The Eternal Void

I walk forward slowly and cautiously, my footsteps echoing softly in the vast space around me. The presence I sensed is getting stronger and stronger, and I know that I am getting closer to Aeon with every step.As I walk, the landscape around me begins to shift and change. The empty space gives way to a series of pathways and corridors, each one leading in a different direction. They seem to go on endlessly, spiraling and twisting through the center of the Omniverse like veins through a heart.

I continue walking, taking each turn carefully and keeping my senses sharp. The presence is getting stronger, and I know that I am getting close to Aeon's location. The air is thick with tension and power, and I feel a sense of anticipation building within me.

After what feels like an eternity of walking, I finally arrive at a large chamber. The presence is so strong here that it nearly knocks me off my feet, and I know that I have reached Aeon's location.

As soon as I step into the chamber, I sense a sudden shift in the energy around me. I barely have time to register what is happening when a blast of energy comes flying towards me, aimed right at my face.

Reflexively, I dodge to the side just in time, the blast of energy barely missing my head. I stagger backward, shaken by the unexpected attack, and realize that Aeon has been waiting for me.

As I recover from the attack, two figures appear on either side of me. They are imposing and fearsome, radiating power and authority. They are clearly Aeon's creations, powerful beings that serve as his guardians and protectors.

They move to flank me, their eyes fixed on me with a mix of curiosity and hostility. I sense that they are on high alert, ready to defend Aeon at all costs.

The Guardians speak in unison, their voices deep and booming: "Who dares to seek out lord Aeon here at the heart of the Omniverse?"

They move closer to me, their eyes scanning me up and down, assessing my strengths and weaknesses.

I square my shoulders and meet the Guardians' gaze, my voice steady and confident. "I am the Void Beyond All, and I seek out Aeon to gain knowledge of the Eternal Void."

The Guardians exchange a glance, clearly taken aback by the mention of the Void Beyond All and the Eternal Void. Their eyes flicker with surprise and curiosity, and they seem to be sizing me up with new respect.

One of them speaks up, his voice gruff and authoritative. "You are the Void Beyond All? We have heard tales of your power and ferocity. But you are not welcome here, at the center of the Omniverse."

The other Guardian chimes in, his voice equally intimidating. "You are lucky that we have not yet decided to destroy you where you stand. But if you take a single step closer to Aeon, your fate will be sealed."

I let out a deep sigh, shaking my head at the Guardians' arrogance and ignorance. "You don't seem to understand who you are dealing with. I am the Void Beyond All, the very essence of the void itself. You are just Aeon's lackeys, mere puppets in his vast web of power. If you stand in my way, your fate will be dire indeed."

The Guardians exchange a glance, their eyes flashing with anger and defiance. But beneath that anger, I can sense a flicker of doubt, a realization that they may have underestimated me.

One of them speaks up again, his tone defiant. "You may be powerful, but we are the guardians of Aeon. We have been tasked to protect him at all costs, and we will not let you pass without a fight.

I give them a side eye looking confused so with a snap of my fingers, I summon my beyond void eater, a fearsome creature that feeds on the very fabric of reality itself. The Guardians let out a gasp of shock and surprise, their eyes widening as they take in the sight of the massive beast standing beside me.

I can't help but smirk as I see the Guardians' reaction to my beyond void eater. I know that they are intimidated, their confidence shaken by the sheer size and power of the creature. "Do you still think you can take me, now that I have this little friend by my side?"

The Guardians exchange nervous glances, clearly shaken by the presence of my beyond void eater. They take a step back, their bravado fading in the face of such overwhelming power.

Just as the tension is building to its peak, I hear an authoritative voice ring out through the chamber. The voice is powerful and commanding, with a hint of amusement in its tone. I recognize it immediately as Aeon's.

"Enough." The word echoes through the chamber, and the tension dissipates like a cloud of smoke. The Guardians straighten up and step back, their eyes fixed on a point behind me.

I turn to see Aeon himself standing there, his eyes fixed on me with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. He is tall and imposing, radiating power and wisdom.

The Guardians bow deeply, their voices filled with deference and respect. "Master Aeon, we were trying to protect you from this intruder."

