The Greatest Sinner

Thousands of memories turned into a single drop. It was a concentration of the millions of lives Evan had cut short. It was a concentration of death's power, its purest expression.

Evan touched the gray drop, and at that moment, space began to collapse. The darkness was turning into emptiness. In a few seconds, there should have been nothing left of Evan's consciousness.

<This drop... strange, but why don't I feel any fear of death? I don't feel anything at all... is it possible because death is emptiness? Death is nothing...>.

Evan thought, and suddenly the gray drop was gone. It carried death behind it and was aimed at the only thing still alive in Evan's mind.

Whooosh.

The gray drop appeared in Evan's Nirvana and rushed toward the crimson sphere. "Warp" was the last barrier separating the mage from ultimate death. In all other cases, any other mage would have died, but Evan was still alive because his Nirvana and Warp were still intact.

They were not yet destroyed, thanks to the immense darkness emitted by the slash inside the Warp. That was where the gray drop was headed. It had to destroy that scythe so that Evan could go to the realm of the dead.

This gray drop represented a part of death. If it touched anything, the target would immediately die.

Whooosh.

Through the cracks, the gray drop penetrated the inside of the Warp. Its purpose was to touch the scythe and destroy the space, but the scythe took effect as soon as the drop was inside.

The limitless amount of darkness spread across Nirvana instantly returned to the scythe. Space was white again, but Evan's Warp was filled with darkness.

The gray drop headed toward the scythe. It felt no threat from this darkness. All she had to do was destroy the scythe. However, when the drop touched the scythe, nothing happened. Moreover, after an unsuccessful attempt, the drop tried to get out of the Warp, but the layer of darkness prevented it from doing so.

The scythe locked the gray drop inside Evan's Warp and wouldn't let it go anywhere. The drop could do nothing to the scythe, and there was only one explanation: the scythe was above it in the hierarchical ladder of this world. But, only death itself could be higher than death.

The drop could not kill the darkness, for the darkness was nothing. The scythe did nothing, it seemed to be waiting for something. It only locked the gray drop inside the Warp.

Whoosh.

When the space Evan was in practically collapsed, another door appeared before him.

"So, is it good's turn now?" Evan smirked and opened the white door.

It was the opposite of the dark door and represented Evan's deeds that saved someone's life. To Evan's surprise, there were a lot of shards, almost as many as there were memories of the murders.

But, that didn't mean that Evan did good deeds as much as he did evil ones. He did save some people, but only those who were dear or useful to him.

The whole point was that these "good" memories were not from the man's moral point of view.

For example: in one "evil" memory, Evan destroyed a criminal organization, he killed hundreds of people in just a few minutes, but that same memory was a "good" memory. By destroying those people, he saved the lives of those who those criminals would have killed.

Most of the memories were just that.

<"By killing some, I gave life to others... but that's not a good thing, that's the rule of this world. Evan thought as he walked down the stone slabs.>

Even though the white door was supposed to contain memories of saving the lives of others, Evan found himself once again surrounded by memories of killing.

After a while, Evan reached the most vivid and first memory of saving anyone.

It was the memory of his father's murder. On that day, Evan not only committed his first murder, but he saved someone for the first time. Then he saved himself.

Just like the last time, all the shards headed toward the first memory. After a while, they turned into a white drop. Its purpose was different from the gray drop, but it was also to interrupt Evan's life because he was already dead. Unlike the gray drop, it didn't want to destroy Evan's consciousness until he decided to leave this world on his own.

She rushed to Evan's Warp to stop the gray drop. The scythe inside the sphere let the white drop through the darkness, but it still went on idly.

"I see, so these two drops represent demonic and divine energy. Their struggle is what killed me. Both angels and demons kill their enemies, but they also save others. But I don't like that. The memories in the door were mine, but the view of this world in them was different." 

"Where is my door, then?"

Worth Evan's utterance as a third door appeared before him. It was different from the dark and white door, it was Evan's private world. Its color kept changing. All the colors of the rainbow shimmered in it at one time, and then it changed to a particular one. It was not divided into good and evil. This door represented Evan's feelings for this world.

As Evan got closer, the door stopped changing its color. It turned gray, and its surface was like a mirror in which Evan could see his reflection perfectly.

Click.

Evan opened the door and entered his world. Here were all the memories he had. They were not divided into good and evil, all the actions and feelings Evan had ever experienced were here. Trevor's memories and the ones he took from the informant were here, too.

When Evan took a few steps forward, all the memories turned into a violet drop. It also headed toward Evan's Warp.

That's when strange changes began to happen to Evan's corpse. Evan didn't come back to life, but gray energy began to emanate from his body as if "Splash" were now happening.

The purple drop quickly reached Evan's Warp, a dense layer of darkness letting it through. There were now three drops inside the Warp, and each had a different target. But, of all the drops, only the purple drop didn't want Evan to die, and neither did the scythe. Only thanks to the black scythe, Evan's Nirvana and Warp had not yet been destroyed.

In an instant, the three drops headed toward each other. As they struggled, they transformed into one. The large drop combining all three drops began to grow in size. At the same time, the scythe removed its darkness, it didn't want to interfere with what would happen next.

The drop turned into a bubble that was almost as big as the crimson "Warp."

Blug.

Suddenly the bubble burst, and the liquid spread across the entire surface of the Warp. It was enough to cover the outer and inner shell of the Warp.

After a while, the liquid evaporated, and all the cracks on Warp disappeared. Moreover, "Nirvana" fully recovered, and Evan's wound began to heal slowly.

Every second, Evan's body emitted more and more strange energy. Reykar tried to absorb it as much as possible. Otherwise, the barriers would have failed, and the entire mansion would have been altered.

While Evan's wound was healing, his consciousness returned to Nirvana. He was connected to this place, so he roughly understood what had happened here. Evan was puzzled, but not because his mortal wound had begun to heal, he looked at his crimson Warp with incomprehension.

"Is it just me, or has the color changed a little....?"
