Evolution begins with an ant colony

Chapter 81 Returned From The Underworld Part Four: The One Who Enslaved Death



As Akun channeled the power of GX-Chaos and initiated the taming skill, the section of the underworld where he stood began to spiral into even deeper chaos. The very ground cracked and shattered beneath his feet, sending shards of obsidian flying in all directions. The energies he radiated clashed violently with the already crumbling underworld, exacerbating its disintegration.

The shadows that clung to the ethereal realm twisted and contorted, as if in agony. The lost souls that lingered in this forsaken place cried out in an eerie chorus of despair, their wails echoing through the disarrayed landscape.

Xalender, the god of death, observed in astonishment as the realm he had once ruled now fell apart at an accelerated rate. His skeletal form, already weakened by the loss of his †Authority†, trembled under the onslaught of Akun's extraordinary power.

The very concept of time in this fractured realm became distorted, as past and future blurred into an incomprehensible present. Souls, both lost and damned, were caught in a maelstrom of chaotic energy, their spectral forms writhing in torment.

Xalender stood on the precipice of existence, his thoughts weaving through the tapestry of time and experience. His ethereal form quivered with the weight of eons, for he had witnessed the unfurling of countless souls, their lives, their deaths, and their rebirths. He had been there to watch dreams blossom and wither, like fragile petals carried away by the winds of eternity.

In his transcendental journey, he had tasted the full spectrum of human emotions—the sweet embrace of love, the searing fires of hatred, the intoxication of pleasure, and the relentless torment of pain. He had seen the daggers of betrayal pierce the hearts of the innocent and the flames of revenge consume the guilty.

Yet, even after all these millennia, he found himself astounded by the unwavering determination of a single mortal.

"I Don't understand," Xalender mused, his incorporeal form pulsating with contemplation. "I've beheld the universe's grand theater of emotions, but nothing compares to the intensity of this mortal's resolve. That intensity, that conviction to see his goals realized.Dyraxis, This child is your spitting image, he is truly admirable."

But as Xalender pondered the depths of human spirit, a sudden notification jolted Akun from his reverie. The words on his screen burned with an otherworldly glow, sending shivers down his spine.

[Enslavement successful]

[Ding!! The player has gotten a huge achievement!!]

[Ding!! The player enslaved a god]

[Ding!! The player has been given the title: The one above Gods] Experience more on empire

Akun's heart raced with a mix of triumph and trepidation. It had worked—the audacious plan to enslave a god had borne fruit. He couldn't help but grin, feeling the power coursing through him. "It worked!" he exclaimed, his voice a triumphant whisper.

But the celebration was short-lived. As he gazed upon the realm of the underworld, a haunting truth gripped him. It was unraveling, disintegrating like a fragile dream dissolving in the morning light. The very fabric of the afterlife seemed on the verge of collapse.

Xalender, ever the observer, voiced the impending calamity. "The underworld will collapse any time from now," he intoned, his voice resonating with a haunting finality. "What do you intend to do?"

Realizing he needed to hurry, Akun turned to the system, "Activate the skill-sharing with Xalender," he commanded.

[Activating.....]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

[Skill sharing activated! Target: Xalender]

Suddenly, as if touched by the hand of divinity, Xalender, who had been fading into obscurity, reverted back to his normal, radiant form.

Xalender's astonishment lingered, as though a spectral echo in the chambers of his divine consciousness. He was perplexed by the unfamiliar sensation of feeling better, his essence pulsating with newfound vitality. It was as if Akun had granted him access to his authority, yet retained it in an unspoken pact.

A delicate balance, an intricate dance between mortal and god, swirled within the fabric of their shared existence. Xalender's inner monologue whispered with wonder at the enigmatic connection they now shared.

Xalender mused, "It seems the connection that now exists between I and this mortal, Akun, is now that of a slave and it's master."

Akun, his eyes aflame with determination, wasted no more time in the fragile underworld. He knew that every second counted. With a resolute nod to Xalender, he expressed his intention to leave.

He he prepared to leave, Akun turned to Xalender, whose appearance had returned to its usual skeletal form. He spoke firmly, "I will be going back to my comrades now."

Xalender had an abundance of questions locked within his celestial mind, but a sense of restraint held him back. He felt that perhaps he had no right to probe further, to pry into the intricate threads of Akun's destiny.

As Akun turned to depart, a soft, resonant voice filled the void between them. Xalender's words, laden with the weight of millennia, reached out to the mortal with a profound sincerity.

"Since the dawn of time," he began, his voice carrying a resonance that transcended mere words, "you are the second mortal I have truly seen as remarkable." It was a declaration, a tribute to Akun's indomitable spirit that had dared to challenge even the gods.

As Akun pondered the sudden change in Xalender's demeanor, he couldn't help but wonder, "What happened to him? He's strangely calm... Is he truly okay with the fact that I've just enslaved him? *Ugh* But there's no time to think about this now. I must make my way back."

Akun, with a simple command to the system, he spoke, his voice tinged with both reverence and authority. "Resurrect me."

[Resurrecting....]

As Akun initiated the process of resurrecting, the fabric of the underworld around him began to dissipate. In his mind, he was resolute, thinking, "I'm coming back, my friends."

Meanwhile, in the realm of the Kingin tribe, the first rays of the rising sun painted the horizon with hues of orange and gold. The world beyond the underworld stirred with life as the evolved ants gathered, their bodies quivering with a profound sadness. They encircled Akun's lifeless form, tears of resin flowing like glistening rivers.

But then, as if the cosmos itself conspired to rewrite the script of existence, something miraculous occurred. Akun's body began to glow with an ethereal light, casting a radiant halo that mesmerized the mournful ants.

In the midst of the ant guardians' grief, a miraculous sight unfolded before their eyes. Akun's headless body began to move, searching for its missing head. The evolved ants, their tears still fresh, were left dumbfounded, their cries silenced by the inexplicable turn of events.

Oliver, consumed by sorrow, continued to mourn his boss, oblivious to the unfolding spectacle. It was Ember who took the initiative, tapping Oliver on the shoulder and urgently calling his name.

"Hey, Oliver!"

But Oliver's tears flowed unabated, and his lamentations for his fallen leader showed no signs of stopping. He pleaded with Akun, his voice filled with anguish and desperation.

"Boss, nooo, please don't go."

Ember persisted, raising his voice to get through to Oliver. "Oliver, snap out of it! Look!"

Reluctantly, Oliver turned his tear-filled eyes toward Akun's body, and something incredible had happened. He watched as Oliver's trembling hand offered Akun's severed head to the body. Akun's head was reunited with his body, and the grievous wound where it had been severed was miraculously healed.

The moment was surreal, and a warm chuckle escaped Akun's lips as he quirked an eyebrow playfully, his expression brimming with mischievousness.

"Did you all miss me?"

The evolved ants, stunned by the resurrection of their beloved boss, exclaimed in unison, their voices a chorus of relief and joy.

"Boss!"
