"Alright," Valse then replied, "better be ready, because this training will be your hardest yet, so better be ready for it."
Leo now smirked as he laughed. He then said, "We've been waiting for three days! Enough briefing, let's get straight to the training!"
"Alright," Valse then said, "oh youths, young and hot-blooded! Okay then, when do you guys want to start? Today or tomorrow?"
Vultra now replied, "I think we should start the construction of the training ground today, then tomorrow we will train."
"Alright, I'm ready, let's start it," Leo now said.
Valse then said, "Since you both are ready to start, I think I will also be ready to start the process of training you guys."
In that moment, his eyes glowed, and Leo and Vultra's eyes also glowed in unison. In that moment, they were all transported to a dimension that was completely different from all the realms they were in. It had no form, no life, no mass, no darkness. Words couldn't describe it; it was just nothingness.
Valse then told Leo and Vultra, "Your first task will be to construct your training ground from this useless dimension. Remember, you all are gods, so use your powers to do so. Remember, you both created a planet out of nothingness. I don't think you both will have any problem creating this, your training ground."
Valse then teleported out, leaving both Leo and Vultra alone in the dimension of nothingness.
Leo and Vultra stood there. Then they both sat in a lotus position. Leo then breathed in as his aura slowly started to be released, while Vultra just simply inhaled; his powers slowly began to creep out of him. Leo and Vultra now readied themselves.
As we now dive deeper into Leo, his Yang domain slowly began to intensify as he was giving nothingness life. Leo unknowingly entered his god form as his Yang domain now rested in the palm of his hands. Leo now slowly moved them together while his orbs and his aura intensified. While he was busy, a barrier was formed far apart from him, and it slowly took shape, resembling a circle.
While Vultra meditated, he glowed, and darkness began to form around him. Even he too unknowingly entered his god form as he continued meditating. His powers continued to grow until they reached the dimension of nothingness's boundaries. Then, at that moment, they both opened their eyes as they used their powers to force the dimension of nothingness to take a full circular shape, and then their domain automatically expanded and their powers increased significantly. Both of their domains formed the Yin and Yang symbol in the oniverse of nothingness, fully making it their own training ground. But they weren't done yet. Oh, no!
Then, after marking their territory, the place where Leo was meditating slowly turned dark until it turned completely dark, fully immersed in him. But everywhere around him was fully light, and it glowed while fully completing his part of his Yang crest. While the place where Vultra was also meditating slowly turned white until it became fully light, then Vultra's side of the Yin and Yang crest was complete. But Leo and Vultra weren't done. Their god forms seemed to be more defined and stronger, and their souls left their bodies, but their god form wasn't even done. Their souls began to be fully immersed in their domains until a disturbance came.
In that moment, a man came. Both Leo and Vultra saw him and then came back to their bodies. Then Leo stood up in his god form, and Vultra also did the same.
Vultra first spoke, "Who are you?"
The man replied, "I am the origin of you all."
As we now dived deeper into his appearance, he was wearing a monk outfit with Yin Yang beads on his neck, arms, wrists, legs. Even his forehead had a bead of the Yin and Yang crest. His monk outfit completely synchronized the Yin and Yang colors perfectly. His eyes were bright, and behind him was the full Yin and Yang domain, perfectly fused together and synchronized in perfect symmetry. Anytime he took a step, Yin and Yang darkness followed. Anywhere he took a swing, thunder first struck, then a cool breeze followed suit.
After he then said, "It seems you both still do not know me yet, so I will show you your hidden memories," as he stretched forth his hands towards them.
