As the two Seras hands touched, a searing pain scorched both souls. They wanted to scream at the top of their lungs, but they had lost control over their bodies.
Their hands stayed in contact and slowly lted into each other. Seconds, or perhaps an eternity passed, it was impossible to tell, but at so point, the hands fully lted together.
The pain only worsened thereafter. Where their hands once were, now an inevitable, strong pulling force, grabbed hold of both souls. In a rather crude way, their bodies slowly beca formless.
The force continued pulling. Their arms lted together, then their other hands, and eventually their legs and lower bodies.
When their chests started turning formless, the pain beca a thousand tis worse. A shriek left both of their mouths containing the worst pain imaginable.
The pull hadn't slowed even a little, but after their chests beca formless, the pain lessened quite a bit. They hardly felt it when their heads finally connected.
After the reunification, only a formless bright light remained. In its depths, shapes seed to move, trying to gain so sort of form.
The two partial souls slowly continued to lt within the blob. Both Seras still held onto so kind of consciousness, so when the question appeared in their connected minds, neither hesitated.
'Do you wish to Evolve?' Asked the mysterious force. Both parties imdiately responded with a simple word: 'YES!'
The formless blob of pure white light suddenly exploded into an unparalleled wave of energy, spreading through the endless darkness.
Limbo seed to shake under the forming of Sera's new body. In fact, the wave was so strong it reached the end of the infinite space.
The stronger creatures in the Universe felt the wave, albeit they had no idea what it ant. Other than the Conceptual Gods, only one person knew what the wave entailed.
Inside a supermassive Blackhole, a lone figure slumbered. Once the wave reached Him, He yawned, turned to His other side, and returned to sleep.
Following this slight shift, the surrounding space acted strangely; reality itself beca chaotic, unruly... Or more like Mad…
Galaxies fell apart near the Blackhole, like their atomic structures decided to fall apart. Energies took on unseen forms, constantly expanding and constricting.
The supermassive Blackhole moved across space, gobbling up all the matter end energy, further increasing its mass.
The man in slumber seed unconscious, but soon after the wave reached Him, a small smile appeared on His flawless, heavenly face.
He murmured sothing in His sleep, and He chuckled at sothing, which caused another galaxy to fall apart.
Eventually, all His movents stopped, and he went back to His deep slumber.
Back in Limbo, Sera's new body was still forming. Death watched it from nearby, awaiting the result with as much excitent as He could muster.
This was His plan all along. He never wanted the two Seras to fight, and he was fairly certain they would resolve their issues peacefully in this tranquil space.
In Limbo, all of Harold's previous influence beca nullified, so Emotional Sera could think for herself. And since she was Sera's conscience, she made the right decision by accepting their reunification.
Rational Sera was never an issue. In their previous talks, Death made sure she had a clear idea of future events.
Even though she couldn't rember their etings, because of her broken soul, a small imprint still stayed deep in Rational Sera's consciousness.
Now, with their unification and imdiate Evolution, Death awaited the results of His labor. He expected sothing truly extraordinary.
Nobody had ever tried Evolving with their own soul fragnt, which ant whatever happened next was unfamiliar territory even to soone as old as Death.
Since he was alive before Ti and Space was born. He had seen a lot during His life. Finally, experiencing sothing new and extraordinary made all His troubles worthwhile.
Death, of course, hadn't helped Sera from boredom. He had His reasons, which He wanted to keep hidden for the ti being. Other than Death, only one other person knew, and He was certain She would keep His secret!
With excitent evident in His deanor, Death continued watching Sera's struggle.
The bright soul pulsated with inner brightness. Sothing moved behind the light, forms taking shape. The feeling around Sera beca holy, and sothing happened even Death didn't expect.
He was already curious to see what would beco of soone who Evolves with their own soul, but Sera's soul fragnts weren't on the sa Rank.
Through so malicious, unnatural way, Harold pushed Emotional Sera to Transcended Rank without having her Evolve. This both ant she could still Evolve through reunification, but technically, she was already a Transcended.
This appeared inconsequential at first, yet ultimately, it made a significant difference. Even Death didn't understand the reason, but the dual Evolution sohow thought Sera's emotional half was an angelic being.
