Chapter 51 - 51 - Fragment

"Why... How are you here?" Soulshifter stammered in a trembling voice.

"This is the price of my revenge against those treacherous gods who sought to steal my power of greater item creation," Ashren explained.

"I chose to wander in the void instead of undergoing reincarnation. This is the cost, and you cannot obstruct our plans," Ashren continued.

"Great Fragment of the Mother of Creation, I beseech the honor of correcting this anomaly," Ashren respectfully bowed, awaiting the fragment's approval.

The fragment nodded in agreement, signaling Ashren to proceed with the correction of the anomaly.

Within the void, Ashren wielded a hammer, a tool for forging the weapon of change. With a resolute strike, he targeted Soulshifter's ego. An ethereal light emitted from Ashren's hammer, illuminating the surroundings as the laws themselves began to shift and transform. Strange and arcane words flowed through the air like a mystic river. Ashren, with each deliberate swing of his hammer, rewrote the very essence of the Law of Contract, altering the fundamental rules that bound the realm.

"No, you can't! How? How are you altering the laws?" Soulshifter screamed in agony.

"I created this realm, it is separate from the current realm, and those laws do not apply here. No one will be able to notice if the laws have changed in this realm. When I send you back to the current realm, they will remain ignorant. We shall erase your memory, so you will not recall what transpired here," The Fragment of the Mother of Creation spoke with a voice that resonated ominously. nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

Soulshifter's screams of agony gradually faded into silence as Ashren completed the re-forging of the Ego and altered the law. He removed the Law of Contract and replaced it with the Law of Favor, a new set of rules that would grant Eclipse and Bong certain benefits and protections.

"This barrier is not a tangible construct, but rather a metaphysical concept. It will trigger automatically whenever Eclipse employs the Soulshifter's ability to exchange life for souls. It functions as a dimensional partition, isolating the Soulshifter from the current dimension and relocating it to an alternate realm," She explained with clarity, ensuring that Ashren understood the intricacies of the safeguard.

Once her work was complete, she sent the Soulshifter back to reality. In this fragmented realm, time flowed differently than in Eclipse's current reality. As the Soulshifter returned, Eclipse moved to intercept it, a sense of urgency in his actions.

However, as he observed the Soulshifter's return, he noticed something peculiar. There appeared to be no immediate change in Bong, and the Soulshifter remained silent, refusing to communicate with him.

Eclipse suddenly had an epiphany, and a burst of laughter overcame him. He couldn't believe he hadn't realized it sooner.

"I've got it! How did I not understand this before? Haha! How could you even attempt to claim years of life from Bong? He's your creator! Now, it's your turn to face the consequences!" Eclipse laughed heartily, even breaking into a silly dance in the middle of the forest. Onlookers stared at him with perplexed expressions.

"What on earth are you doing, Eclipse? Why are you dancing like that?" Bong inquired, utterly bewildered.

But then, in a surprising turn of events, Seraphina sprang into action. She swiftly grabbed Eclipse and tossed him a considerable distance away.

"You, scram from here! I have something crucial to discuss with Master. Be gone from here!" She declared, her tone a mix of urgency and drama.

Eclipse, with his head hanging low and his backside up in the air, let out a voice that sounded more pitiful than painful.

"What did I do to deserve this treatment? Is dancing such a ridiculous offense?" He mumbled with a voice that conveyed his bewilderment.
