'Keng…?' Lee Seng's eyes fluttered open. A warm tear landed on Lee Seng's cheek, rolling off to the side. Keng grabbed Lee Seng's hand and lifted it up to his cheek. The light grew brighter, filling Lee Seng with warmth. He weakly tried to talk, only letting out airy sputters.
"Hey, don't waste your energy!" Keng panicked. "Just…! Just…!" Lee Seng watched as Keng squeezed his eyes shut and clutched Lee Seng harder. He could feel his brother's tears fall onto him.
'We're both going to die.' Lee Seng thought. He let out a breath through his nose and felt a calmness wash over him. mories flashed in his head. mories of his family - Mom, Dad and him. He couldn't help but miss it. Going to the beach was his favorite mory. He rembered how much Dad would play with him, be there with Mom and him… It was all disappearing.
"I lied… to myself." Lee Seng spoke in a whisper tone. Keng's ears twitched as he forced himself to look at Lee Seng. Lee Seng was smiling at him. He squeezed his entangled hand with Keng's. "I lied about many things… How I felt about everyone. How I felt about my Dad working so much. I… I acted out because I thought he would pay attention to , but he never did.
"I always wondered if Mom's death was the reason, but I guess things are much more ssed up than I thought…" Lee Seng coughed.
"H-hey, don't waste your breath! W-we could—" Keng felt his chest start to squeeze. He gasped as his strength faded. Lee Seng fell onto the floor, squashing Keng's arm as Keng fell next to him. Gold and silver specks of light started to lift into the air from the twins' bodies. Keng tried to say sothing, but nothing ca out. His eyes shook. He didn't want to die here. It was unfair! Fate had given them the short end of the stick and the twin sun gods tried to intervene.
"Don't be sad…" Lee Seng whispered. He clutched Keng's hand and smiled. "You taught so much… You reminded how to feel, again… You reminded how to love soone… You reminded that the world's not lonely… Olivia… Liz… Evan… Ritsuka… Even Manny, ca into my life because of you… If you didn't push out of the darkness - if you didn't show the light, I would've surely died sooner… W-what I'm trying to say is… Thank you, Keng, for giving a second chance to live my life…"
'No…' Keng thought. He tried to talk back, but nothing would co out. Keng watched his twin as he genuinely looked happy. 'This is unfair! Lee Seng doesn't deserve this! He doesn't deserve any of this!'
An explosion of gold and silver light filled the Soul Ho. All of the furniture flew in different directions. Items falling onto the floor and breaking as Keng and Lee Seng lifted into the air.
"No!" Keng's scream echoed through the house. Keng shook his head and grabbed Lee Seng's hands. They flipped to hover vertically in the air. "I won't allow it!" Lee Seng's internal system started to freak out.
[BZZ!]
[Unknown Anomaly detected!]
[BZZ!]
[081520xx41jnal239!]
"I won't allow this!" Keng shouted. He pulled Lee Seng inwards and the two crashed into each other. Everything happened quickly. Keng lted into Lee Seng, letting the silver light swirl with the golden light. Large intricate runes began to write themselves all over the Soul Ho space. Silver light flew into Lee Seng's body, rapidly healing his wounds. The blood and Dark Matter ichor vanished, ripping all of Lee Seng's clothes.
[The Twins beco One.]
[Housing the Soul to house Two.]
[One will Stay. One will Go.]
'No!' Lee Seng thought. He shook his head. 'Deny! Deny!' The System didn't listen to him.
[Energies combining.]
"No! Stop it! I don't want this!" Lee Seng shouted.
[We'll temporarily be apart…]
The System AI voice changed. It was Keng. Lee Seng's eyes filled with tears as he shook his head.
[Don't be sad, Lee. I'll rest for so ti and before you know it, I'll be back… Can you tell the others to not miss much? Heh, they'll be fine. They'll feel with you every ti. They'll understand. I'm sure…]
"No…!" Lee Seng sobbed. Lee Seng's arms wrapped around him. "Please don't go! I need you!"
[I'm just… resting for a bit… for the both of us…]
[Nine Tails Dissolving for Revival Spell.]
Lee Seng's naked body lifted into the air, turning as the silver and golden light flew straight into him. He could feel each of his energy tails vanishing. The energies wrapped around him like a hug.I think you should take a look at
[Don't worry about . Beat so ass and save your Dad's soul from his own madness, 'kay?]
