Celine looked at herself in the mirror and a frown formed on her face, the wrinkles on her face displeased her.
"Am I getting old? Ever since that little bastard was born, I'm not tight as I used to be"
Rumble!
'Is it going to rain?, how many years has it been. An orgy outside while it's raining... it's tempting'
As the lightning illuminated the bathroom, the thunder stirred her heart.
Celine exited the bathroom and approached the bed, she slipped under the blankets and looked at Tom who was peacefully sleeping and sighed.
"Why are you such a disappointment, if only you were a real man and treat me like the Queen I am, then I wouldn't have to find comfort in other men"
As she stretched her hand to the drawer, she reached for her dildo.
"Don't pull that shit in my presence. And Tom can't treat you like a queen because you behave like a whore"
Celine dropped the dildo on the ground as she heard the voice, she looked at the window and noticed Rio leaning against the wall however he looked different.
"Why are you in my room?, just because you look different outside, it doesn't change the inside.
At your very core, you're a failure like your father"
Celine felt disappointment when her provocation failed, Rio was not only calm and his eyes were not just cold, but they were devoid of emotions, not even a drop of affection.
"Why do you hate me? I thought about it many times but I still don't understand your hatred for me"
Celine's body tense up as she heard him speak, even his voice was devoid of emotions but what shook her the most was the question itself.
"Well, hating isn't a flaw, it's a skill and I do it for the love of the game"
Rio's blue eyes began to glow as he slowly approached Celine.
"What happened to you! Who are you"
His brunette hair was now white, his brown eyes gone, and his entire body was sculpted into something otherworldly.
"I understand it now"
Rio sighed as he touched her cheek, as he looked into her eyes he felt nothing but a shallow, self-absorbed person.
"I was going to make it quick and disappear but actions have consequences, [The World]"
"Wha..."
Before she even spoke, Celine noticed that they were no longer in her room but on the roof of their apartment.
"It all makes sense, you don't me because I remind you of my father...you hate me because I'm a constant reminder of your failures
When you look at me, it's like you're seeing a mirror... you're scared!"
Celine felt her body go cold as she heard Rio's words, the grin on his face made her shiver.
"You're scared that I'll become you, hollow, empty, inferior and... nothing but do not be afraid, because it all ends today"
Clouds began to form in the sky as Rio raised his hand, with a snap of his fingers the clouds covered the 100Km radius and it began to rain.
"What... is happening?, Did you become a hero?, but how did you receive the blessing of God?!"
Celine tried to fish for more information but she was ignored, as silence filled the atmosphere, she noticed that the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
"This is not enough. If I am going to flood this town, I need to succeed!"
Celine felt her world go dark as she heard Rio's words, as angry as a person was, this was genocide.
"Are you crazy!, you want to kill us all, what about the kids, the women... What about me?"
"You think new children born here are given a chance? They are fed into the grinder.
They become either victims like I was, or monsters like Bruce… or hollow shells like you.
By allowing this to continue, the world is already killing them, just slowly.
I am simply bringing the end to what was always destined to fail"
He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a whisper that cut through the storm.
" In this cesspool, another Celine will be born.
Another Rio will be tortured. The cycle is guaranteed.
As a Great Old One, I do not create new cycles… I end them."
Rio waved his hand and a staff made of silver began to form, he raised the staff and electricity began to course through it.
A bolt shot from the staff and to the sky, the bolt fused with the clouds and a storm was created.
"Wait, I almost forgot someone [The world]"
Celine noticed that Rio was not only levitating but he was also holding Mr. Jenkins by the neck.
"Do you think that the Watchtower will let this slide, the other heroes will stop you, you're a..."
"You talk too much, as a Great Old One my eyes can see the "Truth", I can see souls and Aura of all living beings, Bruce is not here and there is no one from the Watchtower in this town
Just cannon fodder claiming to be chosen by God, wait some of them are trying to flee"
Rio infused the staff with more electricity and his [Authority of Autumn], the bolt became dark.
The bolt shot from the staff and landed on a far away building filled with the cannon fodder, they didn't get electrocuted, however, they began to disappear as they turned to dust.
[Authority of Autumn] allowed Rio to create, shape, manipulate and induce the season of autumn; it also influences rot, decay, tiredness, and withdrawal.
The bolt didn't just hit the physical bodies, it also affected their minds, spirits and souls, plunging them into decay.
"I didn't mean to go that far...now they can't reincarnate, well let's deal with you Mr. Jenkins"
Celine saw Rio opening his mouth in a bizarre manner, his mouth was filled with many things ranging from planets, stars, galaxies to black holes.
Celine began to cry as she saw Mr. Jenkins turn in a withered husk, light particles from his body entered Rio's mouth.
"What did you do! I should've killed you at birth, you're a monster!!!"
"You made me what I am, i can't read memories like my predecessor without corrupting the mind
So I devoured his soul instead, he can't reincarnate though...he shouldn't reincarnate"
Mr. Jenkins' corpse fell on the floor and Rio slowly began to approach Celine who tried to run away, but she felt something hold her in place.
Rio walked slowly toward her and touched her glabella, tears began to stream from Celine's face as she felt something inside her die.
She felt cold, It was as though the last green root within her had been torn out. The soil of her soul was barren now, incapable of ever bearing fruit again.
"What did you do to me!"
"Living beings collect Dharma and adhama as they experience life, your Adhama is greater than your Dharma...so i decayed the smallest Dharma you had left
Mother... you're going to the deepest pits of hell, this is my gift to you"
Celine felt herself rapidly age, she looked at the ground and noticed that it was filled with bodies.
"You...are evil!"
"Huh?, can a plague be sorry for killing people?
can an apocalypse be sorry for existing?
can time be sorry for going forward?
No they can't, these are forces of nature with duties and so am I
I am a Great Old One, ending things comes with the job description"
As she felt her body die and wither, a question came to her mind.
'Where did it all go wrong?'
