Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion

A portal opened to the Abyss as demons flocked in. This war was glorious to them.

At the Third Abyss...

Linkir and Sword Demon arrived at a familiar place once again. "I can never get used to this view," Sword Demon commented, observing the demons around, the distant Aerons, and the stars embedded in the ground.

"Hm... we've talked a lot, and I got to know you. You're an interesting person," Linkir replied with a slight smile.

"Likewise... But you mentioned you wanted to kill someone. Who is it?" Sword Demon asked as he and Linkir walked away from the portal.

"...Well, the person is strong, destroyed my world, tortured me... all kinds," Linkir murmured.

"Oh, I see. So how did you meet Void?" Sword Demon asked.

"Guess who did it all," Linkir said and fell silent.

"Hmm, I see... she wants to kill Void," Sword Demon thought.

"So, you mentioned an ancient clan," Linkir said.

"Oh, that... the Seides. I don't know where they are now, but when I reach Rank 3, I'll search the cosmos to find them and eliminate them," Sword Demon replied.

"Do you feel anything for your parents?" Linkir asked with a frown.

"Do you?" Sword Demon asked in return.

"Even though we're Aerons, we feel more than primordial demons. Have you seen Void in action?" Linkir asked.

"I don't think so... I mean, I just became his subordinate," Sword Demon said.

"Just know this... he's emotionless, destroys everything, especially if he finds out you have an emotional bond with someone," Linkir sighed.

"Wait... but why would he do that?" Sword Demon asked, surprised.

"I asked once, and he explained it like this: if you have an enemy and they know about someone you're tied to... simple, they use that person against you," Linkir explained with a smile.

"What if that person is as strong as me or even stronger?" Sword Demon asked, confused.

"What if they're not?" Linkir replied. Sword Demon grew quiet, thinking about what Linkir said.

"Listen... Void specifically spoke about emotional bonds, family bonds, friend bonds, and especially lover bonds weighing you down. Instead of getting stronger quickly, you think of them and try to find ways to strengthen them too," Linkir said.

"Does he have past trauma? Why is he like this?" Sword Demon asked, puzzled.

"Well, he does... He was a young boy—he still is, Sword Demon. His parents were eliminated during the process of their race ascending and becoming a new being," Linkir said.

"So that's it...?" Sword Demon said with a smile.

"No... I don't know if he'll feel anything if he sees them again. I heard you can bring people back to life at a certain Rank, meaning people who passed away in the past," Linkir said.

"So cold..." Sword Demon muttered.

"Yes, he is," Linkir replied, her face twitching as she remembered all the things Void had done to her.

"What about us... he feels something for us, right?" Sword Demon asked.

"Us... ha! Why do you think I want to eliminate him so badly? He doesn't. Look at how he dealt with Anya. He disposes of anyone or anything if they become worthless to him. The only thing he cares about is strength and if a being has value," Linkir replied.

"Simply put... don't become worthless," Linkir added, and Sword Demon fell silent.

"Your dragon..." Linkir asked.

"Aah, yeah... Void has seen it. I guess he won't do anything?" Sword Demon asked.

"Remember what I said. But Void is unpredictable... I think he's actually left us to do what we want. All he wants is to see our worth... after all, he can create an Aeron anytime," Linkir said, as the small dragon curled around Sword Demon's neck, shivering in fear.

In a Different Realm...

"System, what am I doing?" Void asked, looking at the colorful space around him. He saw different colored threads connected to various consciousnesses.

(Host, further ahead is a strange place... where a huge consciousness is formed. That's where creatures' imaginations reside... that's where you'll go to draw from a human imagination.)

"Oh, I see... Let's try it then," Void said, following the golden thread connected to a large consciousness.

"How strong is this being?" Void wondered with a smile.

Finally reaching the end, Void saw its size, seemingly stretching into infinity.

(Host, be careful not to get lost in someone else's imagination, or you'll be lost forever.)n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Noted," Void replied, choosing a random imagination. Memories flooded his mind as he saw the beings within.

"My clone... what did you do?" Void asked with a grin.

(It's time.)

Void heard this and felt himself being pulled back at an impossible speed.

At the Fourth Abyss...

A human body awakened as Void returned to his form.

"Damn... first was soul-splitting to make a clone, then going to the consciousness world to create a being," Void thought, looking at the human body in front of him.

"Now, I can't believe this is from the JJK world... interesting... Infinity, Gojo," Void said with a smile.

Void raised his hand, and an invisible force at his palm entered the body.

Immediately, a transformation took place as white hair appeared, the structure changed, and the body morphed into Gojo's form. Void's human face came to life, eyes wide open.

"There's a loop here... this being only has Gojo's memory... it's a different being entirely," Void mused with amusement.

"Well," Void clapped his hands, "let's give you a new name, then," he grinned.

"Now I'm stuck again... first my sword, now this human... when will I think of a name for them?" Void thought.

"Know this... I am your creator. You are my creation. For now, live in the eastern region," Void said, waving his hand as the being disappeared.

************

"Oh... my subordinates are back... I should call them here... sigh... is this the last time I can use this feature, System?" Void asked with a frown.

(No, but it takes time to recharge, as recalling subordinates requires a large amount of energy. Host can eliminate more beings to speed up the recharge.)

"Ha... I like that," Void said with a grin.
