Back to Base
"Oh, I was about to get to that. Orochi, if you wouldn't mind turning back?" Soul asked Orochi, turning to face him. "Sure. It's much tamer for me to turn into a human than a dragon, so just give me a second." Orochi responded as he quickly shrunk down to his human size, his body appearing inside his clothes. It was just so he wasn't exposed for any reason. "This is what we do. Think of it as a police system or guard force, except it has overly powerful monsters to serve as enforcement." Soul explained as Sciat just looked at him in awe, causing Jude and the others to walk towards Soul.
"You know, I honestly thought you and Aaron would have run out of surprises by this point, but I guess not," Jude commented. "That's not a bad thing, but I'm just curious about what you're going to do next."
"Honestly, I'm surprised I'm still alive. None and Seph, you guys remember Ronin, right? I think Sciat and maybe Jude was there as well. When we collected Oki. That was Ronin. He just burnt down an entire civilisation over a grudge that he had against me for the past while, ever since we kicked his ass back in the human Kingdom." Soul responded, reminding everyone of the mental patient that was Ronin. However, they all were just slightly insane, so it wasn't much compared to someone like Soul.
"So, he's still going around?" Sciat pondered, looking towards the sky, just checking to make sure that the bastard wasn't flying above them. "No, I sucked him into a black hole. One of the skills I gained from using God Eater on the Basilisk was Black Hole Creation. I used that, infusing it with some wings I created using Boundless Telekinesis, and then we have a portable black hole carrier." Soul explained, a smile on his face. "He fell for my trap, and now he's...well, I have no idea where the hell he is. He's either permanently dead or back into Takamagahara, which you guys might know as Heaven. I just call it Takamagahara because I have respect for a certain culture back on my home planet, which this sword originated from." Soul continued, using his right hand to slowly unsheathe his sword.
"I know we're getting way too off track, but I just want to showcase to you all why I have such a long sword," Soul told them all, rising into the air with his arms slightly outwards. "It's called intimidation." Soul explained before suddenly dropping to the ground, his sword swung out by his side. "It instils a sense of fear in my opponents. At least, I'm pretty sure it does. It's eight feet long, so it's longer than most opponents." Soul explained, walking towards the Kingdom. "Now, I've said too much. Guys, I'm going to go talk to Crystet." Soul finished, not saying a single word after that.
"Something's up with Soul. It isn't like him or Aaron to randomly stop talking. Either he's actually being serious about this, or he's doing something stupid. Both are equally likely, in my opinion." Sciat explained to the group as they all started to follow behind Aaron. They were also curious about what the hell kind of stupid thing he would do. They wouldn't be disappointed.
Soul walked up to Aaron's house and stood at the door. With a sigh and a pained expression, he opened it.
Soul was met with a swift punch to the face, which he hadn't expected. Soul flew backwards, landing on the ground, scraping some of his Corruption against it. "I saw you walking up, you fucking idiot. Do you really think that I regret yelling at you? That I'll forgive YOU? You were the reason that Aaron destroyed my planet. My HOME. How would you like it if I killed Aaron? YOUR home?" Crystet yelled in Soul's face, picking him up by the neck. "I'm not going to fight you, Crystet," Soul told Crystet, who just smiled at him. "I'm done trying to hurt you. I'm trying to change."
"This just makes it easier for me to kick the shit out of you!" Crystet yelled back, taking great delight in creating swords made out of his Ultimate Skill, Ultimate Lightsworn, and stabbing them into Soul. The others watched on in horror as Soul took in all of the attacks, becoming nothing more than a pincushion for Crystet to shove as many attacks in as he wanted.
"Why won't you fucking react?! Scream out in pain! Let out a cry of agony! At least even try and laugh it off!" Crystet complained as Soul stared him directly in the eyes. "I won't give you the satisfaction you want. You'd just keep going the way that you are." Soul responded, standing up as Crystet continued to stab swords into his body before making them disappear, causing chunks of Soul's body to fall out rapidly.
"You. Won't. Ever. Win." Soul slowly said to him before delivering a wicked right hook to his face. "That's all you're getting out of me. I'm not going to force everyone to deal with your selfish behaviour. It's either you cop the fuck on and cope with your past, or I kill you and send you back up to Takamagahara. Now, since I'm not up there with you, you won't be able to survive, and guess what'll happen to your mind?" Soul continued, letting his Corruption build back up into his body.
"Alec. He's up there because Aaron set him up with a Boundless energy source to live off of. Shadow. Remember them? Yeah, Aaron created an energy link that keeps ALEC alive. Aaron didn't make one for you since you'd be travelling to another planet with HIM. I, and in turn, Aaron, are your only methods of living, Crystet." Soul pointed out, shocking everyone there. "If you die, there is no extra life for you like there is for me, Sciat, Amana and Ezrahel. So, are you ready to cop on and stop being a BITCH over stuff that happened years ago for you? You had your evil phase back on the last planet, and now it's time for you to stop being a little whiney weight on our heels." Soul insulted him, finally getting through his thick skull.
However, that wasn't enough.
Crystet got up, his body slightly vibrating, as light lit up his eyes and mouth, almost as if he was creating light. The pearlescent shine blinded everyone there, and Soul felt almost soft winds blowing across his chest.