Leo and Vultra were immediately knocked out from their god forms. Leo and Vultra were put to a deep sleep. While in Leo, he was taken back to his old world where he was a mortal, a lab rat, an expendable. He continuously saw himself being tortured by technology, but he just couldn't yet place it. That was the reason why his hate for technology just couldn't increase and come to be. Even he just couldn't understand. He thought, "Even I here can't even figure out why I am still here. I just don't know what's going on with me." But at that moment, he saw a shadow slip past the previous him while he was being tested with the chip. What he thought was the chip malfunction that killed him was actually that guy who dressed like a monk as he saw the same man with the powers. He didn't speak, and it seems both the robots and humans there ignored him like they couldn't see him. What actually caused the chip malfunction was actually when the old monk placed his hands on Leo's forehead, and even his previous self couldn't notice him, and even he too was also confused. Even he too couldn't understand what the heck was going on, and he infused into him an energy which caused the chip to overload and killed him, as the chip couldn't sense spiritual powers. And after the being injected the Yang domain into him, that is what actually caused him to die. When his spirit arose, the old monk used his hands to settle the Yang energy in him.
Then he now moved forward in time where he was being judged by Leonidas. Even he too couldn't sense the old monk at all. Leonidas also sensed the Yang energy in him, that's why he can't pass any judgment on him, and that is what caused him to pass on freely. And he still saw the same monk just smiling as he glowed. Leo just couldn't understand; he had so many questions to ask, but at that moment he was transported to when he met all the gods after he died. He saw the same old monk in the vision each time. He just couldn't understand what the f*** was going on.
Leo was then transported to another past of himself where he saw the same monk actually training him while he was a baby, but for some reason, he could see him, but he didn't also remember what was going on. But he saw the old monk laughed for the first time as he trained and played with little Leo. He was then transported to another part of his past, namely when he was Leonard Noble and he was sent to the wilderness. He saw the old monk watching him even when he developed and transformed the barren land. The old man was there every step of the way. Occasionally, he would train him, but he just couldn't remember, but the vision he saw showed him clear evidence. Leo also got surprised when he saw the monk actually having a conversation with him and then teaching him a thing or two about Yang energy, but he still couldn't understand what that monk was. Then he was again transported to another vision of himself when he was trained by Wukong. He saw the same old monk watching him. It seemed like he waited for an opportunity. He then got transported to another past where Valse seemed to finally settle any doubts and finished the case. It was then when Valse wanted to infuse some powers, only that the old monk entered into Valse and then gave Leo another part of the Yang powers. The confusion on Leo's head wasn't yet answered well. The other remaining visions played out the same.
Now then, we shift to Vultra. In his first vision, he was a baby werewolf. He saw the old monk smiling back at him while he bestowed on him something that seemed similar to his Yin domain. He then got transported to where he went to a temple. He then saw the old monk again, but this time he was the one that created that golden ball that he played golf with and and destroyed the barrier. Vultra just couldn't understand as he was beyond confusion as he was too shocked and confused, mainly also surprised. He then got transported to when he trained in the forest following the event of the barrier. He still saw the same old monk there again. Vultra was confused beyond words. What he couldn't understand was why was he seeing him in his visions.
Vultra now looked at the old man who seemed to kill some animals which he later came across since he left a wooden weapon. It shows it was safe to eat. Each time Vultra went to hunt, he would also see the same old man watching him, but the past Vultra couldn't see him. Then he was transported to another part of his past, this time where he met Fenrir (oh shit, I forgot about him all this while, I'm so sorry, my fans, I'll make it up to you guys by bringing Fenrir back, I promise). He saw the same old monk just simply watching him and only interfering at intervals. He then got transported to where he met Denzan. He saw the same old monk, but this time he could tell his face seemed to show a bitter emotion, like he was worried, and for some reason both Denzan and Vultra couldn't see or sense him either. Vultra kept diving into his past, and he kept seeing the same old monk each time. The confusion on Vultra's face was beyond words, even when Vultra went rogue after seeing his entire race dead. He saw the old monk looking visibly annoyed and angry. Vultra kept on diving into his past, well until he came to the part where he saw Valse actually bestowing powers on him, but he could tell something at that moment: the monk also entered into Valse, and then his visions blurred out.
And then both Leo and Vultra both stood up while they saw the old monk looking at both of them, smiling. They have so many questions, even I, the author, has so many questions to ask. But that concludes the end of this chapter for now. All questions and suspense, doubts, confusion will be cleared in the next chapter. So till next time, my hoeless fans, bye!
