*Null continued attacking every monster he saw and kept leveling up every time he defeated one. He was using everything: his sword, his fists, his feet, even his teeth if necessary to advance.*
Null: Will this never end?
*He said as he saw the thousands and thousands of monster bodies lying on the ground.*
Null: It doesn't matter —he looks back at the wave of monsters approaching— I'll kill as many as I can!
*Null throws himself into the massacre, attacking and killing several, receiving wounds and bruises that regenerate but without healing the pain.*
System:
YOU HAVE LEVELED UP
YOU HAVE LEVELED UP
YOU HAVE LEVELED UP
*The system window repeats every time Null kills a monster.*
Meanwhile
*In the forest of the creator, a portal appears that begins to distort the infinite dimensions and warp reality. Alanai emerges from it, bound in Alcanor's chains*
Alanai: Was that necessary, Alcanor? —she says as she walks— I won't do anything!
*Alcanor emerges from the portal, using his telekinesis to carry a man in a dark hood and a girl*
Alcanor: That's what you said, and you almost killed Hanzo and this one, —he points to the hooded man— so I had to prevent a second... incident, since Zareth entrusted them to me.
*Alcanor releases the hooded man and the girl, and they fall to the ground. Alcanor watches them patiently.*
Nevaeh: W-who are you?
Alcanor: (Authoritative) My name is Alcanor, but all inferior beings call me The Creator. —He watches them for a moment and then says— I know your names, but it is better that you introduce yourselves to me properly.
Nevaeh: (Scared) M-my n-name is N-Nevaeh, M-Mr. Creator.
Alcanor: Very well.
*Azrael stands protectively in front of Nevaeh*
Azrael: Don't worry, I'm with you. —His face becomes somber and his gaze is now cold and calculating. He then speaks in a cold tone—. Another deity? So what? I won't let you do anything to Nevaeh. If you touch a hair on her head, I swear I'll kill you.
*Alanai begins to laugh out loud as if what he heard was the best joke ever*
Alanai: Do you really think a being like you can defeat Alcanor? Hahaha —he continues to laugh mockingly— he created death itself, not even I could kill him
Azrael: Then it's better to try, isn't it? Or are you afraid? —he said in a cold, calculating tone as he analyzed him, looking for any blind spots or weaknesses— If you're so strong, then prove it.
*A dark, gravitational aura emerges from Azrael's body.*
Alcanor: I know what you're trying to do, but I'll have to put you in your place so you can reflect on your position. —Alcanor approaches Azrael, completely unmoved by Azrael's darkness and gravity.— We'll start whenever you're ready.
Azrael: Very well.
*Azrael moves at a speed irrelevant to any inferior being and throws a kick, but Alcanor takes no damage and doesn't even seem to have been hit.*
Azrael: But what-
*Alcanor simply moves his head, and Azrael flies away and has to use his gravity to recover.*
Azrael: OK, I admit it, you're powerful.
*Azrael begins to use his original power and speed and attacks with absurdly superior speed and power compared to before, but...*
Alcanor: And when will you kill me?
*None of Azrael's attacks affect Alcanor; it doesn't even look like he's been fighting.*
Azrael: What the hell are you?
*Azrael tries to throw a punch, but Alcanor stops him with just a glance, as if it were nothing.*
Alcanor: Now you're in my domain, and you'd better do as I say.
Azrael: Shit —he tries to move but is completely paralyzed by his gaze— let me go!
Alcanor: You never learn, do you?
*Alcanor lets him move*
Alcanor: I'll count to 3.
Azrael: What do you mean?
Alcanor: 1.
*Azrael thinks and tries to use his omniscience, but it doesn't work on Alcanor, so he tries to look around*
Alcanor: 2.
*Azrael analyzes the entire place and then takes Nevaeh and carries her with him*
Azrael: Let's get out of here fast.
Nevaeh: I'm scared, Azrael.
Azrael: Don't worry, I'm with you.
Alcanor: (from the same place) 3.