The reunification didn't just made Sera complete once more, it also allowed her to Evolve using an angelic being. She didn't just beca a Transcended, but also abandoned her humanity, and changed race… She turned into an Angel…
Inside the formless light of Sera's soul, pointy objects took shape, which were awfully similar to feathers. They connected to each other, attaching themselves into the distinct shape of a pair of wings.
Soon, through the bright mbrane, the wings exploded, bringing light to Limbo.
The gigantic pair of wings glistened in tallic silver colors. The feathers looked more like weapons with their sharp edges, but as they beat in the emptiness, they seed extrely light.
The soul began taking lding into form, yet it still fell far from a humanoid shape.
Inside it, sothing else began to form. Bright golden flas blended together, weaving themselves into shapes. Unlike most fires, which burned hot and felt destructive, these had distinct purifying properties.
Through the soul's mbrane, the golden wings burst out as well, bringing holiness to the surrounding hollow space.
The two pairs of golden fla wings spread just as wide as the silver ones… But Sera hadn't finished yet.
Her soul beca distinctly humanoid with two wings connecting to her back, but her actual body still hadn't ford.
Behind the veil of overwhelming brightness, more shapes appeared, gradually materializing into existence.
Pristine white feathers connected to each other, forming a third pair of wings. They broke out of Sera's back with impossible power.
Through Limbo, a sense of intense dread engulfed everything, as the wings expanded wider than the rest.
Sothing moved below the feathers, and as Sera's body reford, eyes began opening upon its surface.
Each eye imbued a sense of despair over their surroundings. They scanned over the empty space, looking for threats… Or prey…
Sera's soul finally beca an exact rendition of her actual body, and slowly she turned corporeal.
Her skeletal structure ford, then muscled weaved the bones together. Veins, nerve endings, organs grew out of the muscle tissue. Finally, all her body got wrapped in a tight layer of tanned skin.
Death began approaching Sera, thinking her reunification was coming to an end, but then he beca surprised once more.
Around Sera's newly ford body, a deep green aura grew. Death recognized it imdiately as Life energy, His Sister's power.
The absurdity of the situation finally overwheld Him, and he began chuckling. He only planned on orchestrating a self-evolution, but He really should've expected Sera to provide much greater entertainnt.
The Life energy spun around Sera's body, pushing into every tissue, every cell, every molecule and atom. It even entered her soul, empowering her more than any other Transcended who has ever lived…
Except one, but Death didn't count Him, since what He did was impossible to repeat…
Slowly, the green aura around Sera's newly ford body cleared away. Even her wings imbued so of the Life energy, giving them a hint of green, along with their usual colors.
Sera's eyes remained closed for a bit longer, then eventually she reached consciousness.
Two piercing bright gold globes stared out from a divinely beautiful face. There was a bright green circle around the gold one, giving her already fierce eyes a more powerful outlook.
She looked angry for a mont, but it passed quickly, followed by a lot of confusion. Sera explored her unfamiliar environnt, as if she has never been here before.
Death looked at her state with excitent and curiosity. He let Sera gather her thoughts for a while longer, before He couldn't wait any longer.
When He appeared in front of her, she went on high alert, taking a defensive stance. But as her eyes turned towards His hooded figure, with the golden scythe in tow, recognition appeared in her eyes.
One mory triggered a cascade of rembrance. So happy, so terrible, and most of them full of suffering.
She fell to her knees and scread from the top of her lungs while holding onto her head. The mories ca back like a flood, destroying all her inhibitions.
All the tis she died. All the tis she killed herself for tactical advantage. All the tis she cried in fear, awaiting Harold's next torture.
Every mory hit her at once. It felt like every death happened to her a second ti.
The pain was intolerable, yet sohow Sera weathered through it. She couldn't figure out how long she spent kneeling in the empty darkness. The Limbo confused her sense of ti, or more like took it away entirely.
After a period of ti, Sera regained all her mories, stood up, and shot Death an annoyed look.
"We need to talk." She said with barely contained anger.
Death just chuckled at her brazenness and sat back on His leather armchair, which suddenly appeared with the usual cozy room.
To the side, the fireplace crackled. Unfazed by the room's sudden appearance, Sera calmly took her seat. She continued to glare at Death, as their conversation began…
