Void Evolution System

Chapter 1597 Awakening [1]

That moment was a lot more significant than Damien realized.

The Dark God influenced the world greatly when he exerted his force. Things changed, though nobody was able to notice them, and though those changes were contained within the Sacred Abyss Universe, they were reflected in the Heavenly World and even beyond.

His energy was strong and incredibly coercive. Even if he didn't have a direct impact on the workings of the True Void Universe, it couldn't help but be perturbed by his release of power.

Not many people felt it. Not many were capable of feeling it in the first place, and those who were had no way of making out what exactly it was.

But there were two beings.

Two beings who were heavily impacted by the "awakening" of the Dark God's power after so many years.

***

Tiamat began her awakening long ago.

Flashes of history flickered through her mind, and her Legend began to change.

The power that she'd accumulated throughout her life reacted wildly to the aura of the Sacred Abyss Universs, and as she stayed there for longer periods of time, the feeling only got stronger.

Tiamat found her way back there a while back. Finding the end of the images in her head was more important to her than anything else, because those things were clues about her origins.

She never really cared about where she was from or what she was. She had always been so focused on everything else that she put aside such a primal desire.

However, as she found time to herself and a supportive atmosphere, the desire to completely uncover everything and understand herself became inescapable.

She hadn't found much.

When her thoughts cleared and the shadowy figures within became more visible, she thought the most obvious conclusion was the right one.

She was related to the Dark God.

But that…

'It's not true.'

Her soul rejected the idea. It was like she was an eagle, and a relation to someone like the Dark God was a cage. They simply didn't mesh.

However, she was certain that the Dark God was somehow related to the mysteries behind her existence.

Tiamat wanted to search for these things, so she'd been living on True Void World with the Gehenna Tribe. She trained here and grew considerably in strength, reaching a level near Godhood, and she searched the world for answers.

Life had been unfortunate for her. It seemed like no clues existed outside of her own mind, and those clues only revealed themselves when they felt like it.

If she wanted to search…

Wasn't it just impossible?

That was what she thought until that day.

Damien came to the Sacred Abyss Universe somehow and spread havoc to every corner of the planet.

Tiamat and Thalia watched his progress from the Gehenna territory. They saw as he destroyed every enemy in his path, and they basked in the deathly light of those massive explosions that had torn apart this world.

They were present as the world began to change into something completely different, but Damien never came to see them.

Of course, he was likely planning to check on this place later, but what was he doing now?

As that thought swept through her mind, Tiamat suddenly felt a change.

VOOOOOOOM!

A massive energy wave struck the True Void World and bounced off of the worldwide barriers that protected it.

VOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The wave was incessant, getting stronger and stronger by the second.

Nobody else seemed to notice it. Tiamat spread her awareness, and all she saw was people living their lives like usual.

However, every time that energy struck the barrier, Tiamat's body instinctively jerked.

Something within her was getting stirred.

WHOOOOOSH!

Her head snapped to the sky as she felt a portion of the energy make its way through the barrier.

It showered the world, causing no change at all, but when it passed through the walls around her and touched her body…

Tiamat's head snapped back. Her eyes rolled back in her head as her body floated into the air without the aid of mana.

The flashes started again.

She was swallowed by her mind, forced to witness scene after scene that she simply couldn't understand.

'Birth…life…coronation…'

She mumbled unconsciously, her words containing no sense of rationality.

But that was what she saw.

A scene of two boys being born.

A scene of them living.

And a scene of coronation.

She saw a world that didn't exist anymore, and a scene that was so far in the past that barely anyone still remembered it.

The energy within her body trembled as it was influenced by the strange force descending from the sky.

Tiamat's body was becoming…complete?

That was how it looked. Her skin gained a new luster, her energy gained an unreasonable purity, and her soul was cleansed.

Though, it did become darker.

'The Dark God…'

She saw him, but he was not the one she was looking at.

There was someone else.

The scenes in Tiamat's head didn't make any sense from the start. They didn't flow chronologically, nor did they have any sound. Tiamat was forced to try and understand them by watching what was happening and assuming the context.

She saw the Dark God, but she wasn't sure if she was actually seeing him. She couldn't be sure of whether he was actually in the scene or not, and even if he was, she couldn't tell where he was or what he was doing.

All she saw was his energy.

And another energy next to it.

Those two were like polar opposites. They had the potential to be harmonious, but they could never be together without chaos.

Tiamat's attention was entirely focused on those two energies. The scene she was witnessing faded into the background as they took up her entire perception.

One was light, and one was darkness. One was order, and one was chaos.

Yet, they were both darkness. They were both chaos.

Her mind felt like it was breaking as she tried to comprehend even a little bit of what was happening.

And on the outside, her body's changes became far more pronounced.

The soul was a mysterious thing. It took a very long time for people to gain the ability to sense it, and it took even longer to gain control over it.

But changing it was a completely different matter.

The soul would grow and change as it pleased, but to consciously influence that change…? Most Gods still had trouble with it.

But Gods had the qualifications to try.

There were several factors that were taken into consideration before an individual could be considered on the cusp of Godhood.

It was almost like a checklist that needed to be completed.

And at the top of that checklist, the most important step…

A change in the soul, the etching of a qualification.

When the cosmos deemed a Divinity worthy of challenging the peak level, it would give them a stamp of approval that would allow them to meet the remaining criteria.

As Tiamat was drowned in foreign memories, her soul changed, and that qualification appeared.

Her mind and spirit were being shattered, but something about that energy she saw was the key.

Perhaps, at the end of this road, there weren't just answers.

Maybe…True Godhood was waiting for her too.
