Chapter 292: The choice 04
Then Azul wave one of his finger and Azief and Azul were teleported in a dead planet.
There is only dust and ashes around them. It was a dead planet, with nothing alive that could be felt. Azief sense it the death aura that pervaded this entire star system.
Azief then look around him and he saw Azul.
Azul now appears before Azief the same size as him and not as gigantic as before. He looks young, dashing with red long hair that reaches his shoulders.
He was lean toned ta all the right muscles and looking regal and emanated an aura of majesty that could not be replicated.
‘Follow my movements!’ Azul shouted without any explanations
Azul move his index finger and Azief follow it.
‘Heaven Sundering Finger!’ Azief immediately recognize the energy that is converging on the index finger.
But now seeing Azul there is a movement that he must have do to make this finger power multiplied several fold.
‘The way I was using it was wrong!’ Azief thought to himself.
Seeing Azul using the Heaven Sundering Finger is of course different than Azief doing it. After all, the one is the originator while Azief on the other hand is just inheriting his legacy.
With each movement of Azief finger it stimulates the energy in his body. Especially the Demonic Energy and the Celestial energy in his body were particularly affected like a thirsty dragon finding a sea to drink on.
The movement is like the thirsty dragon and his energy is the sea. His energy was drained in an unprecedented fashion.
Thankfully he has the All Source Disk that enables him to convert the other energy to those two energies.
Then Azul pointed his finger and Azief follows.
ROAR!
The Heavens roar and the gray clouds of this planet seem to change color to blood red and there seems to be something ferocious above the sky, raging at the starry skies.
Then Azul pointed his finger forward and Azief follows.
A heaven sundering auras comes out. And the Heavens of this world howl in pain, sundering it, bringing it down.
Azul has restrained his power. If not the entire star system and even the nearby universe will be affected.
But the effect of two people doing the same spell is of course devastating.
It slashes everything around them causing the Laws around them to lose their control over the concept they manage.
The energy around them all seems to be in chaos, in imbalance and messing up the natural order.
But Azul shouted
‘Even in chaos there is some order! Sunder the Heavens so a new heaven could sprout! Sow them and then reap them’
He shouted.
‘Understand this and your Heaven Sundering Finger will become even more powerful’
Azief nodded his eyes shines with new understanding of the heaven Sundering Finger.
Azul did not stop his teachings. This time he executes another finger movement. Azul pointed his thumb and Azief just followed. The aura around Azul synchronized with Azief.
In this dead planet this two person look like they were one and the same.
The trials while it is for Azul, it is also set up so that those who help him would be worthy of his legacy and his spells.
The trials also are set as to prepare the fated person to accept his teachings.
After all it is not easy to practice or even master Azul spells.
But because Azief have passed the six trials, living Azul lives for six lifetimes, the magic and the movement comes naturally and even Azief is synchronizing with Azul.
The moment Azul pointed his thumb out, a gushing life energy comes out of him, like a tsunami, the waves of life force emanated out from his body and wrapped the entire planet.
The entire world seems to shakes. The light coming out of his thumb causes the entire dead planet to be bursting with life.
It is the Life Giving Finger! Azief remarked. Once again he was enlightened, his eyes shines golden. One of the effect of his Undying physique, it also enhance his perception when seeing things.
However Azief have never seen that effect when he deals with other people. He even thought it was just a scam.
Now, he understands.
It means enhancing his perception to spells. The moment he saw Azul executing his finger movement, his eyes turn golden eye s and like a new vistas of truth opened for him.
He quickly understand and memorized Azul finger movement and the energy flow around Azul, the energy flow that comes out of him and the energy flow that is used from him.
He sees all this and in seeing it he understand it. In this planet, there is only death.
There are no plants and no life. So, that finger of Azul created life force. The rocks, the dust, even gained enlightenment.
And then they evolved.
It was like Time wrapped around them, around these dead things and like the process of withering and destruction was reverted, the dust turns to a patch of grass.
From the ashes, small creatures jump out. The rocks with its life force did the impossible and gained sentience.
With another swipe of his finger the life that has taken roots disappeared, their life force absorbed. But with another swipe life returns.
The entire world was revived and the creatures being resurrected.
‘Life and Death is just an illusion. Let them flow naturally like an open sea, let it passes by you and then your Will will create Life, your anger will bring Death. Sever the Covetous Heart and everything is clear!’
Azief have to understand it for himself.
