Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

1091  Return

"What is going on?" Kytos asked, his voice void of the same old fury that had accompanied him and his siblings since the Separation. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"You're getting back to your senses. That's good," Michael commented in between two heavy breaths.

It had been a while since he felt this tired. In fact, since he acquired power rivaling Gods, Michael never felt like that. It was a first, but it didn't scare him.

On the contrary, Michael welcomed the exhaustion. The soreness spreading through his body. It showed Michael that he wasn't omnipotent and that a trace of mortality was still left within him.

"Back to my senses?" Primal Kytos glanced at Michael before his eyes drifted to the Calamity Dragon.

"I wanted to kill him! Why did it work?!" The ancient creature roared, turning around to sweep his tail across the Primal's face. Michael created an Imperial Barrier and snickered, "Help the others if you're bored."

The Calamity Dragon growled but obeyed. He traveled to the other Gods and helped them fight the remaining three Primal.

"How about you help Primal Gluvos? You must be confused but we have to end this battle soon. The seals won't last much longer and I don't think the weave can hold back much longer," Michael pointed out, his eyes trailing the leaks in the altered version of the Weave Seal. it was a powerful seal but would have shattered if not for the weave holding back as much as possible. Unfortunately, holding back was not an option anymore.

The amount of Essence, especially Origin Essence, forming in the Beginning stirred the weave. It forced the weave to press against the Weave Seal and attempt to breach the defenses.

"O…okay…" Kytos answered after gathering his thoughts.

The events of the past were deeply imprinted into his soul, but the Origin Essence wiped away the anger and frustration that had fueled him since the Separation. It cleared his head and helped him reminiscent everything he had to know. He recalled everything. His sacred duty as the Origin's Guardian, and how they had failed to protect the universe properly. The Void Call destroyed everything.

But most importantly…the Void Call destroyed them. It transformed the Primal into beings they were never supposed to be and pushed them further away from the Creation. They transformed into evil beings…beings working against the Creation. That was not what ought to be. It was never supposed to be like that.

Fortunately, not everyone had been consumed by the darkness of the Void Call. The Will had escaped.

It protected the Creation and everything it stood for.

The Will granted the Primal a second chance. Even if nobody else would grant them a second chance, the Will prepared everything necessary to rescue them. It worked with the Expanse and trusted the weave's loyalty, and…survived long enough to transfer the fiercely burning flame of justice to someone else.

Primal Kytos' memories were a mess. The Origin Essence churning through his body was the source of all trouble. It released the mess of negative emotions from Kytos into the surroundings, cleansing the Primal from all evil, while positive emotions and the memories of the time before the Separation entered his mind.

But there was more to it. The Will's memories could be found in Primal Kytos' mind as well. They had been transferred to Kytos through the expanse's pristine Essence and ensured Primal Kytos would know what the Will had achieved. How much the Will helped the Creation by not doing anything and what the remaining Primals had to do to protect the Origin Universe and its Creation.

Nothing.

That was all they had to do for the Creation to strive.

The Guardians had to watch over the Creation and protect it, but there was no need for them to intervene.

They weren't supposed to refrain the Gods from altering the weave with their Divinities, and it was also not within the norms of their sacred duty to force anything upon others. They should watch and enjoy the Creation while protecting the universe from harm.

At last, Primal Kytos understood that.

He understood everything.

Kytos took a deep breath and kicked the space underneath him. The Primal transformed into a flash, leaving Michael behind to appear beside Gluvos.

Primal Gluvos was about to attack Kytos when he sensed the Origin Essence within his brother and smiled.

"You are finally back?" Primal Gluvos asked Kytos, who snored.

"Shut up and get working!"

"I missed you too, brother!" Gluvos commented.

Michael raised an eyebrow and jumped into action, following the two Guardians.

He appeared next to them as they restrained their brother and infused enough pristine Essence with the Expanse Link to overwhelm the Primal.

The Guardians restrained their brother while channeling Origin Essence into his body, and Michael fortified the link by channeling more pristine Essence into him.

Simultaneously, he stabbed the Primal, draining the weave Essence as quickly as possible.

The first traces of Origin Essence formed quickly in the Primal's chest, and he screamed aloud, but neither Gluvos, Kytos, nor Michael paid attention to the screams.

They focused on their task ahead and forced the Primal back to the Origin and the Creation. This time, it didn't take long to overwhelm the Primal. With two Guardians by his side, Michael could focus on the Expanse Link and the drainage of weave Essence. The Guardians blocked the Primal and slowed him while also infusing Origin Essence into their brother. It came to no surprise when the third Primal regained his senses. The Guardians infused their Origin Essence with memories, their intentions, and reminiscence of their sacred duty, pushing the Primal over the edge long before they reacted.

The third Guardian returned to the Origin Universe, leaving behind three more to convert.

The suffering of the past and the damage inflicted by the Separation ceased. The Primal returned to their sacred duty and would soon watch over the Origin Universe and protect it.

Everything would be back to normal.
