Moments before Miya's arrival at the Hollow land, she had trained in the physical realm. She explored, until she saw a small village and walked into it.
I'll have to train myself harder... to find my way home, and visit my parents again. I miss them completely... Miya's thoughts were carrying sadness. That was until somebody pushed themselves off the wall.
"Trying to get stronger huh? I can help with that." the mysterious voice echoed through the night sky. It was a man who wore an outfit that of a villager.
Miya glanced over to his direction and was unsure about it.
"You can help?" says Miya, as she didn't know what to say about the offer he gave her for help.
"Yeah. My name is Kennedy, pleasure to meeting you and I'll be glad to help." he says with a smile. It was a gentle smile.
She shot a glance at him, still unsure. But yet, Miya hadn't sensed any malicious intent from him.
"Sure." Miya agreed as Kennedy had taken her to a training spot he always trains at.
They walked through the woods, and had arrived at a large spot in the forest. Kennedy glanced over at Miya, who wore a black coat with golden accents, black tights and black combat high top boots with a gray shirt and a black fur scarf.
"Before we start, where are you going that requires that kind of fit?" says Kennedy as he remains calm.
"The Hollow Land. I've been brought back from the dead, so I'll be heading over there soon." says Miya as she also remained calm, but she was a bit too calm for her situation.
"Wait, the Hollow Land? That's dangerous! You do understand what y-" he was cut off by Miya's finger on his lips, shushing him.
"Hey. It's ok. I'll live." Miya was confident when she said this. Kennedy glanced at her as she puts her hand down. He sighed.
"Ok... well, the dragons on that land are dangerous, capable of destroying higher dimensions.. maybe even more. I can tell by your presence you're strong, but that's not enough. So, I'll teach you how to use a future sighting ability, known as [Eternal Time Link]." says Kennedy with a calming tone. It had peeked Miya's interest.
An ability that allows me to see the future... wonder how far and what the downside is.. Miya's thoughts were curious about the ability. She had questions that were unanswered currently.
"I'll explain it. You can see five minutes into the future. Of course you can limit it how you like in terms of time. The downside is the brain malfunctioning and becoming overloaded with possibilities. It can affect you conceptually." says Kennedy as he puts his hand on his chin while he starts thinking.
"I think, with your brain capacity, you can handle it." Kennedy adds onto his explanation on the ability.
Back into the present time...
Miya had wandered around the snowy area after defeating and taming Amira, looking for nests.
I was only able to beat Amira because of that ability... I know there's more downsides to it since he mentioned them.. good thing I've learned how to manually refresh my brain through manipulation... Miya's thoughts were unfazed and calm, even after knowing about the downsides and effects of this future seeing and predicting ability.
Miya wandered around some more, while Lucifer had went exploring on his own in the Hollow Land.
Miya's potential is absurd.. her growth is limitless. She could even surpass me at some point. As of right now, she had already surpassed most, if not, all High-Dimensional Gods... Lucifer's thoughts remained calm, but it had also carried some anger and jealousy.
"How can one being grow this fast within an entire year...? It takes many years to get this strong!" murmured Lucifer as he started getting envious and angry.
"How...? not unless.. she has the seed of true awakening..." Lucifer's eyes widened as he realizes that something was off.
He had started to realize it completely. Anyone who collects the fragment crystals of a deceased god or goddess was summoned here with the seed of true awakening.
"Dammit!" Lucifer shouts as he clenched his fist, upset that he had stopped growing stronger due to being a nature of an archangel.
Lucifer vanished quickly, then had tackled Miya onto the snowy ground. Miya collapses on the ground, landing on her back and glanced at him.
"What are you doing?" Miya asks as her voice started to carry seriousness.
"You... you were summoned here, to this world, with the seed of true awakening haven't you? I should have noticed." says Lucifer as he has his elbow against her neck.
Miya kicks him off and stood up wiping off the snow from her clothes. She was unsure what Lucifer meant.
