《Equilibrium》8.) Finally a God

Advertisement

Mia and I sleep till morning as I am to wake up. Mia still lies next to me and it seems she is still unconscious.

The whole night I thought about what happened and I came to the conclusion that it would be the best for me to learn how to control my powers. And I also thought about the perfect way for me to accomplish that. The extinguished town will play its part in my plan.

Yesterday night as I walked here into the forest, leaving the wasted city behind us, they estimated.

Dozens, no thousands of voices from the dead, spreading their pain screams through my head. At least I thought it was pain, they screamed, but the more I payed them attention, the clearer they got. They are calling for me. They want to be freed from their calamity and only I, the god who brought calamity over them is able to do so. But I also felt that it would be a great progress for developing my powers, if I will go there. So I decide to go back to that place and then I´ll only have to figure out what to do then. But something tells me that my instincts will lead me and that I´ll be a complete different person after wards.

I lie next to Mia now awake and looking at her while another thought comes in my mind.

“Mia become my sword!” I tried to transform her into a sword

Mia´s body immediately begins to shine in a white light and her shape transformed from a human body into that of a japanese … Umbrella.

“Uhh... well its not a sword but still better than nothing to happen. Seemingly I can for real order her to change her shape. At least I can take her with me now more comfortably.” I talk to myself

I leave the tent with Mia in my right hand and dissolve the tent by thinking about it and looking in its direction. My instincts seem to have brought themselves up into my subconscious, so that I am able to do the most easiest things without even thinking about it. Its as if I just know what to do instantly.

Out of the tent I call for my oracle.

It appears in front of me and begins to float. I flicked to the page of my ability´s and indeed there was something new.

Calamity&BlissYou now have seen the might of the unforgiven.

You are the one to use the darkness itself. Decide

to wipe out entire nations and lead your victims into

complete darkness and calamity without return.

The Balance of darkness is now yours.[/t

°Mhh I wonder about that power, true darkness or so called calamity. I better not use that power until I can use the Bliss power too° I think while I close the oracle

But one thing I want to test. I looked for the sturdiest looking fir and I found one.

I am standing in front of a fir as big as a skyscraper of new york, all trees and firs here are pretty big and thickly grown. Its like the old european primeval forest. The more I went deeper into the forest the more the trees got bigger and sturdier.

°Mhh you are quiet the nice exemplar, I am sorry for what I´ll do to you.° I say to the fir in front of me

I leaned the still unconscious Mia-umbrella against a fir and walk back to the sturdy tree.

I use my left hand as a visor, like those martial artists always do, and with my right hand I clench a fist.

Now I punch that fir with my full force, while I let my complete anger, about my uselessness from yesterday, its freedom.

My fist not even connects to that skyscraper-fir as a strong wind accompanies my punch and a gigantic whole appears in that fir. Right after I see that whole my fist connects to a strong, wind like barrier. As I hit the barrier it feels like I punched a domino row formed to a gigantic triangle and they all fall at the same moment. The complete forest before me explodes in a dusty cloud and lots of tree parts, as well as soil is blown around me. It takes a complete 10 minutes to clear up and what is to see then, is really a fascinating view.

Have you ever seen a tornado making its path through a forest? Well the whole place before me has now exactly that appearance, but with one difference. I literally hit a swath of the shape of a triangle, which ending I could not see and the area gets wider and wider the further you look.

°Phew... I cant even see where the destruction ends... must be around 400 kilometer big, if not even further. I dont know how far I have vision as god. I think i´ll just use this world as test for my godly powers, something tells me that this world needs a change of balance anyways. Good reminder for the future if I hit someone full force, he will probably be dead, haha° I joke to myself

I grab Mia and walk further in direction of the ex-city. I walked about an hour as I hear some odd noises. It sounds like someone is fighting with a snake or something. All the here and then I hear a hiss and clashing swords, as well as human voices. I decide to ignore those sounds, because I dont see any point in meeting someone who may be an unpleasant fellow. I continue my walk in normal speed. While I walk I examine the unconscious Mia more closely. I am not an expert, but her umbrella form is also quiet the nice view. I unfold her a few times to see how she would look in her opened form and she really is a masterpiece of work.

