Chapter 506 506: Void Touched
CAIRO EGYPT
Azrael popped out of the shadows in a rather secluded street, the hustle and bustle of the great city of Cairo a symphony of noises that rose up into the air to shroud his presence, he took a minute to take a breath, leaning against a random wall as he chuckled to himself while at the same time grimacing in pain.
His wrist still felt weird from the Geas that had been forced on him and Cole, looking back, perhaps he should not have been so wanton in his bid to escape from Cole. But in his defense his emotions, something that he really didn't think he had any of left, were all over the place and Cole took great advantage of it.
But now that things had finally slowed down enough for him to take a breather he realized his entire nerves were on edge, his focus sharpened and that was because with each second that passed, Azrael had this intense feeling that Cole was watching him, and that somehow he was currently in Cole's own backyard.
And this was the significance of Azrael's clash and meeting with Cole, ultimately he had been forced to grow, in more ways than one as he got ever closer to his creators dream of a being from a perfect race. Unique and the only one of it's kind. Who knew the journey to that perfection is trying to kill a man that frankly speaking by this point Azrael felt that the entire universe was trying to protect.
He looked down at his arm to see black veins stretched over his skin. He could feel it within him, the void, swallowing and twisting his insides like a poison. Perhaps death was not too far away from Azrael, but even at that, even if the void swallows him….he had fun? Battling with his life on the edge where the situation could change at any minute had woken something in him that he never thought was there, and he was hoping to feed that thing that has been awoken, to let it grow. Because whatever this feeling was, that made him so eager to step out and go look for a fight, he absolutely loved it.
Azrael took a minute to go through some of his messages. The moment they were dropped here he recognized immediately that they were on earth, their own earth and not the multiple realities his perception had been able to see through every time Cole moved.
Of course he really only knew one person, and that 2adbhis ears on the ground. The person responsible for helping him escape his creators and providing targets on earth for Azrael to ply his trade and make some money to survive.
[Hey Kid this is old man Tony. I haven't heard from you in a while so I'm hoping this finds you safe.]
[So Streams of your battle with the strongest Aspirant in the universe has hit the Internet. I don't know if these messages can get to you in the other universe or something but, I'd like to say I'm proud of you.
You've come so far, from the malnourished and feral kid that I dragged out of that facility. So even if half the universe wants you to fail, I hope you can finish the contract and end him.]
[Hey Kid, that Cole dude is more dangerous than I thought. I see the reason why they call him the strongest, I've never seen a more adaptable individual in my life. I don't think this is a contract you will ever be able to complete, but failure doesn't define you. Use him as an edge and sharpen yourself. I know your mind, I trust you]
[Hey Kid, I hope you are safe. There's been no streams in over a month now. I'm worried, but I'll keep and eye on things before you get back, stay safe.]
[Hey Kid I found something about the Archon Order Of Celestials. I don't think The Creator went down with the facility when we escaped. He is still here on earth, running the organization from the shadows. I've found a trail and I'm going to chase after it to see where I leads.]
[Hey Kid, how are you doing. I was right, the order is still around. And they're replicating or trying to replicate the experiment that created you. I don't know how far they've gone, but I'll try and get more proof and see if I can get the governments to stop them.]
[Hey Kid, they found me. This would be the last message I can get out to you since I need to go underground for a while. Even after the world council purge, it seems much of our leadership has been infected and corrupted by invaders….the governments won't help us …. They're now funding the research and experiments. Hopefully this storm passes before you return.]
[Azrael….. I'm so sorry Kid….Goodbye]
[Your Contact Stinky Tony Is How Deceased! Neural Dome Offline]
It was one hit after the other to Azrael as he stood there looking at the messages. The word Deceased stood out to him as he smiled, a single tear drop, probably the only tears he has ever dropped in his life, slid down his cheek as he clenched his fist tightly.
*Boom!*
Shadow and darkness spilled out of his body, blasting the buildings on both sides of him to smithereens as a system prompt popped up in front of him.
[Your Bloodline Has Found Synergy With The Void! You Have Developed the Trait!]
The pain he has been feeling since he returned back to earth faded as Azrael vanished from that location, leaving destruction behind as the wrath and anger Cole had eaten came back in full force, the void now birthed in Azrael eating it up as, the thirst for vengeance returned, and this tike he would have it, even if he has to turn the entire earth blood red to do so.
