Chapter 85 - Anima Saga

Quinn stared at the two powerhouses from deep in the ocean when all the clones of the abyssal claw stopped and some started talking to the Quinn.

Quinn kept charging his electricity while watching the two above when he saw visible anger on all the abyssal claws faces as if remembering something painful.

all of them focused their anger on queen furrum as they channeled pure darkness into their claws creating massive black mists like ash from a fire.

seeing the moment of anger taking the abyssal claws full attention poise to attack the exhausted queen when abruptly silver lightning charged with quantum energy emerged from the ocean striking randomly at many of the all black clones.

the exhausted queen watched as silver lightning erupted from the depths of the ocean and started chaining off the other clones leading to an echo of agony from all the abyssal claws screaming in sync.

all the abyssal claws clones started exploding into black Ash before fading away while original was hunched over in pain, but when he looked up he saw the queen holding silver lightning in her hands with a black gauntlet.

that was the last thing he saw when he felt another shocking blow to his stomach that tore open a in space and dragged him into another dimension.

when the abyssal claw opened his eyes again, he was above an ocean made of some short of black liquid.

''That Damm Rodent sent me into the water dimension with this monstrosity!''

the abyssal claw watched as the black ocean started growing eyes and fangs as tentacles covered in dismembered limbs and face reached out to grab him.

''NO! I Refuse to be EATEN by another of your kind I already have!'' his black body turned white as his white eyes turned black and he fired off pillars of light that burned the approaching tentacles while glaring down the closing cracked space as Quinn and furrum just watched. 

as he tried blitzing pass the tentacles with light speed only for a giant snake head to swallow him whole right before he made it back through the cracked space.

Quinn watched with obvious horror as he saw what was on the other side while the queen looked unbothered as she slowly flew back above the ocean as she stared at the following Quinn.

''we will talk about all this later just know... I will turn a blind to the released prisoners, but I need to know did you plan all this just to escape into the physical world?''

the small knight mech speedily keeping up with her speed by running atop the water looked down with a deep sadness

the red and blue clones looked at the last direction they felt their master disappear and in sync said ''lost authority holder returning to base for further instructions.''

the blue clone turned into pure water that seeped into the ground while leaving behind the corrupted parts behind while the red clone turned into pure flames and rocketed into the angel of light like a meteor before disappearing into the horizon.

cortex was watching everything from his drones and use the current information to send a message to the evacuated citizens outside a kingdom.

a small panic occurred at the sight of the drone but the guards although on edge ready to attack waited as a speaker opened up above it.

''Attention citizens all fighting has ended, and the enemy ran away but the kingdom is heavily damaged please send help as the current... helper is not medically certified to say the least.''

The drone's camera displayed a few holograms of the current kingdom where a bunch of grey's clones were helping injured citizens and searching through the wreck.

The guards started mobilizing and uniting as the citizens started cheering about the victorious news of victory.

grey on the other after no longer able to continuously recharge his energy reserves by eating the clones alive and now that his endless source of energy the toll of maintain countless clones and operating them all drained him so quickly that he was on the floor in pain as his energy was dwindling.

grey powered through the pain and quickly cut off his connection with all the clones that weren't immediately helping people which still left a heavy toll on his mind.

lily finally woke up from the strange trance she was in and gently picked the original grey and walked into the warehouse and sat down to read the soul book.

sky was finally waking and the first thing she saw was terra covered in leaves with a warm green glow on her hands healing her.

she turned her head and strangely saw a turtle operating a computer with at least twelve different screens.

but the strangest thing was the girl in the corner reading a glowing red book.

she looked kind of like lily but different her hair was a deep purple with light green tints that seemed to make her once cute brown skin look more seductive while her eyes were a memorizing purple with golden irises that seemingly glowed with slight hue.

