Chapter 1145: Farewell
After the King of the Depths was sealed for so long, something finally happened, a shooting
star fell from the skies, a goddess that had been rejected by the heavens and that had run away from the monster that she once called a husband. She realized his madness, something she had been blind to for too long until he started to treat her badly for it.
She was too self-centered, a woman that had barely just begun to open her eyes about reality and the world around her, perhaps too blinded by love and loyalty before to realize the horrendous acts she and her family committed.
Perhaps in her own sorrow and self-loathing, she fell from the skies without purpose or any desire other than to die, what else was there for her other than a monster of a husband and a family of psychopaths?
She too, was as insane as them before, but this awakening, this common sense that surged within her after living for so long and experiencing so much, only made her hate herself more than anybody else.
She fell, her divinity crystalizing her, aiming to protect her even as she fell from the heavens and became weaker. She was not the divine goddess of protection for nothing after all, even if she didn't wish for, her divinity would protect her.
SPLASH!
As she fell into the seas as a crystalized sphere of golden crystals, she continued moving down with tremendous force, until she fell over the area where the King of the Depths was sealed, piercing through his chains, and hitting his body.
BOOOM!
"This is...?! A gift from the heavens?! Has lord Ymir finally blessed me?!"
The King of the Depths devoured the sleeping goddess, gaining her tremendous divine powers, and regaining his former strength, slowly, he started breaking through the seal, while using his powers to summon monsters to devour any intelligent life in the sea.
And that's where Maria and her family appeared, how they met the Aquarose Kingdom, and ultimately battled the King of the Depths...
In that moment, as he faced them, he couldn't help but feel somewhat... fulfilled.
Finally, gods were coming to fight him.
Finally, he was going to slay them!
Yet as they fought, they constantly fought more and more fiercely.
Despite the powers he had, the King of the Depths was unable to win.
The tremendous hidden strength within the very depths of Maria's Origin Core were something beyond him.
Beyond anything.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The power of Nothingness consumed him, as all his ire, all his vengeful madness, it dissipated into the waters.
At long last, the souls felt relieved, that they were finally going to disappear.
Living like this, it was nothing but a torture...
"She is indeed very unique," laughed Oceanus.
"She reminds me of your little brother, Terran," said Ran.
"Caspian..." Terran sighed. "That's right, please, Maria, take it. Our last powers."
"Wait, huh?!"
FLASH!
Maria felt several tiny fragments shine within her, the last pieces of their souls.
"But if you used this, maybe you could go to the Titan Records! Do you need to sacrifice yourself for me?!" Maria tried to change their minds.
But they were already decided.
"It's fine, our souls should need to be much stronger to get there," said Terran. "And our
siblings have taken our places..."
"I think it's time... I just want to pass away," said Oceanus.
"Me too... I'm so tired of everything," Ran sighed.
Maria for the first time meet beings so ancient they only wanted to pass away and leave
everything behind.
She couldn't argue with them, they weren't wrong in their words either.
"Don't worry, we shall go to the sea," said Oceanus.
"Indeed..." Ran nodded.
"And I shall go back to the mountains..." Terran smiled. "Good luck, Maria. Please, take care
of this fragile world..."
"Everyone..."
Maria wanted to talk so much with them, yet they all disappeared before she could even
begin.
A sense of bittersweetness filled her heart.
