Chapter 13
Now far away, in another realm were space and time flowed differently.
Here, distance had no meaning. Direction had no meaning it was endless and infinite.. Even time itself felt unsure of how it should move. Stars, planets, and broken pieces of many worlds floated freely in the endless darkness, as if abandoned by their creators. Some were whole. Some were shattered. Some were slowly fading, their light barely holding on.
Streams of glowing energy connected these fragments together, stretching like veins across existence itself. They hummed softly, carrying power, memories, and laws older than most universes. The ground beneath everything looked like liquid marble, constantly shifting, reflecting strange lights from above and below at the same time.
Shadows of lost worlds drifted silently through the void...echoes of civilizations that had risen, fallen, and been forgotten.
Very few beings could enter this place
And even fewer could truly understand it
Most Begins didn't even know of it's existence it was the Pantheon void .
The Pantheon Void was not just a realm.
It was a watcher.
A hidden place that observed everything across uncountable worlds, dimensions and universe it was a divine realm created by the supreme diety
A place full of secrets, authority, and absolute power.
From this endless expanse, a figure stood.
He gazed foward, his vision stretching across countless universes at oncce, with the pantheon void, he could see worlds being born and worlds dying. He saw stars collapse rise and fall even the mortals struggles . He watched the flow of life, energy, and fate as if they were threads in a massive tapestry.
Then among the infinite threads of reality he saw her.
His mother.
Arin.
A slow smile spread across his face.
And his smile was filled with corruption
"Oooo…" he murmured, his voice calm yet filled with amusement.
"There you are, Mother."
Back at Renji's Apartment
Ehhhh!! Wow!!
So you are saying that even I can challenge my brother at his glory days oooo shit you are so going to get roasted big brother Lily said with a chuckled smile
Arin laughed uncontrollably...seriously you remind me alot about januza when he was a little kid
But...
Before she could finish that statement
GBIM!!!
A chilling pressure suddenly engulfed the entire room.
The air itself trembled.
Arin froze.
And renji noticed her tone was different are you okay mother he asked?
But Arin turned slightly, her golden eyes narrowing as she felt his presence pull at her senses. The pressure was cold, sharp, and familiar...like a blade brushing against her skin.
But she was no ordinary being.
No… she wasn't.
She wasn't called the Mother of Creation for nothing.
Her power surged naturally, responding to the threat without conscious effort. The walls creaked.
And her lips curved into a dangerous smile.
Seriously!!
"You foolish son of mine," she said, her voice echoing across the room as if reality itself was listening.
"I've found you!!"
Renji turned toward his mother, confusion flashing across his face.
Impossible is she talking about choji ! How is that possible???
"What's wrong, Mother?" he asked.
Arin didn't answer immediately.
Her eyes began to glow brighter and brighter, golden light flooding her gaze. Slowly, the twelve-pattern design of her divine eyes appeared, rotating gently like celestial gears.
She finally spoke.
"Let's go, Januza. Let's go. I know where your brother is."
Sakura's eyes widened.
"Ehh wait! That's Impossible!" she exclaimed. "I couldn't find him at all ..not even across the universe!"
Arin glanced at her calmly.
"That's because he isn't in any universe," she said evenly.
"He's outside of it."
Her gaze sharpened.
"Instead of you watching him… he's watching you."
Always one step ahead !!
The weight of those words settled heavily in the room.
Then Arin turned back to Renji.
"Over two thousand years ago," she continued, "I left this universe to you and your brother. I never expected your brother to turn out this way… all for the sake of seeking more power."
Her expression hardened.
"Let's go, Januza. We're going to the Pantheon Void."
Renji stiffened.
Pantheon Void…?
I had never heard that name before. Not once. Not even in over two thousand years of existence.
Shit !! this was not the time for me to ask questions.
He nodded, his voice firm.
"Let's go."
BOOM!!
The two of them burst into the air, shattering the roof above them as concrete and debris exploded outward.
As they soared through the sky, the wind screamed past them.
Renji kept pace beside his mother and finally spoke.
"How are we going to get to this place, Mother? I've never heard of it. What is the Pantheon Void?"
Arin glanced at him, her teeth gritting slightly.
"You weren't supposed to know," she replied. "Not even your brother was supposed to know."
Her expression darkened.
" But I don't know how Azerin found out about it. He was never meant to."
She accelerated.
"let's go we won't reach it by flying. But for now...follow me."
BOOM!!
She surged forward, her speed exploding as she shot past the clouds.
Renji's eyes widened.
She's fast…
Too fast.
Even for him.
But he refused to fall behind.
He pushed forward with all his speed sending his mana across the space foward that made him go faster his power was roaring as he chased after her.
Suddenly...
The world disappeared.
The sky vanished.
They found themselves in space, surrounded by solar systems, stars, and massive galaxies stretching endlessly in every direction.
Both of them stopped.
Arin closed her eyes.
Renji looked around in awe space?? Why are we in space?
"What are we doing here, Mother?" he asked.
She didn't answer.
Suddenly!!
Her eyes snapped open.
Golden light erupted from her body, shaking the entirety of space itself. Stars trembled. Galaxies distorted.
With one word she spoke a commandment "COME FORTH" and they obeyed.
One by one, her nine golden rings appeared, floating behind her, the coming foward
They moved slowly at first....
She raised her hands and gestured in perfect circles.
The rings responded.
They began to spin.
Faster.
And faster.
And faster.
And the fabric of space began to tear.
Space stretched unnaturally, forming a boundary between the universe and something beyond it. A gap formed an opening that should not exist.
Renji stared in disbelief.
Wow it's been a long time since I've seen Mother display this level of authority… he thought.
The rings suddenly stopped.
A pathway had formed a road leading beyond existence and arin turned to him.
"Let's go."
They stepped forward.
And crossed the boundary.
Renji's breath caught in his throat.
His mind couldn't process what he was seeing.
Stars.
Planets.
Fragments of countless worlds floating freely in the dark.
Streams of glowing energy connecting everything like veins.
Arin looked ahead calmly.
"Welcome," she said,
"to the Pantheon Void."
