Shhhwwwwiiiinng!
Traveling through the doorways did not take more than thirty seconds. Alusec only felt a cold breeze greet him when he came out on the other side.
After what felt like a lifetime of waiting Alusec finally opened his eyes....
What greeted his sight was an empty space. There was no planet like he expected to see.
Trrrriiiiinnnn!
A dreadful aura was starting to form around him.
"WHERE IS TRINBAD?"
Ruby and Vitu finally appeared from the other side and saw the same thing as Alusec..... An empty place in space. Trinbad could not be found at its initial position, even the stars were missing.
Ruby and Vitu finally understood the reason for the oppressive feeling that came upon them when they arrived at space and stared at Alusec.
"Miracule, where is Trinbad?" Alusec asked again.
"Master, I didn't want to tell you but.... Trinbad has long disappeared from the face of the universe." Miracule voice echoed in space bringing Alusec to a realization.
"WHAT!..... HOW?... WHO?.... WHO DID IT?" Alusec asked in rage. The dreadful aura around him intensifying.
Ruby felt her body vibrating as she struggled to move, even though Alusec was not at full power, the aura of a once very powerful god was not something that just anyone could endure.
"Master, calm down.... Miracule, this is all just a misdirection, right? We must have arrived at a different part of the galaxy, right?" Ruby questioned trying to calm Alusec down but...
"Unfortunately, Miss Ruby, this is the correct coordinates.... this is where planet Trinbad used to be." Miracule confirmation erased every doubt that they had.
'That's why the other passageways were dark... they couldn't connect to a place that doesn't exist.' Ruby and Vitu thought at the same time, meanwhile....
"HEY, MIRACULE, YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION!.... WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?" Alusec asked with a deep voice full of killing intent.
Miracule could see everywhere connected to the castle, so he had footages of the planets' destruction.
A huge screen appeared in the air showing footage of close to five hundred years ago when Alusec was already imprisoned. All of them watched carefully as Some gods appeared on the screen, hovering in the same space that Alusec was floating in right now, staring at the green and Violet colored planet beneath them.
The gods were about thirty in number. One of them flew forward and stood opposite them while saying, "It's time to commence the cleansing of the universe by destroying the planet that the abominable god grew up in. It would be a stain, to let such a planet exist in our universe. I will now call forth god Calicrum to do the honors." The god spoke up and the return back to the sidelines.
Alusec saw the face of a man that he detested so much, the blue-haired bastard who betrayed him.
Calicrum being the center of attention flew forward and spoke, "I thank my fellow gods for giving me the opportunity to erase any potential threat from our universe.
As we all know that when a person finally reaches goodhood he/she can only become a real god by governing a planet.... when a god forms a contract and becomes the Lord of a planet, he/she would become more powerful as long as that planet and it's people remain in existence. The Godly abomination known as Alusec has several planets that he governs when some of us don't even have one.... now that we have destroyed him, we have to erase everything and anything that can give rise to his power, so he won't be able to come back as we don't know the full extent of his abilities." Calicrum said and turned to look at the planet beneath him while the gods nodded in agreement.
Alusec watched the footage with his killing intent intensifying. Ruby was barely able to breathe from the pressure of his killing intent.
"Let this be the first of his planets we destroy. After this we'll destroy each and every planet he governed, giving him no chance to return!" Calicrum voiced with a righteous look while raising his hand up.
"Time and space saber!" Calicrum shouted out and a two-meter long saber made of light appeared in his hand.
Alusec recognized that saber because he gave it to Calicrum as a birthday gift.
'The good I did is coming back to bite me in the ass.' Alusec thought with self-ridicule.
"Increase!" Calicrum shouted again and the saber kept increasing in size until it was as big as a star.
"Timestamp of death recalibration," He said softy while slashing at the planet below.
Slaaaasssshhh!
The slash traveled towards the planet with speed, and when it made contact with the lower atmosphere, the color of the planet started to dim.
This continued til the planet became grey and crumbled altogether.
The planet aged and disappeared in the span of several seconds.
Alusec who was watching the footage felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest.
The pain he felt at this moment was worse than being imprisoned.
He stared at the planet disappearing as droplets of tears escaped from his eyes floating and drifting away in the infinite space.
He remembered his days as a mortal on this planet, living with his master, even though in his young age he was treated with contempt by people around him because he was different, his heart was still filled with love due to his master.
His master descendants and the people he grew to love as part of his family.
The view from the mountain top that filled him with so much hope and happiness.
He remembered putting his master to rest in the grounds of that planet.
He remembered rising to godhood and saving his planet from the oppression of the former god that ruled the planet. The smile on the faces of the innocent finally free from oppression.
The unbreakable bonds he formed.
'I have failed you all.' Alusec eyes were filled with pain and a fresh desire for revenge. Before he was doing it for himself but now he swore that he was going to avenge the lives of the innocent that were killed because of him.
"Master, that's not all...." Miracule spoke, removing Alusec from his thoughts.
Alusec stared at the screen on to see the footage change and show another planet being destroyed.
"Aritis" Anytime a planet popped up on the screen Miracule would say the name out to confirm that Alusec governed it before it was destroyed.
"Crurandor"
"Urkinea..."
The same thing happened seventeen times and Alusec happened to governed all these planets. Every time a planet's name was mentioned, Alusec felt like a part of him was dying.
And finally, the footage came to an end at the 28th planet.
Tears were no longer rolling down Alusec eyes when he opened it. Only pain, self-blame, anguish, and a strong thirst for revenge was left.
"Miracule, open a doorway to the celestial border," Alusec commanded, with his killing intent rising like waves.
Ruby gasped for breath, "Master, don't do anything stupid... you're not in your right senses now." Ruby spoke trying to calm him down.
How could she not understand how he felt when she remembered the way he always spoke about his home planet and the ones he lorded over. She remembered he was very fond of them.
"Yes, my Lord you're very weak right now," Vitu spoke trying to calm him down.
"You should wait till you have recovered more of your powers my Lord, befo..." Miracule added but was cut short by Alusec with a single sentence.
"SILENCE!" Alusec commanded with authority in his voice and they immediately kept quiet.
"Open the doorway now!" Alusec commanded again.
"Right away my Lord, this will only take a while..." Miracule replied.
"THEY SHALL FEEL MY WRATH! THEY SHALL PAY IN BLOOD!" Alusec spoke, his voice seething with rage.
