INTERLUDE: God of destruction

In a void, there was a man sitting in a luxurious red sofa. He had a charming face with long golden hair and greyish blue eyes. He was the god of destruction, Velvet. He was eating a red apple while looking at a silver ball projecting an image of a young girl in front of him. It was Aurora, as he had said, after she departed this void he started watching her every move. The void was his dominion. When he first inherited it after he was born, it was full of life. But as he does best, he destroyed everything until all that was left was a void of nothingness. But it was not enough. Getting entertainment in this desolate place was impossible, and the only way he got to enjoy his eternity was by getting Elise riled up enough that she would fight him so that he could have some fun. But after the mortal died, he hadn't been able to have fun since Elise would not fight him since she was scared of ending another existence. He didn't agree with her since he saw mortals as nothing more that entertainment, just a side project to make him happy. He had already destroyed many planets for incurring his wrath. But just after Elise would create another one. It was an endless cycle where everything was born and then inevitably reborn after its death. That was just how it worked.

Velvet suddenly got out of the sofa and then said "That's it! I can just go down there and accompany her on her journey. I bet it will be more exiting like that!" But just as he finished his sentence a man with dark brown hair and brown eyes appeared frowning at his decree. "No" he said "we shouldn't interfere more in her fate, it has already been changed once before." But velvet rebutted with "Don't you change the fate of everything brother?". "This comment made him very unhappy and he suddenly said "Fine, I will let you go, but only if you can hit me once in battle". At that velvets face lit up with an evil grin and he said "How do you know me so well!".

He put his hand up to the screen where you could see Aurora sleeping and then said "come to me" and at his masters command the swordstaff Shadowsong came to him and was engulfed in a black aura that defied the auras coming from the other deities.

Velvet started attacking by chanting "destruction ray" which made a ray of darkness go toward Atlas. And Atlas just said "Change fates" which changed his fate to make it so that the ray didn't hit him.

This went on as Velvet would use more destructive spells like "Sea of destruction" which made the space around them distort to a sea of dark waves which destroyed everything disintegrate in its path. But Atlas would just make it disappear. And this went on and on until Velvet used the skill "Teleport" and teleported just behind him but he just dodged and just after that Velvet used "Eclipse" and everywhere there was a shadow of a moon coming towards them. Atlas tried to escape but Velvet bound him with "Chains of destruction". Atlas tried finding a fate in which he wouldn't be hit, but it just wasn't possible.

For the first time in centuries, Atlas was beaten even if it was by another of the three supreme deities of the universe. The other two where the only ones who could match him in power, and even he was the strongest among them. As the mortals would never comprehend his power and the other lower gods would not be able to match them.

He frowned and said to Velvet "Go on then, but don't use a lot of your power, it will be too much for the mortals to handle "

"See you later then." Said velvet while putting on a hat and going through a portal.