While I examine her a bit more I notice something like a switch at the shaft of her handle.

°Huh... I wonder what this is. Maybe I should give it a try... I mean she´s still unconscious.° I think by myself and pull the switch

As I pull the switch, the handle detached a bit and I pull it out, with it a thin katana with a black colored edge. I took it out and there I stand. In the one hand an umbrella with no handle and in the other hand a katana.

°Holy... thats a surprise. Thats really cool. So she is a real weapon too. I would bet that the umbrella part can be used as shield... mhh I think i´ll fight with Mia as a test in my next fight.° I begin to rejoice

I put her back together and closed her. The further I walk the smaller the trees become and they start to look like normal sized firs now.

“I seem to be not far away now. Lets see where I am. “ I say and focus the strength in my legs.

Then I jumped and I really jumped a fucking 30 meters up into the air. I look around and notice that I have not a chance of missing the city if I walk straight on, for about half an hour. I start to fall back down, but I opened Mia again and she indeed gives me a slow sink to the ground.

“I hope you´ll wake up soon, its a bit lonely otherwise. “ I try to talk to Mia

I walk for quiet a bit more now, as I suddenly recognize a hiss and a fast object blowing in my direction. I had no time to think about what was coming at me, so I just stopped the impact with my free flat hand. Even though I stopped that impact it has given me a pretty push back until it stops. As I look at that thing more closely it looks like a gigantic snake tail of the size of a bus, which tried to hit me.

“Holy shit... what the fuck are you from?” I ask in my surprise

That thing starts moving again and its pretty fast. I can barely follow its moves, but I want to feel how strong my enemy really is, so I took the next strike directly head on. I am blown away through a bunch of trees and a dust cloud accompanies my rough stop in a neatly grown bush.

“Aw damn, that was not too bad... I have barely seen that one.” I respond to my attacker

Right after my statement, the response is following up very fast. Again a gigantic body of a snake swings in my direction. But this time I seem to get myself adjusted to its speed a bit, so I could follow its swing almost perfectly. I follow its movement and put a bit of strength in my fingertips and feet, then I take the hit directly.

I feel a strong force connecting to my right hand, but I have just caught that thing with it and stopped the impact immediately. This time without being pushed away, thanks to my focus on my feet.

“Not too bad buddy... but i´ll end the child´s play for now.” I say and raise my left hand

I throw Mia up in the air and clench a fist, then I pull a strong swing against that thing and as I get the direct hit I restrain my strength and that big snake body gets literally catapulted away, crushing through trees and stopping a few hundred meters away. I immediately catch the falling Mia and placed her over my shoulder, while holding her left sided .

“Hmm... was that too strong? I thought I adjusted it perfectly, so that it wouldn´t do any too big damage. I think I have killed enough creatures for one place.” I talk out loud

Even though that thing doesn´t move anymore, the ground beneath me starts shivering and cracking.

Trees start bursting and were urged out of the soil, as a huge snake digs its way out of the ground next to me. It took two minutes until the complete body was to see. A white and blue striped serpent creature pulls herself out of the earth. And its really a big one, all around a hundred meter snake body is now directly next to me, including the part I blew away. Its width about that of a bus.

“Ho... you´ve gotta be kidding me, you for real? Man you are a big snake.” I get even more surprised

More trees are cracking and breaking as that things head shows up and moves towards me.

Right in front of me it stopped and two very scary looking viper eyes were staring at me.

“Uhh... Well hello there.” I say dont knowing what to do otherwise

That thing opens its mouth and two very sharp and big looking teeth appear inside of it. Suddenly a loud Hiss is to hear and wind, no more breath, blows strongly at me, so that I take a step backwards and hold my hat. Oddly enough I never had to hold my hat before.

“Youuu are indeeeeeed no Huuuumaaaaan~ssssssss” A whispering voice spreads out of that gigantic mouth in a hissing tone

“No I am not, but precisely I was. But now I am known as Van Hohenheim, deity of Equilibrium.

