Ch.54 [ I... Am... ]

'So... Ashy, when are you going to tell him that you are nearly "Complete" ? ' Queresha asked while hugging a small dokkaebi.

Ashborn stared at every Monarch, one by one. As they had watched his form... most of his body was Missing. 'Our last... won't succeed my whole army... only the one's he had managed to get through Father. But... all of you look quite good.' He calmly spoke. Looking at each Monarch still.

'We always feel when he uses our powers, remember? He is careful to grow by himself, to not be over depend on us... But... you all can see that shit.' Antares spoke, looking above as a strange eye was there. 'Yeah... I've seen another who borrowed power from this thing. This is a being similar to us in one way. Can't directly touch the normal verse, requiring a host. But always taking care of its hosts as a Mother. As a Parent. Fully Loyal.' Yogumunt spoke while caressing his beard. 

'Really? Normal Verse? Just call it universe you dumbo.' Queresha commented. As the little Dokkaebi started squirming under her grasp which tightened.

'Now, Now... let's calm down for now. Seems like our successor came back for a visit.' Dov said while sniffing the air. It was filled with mixes of feelings.

As William walked in, the big eye above simply disappeared. 'Long time no see...' He walked in, tad sad. He looked around, feeling Chaos around somewhere in this piece of land(?)

'Hmm... Dragonification didn't progress a lot...' Antares muttered whilst staring at Will, who only stared at him for moment, before sitting down.

'So, what got you down?' Ashborn asked as Will looked at him, noticing his now distorted form. 'Not much... except losing a sight of my goal. It was always seeking more power for peace of mind... for revenge. But now? It feels kinda bleak, yeah... bleak.' He said with bit of grim face, as Queresha turned to him, and turned him to her. Placing her hands on his cheek and lightly clapping him few times.

'Then. Find. ONE!' She shouted tad aggressive as she couldn't stand the sight of his bit depressive self. 'It matters not that you don't see one Right Now! How about finding another one? It can be few minor goals which you'll accomplish quickly. And during those you can give yourself another one or two.' She started berating him like a proper adult.

'Also, what the fuck did you let latch onto you?' Yogumunt asked as Will sighed. He closed his eyes, finding the connection with Chaos much more... Clean. It was as if the path between the two was unclogged. He felt its embrace around him, as one of its hand caressed his cheek and other one lightly ruffled his hair. 'huh... four arms? Or are you simply making more to make me happy?' He asked calmly as he turned back. Nothing could be spotted there, but he knew that Chaos was sitting there.

'Anyway. Seems like you grew a lot since our last meeting!' Dov shouted with a smirk. His eyes stared right at him, like a predator. 

Each Monarch looked strangely at Dov, then back at William. Finally noticing what he was doing.

'Combining Life and Death into single source? Also... You have been tinkering with Your Heart?' Ashborn muttered as his armor-like face got closer to Will's chest. His free hand lightly approached his chest, as the Heart responded in vice. Beating much more actively.

'Yeah... My Origin allows me to tap into other powers. Other Power Systems. The problem is... that if it has any sort of "Unique Per Person Power" -'

'You meet a wall, as none of these powers ever had met such being. Remember that we are classified as Higher Beings, with only few at our step.' Ifzul calmly commented, as everyone scanned each energy in his Heart...

'Astonishing, an energy which can weaken and steal control of other energies? Wait... what are these two things? They are completely Dry!' Blanchard shouted as he noticed a small piece of what appeared to be bone-like mask and a bow, bot dry of whatever was supposed to source them.
