Rewriting

After a certain amount of time has passed, it really happened: all the events that are signs to the Ancient War are now occurring.

Later on, the Dark Clown's group Demise's Grip will soon appear to instigate wars between Noctua and the other races.

Shururururuk.

Dark gates that bend light itself grew larger from the sky; several Dark Clowns with different appearances flew down in front of the Noctuas' territory.

"Who is the leader of this tribe?" One of the Dark Clowns, seemingly the strongest of the group spoke in a loud voice.

The Noctuan warriors evilly grinned before charging towards the Dark Clown asking the questions.

Splat!

The leading Noctuan warrior's head exploded the moment he entered the Dark Clown's melee range.

The other Noctuan warriors stopped their tracks when one of them instantly died; their enemy is not as simple as they look.

"I am the one you are looking for." Nightshade walked out of the building where her throne is.

"Great! I wish to negotiate with your tribe, it is simple: We, the Demise's Grip, would give you extraordinary powers in exchange of doing simple tasks!" The Dark Clown in front laughed like a maniac.

"What simple tasks?" Nightshade remained calm and emotionless.

"We just need you to attack a city in one of the Kingdoms; it is one of the largest cities there. They are making this certain weapon capable of destroying lives of innocent people!" The Dark Clown made it sound like the weapon does exist; this would have convinced Nightshade if it were not for Veil's warning this time around.

"Very well, I understand. However, I need some time to prepare my side." Nightshade responded in a louder voice, signaling Veil to make her move.

When the Dark Clowns are about to turn around, the skies darkened visibly and a translucent dark-colored barrier enveloped the entire tribe and stretching beyond the borders.

After the barrier is fully erected, berserk mana assaulted the Dark Clowns.

Shik shik shik shik shik shik!

Hundreds of shadowy streaks of beams shot everywhere inside the black barrier, and Veil herself who erected this barrier is making her move inside the shadows.

Mana Expansion: Shadow Assault!

Skill: Shadow Dance!

Even if Veil has already attained the realm of Celestial Expanse, she does not dare use that kind of power in this time, because she would bend the rules of the Gods, potentially ruining her chances of rewriting the entire history of Terra.

Loud clangs of the Dark Clowns' claws and Veil's sword rang with loud hums and vibrations.

Meanwhile, Nightshade has already evacuated her trusted troops and citizens.

The remaining Noctuan warriors joined the fray, they do not deal any damage whatsoever to the Dark Clowns, but they served as a distraction which enabled Veil to focus a single target.

Whenever a Noctuan warrior dies, they became Dark Soul Fragments for Veil to absorb, thus, growing her power as time passes.

With that, an entire passed in the tribe, flattening the infrastructures and leaving various craters on the ground.

The powers of the Dark Clowns at this point still have not grown to be a force that could destroy worlds and Kafka has not yet absorbed their fellow Dark Clowns.

Veil harvested the lives of the Dark Clowns, among the 16 of them that arrived, only 7 remains now.

Whenever a Dark Clown falls under Veil's hands, the others alive could not absorb their brethren since Veil's Umbralia seals their ability to do so.

This is why Umbralia is beyond, if not, on par with bona fide Legendary weapons.

A weapon is graded as Legendary when it boasts a power that is exclusive to that weapon and also a will of its own that does not give backlash to the wielder.

Magic Weapons are the closest to the level of Legendary weapons, however, they cause massive backlash, which is a disadvantage.

However, Legendary weapons give immense power to the wielders without any conditions whatsoever, for as long as they train their body to be able to wield the specific weapon with decent mastery, it would produce mind-blowing results.

One of such weapons is the Spinefall, which has an exclusive ability to absorb the souls of the creatures it kills.

Through harvesting massive amounts of souls, the Spinefall grows stronger with its owner, attaining the Legendary grade.

Umbralia, with its endless supply of 6 different mana types, and its own will, could already be declared as Legendary, only if it were not for its original version having a backlash.

As for Solara's Lightsong shortswords, its exclusive ability is its ability to be embedded and morphed into different accessories such as gloves, bracers, necklaces, and will be able to be summoned at will.

Lightsong also absorbs the user's skills, duplicating its firepower and effect, which is perfect for Solara's level.

All known Legendary weapons are: Spinefall Spear, Lightsong Shortswords, Bow of Lunara, Kindleflame Staff, Claws of Naxia, Celestiuum Umbrella, Hellwalker Twin Artifacts, Whip of Ka'leena, Nethervoice Orb and Great Shield of Draconia.

Among the Legendary weapons, the Hellwalker Twin Artifacts is the most unique one, being a pair of magic guns that uses mana as its ammunition.

Its exclusive ability is its power to suppress evil creatures such as monsters, dark races such as Noctua, Dark Clowns, and Demons and so on.