Nice to meet you and with whom do I have the pleasure?” I ask that serpent

“IIIII kneew it~sss. Noo huuman couuld sssstoop my atackssss~sss.

I am sssory to have assumed youu asss one of thooossseee~sss

please excussee thisss~sss old sssnaaake. I aam~sss the masssster of this foressst and my naaame~ss s issss Masasume. Thee huumansss haveee exploited thisss foresst faar too long~sss

sso I dessided too sscare them aaawayy~sss, but it ssseeems soomeone wasss fasster thaan mee~sss the whole sssity liesss in assshes. I assume, thiss wasss youu~sss?”

“Well I guess I am responsible for that in some way...But what have those humans done to anger you?” I ask fast to change the subject

“Nooormally~sss we liived in peasss, buut when~sss they got a neww king~sss they ressently sssstarted to hunt down rare creaturesss offf thseee foresst and brought them near extinction.

Aaand~sss todayy theyy~sss even desstroyed a big area of sssthe foressst in no time. Butsss you brought the peasss back here~sss thank you, I will remember ssthat favor~sss Deity of Equilibrium Van Hohenheim~sss Maybee weee will meet again~sss” With this the gigantic serpent moves ahead and disappears very fast in the deeper parts of the forest.

“ Yeahh... uhhm nice to meet you... too” I shout after it

“Well we should be going too, or what would you suggest?” I ask Mia, but realizing that she is still unconscious

I continue my walk and nothing special happens, until I arrive at the street, which leads into the now wasted city.

The only thing that reminds of the city here are two statues, which were not affected by my destruction. The nearer I come the city, the louder the voices in my head become.

I cant really understand what they are saying, but I didn’t give it much effort to listen.

I walk straight into the destroyed area and look around, but here is really nothing left except a wasteland, covered with black sand. All buildings and all people here have ceased away in seconds and turned into this black sand.

°Mhh well now I am here... but what to do now? I planned to use my ability another time here, but I dont think this´ll be a good idea now.° me

while I am still in my thoughts, I walk towards the center of this wasted area, like something is pulling me in its direction.

As I reach the so seeming center. The voices in my head stop and it becomes suddenly silent.

I also felt as if someone is watching me, so I look around but there is no one to find. I even take a closer look around, but there is still no one nearby.

“So... what to do now mhh? At first it seems as if something wants me to come here... but now...” I ask out loud again

°Well I guess I try to meditate here a bit. Maybe this can enlighten me in someway.° me

I sit down and close my eyes, as I try to calm down and feel the flow of my surrounding. It seems that nothing is to happen, except that I will fall asleep if this is ongoing as it is. After a while I decide to open my eyes again and cut it with the meditation and look for something else I can do.

I open my eyes and get a surprise. I am to find myself back in my old room, from when I was a human. Everything was where I left it. Even the duvet cover has the same stain as it used to have.

But talking about my bed... right in the bed a person is sleeping and at first I didn´t recognize it, but a closer look discovers it. The person sleeping in the bed is me, Me my old self, my human self.

I cant believe what I am to see, but the sleeping person suddenly wakes up and sits now on the bed, with a peaceful smile towards me.

“Yo, Hohenheim. Did you have a nice time in the other world?” **** asks me

“Who are you? Why am I here ? And what is the meaning of this” I point at him '

“Haha, yes I guess you have a lot of questions you want to ask me.

At the moment you are in the world of thoughts, its also called the soul. To be precisely this place is your soul. Everybody has a soul, even the gods. This is the place where good is divided from evil and the balance estimates and connects your inner self. The better meaning for it would be the Yin&Yang I guess.” *** explains in a reassuring voice

“So I am in my soul? But that does not explain who you are and why I am here.” I now again calmly respond

“Haha, haven´t you just figured out who I am by now? But ok I´ll tell you. I am you and you are me. I am the shadow of yourself, I represent all your unspoken desires and wishes.

