Master Creator -THOROS

Kylian opened his eyes and all he could see was a night sky filled with countless stars, he slighty turned his head and found himself lying on the ground which seemed to stretch as far as his eyes could see.

'Where am I ? Am I dead ?' Kylian thought, as he looked at the beautiful sky, the thought of dead strangely did not seem to bother him much.

"You are alive." an omnipotent voice echoed, and in the next instant, a gigantic face made of clouds appeared covering the whole sky beneath itself.

Surprisingly Kylian did not even feel alarmed by the voice or by the smoke face that seemed to have covered the whole sky, he was rather curious and he could feel a soothing sensation throughout his body.

"Who are you and why am I here ? What is this place ?" Kylian asked, as he stood up on the ground.

"Answering your first question would consume a lot of time and time is what I am short of. I have lived a very long life, and I am known by countless names throughout the universe - Master Creator, The Destroyer, The Conqueror, Ruthless, Merciful, and many more " the mouth of the face moved, and that resplendent voice echoed again "but to you I am your father, and will let you call me Thoros."

Kylian was surprised by the sudden drop of information, his curiosity had only increased, but the voice resounded again "You are here because your body died, and this place is within you."

By now Kylian had no clue what to even make of the situation and among thousands of questions which one to ask first.

"I can see you have many questions" the Thoros spoke, as if seeing through Kylian "but I don't have much time left. Let me tell you things that will be crucial for your journey."

"What journey ?" Kylian immediately raised his query.

"Journey to become the strongest being in this universe and rule over all beings, and how does such a power came to existence." Thoros replied.

"Such a power exist ?" Kylian asked immediately, "How do I achieve it ?" Kylian was intoxicated by the whole idea of gaining such power and to rule over everything.

Changes had happened within Kylian's body after coming here. His true self that was lying dormant was finally awakening.

"Hahahahahaahaha..." the face burst into laughter, which left the whole space trembling.

"What's wrong" Kylian's looked at the face, his brows furrowed, he was slightly vexed at Thoros on laughing at him.

'Look at the anger on being laughed at' Thoros thought as he noticed Kylian's frow 'You indeed are my son, one true Monarch.'

"Don't misunderstand me son" Thoros spoke immediately "Have you ever seen an ocean trying to find water ?"

"?" Kylian looked at him, still a bit vexed.

"You are that power."

Kylian face turned into a mixture of excitement and confusion, but his lips were curved into a smile.

Thoros continued- "One of the most powerful energies in the whole universe is the energy of life, which could be even called soul energy. Some powerful races consume it to raise their strength, but no one in this universe could consume it wholly, at most only half of the soul could be consumed. That is not the only problem, the time taken to consume even a single powerful soul is huge, it might take even decades.

"Decades" Kylian was startled, decades was something too long a time period for him.

"Yes, and the whole process of consumption could not be interrupted at any point of time." Thoros spoke further describing the drawbacks.

Kylian could see the face made of cloud, smirk if that was possible - "I the master crafter Thoros Pyrrhus Dione, not only did find a solution to the whole problem but also found a way to gain skills through them. I had to travel to the-"

Thoros paused mid-sentence, and in the next moment, his projection faded a little, enough to be noticed even by Kylian.

"Let's talk about you son" Thoros spoke "This power came with a small shortcoming, it could only be used by someone who wasn't tainted by blood and had a pure soul." "Whose soul could be purer than child's. It is here where you come in, son. You were just two days when I gave you this ultimate power."

"Strong entities were alarmed, by this" Thoros' expressions sombered "Combining their forces they attacked our planet, to put an end to you son, who had the potential to rule over them someday."

His expression further soured "I had to flee my planet in order to save you."

"For your safekeeping, I teleported to this planet, which was the furthermost I could find, and in the process depleted half of my powers."

"This planet was just over a forty thousand years when I teleported here,"

Kylian gasped at the number and how nonchalantly Thoros had called that long time period 'just', Kylian however did not wanted to interrupt him, as he could see his projection was fading with each passing minute.

Thoros however noticed Kylian's expression and decided to clear his doubts.

"Fourty thousand must sound a long time period to you son, but for a planets, it is just a fraction of time." Thoros spoke "Even I had lived for around fifty thousand years and there are many entities to have lived even more than me."

"So this planet was new, and the core of the planet was still developing. The environment with no mana proved fatal for you, and your health started to plunge and your body could not develop in this weak environment.

In order to save you, I had to stop time around you and had to keep you in a magic capsule that had enough mana to help you survive, but it was not enough. Due to the less mana in that capsule, it took you around two centuries to awaken."

Kylian was baffled by the influx of information, he couldn't understand most of the things, but he did not interrupt as he could see that the cloud was slowly fading away. Kylian just listened to the information as he could somehow tell it was really important.

"In order to guide you whenever you wake, I sealed a fraction of my soul inside of you. Whom you are talking to now."

"I was so busy in protecting you that I did not notice that the due to sudden influx of magic by my arrival the mana core of this planet had started evolving abnormally.

Living things closer to nature started to mutate first, one-tenth, and one-fifteenth of the planet's plants and animals mutated in the very first week. Trying to gain supremacy on the planet, these mutated plants and animals killed almost ten percent of the dominant species of the planet -humans-."

"I would not have bothered but your survival was dependent on the planet, so I distributed one-twentieth of my powers among hundred individuals all around the planet, so they could get rid of these abnormalities and save themselves for the time being.

While these hundred people took care of the mutation on the surface, I plunged inside the ground to take care of the core, otherwise, there would have been more mutation and this planet would have ceased to exist which would then lead to your death.

Curing the core left me exhausted of almost all my strength.

The humans I had granted power witnessed my powers first hand and started worshipping me as a god.

But as time passed and they realized I was not as strong as before, greed took over them to control the planet, and a large number of them waged war on me.

I was not even a fraction of my powers, was defeated by them after my last struggle."
