"Void"
It was not related to the entity that Damien chased, but his own family.
A massive white board lined with gold descended from the heavens to et him. It was backed by a holy light that almost ford a mirage of angel wings and made one feel the weight of the entire universe.
Right, the Firmant Board could not be reached by anyone who could not bear this pressure.
When Damien saw it, he imdiately knew what to do. He raised his hand, and the world's energy naturally ford a brush in his grasp.
He raised it to that board, to the position underneath the one occupied by his surna.
His father was only ever able to leave four letters on this board while enduring its pressure. He was not able to completely immortalize himself in the cosmic core of the True Void Universe.
Damien was different.
The pressure he felt was massive, but it was not overwhelming.
This board represented the entirety of the cosmos, but that was rely Existence, wasn't it?
He had surpassed the bounds of Existence alone, so he showed no fear in its presence.
He raised that brush with a delicate hand, pressing it against the surface of the board. It shook, receiving his touch. An electrical current was shared with him through it, another form of pressure that tested his worth.
Damien accepted it without a fight. He was at that level now where every form of energy was beneath him.
With slow strokes, he etched himself into the world.
The na "Damien Void" was placed onto that board one letter at a ti, becoming an eternal part of its existence.
Damien felt a massive aura covering him. It was not from the board this ti, but a product of his own body's interaction with this cosmos.
He and it were eternally bound from this mont forth. It would beco his greatest strength, and he its greatest Legend. The board understood quickly that it was late. Damien's unexpected growth made this interaction shorter and easier than it was ant to be.
But, even that was fate.
Even that was contributing to the great Legend of this cosmos.
Dante received his physique around this ti. The mystical ability to remain immortal through reincarnation was truly only possible to attain through equally mystical ans.
Damien didn't receive anything like that.
Instead, in that mont when the Firmant Board returned to its position beyond perception, he felt a sense of wholeness in his body.
He was complete. It was that kind of feeling.
He rembered this sensation well. The last ti he felt it was back in the Human Domain. Still, both that mont and this one were defining for him.
'This is a mark of completion. My foundation has been completely built.'
With the two Crowns and the Firmant Board's blessing, Damien could finally take up that task.
He could rge Existence and Nonexistence, reaching that final point. ***
Easy, right?
With his support system so developed, it would be easy for Damien to reach the next level, right?
That was a very, very wrong assumption.
Plans had been made among the highest authorities of the world. The mont to take the fight to the Dark God had been decided.
Damien had so ti before then. He was planning to use that ti to completely surpass the Dark God so that everything could be solved swiftly, but that was nothing more than a pipe dream.
How could it be so easy to do sothing impossible?
The Worldwalker's thod simply couldn't be replicated.
His body naturally rged the two. Like Damien, he seed to be soone with an intrinsic connection to the Void.
However, the Worldwalker's connection was sothing more primal. It ate his personality and ate his ambitions, turning his everything Void.
Damien had a close connection to the Void, but the Void itself regulated that connection so that he would always maintain his individuality.
Did it learn from the Worldwalker's story? Regardless of the reason, it was true that it wouldn't give him its loyalty so easily.
Damien sighed,
'I want to talk to soone about it, but who can help ?'
This was a path that nobody else had walked, right?
He was now at a point where, in this world, there was no one other than him.
'This is a path I must walk without anyone by my side. They help purely by being present. That is enough.'
How could he burden anyone else with his thoughts?
To contemplate Existence and Nonexistence, these forces with such grandiosity that just listening to his explanations would destroy the minds of most, was to accept that nobody and nothing could ever be at the sa level.
It was inevitable.
'No, even the fact that the Dark God exists is lucky for .'
It was a selfish thought, but that didn't affect its veracity. If not for the Dark God, then what would Damien possibly be doing with this amount of power?
He never took the ti to truly think about the scale of what he could do, but if he wanted to, then with just a thought…
'...I could turn this entire cosmos into ash.'
Nobody knew what it ant to be a true Supre. And nobody could be allowed to know.
'My first step is already decided.'
The thoughts he had when he faced the records. He could start by turning them into reality.
A taphysical construct without true form, a coagulation of energy that manifested itself as a familiar holographic window…
Damien envisioned it perfectly and executed it. His energy moved, and for the first ti, the owl and the mist t eyes.
Their presences entwined. They did not truly beco one, but they mirrored the force of the Void rely by standing next to each other.
The two of them beca the so-called "system" that would manage Damien's power from now on.
Those two entities were practically apostles of their concepts. Though Damien could control both concepts to a great extent, they would be able to better manifest his will.
Besides, when the two Crowns beca one atop his head, the mist and the owl beca a part of his power.
The system window that Damien created was not blue like the color of pure mana. It was a murky gray color, a sign that the two concepts within were not wholly rged.
Nevertheless, the window existed for but a mont before disappearing.
Its physical manifestation was only necessary for communication between him and the concepts. It was a way to give them more physical presence so they could expand their dominion. What really mattered was the "counterside" that Damien created. In a way, Existence and Nonexistence could be considered his own shadow.
'A system that is ant to evolve until I reach the Void…the Void Evolution System? No, that's stupid. It's just a sum of its parts. It's not even a real thing.'
With strange and completely unnecessary thoughts filling his mind, Damien put away his subtle worries and troubles. Conquering the Void…
Perhaps it didn't co easily, but he was confident in achieving it eventually.
There was no need for him to rush.
