Chapter 2432: Suicide Over Death
Date: Unspecified
Time: Unspecified
Location: Source, Blood Rule Source
"Um, Wyatt, did the egg just talk to us?" Dalie asked in doubt, turning around to face the humongous silver egg.
"Dalie, get us out of here. Now!" I yelled in panic, having confirmed my speculation that the Davient Devil was stuck in the Blood Rule Source. Now, we were its only way out of here.
I had no problem with Dalie giving it a lift, but who was to say it wouldn’t eat her to aid its recovery and evolution afterwards? My panic stemmed from the fact that none of the dark races could be trusted, especially those belonging to the ruler-class, and especially not when a celestial was involved.
Alerted by the urgency in her sibling’s tone, Dalie wasted no time taking them home, but to her dismay, she found an oppressive force locked onto them, restraining their abilities as a blood rule domain locked them in it.
"Shit!" I exclaimed as the blood rule domain trapped us. It was no regular domain. It contained the blood regression meaning of the blood rule. Meaning, the longer we stayed in it, the weaker we would grow by slowly regressing to our younger selves, both physically and spiritually.
The Deviant Devil used it to defeat the Elder Anaesthesia Dragon, and now it was using it to trap Dalie, knowing she was surprisingly very young for a celestial. Considering that it did not take long for the Blood Regression domain to revert the Elder Anaesthesia Dragon to an Anaesthesia Dragon, Dalie was in deep trouble, considering she had only been a celestial for a few days.
I had no idea how the Deviant Devil was able to activate its blood rule domain in its current state, but one thing was for sure: it was now or never. We had to act now or be stuck with it in the blood rule source.
Knowing we had to act fast, I immediately ordered, "Dalie, use the skill, Suicide Over Death." Before having Devil Merchant Code transfer my soul to one of my pseudo calamity soul gems hidden in Ceed’s world.
Suicide Over Death was the name I gave to the last resort skill, where the soul abandons the body and heads to a new one prearranged by the user, while I was teaching it to Dalie and Ceed, my Celestial bloodkins. However, I required the help of Devil Merchant Code to use this skill, as celestials Dalie and Ceed achieved a similar result when in their earthly incarnation and not in their celestial body. In their case, after abandoning their earthly incarnation, their ’Will’ just returns to their original celestial body as if being pulled back into it.
[ AN: Earthly incarnation?
Bloodette is the earthly incarnation of Card World’s blood rule stream spirit. It took over Bloodette’s body to help Wyatt enter the blood rule source and retrieve unconscious Cortney.
If Bloodette is an incarnation, how does she have a will of her own?
It’s just that Bloodette got incredibly old and ultimately developed self-awareness and began getting into trouble along with other earthly incarnations, naming herself Bloodette and what not.
P.S. To be continued in ’Supreme Beings: Origins.’ Stay tuned.]
Seeing Wyatt’s body disintegrate without leaving his primordial calamity soul gem behind, Dalie suppressed all her doubts about whether the situation was grave enough to warrant such a response from them and executed the last resort skill her little brother taught her, Suicide Over Death, as he asked her to.
Dalie headed home, taking one last look at the ginormous silver egg, wondering why her little bro was so wary about the latter. It was strong, but her little brother wasn’t the type to cower before the strong, especially with her right by his side.
...
Returning to her celestial body, Dalie immediately reconstructed a new Earthly incarnation using the ability of her primordial calamity daughter gem and headed into Ceed’s world in search of her little brother to check on him and get a few answers.
As I got myself clothed in one of the empty islands of the Trophy section, Dalie arrived and asked, "Dalton, are you alright?" Even though her celestial vision told her little brother couldn’t be healthier physically, mentally, and spiritually. Still, only after hearing her little brother say, "I am fine," did she calm down.
"What about you? This was your first time after all." I was genuinely concerned, having no idea about how a celestial’s psyche would react to an experience quite similar to death. After all, they were the beings with the longest lifespan of all in the myriad realms.
"I am fine, too. But what was that, and why were you so scared of it?" Dalie immediately asked, as she did not like the fact that her little brother ran with his tail between his legs despite her being next to him. She wanted to fight, if it came to it.
"That’s the infamous Deviant Devil Mamas Mulias. The Mulias family’s owlape bloodline is known for its miraculous adaptability. Fighting them on their terms is nothing short of foolishness. Besides, you are nowhere strong enough to take on him on a regular basis, let alone after he activated his blood regression domain. You would have died if you had stayed in it any longer," I informed without holding back any details. Dalie became a celestial just recently, so she had very little worldly experience. Therefore, her actions to me appeared like a young calf challenging the tiger up the hill.
"Blood Regression meaning?" Dalie only understood this part of what her little bro just spoke, and the rest just went straight over her head. "What if I master Blood Regression meaning of the Blood rule to the ultimate tier, then will you believe that I can defeat him?
"Did you not hear what I just said?" I asked my elder sister in disbelief. I didn’t understand her weird fixation over this.
"I did, you think I’m weaker than that thing. Well, I will prove you wrong. We are heading back after I am done mastering blood rule’s blood regression meaning," Dalie declared, preparing to connect to the blood rule source and comprehend the blood regression meaning. Being a true celestial, comprehending rules and their meanings wasn’t a challenge for her, but natural, just like breathing was to humans and swimming was to a fish.
"No, are you not hearing me? Ruler-class are way stronger than a newborn celestial who still hasn’t condensed more than a single rule stream. Even I can defeat you. Let us talk after you manage to form your first rule stream spirit."
I wasn’t lying to Dalie, I could easily defeat any of my calamity daughter gems. Also, though comprehending rules was natural for celestials, comprehending a rule enough to condense a rule steam spirit would take her a lot of time. As a newborn celestial, except for the Space rule, Dalie wasn’t very proficient in any of the other rules. If not for her celestial array spirit background, she wouldn’t have her current comprehension of the space rule.
Honestly, except for her celestial strength and abilities that she gained after becoming a true celestial and my calamity daughter gem abilities, she wasn’t actually that strong. However, the strength and abilities she had now were enough to make her part of the top one percent in the Myriad realms.