And I have called for you here, because you have to make a decision. You have to decide either you chose the path of a deity and cut all your ties with being human, or you chose humanity and will stay a mortal caged in the circle of society.

You must decide, at the moment there are inner disputes going on inside of your soul. This makes you unstable and if they become uncontrollable you will become a creature of pure hate and darkness, which will destroy everything in his way. In other words you must bring your self to peace and balance, so that you are able to accept the duty and powers of a god. Or you´ll go back to your old life, live a normal life as human, get old, find your love and die at the high age of 87.”

Shadow me leads my view to an illusion, which shows me, in the human world having a family and seeming happy.

Then he shows me another illusion, which shows me as a deity and I seem to deal with some unpleasant stuff. It seems that I am in some counsel meeting of the higher gods and the odds are against me. But I seem to have my fun in that version too.

“I think that you already know my answer, correct?” I ask my shadow me

“I guess so, haha. After all I am you.” Shadow me replies smiling

°Its not hard of a thought. I wanted to escape the human life from the start, so there is no point in returning to that life.° I must not even consider the other option

“I want to become a deity! I want to learn about my powers and I am accepting all my duties as the deity i´ll become. My conclusion is made!” I scream out in a very enthusiastic way

“You´ve made the right decision” The shadow me laughs at me, while Everything around me starts falling apart and behind the crumbling walls a white light estimates.

Until I could see nothing anymore, than a white shining around me. I am urged to close my eyes and a few seconds later it feels like I can open my eyes again so I do.

“I am back! Hmm that was very reassuring in some kind of ways.” I state to my self

Suddenly the oracle appears right in front of me. It starts to float and opens it self, then it flicks through the pages until its stops at a page I didn´t recognized before.

The page is named “The religion of Balance” and beneath it there is a small explanation given.

This is your clan, Van Hohenheim, now that you have fully become a deity yourself. On your journey you may find unique creatures or humans, which will decide to follow you and worship you. And maybe you will take a liking to them and want to reward them, with an invitation to your clan. So they will be part of your religion. Within this religion exists a ranking. The highest rank is of course the god himself, but you can decide to nominate three high positions serving directly under you. Therefore there are the three ranks listed beneath this.

The Archangel: this is the power fullest member of your religion and gains, after been nominated by you, one complete power of an affinity you posses. Additionally the Archangel is able to transform into the heavenly created armor and can use the god weapon, if allowed by the god. In rare cases they even can establish their own weapon, which is called Angel weapon. Both the weapon and armor are nearly indestructible, except for a god or other really high beings they cannot be destroyed. The Archangel has the authority to command all other members and takes over the command in special situations. This position is really mighty and shall better not be given easy.

The Lieutenant: this is the one position of the leader of a clans army. Once the day may come, that you become a famous and heavily worshiped god. If this happens this position can be nominated to a good leader you see as trust worthy and skilled. This title gives the authority to command the god´s army and worship you with all the might he can come up with, even if it means to slaughter the incredulous. With this title were also to come a few powers. In most of the cases the Lieutenant gains ability´s alike the destruction and manipulating powers of his deity. Also he gets an attracting personality, which allows him to gather more follower of your religion and he can incite his men.

The High priest: The last of the three positions. While the Lieutenant leads the military force, the High priest is more of a preacher to the outside. He will mostly stay put and peaceful, always looking for a peaceful solution. But not to underestimate this fellow in power, because the High priest gains with its rank affinity’s in mostly all magic elements available. Additionally he is able to cast spells up to the highest magic tier 8. He also begins to posses a shining and adorable personality and appearance to others, so that one will feel the urge to listen to him. Perfectly for gathering more followers. The High priest also leads the normal believers and has authority to establish a church and to nominate priests.

So much for the three ranks. And good luck gaining fame and become a well known god.

I read that, as an instant knowledge flows into my mind.

The magic tiers from 1 to 8.

Normally there are only 8 tiers of magic, but with two excepts within it. The god magic, the Hebraic magic and the world magic. But more to them later. At first the different tiers of magic describe themselves in my head.

