The dark world , a war zone created by a powerful entity . The laws of it are remarkable it piles up a lot . But to summarizes :
Nonsentience law - anything can be born in this world but it will not have sentience meaning they act like a program following their instincts and code .
Invitation of the evil and strong - Kindness , innocence , weakness are a nuisance to the entity so this law is to filter those who have the potential of a strong and indomitable will and a cruel heart that will not falter in inflicting harm .
Endless - there will not be an end only rebirth to continue the soul as it obtains a new power . Even with the complete eradication of the soul or sentience , the law will remain absolute bringing them back the same person as if they woke up from sleep .
A portal opens as the entity tries to reject person and drag in those who opened the portal " Argh I ruined my chance to obtain more fighters I haven't seen anything foreign for the past few centuries "
It looked at the person and sighs ' If I throw her out it will be bad if they misunderstand me as merciful ' " So this is the dark world " the entity suddenly felt a change in the soul that it never knew was possible ' How ? My developed laws can sense and invite the cruel and strong but why is it reacting to her ? '
Ceza smiles feeling two gazes ' Since I'm in the dark world I don't need to act anymore ' she heard a figure who landed at a duel distance looking at her " Finally a new visitor " Ceza points two fingers at the figure " Huh what are you doing ? "
" A criminal who kidnapped countless and subject them to experiments with the reason to attain immortality but failed . Which caused you to die " the figure smiled and pointed a sharp blade to Ceza " Kyaha there were some who figured out who I am and you are the most powerless one to know "
" But that doesn't mean I will lose " Tarus saw a sewing machine on pointing a needle at Ceza's fingers " Mommy what are you doing ? " a different voice was heard by both of them .
Since Tarus was an inhabitant of the dark world it could feel the soul thanks to the endless law but what it saw was something akin to emotions , memories , but yet it was as if Ceza acting like a mother but she maintained her self .
A sewing machine appeared on Tarus's fingers but the terrifying manifestation didn't end yet , the manifestation multiplied surrounding its body and Tarus couldn't see outside .
The sewing machine overlapped its sight and then heard " Ow " a needle prick on Ceza's finger which caused all of the sewing machine to prick all over Tarus's body " AAHHH " Tarus felt blood leaving at the many holes if it's body ' Impossible how did she break my defense ? '
" You must be wondering how your years of research lose to my attack right " Tarus struggled to open its eyes cause the pain prevented it from opening its eyes " Well I'll explain when you loss your will "
Ceza smiles walking to Tarus but the entity was smiling watching the dangerous ability of Ceza .
" A defense penetrating attack that allows you to do whatever you want with the enemy whether it is to kill , incapacitate their ability to do anything and take victory to her hands ... But such power is too dangerous and doesn't fit the battlefield I'll send more and make sure they kill her . "
The entity moved all the resurrection points near the gates of the dark world " Come on hurry up and kill her soul , her everything so she will no longer appear " the entity had developed its laws to the extreme leaving its world became harder as it developed and so did the endless law .
' Hmm so the god behind this world is watching ' Ceza smiles throwing the finishing blow at Tarus's spirit making it lose all motivation to do anything ' But now what are they gonna do ? ' she fling a spear to a target as something spawns over there and the spear impaled its body . Then the rest of the spear was thrown .
It could see the terrors of war and felt the pain given to the merciless commander who the opponent used to be before going into the dark world " That's a reminder ... " the commander smiles " I've been looking for the one who did this to me for years and have tried to escape this accursed world to get to you "
' I must've replicated the commander's death too precisely ' " Sorry but you got the wrong person " Ceza made a spear and the entity saw it " NO !? This spear has images instead of a single color ! She's dangerous I have never felt so much accuracy like this or seen this power "
' Someone's afraid it feels like they're wanting to get rid of me ' Ceza flung the spear to the commander and then looked at the rest ' I can't waste my time ' she raised her hands and a single pulse spread from her as the center revealing rain dripping down .
