17 years ago, I was having the time of my life destroying that damn golden planet full of aliens and their multiverse concept binding junk demons like me were supposed to unbind and destroy.
I took great pleasure in the destruction, the screams of agony, and the blood that was splattered as me and my Lost Deities hacked at those stupid animals.
Eventually, I got tired of playing with my food and decided to blow up the planet with the snap of a finger, everything was gone, except that damn lion, Leone. He escaped on a rocket made by his parents.
I found out he was adopted by some random rich people whom me and my men killed, I seem to recall his real parents were scientists warning the Cosmic Creatures of me, but nobody believed them until I came and slaughtered them all.
Worthless gnats, all of them, I came to this planet to find the last remaining Cosmic Creature and my herald, Warren, failed me.
I am not sure why I bothered resurrecting that imbecile, even if he killed Leone's brother and angered him, he still could not bring Leone to me....
Perhaps he is not aware of the side effects of the powers I granted him in the new vessel he inhabits, he will find out soon enough.
Vessels.... An important factor in this game of manipulation, a game I, Acheron, is currently winning.
By inhabiting the body of Stefano I sent Leo, Evangolo, and Dakota all over the world, I don't care if I lose a couple of men, as long as I get to destroy concepts as they go wild.
Bit by bit, reality was crumbling, aspects diminishing, fate would not be a concept, nor would time.
I had to round them up and go in for the kill, sooner or later they would notice.
"Evangolo! Leo! Dakota! I found Acheron! He is inside the church!"
In a matter of moments, all of them were present.
"Where is Acheron?!" that damn animal questioned, I could sense his anger and power, that light would be a nuisance for me.
Evangolo looked around, "What is the meaning of this?"
Dakota raised an eyebrow, "Evan, what are you talking about?"
I drew out my katana toward the one woman I rejected.
"Dakota! look out!"
She noticed me about to stab her, only for that animal to save her.
"Stefano! What is going on with you?!" he questioned.
Evangolo face palmed and pointed at the vessel I was inhabiting, "Don't you get it Leo?! He is possessed! Most likely by a demon"
I smirked menacingly, "Not just one demon! A ton! Minions! Destroy them all along with the reality they inhabit! Go forth! And destroy their precious concepts!"
The demons swarmed the area, in a matter of seconds they were carving through reality, concepts being destroyed, it was beginning to look like a blank page in this church.
"MOONLIGHT SHADOW!"
Suddenly, a black shadow punched me, I spat blood as the vessel I was inhabiting crumpled and ejected me.
"Sorry Stefano, I'll heal you later, right now we have to deal with this threat, Evangolo! Dakota! You take care of the other demons, I'll be dealing with-"
I interrupted, "Still alive Cosmic Creature? How does it feel to know I was the one that killed your people? And soon you will all be extinct!"
"-?! So you're Acheron.... I have no words, you're a disgusting piece of merda.... Have you no remorse for the people you killed?! I'll avenge everyone!"