''lily? is that you. what happened. what are you reading?'' sky asked confused as she the last thing she remembered was a bright light and a burning sensation until now.

lily glanced up from the glowing book and stared emptily at sky and terra like they were lower life forms. ''well, I evolved thanks to this book after you lost to that flaming knight and this book holds all kinds of interesting information, but it doesn't yet have a name.''

sky and terra were weirded out by lilies new form, but sky pressed on ''what happened exactly and what's in that book.''

lily let out a deep sigh as she started petting greys unconscious head gently. ''Well, I meet a powerful lady who gave me the power to change fate, while this book on the other hand was made by two powerful crafters to preserve their knowledge after there were corrupted by the abyss, but it does so much more!'' lily gave a slight smirk as if proud of some achievement.

''chapter zero is about its creators and their entire life and all their creation with instructions on how they made them while chapter one seems to be about me and my summons and our entire lives... Adam and crystal seemed to live dull lives while grey here has lived quite the hectic life. according to this it seems like I evolved into a fate-stealer elf an anomaly among anomalies that able to power up by absorbing the fates of others.'' she never looked so proud of it

''this book even says after I ate the fate of that green clone, I gained a deeper connection to nature and unlocked a fourth slot for a summoning contract. any ideas on a name for it?'' lily asked while staring at the two when sky and terra had a sudden realization.

this little girl reached tier four by stealing someone else's power skipping all the hard work others put in by taking theirs breaking all rules they knew of

grey's ears perked up as he groggily lifted his head as if he was suffering from a massive hangover ''how about you call it the anima saga since it holds the sagas of it holder and those connected to them.''

''hmm I like it!'' lily stated as a matter factually as they all saw the book glow brightly as the title branded itself onto it reading Anima Saga.

grey looked up from lily's lap and stared at her since it tells you about your current evolution what does it say about me and the others?"

she smiled gently ''well Adam seems to be becoming a corpse lord with his current path while crystal seems to be on the opposite she absorbed the golden infection from her earlier battle gaining two traits one to absorb materials and another to forge weapons becoming a war golem.''

''what about me?" grey asked curiously.

lily just giggled while petting him calmly ''well my little bundle of chaos, you have evolved into a true chaos chimera.'' 

seeing the confused look on his face she continued ''It seems like you were touched by chaos upon birth which is what kept you alive despite fate trying to kill you. but when you became a chimera by bonding with a high chimeras blood your body not only evolved but gained a deeper connection with chaos tying your very lifeforce to it hence your red aura when you go berserk. but after gaining a few more forms and the lungs from creature beyond our planet whose origin came from chaos gave you a true connection to it making you chaos chimera.''

grey finally understood why he felt such a strong urge to eat that lady's lungs.

''So, tell my little rabbit was that lump of flesh worth the beating I gave you?''

greys entire body shivered in pure terror as he jumped away from lily and stood poised for battle while his entire body started shaking when he recalled the pure beating he had earned.

lily stood up and stared at the glaring queen whilst still holding the soul book I read, he healed the girl he injured and helped your citizens I see no harm in letting slide since you already beat him.'' lily said while looking the queen dead in her eyes not backing down.

''we can look past that for now but what I want to know is what exactly are you doing here.''

lily took a deep breath before she continued ''we were here to warn you about the abyssal claws plans to go after powerful irregulars and anomalies to free the titan of destruction to destroy the planet. you were one of... I think six that were on the list, but it seems we were too late and anyone who doesn't join him is attacked and cloned like you saw.''

lily let that sink in before she continued ''we need to know if you're going to join them or us in stopping them we already got two on board. but I have a third option.''

''we just need you to stay out of it and ask for help if they come after you again to keep you from being cloned.'' lily said with false confidence.

queen thought for a few long moments ''I am definitely not joining your crusade, but I also won't join them in destroying the world I live on. who has joined your crusade exactly that knowledge might sway my mind.''

''oh, you know just Brian veils and Steve origins the irregular brothers.'' lily said as if that was definitely a confirmation.

''yeah, no dice I'm not working with that muscle for brains idiot and the ego maniac he calls a brother.''

lily looked like she was shocked while the queen's anger did not fade away ''Now that you have completed your mission leave my kingdom, we can take care of ourselves without your help. NOW GO!''