" Goodbye " " You lost " " Happy death anniversary " she spread the feelings which made all of them lose their selves momentarily " Dang it she is destroying their will to do anything ... I need to make a new law or else she will dominate the dark world "
The entity panicked and hurried the creation of another law which was to prevent her from getting close to it ' Even though death numbs your feelings it will only make it easier to hurt you ' Ceza smiles walking to each opponent stabbing them with grief and regret .
She immobilized their will which made them stay without moving since they lack the motivation to do so . It was like having pained feet but being unable to drop your body because you have a feeling it will be a painful to do so .
' First I need to find the war-crazed thing of the dark world then to my plans ' Ceza looked at an inhabitant and gave it a light poke on the head ' Good thing this is the oldest of the bunch '
She focuses on its soul and peeked deeper to look for any memories of the entity that invited them ' Found you ' she smiles as she feels the fear of the entity marking its location ' It must be afraid '
The entity panicked feeling its past self being seen ' I have to hurry ' Ceza looked in a certain direction and matched the entity's viewpoint ' Found you " the entity heard from Ceza's voice which made it panic more .
" S*** s*** s*** I need to leave I better hope she is trapped by my laws " the entity saw an opportunity where Ceza was leaving the dark world gates and teleported to the gates looking at it like it was hope " She is too dangerous I must leave or I'll suffer a worse fate than death "
" Your right but you already are " the entity opened its visual ability to see Ceza's eyes staring right at it " The eyes are windows to the soul which makes it easier to influence " her eyes was too close but from her pupils , the entity couldn't understand what she was from it .
" What are you ? " " You'll find out " she pricked the entity with a rose stem and watched as it bloomed
[ Dreams of the past and present ]
Ceza woke up from the dream and smiles " found you " she got up from the bed and stretches looking around her room feeling the tremor ' A new fighter , that entity would've been very happy too bad there was no chance for it to even remember after so much pain . '
Ceza leaves the house and throws the source outside opening the gates again now that she has taken in enough to be able to use it properly " Hmm this presence is familiar ... a fallen "
" Just what I needed a species deeply connected to the soul and their own morals " Ceza chuckles as she looked at the weakened former celestial who became a fallen " What say rebel ? "
" Cross " " The one and only mortal who can beat gods while she's weak " " You need to help I failed the rebellion and now I am dying " " Maybe you're not " Ceza poked Cifher at the head and he received all of the necessary information .
" I told you didn't I if you remain evil like this you will end up here " Cifher knew what was Ceza's goal and spread his tattered wings ' Fly little bat ' Ceza looked at the new weapon she obtained from Rab's despair of realizing its actions .
A cruel set of events Ceza tortured it and sent it to a stimulation . If that wasn't enough she made it do whatever it wants only that it has less power . She made a kind person help when Rab was a slave and when they had a child she erased a portion of its memory temporarily .
And then showed it pain of killing its own child when in reality it killed the child with joy while the other parent cried in horror ' Nothing hurts more than watching yourself do something you don't want to do '
She turned the feeling into a dagger and fling it to Cifher ' Wonder how you will be affected ' Cifher got hit and fell as the dagger sunk into his soul . And the feeling occupied its soul as if it had a love and did the same thing as Rab , regretting the same action and falling down weakened .
" Ugh " " You have fallen another time " Ceza said jokingly " So why not tell me where it is ? " " I won't let you beat me to it " Cifher was fighting the suffocating feeling Ceza threw at him .
" I was just asking to make it easier to get to them " Ceza opened her palm and gas that can be seen by those who have higher sense of soul appeared showing what Ceza saw in the dream and the blooming of a flower .
" That's right the rose that the little angel gave me she was so kind and naive a young innocent child who gave a poor beggar like me a flower to sprout . She was so kind ... but yet you killed her " she watched as a dagger appeared on Cifher .
