Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Erste gathered the power of destruction into the sword made from the bones of the mother of all dragons. He gathered all the power of destruction he could and poured it into his body and made it flow through him and into the sword.

The power of destruction was a great threat to not only the being it was directed at but to the one using the power as well. It was pure unadulterated destruction one that should be able to destroy everything and anything in its path.

Erste was able to use not only the power of destruction but also the power of creation which he was now using to stabilize and enhance the power of destruction to the utmost limit that Erste could handle, no, to go even beyond that.

Erste was also using the power of creation to strengthen the characteristics of the sword he took from the first God he killed. It now had the ability to absorb the power within the void, the void that created the ORIGIN itself.

Now using these two things the extremes of the very concepts of reality itself, Erste created a move that could very likely destroy everything. If they weren't within the void itself Erste would have never used this move that was simply something he theorized about.

This was a move he had never tested anywhere as it was a move that could possibly destroy the very foundation of reality itself. So Erste was unsure if this move would do exactly as he hoped but it was his ace in the hole.

Now that he had no other technique powerful enough to harm the ORIGIN he was betting everything on this move.

Seeing the move that Erste was about to unleash the ORIGIN did not move and stared at Erste and started clapping.

"This is incredible, I never needed to control the power I use as I can do it as simple as breathing, but for you it's different. Despite your strength, your body remains the same as every other human. The power you're using can not just destroy your body it will destroy your soul, it can destroy everything even your identity in the flow of time.

If not used properly not only would you die, but you would erase your very existence and it would be like the person that was you never existed in the first place. To be able to control that power by combining the two contrasting powers with such precision is truly incredible."

The ORIGIN did not continue attacking and waited for Erste to finish preparing his final technique.

"You are so confident that you can take this next move of mine, that you won't even interrupt it?" Erste who now had time to gather more energy into his next move started talking to the ORIGIN.

"It's not that I'm confident but that I need to take this next move of yours. Once I take on your strongest move and you lose all options to deal with me then maybe you'll be able to listen to me better about my plan to make everything better."

"So you're going to take on everything I got and overwhelm me with pure power. Do you think that's going to change my views of your crazy plan?"

"Not entirely, but it will make you listen better."

"... Yeah, that might work. It seems like you do understand me. So let's see if you can handle this move."

Erste who had finished gathering and combining every bit of power he could, no, he went even beyond that and was about ready to unleash it on the ORIGIN. Even now he was unsure if he would be able to survive this blow he was about to unleash but he was out of options. He needed the ORIGIN to weaken a bit more to continue to the next step of his plans.

It was a good thing that the ORIGIN was not doing anything that went beyond what Erste could imagine or this battle would have gone badly.

Erste finally unleashed the strongest technique he could use. The power of destruction mixed with the power of creation, it was like matter and antimatter combining to create the big bang an explosion of pure energy, but this move was infinitely grander than that.

The void that only had that single light that Erste created so that he could fight the ORIGIN properly was only able to light up a little area, but the explosion created by his technique was able to light up the void nearly in its entirety.

This was a power that could create an entirely new omniverse or destroy an already existing one. The ORIGIN which was believed to be the sum of everything was nearly infinite, with a beginning before the very concept of a beginning ever existed and an end that doesn't exist, was being engulfed by the brilliant light of pure energy.

Upon releasing such an incredible attack, Erste's body could not handle it and blood started flowing out from every part of his body. There was blood coming out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and even through his pores.

One of Erste's eyeballs popped out of his eye socket as he lay on the ground his body unresponsive. It wasn't heavy, it wasn't painful, it wasn't anything at all, he could no longer feel anything. Erste knew that the end of his body was nearing, but what he was more worried about was what happened to the ORIGIN.

In his current condition, he only had one chance to make the next step happen, and he needed it to happen quickly before he died.

Erste then saw the ORIGIN with only a floating head left, even that attack of his was unable to destroy the ORIGIN even with the fact the ORIGIN was holding back. Still, this was all within his plan.

"I have won child," the ORIGIN spoke to the fallen Erste.

"Wrong, it's a tie."

When Erste was done speaking a magical array appeared below the ORIGIN's head. This was a spell that Erste developed to forcefully transfer the ORIGIN to a dimension that was not part of the omniverse that the ORIGIN created. It would have never worked if the ORIGIN was at full power, but in the ORIGIN's current state, it was doable.

"Hahaha!!! You really brought me surprise after surprise. Very well, child, this is indeed a tie. But once I escape from this prison that you created for me, I will come visit you again and by that time I will no longer hold back."

Those were the ORIGIN's final words to Erste as he was forcefully dragged into a different dimension. Erste could not hear most of it since his ear drums were already destroyed. As he was dying in the void that vicious smile on his face didn't disappear as he spoke his final words.

"The next time we meet, I won't let it end in a tie."

That was the end of the life of the very first incarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul, but it was the beginning of numerous grand adventures of his future reincarnations. A life ended but the legend continues.