*Azrael feels a chill run down his spine when he sees Alcanor in front of him.*
Azrael: But wh-
*Alcanor grabs him with one hand and starts dragging his face across the floor.*
Alcanor: Your time is up.
*Then he lifts him up and kicks him in the solar plexus, followed by a punch to the chin.*
Alcanor: I'm not even using 1% of my power, and you can't even take that. Weren't you going to kill me?
Azrael: (wounded and with blood in his mouth) Because... I can't regenerate —he looks at his bruises and blood— how is it that you...
Alcanor: No one is immortal before me.
*Azrael turns pale when he sees that Alcanor remains unmoved and calm, as if nothing had happened at all.*
Alanai: (laughing) I told you, you're lucky he's merciful, otherwise he would have erased you with just a thought!
*Azrael looks at Alanai in disbelief, but seeing the sincerity behind Alanai's mockery, he realizes it's a lost battle and sighs*
Azrael: Fine, I give up, but please don't do anything bad to my Nevaeh.
Alcanor: I never said I would hurt them.
Azrael: Huh?
Alcanor: (sighing) Don't you remember? I will only limit their powers so that they can have an adventure with my executioner.
Alanai: I wish you hadn't remembered, he said with annoyance. I wanted you to kill them, but since that's not going to happen...
Alcanor: (sighing) Alanai, I would never forget something, and even if I did, I wouldn't kill them just because. —He puts a hand on his forehead— How much patience do I need to put up with you? —He looks at Nevaeh— Stand next to Azrael.
*Nevaeh nods and approaches Azrael and hugs him.*
Nevaeh: Azrael, are you okay? I can't believe how badly you're hurt.
Alcanor: Well, Azrael, will you attack again?
Azrael: No, I won't attack anymore. —He sighs and looks at Nevaeh and smiles.—
Alcanor: Very well. —He heals Azrael and returns his immortality.— I want to show you my executioner so you know who he is.
Azrael: Executioner? Are you talking about him, Null?
Alcanor: Exactly —a system window appears in his right hand and he makes it visible to Azrael and Nevaeh. The system shows Null facing countless monsters in the lower hell— he is Null, although his real name is Valker. Don't worry, he's not evil; in fact, he's quite the opposite.
Azrael: (excited) That sounds exciting! I want to join that war!
Nevaeh: Are you sure? It seems very dangerous.
Alcanor: It's nothing for you, but it will be when he takes away most of your powers.
*Before Azrael and Nevaeh can say anything, Alcanor extends his right hand toward them and suddenly it begins to glow with a purple light that covers Azrael and Nevaeh. Then that light goes to Alcanor's hand, forming two spheres. One sphere is dark red with a dark aura, and the other is yellow and dark with a white aura.*
Alcanor: Ready.
Azrael: What did you do to us?
Nevaeh: What happened to me?
Alcanor: (laughs) I just limited your powers. Now you'll have an exciting adventure, and—looking at Azrael— you don't have omniscience now, you only have great perception as compensation.
Azrael: (sighs) I can't believe it. If I'm so weak now, I can no longer be the rising sun, nor can I be the king of Sombrafel.
Alcanor: I will return your powers when you manage to pass the supreme celestial plane of the blue moon.
*Alcanor creates a portal and motions for Azrael and Nevaeh to enter, and with no other choice, they enter the portal, which then closes*.
Alcanor: (sigh) Well, this will be interesting.
*Alcanor makes the spheres fly, and they land on the ground, creating two small trees*.
Alcanor: Good, their powers are now stored away.
Alanai: And... when will you release me?
Alcanor: As long as you promise not to interfere with them again (sigh).
Alanai: I can't promise anything... unless you praise me for not doing so! —she said playfully—
Alcanor: (with a heavy voice, as if it were difficult for him to say) W-w-well... very well! —he breathes as if he had been choking—
Alanai: Oh, come on, don't be dramatic.
*While Alcanor and Alanai are in the Forest of the Creator, Nevaeh and Azrael appear in the lower hell through the portal*