' Betrayal ' the scene of the young girl's corpse on the ground and then the scene where Ceza announced how much she cared for the small child appeared on the dagger " Don't worry I am just trying to learn to make my soul stop it from being attached to one appearance "
" You can't do that with me " " Did I ever say I was going to do so ? All those years I spent in the dark world I have been learning a few skills to help me and now after the first night after seclusion I have finally got what I need "
She touched Cipher and he turned to see her appearance changing very quickly with a hundred face swaps every second " Not bad though you can't handle my soul's strength " Cifher gasped for air as his stamina was drained due to Ceza temporarily linking their souls so she can copy the ability of his species .
Viewpoint of self - Cifher's species are split between two the fallen and the honored . The fallen are like criminals and the honored are like samaritans who helped others . Each is supported by their own nature or self as a person .
The reason why Ceza wants the ability is to be able to show people her nature which she is able to control . Her attacks are only effective to those who can see the soul as her attacks are based on emotions that have a strong connection to the soul and mind . Taking the Viewpoint can allow her to reveal them so she can harvest more weapons .
" I really don't like to use this kind of brainwashing but I can rest it " she manifested a blade with images of the event relating to the emotions used on it " So start with simple pain " She stabbed Cifher to make him pass out from the intense pain " Wasn't expecting much " she sent him to prison and called Rab with a portal .
" Rab come out " Rab looked at her and walked out as its stomach rumbled " What a nice weapon you have there " Rab thought of it as Ceza giving it a warning and fell to its knees cowering with its head down " That's a nice behaviour " Ceza smiles as she pats its back while pulling out a film of images that records its hunger .
Which rid of the stinging pain of hunger from Rab but the fix was temporary " Hey Rab do you know why I made you do that ? " Rab was clueless at her questions and Ceza sighed " You really can't see " she played with the film as she wrapped it into a short dagger and stabbed Rab " Fine I'll make myself clear "
Rab has weakened again from hunger and Ceza started to talk " Do you know why I told you to kill your own offspring " Rab froze thinking about the offspring it had in the simulation " N-no " she smiled watching Rab's soul and continued .
" I wanted to show you , you see that test was like a child deciding to do the dishes but didn't want to do it now that someone told them to do it , something so simple twisted into something even more horrifying "
Rab slowly caught up to what Ceza said " You killed your child happily because you wanted to do it but hated it and was hurt because you were forced to do it " Ceza smiled as she watched Rab crying .
" So now what will it be ... do you want to be my puppet and do my bidding while being hurt constantly like your murder ... or would you like to have free will and walk your dark path never being able to feel the love ? "
Rab shivered as it thought of all the joy it was forced into and the joy inside the simulation " To prove it use this " Ceza made a copy of the films of the pain Rab felt and wrapped the film on a dagger like a tape " Here are all the subjects you should stab " Rab looked at the prisoners and Ceza also took out a film from Rab to repeat the process to the next prisoner .
Ceza smiles as she copied out more films from Rab using them to make the target dream of what happened to Rab and waking up to see a knife to use to follow Ceza's command as they willingly give up control to Ceza .
To gain something they desire without any control or to be free and become something they hate , she did quite a convenient way of brainwashing using their free will to give her control .
...
" Cross that power of yours isn't like mine " " Really , How did you know ? " " When you revealed it . It's not like mine that attacks the soul and yours is more effective " now that you got here time to explain the power they are using in detail .
This power is very useful in brainwashing . It's basically like empathy but forced to the target desired by the user .
" Yeah I made it because it's hard for someone to understand you , conditions aren't the hard part to go take care of misunderstandings will happen too . There is also a language barrier , it breaks the mood and the other person wouldn't be able to understand them . "
" Sounds painful " " Also like parents and child the parents only understand the stress of surviving the war and crossing borders and finally the child is burdened by the complicated society built by peace . They even have a different perspective , the child thinks that the parents did a lot and are grateful but the parents think that the child stressing over school was ridiculous and they were the ungrateful one "
" I can see the pain in that even though I'm not the child " " Hmm you're right , but pain like that is nothing compared to being unable to feel the love they desperately want , to never feel that life again is surely painful . " " How do you know ? "
" I don't I just think that way . Even if a person is walking fine with that burden that person knows well that being unable to communicate with their parents is blocking them . And that person makes his pain look easy without telling all of the truth "
" But that kind of truth hurts , so what did they do ? " Ceza smiled wickedly " He hid it , kept quiet about and put on the perfect mask to fool everyone even himself . Faking a rebellious phase , lying to everyone he knows . To the point that they don't care about the pain that the pain stays deep inside their heart "
Ceza looks up smiling about to laugh " Changing into different people at the same time hiding their pain behind a mask for others to take off . Waiting to see their faces when they found the real him " " And can you draw it " Ceza smiled at Justin's request .
