Chapter 330 Fel (2)

The words as they came out of Fel’s mouth made Raith’s face frown in horror.

“What did you say?‐ 𝐞𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺

Fel raised a finger as he continued to explain.

“I don’t know if you know this already but the abyss is a primordial. To be precise, he is the primordial of darkness.”

“Ah, I guessed as much.”

“He lost his body and majority of his power when he tried to absorb the primordial of sin.”

This was in line with the same story that Beelzebub was telling him a few minutes ago before the celestial code kicked in.

“Please tell me everything down to the last detail”

“Of course. Make no worries for yourself. We have all day.” He said with a grin and continued.

“The primordial of sin was the greatest primordial, he was also the youngest of the three primordial of the beginning. However he was like a child, unsure of his path in the world, he held within him a very big potential to either be evil or to be good and so his two brothers began to tutor him with the intent to help him navigate his path.

That was on the outside, on the inside, both of them had their motive for teaching him. The primordial of sin however began to enjoy the teaching of the primordial of light but also did not ignore the teaching of the primordial of darkness. It found a perfect for both teachings to exist.

But the primordial darkness refuted that balance. It didn’t want it to be balanced, it wanted it to run amok, be free, and wreak havoc. But that was not happening. And so the primordial of darkness got desperate and tried to absorb his brother.

Which was harder than he thought it would be. But the primordial of darkness was also quite strong, to salvage itself and prevent itself from being absorbed into darkness, the primordial of sin divided itself into twelve parts based on the teachings of both of its brothers.

Which was later known as the ruler’s authority. The seven deadly sins and the seven heavenly virtues.”

“But I thought the ruler’s authority is only the seven deadly sins.”

“That is because the seven heavenly virtues are chosen by the primordials themselves. Of course, only humans can inherit these authorities. But while the seven deadly sins are scattered around the planes of existence. The primordial of light was able to contain the seven heavenly virtues and selected humans to serve as rulers.

You don’t get to see them in action, but they are crazy strong. No clash of the virtue rulers and sin rulers have ever been recorded but I don’t think any sin ruler is capable of defeating them. I mean, they are humans personally handpicked and trained by primordials.”

“So… back to the point.”

“Yes, back to the point. The separation caused a great injury to the primordial of darkness, caused him to fall from grace and accidentally birthed the fiends and demons?”

“Oh? The fiends and demons were birthed by accident?”

“Yes, the abyss is not powerful enough to create an entire strong race such as demons. It was all because of the primordial sin…that was how powerful it was. Moreso, the disaster stimulated the materialization of several other primordials.”

“So in a way, we can say that catastrophe birthed the other primordials and demons.”

“And angels and gods… it was the beginning of everything.”

“Wow…” Raith covered his mouth.

“In an attempt to return to its original state, the abyss began to gather all seven sins and along with the crystal of creation, the artifact said to be the only thing left of the almighty creator.”

“Well, how does the abyss wanting to return to its original form say that it is aiming to destroy the wheel of cosmology.”

“Because it is after the crystal. If there is anything capable of destroying the wheel of cosmology, it is the crystal. It is useless to the primordials… but it might be capable of destroying the wheel of cosmology. Since it is the remnant of the almighty creator.”

“Wow…that shady bastard. So, the abyss has been deceiving me since all this while. I swear I can’t wait to destroy it even if I have to destroy myself.” Raith seethed.

“Hey, now Danny danger. Calm down… don’t underestimate the abyss.” Fel exhaled. “I underestimated the abyss and that is why I failed…I hope you don’t make the same mistake as I did. Immediately you make it out of here. Go to Elka plane of seastrom. Find Thard-Harl.”

“Wait, Thard-Harl? Thard-Harl is dead!” His face sunk low, “…I killed him.”

Fel chuckled lightly, he looked at Raith and tried to hold in the light but in the end, he couldn’t. He let out a huge burst of laughter.

Raith was put in a very awkward situation.

“Oh my head oh my head. Harl, can you hear this? He thinks he killed you. Looks like we did manage to deceive the abyss after all.”

Raith was now very confused, he frowned.

“What do you mean deceive the abyss? What are you not telling me.”

“It will make more sense when you go to Elka plane”

“Wait, how do I get to Elka plane?! I have never even been to anywhere apart from Felfhiem!”

Fel scratched his head with a sheepish smile,

“Well, I can’t exactly tell you how to… you have to figure out that one on your own. It’d take me years to start describing what galaxy to branch or pass by. It’ll be faster when you discover there yourself.”

He stretched his hands, placed one on Raith’s shoulder, the other on his chest, then he closed his eyes… only for them to shoot open the next second.

“Holy Timish! I can sense the crystal within you. I can also sense the sin of greed. Although it lays dormant, either you don’t know how to assimilate or the abyss is preventing you from assimilating.”

“Both actually. And due to my fight with an asura named Cor-Ellion, I kinda merged with the crystal. I was in a loop of repeated death and it saved me by coincidence.”

Fel’s eyes grew wider and wider, he shook his head vigorously, refuting what Raith had just said.

“No no no no my friend. There is no such thing as coincidence in a case like this. The crystal chose you! I am sure the almighty creator has started moving! Something huge is coming! I can feel it in my bones. Man!! I feel so sad that I am not alive at a time like this but I’m glad that my message was able to get through to you.”

Raith smiled as he saw the genuine happiness on the guy’s face.

“I will do a memory-to-memory transplant on how to use your ruler’s authority and assimilate with your sin. But mainly what I came here to do is to break away your uniqueness to the abyss. That tie is what the abyss has on you that binds you down to it, once I break it, you might or might not lose it. Are you okay with that?”

Raith took a moment to think about the words said by Fel.

To put this simply, the decision he made here would determine whether he will retain his ability to be able to resurrect after death.