Tiersdiscription 1mostly enhancements of senses, like better hearing.

can be casted by mostly everyone who trains his body

or has an affinity in magic2future telling and foresight, also some small actions with

the three elements, water, earth and fire. Can be casted by humans,

also without training.3Controlling all elements, except for light and darkness. The caster can

summon fireballs or tornados and causing big destruction. Mostly seen

casteed by monster of lower ranks, but also humans can cast this spell with

a lot of training.4Here starts the big deal. this tier can be necromancy or the magic of nature.

progressed healing magic and even fertillity spells. Can only be casted from

highly trained humans and monsters. High priests of sephir can use them to heal

or control the elements5within this tier, everything from the lower tiers can be casted more effectly

and much stronger. This tier includes all magic affinity´s, if the caster posses

an affinity he is able to cast a tier 5 spell. Humans can very rarely use this tier

only a few humans ever where known to be able to do so.6Tier 6, the tier of the demon magic. Demons are able to bring chaos and

destruction over the world. tier 6 spells are as tier 5 spells, they can be any

element and posses a very high destructive effect. Humans who killed a demon

and drank their blood are able to transform into a demonic creature with the

strenght of this tier. They are said to be able to destroy even a city with a single hit7The kings tier, all human kings are able to cast one tier 7 spell, thats what makes them a king

fear and catastrophical disaster were to happen if one cast such a spell. Even the higher demons

feared those spells. This tier is knwon for eridicating many nations in a war long ago.8Tier 8. this is the master tier. no human is able to cast this high tier, unless he is sworn to a god

with the position of a High priest. This tier can only be casted by ancient and legendary creatures

for example dragons or holy beings. With this tier nearly everything is possible. Reincarnations,

fertillity for a complete country, or anihilation of a whole nation. The dragon clan once used such

a spell called Armagedon, the result is the vilscard field.

At least there are the 3 excepts from before.

The god magic: This magic cant be erased by anyone, unless the god who conjured this magic does. Only the strong deity´s where able to use magic of the god level, so its for example of no meaning if the god of beer conjures a god magic spell, because this would be non affective to the world. When otherwise the god of weather conjures such magic it may cause fatal effects to the world, as for example the world will have to face another ice age. With this magic tier every god has his importantly meaning to the system of balance, but if they were to abuse their powers, the god of Equilibrium makes an except and can erase the spell, to secure the balance.

The Hebraic magic: This is the magic known to existed first, every magic is said to be created after the Hebraic magic. Mostly forgotten, from all creatures and humans only rarely someone comes up with the knowledge and skill to use this magic. But when used skilled and perfectly, this magic is able to encounter even the gods.

The world magic: This is the irregular magic, which can only be conjured by the beings of existence . As for example the seven sins, or the four horsemen. This magic effects whole worlds and is only used for the nature circle of balance.

°This is interesting. And.... wow I feel a bit dizzy... Whats going on?

.

.

.

.

I feel much stronger than before... And my senses have become so sharp. It feels like I can perceive my complete surrounding.

And what is with this reassured feeling inside my complete body... I am soo... so calm.

I am feeling happy. Really happy. I just have to try lots of things now... there is so much progress in my mind, its just … wow ° I start too feel as if the world turns around me and I can see my complete surrounding instantly.

I feel just like I have to jump up into the air and see what will happen then.

I close the oracle and jump up the air... without any problems, nor focusing strength in my legs. I jump up to 40 meters into the air. And up there my body reacts on its own. I know what to do instantly. I clap my hands and my energy floats in enormously amounts through my body. I start glowing in a black and white light, I cross-leg and start to float. Now my right body part glows black and my left body half glows white, while my left eye shines black and my right shines white.

I instantly know that I reached the ultimate state of a god and this is my Yin&Yang form in which I can bring utterly peace with my powers of balance. I close my eyes and hold my hands together, then I focus on releasing my sp all over the wasted city.