" He will wear wings of scraps held down by cuffs chain to things called expectations , powerless , sensitive heart , hesitation , society and denial " Justin looks at Ceza as she twisted her personality to match the person " It hurts so much but that's why this is the best upbringing "
" To part with the ability to love or care does hurt " Ceza smirked and her eyes soon became soulless " Unless that person decides to love again to hurt themselves more " she laughed and Justin sighs .
...
Rab returns very quickly to see itself inside a surgery room " Rab would you be a dear and lay yourself on the table ? " Ran smiles internally and lays itself on the table as a piece of cloth covered its eyes and its ears plugged .
" Hehehe , I always wanted to do this ? " Ceza created a blade to brainwash Rab revealing its soul " Let's see , disobedience has to go "
Ceza was doing surgery on the soul basically used to brainwash them by adding fake emotions she has been gathering " Obedience , fear , understanding of position , puppy love " she made a smile brainwashing the poor child whose mind she was breaking into pieces .
" Justin would hate it but so what he will always blame you " Ceza smiled cutting off unwanted emotions taking out hate for her and strengthening various other emotions injecting syringes of the same emotion .
" You wouldn't even remember who you are but your knowledge and experience of battle and studies should stay " she dissected Rab's knowledge to reduce it to only convenience such as its space-related abilities " But since you're easy to experiment I'll make you more useable "
She injected more knowledge of battle and experience while keeping Rab's emotional states unaffected by its emotions " Caging a Phoenix is the best " her wide smile contributed to the degrading surgery .
" I'm looking forward to future development " Ceza added more willingness to listen to her and hesitation so she can poke at " Identity slave and with the control you gave up " she manifested the control Rab agreed to give her in the form of puppet strings .
" What a nice toy I have " she was smiling looking at Rab's beautiful soul soiled with fear of plenty of things concerning Ceza " Of all you can do was to housekeeping you would be useless " she was too happy to care about Rab's decaying and starving body and give it a little strength enough so it doesn't look ugly .
" First I'll throw you out " she took Rab's body throwing it out of her house as she remodels everything back " Now a thunder to wake you up " thunder struck and Rab woke up as tears welled in its eyes .
' Oh no ' it thought as the rain poured making its body cold " Stay out of my house you'll see how painful it is " the words coursed through its mind and Rab looked at a lamppost that light the dark worldand crawled to it with a hungry stomach .
It hugged its knees and clothes ' At least I have something to wear ' Rab shook at the cold and Ceza smiles as she takes out the emotional pain " Abandonment " Ran could hear her bladed words and felt the pain stab deeper .
" Haha it works " Ceza was glad and so was Rab when it heard her laugh , it was a bad laugh but Rab was only happy that she was ' Good thing Justin was someone he hates or he won't even let me touch one of their emotions ' she ate a meal and watched Cifher in his prison .
She smiled and walked to his door using a portal with some distance between her and his cell . She held on something as she distorted her memories . All the people she killed turned to his species bought the fallen and the honored .
She stood in front of the door and like an abuser to their prisoner she knocked with the same tone " Are you trying to escape ? " she made a soft smile as Cifher was shaking looking at the small exit she ade obvious , he slowly replied " N-no " " You shouldn't lie "
Cifher was still as a rock and Ceza opened the door " Since the surgery was a success I can just take out your memories and leave you with fake ones " Cifher narrowed his eyes in anger while she took notice " Careful now " she held a scalpel staring at Cifher .
