Chapter 218: "...’For Every Blessing, There Must Be A’..."

"Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, ’Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good’. Do people make their own gods?

Yes, but they are not gods!

Therefore, I will teach them— this time I will teach them my power and might. Then they will know that my name is ’the Lord’."- Jeremiah 16:19-21

Saku, once again is floating through his "dream space" like he did when he had first received the IceEye and when he passed out to talk the previous Yin Vessel, the Anjell Lilith who co-created humanity with their contemporary force, Yahweh.

While visibly unconscious, the current ’Vessel for all that is Yin’, passes by jaw dropping views of color mixing galaxies and sights possible within the confines of the universe’s infinite space.

However, only 1 billion light years away from the slightly snoring delinquent, one of the most destructive events in the universe happens.

A supernova star explodes and a light blue wave of radiation, a "Shock Breakout", consumes multiple planets within it’s solar system, and the unimaginable force shatters each celestial body into a travelling cluster of rocks.

The Shock Breakout also reaches knocked out, drifting Saku, but with a less dramatic push. Only making him slightly change direction in a backwards weightless tumble, and waking him up, upside-down.

Saku: "What the f-"

Even in the vacuum of space, within the expanding radioactive byproduct of the cosmic firework, it creates enough of a temporary gascious atmosphere for a proceeding sound wave containing multiple infinites of decibels.

The deafening high pitched screech hits the eardrums of the confused 19 year old.

But before his hands can reach his own head, a pair of soft, warm hands protects his ears for him.

His eyes open in surprise.

Exactly how the design of his IceEye changed when he was informed of his blessing, once again, Saku’s left eye has a purple and pink diamond checkerboard pattern. Just like Leviathan’s stolen right Anjell eye.

While still oximoronically ’floating upside down through space’, the young man’s eyes open to the sight of his mother, but only her left eye is open.

Not with a matching green eye as his right, but only one, a matching left pink and purple diamond checkerboard pattern. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Saku: "M-Ma?"

Lilith: "Once again, I apologize, my child.

Because of my selfishness, I will always see you as one of my sons, so I take the liberty to use your available memories and take this physical form, whenever you enter your Yggdrasill Mindscape."

Saku looks around at the chunks of destroyed planets around him, but none touch him, nor Lilith.

Saku: "My... Yggdrasill... Mindscape?"

The mimicking mother of humanity nods and turns his body to witness a large group of floating gargantuan meteors, much larger than the Icemen or Leviathan’s, heading on a crash course with a red, gold, and teal planet, clearly not Earth, but at the very least, it is the same size.

Lilith: "For most of all conscious life, a Yggdrasill is represented with a tree that is as decorative as each individual life story is told.

For every existence of a life tree, there must be a surrounding backdrop or blank page for the story to actually exist."

Saku’s eyes never blink as the traveling cluster of space rocks, not only get pulled in by the planet’s gravity, but the cosmic force wasn’t even necessary for the cataclysmic bombardment to happen.

Lilith: "Those of us who can withstand an existence as a vessel for all that is Yin, our Yggdrasill Mindscape, is all of the universe’s available space and the possibilities it holds."

Without an atmosphere to disintegrate one of the universe’s unavoidable catastrophes, over thousands of pieces from destroyed planets hit the surface of the celestial body,

Lilith: "The countless possibile interactions, creating a unique domino effect, which can eventually lead to miracles of life, or as drastic as the death of a sun within a solar system."

Visible damage to the planet, possibly with it’s own possible form of life, can be recorded from Saku’s position.

The kind resemblance to Saku’s drunk of a mother, puts a hand over her closed right eye.

Lilith: "Destruction.

It is the most unfortunate truth that must exist, but why?

Aren’t creation and construction positives that make all forms of life better?

Wasn’t the decision made by Yahweh and I, the correct choice?

So why does life have to die?

How come the same stars that helped birth life, can also be so destructive upon it’s death?"

Saku’s expression and interest in the sight of massive destruction is similar to Shelly’s face while looming over the currently being flattened Roronora City.

Saku(thinking): *It’s... awesome...*

Unintelligible by the naked eye, and without a sun to revolve around, the defenseless rock satellite has been knocked out of it’s orbit.

The mother and son float by another planet that is also not Earth, but is approximately 75% land, 25% water, and a clear atmosphere containing visible clouds. It is atleast three times the size of the previously affected victim of the cosmic domino effect.

Lilith: "Life.

Potential happiness and inspiration for hope.

When Yahweh and I had first attempted to birth a species together, we were obviously so happy and excited.

Together, we had found a suitable ’Egg’, a starting celestial home, perfect for our little ones to develop into what we had hoped.

