[SKILL - VISENDUS - FORMED]

That was the first three lines of text that greeted Erizos when the light dimmed. But of course he lacked interest in what was there.

No, more interesting was the fist of white looking Tepes approaching a red flame Tepes right beneath him.

Two things stood out to Erizos in that moment. One, both had no realization he was here. Two his body wasn't here.

He knew because he felt smaller than he normally was.

Yet that changed when he felt himself pull at it. His vision grew and his awareness expanded. Simultaneously the white Tepes noticed him finally. Why wouldn't it when a huge tall body with four eyes one more brighter than the other suddenly appeared right when it intended to take all the puny divine had.

The events that transpired next was a blur of motions. But once it ended Erizos had the white Tepes fist in a palm lock and Tepes was flying off back.

"Oops."

In a hurry to save the Azkolve he might have 'nudged' him away. Simultaneously, his eyes shone as Tepes details glowed for him to see.

"Divinity loss I expected after what he did. But what's Order drain?. He furrowed his eyes at the word before he sighed and shook his head.

Still he didn't put more attention to him as he fixed his gaze back on the White Tepes in front of him.

'How?'.

In the singular moment he had turned to look at Tepes the White Tepes had reformed itself to look like him. Now it was a white Erizos.

"Just great". he murmured then without wasting time he kicked away giving himself space.

The order drain was still bothersome to him. And not knowing how it happened was lighting up a suspicion for him.

Maybe Tepes had done something that affected his order or maybe this white thing did. Unsure he chose to be careful.

"Appraisal" he whispered.

[What's That. Wait,You Mean True Scan?]

'Yeah yeah. True scan' Erizos seethed. Annoyed at why the skill had been named true scan instead of appraisal. Appraisal sounded more convenient.

A skill formed on his time back on Fiarin while battling Quizarnukae.

[TRUE SCAN]

Using divinity/mana scan the body construct, soul essence and mana/divinity of a being. Can only work on beings at same or lower rank than you.

[DIVINITY - 20]

[~••°©°° - 20]

[DIVINITY - 0.02]

'What was that?'. Erizos asked after watching the info of the true scan glitch for ma minute.

[Updated It. Been Too Busy To Focus On Some Of Your Skills Update]

'I'm guessing this is because of my growth?.'

[Affirmative. Now focus]

An unseen strand of energy flowed from him and into the white thing that he and Berus feared was another All-father. Though from the punch he already caught Erizos would be lying if he said he wasn't underwhelmed.

The energy though unseen by others was quite visible to him. True scan worked like a probe to find out weakness and characteristics of other living things. So of course the energy doing the probing was invincible since no one would kike being scanned like that.

It was only visible to him because well it was his energy and also due to Visendus.

The energy filtered into the things body and formed a web of strings which flowed information back to Erizos.

[Well shit] Berus cursed.

"What. At least its not an All-father."

[Doesn't make it any easier. In fact this just opened up a whole can of worms for us]

"Is there something you'd like to tell me now?" Erizos asked mentally glaring.

[Don't bite me. Everything I do I'd for our good. If you knew all the dangers present you'd overwork and over stress and most likely die of a heart attack.]

[Though I doubt it's possible to die of a heart attack] he mumbled the last part to himself.

'I'm already over working. Luckily I don't even need sleep. What other overwork omg would I even be capable of'.

[You could always adjust the time stream to buy...]

Erizos eyebrows went up instantly as Berus went silent.

[N..not that it matters as it only applies to this mulitverse and region.]

'We'll discuss that later. For now. What do you know about this? It feels familiar like I should know it but I don't. '

[Thats the knowledge attempting to leak out. That's how it would be, should be for you without me. Feeling the answer at the tip of your tongue but unable to get it ]

'Yes yes. You are important I get it. Now spill'.

Berus obviously having averted his imminent scolding spilled all he knew about the thing.

Apparently it didn't have a name because it never got one or didn't want one. It was a being of pure order. According to Berus the multiverse was a birthed mashup of several energies. The main ones being Divinity, Chaos and order.

Unlike divinity that got poured into one pool to form an All-father, the chaos and order energies exploded within the spread of the multiverse into several smaller lumps called cores or fragments.

