Humanity's new weapon: part II

[07:20 AM, 10/14/317 D]

[D.4 M.S.O Special Hospital of the capital Iskander]

[H.14 Taisei Blue]

Shackles on my wrists and ankles, all my abilities as a resonant were being nullified by them, in a corner of a lushly white room, with only a few guards and a man wearing elegant and expensive clothes in front of me, glaring with hatred and disappointment.

"(I seem to see that kind of expression directed at me a lot lately)"

With my abilities completely sealed and no reason to try, I throw away all thoughts of escape and smile bitterly.

---¿? — *Hmph*. And to think that I entrusted my daughter to a trash like you.

The elegant man who looked at me with absolute contempt was none other than Kaki's father, Murasame Airi, leader of the kingdom's detective unit.

"Sir, you sent for me. How can I help you?"

A man with a white coat, excellently groomed hair, and glasses, was offering a bow to the elderly Murasame. When revealing his face, you can see that he is wearing a mechanical mask, which apparently works like his "Gear."

---Murasame Airi— Professor, you have absolute freedom to do whatever you want with this garbage, in exchange I just need you to make him reveal where he hides my daughter.

---Professor— Of course, sir, you can leave it in my capable hands, I will reveal every hidden sector in her memory.

Murasame only nods and leaves the room without turning to me even once.

"(It seems that my old wedding plans will no longer be possible if my father-in-law wants to kill me)"

While I was lost in my thoughts, the man they called "Professor" was standing in front of me, observing me carefully, his calm eyes devoid of all emotion, making everyone else feel an incredible sense of unease, despite its neat appearance, emanated a strong smell of blood.

---Taisei Blue— What's wrong? Do you like what you see or are you just speechless?

As soon as I finish releasing my provocation, almost instantly a strong pain comes from my hand. Turning my attention to it, I can see that my index finger, as well as the middle finger, have been completely severed, and then I can hear the voice of the man they call "Professor."

---Profesor— Please only speak when I tell you or ask a question, otherwise, every time you say something without permission or scream, I will sever some part of your body, don't worry, you won't die, I have very capable assistants.

As soon as he finishes speaking, two people with their heads covered by a type of dark mesh from which only their eyes can be seen, enter the room, bringing with them an arsenal of contraption.

---Profesor— Welcome, I will ask you to work and gather many ingredients and information for me, I will return in about 3 months, play with him without giving him a break, but do not kill him, let him drink the contents of the sample tubes in that briefcase that I asked them to bring, that will help you recover after a long session.

The men nodded, eager to start playing with me, as the "Professor" left the room. However, before I walk through the door, he turns to me and watches me.

---Profesor— True, before leaving I will need to take a little research material with me, I think I will keep the right one since it is complete, make it clean, I don't want any mistakes.

An overwhelming pain invades me when one of the guys, with his face covered, cuts off my entire arm from the shoulder, which immediately falls to the ground, as blood begins to escape from the open wound, covering the right side of my body. in a bright red tint.

Stifling a scream of agony, I try unsuccessfully to dissipate the intense pain.

The other subject with his face hidden takes my arm on the ground, to hand it to the "Professor", who, with a slight laugh that he managed to hear, observes my arm, while one of his assistants puts it in a briefcase, continuing to leave the room, revealing only his back that dissipates after the door closes behind him.

[03:20 AM, 10/14/317 D]

My vision was blurry, I found myself resting on my back with a wall covered in my blood, as well as the rest of what was previously a completely white room.

There was a sealing shackle on my neck, I couldn't speak clearly, my teeth had been knocked out one by one, as had my tongue.

My body was covered in lacerations, or what was left of my body, after running out of fingers to cut off, they began to sever the rest of my limbs, without legs with which to stand up, nor arms with which to crawl, and even without vocal cords with which ask for something.

On the verge of death, I can feel in my neck how the needle pierces my flesh and the serum it contains pours into my body.

And so I lose consciousness.

[07:20 AM, 11/20/317 D]

This time I was hanging by my left arm held by one of the shackles, the rest of my body, apart from my torso and skull, had been dissolved by the acid they were playing with until recently.

