out from the different floors of the tower, they too were suffering and they didn't even know the reason for it.
"You attached yourself into the treasure of darkness, even though it saved your soul but it also enslaved you, I redeem you from this curse." Death archaic voice sounded on entire hall.
Scream slowly faded away, and his souls dissipated from this world, a fragment of the scroll left floating where Mad God was standing.
Death God's shadow was floating alone in the hall, he stared at scroll fragment, then he looked at the motionless body of Leon.
"To become death, one must understand it, and to understand it, one must face it." Death God said.
He lifted his hand and Leon's body started floating in front of Death God. He sent Death Qi inside Leon's body, suddenly, his body started rotting and turned into dust.
A pitch dark soul was left behind, it was giving very powerful aura.
"Your soul has now become, but you still lack the body of death." Death God said.
Suddenly, a large amount of Death Qi surrounded Leon's soul and turned into a whirlwind, in a few moments, one could see skeleton being formed within it, then followed by flesh and muscles and skin, finally, two pitch-dark eyes appeared in his eye socket.
The process was slow, but finally, a body was formed. It was Leon's new body, from the outside it looked same but from the inside, every fabric of his body was brimming with power.
"This is the last thing I can do for you, the path you have chosen is tough to walk, but this path you must walk alone." Death said in soft voice.
Shadow slowly faded away, leaving behind few words.
"I hope you don't follow shadow's steps."
