Anyway, enjoy!

-

As the shadows of the void expanded towards the Hollow and Yhwach, consuming their essence, their power, their souls, something began to stir within me. Pure and uncontrolled power.

More power than I had ever felt before.

At first, it felt intoxicating, addicting, like a rush that electrified every part of my body, my soul, leaving nothing but the pure sense of adrenaline.

This however, didn't last long.

This intoxicating feeling died out very quickly, transforming into something else, pain pain beyond imagining.

I could feel my soul being torn apart, to give room for something new, something beyond comprehension, something transcendent. My soul, and body as they were now were simply not enough for what I had to become, so it had to destroy the foundations of my being, after all before creation comes destruction.

The pain was brutal, unspeakable, I wanted to scream, to cry, to do anything about it, because while I understood why it was necessary, it still hurt.

But despite wanting some semblance of release, I couldn't move, or speak, my soul in its shattering state kept me still, like a caterpillar inside their cocoon, completely aware of what was happening, yet unable to do anything but wait.

I have no idea how long this pain lasted. It felt like an eternity trapped in a single moment, where time lost all meaning and the only reality was the agony of transformation. The shadows of the void continued their relentless assault, shaping my soul, yet within this crucible of pain and power, I could feel the essence of my being reshaping, evolving into something entirely new.

As the pain began to subside, replaced by a burgeoning strength that filled the voids left by my shattered soul, I realized that I was no longer the person I once was. I had become something else, something more. My senses were heightened to a degree that I could perceive the fabric of the universe, the flow of energy that connects all things.

I was no longer Adam, the man who had reincarnated, nor I was Yhwach, the Quincy King.

I was someone else.

Someone new.

I still loved Fairy Tail.

I still loved Erza.

But I didn't feel like Adam.

It was a strange sensation. Perhaps I was neither of them, perhaps I was the sum of them.

Though I suppose if that was the case, the dominant part of this sum was Adam.

Either way.

A lot had changed.

I was stronger than ever before. And with this newfound power came a clarity of purpose. I understood my role in this universe.

I understood why the Soul King had created his sons.

I understood why he had decided to destroy everything.

He wanted to die.

All his existence had been one of loneliness.

But I could now relate to his pain, and because of that, I could see another path.

This was nothing but the longest suicide letter.

He knew Adam would stop Yhwach, he knew that if he did so, he would never die.

"Kill me," The Soul King replied, his eyes meeting mine. "The future you saw is more than I have ever wanted, yet, I couldn't see it. I want to be free of this, of this burden, release me from this, so that you may gain freedom as well."

So he chose that path. How sad, I would've wanted him to live, if anything for the sake of having someone strong enough to spar with me.

"I will make it painless," I replied, plunging my hand through his chest, letting the void absorb him.

This time however, as his body dissipated, his power and essence fusing with mine, there was no change, no transformation. I was stronger, but no different.

I had won.

No flashy battle.

No struggle.

Just won.

It's time to go home.

Finally.

"I think I will open a cat cafe," I said, bursting into a chuckle a few seconds after. It seems I was Adam after all, how odd though, I didn't feel like him.

Yet 90% of my desires were his.

I suppose I still haven't fully processed my transformation.

"I should really fix this world before leaving," I muttered, teleporting to the Soul King's palace. Once there, I walked to the vault, finding Ichibe's corpse on the ground.

He was still alive. In a manner of speaking.

If someone said his name, he would come back.

I smiled, I had found the perfect solution to this problem. "Ichibe."

In the blink of an eye, ink started pouring around Ichibe's body, reforming him back to perfect health.

"You.. absorbed the blade, Yhwach and the Soul King," Ichibe muttered, unsure why I had even resurrected him in the first place.

He would soon see.

The reason I had resurrected Ichibe was simple.

This world needed a linchpin, Ichibe had been the one to provide one the first time around, now he would fill that role.

Needless to say, I sealed his powers, so that his name carried no meaning, and increased his reiatsu, sealing him in a prison far more secure than the one he had used to seal father.

One where even death was beyond his reach.

He would never die.

He would never escape.

He would live forever.

In the same kind of torment he had once sought to trap others into.

Now all that was left. Was going home.

I was done with all of this.

War.

Fighting.

I just wanted to retire.

I guess there's my answer as to who I am.

I chucked, creating a rift back to my own world.
