CHAPTER:7 [Chronos Possession]
The Celestial turned around to look for his sword. He walked a little and found it on the ground.
<9>
The Celestial picked up his weapon, examined it, then looked at Kai's lifeless body.
<8>
The Celestial walked toward Kai's body and punched down on his face.
<7>
The Celestial took his sword and pushed it into Kai's throat.
<6>
The Celestial checked his body one last time.
<5>
The Celestial walked away from Kai's body.
<4>
Took out his sword again and licked it.
<3>
The Celestial found a rock nearby.
<2>
The Celestial began to sit with the intention of polishing the sword.
<1>
The Celestial's eyes widened as the Void shuddered in fear. Suddenly Kai's body started floating, wrapped in glowing silver lines.
Baaanggg!
Kai's hair turned foggy white and his pupils became pure white. The being that descended into Kai's body spoke in a domineering whisper that echoed throughout the endless Void.
"Why have I descended into this body?"
His voice shook the very fabric of the Void. He looked around at the darkness and saw blood-red eyes glowing within it.
He looked straight at the Celestial and said,
"Are you the reason why I have descended?"
The Celestial, already beyond repair and driven purely by maddened instinct, lunged at Chronos with even greater speed than when he had fought Kai. Unfortunately for him, Chronos conjured a massive hand made of pure energy, held the Celestial's head between two massive fingers, and lifted him into the air.
Chronos looked into those red eyes through his own glowing white ones and tilted his head.
"I guess you were the reason why I descended into him prematurely. Look at his state — his body is collapsing now."
The Celestial squirmed and resisted with everything he had, but he could never escape Chronos's grip. Slowly and painfully, Chronos crushed his head.
Fsssh… fsssh… plop… plop… crunch… crchhh… tuck…
His blood exploded across Kai's face and flowed down, forming a dark puddle on the ground. His blood-red eyes popped out and bounced like balls. His brain was squeezed out through his nose from the immense pressure, and his head was crushed like cardboard under a hydraulic press.
Chronos looked around, clearly searching for another opponent, but sadly there was none. He spoke with a deeply disappointed tone.
"Now that was pathetic. I'm really disappointed in you."
He then proceeded to fix Kai's heart and disappeared as if he had never existed. Kai's body hit the ground with a heavy thud.
Thud.
........
After a long while, Kai woke up, his body lying miserably on the ground. He asked in a broken voice,
"N… Nia… wh-what happened… cough cough…"
Kai could barely speak properly; the internal damage was still devastating.
"But didn't Chro… nos d… ie?"
Kai asked with his ragged voice,
"Then… what's my situation?"
Tears came flooding from his eyes as his body ached and the memory of his heart being pierced still burned.
"I don't… want to do this… anymore…"
He was just a 10-year-old soul trapped in an 18-year-old broken body.
Nia consoled him, but he truly didn't want to continue anymore.
But he still didn't calm down. So Nia took control and used her words to channel all that grief into pure, burning rage.
Kai's tears stopped instantly as the fire of revenge ignited in his eyes. He quickly used his Shapeless Shield to mend his bones and struggled to stand up.
"I'll kill those fucking Celestials!"
Nia cheered him on as she controlled him and said with her robotic voice,
