Chapter 81:

Wrath of power

The Eternal world of Mona


I rush through the entrance to the Edge of Eternal, quickly ascending the stairs that lead to the top floor. Each step brings me closer to my goal, my heart pounding with anticipation and excitement. Finally, I reach the top of the stairs and push open the door to find...

Zachary waiting for me.

Suddenly, a circle appears beneath my feet, and I find myself trapped in a pocket dimension, the room around me shifting and warping.

I look around, and see a figure standing before me, their eyes glowing a bright crimson red, and an aura of darkness and malice surrounding them.

I tried to speak to know there identity. "Who are you." 

The figure looks at me, their gaze cold and calculating.

"I am the Darkness, the embodiment of all that is dark and evil in this world. I am the force that seeks to consume all that is light and good, to plunge all into endless darkness and despair."

I shiver at the figure's words, the sheer malevolence in their voice and mannerisms leaving no doubt that they are indeed the Darkness itself.

The Darkness takes a step forward, their movement slow and deliberate.

"And you, little hero, you seek to defy Lord Zachary? To stand in the path of ultimate darkness and try to block its advance?"

I stand my ground, my expression determined despite the fear and uncertainty that threatens to overwhelm me.

"Look I don't know who you are. But your in my way, if your ready to die then let me know I'll make this quick for you."

The Darkness laughs, a sound that rings hollow and cold.

"You? A mere mortal, a pawn in the war between light and darkness, thinks you can stand up to me? You are nothing compared to my power, to my endless hunger for destruction and despair."

As the Darkness continues to speak, the room suddenly transforms into a dark, endless cube, its walls closing in around me. Before I can react, I find myself bound and helpless, my body restrained by dark tendrils that seem to emerge from the very shadows themselves.

I struggle against the tendrils, trying to break free, but they hold me tight, their grip like iron. The Darkness looks on, amused by my efforts to escape. "Wow really your going to trap in this cube I really need to stop letting my guard down."

The Darkness chuckles, its voice cold and amused.

"Oh, so you finally realize the foolishness of your actions, do you? It's too late for that now, little hero. You're trapped here, helpless and at my mercy. And there's nothing you can do to stop me."

The tendrils tighten their grip, their cold, dark energy seeping into my body. I shiver, feeling the weight of the Darkness's power weighing down on me.

Then in desperate times calls for   desperate I whilst like I whistle really loud

The Darkness pauses, its expression curious.

"What was that? Did I just hear you...whistle?"

Suddenly, Jupiter appears out of nowhere, her form materializing in a burst of light. Before the Darkness can react, she charges forward and lands a staggering kick, sending the Darkness flying backwards. The dimension cracks and shifts, the force of Jupiter's attack shuddering the very fabric of reality.

I feel glad she's here. "Jupiter your here my emotionless powerful creation, question how did you get here."

Jupiter turns to me, her expression unchanged. She speaks in a monotone voice.

"I sensed your need for assistance and teleported here as quickly as possible. I calculated the fastest route, and came as soon as I could."

She looks at the darkness and ask. "Is this the target that has you sealed in this dimension."

I nod. "Yep that's the guy and be careful he can be pain in the ass, so be careful."

The Darkness grumbles, its expression bitter.

"So it's true, you've brought in reinforcements. Very well, but you cannot hope to defeat me. My power is unmatched, my darkness all-consuming."

Jupiter looks at the Darkness, her expression calm and neutral.

"Perhaps, but I was designed to fight beings even more powerful than you. I have faced the depths of the Omniverse and emerged victorious. You are nothing compared to what I have defeated before."

The Darkness scoffs, its arrogance undiminished.

"Oh, please. You're but a creation, a product of science and technology. You may be powerful, but you lack the true essence of a being. I am the very embodiment of darkness, the pure distillation of evil and despair."

I interrupt, unable to keep quiet any longer.

"Don't you dare talk to Jupiter like that! She's more of a being than you'll ever be, you heartless, twisted monster. She has the capacity for growth, for change, for compassion. That's something you'll never understand."

The Darkness Laughs.

"Compassion? How naive. You truly believe that is a strength? No. Compassion is a weakness. It holds you back, makes you vulnerable to the harsh realities of existence. That is why I have banished such petty emotions from my being."

The Darkness doesn't get a chance to finish his sentence before Jupiter's fist connects with his face. The impact is so fast and powerful that it seems to ignore the very concept of time and motion, as if Jupiter is operating on a fundamentally different level. The Darkness stumbles backwards, stunned and staggered by the force of the blow.

Jupiter speaks, her voice emotionless and cold.

"You dare to spew your corrupted philosophy in front of me, a being of pure strength and purpose? Do you truly believe that compassion and emotions are weaknesses? You are nothing but a misguided puppet, a slave to your own darkness. I have triumphed in realms you couldn't comprehend, overcome challenges that would break your very being. You are mere trash compared to me."

The Darkness growls, its confidence shaken by Jupiter's words. It can sense the power and determination radiating from her like a living force.

"You may be strong, but you have not faced true darkness. I am the very essence of despair, the embodiment of all that is dark and twisted. I have consumed galaxies, destroyed worlds, and absorbed the very souls of countless beings."