" I don't want to mess up either " Slash
...
Justin looked in the mirror and used his soul sight to see many swords stabbing him , chains attached to heavy metal balls and his mouth and eyes sealed shut ' It doesn't even feel like it's there '
Some emotions appear so frequently it doesn't feel like it's there . There were a few items benefiting his negative emotions . These items are what allow him to use his emotions to fight physically and some other techniques that eat his rage .
To him this was no backlash at all since he was too used to those emotions he doesn't feel it but his soul shows that he does have rage . He was opposite to Ceza so used to the pain he doesn't feel it when his soul is crying Ceza was so sensitive it would drive anyone to an abyss .
Too bad she's not just anyone or she wouldn't have willingly walked in staring at the abyss smiling as if to mock it " You twisted your mind and memories to get that strong but I wonder why you didn't kill them "
With Ceza's pain , she could use that pain to force anyone into suicide as they no longer have the will to live . But she went extreme and got rid of their will " Are you planning to turn them into mindless dolls ? " Justin couldn't feel disgust , fear or anything .
" But how long until you can do that ? You have too many enemies now that you left that hell you call heaven " Justin has been keeping tabs on many otherworldly creatures who Ceza targets to reduce them " Emotions are a strong thing it drove a god to die willingly at the hands of a weak godslayer . "
He knows what emotions do to people , it drives them like a car and they might die in a car accident . A seeker of the truth went crazy as they received incomprehensible knowledge due to having their fear raised from the painful truth .
" Only so much but you must be targeting that monster first ? " he was wrong but if Ceza only has his information she would take that monster first .
...
Ceza smiles looking at Cifher's memories ' Time to claim my prize ' she was heading to find the ability of Cifher's species and make it her own " Portal please " she walked out to a plane a mixture of hell and heaven .
" Intruder " Ceza equipped her weapons as the plane gave her weapons visuals to the fallen and honored " Angels and demons what do you have for me " she smiled and pulls out a spear from her scars and flung it out as the pain impaled through a soldier .
Pain like the real thing makes Ceza's attacks easy to execute for her especially when she is using the pain of the real thing " Gah " Ceza smiles seeing them in pain and pulled out a dagger from her head and let it spread like a swarm and stabs through the heads as they fly .
Emotions are easy to feel like the air being poisoned , someone destroying a good and calm atmosphere can easily spread the disturbance which causes those nearby to feel it " Being strong and never losing to the weak gives you quite the shock "
She said walking calmly as her enemies were groaning from the pain " Maybe you're not so strong after all " she formed a ball of fear and raised it to pollute the battlefield with fear freezing all of the soldiers while one hero stood still " Fear is scary isn't it but it is useful , fearing poison means dodging death by poison "
She continued to talk to herself as the atmosphere got colder , but no matter in this plane she can exercise her weapons to the greatest degree . A ghost that can't be seen but could emit fear to anyone near it is now visible .
" Banshee " her imbued words manifested a white faced woman's head with her hair stretching out " AAEEAAAA " the scream was set as a warning " Death is coming " immortal beings are most afraid of death once there was certainty " Now behave so I won't kill you "
Ceza had the feeling that she was the grim reaper herself . But she was their jailer herself forcing the reaper to kill itself constantly and robbing its identity away like putting on a mask she carved out of its body .
" So listen to me where did you put it ? " she asked the single hero who managed to stand despite the fear " Over there " but she ain't in some fairytale " Thank you " Ceza pulled out a dagger from the hero's head and walked to an area and smiles .
She brings out the death reaper who no longer has any identity " Kill " the soldiers quickly dead but during that time death was different than a normal death . It was like a child killing a dog because they were forced to like this moment when they felt that their reaper feared Ceza .
" Cifher was right about this place " Ceza already knew the location she just wanted to test out whether the plane is supported by the crown buried under . Ceza smiles and takes the crown putting it on her as her soul represented itself turning Ceza's body and granting her knowledge relating to the crown .
