The moonlight shone brightly upon the earth, coupled with the ceaseless hallows of the wind made for an eerie atmosphere which suited the grim scene that had unfolded. The green and black soil had been marred with deep purplish stains, the residual marks of the hellhounds spilled. The formerly ferocious bunch were now reduced to heaps of flesh and bone that were strewn about the field within gruesome pools of their own innards.

At the center of it all stood Zephyr, his usually calm demeanor now replaced with a melancholic expression. It was evident that he didn't particularly enjoy or relish killing in the sense a serial murderer would, but he also knew that it was a necessary step that had to be done in order for him to achieve his goals. Then one could only help but wonder why? Why did he have that depressing expression, what could be going through his mind at a time like this?

*Sigh*

"I just have to keep moving forward, I have to survive." He articulated.

His clothes which he hadn't changed since he from within the Divine Training Room were now worn, tattered and dampened with blood; he obviously needed a clean shower, not to mention that he's also feeling particularly thirsty at the moment. Undeniably though in order for him to take care of all these needs one thing was required, clean water.

The problem was that there was none of that within the beast planes. The only viable options available were pools of corrupted ooze, definitely not up to the human standard of clean.

"Sheesh, how am I gonna get clean now?" Zephyr pondered on his predicament before deciding to open his profile.

"Perfect, I have exactly what I need to make clean water."

"Activate the Hand of God."

[Hand of God Active]

I raised my arm up above and in an astonishing mastery over the skill all the bog water rose up into the air, gathering together into a massive sphere. I viewed the murky water I had amassed and it was undoubtedly unclean, even if I had removed all physical impurities the issue of microbes was still present.

"Activate Void Blast"

[Void Blast Active]

So with my other hand I charged up a void blast. The skill surged to life for the first time and undoubtedly it was hard to control, I couldn't figure out the intricate workings of the technique. It took up QI to use but efficiently using it was a whole other matter. The first one I conjured up was unstable, it couldn't even be considered circular in shape, and instead it was more akin to a raging fire. It hovered there over my arm constantly trying to escape my grasp.
