Chapter 189: Soul

Death is a concept.

A concept that means end, but what doesn't have a beggining doesn't have an ending, but what if it had a beggining? Azathoth didn't have a beggining, but something needs a life to die, to which the Endless One had a strange idea- Spreading their blue mist around the God of Evil, bringing the God inside themselves, on which they began using their [Motherhood] Divinity alongside their [Life] Divinity to give Azathoth the concept of life within itself.

So, the Endless One, in that single second, gave birth to Azathoth.

So it could therefore fully affect the God with their [Death] Divinity.

It affected Azathoth really well after he was given birth to, the flesh of the Void God started to wither and die- He never considered that one day he would experience something so painful in his life, his internal soul was being ripped out of his body by the Endless One's [Harvest] Divinity, but Azathoth's will could stop it from actually ripping his soul out of his body- It was very painful to the Conceptual God that was becoming physical, was becoming an embodiment of a concept by the influence of the Endless One's [Motherhood] Divinity.

It was born.

It was alive.

It could die easier now.

Alongside their [Death] divinity, their [Time] Divinity started to accelerate the lifespan of the Eldritch God, who screamed in agony as tendrils of [Evil] pulled apart their formless form, trying to kill them before they could even finish what they wanted to do- This all was a distraction, the Void God didn't know it, but they were slowly consuming his form bit by bit, piece by piece.

-Flashback-

"Eny?" Turning his face to stare at his beloved Luke, Enychta hummed as he kept braiding Pruno's hair, there was the sudden fluttering of a butterfly's wings that scattered pollen all over their magical domain, it was a beautiful scene. "What would happen if we were to die?"

"Well..." Enychta kisses Pruno's forehead before turning his body sideways and hugging Luke. "I know i would come back for you two, always searching for your love, always looking for it, nerver ending." Enychta bit down on Luke's ear, smirking as he got a moan out of his teasing tongue that licked Luke's neck right after. "As an [Eldritch] God, i will simply continue to exist in another universe in another way... But we have our [Love] Divinity, it will always bring us back together, so even if we die, our souls would find each other no matter how long it takes- We would reunite."

Pruno's heavy eyelids fluttered like the wings of the butterfly that flew past them a few seconds ago to spread the pink pollen on the flowers around them- His languid and peaceful appaerence made Eny's heart calm down, he hugged them tighter to his body, swearing to protect them-

Well, he would.

-Flashback Ends-

He would.

So when the Void God took notice of their incessant devouring of his power, he grew arrogant in his might, slashing at them with his powerful and mighty tendrils of flesh and darkness, trying to hit the galaxy-like entity they were, but failing miserably when the [Dimension] Divinity activated and use their intagibility to successfully dodge out of every single attack that was sent towards them.

Even the endless black holes that appeared beside them, trying to suck them into the singularity to destroy them, but failing miserably when Enychta single handedly used his [Endless night] Divnity as the Endless One to stop any and every sigle one of those black holes from appearing. He closed them before they could even properly form into their now spread body, their blue mist and stars spreading through the {Box}.

Azathoth started to grow worried that maybe he would be defeated, so in desperation, he used his [Destruction] Divinity to spread all over the {Box} and shattered the very foundation of this endless dimension, trying to destroy it and erase it from existence, so he could go to his Outer Space and have a 100% chance of victory- But Of course something had to happen then and there- Chaos forsaw this as the breaking point, if Azathoth broke from within this dimension, unforseen consequences would plague the universe forever, and it would be done, they would lose.

So, Chaos simply let the barrier go, no longer holding it, instead it place said barrier surrounding the {Box}, since it was only a dimension that Enychta could enter at will, sealing the entity of Azathoth within the {Box} so it couldn't escape it. It took a lot from Chaos to be able to move the barrier, so Lucifer, Nemeth, and Mephisto were keeping the other Outer Gods at bay while Nyx and Erebus erected a temporary barrier to at least stop them from entering the Universe for a while.

Azathoth, seeing no other way to escape, decided to fight till the end- Attack after Attack, psycich blast after blast, energy constructs after constructs, and there were even some conceptual attacks that destroyed ans shattered the conceptual bones of Azathoth- His backbone, his pillar, his support against everything, his [Madness] was supressed by the [Gentleness] Divinity, making him weaker, as the next Divnity was the [Evil], supressed by the [Love] Divninty, the [Chaos] Divinity was supressed by the Endless One's own [Chaos] Divnity...

Everything Azathoth used, they supressed- the answer?

Their [Love] Divnity's special ability- Eros Protection, the ability to rewrite reality to protect their loved ones, and such ability was being constantly used to supress Azathoth, who couldn't fight back due to this ability that was consuming all of their divine energy, said energy that was being created within them at enormous speeds.

At that moment, Azathoth's flesh was deoured, his soul was consumed, his Divinities were stored- But then, his soul awoke for revenge, it was fueled by rage and destruction- It exploded within them, right as they were consuming it to erase it from existence.

Their strenght was that their souls were close to one another.

They could share their divinities like that!

But if one soul was damaged... The other one would also be damaged.

They all were damaged- They shouldn't be able to suvive this, because a damaged soul simply gets weaker and weaker as time passes on, if it can't recover fast, then it will surely vanish.

But sometimes, things that shouldn't happen, happen- Like, let's say, an entity from the Space Between Worlds that through an arduos use of energy, it managed to change the outcome of an event that would cause a disaster? Yeah, it happened, because I happened.

You may not know me, but i've been narrating this for an endless amount of time- Watching it happen for so many times, as this world was destroyed and they all died, then that Omniverse would slowly be corrupted by the Outer Gods, until they spread to other Omniverses. I am just a Narrator, i cannot change anything, i can only tell you what happens- But after eons accumulating energy, i managed to change the outcome of only one event- This event.

Their souls would have shattered, their conciousness would be forever lost in the OMniverses out there, unabel to live happy lives, since they missed something they didn't know they had, driven to Madness by their endless love for people that in their Omniverse did not exist. They would suffer greatly- Forever and more... And now? Now that i've changed something, I'm no longer a mere Narrator.

No.

I'm an Author now.

-Scene Ends-

Author Note:

This shows how originally i wanted their souls to shatter, and then i would end the series there on the cliffhanger, just to make a series where you get to see what happened to each piece of their souls, as they slowly wither away.

But i'm not that cruel.