I lost consciousness countless times after screaming in agony and pain.

Every day they come up with a new way to torture me, devour my body with wild animals, except for the vital parts, subject me to burning flames, pour acid on me, bet limbs in a game of cards, it seems that with each passing day they become more creatives.

[11:00 PM, 12/31/317 D]

My body was being simply and vaguely stabbed over and over again, as if it were a game for them. This time, from the stained glass window of the upper room, was the man they call "Professor," standing watching everything.

I had come to see if he was ready to speak, but there was nothing to say, because I simply did not know anything, and although I said it many times, I had already lost the strength to continue repeating it, and right now there are no vocal cords through which I could not form any words, only my face of agony and pain, along with the tears that flowed from my eyes due to the uncontrollable pain.

I am sure that this is my last day in this world, they were no longer holding back where they were stabbing, one of my eyes was completely pierced, then I knew well, there was no way to save myself.

My consciousness was fading, the sight of my one eye slowly darkening, between those countless pulses of pain, and from the cold iron piercing my flesh, my world before me became dark.

[¿?]

[¿?]

[¿?]

I was floating in a completely lonely sea, the sky above me was covered in stars, each and every one of my limbs was where they should be.

However, there was no one but me.

---Taisei Blue— Is this what happens after dying? Just a huge, lonely ocean.

I close my eyes in search of rest, accepting my destiny, but a voice breaks my solitary instance.

---shadow— I can finally see you, new chosen one, I'm sorry for everything you've had to live through, but that's a thing of the past, no one can hurt you here.

As I move my hand, I notice that the ocean is now solid, I take a seat on the ground while I observe the silhouette of that man, which remained like a shadow.

---Taisei Blue— That means this is neither paradise nor hell, where are we?

He asked with a calm and relaxed tone, anyway, no matter where he was, the other place was simply already my death sentence.

---shadow— this is a separate world created by the old you, time here runs differently, but here there is no way to harm others, there is no advancement of any kind here, you couldn't use it to train any skill, it's simply a lonely world, a great ocean where you can sit and watch the sky covered by the stellar mantle.

---Taisei Blue— I see... then it means that once I leave here, I will die.

The shadow advanced towards me as if trying to keep me company.

---shadow— the celestial beings have chosen you to carry their power, with their help, the seals that keep your enormous power locked away would be broken, and then there would be no shackle that could stop you, an absolute power that only you possess, along with the power that celestial beings would grant you, you would be the strongest being, a being that no one can harm anymore.

---Taisei Blue— An absolute power, I learned from the seals on my body thanks to my older brother Yasuhika, he said that they were too complex to release and that each one seemed to hide something of great importance. Since the incident in the castle, I can feel another presence next to me, a presence that transmits calm and sadness to me. It was thanks to that presence that I did not lose my mind after three months of non-stop torture. But because I?

The shadow changed its position, placing itself in front of me, to which I only looked up to observe it.

---shadow— I will be honest with you, a long time ago we offered our help to a chosen one, he became the strongest being in the known universe, and therefore the most dangerous, although thousands of years have passed since then, we are afraid that he will soon go to betray his duty, and there will be no one who can stop him, that is why we have chosen you, reincarnation of the king of the beasts Taisei Genpou.

Hearing those words, I smile ironically and relax my body, directing my gaze to the stellar sky.

---Taisei Blue— The King of the beasts, you say… the highest rank granted to the "Novas" if what you say is true, I have been training to kill my people, what an irony, but what you are offering me is to save my life and giving me more power, in exchange for ending that chosen one who has abandoned his position in the future, sounds tempting.

---shadow— That's right, you will be the strongest, and unlike the previous chosen one, your only duty will be to finish him off.

His proposal seems to be the only way forward, so I smiled when I had an answer, while at the same time I tell that presence that has been by my side these last few months, to be calm, I am sure of my decision.

Landing on my feet, I open my eyes that I kept closed while I gathered the determination in me, and then I open them.

---Taisei Blue— An absolute power with which I can protect what I love, and not lose anything else, a power with which I can get everything I want.