" So this isn't some angel and devil scam . It's dreams and nightmares " Ceza smiles knowing that dreams and nightmares are fantasies generated from emotions , knowledge and experience .
" Of dreams and nightmares what a beautiful name for me . After all most of what I do can be seen as a fantasy " Ceza could hear the emotions of people as the crown change " But I love roses more , so beautiful but painful to touch "
The crown changed for her vision " How about black and white ? " the crown turned to feathers suiting Ceza desires " Okay that's enough " she messed her mind back to normal as the crown changed into its initial form with gold and silvers , diamond and precious stones stained with dust .
" It is nice to wear it but this just won't do " the crown slowly pierced through her soul as she resonates with it using her soul as a catalyst " Now that's better " she looked at her hands which matches the grim reaper's .
" Time to leave I already got what I wanted " Ceza appears inside the dark world in her house and checks herself in the mirror " I do look like the grim reaper " she "takes off" the mask of the grim reaper revealing herself in the form of a human girl .
" Huh I have the same height but just no scars " she could feel emotional support from the planet she first stepped on after leaving the dark world ' Care from that saintess , I wouldn't return anyway . ' she was using her resonance with the crown to feel many emotions actively .
This would allow her to strengthen her combat and versatility ' I should get myself even more stronger dolls to own ' she felt the emotions of many sleeping monsters and chooses one for target .
...
" Daddy I got prey " a little monster showed a single parent the prey it got from its hunt " Good job , now bring it over here to cook " Ceza smiles looking at the memory and changed it .
" How about promise " the last memory of the father losing to death was changed to Ceza intervening " I'll be back for you " Ceza smiles as the change in that memory caused changes in the other memories sparking rage in her target .
" Now to finish this fake promise " Ceza walks to a cave where the monster slept , it isn't a dragon , a demon , an alchemist's experiment or a machine . It's an emotion entity the embodiment of fear .
Ceza could see why its creator wanted to take its place . Emotions of fear last forever and the creator absorbed it into their body so they can achieve eternal life . After all , emotions are eternal , but fusing causes the creator to die since they only brought in the embodiment and erased their memories but didn't have the mental strength .
' It doesn't even remember but since this is the case then it will be much easier to brainwash it ' amidst any chaos is a weak link that stops it all Ceza had to do was find it deep inside its forgotten memories .
" Wake up I'm here to fulfill the promise I'll make " she heard a quick gasp " YOU ! " the words were with great fear as the emotion roared " I told you I'll come back for you didn't I ? "
Her cognitive senses could see the chaos inside their memories " You killed daddy " " Still a daddy's baby " it didn't attack her since according to its memories it didn't train for a battle only thought of the memories of hating Ceza .
This caused it to imbue fear in its voice making Ceza feel like a helpless child in front of a monster who could eat her " Too bad I'm used to it " she continued to walk as rage to murder her was emitted by the monster .
" You killed him !! " " I did and you couldn't do anything " Ceza made sure to get the most out of this experiment taunting her opponent every chance she gets as they walked back without noticing .
" You couldn't even take a peek closing your eyes and in fear of watching him die " Ceza starts to plague it using its memories " You hid from me " a quick memory flashed in the perspective like a running man with a heavy breathes .
" You stumbled on a rock " the man tripped as per Ceza's narration " Fell on mud disregarding your state as fear and anger took control of you , you continued to run as you slowed down "
The speed of the run slowed " Then you heard dear daddy's scream " Ceza smiles as she sense its anger raise " But you don't even know what your dear dad do to you ? "
" Huh " Ceza stopped emitting the same mood as she erased herself from its memories and restored all of its old memories " That human dare " the embodiment of fear no longer forgets and remembers what its "dad" do .
' Rage of a higher being and rage of a weak child . I wonder what happens if I use those as catalyst . ' the plan Ceza has was to fuse the personalities of two beings with many difference but one which was the same such as their rage .
The perfect subject would be a crazy man but she only needs two personalities to test it out . What more convenient subject would a being be if higher status was reduced to a lowly body of an animal .
