When Seth came to his senses, he felt like his mind was moving through a vacuum, he didn't know where he was and could only feel his mind moving.
His mind wasn't bombarded with thousands of thoughts and sent into confusion, he only had two things in mind, the explanation of the guard and the almost teary eyes of a woman.
"I need to get to Alexia," Seth thought, but he couldn't figure out a way to do so, even if Raiju himself descended, Seth doubted it would be able to give him the speed he desired.
Both vampi and Draco were caged and he wasn't keen on recklessly using their power even if he could, that only left the entity within him, since the day of his awakening, it had never talked to him, even as he died,
"Was it deadbeat asleep or did it not just want to help me"
Seth pushed away these thoughts from his mind the moment he found his connection with his soul space get established and without missing a beat, he immediately found himself standing on the red sea, but this time the sea was far from calm.
"Come out" Seth roared as he tried to look through the thick red sea and tried to catch a glimpse of the elusive entity,
"Ahh damn it, come out " Seth kept on screaming out in frustration and then the next second he found himself at what should be the bottom of the sea, and in front of him, was a pitch-dark cave.
"Did you forget what I said about…" Seth heard a voice saying in his head, but he wasn't interested in having a discussion.
"Well, I didn't see you anywhere when I was being sent to the underworld" Seth sharply cut it off.
"Look, I need to get to someone as fast as possible, and to do that I need your power, so please help me" Seth begged.
"Tch, until the day you die and succumb to the rules of the underworld, my power is your power, you're just so weak that you can't use it, I will help you today, but be prepared for the consequences," the entity told Seth, the events of minutes ago making it more receptive to Seth's request, and before he could reply, Seth found himself back in his body.
Just as Seth felt his body, he also felt a drop of a familiar and unfamiliar energy appear in his body, and with a single thought, he had himself cloaked in black lightning and zooming off, ignoring the insignificant attack that had been coming his way.
Thankfully Seth was moving in the air as he had no almost zero control over the power he was using, all he did was move in the direction he desired while channeling as much qi as he could, because had Seth been on land and passed through a city, there was a possibility of that city being wiped out no matter it's grade.
Seth wasn't aware of how much time had passed as he ran, to him, he had just gotten back from the dead, gotten the entity's power, and began running as soon as the entity's qi fill his body, and the next thing he knew, he was diving down on the city where he had left Alexia, with no thought for anything else, he descended on the building Alexia was staying at, the lightening around him seeming to listen to his thoughts as it went ahead of him, creating a path to Alexia and wrapping her in its embrace, and with a "boom," Seth landed on the ground.
Seth was not aware of this, but it had taken him just a second from the time he stepped into the air to the moment he reached Alexia, and even worse, the shockwaves from his landing had just wiped out Maamion city, a grade B city, and if anyone were to look from the air, all they would see was a deep crater, one even more wider than the previous city which had stood there.
Seth immediately held Alexia's body, the emotion called sadness finally creeping into his heart as he held her dead body, but not a single drop of tear fell from his eyes.
"Is there anything I can do to save her?" Seth thought to the entity.
"Like I always say you are too weak, there are dozens of ways we could save her, but you can't even attempt the weakest ones" the entity chuckled.
Oh wait, there is this easy one, if you offer up your soul for her as she did for you, there is actually quite the chance that you might bring her back to life, so shall I begin the process" the entity asked mockingly, already knowing Seth's answer.
Seth truly wanted to save Alexia, but when he heard the entity's method of seeing her, he stared at Alexia's face for a few seconds and then burst out laughing, this time with drops of tears falling from his eyes.
"Foolish woman, why did you sacrifice yourself for a man who wouldn't do the same for you, didn't I clearly tell you that I don't love you," Seth screamed out in anger.
"Perhaps it's best you're dead,, you would only live in pain if you stayed with me," Seth thought in confusion, Alexia belonged to him, and the thought of just abandoning her didn't sit well with him, the thought that some underworld god will get his hands on her irritated him.
"What if you placed her soul in me, the same way you did to Draco and vampi," Seth asked,
"Hmm Draco and Vampi," the entity said questioningly,
"The bloodline consciousness" Seth elaborated,
"Oh you mean those kids, well I can do that but that would be the same as condemning her to reside in an eternal prison called your soul" the entity replied, "surely you're not that cruel"
"Won't I be able to fully revive her when I get stronger?" Seth asked,
"Do you know how many thousands of years it would take for you to reach that level of power not to mention the cost of doing that, she would be a prisoner within you for these thousands of years, just forget about her, there are more women waiting for you in the world" the entity advised.
"Then I'll just make sure I get stronger much faster then, bring back her soul" were Seth's words
"Ha, arrogant as always, don't forget there are consequences" were the entity's last words as Seth felt its presence weaken.
Other than the striking bolts of black lightning around him, Seth felt nothing special happen, he was beginning to wonder if the entity was still going to help him when he saw Alexia's body begin disintegrating into particles, and these particles instead of dispersing flew into him.
"I expected a lot of flare given that we were bringing a soul out of the underworld" Seth quietly commented.
"Hmm, for such a low level underworld, it's already disgrace to your kind that you almost lost your life down there, there is nothing great about bringing a soul out of it"
"And what is my kind," Seth asked catching onto one of its words.
"When you can wreak havoc in a lower level underworld then I'll explain to you" the entity replied.
"I didn't expect you to be so helpful, it's almost like you're my fairy godmother, except that you let me die" Seth dryly questioned.
"There are a lot of things you don't know, and until you prove you're not a waste of my time, I have no interest in voluntarily helping you, like I said, my power is your power, but your incredibly low starting point makes you unable to use it which is why I gave you those other two bloodlines, the events surrounding your death have motivated me to help you this time, but I would advise you not to count on my help in the future because I won't bother with you," the entity told Seth.
"And what if those fiendcelestials you talked about attacked me?".
"Then I would help your pitiful self," the entity said, but Seth could sense annoyance in the entity as it answered.
"I see," Seth said, quietly watching Alexia's body disintegrate while thinking over the entity's words, and when her body was finally gone, he stood up and stepped into the air and for the first time noticed that his once missing left hand was back, but before he could dwell more on it, he noticed his surroundings.
He looked around at the giant crater he was now standing in, one which could only be outdone by the crater formed by the crash of the thunderstorm, the men, women, and children of the city all killed in a second.
Seth let out a sigh at the tragedy of their deaths, it wasn't his intention to destroy the city, but in the end, it happened and there was nothing he could do about it, and then with black lightening intensely cackling all over him, he disappeared.
