Dropping today's update!
The moment I grasped the essence of Death and became a Vasto Lorde, my power and my very perspective on the world shifted. Information regarding my new strength flooded my mind—knowledge on how to grant an opponent a peaceful end or a slow, agonizing demise. Piece by piece, every detail concerning 'Death' was meticulously archived in my brain until I finally stopped the influx, imprinting the final concepts into my memory.
"Huuup!"
As I drew in a breath, the massive boulders scattered around me disintegrated into fine sand in an instant. This was one of my new abilities: Life Absorption. In this world, life is synonymous with spiritual power. Unless I actively regulate my breathing, I will continuously inflict fatal damage on everyone in my vicinity. The downside? This skill doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. If I don't use this only when I'm alone, everyone around me will die.
"So, my very existence is now synonymous with true death..."
All life withers just by my breathing; death spreads through my mere touch. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that all forms of demise now originate from me.
"Not bad at all."
Controlling this death-dealing aura was surprisingly simple. I just had to hold the intent 'not to kill.' Responding to that thought, my Reiatsu would fluctuate between a mundane pressure and a lethal shroud of death.
In a void-like space of unknown location, the image of Lucifer La El—newly ascended to the rank of Vasto Lorde—was being projected in mid-air. A young boy watched the scene with keen interest.
"Marvelous! An Aspect of Death that is Death itself!"
Two years ago, he had taken a mundane human soul and reincarnated it as a Hollow. Now, that boy had grown into a Vasto Lorde, the absolute pinnacle of the Hollow species. In a mere two years, this human had displayed a growth rate that defied all expectations, and now he possessed a power that could truly be called 'the strongest.' The boy was genuinely curious to see what this human would do next.
"Excellent! I should give him the reward I planned!"
He had already decided to grant the human a gift if he ever reached the level of Vasto Lorde. To do that, he first needed to summon him here.
Snap!
The boy—no, God—flicked his fingers. Just as when he had first reincarnated Lucifer La El, a white, black-hole-like portal manifested before him. Simultaneously, a dark vortex opened up right in front of Lucifer La El back in the desert.
"Come, O human-turned-Hollow."
Perhaps hearing God's voice, Lucifer La El slowly stepped into the black vortex. As his form vanished from the desert, he materialized instantly before the boy.
"Who are you?"
"I am God."
"You look different."
"Appearance is irrelevant to a god," the boy replied with a bright, innocent smile. Lucifer La El nodded in silent agreement.
"Now! The reason I've summoned you here is to grant you a reward for reaching the rank of Vasto Lorde. What is it you desire, traveler from humanity to Hollow-kind?"
The boy spread his arms wide, a confident grin on his face that suggested he could grant any request imaginable. Though Lucifer La El's thoughts were hidden behind his Hollow mask, it felt as though he was smiling as well.