This cores could stay for eternity without action. But some larger one's usually attained sentience. The how was unknown. But it was more likely with those that were either lumped with a smaller piece of the opposite energy or that were bigger than normal without a balancer.

As such when energies like this gained sentience the awakened to roam the multiverse.

Unfortunately while being technically siblings order and chaos always fought themselves as destroying the other would make the winner stronger.

It was different though for Divinity. When Order and chaos found divinity it would halt to pursue.

"Basically. I'm like the firstborn and chaos and order are my younger siblings that hate the fact I got the birthright. Perfect."

[There's no escaping family drama.]

"Indeed."

The worst was there was only one divinity within each multiverse while the amounts of chaos and order were innumerable. Still while Divinity could grow through several actions chaos and order would only be stronger by devouring each other.

'Wait, what of anti-life. Where does this place it? Is it one of the energies.?'

[Think of it like the waste product of the reaction during the birth of the multiverse and by consequence you lot.]

'So, order and chaos are jealous of my birthright. While anti-life is jealous of the fact that we came out good while it became, well, it.'

[More or less. And stop calling it your birthright.]. Shrugging Erizos looked back at the Order being.

"So what's the rank thing?"

[This one just probably awoke not too long ago. Pawns are the weakest of the order beings. But that doesn't mean it weak. Just weaker than it would be at the next rank].

'What's the next rank?. And wait. Is this you naming it or its actual rank name?'

[Who else would name it moron?]

'Oh. How to defeat it.?'

[...]

'...'

[...]

'I'm waiting..' ".arghhh". His shout shook space as he felt a searing heat burn on his right chest.

Erizos eyes looked down to see a white fist rammed straight into his chest. Golden ichor flowed from the massive hole as a fist remained stuck there.

" Fast". he murmured. He barely noted it move. One moment it was there the next he chest was in pain.

"How?". He looked up to his face spotting a 'grin' on it. This thing was grinning.

" It's intelligent." he spoke.

[I think that's what happens after sentience.]

The Oder being had finally moved while he was busy with his mental argument. And it had struck hot going for the chest.

[I think I know what the Order drain means now. It's devouring the order within you] Berus shouted with astonishment.

Panicked Erizos moved bringing his arm up and slamming his elbow down on the things arm. The arm snapped out of shape yet the most didn't leave his chest.

Erizos felt his heart beating harshly as a feeling of weakness suddenly filtered within him. He was losing bodily mass too at an astonishing rate.

"What?. What is this.?". He muttered panicky.

[The consume each other to get stronger. It's taking the order in you. You need to get it off now!]

'I.. I can't. How do I kill this thing?'

[Well. I. it.. No. there. ...Ah]

'BERUS!' Erizos shouted mentally.

'I'll stall it. Think or were dead. No pressure '

[No pressure?. That's a full sun of pressure there]

Erizoa though had gone silent. This was his first fight close to death's door without even realizing it.

With Quizamukae he had been in control. Here though he wasn't and all he felt was instant dread at dying without achieving his wishes here. A second death as nothing would really not sit well with him.

Rule runes appeared all over surreonunfimg both beings on all sides and cutting out the sights of their spectators. The Eternals and a still shocked and recovering Tepes who stared at this surprising scene watched as their view was shrouded.

Then the space began to tremble.

Within the enclosure of rule runes Erizos gritted his teeth as he bombarded the being with several elements that actually did nothing but make it grin more and more.

" You know. You haven't actually introduced yourself". He prodded in an attempt to distract it. After all intelligent things could be distracted.

Yet it simply grinned more stretching his familiar lips wider.

"I doubt I smile that much" Erizos muttered. Both arms were now locked on the things arm and from then came a searing heat that manifested into soothing white and gold rising with a thick wave of feral greed for fuel.

Divine flames. Finally the things made a sound. A screech of pain most likely it's arm finally retreated as it jumped away.

Watching it Erizos panted as the thing halted a meter away from him. Its grin gone, its arm no more ablaze but bits of white matter flowed around the cooked spot patching it back up while it glared at him.

"We really shouldn't skip introductions. I'm Erizos and you are?" he asked.

It just stood there watching him. With a sigh he shrugged. After its first attack he was more prepared for it to attack but he didn't want to be on the defensive anymore.

"I'll call you Soldier White. Cause you're white and all." he made a slow bow facing down and simultaneously he moved.