"Seed of True Awakening? The hell are you talking about?" Miya asks as she was curious, but yet, she remained calm and unfazed.
"Anyone who takes the fragment crystals from deceased goddess' or gods, and those who are summoned, has been brought with the seed of true awakening in their existence! I'm far superior to you regardless of your shitty seed!" Lucifer shouts in anger and jealousy as it boils up more in him.
Miya glanced at him and immediately sensed anger and jealousy in Lucifer as she sighed.
"You're jealous aren't you? that you can't get stronger? You're too prideful, so I'll help you understand that there's always someone stronger than you are." says Miya with a comforting tone. Lucifer glanced at her with distrust, jealousy, pride and anger. It was mixed feelings he felt for Miya.
"You don't get it." says Lucifer as he chuckles pridefully and jealousy.
"I'm far stronger than you are! and I still believe that I'll be stronger than any being in existence!" Lucifer shouted as anger, but also pain built up.
Miya sighed again, knowing Lucifer won't back down and admit that he can't beat anybody who's far superior than him in every qualitative way.
"Fine then.. I'll fight you until you understand that you aren't always powerful." says Miya calmly. Her words hit his prideful ego like a brick, and is when he felt wounded.
Lucifer glanced at her with distrust still, and smirked pridefully and mockingly.
"You think you'll make me admit that? I'm the sin of fucking pride!" Lucifer shouts with pride building up.
They both vanished in an instant, their movements were instantaneous. Once they clashed, it shook the entire Hollow Land, alerting the other hollow dragons as well as the countless nests in the mountains.
Miya who remained calm, had attacked with her heavenly blade which was a gift from God. Lucifer avoided this attack with ease, and removed Miya existence completely. His attack wasn't the usual same attack, but was built on pride and anger.
Lucifer snarled a little in anger, but was replaced with a very prideful smirk in an instant. Miya then completely regenerated her body and concept.
"You're immortality is beyond what I've dealt with. Perhaps... you stayed alive because you believe that as long as you stay alive, it'll happen?" says Lucifer with a prideful smirk, while Miya had remained calm.
She glanced at him with a calming stare. Miya as a fighter, had grown immensely powerful during her death.
"If I choose to stay alive, then I'll stay alive regardless what happens..." says Miya calmly, but with a softening tone.
Her soft and calming tone had started irritating Lucifer. He wouldn't admit that he's jealous, even though he knows Miya was correct.
"Stop fighting Lucifer... I'm no-" Miya's sentence was stopped mid way. All of reality was black and white. Time came to a halt. Every molecule, all normal and platonic concepts, laws, every abstract ideas had came to a halt. Stopped completely. Not even the concept of speed and direction exist within stopped time.
Lucifer had sent Miya upwards into the sky and flew upwards. Lucifer pierces through Miya's body with just his hand, feeling the blood rushing onto his hand. As he rips his hand out of her body, her very source of living disappeared.
Lucifer snapped his finger, resuming time in which causes Miya's body to get destroyed. He sensed her presence and was more irritated than before.
Miya's lifeless body, had came back to life and regenerated all wounds completely from the attacks of Lucifer.
"Just stay dead mortal..." Lucifer voices carries a deep and low growl in anger as Miya glanced at him.
"I can't win against you Lucifer, not from where I'm at, but you can't kill me. So why keep trying...?" Miya asks calmly. Her words, again, hits Lucifer like a large brick hitting the head of a human.
His heart ached painfully. Lucifer didn't want to admit anything. His pride was in the way of everything. He knew he was wrong, but his pride didn't want to let that go.
"Don't manipulate me you mortal! I'm stronger than you ever be! Stronger than all the archangels!" Lucifer shouts as his voice carries anger.
They both continued floating in the sky above the snowy grounds of the Hollow Land. Miya was unfazed, and was calmer than before. She was the only one who could get to Lucifer and put some sense into him.
