The Legend of the Destroyer and the Order of the Light(part-2)

'The first world that the Evil God threw him into was one that was fairly close to the center, it was a world that was full of people who could wield magic, this world was called as Earthland, when the man called as Aron first arrived in this world, he was determined to go against the Evil God by protecting this world with everything he had, he soon became strong enough to hold his own against dragons who were on par with one of our low-class foot soldiers, he was content, he even had a family of his own, a wife and two children and an adopted sister, but then, the Evil God did what he does best, he manipulated the poor man into doing things that were considered a crime in that world, he had the family on the run constantly, until he sent one of his own monsters down, he sent a shapeshifter' Exione said as Arthrum clenched his fists as bad memories flashed in his head,

Shapeshifters were monsters that were created by the old ones to serve the Evil gods in their conquest, they had the ability to mimic a being to such as extent that not even their own blood relatives, not even the gods themselves would be able to tell the difference,

'The shapeshifter assumed the form of Aron and led his wife and children to an ambush set by the authorities of that world, killing them when they refused to divulge Arons location, it then assumed the form of his dying wife and made him believe that his sister was a servant of the Evil God that had killed his original sister and assumed her form after Aron left the shifter which faked its death, it then assumed the form of his sister and arrived at the location of his sister, it then met Aron halfway and 'exposed; itself as the servant of the Evil God, fully convincing Aron that his sister was someone that she was not' Exione said with sadness and Arthrum had a grim look,

'In the following battle, Aron fought his own sister whom he had brought up himself, the 17-year-old girl did not understand why her brother and father figure who had adopted her when she was 5 years old and was nothing but an orphan on the side of the road had attacked her, even though she was strong, she could not keep up with the monstrous power of someone who originated from an outer dimension, soon she became too injured to fight, taking advantage of this moment, the shapeshifter finished its job by killing the girl in front of Aron's own eyes, making him understand what had truly happened, and then, the shapeshifter proceeded to destroy the entirety of Earthland under the orders of the Evil God, it was at this moment, that something broke inside Aron and he started going down the path of no return' Exione said,

'The next world that he was thrown into was one where things like magic did not exist, a universe where humanity was a space-faring race and was fighting a war against an organization of creatures called as Covenant, it was here that he obtained his iconic armor that would strike fear into the hearts of everyone that saw him'

'Once again, the broken man found hope in this world, found a family in his fellow soldiers, only to lose them once more to the hands of the Evil God, tricked into destroying a fellow soldier by the name of John-117, to prevent him from becoming the champion of that universe and indirectly dooming the humanity of this universe'

'Once more the broken one was thrown into a universe where he was forced to fight creatures called as demons and kill a man only called as Doom Slayer'

'The cycle kept repeating, again and again, forcing the poor man to kill and destroy worlds against his will, with each kill, making him stronger along with him absorbing the essence of those he slew until the time came where he completely gave up resisting and did what he had to, but there was one thing that would not change, his hatred for the Evil God, and his hatred for himself' Exione said as Arthrum stood silent

"Even though you know so much, why did you not try to help him????" He shouted as, for the first time in millennia, his faith in the order was shaken,

'We tried Arthrum, there was once a time when we sent one of our paladins to try and rescue him, her name was Maya' Exione said,

'It was during the time when he was in a world where creatures were able to harness something known as KI, it allowed them to do wondrous things and strong enough to destroy galaxies, his target at that time was a young child called Goku who belonged to a race of beings called as Saiyans, Maya had disguised herself as one of the natives of the planet Earth of that universe and tried to approach him when she talked to him, she was startled to find out that he did not want to be saved' Arthrum did not even know how to process those words,

'The man called as Aron had long since died and was now being called as Zex, he had told Maya that he would not bow down to any god anymore, even if it was us, he said that he now only had one goal in his life, to kill the Evil God' Exione said,

Finally, Arthrum was released from the strange space as he returned to the throne room where the ten gods were still standing until he heard Exione say once more, this time in a normal voice,

"Make sure that you do not speak of this to anyone Arthrum, the only ones who know the truth about the destroyer is us ten gods and you," Exione said

Arthrum did not speak for some time before he said once again,

"Why do you keep this a secret? why allow the poor man to be resented by those of this dimension and many other dimensions ad a mindless killing machine?"

"It is because we cannot allow the people to sympathize with someone who refuses to acknowledge those who are better than him," said Qhiona said as she flared her power,

For the first time, Arthrum began to question his position as a paladin as he saw the gods for what they truly were, except for Exione, everyone else was nothing more than arrogant people who refused to help those who did not worship them,

It was on this day that Arthrum swore to himself that he would not be like them, that he would help anyone he can even if they were those that were too far gone,

It was on this day that the Saint of the Light was born.
