Chapter 920 Tier VI Evolution: Echoes of Insepula Oasa

?”Take all the time you need, the entire place is guarded by a grand array left by an ancestor of my family, nothing will disturb you in here, and if the evolution were to go wrong, which I highly doubt, the array will do its best to help you go through it unharmed.”

“We shall be outside, the evolution will probably take hours, perhaps even an entire day, the entire place is locked down, and only I, as well as the person inside, which will be you, can open it.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Reign said as he bowed his head slightly, to which the king responded with a smile.

“I will eagerly await to see you after your evolution, I hope you will stay for a celebration, because of everything that happened, we were unable to have one before, and it didn’t seem right to hold one with you unconscious anyway.”

“At least now, we can have one, and it would be my pleasure if you would all stay with us for that one night before leaving for your worlds, I do understand that you have your own people to go back to, so I will not press the issue, of course.”

“It is fine, I have talked with a friend back home, everything is fine there, it will be my pleasure to stay a bit longer.” Reign said before the door closed and he was now alone in the grand underground hall that served as a place for the powerful of the kingdom to evolve.

He truly did talk to Greenie to confirm that everything back in Doncaster was fine, Mia had done so previously as well, but Reign just wouldn’t be at ease if he didn’t personally confirm it as well.

With him being alone now, he sat down in the middle of the grand hall that stretched out for hundreds of meters in all directions around him before taking a deep breath and starting his evolution.

The instant he had done so, he was back in his Nephilim form.

Lightning immediately exploded from within him, coating the entire floor of the hall while his wings unfurled and light and darkness spread out from them.

His eyes turned purple, and even with his eyes closed, the glow coming from them was still present. The souls he had captured all went outside of his body as well and floated around him before standing still, akin to soldiers who were protecting him, ready to charge and rip apart anyone that would dare come close to him.

The mark activated as well, forming a bolt of lightning above his head that unleashed an immense aura around him, one that even the grand array was unable to completely seal inside the hall, causing the king to sense it as well.

‘Truly incredible, to think that a Tier VI evolution could bring forth such aura.’ The king told himself before smiling and shaking his head. He went up the stairs with Mia and the others, leaving Reign alone to complete his evolution.

Just as always, Reign was slowly dozing off, his consciousness going someplace else.

He was a bit excited, he had so much he wanted to ask Raziel, so many questions, and yet, so little time.

He tried thinking of what questions were the most important, what he wanted to know about the most, but he truly had no idea what to ask first.

“You’re quite tense, ease up, have some tea.”

Reign opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar place.

It was one he had never seen before, but Raziel was present.

There was no cabin in the magical woods, there were no ruined buildings like the previous time, none of that was present.

“Where are we?”

“Insepula Oasa, that was how this place was once called, it no longer exists, of course,” Raziel said as Reign stared at the sight in front of them.

“It’s … I don’t even know how to call it.” Reign said with his eyes wide open and his full focus on the sight.

“I know, calling it beautiful would be an insult, after all, this was the one place where no conflict was allowed in the universe once upon a time, nobody wished to disrupt it, nobody wished to do anything to change this place.”

“It was a rare place of peace in the universe back in the day when wars were constant and millions of organizations were vying for supremacy.”

“And yet, even this place did not last forever.”

“What happened to it?” Reign asked as Raziel shook his head.

“Something that shook the entire universe down to its core, a barbaric and cold-hearted start of a war.”

“A person came and decimated everything, the people that took solace here did so in order to escape him, in order to force him to leave them alone, but he was not willing to do so, their crimes were too heavy, his anger too powerful, and the injustice he had suffered too big to let go.”

Reign continued staring in shock as he couldn’t imagine a person would be willing to destroy what was in front of them.

Clusters of vibrant nebulas painted the void with hues of magenta, indigo, and emerald, their ethereal glow casting a mesmerizing dance across the cosmic expanse. Gigantic planets, each a swirling masterpiece of colors and patterns, orbited gracefully, their gravitational forces weaving intricate celestial ballets.

Stars, like brilliant diamonds, dotted the cosmic canvas, illuminating the darkness with their radiant brilliance. Some were distant specks, while others burned fiercely, casting radiant beams of light that reached across the cosmic abyss. The sheer magnitude of the cosmic ballet was beyond comprehension as if the universe itself had unfolded its grandeur for Reign to witness.

Streams of stardust shimmered, creating celestial rivers that flowed between galaxies. Ethereal lights, akin to fireflies on a summer night, flickered in the interstellar winds, creating a mesmerizing display that defied earthly description. The cosmic winds whispered secrets of distant galaxies, carrying tales of ancient civilizations and untold wonders.

As Reign took in the breathtaking sight, he felt a profound sense of insignificance amidst the cosmic majesty. Planets with rings of unimaginable beauty, colossal gas giants, and distant moons formed a celestial orchestra that played a symphony of the cosmos. The radiant glow of distant galaxies painted the cosmic backdrop with hues that transcended the limits of human perception.

Raziel observed Reign’s awe with a knowing smile, “Insepula Oasa was once a haven amidst this celestial splendor. It stood as a testament to the beauty that could exist when beings set aside their differences. But, as you can see, even the most wondrous places can be touched by the shadows of conflict.”

The stars seemed to mourn the loss of Insepula Oasa, flickering in a melancholic rhythm. Reign couldn’t help but wonder about the person Raziel spoke of, the one who brought destruction to such a magnificent sanctuary.

He suddenly saw the change, he saw planets collapse, and he felt the anger of a being that stood in the middle of the entire place.

The entire scene shook, the rivers of stardust were blown away, people cried out in shock and fear, the light coming from the stars was devoured, the darkness of the universe was pushed back, and everything went to hell.

The dreamscape that once was Insepula Oasa was now a hellscape, and in it, a single being stood, his anger slowly diminishing, but not fully gone.

Reign could see him, and his eyes were wide in shock as he stared at Raziel who had a sad smile on his face. This chapter’s initial release occurred on the N0v3l-B1n site.

“I was young at that time, much younger than now, but still many times older than you are, or any civilization on Earth was.”

“They attacked us, leveled down several cities back on Eldora, which you now call Earth.”

“They killed some people dear to me, and they thought they could get away with it, that the ones backing them would force me to stay my hand and do nothing.”

“They were wrong, very wrong,” Raziel said as he stared at the sight in front of him.

“I killed them, held their souls captive for many millennia, and had them watch as I destroyed everything they cared about, how I destroyed those that backed them in their endeavors.”

“Looking back, this was the time when the universe found out about me and what I was capable of, this was when they realized just what I could do when pushed too far, and when I was given the title of ‘Destroyer’.”

“It is my past, one I do not like thinking back on, but an important part of my very being.”

“Why show me this?” Reign asked as Raziel smiled at him.

“Because, ultimately, you will be given a choice in the future, everybody is.”

“You might become the very being you see in front of you right now, a person full of hate and anger who is willing to do anything for those he cares about, after all, didn’t you almost become that merely a couple of days ago?”
