Chapter 171: The Eternal Arbiter of Truth – Tainted?
Vexar looked at her with a deadpan expression.
“Me die?” He asked in all seriousness. “Be serious Enya, how can I possibly die?”
Hearing this Enya felt a bit embarrassed, but still her words were not for any reason.
“Yes, I know…” She said before she continued. “However, you have been missing for 18 Cycles… normally I would be able to see your soul in that little branch timeline… but it had been blank.”
Hearing this Vexar’s heart skipped a beat.
“That should be impossible…” He said before he continued. “That branch is completely untouchable, not even I have authority to control what happens. So, how could it just go blank if I’m still here?”
“I’m not sure Vex.” Enya said shaking her head. “Not just that… even Kent has been missing for over eleven cycles.”
“What?!” Vexar exclaimed as his voice resounded all over.
“What did that fool do?”
Enya sighed before she changed the subject. As the Eternal Arbiter of Truth, she truly hated moments when she didn’t have answers.
“How long has it been since you’ve returned?” She said as she began to examine his existence.
“Not long, only about a decade.” He said as he noticed the shift in facial features of Enya. He arched a brow and spoke.
“What’s wrong?”
“You… you’ve been tainted?” Enya asked in disbelief.
“What the hell are you speaking about Enya?”
“That title Vex… those damned Records have given you a title!” She exclaimed in disgust.
Hearing this Vex frowned even more as he took a look at his status seeing his title.
{Chronarch of Eternal Return}
Seeing his look of confusion Enya explained as her eyes began to glow with a purple hue. She then spoke as her aura of Peak Cosmic Overlord burst forth.
|Absolute Precept of Truth (Stage 7) – Final Verdict of Eternal Truth|
Hearing this Vexar’s eyes widened.
“Enya! What the hell is going on?!” He roared as he watched her cast her strongest ability. The entire domain was bathed in a purple light as she stared at Vexar. She wasn’t looking at him… but like in him, she was staring at the title scarred onto his very existence.
As she looked, she frowned in disgust as the aura of something could be seen… It was something not even she could identify but she knew it was something not of this reality.
She then pointed her fingers and shot a beam of purple light into Vexar as she internally declared his title as a falsehood. The moment this happened the title vanished… her precept then vanished.
The moment it did she paled instantly as her third eye closed.
Vexar couldn’t believe this nonsense as he felt something being stripped away from him. That wasn’t even the big thing… it was that Enya just used an ability that was a onetime use per Cosmic Cycle…
She frowned looking at him and then spoke.
“Have you forgotten everything?!” She said before continuing not giving him a chance to speak. “At which point in your lives have you ever been ’gifted’ power? Especially from some got damned record?!”
Hearing this it was as if a thunderbolt went off in the mind of Vexar. As he remembered his regressions his eyes widened. In no regression did anything remotely close to the Records of Eternity exist.
“W-what… what’s going on?” He muttered as he heard her voice again.
“Some damned Chronarch of Eternal Return” She spat as she shook her head. “From the very moment we stepped on the path of power, we knew one cold fact that would never change… All power is attained through our own hands!”
“You’re no Chronarch… you’re VEXAR, THE ETERNAL REAPER!”
The moment he heard those words it was as if blindfolds were taken off his eyes. It wasn’t a massive change… it was subtle very subtle, but he could feel the difference.
Enya smiled as she returned to the ethereal figure she was.
“I’m not sure what it is… but those titles began appearing in the 21st Cycle. The same point I lost track of both you and Kent.” She said with another sigh.
“I’ve watched closely to beings who have those titles and yet I haven’t met anyone who’d lived past three Cosmic Cycles with one. The records are not giving… they are assimilating.”
Vexar felt a headache coming on. Before he got lost in the possibilities that lie in front of them, he wanted to focus the reason he came here.
He exhaled and spoke. “Truly we have some dire possibilities in front of us… but before that can you help me find this kid?”
After asking he showed Enya the bounty placed on Ash. Seeing the figure on the projection Enya simply blinked once then twice, on the second one her third eye crept open a bit before shutting again.
“Ash Originat… what an interesting person… As a person sitting at the known Peak of Power, and being the holder of the All-Seeing Eyes, she could see whatever she pleased…
“A 60-Year-Old, Peak Stellar Sovereign…” She said with an arched brow. She then began to pinpoint his location which took but a moment.
“Hm… he’s in a Galaxy called Erebus about 87 trillion Light years from Venia.”
Hearing this Vexar was surprised.
“60 Years Old? That’s impressive to say the least.” As he began to stand up, he asked one last question.
“Did you gather anything else?”
“Quite a bit…” She said before she told everything she could see. From him being a Primavus, a race neither of them knew of, his current look, and even that he too had titles. It was odd that she couldn’t see too in depth into his existence, but it was enough for Enya.
Vexar nodded and spoke before he left.
“Thanks Enya… After claiming this bounty, I will return then we can tackle this looming problem.”
After that Enya exchanged goodbyes before he shattered a token reappearing on Ebon.
