Okay. This will be officially the last chapter before I go on my hiatus. I think there's around 5 more chapters left until the end of arc 5.5, and then we'll begin arc 6. The trailer for Arc 6 will be released on my birthday, along with a Birthday Special that is coming soon.
Good luck to all of y'all's lives in the next month, I might be getting on randomly to upload stuff, maybe not, but in short, my hiatuses basically mean 'very inconsistent upload schedules', aka VI-US.
Cya and enjoy this chapter :)
Zarestia POV (Flashback and Thoughts)
I am the eldest Great Spirit. The first existence to be officially acknowledged by Od Laguna and to blessed by copious amounts of mana that it has bestowed upon me.
I've lived longer than any human could possibly ever imagine... seeing the ever-changing reality that shifts throughout the eras... by this point, I'm not sure if it's even worth it anymore.
I lived in stasis in the place humans called Zarestia's Bed, all so that I can keep my overflowing powers in control. The Light Sphere refuses to be separated from me when I created it, and I'm only docile without it. However, since I cannot leave the object on my own, I'm always raging just like the moment that civilization betrayed me hundreds of years ago.
That was the purpose of the light sphere. A shell that housed my power as a channeling device to destroy the people that dared to betray me, causing my anger to flare for eternities. Whenever I do happen to be separated from the Light Sphere, I traverse the human world in curiosity, only to return almost immediately the day after due to the Light Sphere returning to me.
They call me the Great Spirit of Murder, not the Wind. For I am the most Beautiful Shinigami, who slays everyone and everything in sight.
I don't... enjoy hurting people.
I do it because I have to, and I can't really do anything to control it.
3rd Person POV
"Okay." A lone voice echoed her thoughts, a soothing voice that almost sounds unnatural to her ears. "Elaborate a little further on that, please?"
"When I let go of my Light Sphere, it always return to me. I never trusted humans, and to be honest, I don't think I ever will after that incident. It's just too much... it makes me remember that horrible memory, and how could I forget that bitter betrayal those ones committed...
"You should forgive, but should not forget. But remember, that not all humans are exactly the same as one another, and not everyone wishes to hurt you. Maybe only then can you finally come out of your shell to face the true human society."
"But what if they betray me again? What if they try to destroy me and my powers once more? Should I just let myself be deceived once more?"
"..."
"I don't want to feel that pain again! That's a horrible path to go down and the fact that it has the immense possibility of occurring once again, it scares me!"
"There you go, you're scared, are you not? Then cast that fear aside, and move forward. Towards the place you want to go, and eventually you'll reach your destination. The journey will definitely not be as smooth as you imagined, but with a lot of effort and the will to continue, you will get there."
"You speak as if you know a lot. Who are you, and why do you seek to sympathize with me?"
"I am the Liberator, or as my friends call me, I'm Y/N L/N, a measly human who managed to somehow twist fate." Y/N stepped out of the shadows as the Yin Magic stopped concealing him.
