Whoos.h.!.+ With his wings spreading over the remains of the time palace Elijah flew through all the beasts fighting each other while yelling "She is mine!". To make sure he won"t waste his chance he pressed the dagger on his chest before the gla.s.sy weapon melted in his body. "Chloe, This time I will merge the full power of my armament into you. The enemy in front of us is too powerful, luckily he was no different than a puppet at the moment. I will try to save him, but if it not works then we must run away. When I give the signal, you act." Elijah instructed Chloe while summoning his sky beast and primal elemental will armament. Together his star wings, sky beast and elemental will armament merged into his Trinity Watch floating in front of him. However the Prime King would not let him do what he wanted so easily.
Bang! A platinum palm was shot towards Elijah who manifested his trinity energy into a huge s.h.i.+eld that broke at the same instant before he was throw into a wall by the residual energy of the platinum palm.
"Ouch." Since forming his trinity body even G.o.ds and immortals could not injure him so easily, this was because his trinity force and body were on a completely different level where inferior powers could not damaged it. Yet it was quickly damaged to the point of cracks appearing at the surface of his skin.
Whoos.h.!.+ The prime king"s body vanished from his sight before he instant felt strength pressing his body as a silhouette appeared behind him and grabbed Elijah by the neck. Cracks appeared on the surface of his neck and it spread all over his face before he could raise his lips in a smile.
"I got you." An arm made of pure and invisible energy grew on his back holding the dagger as it thrusted into Yakhan"s body.At the same time a hammer with a beating heart and veins flew below his feet forming countless types of flames gathered into chains that tied his hand and feed to make sure he could not dodge the dagger.
Crack! When the gla.s.s dagger was about to pierce his skin, a platinum light invaded the weapon before it shatters in front of Elijah and Chloe. At this moment Elijah was lost, without knowing what to do his body was throw into a pillar of rock as his body feel on the ground. It was when Elijah felt the prime king"s eyes change as it stared at him with contempt.
With a single gaze, Elijah felt a boundless presence lock him down. He felt as if his entire body was tied by chains limiting his movements. Even the trinity force inside him slowed down when faced with this presence. Raising his lips, the towering crowned-figure of the prime king snorted before speaking with two different voices at the same time.
"Your Path is powerful indeed, yet its user is just a mortal!"
[YOUR PATH IS POWERFUL INDEED, YET ITS USER IS JUST A MORTAL!]
When the voice feel its presence grew by another notch, and Elijah"s presence dimmed down. Surely It was that weird looking cosmic heart talking through him. Only at this moment Elijah realized how it was a wishful thinking of his, believe he could face such a scary being with so little power.
"If given enough time, a huge threat you may have been..."
[IF GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, A HUGE THREAT YOU MAY HAVE BEEN...]
By the end of his second phrase, the jewells on top of the crown released a sparkling platinum light. Yakhan"s eyes turned blood red as tears flowed down his face while he made an expression of pain, then to the scare of Elijah and Edward fighting the huge eye the crown left the prime king"s head. Yakhan could be seen falling on the ground as the crown grew wings and flew with the speed of light towards Elijah.
He really prepared himself for countless situations, but this was something he could not expect. How could this creature leave Yakhan so easily before rus.h.i.+ng towards him. In this moment of extreme danger his trinity force started circulating once again flowing all over his body which released a faint golden light. Elijah stored his hammer back and dissolved in the air before appearing on the city gates of Eroth before fleeing the fatest he could.
Flying toward the divine territory, Elijah expected the a.s.sistance of other G.o.ds in suppressing this crown.
"Meard! DEVIL EYE OF HEAVEN!" A huge eye appeared in the sky, seeing everything from above Elijah stared at far behind only to see the blur of a weird-shaped crown flying in the sky leaving a trail of platinum light.
"Fire!" Rumble! A huge pillar of light was shot toward the crown, But Elijah just heard a snort before a platinum layer of light surrounded the crown protecting from the ray. Even from far away, he could see this platinum energy was on the same level of his own trinity force, however the former was even more abundant than the later and could easily suppress the trinity force he thought to be invincible.
The boundless presence appeared once again, pulling Elijah back to the direction of the crown and he tried to suppress it, but its power was even greater than before. Together with all the energy he spent flying, his energy his trinity force stored within were quickly depleted. Even the trinity pill dimmed down faster than he wanted to.
Then, Elijah stared at the crown coming closer and closer with despair in his heart. This is the first time he really felt powerless, images of Yawen and their child appeared on his mind. It looks like his wife was right as ever.
"If i knew this would happen, I would have spent more time with them." Even while knowing he would not die, just the thought of being controlled by this disgusting being made him angry. Even if he had the supreme origins, what would matter if he didn"t have the energy to use them. Right now, he had no way to protect himself.
"Chloe, I"m sorry to do this, but there is no other way. If I die here at least i want you to know there will be allways a place for you in my heart." Using the remaining trinity force inside him, Elijah prepared to destroy all his cultivation together with the supreme origins. "Even If I am to be stuck as a mortal, this power must never fall in his hands."
Cracks appeared all over the trinity body as the great hall and gate inside him slowly disintegrated. Chloe cried while sensing the ninety-nine runes inside him releasing a faint light before dispersing. When all his cultivation and origins were gone with only one more left, a gentle voice ressounded in his mind.
"There is no need to sacrifice yourself, let me do it for you." At this moment Elijah was pushed away by a gentle force and he could only watch as the silver-haired man was taken by the crown. Landing on top of his head, tears of blood fell from Edward"s eyes that stared at Elijah with concern. All his facades had fell and Elijah could see the former image of Damian within him.
[I won"t hold on much longer. My will is being devoured by the cosmic heart, there is no way out to me, I have done too many bad things, but not you. Your wife"s true body is on the city of eternia in the celestial realm, Void Territory. She on the verge to breakthrough into the next step and is on closed training so you must be careful when going there to see her, her clan may do something to you. As for your grandma...]
When Elijah heard this he quickly understood as he felt the pain in his voice.
[Being a G.o.ddess from the Aesir clan, she was fated to die in the ragnarok since the beginning. I may have been a bit forceful on breaking her connection with her fate, but it was the only way. For G.o.ds destined to die by prophecies, only wiping out every trace of divinity can save them from their fate. This was the same for your young girlfriend from the Aesir clan as well. Even for the one in your artifact, she will be fated to die unless every trace of her previous divinity is transferred to another being or completely destroyed... Arg! There no more time, I"m transmitting you to the void territory.]
When he said this, Elijah could not handle the pain of destroying his cultivation and collapsed on the ground when a silver gate opened, revealing the image of a small town on the feet of a mountain. Then Elijah was sucked into the gate leaving only Edward behind.
Inside him there was only a single supreme origin left. s.h.i.+ning with four-colored light as four winged figures flew around it. A broken pocket watch was also seen wandering in the now empty s.p.a.ce inside him.