---shadow— That's right, I see you've already made a decision.

The shadow extends its hand towards me after those words.

---shadow— you just have to hold my hand, and the deal will be done.

---Taisei Blue— However, it is a power that is not mine. If I am truly a king, then how could I accept the offer of a being who is unable to show his face? So my response to your damn offer is pretty simple.

With a big smile on my face, and the middle finger of my right hand raised.

---Taisei Blue— You can shove your offer up your ass, you're rejected.

The shadow begins to raise an overwhelming aura as soon as it receives my offensive response.

---shadow— Wretch, since a simple beast dares to reject the offer of a celestial being of the greatest divinities of this universe, I will not leave any trace of you.

The shadow of the god forms between his hands what seems to be a trident with which he tries to pierce my body, to which I just close my eyes and smile accepting my fate.

---shadow— I-impossible, what are you doing here? This cannot be happening, nothing escapes the eyes of the celestials!!

The trident that the Shadow of the god was holding had been completely dispelled, with the simple movement of a hand, as if it were swatting away a fly.

Before the shadow of that god, there was an exuberantly beautiful young woman. There were no words to explain her beauty: long dark blue hair, heterochromia in her eyes, blue in her right eye and red in her left, a three-pointed mark and a lightning bolt under her left eyelid that decorated her beautiful face, and an impeccable white complexion along with a perfect figure.

---Arlet Blue— Haven't seen you in a while, messenger.

The shadow of the god seemed to be in panic, he could see how his silhouette trembled completely in the presence of that girl, because she was not just any girl.

The first chosen one of the celestials, and the most powerful being in this universe, different cultures around the world have given her different names: the destroyer, the bearer of all evils, "Angra Mainyu"

---shadow— You!! Vile traitor, you have disappeared in recent years, you were hidden in that boy.

The girl did not show any emotion towards the shadow of the god, she seemed to have nothing to talk to him, however, she answered him.

---Arlet Blue— Hidden? I see... so her plan did work... I only have a message for the celestials; Any being that tries to take control of this man, I will kill him.

The shadow of the god seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and she disappeared after leaving a few threatening words behind her.

[11:00 PM, 12/31/317 D]

[D.4 M.S.O Special Hospital of the capital Iskander]

[H.14 Taisei Blue]

The room was covered in blood, a strong smell that filled the pores of my nose, and shackles attached to my body; There was a group of people looking at me with expressions of disbelief on their faces. I examined my hands and my body, removing the shackles that held me, to which everyone present recoiled.

---Torturer 1— How is this possible, who are you? Before it was…

The man's words ended sooner than he planned, as his head was on the ground, looking at his own body standing in front of him.

The second man took the huge ax to try to hit me, but his ax simply broke into a hundred thousand pieces upon contact with my skin.

---Arlet Blue— Did you have fun cutting into his body?

The man replied awkwardly that he was only following the orders he had been given; However, for every bad answer he gave me, he cut off each of his fingers until he reached his arms and legs, his virile member and his head to finish.

At this event, the man they called "Professor" spoke through the loudspeakers.

---Profesor— Let no one try anything to stop her, she has earned the release of both her and that boy, from today they will be just another inmate of the facility, congratulations, young lady, do not disappoint me in the future, I expect great things from you two.

The voice stops, and the guards who were previously gathered at the entrance to the room return to their position.

---Arlet Blue— It's over... you can finally rest easy, Tai.

I place my right hand on my chest and close my eyes to enter that world, that world where only we belong.

[inner world]

Taisei's soul is sleeping peacefully in an elegantly decorated room, just like his room in the Genpou residence.

---Arlet Blue— You created this world for me, forgive me for not being able to help you before, I still did not know how to take control of the body, every time I appeared in that room, I knew that you would be safe, but no matter how much I tried to communicate with you, nothing gave result. This is the first time I can be like this, for hundreds of years.

I take place next to him, in search of that warm refuge that can alleviate the ills of my soul.

An encounter for which she has been waiting for hundreds of thousands of years, memories that only currently live in her, but that continue to be strong in both of them, now sharing the same being.
