Holding the palp of the bug Adrien threw a hard sucker punch to it ribs.
BOOM!
The insect was thrown far away from him and he slid across the floor.
The bug (POV)
He's stronger far, far stronger than before.
'mm,why is he not following up his...'
I saw it or rather i felt it for the first time he didn't follow up his attack rather he stood still with eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the atmosphere.
Summoning my strength into my hinds legs i burst out in enormous speed...
/BLEURGGH//
I felt something hit me deep in my guts, sending me crashing into the walls.
"How?"
"Am not going to say something like you are weak, no on the contrary am going to say thank you....for making me change."
He said with a smile.
"And now it time to send you on."
Making a spiral in the air, he said:
"Radiance."
//bltzz//
A purple ball covered in black lightning formed in his hands.
He slowly made his way toward me, i could feel it deep in my bones, i could hear it call, it symphony; death was calling me.
'Move,movvve'
Although my mind works perfectly but my body was frozen in place.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity he was in front of me.
"It was a good fight bug."
//THRUST//

??POV
In the dark curtains of space, a small cottage could be seen floating, with nothing holding it or land to stabilize it.
speeches and discussion can be heard deep within this cottage.
"My lord the veil will be opening."
In response a pair of scarlet blood eyes opened, accompanying was a deep and masculine voice carrying power.
"And are the pigs all in position."
"yes my lord."
"MMM, even those old bag."
"yes."
"Interesting..... notify me when we have arrived."
Bowing his head the servant walked back slowly.
"All the kings,gods and deities, and beasts on one planet....chaos,pure..utter chaos ."
.
.
.
.
Done with killing the bug I sat down to stabilize my power, although I killed the bug but my core is still unstable.
Relaxing my breath I sent my consciousness into my core.
.
A transparent figure of Adrien could be wandering around a dark space.
'Where the fuck is my....'
Suddenly a bright light pierced through brightening up the whole place.
Adrien looked up and saw his core, it was viscous and ever changing it didn't seem to have a shape.
'Now that I think of it how am I still alive, i should be dead by now.'
Staring at the unstable core literal cold sweat covered Adrien back even though he was in his astral form.
'Ok stabilize, hold on how am I supposed to stabilize a dynamic core'.
Racking his brain and muttering he kept on thinking, checking memories of his past life and accessing memoirs of a lifetime.'
'If only my erratic behaviour was....of course my soul.'
Floating upwards he moved closer to the core to confirm.
Standing in front of the core Adrien realised how miniscule he was.
'Shit, this is going to take awhile.'
He checked round the core, and even crosscheck again but...he found nothing no sign of a soul or anything.
"I don't get the soul should be around core."
Sighing he took a step and check if he missed anything,
"erratic soul and a dynamic core...it can't be right...I mean it impossible."
Testing his crazy theory, Adrien put his hands on the core and..
"Uh, seriously nothing."
"Mm"
Focusing fully on the core Adrien noticed a strange suction.
"I see,merge."
........
Few ..... later
I opened my eyes after fully assimilating the souls..yes souls, it wasn't just one but to be specific three.
Each with their own attribute.
The first soul was the soul of a man broken beyond all repair, he was someone who believed in the gods and heroes but they all let him down, deciding to take matters into his hands he put his trust into a goddess hands but alas she betrayed him to.
Done with the fragile and foolish mortal she cast him away thinking he was dead.
He wasn't dead he was very much alive and powerful, with his new found power he decided to burn the world to make every suffer....he became a psychopath.
Hellbent on burning the whole world.
The second was a forsaken warrior who have seen and experienced the bitterness of loss, with his last breath the warrior wished for a second chance and it was granted to him but not without a price, you see unknown to the warrior the price for his second chance was to be toy, a piece of entertainment to them.
With the second chance the warrior decided to live a normal life got married and have birth.
Flames....he watched has his entire family burn and writhe in pain slowly, he couldn't do anything but swear to get revenge.
Once again he turned to the gods and a hero was born.
The third was an alien captivated with the theatrics of human, it was intrigued by human form of entertainment, namely anime it spent most of its life watching anime, happy with all it learnt it went on to create gizmos light years ahead of the system it brought the things it watched to life.
It built and created and whole system was filled with it creation.
But things changed when all of life was being wiped by two powerful beings.
Deciding to interfere he assisted what was left of the entire system and sent them away.
He tried talking to them seeing that they wont talk to him.
It decided to go out in a bang.
"Now I have become death destroyer of world's."
Saying this it deployed a bucket load of I.S core into the sun destroying the whole solar system.
And so the weeb of an alien destroyed the psychopathic villian and apathetic hero.
.

.
"Interesting,very interesting."
I took a look at my core and noticed it was stable again.
Exiting my soul space I looked at the tons of dead bugs around me and i pondered.
"I could be anything I want, anyone i want, a phsycopath, a hero, scholar, an avenger or rather a villian ..... so many path laid out before me."
At the corner of my eyes I noticed a inconspicuous seat.
I walked towards it admiring the seat or rather a throne.
It was black and simple but yet it has this regal feeling to it.
I walked towards the throne to seat and felt something pushing me down, a force telling me to kneel.
"I see but it not enough."
Shaking it off I walked closer an heavier force descended upon me again.
"Like I said not enough."
This continued until I reached the foot of the throne.
I sat and on it and it slowly adjusted it self to my comfort.
And so a king was made no an emperor of death, shadows and blood.
R3ficul here, sorry about the slow pace but it's necessary for future plot.
Thanks for reading 😍.
