Death? (4)

But, as if having a mind of its own, it exploded with this immense energy, creating a massive explosion that destroyed half of the city and the forest which was located next to the east side of the city.

.

.

.

BOOM!!!

"Huh?!!"

The City lord let out a shocked voice as he and Seth heard and felt the massive explosion of energy a few kilometers away from their battle.

Immediately after, Seth's face changed from that of fake worry into through worry as he blasted over with a bad feeling gripping his heart.

Of course, he previously had total confidence in Jin, but after hearing and feeling such a loud explosion that brimmed with immense destructive energy. The feeling of confidence disappeared as he instantly knew that only death awaited those who were inside a radius of one kilometer from that explosion. And knowing full well that Jin was at the center of the said explosion, he couldn't help but grow with worry.

But, would the City Lord ever lose this chance to immediately kill this being, this fiend, this abomination who has now lost his protection.

HAAAAA!!!!

With a massive build-up of his energy, his black-colored scythe now brimming with an immense glow of blood-red was thrown towards Seth's neck.

ROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!

But...

.

.

.

'Is this the realm of nothingness?'

Jin said out loud, sadly it was impossible to hear it as inside of this place nothing could be heard.

'1, 2, 3, 4, 5,' Jin started counting out loud, though, his voice only resounded in what he could only call his mind.

.

.

.

'87600, 87601, 87602, 87603,'

Jin continued counting as he realized that he may reside hear for the rest of eternity. Yes, Jin has been inside of this place for what could be said to be ten years as it showed zero signs of changing in the scenery.

If it was anyone else, they would have lost their minds but, Jin did not have a mind to lose anyway.

.

.

.

'8760001, 8760002, 8760003,'

What did these numbers mean...

It meant that Jin was stuck inside of here for one thousand years...

Even a being such as himself who was missing all of his screws found himself suffering as he took a break from counting as he thought.

'Is this my retribution for killing so many innocents?'

.

.

.

'876000000, 876000000, 876000000, 876000000'

Jin kept repeating this number in his mind for the last few million years of time as he felt what it feels like to be completely alone for what seemed to be an eternity.

Ever since reaching 876000000 seconds inside of here, he has come to hate being alone but, after another 876000000 seconds of time, he grew to love being alone in a slightly twisted way.

876000000 seconds after that, he began seeing visions though. It was not visions of his years alive as it were instead visions of blood, darkness, bones and finally, he began to see killing. It was not ordinary murders, but it was instead wars, wars on the level of worlds.

He saw beings of different shapes and sizes fight beings in different worlds as they brutally murdered and caused mass genocide.

Every second, every millisecond of his time here, Jin was plagued with images of wars and deaths.

876000000 seconds after the emergence of the visions, the world wars scaled to a higher level as they became galactic wars with billions of worlds. The number of beings Jin saw was incredible as he was unable to count even 1% of them.

876000000 seconds later, Jin began to feel the last moments of life being drained from all the inhabitants of the wars. Every time a being died, Jin would take over the body and feel as if he was the one that died.

Slowly, the last pieces of consciousness he had begun disappearing but, Jin was not going to allow that to happen, he wanted to be free from this torture.

Slowly but surely, he began embracing this feeling of death as even when the number of beings reached an insane amount, he did not falter in embracing death. The universal wars and all the beings in it that died were embraced in Jin's consciousness as he grew to hate loneliness and instead love the feeling of death.

876000000 seconds later.....

Jin, whose consciousness was hanging on thin threads and still embracing the feeling of death, suddenly became fully whole again. Yes, after trillions of seconds, and embracing an uncountable number of beings from multiverse scale wars, Jin's consciousness was fully reawakened as he found himself floating in a dark space.

Suddenly, inside the dark space in which Jin floated in, a bright light came to view as a spinning vortex, and multiple cracks in the very void formed as it surrounded a whole from which the bright light blasted out. Jin, who saw this, immediately flashed across the void as if it was his domain as he entered into the whole, not even hesitating a little.

Entering a sticky location, Jin's consciousness was immediately flooded with information as he knew exactly what he needed to do.

.

.

.

Boom!!

In the outside world, a mere millisecond after the massive explosion of energy from the lightning tribulation, Jin's body which was completely charred and was missing a couple of limbs and a head exploded into smithereens.

After the immensely loud explosion from the lightning, this one wasn't worth mentioning as no one hear it. And, instantly after, the smoke which covered the location mysteriously disappeared, revealing to the Abyss World what a body made by divine beings would look like.

Looking to the skies, Jin realized that the Abyssal Tribulation which he underwent millions of years ago had disappeared even before it had finished. His lazy eyes which were still that of a blind person gazed in the surroundings as he picked up on the scene of his little Seth being sneak attacked by some puny City Lord which he fought millions of years ago.

ROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!

Escaping from his lips was a roar that resounded in a radius of one hundred kilometers as his body disappeared from its location.

.

.

.

Seth, who sensed the sudden spike in energy that was approaching his direction from behind, immediately turned around as he realized that he made a rookie mistake. As his concern for Jin reached unbelievable heights, he completely forgot about the fight he was currently in.

The memories of what he will have to go through for the next two days surfaced in his mind as his body shivered in fear. He would not pretend and act like he was not afraid as he was currently afraid of what he was about to undertake.

ROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!

But, powerfully resounding in his ears, was a primal roar as his mind quickly thought of a reason why a roar like that would resound in Jin's location.

But, immediately after, and with a flash of darkness, a humanoid figure with long silver hair that reached to his bare feet appeared in front of him.

Seth gazed into the pupil-less silvery eyes of this being as he immediately shifted his gaze because of the fear he felt once he saw the symbols that were engraved in these pupil-less silvery eyes.

The beam of energy was the least of Seth's fears seeing the markings imprinted on Jin's pupil-less eyes.

What did he see?

What he saw was the symbol of two bones that formed an X. The symbol was imprinted in both of Jin's pupil-less eyes, leaving Seth within the clutches of what felt like death.
