Chapter 289 288. A Stronger Being.

TAK-TAK

Eunomia was stupefied when she felt an extremely familiar energy from the being that appeared inside her domain as if it were his own; the energy belonged to none other than Eshwar, her papa's.

"Papa?" Eunomia mumbled out, involuntarily. The colour of the being's soul was the same as Eshwar's, but something about the being was different from Eshwar; no, everything about the being was different than Eshwar's. The more she continued to look at the indescribable being in front of her, the more ominous the being felt, and the most shocking part of the being was that no matter how hard Eunomia tried, she couldn't see through him.

The being's face was covered in some kind of ever-scribbling mask that had two white scribbled circles as eyes, and nothing was there on the being's face except for those. He had pitch-black, abyss-like hair that seemed to be devouring light, and his skin was pale. He wore a pitch-black shirt, with the top three buttons unbuttoned and folded sleeves, and pitch-black ankle-length trousers and pitch-black loafers; they could be seen as normal if not for the shadow-like smoke rising from them; with every step the being took, the pure white space darkened slightly.

[Who are you?" Eunomia asked, and both hers and the system's voices resounded in the pure white space; she glared at the being in front of her, seething in rage.

"Nothing has even started yet; he is already dead?" But the being completely ignored her and appeared behind her, gazing at the screen Eunomia was looking at Eshwar from. Only then did Eunomia notice some kind of blackening on the being's nape; she then completely observed the being and noticed that his wrists, ankles, and neck had the same blackening mark, but before she could analyse them even further, without her even noticing, the being that stood in front of the screen disappeared completely.

Shuddering, "Universal Gaze!" She activated her skill and scanned the entire universe to find the being's existence, but she felt nothing; it was as if the being didn't even exist in the first place.

"You shouldn't look into everything, my daughter." The being's voice sounded in front of the screen again. Eunomia shuddered in fear when she felt the being's existence come into existence.

"Who are...." Eunomia asked again but was cut off before she could even complete her question completely.

"What.... I give him?" The being mumbled in a whisper, which Eunomia couldn't hear. By this time, she wasn't even surprised as she contemplated how such a being, a being stronger than her, existed. No one except Eunomia could ever enter the domain she created, and that too without her noticing; that wasn't just impossible!

And she wasn't exaggerating when she thought that, if she removed all of her useless emotions then she will literally become a true God, but she kept her emotions only because her papa, created her with emotions, that was it, and did she have the power to remove her emotions? Yes, she certainly did.

Everything happening in one's domain is felt by its creator, so what was happening right in front of her was something that's supposed to be impossible. There was only one theory that she could conclude with all the variables in front of her, and it was the fact that the being in front of her was stronger than her, a lot stronger than her.

The being's head abruptly snapped towards Eunomia, and she felt a chill run down to her very core, but that wasn't all; she felt some kind of melancholic emotion rise up from the depths of her very existence when she looked at the being's gaze that was looking at her.

"What more should I give him?" The being mumbled, asking Eunomia a question that seemed like one for which he was in very desperate need of an answer.

"I gave him everything that I was "allowed" to; I even gave him my strongest attributes, but he failed, every time, EVERY GODDAMN TIME!!" The being roared, and even though his voice was low but loud enough for only Eunomia to hear, it was powerful. So powerful that she could feel everything in existence tremble at each and every word that came out of the being's mouthless mouth.

But by the next instance, everything had calmed down, as if the earlier outburst hadn't even happened.

"!!!!" Suddenly, Eunomia saw a bright, white, scribbled, ominous smile creep up on the being's masked face, which made her shudder in fear.

"Haa...." He sighed, and the smile on his face completely disappeared as he glanced back at the screen, where Eshwar was seen slumped on the ground, dead.

"How many abilities did I give him? How many more should I give him? Why does he not use everything? Should I just take away everything? But if I did that, then he would be too weak to fight against "them" and too weak to protect...." The being mumbled with a sigh.

"Well, I help him one last time since he did free me from all the shackles...." The being mumbled as he massaged his neck and wrists. While he was mumbling something on his own, Eunomia was drowning in her own thoughts. She was extremely confused by what was happening, and she felt a lot of familiarity with the being, much more than what she felt with Eshwar, but no matter how much she racked her brain, she could figure out why and how she was familiar with such a dangerous figure, but whenever she glanced at the being's broad back, she felt strangely comfortable as if she were under a father's protection, and while she was dazed as if waking her up from her stupor,

"Pause." The being murmured. And by the next instance Eunomia looked around as if something was amiss, since her space was exactly the same as it was when she had gone to erase Anubis's existence, she didn't mind to much about her instincts that screamed that something was amiss, since now wasn't the time for it. She ignored everything and zoomed towards a certain space and with but a thought of hers, a screen that displayed Eshwar's current situation appeared in front of her, and something in Eunomia shuddered when she saw Eshwar's head getting slammed in between the demoness's hands.

From then on, everything slowed down for Eunomia as she stared at Eshwar's body slowly slump down on the ground before he lost consciousness. But before Eunomia took some drastic measures, Eshwar's lips twitched, and

"Let me borrow this for a while."