"Keng!" Lee Seng cried. "Why would you do this? T-there must be so other way!" For a mont, Lee Seng thought Keng was in front of him. He could see Keng shake his head. He reached out for him, breaking the billions of light threads holding him together.
[Fox Spirit Egg reford! Binding with the Soul.]
[Cooldown: ????]
Lee Seng felt his soul bundling him and pulling him away. He flew out of the Soul Ho and watched the doors close. He felt himself be pulled away as the monochro colors swirled and hid the ho. Lee Seng reached for it, feeling himself continue on his path. He flew back to the oasis and plunged into the waters.
'Keng…!' Lee Seng thought. Golden tears mixed with the water, turning the water golden as Lee SEng felt his senses splitting in every direction.
Lee Seng's dead body crashed onto the floor as Mother waited for her Son to free her from her bindings. The enlarged body parts began to tear apart as Son carved Mother a new body from her husk.
"With this…" Mother excitedly smiled. "I'll be a step closer to being free! Bring that dead body my Son ca out of!" She pointed at Lee Seng's dead body. Eyes looked over to the glob and motioned. The glob slid over and wrapped itself around Lee Seng's body and extended itself upwards towards Mother's mouth.
Mother widened her mouth and the glob tossed Lee Seng in. Mother's started to go down on Lee Seng when his body twitched, moving out of the way. Mother began to swallow, but the dead Biohuman refused to go down.
Mother's eyes narrowed for a second before the entire room noticed sothing was wrong. Before Mother could say anything, a hot blade carved through her mouth, releasing Lee Seng from it. He huffed as the diminished Sun blade burned away in his hand. Cosmic energies held Lee Seng from falling.
The torn Biohuman wasn't torn anymore. Lee Seng was healed and even donned clothing of gold and silver. The Fox Spirit clothing was altered on Lee Seng. A mix of traditional Fox Spirit and modern Earth. He wore the traditional garb as a shirt with silver-gold skin tight armor showing on his arms, legs and feet. Golden hair with silver highlights with red and blue eyes with stars in them.
[You will not be able to start Cultivation II until the egg hatches.]
[You will not be able to gather Souls.]
[All Fox Spirit abilities have been reduced and re-purposed for your Restart due to the Revival Spell.]
[All skills and added bonuses have been removed. They will return to you once the egg hatches and Cultivation II starts. Until then, you have the following available: Rune Magi and Sun Magic.]
[You have chosen Diminished Sun as your weapon of choice.]
[With this, the protection spell has ended.]
The light around Lee Seng faded, dropping him straight to the ground without help. Lee Seng didn't yelp or scream. The entire room watched as Lee Seng fell into the sky. Mother scread and the entire room of Deimons and Failed Ones went into action.
"Wind." Lee Seng spoke. A rune ford and broke, wrapping the wind around him. He zood through the air, holding the burning Diminished Sun in his hand. It was hot but it didn't seem to agitate his skin enough to burn him. He swung the sword in the air, watching as a bright light flew out and carved through the Failed Ones.
"Get him!" Mother shouted. Failed One 004's eyes pulsed, but nothing happened to Lee Seng.
"It didn't work!" Failed One 004 whispered. He turned to the glob. "010." The glob shot up into the air at Lee Seng and lted in seconds. 004's eyes widened. "H-he…!" A heat exploded outwards, spreading throughout the entire room. Weak Deimons and Failed Experints lted instantly while the tougher ones struggled to stand.
"I'm… out of here…" Queen whispered. "Michael…! We leave!"
"Y-yes… Queen." Michael nodded.
"Don't leave you imbeciles! Protect !" Mother shouted. One by one, Deimons began to disappear, leaving their 'Master' alone. Mother scread as she tried to move her large hand.
"Mother, don't move or you'll ruin the carving!" Son shouted at her.
"I thought that runt would've died after you ca out! You didn't do a good job at stealing any of his skills!" Mother shouted. Son shot out of his Mother and flew straight for Lee Seng.
"Gate XI: Open!" Son shot a cosmic beam at Lee Seng. Lee Seng lifted Diminished Sun, letting the beam collide with his sword and turning the entire underground room into blinding lit space.
