573: Start Over

Start Over

Yana felt like she was on the verge of death. She knew her body had liquefied and was now nothing but slush on the ground. She never expected that the fifth stance would be this powerful to the point that her entire being had to be rebuilt. But she could get a sense that her body was not really fully able to comprehend what had happened and how to go about fixing itself. She was in a dilemma. She knew if she stayed as she was, she would end up dying.  1

She wondered what was the point of being this so called goddess of the beginning if she was going to die right after becoming it. When her thoughts wandered to this point, an idea came to mind. 'What if my body needs to start over. I need to go back to the beginning...'

As this idea consumed Yana's thought process, her body began to react. Slowly the liquid began to gather and compress, making the puddle of liquid that was once her smaller and smaller until it was the size of a pea. 

Lord Ein held his granddaughter and watched on in shock. He had never seen such a thing in his entire life. The pea that formed turned completely black, and the gravity waves it was producing was so powerful that Lord Ein had found himself having troubles standing firm from where he was making him have to retreat even further. Plants and trees were also tilting towards Yana's position.

*Boom!*

A massive explosion came from where Yana was completely disintegrating the entire surrounding area for kilometers. It was so powerful that space and time itself seemed to have been blasted away, and a whole new dimension was born. The black pea that was once Yana began to pulsate. With each pulse, the air shook, and the pea grew. It continued to grow and grow until finally, it took the shape of a young girl. The girl was in the fetal position as her body aged the features that Yana once had returned. 

Her body floated in the air motionless. The waves of gravity pulsated out of her, but as time passed, they began to slow. The dimensional disturbance around Yana slowly disappeared as well. Yana's eyes fluttered before opening and looking around. When she realized she was still alive, a bright smile formed on her face. She looked up at the blue sky and let out a laugh. "Hahahaha! I'm alive!"

Yana lay mid air with her arms and legs sprawled out, looking up at the sky. A black dress made of gravity flowed around her. It was like a liquid but not. Yana finally rose to her feet and stood up mid air. The gravity around her bending as if she was not even in the same dimension as them. In truth, she was not. You could say she was there but not at the same time. She was in the past and the present.

The area finally became normal again as Yana floated over the massive crater in the ground and flew over towards  Lord Ein and Gia. 

"Yana?" Lord Ein's lips and body trembled in fear. He felt like he was truly standing in front of a god now. The pressure coming off Yana made it hard for him to breathe or even lift his head. 

"Grandpa..." Yana saw how frightened Lord Ein was, causing her to pout slightly. 

"Stay… Stay away!" Lord Ein yelled in a trembling voice. His whole body felt like it was going to be smashed. Even Gia, who was knocked out, gave a groan of pain.

Yana gazed at the old man and Gia warmly before turning and reluctantly flying away. She only left two words: "I'm sorry..." 

Yana had already disappeared when Lord Ein came to his senses and realized how he acted just now. "I must apologize to her. I didn't mean it like that..."

Yana's eyes were slightly watery, but she held back her tears. She flew straight to the mountain where the war god trials were. She wanted to at least keep her promise to Lord Ein. She would make sure to become the war goddess and take control of this realm.

A wisp of cold air passed through the air inside the ancient library that Angelica's body was in. Camlia and Tain looked over at Angelica, who suddenly stood up and stretched her limbs. "Sorry, it took a while to straighten the realm of ghosts out."

"That's fine. It seems you were successful." Tian looked at the ghostly crown on Angelica's head that looked slightly off with her halo that was hanging on her horn.

"Mm… It was easier than I had thought. As for the Goddess of Life. This battle should be fairly easy." Angelica said in confidence. She knew if the goddess of life had actually reached true godhood, she would be hard to fight but now, with her current strength, unless she was truly on the level of a true god, she was nothing more than a mortal in her eyes.

"You mean to say you have mastered the full use of the soul?" Camlia asked in surprise. She had only heard of one person who was able to do such a thing.

"Mmm… It was not so hard. After all, every soul will resonate with my power." Her voice flowed out softly, but both Tian and Camlia felt their souls shake. They both looked up at Angelica in shock before blooming smiles filled their faces.

"So it is finally time." Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the ancient library's ceiling and closed his eyes. Both Camlia and Angelica looked at him, wondering what was going on, but soon an old man appeared by his side.

"So you three are ready?" The old man asked.

"Yes, take us to the goddess of life," Angelica answered.

"Good... This is perfect timing. Your mother is undergoing her evolution which I can help interfere with and guide her to become the goddess of life and death..."
