Fate To Fake: Loved by the Fallen; Fated to Kill the Divine
Chapter 75: Prologue: The KEY

Chapter 75: Prologue: The KEY

The black void was impenetrable to any light, as no light source existed within... Nothing but darkness.

Yet, whispers echoed within...

"Is this truly our only choice?"

A sad voice echoed through the darkness.

"We don’t have another. Destroying it would mean destroying everything..."

A stern voice replied.

"Haha... Do you really believe we could destroy it, even if we tried?"

An amused chuckle broke through.

"...We cannot. That’s exactly why we’re all here—to seal it away."

A commanding voice spoke with authority.

"The world has already fallen deep into its corruption. If we delay further, all our pantheons will become mere fragments of its will."

A calm yet firm voice added.

"Indeed. We must end this now... I cannot bear another betrayal."

A voice filled with pain whispered softly.

Silence lingered heavily.

"We don’t have much time. The Fated Human has already begun sealing the others. Now it’s our turn—to seal the Source."

"Yes... Let’s begin."

A quiet chuckle interrupted the seriousness.

"Haha... That human, truly remarkable! To have defied entire pantheons through sheer brute force... I must admit, I admire such madness."

"Lord A###..."

"Ah, forgive me—I lost myself for a moment."

"Let us proceed. Join hands."

Another pause stretched into silence.

"Everything comes at a price. We have gathered here to pay ours—to safeguard our creation."

"We shall exchange ourselves."

Ssslll~

A faint spark ignited in the void, immediately swallowed by the darkness.

Three distinct voices resonated simultaneously:

"I shall be the Sphere that holds ’It’."

Crack... Crack...

The sharp sound of crystal making echoed ominously.

Another set of three voices declared:

"I shall be the Chains that bind ’It’."

Clang... Clang...

The heavy rattle of metal echoed in answer.

Silence reclaimed the void once more, stretching endlessly, until—

A shaky breath broke the tension:

"Hah... Ha... Now, for the future."

"I shall be the Eye that sees all."

"I shall Understand all that the Eye perceives."

"I shall Create all that is understood."

"I shall be the Stone, unyielding and eternal Holding the Created"

"I shall be the Pillars that support Stone."

"And I... shall choose the one worthy to wield it all."

SSSsnnnnnggg~

A powerful, resonant hum filled the void, vibrating with hidden purpose before fading once more into silence, punctuated only by a final whisper:

"Protect it... Lord Karna..."

*****

Time resumed its relentless flow, countless ages slipping away unnoticed, until—

Chucckkk!

The wet sound of blood splattering tore through the eternal darkness, followed by mocking laughter:

"Hehehe... It seems your chosen champion has betrayed you for the sake of a mere human. How amusing your face would be... after all the lengths you’ve gone to seal me away!

Now... It’s time to reclaim what belongs to me!

Hehehe~"
