Dimensional Descent

Chapter 3242  Twelve Pointed Star

Scythe Force… It was maybe the oddest of the Weapon Forces, not just because of the uniqueness and rarity of the weapon, but also because of its origins. When speaking of other Weapon Forces, its lore had almost no impact on its current reality. No one cared why the first spear was created, and whips, though originally an instrument of torture, didn't have much of its Force related to these origins either. But Scythe Force… it was very different. The scythe was originally an instrument for farmers and harvesters. It wasn't a weapon used for death, but rather to give others new life. As time passed, this instrument of life slowly morphed into something else. Ironically enough, what Leonel didn't know was that the Weapon Force he had the most compatibility with wasn't the Bow… it was precisely the Scythe. Today, the Scythe was primarily known as an instrument of death, the symbolism of reapers. It was used predominantly by the Void Race who, while they were more well known for their spatial abilities, had abilities related to Destruction and the former Void Beasts that made them arbitrators of Death as well. However… This wasn't the true face of the Scythe. The Scythe had a lot more in common with Leonel than any other weapon in existence… it too was a weapon of Creation that had become so distorted and twisted that it was now only known for its Destruction… And this formed the foundation upon which caused everything that was happening now. Anya had been a Light Sovereign while her twin sister had been a Shadow Sovereign. However, after Leonel killed her sister, the two became one individual, sharing Light and Shadow together and becoming a new person… Or rather, at least Anya gained a new body while overtaking her sister's mind. This matter was simple enough and could mostly be waved away as an odd quirk of this world of Dimensional and supreme powers. But how could it be that easy to describe if such things were happening now? Things seemed relatively fine until Anya began to truly focus on her Scythe Force. When Anya first came to a Complete World, she had faced much the same issues as everyone else. The skills that she had once been so proud in plummeted off a cliff, unable to keep up with those around her. The difference between an Incomplete World and a Complete one was too large. But her talent still shone through. Slowly, she began to rebuild her foundations until she reached the stage she was at today… And the most important of those foundations was her Scythe Force. When she formed her Dharma, her two Sovereignties took a back seat to her Scythe Force, allowing her Scythe Force to become the center of her very being. What she didn't expect, though, was to suddenly succeed in forming her Idol right here and now. No… it was almost like someone or some thing was forcing her to succeed, pushing her down a path of no return. What was the Twelve Pointed Star if not the visual representation of the Northern Star? However, it wasn't just this alone… The Northern Star Lineage Factor, both halves, each had six stages each exactly… The Snowy Star Owl… The White Stone Elephant… The Starry Tailed Fox… The Twinkling Light Bear… The Golden Tiger… The Infinity Beast. The Shadow Tail… the Dusky Steel Bat… The Aurora Black Panda… The Crimson Claw Ape… The Death Pulse Deer… The Void Beast. Twelve perfect stages. Twelve perfect pieces of the puzzle. When the experiments of the Envoys began, the Human Race was the only one who seemed capable of taking on their power and displaying the might of the Northern Star Lineage Factor. However… what no one had ever explained was why this Lineage Factor had such a name? Why wasn't it called the Creation Lineage Factor or Destruction Lineage Factor? Or maybe the Infinity and Void Lineage Factor? There seemed to be any number of names that were far more appropriate… It was a question that was lying in plain sight and yet it was one that no one ever answered for reasons that couldn't be explained… Unless one considered one person. The Demoness. Every time one felt as though they had stepped off of her chessboard, it was as though she was looming over an even larger one, her gaze peering down over the world and waiting for the last of everyone to fall into her traps one after another. If even the Ancient God Beast of Destruction, the Primordial Terrors, couldn't escape her schemes… Then how could the modern era God Beasts of Destruction and Creation possibly do so? Even this Lineage Factor, down to its barest of bones, was personally crafted by the Demoness much like the Morales Lineage Factor and all its parts had been. And all of it was for this very moment when the only prophecy that Leonel had yet to truly grasp fell into place. The Scythe… a perfect balance of Creation and Destruction. It may have started as a weapon of Creation, but it had been given new life as one of Death and Destruction. It was no longer as simple as Creation bleeding over into Destruction… It was both. Light Sovereignty, the pinnacle of life, of healing, of the world everyone could see with their own eyes… Shadow Sovereignty… the pinnacle of darkness, of things hidden in the blackness of the light… When the Scythe formed the center of this, and the two Sovereignties came together, it formed a perfected cycle of Creation and Destruction… One that allowed the true Northern Star Lineage Factor to appear. Anya's body shuddered and a Twelve Pointed Star burst into existence, blooming from her back as her aura continued to soar. Existence rumbled, and the Northern Star that seemed to still have several thousand more years before it truly descended… Trembled as well. Suddenly… BOOM! The Northern Star broke through a veil. At that moment, no matter what world you were in, if you looked up, the Northern Star felt so close that one could almost reach out and touch it. The end of the world was here.