One that didn’t have as many hazards as the eventual home Yahweh had to place our hope into.

Unfortunately, even with my previous right Eye of Wisdom’s existence, our knowledge over the possibilities of creation within our selected star system, didn’t prepare us for the equally possible destruction it could also contain."

In an extravagant moment, Saku and his "mother " watch as the smaller planet collides perfectly with the 2nd larger rock.

From where the two rocky bodies are making contact, a white light covers the hemisphere as the smaller planet enters the more massive’s core.

The entire blue, green, and white planet begins to glow red/orange the more it is penetrated.

Until eventually, in almost like a ’David Vs. Goliath’ tale the smaller planet exits out the other side, completely surrounded in molten lava. The entire surface larger planet however cracks completely and also shatters like the previous dominos did.

Lilith: "When we had found out our desired Egg was the victim of this unstoppable chaos, I was devastated, but Yahweh...

Yahweh didn’t give up hope...in us.

In our ability to achieve the success we’ve been searching for, together."

The surviving small planet, covered in the molten core from it’s victim, gets smaller and smaller, but in over exaggerating speed, the lava cools down leaving a lonely, similar looking grey "astroid".

Lilith: "Not knowing about Leviathan, but knowing we had our lifetime, Yahweh and I got to work doing research and studying. We got better together, and because of each other we steadily gained progress.

There was another moment that gave us a scare though."

The two watch as the small grey wondering satellite slowly approaches the gravitationally pull of a planet eventually to be named Earth...but there’s no orbiting moon until...

Lilith: "At first, we thought the same result would happen and my confidence was completely erased, but once again, Yahweh pulled me back up with a smile and showed me..."

The planet turned moon "slowly" stays in Earth’s orbit while Saku and Lilith plant their footing on the new satellite, admiring Pangaea.

Lilith: "...’Our Egg is safe, because of our faith in each other, Lilith’, is what Yahweh told me.

’We believed more land for them to flourish was needed but the water dominance of our new Egg has given us a reminder’."

After witnessing the pairing of the Moon and Earth, Saku turns upright with Lilith. His gaze moving back towards his stunning mother in a long black dress.

Seeing the darkest of dark cloth, reminds him of reality outside of his Mindscape.

Saku: "Oh, yea! What the Hell is going on with that eye I was ’blessed’ with!?!

It’s taking control of my body and fighting people I consider allies!"

The "Mother of Humanity" takes a moment with a guilty expression before she answers through a nervous quiver.

Lilith: "Y-Yes...every Eye of Wisdom has a blessing....

B-But, as an appropriate Vessel of Yin, you are well aware of the universal law, ’with all blessings there must also be curses’ that exist."

Saku: "Curses?!?*

Lilith, clearly uncomfortable with confrontation, is avoiding eye contact and can barely explain herself.

Lilith: "Wah- well, y-yes Dear.

I- ah didn’t have um-"

Pissed off Saku notices her stammering and clear guilt for making one of her children angry.

A 180° different personality of his biological human mother and, like any reasonable child who loves and cares for his mother, seeing her truly feeling guilty, kinda makes Saku feel guilty for getting upset in the first place.

Saku: *sighs* "Listen, I’m sorry for yelling at you, but...but my friends are in danger right now and if my body ends up killing the two trying to save me..."

His eyes swell up at both the admittance that Katsu and Shelly are his friends, but also...

Saku: "If I kill those two, then I ultimately lose everybody..."

Suddenly, making his single human tear float off into space, a hand pulls his head in for a warm hug, but an embrace of a completely different form of love, compared to Itsuka’s.

Her cheek presses against his and Saku can do nothing but be stunned from the foreign feeling motherly affection.

Lilith: "I’m sorry for disappointing you, Sweetheart.

I’m sorry I only disclosed the benefits of the new life in which I had exposed to you.

Now that we have this opportunity, as your mother, I will not fail you this time...."

{Current Day}

[Former Roronora City]

At the very same moment, Katsu’s Anjell Eye moves independently, locking in on a threat and Shelly’s incredibly keen Valkyrie sense kicks in.

From the northwest, a mile behind the demolition Icemen, like an underwater explosion, shooting upwards is sobbing Berserk Saku, covered in blood and his SoulSeiõrShield’s color resembling the color of an endless void.

Saku’s human eye is once again knocked out and closed.

His Berserk Eye of Wisdom is still in control, but to both Shelly and Katsu’s astonishment, the Vessel is floating in the air. The same way Madame Fryer defies the laws of gravity using Seiõr.

Shelly: "How is he doing that?!?"

Katsu’s Above Sanpaku stare is unwaivering even when glaring upward and a smirk creeps on his face.

Katsu: "That Nephilim guy’s ability..."
