"YES! HE'S DEAD! I CAN FINALLY REGAIN MY BODY!" Polaris was screaming in joy and was just about to completely take over when he noticed someone in Niflheim.
"Who are you!?" Polaris was surprised.
In front of him stood a long haired man who wore a shirt with a windbreaker on, he had his hands in his pockets.
"Me? Oh I'm just passing by." Mortis replied with a grin, his voice was deep and tonal.
"Wait, are you?" At once Polaris realised who was in front of him and smirked.
"You cannot affect me in this place. This is my entire being you fool! Here I AM KING! NOT YOU! NOT THAT KID! NOT THOSE MINISTERS! BUT ME!" He roared causing the realm to shake.
"Is that so?" Mortis questioned as he took out his right hand to reveal something glowing.
Polaris's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw it.
"No! HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! NO NO NO NO NO!" Polaris screamed like a frightened cat when he saw what Mortis had.
Niflheim, although composed of frost, was made up at the fundamental level by Ethereal Aether which was Non-Corporeal in form and thus free from any attack of the Corporeal Realm.
However it was still made out of Ethereal Frost and it's greatest enemy was without doubt Ethereal Fire.
Polaris was never worried about it as Muspelheim was far weaker in state than Niflheim and thus had a low chance of endangering it.
But now as he saw the fistful of Ethereal Fire in Mortis's hand, Polaris felt fear.
This was the fire that could only be created once by igniting Muspelheim itself and once used, would result in the realm of fire's destruction.
This was the final gift given to Wilhelm by Rachel before her death with that kiss.
"Tell me what you want! I'll give you everything you desire in this world, just spare me!" Polaris, who had never faced a threat in his life, immediately bowed down in front of Mortis.
"There is indeed something I desire." Mortis had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Polaris was delighted hearing this, perhaps this strange being wouldn't kill him!
"Tell me sir what you desire I will give it to you immediately!" Polaris hurriedly spoke.
"What I want." Mortis paused and looked at Polaris.
"Is your life!" Mortis threw the flame towards Polaris.
"NO! AHHH IT HURTS!!!! STOP IT! STOP IT!" Polaris screamed in pain as the Ethereal Fire began to work.
Polaris was the entirety of Niflheim given consciousness and thus the fire spread to the entirety of the realm.
Niflheim, for the first time since it was separated from Muspelheim, began to melt.
Enormous amounts of Ethereal Frost melted and was converted to it's base form.
Ethereal Aether.
"It's taking too long, I have to take some now!" Mortis quickly got into the action.
The Saint was still alive and he had to thus neutralize the immediate threat first.
"Time to advance." Mortis thought back to the End Space.
The Council who were observing suddenly sensed copious amounts of Ethereal Aether being released from Wilhelm.
The Kanaan who by now had healed was also surprised by this and paused briefly.
More and more amounts of it were being released but instead of dispersing they were gathering above Wilhelm's head.
"I am that which you have long evaded within yourself.
I am that which you fear and have tried to escape.
I am the force you have suppressed for eternity.
I am destined to meet you.
I reduce all accounts of causality to dust.
I allow no return.
From me, none may hope.
I am greater than darkness, more solitary than the Abyss.
I am the last thing you will ever behold.
I am Death, the Destroyer of Worlds." It was a calm and serene voice but The Council hearing those words felt wary of what was to come.
Above Mortis's head a flower slowly formed.
The Kanaan felt as if chains had sprung up and binded it.
"Do you know mate, everything is made up of smaller components? Each working like a cog in the wheel which themselves are composed of even smaller wheels? The body has bones, flesh and nerves for that which are composed at fundamental levels by cells and those cells? Formed of organelles which are formed of molecules then even deeper there are atoms and so it continues ad infinitum."
'If one were to bind even just a single piece of the cog then it would be nothing but if one were to bind all the pieces of the cog, restricting them from acting then there would be a reaction. A good one. Let's take this same example and apply it into the body of a creature. First one chains the atoms which leads to the restriction of molecules following which cells also stop and then before you even realise it. Every single part of your body has ceased functioning. That leads to only a single route." Mortis snapped his fingers.
"Death"
An intense pressure wave swept the End Space as a sphere came into view, floating behind Mortis's head.
The Kanaan understood that it was the Iron Seed that was formed during the Saint Stage.
This meant that the enemy was still not strong enough. If it could attack now, it could kill hi-
The Kanaan was unable to complete its thought process as its brain died.
The Iron Seed that the Kanaan had seen did exist however while The Kanaan was still comprehending the image of the Iron Seed, Mortis's flower had advanced under the influence of the enormous levels of Ethereal Energy and had already completed construction.
What remained now was a mass of iron chains that had been shaped into a flower.
This was Mortis's Animus Flower.
Animus Flower of Death - Deathherald Oblivion Flower!
The Council sensing what had transpired were alarmed.
Even Karsus was surprised by what had occurred.
"I thought that the resultant flower would be strong but this is something else!" Karsus was slightly worried.
With his calculative abilities he easily deduced that The Council would try to wipe out Mortis.
Ebenzer, seeing the Animus Flower, frowned deeply and waved his hand.
"We must execute him! He has formed a Type - Null Animus Flower, According to the Rules he has to be terminated now!" One of The Council members spoke up and the rest followed.
"Yes! A Type- Null Animus Flower endangers Paradise's safety!"
"Execute him!"
Even Karsus felt the urge to request to execute Mortis himself.
A Type - Null Animus Flower was something that was a taboo subject even before Paradise was there and now that someone had formed it, their only faith would be total termination from Reality.
Ebenzer raised his hand, silencing The Council's pleas.
"He shall be executed! I've already dispatched my Kanaan to deal with him!" Ebenzer revealed and The Council, although silent, was pleased.
The Kanaan of a high-ranking individual like the Deputy Minister nearly reached the power of a Quasi-Deity. Not only that but they also were able to lead Kanaans of lower ranks as well.
Karsus however was not worried.
"Let's see how good you will use my gift!" Karsus thought, amused.