Aeon chuckles softly, his voice like the rumble of thunder. "I can take care of myself, my loyal guardians. I was simply curious to see who dared to seek me out in my inner haven."

As I look at Aeon, I notice with a start that he is dressed in a pair of simple pajamas, looking almost mundane and ordinary compared to the powerful presence he radiates. I can't help but wonder why the all-powerful Aeon would choose to be in such casual attire.

Aeon notices my confusion and chuckles softly. "Ah, my attire may seem strange to you, but I simply find it more comfortable this way. Clothes are a mere triviality to a being of my power, and I see no need to encumber myself with formal wear."

I nod, understanding his reasoning but still finding the contrast between his casual appearance and his immense power a little jarring.

Aeon continues to size me up, his eyes fixed on me with a hint of amusement. "So you are the Void Beyond All, eh? I've heard tales of your power and ferocity. I must say, you are even more impressive in person."

I meet his gaze steadily, refusing to be intimidated by his power or his authority. I sense that Aeon is testing me, trying to gauge my strength and measure my character.

Aeon raises an eyebrow at my confident grin, clearly amused by my audacity. "You are a fearless one, aren't you? It seems that the legends have not exaggerated your boldness."

I smile back, refusing to let him get the upper hand. I'm not going to let him intimidate me, no matter how powerful he may be.

"I have come to seek your knowledge, Aeon." My voice rings out strong and clear, my eyes fixed on him with determination.

Aeon nods, his eyes fixed on me. "I see. You seek knowledge, and you have come to me to gain it. That is a bold and perhaps reckless move, given our positions. Are you sure you want to ask me for this knowledge?"

I hesitate for a moment, considering his words. I know that asking Aeon for knowledge is a risky move, given his power and authority. But I also know that I have little choice. He is the only one who might be able to give me the answers I need.

I straighten up, meeting Aeon's gaze with determination. "Yes, I am certain. I need the knowledge that you have. I need to know about the Eternal Void."

Aeon's eyes flicker with interest at the mention of the Eternal Void. Clearly, this is a subject that he knows something about, and that intrigues him.

"The Eternal Void... a dangerous and mysterious place, indeed. What is it about the Eternal Void that you wish to know?"

I take a deep breath and begin to explain the connection between the Eternal Void and the Absolute Void. I tell him about the power and secrets that lie within the Eternal Void, and my need to understand it in order to harness its power.

Aeon listens intently, his eyes fixed on me as I speak. When I finish, he takes a moment to think, his expression grave and thoughtful.

"I see. So you seek to harness the power of the Eternal Void, do you? That is a dangerous and difficult task, my friend. The Eternal Void is a dangerous place, filled with powerful forces that few can comprehend or control."

I nod, recognizing the truth in his words. I understand the dangers, but I am desperate. I need to use the power of the Eternal Void to accomplish my goals, and I am willing to take the risk, plus I already harnessed the power of the absolute void itself already so I need to know about the Eternal void too. 

Aeon looks even more intrigued at my revelation that I have already harnessed the power of the Absolute Void. "You have harnessed the power of the Absolute Void, you say? That is an impressive feat indeed. But why do you need to understand the power of the Eternal Void as well?"

I take a deep breath, knowing that my answer may sound audacious and arrogant, but also true. "Because I am more than the Void Beyond All. I am not satisfied with what I already possess. I want to become more powerful, to transcend all limits and become truly supreme and to get stronger to protect the one's I love. 

A Aeon's expression softens at my words. "I see. You seek power not for personal gain, but to protect those you love. That is admirable and rare." Aeon pauses, his eyes fixed on me with a mix of curiosity and admiration. "You are an intriguing creature indeed. I sense a great potential in you, one that perhaps even I can't fully comprehend."

I sense that Aeon is beginning to take an interest in me, his eyes studying me with renewed curiosity. He knows that I am not a typical being, and that I have goals and motivations that go beyond just gaining power for power's sake.

Aeon nods, his eyes glinting with determination. "Very well, I will take you to the Eternal Void. But I warn you, it will be a dangerous journey, and you must be prepared to face many challenges and dangers along the way."

