Beneath the Ground
Julius stood at the edge of the enormous opening that had appeared beneath the First World. The darkness below did not look like an ordinary abyss. There was no visible bottom, and yet Julius could sense something waiting far beneath them, something so old that even the laws surrounding the First World seemed to bend around its presence. Behind him, the others were still recovering from the attack.Gabriel had regained enough strength to stand, although Adrian refused to let him move without support. Dark Julius had managed to close most of the wound in his abdomen, but the injury had taken more from him than he wanted anyone to know. Cael was watching the abyss with an expression Julius had never seen on his face before which was the Fear of Recognition.Julius turned toward him, “You know what's down there”Cael remained silent for a moment before answering, “I know what I remember”“Then tell me” Julius asked Cael looked at Kael, that single glance told Julius more than the words
Complicated Choice 2
Julius released his power, gor one terrifying moment, nothing happened. The ancient woman watched him with the same calm expression, almost as though she had been waiting for this exact decision. Around them, the First World remained frozen in the middle of its attack. Gabriel was still on one knee, blood spreading from the black wound across his chest, Adrian struggled to keep him conscious while Dark Julius leaned heavily against a broken structure, his breathing uneven. Cael's hand was pressed against the wound in his chest, and even Kael had been forced down onto one knee. Noah was the only one Julius had managed to completely shield but Julius could feel all of them. Their pain, fear, fading strength and something else.The First World was trying to make him believe that saving everyone was impossible.Julius closed his eyes, “No”The word was quiet, but the world heard i, “I don't accept that”The ancient woman frowned, “You cannot deny the structure of this place”“I've denied
Delicated Situation
The moment Julius stepped into the First World, he knew something was wrong.There was no welcoming silence. No strange cosmic light or anything ancient voice explaining what they had entered, there was only pain.Julius stopped so abruptly that Kael nearly walked into him, “Don’t move”Adrian looked around, then asked, “what is it?”Julius didn't answer immediately. He could feel something beneath his feet. It was not an energy, not magic, just a heartbeat which was slow, massive and disturbingly familiar.The ground beneath them pulsed once and the entire group was thrown apart. Julius managed to remain standing, but Gabriel was hurled several meters across the strange white landscape and crashed against a wall that had not existed a second earlier.“Gabriel!” Adrian rushed toward him.Gabriel tried to stand, but his left leg buckled beneath him“I'm fine,” he muttered through clenched teeth.“You're bleeding” Adrian murmuredGabriel looked down, he saw a thin black line had appeare
Trust
Everyone else seemed ready to leave the collapsing realm, but he remained where he was, his eyes fixed on Cael.“Before we go anywhere, there is something we need to settle” Julius said,Cael looked at him, while Julius continues and mentioned, “Trust”The word immediately changed the atmosphere. Noah stood beside Julius while Adrian and Gabriel exchanged a glance. Dark Julius folded his arms, clearly interested in what was about to happen, even Kael remained silent.Julius continued, “You expect me to walk into the heart of the First World with someone who spent thousands of years trapped inside the First Consciousness and suddenly decided to help me”Cael's expression didn't change, “That's fair”“You know things about me that I didn't know about myself, you knew about Noah, you knew about the Origin” “Yes” Cael responded Julius took a step closer, “And yet you never told me” Julius added.Cael didn't answer immediately, Julius's voice became colder, “So give me one reason I shoul
Cael and Julius
“You were created for a reason” The shadow's words lingered in Julius's mind.He stood several meters away from the being that had taken his face, studying it without revealing what was going through his mind. Around them, the battle had nearly stopped. Adrian and Gabriel had gathered near Kael, while Dark Julius kept Noah close even the First Queen had lowered her weapon, everyone was listening.Julius finally spoke, “Then tell me the reason”The shadow smiled, “Not here”Julius's eyes narrowed, “You're the one who came looking for me, you don't get to decide where this conversation happens”“I don't need to” The shadow raised its hand, the battlefield disappeared and there was no explosionx no flash of light, just one moment they were standing among the ruins, and the next Julius found himself somewhere completely different.He stood in an endless white space, no ground, sky, horizon, the others were gone but the shadow remained.Julius looked around, “You separated me from my famil
Another Julius
The darkness that had swallowed the sky did not behave like ordinary darkness. It had no stars, no clouds, and no visible boundary. It simply replaced everything above the Forgotten City, leaving the battlefield beneath it in an unnatural silence.Julius stood with Noah beside him, watching the enormous white eye beneath the ruined city. For once, Julius did not immediately attack. There was something different about this presence, he had faced gods who believed themselves immortal, ancient beings who had existed before entire civilizations, and creatures capable of tearing dimensions apart. He had fought versions of himself born from realities that should never have existed.The thing beneath the First World wasn't merely powerful. It was ancient in a way that made the word ancient feel meaningless, had existed before the laws of time, before space, before the concept of power itself and yet Julius could still feel its limits, that was what interested him as everything had limits.Ev