With a sudden “Hah” sound I open my eyes and gestured, as if I would push something away from me, with my hands. Now immediately, the black sand, starting from around me, is blown away and gathering itself from all over the city to one big sand orb, which floats towards me. I stand up, still floating in the air, and touch the orb with my white shining hand, instantly the orb turns white from the inside, until its completely white. I take my hands of it and it explodes. The white sand lands all over the wasted area and green grass, also as small fir saplings start to estimate, while the sand disappears. After 3 minutes the whole area established a new green and growing color and is a newly born part of the forest.

I stop glowing and recovered my normal body tint, as I slowly sink to the ground.

I pick up Mia and felt something odd about her, as I grab her.

But also here I already know what to do.

“Wake up, my loyal Weapon. Its time to serve me!”I say in a harsh and resounding voice

I instinctively knew that, that man Zaito has covered Mia in a barrier of his sp, so that Mia couldn´t wake up. But now I broke through his mental barrier with my sp and my voice should have reached Mia too.

“Ho... Hohenheim!!! I am soo sorry!! I couldn´t break through his barrier...” Mia transforms back to her human self and cry´s while hugging me

“Yah, I know. Its all right now, I broke his barrier. But I think he took notice, that I broke through it.” I say in a calming way

“But... but.. all the trouble you went through...! I should have been there to assist you!” Mia continues to cry

“As I said. Its allright now Mia. I am not angry, I am happy that you are awake now and that I could´ve manage to make such a big progress for me.” I try to calm her

“What … progress?.. Whaaaa you´re taking about progress... You´ve just become the real deal... Ho Hohenheim you are a complete deity by now! Thats awesome” Mia stops the crying and starts to sound happy

“Yeah, I kinda made the decision to adjust my soul to my new me as deity.” I say rejoicing and hugging Mia back

“So you can use all powers by now?” Mia asks me surprised

“Yeah, at least I think I have the knowledge for most of my powers now. I even changed you into my weapon that wa...” I am interrupted by Mia

“You... did whattt?! Oh now I remember, I remember everything.... You are a pervert! You took my virginity from me!!” Mia pushes me away and shouts at me

“HUH.... Your virgin... your what?? when did I do such a thing... ah ehh not that you are not cute enough for that but... ähh I mean...” Mia brings me out of my calm

“Hahahaha, you are so cute when you feel insecure. But its kinda the truth. You pulled me out of the umbrella. To pull out the god weapon comes similar to an orgasm for the weapon. Especial the first time is extreme. Too bad that I couldn´t enjoy it though I was sealed behind that barrier, but I recognized everything ongoing.” Mia says in a teasing way

“An orgasm....? When I pull you out? Thats more than weird and confusing. Now I think twice before making use of you as weapon.” I state

“Whaaa? Do you dislike me ?? well maybe I explained it a bit weird, ok? It just feels good to be used as weapon from the god. So please make use of me anytime.” Mia shouts out a bit panicked

“Ok, ok hahaha. This time I got you on that.” I say to her very teasing

“You are mean. Lets celebrate, that you´ve become a real god and tell me about your powers, I wanna know very badly what powers you have.” Mia

“Ok good idea.” I respond

I let Mia transform into the umbrella and carve some runes into the ground. This time I summoned a complete wooden cabin out of the ground and some furniture in it.

Inside the cabin is a fireplace and a big bed, also as a table with two chairs.

I carve another rune on the ground and summon two bottles with sake.

“Mia as the celebration wants, we´ll go hunting for something nice to eat” I say

°I think eating and drinking, so as sleep. Are the only things I dont want to miss from my old human self, haha” I think by myself

“Oh ok, sounds great... and like you maybe know, Mia loves delicious food.” Mia suddenly speaks in 3rd person of herself

We went out the cabin and into the woods, as it gets dark already. After a good while I felt the presence of a pheasant and shot it down with my sp pointing my finger like a pistol on it. Well a bit childish, but hey it worked,

Because the both of us can´t cook very well, we just prepared it to roast it over the fireplace.

We drank a lot of sake and enjoyed our meal. And I told Mia in a detailed conversation about my powers and what I claim to do from now on.
