Chương 34: Illyana Rasputina
"D-do you really mean you can help me?"
The voice of Illyana cam from behind me. I turned my head somewhat quickly my eyes meeting hers as the creatures continued to wriggle in an attempt to escape.
'Bloody creatures...'
I created a baton of marble and smashed it up the back of their heads until they were unconscious. A small amount of blood leaked from their heads by the end.
"Yes, I have mental capabilities that allow me to root out invasions into the mind as well as heal past traumas. Of course healing traumas takes longer than the former..."
As soon as I had started to share my capabilities with her, her eyes shone like I was a lighthouse and she a ship in a storm. Her expression was really cute though as her face lit up like she was seeing fireworks for the first time.
"Illyana, be certain you want to do this. You don't know what it may bring up in her attempt to help you."
Tony spoke from behind me causing the ecstatic expression on her face to fade somewhat as the realism of the situation seemingly started to implement itself in her. She nodded slowly before looking down at the creatures who were currently sleeping soundly.
I felt as if I was the biggest asshole in the world with giving her this option as the pure hope she had shown me before began to make me feel nervous. What if I can't do it? What if I'm misleading her? I need to stop and tell her to lower her expectations.
"Illyana, I'm not promising anything, it may not even work."
Seemingly my face had given away my feeling somewhat as she smiled slightly towards me while looking towards Tony and Pepper. Conflicting expressions emerged on her face as she tried to come up with an answer for me.
"Look, I'll just see if I can find any controlling influence within your mind... That is all I was requesting from the start. Just so I know these assholes aren't trying to control you to do something against your will."
She nodded as she stepped closer to me.
"Please check for that at least... If you see anything else, please don't think less of me."
I frowned slightly at her words but soon switched it to a smile. My smile appeared to give her some more confidence as she stepped up to me quicker, a minute blush spreading through her cheeks. After a moment we were both very close to each other, my right hand stretching out to caress her hair until I moved it to her left temple.
{Psycheclairvoyant Liberatus}
My words echoed into the room with a dull magical thrum as I closed my eyes.
I appeared within a stark space with multiple white doors hanging above me, below me and around me. My eyes scanned each door, some emitted sounds of laughter and joy, some of anger and annoyance. As I swivelled my gaze I made notice of a door oddly shaped like a bathroom on a plane. From it I could here some subtle moans.
'F-focus Emelia, is there any brainwashing or magical charming?'
My eyes, although i didn't notice at the time, changed to a opalescent colour as I once again looked around in this ever changing and moving space. I saw mystical lines of thought connecting different doors in an intricate web of emotion and logic. I tried focusing deeper into the connection trying to spot any control. That was when I saw it. A mass of deep red and black swirling like black ooze in a mixer.
I shuddered mentally from the mere look I gave the mass of blackness. Surrounding it was a massive yellow barrier of psychic energy that had multiple connections to the pure white doors. I could sense happiness and love flowing from them as the connections flexed. I continued to gaze at this construct within her mind, that was until I started seeing flashes of a greyish black space where a girl stood being tortured and beaten.
The image flashed and she was older, there was numerous images of her friends and loved ones being torn asunder. Colossus being ripped into shreds, Logan being burned eternally, Professor Xavier being healed only to have his legs be disabled again. It was pure horror. The beings doing this were all blurry and held a strange control over the visions, as if they were torturing even me as I watched.
'What the fuck is that!?'
[Madness, pure and utter madness... They cannot affect you while I'm here but I do not suggest you try healing that until you become much more powerful. You do not want to experience that type of torture personally, like she has.]
I shuddered at my sister's words as my psychic energy slowly poured out over everything and began to erase any mind control and brainwashing. Minutes passed or what seemed like them as I simply looked at the mass of hatred and insanity within the mind of someone so pure on the outside. My psychic energy returned to me completing its job if there even was one.
'Sis, can I leave a rune with my Psychic Cleanse ability on the shield so that if it ever tries to escape it has to fight me and you?'
[You can, It would be a lot of pain for you if it ever happened though.]
'I'm going to do it.'
[Okay, you know what to do.]
I moved closer to the black mass, the images becoming more vivid and sustained as I got closer. Images of disgusting revolting acts of violence amongst other things. Beings of all sorts dying by the hands of Illyana, solar systems turning to dust, the eyes of a monstrous entity. As I got closer I felt a power growing within me as the images started to become less prominent and less vivid. Instead images started to be transmitted in the other direction, I saw them first hand.
Rivers of blood painted the horizon as the moon shined red with the blood of the innocent. Torturous moans of enemies cried out amongst the unending piles of limbs, gore, blood, tears, sweat, shit and piss. An entity lay upon the tallest of such piles their fangs gleaming in the moonlit night as the redish-yellow eyes of the said being turned towards my perspective and most likely the perspective of whatever else was watching.
"Hoh, looks like we have some fresh meat bags come to play with us, don't we mister skeleton."
She was holding the bloody skull of a human in front of her as she spoke. The surroundings darkened until the darkness started growing eyes and teeth and tentacles of crimson red gore. The moon changed colours, a bright yellow light shining down from the skies. As I looked up, all I saw was the eyeball of an eldritch horror.
"Approach, wretched spawn of darkness... Surrender to my grasp, and I shall revel in the twisted delight of 'playing' with you, my darling, accursed plaything!"
The surroundings went completely black as all that was visible was a giant red mouth and eyes that started to become larger and larger.
I then felt a barrier appear in front of me. In fear, I quickly started to write a rune using my mana and applied it to the yellow shield that I could now feel in front of me, desperately imbuing my psychic cleanse ability into it.
The mouth and eyes became so large they looked as if they could swallow galaxies and universes. I now noticed a being with multiple horns and a wispy body, shaking in place, its emotions completely fumbling and crumbling under the entities' gaze and actions.
"Feasting time, ant!"
The mouth moved towards us at an almost instantaneous speed as I instinctively severed the connection to Illyana, my brain completely burning in abject horror.
'NOOO get away!'
