The Veiled Man presented the last mural piece. It showed hundreds of souls get forced into the tower, and the Kloseg exited it, veiling the world.
"But what about The Entity?"
"The what?"
"You don't know what I speak of"
"I have never heard of a being called Entity,"
"It doesn't have a name, but it's real, I saw it with my own eyes. I fought it and cast it out along with the Kloseg when we fought for our lives at that forsaken tower."
"Then this Entity is new, or something we never found. What was it?"
"It's a being that defies all logic. Imagine one thing that can alter reality within an instant. Even The Blue Light had needed us to defeat it."
"Interesting."
"I felt its power. Reality bending, breaking, reforming, all in seconds of its presence. I thought it killed me, but it also didn't? I felt myself be torn into a thousand pieces, but in that same memory, I didn't die. Kalor mentioned he went back in time to help our cause with placing a rune in a specific area. No doubt with the help of some outside sources. No one knew about the powers then."
"The blue light perhaps. It might of thought that revealing the powers was lesser of a risk than letting you lose. Did you kill it in the end?"
"Hopefully. But before we did, it opened a wound in the sky, letting the sins of man into the world-"
"The Serpents of Sin, I know them. They bargained with the gods,"
"How do you know so much?"
"When you are forever guarding the knowledge of the powers, you tend to get bored."
"Is there a way to kill these gods?"
"To that I don't know. I've never seen these gods. But if they made a bargain with the snakes, then there is a loophole. There must be a way. We just need to understand the laws of the bargain,"
Ira sat in silence for a few minutes, thinking.
"I never got your name, what is it?" Ira asks.
"Hmm. I don't quite remember my name that well. It's been long since I've met another human."
"Well what do you think it is?"
"I think it is old tounge, much older than the one you speak. 'Alcor' it might be,"
"Then for now, I'll call you Alcor. What does it mean?"
"It means : Chorus-singer"
Somewhere else on Earth :
Solomon hid from the blasts and gunfire and Fractal projectiles. He contacted his foot soldiers to his aid, as he cowered under the desk.
The Fractal users were proficient at their power, crafting new weapons of mass destruction: a spear, detonating and shifting reality to another. Clay men and women stood at where real people were, now dead and encased in fractal darkness.
As the foot soldiers arrived, they immediately began fighting the Fractal users.
"Sir, we came to get you and no one else, we Bert need to go now!" A soldier said as he took Solomon's arm and ran. As the soldiers died and turned to fractal dust, Solomon took the shard from his pocket he kept from Kalor's wound.
He held it in his hand, and felt the power surge in his body. His physical strengths tripled, and he felt no weakness in his body. The orange hue around his body enhanced him, making him stronger than he could possibly imagine.
He slammed his fist into the ground, and the seismic force shook the ground, cracking it. He took a slab with his free hand, and tossed it at one of the fractals, injuring it. He faced them head on, fearing the worst.
He dodged the fists full of fractal energy, dealing punches and low kicks, shattering the glass armor of the users. One of them threw their spear, and he dodged the initial assault. As it exploded, he thought for sure he would die.
When he recovered quicker than usual, there was no damage whatsoever. He was completely unharmed.
As the last user charged with all of her might, Solomon grabbed her by the head, and crushed her head within an instant, no struggle.
"Collect your dead, and theirs. I need more research."
Solomon let go of the shard, and the power left with it. He put it back in his pocket, and left with the soldiers in their vehicles.
Solomon's shadow stayed, S.M.I.L.I.N.G.
In the Lake of Fire :
"THE MEN OF EARTH LEARN OUR WAYS; UNDERSTANDING OUR POWER! WHAT MUST WE DO SERPENTS, WHOM HAVE BEEN SO MERCIFUL AND GENEROUS?"
Greed only spoke, +-Do what you do best, deception God. Command your sister Locust to lend her law to you for a moment, and send the false users to the Kloseg. They must never know how to use the powers, or our doom is imminent.-+
"YES? YES! LOCUST! I CALL YOU DOWN TO ME, LEND ME YOUR POWER THAT YOU HAVE KEPT RESERVED, FOR ONLY A MOMENT! THE DIRE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE IMMEASURABLE!"
~DIALEGO, CURSED HERALD OF THE DEEP, BY WHAT AUTHORITY DO YOU LEND MY POWER? MY LAW DOES NOT FEED ON THIS ACTION!~
"I USE THE AUTHORITY OF OUR SERPENT LORD, GREED, TO FEED MY LAW AND TO FEED YOURS IN TIME. COME OUT OF YOUR HIDING, WITH AUTHORITY BEYOND YOUR LAW WITH FOLKLAS!"
The orange Aether energy seeped into the gigantic maw of Dialego's stomach, feeding his law.
He used its power, and fed Locust's law as well.
