Odyssey of the Blind God

While Nial\'s body and mind were slowly accepting the unsealed power of the Cursed Divinity, a ruckus spread through the entire Universe, and even beyond that.

Every seal created by the Late God of Darkness was broken with the appearance of a new God with his powers. Millions of Devils were pulled out of their hiding, and the galaxies and stellar systems that had been considered destroyed, or disappeared, reappeared all of a sudden.

Everyone and everything that belonged to the Late God of Darkness resurfaced in the Universe where it had once belonged, and they were re-integrated into the system.

Space fissures appeared all over the vast expanse of the Universe and tens, if not hundreds of highly populated races returned to the place they belonged to; The side of the God of Darkness.

Nial was oblivious to anything that happened around him. He could only see the memories of the Late God of Darkness and felt that he was getting dragged into the darkness domain of the Late God of Darkness.

He was about to meet Damian once again…and for the last time. Nial could tell that their next meeting would be the last one, and that Damian would disappear not long after. The remnants of his soul would disperse and move to the afterlife where they should have been for eons by now.

What happened after was not something Damian knew but he was ready to embrace the afterlife, even if that meant he would be thrown in hell to be punished for the heinous sins he had committed.

[Welcome back, Nial. Looks like you made an interesting choice with your Cursed Divinity. It is a bit different from my expectations, but it certainly exceeds them as long as your plan works out.] Damian\'s voice rang through Nial\'s mind. He smiled lightly at the fully-focused image of the blind man, who was still young for the achievements he had attained.

He was a Saint Runicier, and a newly ascended God whose strength is far beyond the norms of an ordinary newly ascended God. His Cursed Divinity, the Heart of Gluttony could be considered a near-infinite storage for energy and the Cursed Divine Ability Devour fit the Cursed Divinity way too perfectly.

The Heart of Gluttony\'s overall enhancement in the power of Nial was also several times higher than the average Divinity. It was obvious that Nial thought a lot about the materials he had used to create his Cursed Divinity, and it was even more obvious that he extracted the Essence of everything perfectly. He comprehended Chaos and enhanced it using the superior Chaos of the Veils. All-in-all, Nial\'s Cursed Divinity was amongst the strongest in existence.

Nial knew that Dilan had a different type of Divinity and that he had focused on the creation of a Divinity with multiple powers that could be fused to be able to fight more diversified, but that was not something the Eternal Darkness would do.

The Undying fought head-on without the need to fear death. The Eternal Darkness, on the other hand, would devour everything in his surroundings, attack out of the shadows, and obliterate everyone who dared to get too close to him. Of course, this only meant that his opponents would be obliterated, and not that the people close to him. The people he cared for wouldn\'t have to fear anything.

"I am back, and you will leave soon. I saw your memories, and if there is one thing I wish to say…it\'s probably that you deserved my complete respect," Nial said, a little sad. He didn\'t meet Damian often but the Late God of Darkness felt like a part of his life and his existence.

The memories he had seen over the course of more than a hundred years were never the same, but they had also one thing in common…Damian never had a long period of peace, let alone happiness. It was already astonishing how long the Late God of Darkness survived while being all by himself. He was very lonely, for tens of thousands of years. That was not something everyone could handle.

Even when he was not alone, he felt lonely. After all, nobody dared to get too close to him. He was considered the biggest threat to the Universe, at that time, after all. Of course, that was nonsense but everyone believed that the Late God of Darkness was the threat, not the Ancients, Primordials and other big shots that were actually Advocates of the Pryard.

[What do you mean?] Damian asked nonetheless.

Nial thought that Damian might not think of himself as lonely because he had always been surrounded by his subordinates and Devils, and that it only looked like the Late God of Darkness was lonely in the memories.

"Nothing much. I am just certain that I could never stay on the side of the Universe and fight for its survival after they treated you like this. I would never be able to forgive them and would have slowly eradicated everyone, one after another.

Maybe I\'m just way too petty and overly aggressive, but that\'s just what I thought. You even tried to avoid injuring the Ancients and Primordials after they attacked and crippled you. Your entire focus was merely on the Advocates of the Pryard. I would definitely have attacked them if they were to dare obstruct my revenge. You are a very remarkable person. I respect you a lot!"

Because Nial knew that he would never meet the Late God of Darkness ever again, he felt like he had to say things he wouldn\'t usually speak out loud. He respected Damian a lot more than the Late God of Darkness might have thought. Thus, he spoke his thoughts out loud rather than keeping them in his mind.

Damian turned silent for quite a while. Nial thought that their connection had been cut off, but that was not actually the case. On the contrary, they were still connected to one another even after Damian said two mere words once he had gotten back to his senses.

[Thank you…]
