Chapter 6 - TEV ALMIGHTY

Endless darkness echoed in the ancient voice of the ruler in darkness, he spoke in a tougue unknown to Joseph yet Joseph understood the words. The burning question of why he had come to the dark halls interested the elder being greatly, "well? Are you going to tell me why you are here?" Joseph looked into the deep crimson eyes of the being and spoke "To recover all the memories I have lost" a mistake the being took advantage of. "Well you have to be specific when you make such requests"the ruler in darkness lifted his dark veil and there from it jumped many flames and the being pronounced "If you can identify which flame is yours then you will remember all it experienced but should you fail all you know will be wiped out forever" clearly a threat to push him into haste but the young prince is full of wit, "Every flame here belongs to me, seeing that they are small I must have died young multiple times" . In that moment the ruler trembled in fear after all he had toyed with the elven Lord, but something was odd "Your presence is weaker than when we last me...Elorde memor...Kun ag tan ku." The ruler used another ancient tongue leaving the boy puzzled, Joseph stood silent analyzing the ruler "It seems the halls of Amenti are a manifested Authority like that of the man father faught only that this divine authority has a perpetual supply of Uud, he must be a sort of necromancer or God." In truth the ruler in darkness is a stand in for the deity Amenti and his name 'Amut the straggler' once a wondering soul in the depths of darkness found his way to the throne of Amenti he fooled the God with promises of grandure in the living realm which resulted in him being appointed a ruler on behalf of the Dead God Amenti as the God incarnated on Earth thus eventually getting trapped by the Ice age. The ruler stood up from his throne and approached the boy in the silhouette of a woman but distorted by the darkness it was illumined in the countless flames of his past lives, he saw there a creature unlike any other. Amut was a creature of with the forequarters of a lion, the hindquarters of a hippopotamus and the head of a crocodile, she also had a tail so long it touched the edge of darkness in the great halls. Fear chocked his air paths causing Joseph to slightly suffocate in the rotten blood oozing from the lips of the beast, "You look prettier than you sound" Joseph jestered to the twelve meter tall beast. "You are as insufferable as the first time I saw you, but nothing is stopping me from killing you now!" Amut spoke as she struck a heavy paw towards the unsuspecting boy, Joseph heard a whistling sound as if sharp threads weaving through the air and that was his que to dodge but having no knowledge of what to dodge Joseph suffered a heavy blow to the chest leaving him with blood gushing on the black floor.

