It was for a single moment but every single being within the cosmos felt a sudden shift, a superregional fight between the true hidden rulers of the Cosmos, it was just a single action but its result has shaken the foundation of everything.
Beings that found themselves infallible truly found out how small they are, Gods and Devils that run rampant took steps back, and everything was a mess, meanwhile, the one who caused this all groggily rubbed his eyes as he woke up in his bed, confusion filled his eyes before soon the rest of what had happened played through his mind,
'Just what was all that?'
Xiao questioned himself, he had just awakened his bloodline but what the hell was happening with his life?
"All-Seer, show me all the messages"
Xiao spoke out and just as he did, numerous different information started to flash before him, it took him some time before which he was able to get a hand of whatever he had received,
[The Host Has Received Blessing Of The Darkness Over Life]

[Host Has Now awakened Several Abilities]
[All The Souls Of The Lost Would Now Take You Up As Their King]
[The Doors To Valhalla Opens After a Millennium ]
[The Crown Of Death Descends]
Just as the last message flashed through Xiao's eyes, a darkness deeper than the abyss surrounded Xiao blocking him away from everything, Perefone, danced with happiness within Xiao's flamescape as it gazed upon Xiao, a crown made of darkness deeper than light, a crown that reigned over death now floated above Xiao's head.
The beauty of the crown would take anybody's breath away, it had the common spikes that rose to the sky, at the head of it two scythes met each other in a cross, and a beautiful red gem was held in the middle, just as the crown lay in Xiao's head. souls of the dead roared as they surrounded Xiao in a protecting embrace,
'To others, death is the end but to me, it was the beginning'
A chant of understanding filled Xiao as he felt the authority that filled him, the darkness around him felt like home, while the souls that lingered around him seeking his approval, the minor law of darkness bend its head as it hailed him its king, the life of hundreds flashed through his eyes, bringing to him their treasures.
Xiao had gained the ability to reign over death, the end that many feared was his friend, raising his hand Xiao clenched it, feeling a pure power filling him, Xiao's eyes now was set ablaze as he could peer into the sins of the lost.
[Ability Eyes Of Death Gained]
[Ability Call Of Death Gained]
[Ability Summoner Of Lost Gained]
[Ability Darkness Call Gained]
[Ability The Punisher Of Hell Gained]
Xiao could feel and read the several powers that were now swimming with him, powers that could scare the toughest of men, he had gained several gifts that could drive everyone mad with greed and envy.
[Death Has Granted You Control Over The Aspect Of Death]
"Looks like I hit the jackpot here"
Xiao spoke out as he got a deeper understanding of his power but he wasn't overly excited about it,
'Sigh....more power to unwravel'
Xiao wasn't complaining, he would any day take power and talent over being talentless, it was just that his drive behind power had simmered down a lot.
[The Darkness Of Life Has Changed Host's Body, Granting him Unrivaled Talent and Understanding Over Any]
'There goes my worry of not having enough talent'
Xiao felt a hint of dread at himself as he started to get a deeper understanding of his power, the abilities granted to him were too much power, if he went all out, he might even cause a break in power and balance,
'At least now I have a supreme backing'
With this no longer does Xiao fear to display any of his death-related abilities, it should be such that bearers of the affinity of death that should be afraid of him,
'Manh......I am becoming too strong'
Xiao is now beginning to think that he might be getting a bit too powerful, with all the abilities in his arsenal, he's beginning to wonder that nobody will be able to battle in on a one of one, the same would go in a battle with an army, the ability that was scaring Xiao the most was...
=========
Ability: Devourer Of Souls
Description: A Cosmic defying power that lets one swallow a whole soul, hence taking for one the entire desire, power, and existence of the soul.
=========
While it might look like nothing, the ability was much more than that, it granted Xiao to become the best at everything! basically, he can call up the soul from the river of death and eat it, taking in all the experiences and understanding of the soul he consumes, not only that he could even take in the soul of the ones who he kills, not even granting them rest at death.
With this, he wouldn't even need to work like others...
Can't understand this Spiritual technique? no problem! just swallow a soul!
Can't understand this sword technique? no problem! just swallow a soul!
Can't understand why he betrayed you? no problem take his soul and swallow it!
Basically, Xiao would take in understanding just by eating, it was a broken skill,
'Hey, not complaining at all'
Soon Xiao got a limited understanding of his power, thus removing the darkness, within seconds he was back at his bed, and just as he did he got the call of Yurou,
'Darling, are you alright?!'
Her voice was filled with concern,
'I am okay, what happened?'
Xiao asked back,
'Well, I lost my connection with you for some time'
'Really?'
'Yes'
Hearing Yurou's words Xiao could understand that she was really shaken, even he too would be worried if he suddenly lost the connection he had with Yurou,
'What did you feel about that lightning earlier?'
Yurou asked making Xiao confused, it was only after she explained it to him, did he understood what had happened across the cosmos,
'It's a mess, the entire four havens are shaken, and everyone is scrambling to find out what's happening'
Yurou finally calmed down as she started to talk to Xiao about the things happening on her side,
'Well, don't worry about it and just go on with your things'
Xiao comforted and supported Yurou, thus they went on to talk with each other for a few minutes, the connection between them making them feel close even though they were apart.
