Chapter 50: New Awakening

Leo puts the scythe away with gentle care and walks away to another room. He wipes the sweat from his head and then goes into another room. The room has a church look, with even the same setup with seats, but at the center was a big statue of a book. at the front of the room was another statue of a man holding two swords. These swords were black and red. Their handles are beautiful, they had a type of galaxy color painted on them. Leo walks up to the man statue and gets down on his knees and starts to say.

"hey… master… How have you been? It's been a long while. The god of chaos trapped me and Iris in a time loop, so guess what…. I am over a billion years old now but still younger than you haha. Look, master… I am so sorry, if I had watched my mouth that day, you would have still been here teaching me. I am so sorry… I can't change the past but if I could I would. if not for Iris and my sister I would have taken my own life to atone for my sin of getting you killed," Leo says as tears flow out of his eyes.

"Just for you to know master…. There has not been a single day where I have not missed you, and your teachings. I wish I had just watched my mouth back then. I saw the price of being arrogant, a lesson that I have learned from you but didn't listen to. Anyways, master, I will see you when all of this is over, you can take your anger out on me then," Leo says, wiping the tears from his eyes.

A spirit watching this shakes its head, uses the last of its true qi, and manifests itself.

"STOP you, stupid child," the spirit says to Leo.

Leo stops in his tracks as he senses this spirit and stares at it for a second before saying. "Master!..... I am so sorry I didn't mean to. I just wanted.." Leo tries to say but is cut off.

"Poor Leo, you know, I have waited a long time for you to come BACK!!! No, ever since I died and you did not return here, my only thoughts were you either died or been imprisoned. Do you know what I have been feeling for the longest time Leo," Leo's master says with a heartbroken tone.

"No..," Leo says with a broken tone.

" I felt regret, and sadness and I was ashamed, I am your master who's supposed to protect and guide you, but I couldn't even do that job right. I let you and your wife suffer for that. I am sorry. I am sorry for failing as a master and teacher," Leo's master says in a regretful tone.

"But you didn't, I am one of the strongest here, but I am not strong enough to protect everyone I care for and I am stuck with barely any growth," Leo says with a frustrated tone.

"I knew there will be a time when you will be strong, stronger than me, stronger than some gods but will become stuck in your development," Leo's master says.

"Ya I am stuck how did you know that I will become stuck," Leo aks

"Because I was you once, I had people I cared for and it was not until they died did I become unstuck. I learned that the more care for someone the more that it's going to hold you back from being the real you and letting go," Leo's master says.

"So not being myself is holding me back???," Leo asks confusingly.

"Alright Let's not be a dumbass you know damn well you are not acting like yourself you hid that part away when I died right," Leo's master says to him.

"But I have changed I am not that annoying arrogant idiot anymore," Leo says

"Alright, are you going to keep hiding, or do I have to start talking about all the stuff you have done," Leo's master says with a joking tone.

"No no you don't have to do that, fine I will do as you say," Leo says while scratching his head.

Leo closes his eyes and enters his mind space. in his mind space, there is a safe. Leo looks at the safe and sighs. He opens the safe and sees a black and white version of himself fly into his body then Leo exits his mind space, and fully accepts these versions of himself. Then a huge golden aurora surrounds Leo and shoots into the sky. Leo's hair goes back to its long white form, and his body starts to break down and rebuild itself. Leo's eyes turn pure gold and his dragon wings and scales change color to pure gold. Leo dantian breaks open and his spiritual energy spreads throughout his entire body. Leo's mind space fully expanded and Leo has finally become one with himself. All of the astral chains break and leave Leo's body. Leo who was floating in the air lands on the ground with a newer and purer form.

.........…

In another place, a golden beam shot out from the ground, and they all just stared at it with amazed eyes.

"Who is the person who just walked into a godhood or has that person become a deity," a person asks.

"How the hell are we supposed to know," another person says.

"I know who it is and we are going to fight that person very soon. Whether we like it or not because that is the path the god of chaos has chosen for us. we need to be prepared," The Leader of this group says to them.

"It the lowly god of drain that has Awakened, oh no that is bad," a god says

"What happens if he is more powerful than all of us put together? What's going to happen if you decide to kill all of us?" Another god questions and asks.

"Well if he is stronger than us then that is too bad we just have to deal with it and suck it up and die," the leader says.

"Sigh fucking god of chaos you have to make our lives so hard what the fuck you bitch," a god says with pain in their voice.

"sigh he just has to provoke everyone who becomes stronger than him," a god says.

"Would y'all stop compiling and start figuring out a strategy? That was the strongest awakening that anyone has seen in years and if those people say they will try to get in favor with him and attack us. we need to prepare or else we will die at his hands,' the leader of the twelve battle gods says.

"Fucking hell let's do this get every god here now. their normal lives are over, they are needed NOW!!!," the leader yells out.
