Chapter 237: Dark Wisp
The darkness that swallowed Athan into nothingness really turned him into literally nothing.
His past, present, and future ceased to exist at that point. Nobody rembers him anymore, and...he found about this at the last mont of his life. He found out this when his half-destroyed soul was being swallowed by the darkness that...Nothing, not even other people's mory of him, would remain.
When that dispair was replaced by another expression at the last mont, this was his thought.
'...Dying horribly in the first life and even more horribly in the second life?...My whole existence, my entire two lives, my happy monts with Tiana, Avelia, and others, the pain I suffered to get strong, the journey and adventure...All these...just lost their aning? '
His soul was only half left due to purple power destroying it, and even that was engulfed in this darkness. At that mont, He accepted it.
That's why...the despair that was upon his face at the last mont disappeared. Athan...scattered his own soul. He shattered his soul as it turns into pieces at the last mont. This was an utterly unbelievable thing that one would do. Why would soone shatter their own soul at this mont?
Athan did it because he understood sothing from his situation. He was gambling because...He wants to live, and He wants to exist. He wants to...rge into nothingness so that he can exist. At this mont, Athan understood the essence of nothingness.
' I WILL EXIST, EVEN IN THIS NOTHINGNESS, I WILL EXIST! '
After the darkness devoured Athan's existence, Sothing happened in this place where there was absolutely nothing.
A dark wisp that had a shining white border lit up in this terrifying expanse of darkness.
This dark wisp continued to exist in this place where there was nothing present, not even ti.
No one knows how long the ti passed since this place didn't have that. This place had its own, altogether different rules. The ti of worlds didn't apply here.
The dark wisp was the size of a peanut, but...it was slowly getting bigger. But after becoming the size of a tennis ball, the dark wisp stopped growing.
After who knows how long, in this darkness where there was absolutely nothing, Shockingly...Two being appeared.
A man and...a beast. This man wore a pure white robe, Just like his long white hair. His face was plain but without any blemish. On the other hand, The beast looked like a pure white tiger with a single horn on its forehead, and It had exquisite and dreamy fur patterns.
A strange phenonon occurred when this man appeared. A sowhat big amount of darkness around him disappeared and was replaced by pure white cushioning clouds like cotton.
This man was still far away from the dark wisp, but he could clearly sense it when he appeared here.
" Strange. " The man muttered as he started walking towards the dark wisp.
The Tiger's eyes were closed from the start, and it was in a sleeping position, but it still floated behind the man.
The man seed like he didn't like to float, so he walked on the white cotton-like clouds that were transford from the darkness around him whenever he moved.
" Shiren, Don't bother with useless things, and let's finish our job. " A lazy voice rang out from the white-horned Tiger.
The man ford a smile that appeared very gentle inherently. It seed like his usual smile is always like this.
" Lazy fellow, You keep sleeping. I'll finish our job. I'll wake you up when we return. "
The Tiger opened its eyes lazily, " Thanks. I'll take that offer. "
After that, The Tiger disappeared, and only the man was left.
" Now let's see what just happened here. " muttering this, The man approached the dark wisp.
Due to his natural presence or power that was turning the darkness into white clouds, The darkness around the wisp also disappeared when the man approached it.
But the wisp was fine. It was still the sa size and looked like a dark wisp with a white border around it.
Shiren stretched his right hand forward when he neared the wisp as the wisp was pulled towards the man before it rested on the man's right hand.
" looks like a fragnt of soone's soul managed to comprehend the essence of $#%@* at the last mont. "
Shiren's pure white eyes with light golden iris flashed for a mont.
His entire presence changed as even more darkness that was far from him turned into white clouds.
However, this lasted only for a second before he returned to normal. After this, He knew everything about Athan, His first life, How he got the second life, what he experienced, and how he appeared here, and what...he managed to do at the last mont of his life.
" An unfortunate soul, I see. However, this one managed to exist in this place as a fragnt of his soul, but...sigh, If he stays like this, he won't get himself together anyti soon even though he managed to grasp a little of #$%@&. "
He was surprised about this occurrence and thought of sothing as a smile ford on his face.
" Whether due to a coincidence or divine intervention that we t here. I'll give you a push. Since all it requires is a thought from . though, your journey from now on will certainly not be a pleasant one. "
The man paused here as he rembered Athan's life and spoke with a mischievous smile.
" Wait...Should I really do this? From what I observed in his life, he had suffered a lot. "
The dark wisp beca unstable as if it heard things spoken by the man in the white.
" Oh! What a strong instinct to survive and to exist for a re fragnt of the soul...interesting. "
The man waved his left hand and hovered it over the dark wisp as fragnts of Athan's soul which he shattered previously, started to appear from the white cotton clouds.
Unlike the dark wisp, these fragnts were all pitch black without a white border around them.
" Make no mistake, The main reason to give you this push is not sympathy. But...only because you fascinatingly managed to grasp the essence of $#@% on your own. As a Divine of Sarangna, I felt that I should give you a chance to bloom. "
The dark wisp got bigger and bigger after the other fragnts rged into it and finally started to take a humanoid shape.
" Though whether you successfully bloom or not depends on you. "
A pitch-black humanoid soul body with a white border around it finally ford. Athan's soul...was revived.
' I am not dead? But I'm sure I rged into the darkness after I shattered my soul. '
Athan's soul opened his eyes and saw a man with a smile on his face.
" Who are you? " Athan asked with an indifferent expression.
At this mont, The Tiger suddenly appeared and looked at Shiren speechlessly before speaking, " Are you kidding ? How many lives are you going to save and revive after coming down every ti? Can't you have so damn pride in your forr title? Mr. Divine Destroyer? "
" Sheesh, This one is a bit special. "? Shiren smiled.
" He is indeed special to be able to grasp that a little, but whether he managed to master and fully comprehend it is a different story. "
" Hahaha, To be able to grasp that while being this weak of existence and grasping it at the last mont of his life is very fascinating. Even if I didn't appear here, he would gather himself together after so ti. Here, I am just giving him a push. That's all.? "
Athan couldn't hear what they were saying, but he frowned and asked, " Why did you save ? "
Shiren laughed out loud, and this ti, Athan could hear this laugh.
" Wasn't expecting that you would question instead of thanking . "
Athan shook his head with a grin, " Thanks, but...If you saved for so kind of purpose, then no thanks. You can kill again. "
Shiren and the horned tiger were surprised at what Athan said.
" Now, this is strange. Your deepest instinct clearly shows that you want to survive and exists very strongly. " Shiren smiled as if he found sothing interesting.
Athan nodded, " Indeed I want to, But...not if you want to do sothing for saving . Make no mistake about this, though; This is not pride or anything like that but...my other deepest instinct. Even if you didn't appear, I would eventually form my complete soul after an indefinite amount of ti. "
" A cheeky one, aren't you? Hahaha...You are interesting. A considerable change compared to your previous self. "
" Anyway, Since I, Shiren of The Divine of Sanragna, have decided to do sothing, then you can't stop it. Your situation and how you managed to grasp that fascinatingly at the last mont of your life were interesting, so...Here you go. "
The man waved his right hand towards Athan, and Athan disappeared.
But the place Athan appeared was another expanse of darkness...to which he was familiar with. After all, His downfall started after he was stuck here.
What will happen to Athan now? He neither has a solid body or special space. His entire existence is kind of different from others. He will have to figure out everything himself and find ways so that he can continue to survive.