I straighten up, ready for anything. "I am prepared. I will do whatever it takes to gain the knowledge and power I seek."

Aeon nods again, his eyes fixed on me with respect. "I believe you. But before we begin, there are a few things you should know about the Eternal Void and the nature of its power."

Firstly, you must understand that the Eternal Void is a place of extremes. It is a realm of pure chaos and destruction, where the laws of reality are bent and twisted in ways that defy comprehension. The power that resides there is both seductive and corrupter, and can easily consume unwary souls who seek to wield it

Aeon nods, his expression grave and thoughtful. The Eternal Void is a place of pure nothingness, where all concepts of reality and existence are meaningless. It is a place where nothing is certain and everything is uncertain, where the very concept of boundlessness and surpass-ness is meaningless.

Aeon's words echo in my mind, the immensity of the Eternal Void's power and sheer chaotic nature taking hold in my mind. "Also. The Eternal Void is a place where the concept of non-existence and absolute all are just ideas, just words used to describe something that is beyond all words and description. It is a place of utter chaos and destruction, where everything we know and understand melts away into meaningless. But it is also a place of great power, a power that can be harnessed and controlled by those who are strong enough to brave its depths.

I can sense the danger in Aeon's words, the sense of unease that comes from even speaking about such a place. "Is it possible to survive the Eternal Void?"

Aeon shakes his head slowly, his expression solemn and grave. "No, it is not possible for any mortal being to survive in the Eternal Void for very long. The power and chaos there are too great, and the very nature of the Void is hostile to life and existence. Few have ever dared to venture into the Eternal Void, and fewer still have returned to tell the tale. Those who were strong enough to survive even a short time there described the experience as one of pure terror and madness, as the Void sought to consume them and absorb their very essence.

But those who have glimpsed the power of the Eternal Void have always been changed. They may have returned to us physically, but their minds and spirits were forever altered by their brush with the endless and the unknown.

I feel worried and asked. 

What happened to them. 

Aeon sighs, his expression grim and solemn. "Some have gone mad, lost in the endless chaos and destruction of the Eternal Void. Their minds shattered, they are shadows of their former selves, unable to distinguish between reality and madness."

Aeon pauses, his eyes fixed on me with a warning. "Others have become twisted and corrupted, their souls irrevocably altered by the power of the Void. They no longer resemble the people they once were, their very essence consumed and transformed by the Eternal Void.

Few have managed to escape the changes and effects of the Eternal Void unscathed, but they are rare and few. It is a place that only the strongest and bravest souls can even attempt to survive, let alone come back from.

I started getting curious on the few survivers. And who are does few. 

Aeon ponders for a moment, his eyes fixed on me with a thoughtful expression. "Those who were strong enough to return from the Eternal Void unscathed are usually those who possessed great courage, strength of mind, and a deep understanding of their own identity and existence. They were able to withstand the onslaught of the Void and keep their own individuality and sense of self intact."

Aeon's eyes meet mine with a warning look. "But even they were changed and forever marked by their experience. There is no coming back from the Eternal Void without being changed in some way. You must be prepared for this, my friend. No matter how strong and how powerful you are, the Eternal Void will change you. It will consume and shape you, and you will never be the same again.

I take in his words, the weight of their meaning settling heavily on me. I know that I have to brave the Eternal Void, if I am to gain the power I need. But the danger and risk of the journey are clear.

I look at Aeon, my eyes filled with determination. "I am prepared for the risk. I will not let fear or hesitation hold me back. I will go into the Eternal Void and face whatever I find there.

Aeon nods, his expression stoic and grave. "Very well. I will honor your determination and courage, and assist you in your journey into the Eternal Void. But remember, my friend, the choices you make there will forever shape your path and destiny.

Aeon waves his hand, and a swirling maelstrom of dark energy appears in front of us, forming a portal leading into the depths of the Eternal Void.

Aeon looks at me, his eyes fixed on mine with a mixture of respect and concern.

"This is the portal to the Eternal Void. Are you absolutely sure you want to go in?

I take a deep breath, my heart racing with anticipation and fear. I know that I am about to embark on a journey that will change me forever, but I am undaunted. I step forward, my eyes fixed on the swirling maw of the portal.