Due to this ability, the wielder was prioritized to be hunted by the evil creatures during the Ancient War.

[…]

Veil continued fighting until only one Dark Clown remains, with this; she should only monitor the state of different countries to prevent potential wars.

Splash!

Veil stabbed her sword on the middle of the Dark Clown's body, absorbing it into the endless darkness of the Umbralia, after finishing off this Dark Clown, there are no more direct evil beneath Terra.

Shururururuk.

She absorbed her barrier back to the shadows under her and called Nightshade to discuss an important matter.

"I did everything you asked, now, what should we do?" Nightshade asked after popping up from the shadows.

"I finished the so-called Dark Clowns; however, you and the rest of the Noctua are direct descendants of these Dark Clowns, so you must also face your end." Veil gently caressed the handle of the Umbralia.

"Very well, if that is what it takes for you to achieve your goal here." Nightshade smiled after recognizing the mana signatures of the Umbralia, after all, she made the Umbral Reaver.

Veil then absorbed all the Noctua she could detect, even going as far as diving into the shadows to confirm if there are no more left.

With this, she potentially stopped the Ancient War and the plans of the Dark Clowns.

Veil then proceeded to freeze the entire territory of the Noctuas and even encased herself in diamond-like coffin of ice.

Shikikikik~

After lying herself down inside the coffin of ice, she fully enclosed herself with ice mana supplied by the Blackfrost shard from the Umbralia.

"…" Veil later found sleep after being fully enclosed in ice.

Veil did this so that she could preserve her body to survive thousands of years, waking up every millennium to check which period of time would a war erupt, however, after 2000 years, there was never a war that broke out.

Veil then concluded that she saved the world and it is her time to remove herself from the equation, giving this specific timeline a space for another Veil with a much better life to live.

She then proceeded to reject her own existence in this timeline, using mana signatures that isolate her entirety against the time and space itself.

Due to this isolation, she will no longer exist in this timeline, potentially avoiding butterfly effects caused by her massive power that could break the balance.

She is not considered human anymore due to her constant exposure to the endless layers of mana and even her attainment of Celestial Expanse.

After drifting around a gray-colored Terra, she wandered in different cities, making sure that she cannot see anyone and the other way around.

She spent the day just walking everywhere, until she got an idea to make contact with the Supreme Being once more.

[…]

Veil manipulated the mana on her fingers as if she is working with threads and making pieces of cloth.

She is trying to make a way to open a gate that can access the realm of the Gods, Mara.

She constantly poured different amounts of mana types powered by the knowledge of the Celestial Expanse.

Crack!

After multiple attempts, she heard a crack in the space in front of her.

["Who dares try to barge inside the realm of the Gods?!"] The voice of Zurivis, God of Time and Space, spoke inside.

"I am a human who has reached a Realm of powers in the same level as Gods." Veil replied with a dignified tone.

["Enter, show yourself."] Zurivis invited her inside.

"I am Veil, an Adventurer. I wish to meet the Supreme Being." Veil introduced herself as she enters.

She belatedly realized that no one is inside the space she entered in, no signs of Gods or the like.

When she tried walking farther, various noises assaulted her ears.

Crack!

["Who dares try to barge inside the realm of the Gods?!"] The voice of Zurivis, was heard speaking to her again.

She did not respond this time.

[Enter, show yourself."] She was invited yet again by Zurivis, even if she did not respond.

She did not move and just observed.

Crack!

The loud noise played on her mind yet again, the sensation and the voices repeated over and over even if she does not move anymore.

Until then, she realized that she is stuck in a time loop, a mistake on trying to enter Mara without the necessary authority and permission.

This has to be Zurivis' work barring uninvited visitors inside their realm.

Veil is indeed powerful enough to be a God; however, she is not permitted to enter just because she has the ability to do so.

"Just end my time here." Veil suddenly spoke.

["Very well."] The cold mechanical voice spoke this time.

Wang!!!

A loud and high pitched hum now filled her ears, deafening her, her vision was also blinded temporarily by an unexplainable light growing inside her eyes.

The sensation is unusual and different from everything she has experienced throughout her lives and identities.

After a dozen seconds, her vision returned to her slowly, she found herself inside the same mirror world with an endless horizon and pure blue skies.

She really is out of idea this time; only confusion is left remaining on her mind, also seemingly forgetting the pain of losing everything and not getting any rewards.

'I wish I could change the world because the rules suck.' Veil lied down on her back as she thought of the rules governing the world which even the Gods themselves could not help.

Suddenly, the mechanical voice spoke again.

["I am the system. I am the ruler of everything that exists."]

["I am both limited by and beyond parameters."]

["I am going to grant your wishes only if you receive me fully."]

["I am you. You are me."]

["I am now bestowing all my authority to you."]

Crackkkk…