Then Azul swipe his finger again. This time Azul and Azief is on a different planet. Or maybe an entirely different Universe all together.
‘Look!’ Azul said to Azief as he pointed toward a person in the distance. Azief looked and he realized that this person was Azul
‘That was me in the past when I fought another Celestial Race. Look how I executed the Divine Slayer Finger’
Azief look. He saw Azul uses the energy that is on the tip of his pinky finger and then shoot it out.
‘Follow the finger movements’ Azul said to Azief and Azief immediately listens.
BOOOM!
When the energy from Azul pinky finger shoots out, the entire starry skies trembles. A few planets hundreds of years away cracked.
The entire asteroid belt near their battle site exploded into nothingness.
The small red light coming out of that pinky finger now turns into a gigantic saber with an aura that could destroy all existence, the bane of anything divine and holy.
That illusory image of the gigantic saber it sweeps through all the celestial race that numbered around millions and they all turns into atoms before even that form is being disintegrated into nothingness merging with the darkness of space.
With one finger, Azul eradicated a millions of soldiers. There was only emptiness and silence in the starry skies after that.
‘The Divine Slaying Finger is a move I created to kill anything Divine. Any divinity they have while invincible against any other moves under this technique of mine, none of them could stand even one touch!’ Azul said proudly and arrogantly.
Though Azief agree that Azul had the right to be arrogant.
After all on Earth Azief himself could be considered arrogant to the extreme. But Azief knows. It is not arrogance. It is self-confidence. Azul, this ancient being in front of him is confident with his prowess.
Azief remember the finger movement and he vowed to enhance his perception of these technique when he returns back to Earth
Azul close his eyes and the entire past scape distorted and now Azief and Azul is at a different place on space.
‘This is the Star Shattering Finger! Watch!’ Azul said
He then proceeded to take the energy on his middle finger and shoot it out with a waving movement.
The force of that energy causes the stars, asteroids, and all the planets nearby to spirals. They keep spiraling and spiraling faster and faster like a water spiral.
And when that energy from Azul finger reaches that spiral it was like someone stirs the spiral into chaos.
Then a shockwave that travelled to millions of light years away occurs creating something akin of the Big Bang.
A chain explosion sounded out as all the stars, the planets, the asteroids all exploded in sequence of entering the spiral.
It exploded like a fireworks in summer, beautiful, ephemeral and brief.
The energy of all this destruction then shoot out back to Azul and it was absorbed into Azul body.
Azul look at Azief and then he explains even as a new Universe is about to form because of the explosions.
‘The star shattering Finger is to destroy stars and took their destructive power to wreak even more havoc and destruction. The core essence of this technique is destruction. But extreme destruction will always bring about adverse effect’ And Azul smiles before he added
‘It will bring about creation’
Azief eyes shines even more as he could feel his Seeds seem to thrums with life. The Disk on his body also rotates faster and faster.
Thinking about it Azief remember that this ability come to him after he passes the Hell trials. Azief expected Azul to continue his lesson but Azul did not teleport or did anything else.
Azul did not continue. He looks at Azief for a while and then he smiles bitterly.
‘I guess….you already mastered the Destiny Severing Finger.’
There were many meaning in it. Only Azief and Azul know what that means. Azul after all knows that the Desire Trial and the Blissful State Trials were different than the others.
Azief smiles bitterly.
‘I did master it. It is the hardest thing to do…yet when you do it you are free’
Azul nodded solemnly.
‘Depends on what you sever’ Azief nodded back. Azul sighed.
‘The Destiny Severing Finger differs in application depending on who masters it. In some other people hands it could cut more than just Destiny and Divine Sense’
‘Because the heart determines’ Azief added. Azul nodded and smile.
‘True’ he replies.
‘It could slash reality, overturning fates and destiny, cut Timelines and….’Azul smirks a bit before he continues
‘It could even cut Creation and Destruction. Of course, this…even I could not do this’
‘Then I have to find my own path on the Destiny Severing Finger?’ Azief asked. Azul nodded.
‘Now, the last move’
‘Which finger?’ Azief ask
And then looking at Azief hands, and Azief looking at him, Azul knows what Azief was about to say.
‘I know humans have five finger other than a few that have six fingers which is rare but not uncommon.’
‘Then?’
‘The last one is a palm attack. It is called the World Cleaving Palm’ Azul said.
‘Let me show you the pinnacle of this technique!’ And Azul blows Azief with his breath.
Then the area around them distorted and they appear in space on a different Universe.