Golden Uud began to ooze around the wound, this was the passive effect of golden Uud it regenerates fatal wounds keeping the host alive as long as it was not completely finished. Joseph realized a strange side effect of the golden Uud causing him to smile, Amut pounced quickly as she noticed the golden Uud. She had never seen this type of force but it looked dangerous, "Nome force! Dark moon crescent destroyer!" She pronounced her incantation of Nome force. A completely unknown variable had surfaced in the fight and this scared Joseph as he knew nothing about the Nome, after the incantation a crescent moon formed behind the creatures back illuminating the area with purple hues. Joseph formed a spear from Golden Uud he had left, this was not a fight he could afford to fight given the enemy had not used the great hall's authority to bind him with regulatory divine authorities. It is well known that facing a necromancer while in an astral form is like a thief walking into a prison with cuffs on his feet and hands, he had to escape the halls of the dead no matter what. His plans turned to dust as he got blitzed by the ruler in darkness, he couldn't even comprehend the type of attack he hit by and just as he lost consciousness the creature took him by the collar and ripped out his heart, "Joseph Kylie you have amounted to nothing on the scales of combat and now I shall damn your soul for eternity!" The creature announced and just as it ate his heart another challenger appeared, "Hey there!" the young man with blond hair announced himself calling out to the creature. His blue eyes glowed with bright lights illuminating the dark halls "Are you for real? Aren't you that brat whose heart I ate a few years back....How are you alive?" the ruler in darkness inquired as he threw down Joseph and his heart. Joseph struggled to turn his body to face the confrontation between the two, he saw Tev Visdom standing there radiating a brilliant light. "You got yourself beat up, guess you're not ready for Helios yet. Now watch how a true student of Midgard University fights." Tev proclaimed as he darted to the creature and landed a heavy left jab on its crocodile face, Amut growled in pain after losing a few teeth. Tev smiled with a cocky expression while giving a baradge of slaps and jabs but not once did he use heavy attacks, he was clearly dog walking the ruler in darkness "Look at you Amut, high and mighty until someone finally puts you in your place." Joseph marveled as he expressed "This is no priest in training, he is very strong, almost like father." Joseph grew worried over his bleeding chest then he remembered this was only his astral body. Joseph stood in awe witnessing another peak fight between masters, Tev decided to throw his first heavy blow and the impact of his right hand on the crocodile face crackled like a lightning strike parting a tree. The ruler in darkness fell near his throne and upon realizing this she rushed to sit on it, Tev noticed his blunder as he smirked in disbelief. 'Thrones' whenever rulers of any kind sit on their throne it maximises their Uud effeciency while boosting their capacity to match that of the realm they rule, in this particular case.....Amut rules the realm of a God thus he now has infinite Uud plus all the divine authorities under the power of Amenti. "Hey now that's cheating, I was supposed to show off in front of my junior." Sweat began to roll down his forehead as he calculated the survivability of the onslaught they are about to experience, "Dead God Amenti's divine authority, divine realm of infinite death and life bring forth the scales of Amenti and judge for me a weary soul." In that instant a great fire pit emerged near the throne and from it golden scales hovered, "release your divine realm you idiot!" Joseph screemed with his last breath. Tev had never realized his divine realm although mastering his authorities at a young age he struggled with actualizing the height of his power, 'Tev Visdom' a third year at the University of Midgard holds the position of most promising student with his divine authority that simply cannot be matched, 'The divine Authority Supernova' is the ultimate destructive power, from the moment he developed his authority fear began to surround him as all who faced him would not live to speak about it and thus he was labeled 'Tev Almighty' the anomaly of Midgard.

"Divine Authority! Sacred realm of the dying star" and before he could finish the incantation his thoughts were visualized faster than the sound left his lips, the bright light of a white dwarf star exploding filled the halls of Amenti and then there were none. Joseph woke up to absolute darkness and the smell of olive oil filling the sycophagus, temple servants quickly raised the lid to find blood splashed onto the bandages then Tev appeared there " Hold still, I will heal your soul and cleanse your Uud." The multicoloured glow of his Uud permitted into Joseph's body then he felt a rush of power filling his body until he felt like puking, "Don't you dare puke on me kid, by the way how did you know laying out a realm on top of another would completely nullify the effects of the other realm. Most importantly, what made you think my divine realm was superior?" Joseph's smug face did not go unnoticed as he reveled in the experience he obtained from watching his father dog walk the Manfilgod a night prior, "I didn't know how strong you actually were but I've seen stronger people fight so I knew the gap between you and the ruler wasn't very big but you having a light type authority....." Tev cut him short right there, "Okay you nerd, let's get you dressed and packed. The high priest has something special for you....by the way did he help you remember any pas lives, knowing at least one is always a huge boost when developing authority." Joseph was clearly unhappy being cutoff midway his explanation but he also remembered "That thing called me Elven Lord, do you know anything about that?" Tev turned hostile immediately at the sound of that title and he held Joseph by the neck as he pointed out, "Are you crazy! No one says that name unless they want an early grave. You know how in the bible demons fear angel Michael? Well that guy whose name you just said is like that for the Gods of Helios and if you ever say that name you will incure the wrath of a very specific God king who hurles lightning bolts down for no apparent reason" Tev looked freaked out by the mention of Elven Lord but he seemed more terrified of a God who was obviously Zeus, Joseph decided not to ask any further while Tev pretended he didn't just hear the keeper of souls refer to Joseph as the Elven Lord. Rather he had a very curious face, as he held a serious posture after facing away from the boy. Tev was clearly brewing something, and he had just found a key ingredient.
