The black blade of chaos streaked through the air and flew toward the god of fate. It is pitch black and seems to absorb light. It looks like a tear in space where void energy is pouring through into the plane. It looks very dangerous but the god of fate didn't move.
He still had his arms spread wide and beckoning for an attack. He didn't seem worried at all that the blade of chaos was approaching him. He should be worried since the blade of chaos is more than 100m long. It is as tall as the god of fate in this form.
The blade flew and hit its target. Then it went through the god of fate and continued on until it disappeared far into the distance. His attack, though impressive looking, did nothing. There is just nothing to hit.
The god fate smirked and asked. "Satisfied?"
Aeternus huffed indignantly. He answered gruffly, "Not nearly."
He is not satisfied at all. Soverick postulated that their attacks might have produced an effect but it is too small to be noticed. He said that repetition should make any effect observable if there is any effect at all.
So he won't give up yet. The fact that he can't see any effect doesn't mean there isn't any effect.
He swung his claymore again and produced the death reaper. The black entity with a scythe appeared and proclaimed death but the god of fate wasn't marked. The attack couldn't find him either. That was a bust too. It didn't work but he didn't give up.
He pumped chaos energy into a giant cloud around him. The black cloud spread far and covered the god of fate. He expected to see something when the god of fate is submerged within a close of corrosive Chaos energy. He was disappointed again. It did nothing to the god of fate. In fact, the cloud occupied the space the god of fate should be in.
Aeternus tried to will the shard of power to hurt the god of fate but it changed nothing. There's just nothing to hurt. It's like trying to grab hold of a mirage. What he is seeing is a trick of the light and nothing more. The god of fate is somewhere he cannot grasp or fathom or make contact with. All his
The god fate smiled genially. He shook his head in pity and said, "There's nothing you can do to me. You are wasting your time and mine. We have no karma. You contributed to the death of Zernon and I was magnanimous to give you the mortal realm for your contribution. You helped me and I helped you. There's nothing beyond that. Our score is even. Why don't you just let me return to my life of peace and quiet."
A spark went off in Aeternus's mind and he got the beginnings of an idea. It is not a light bulb or a full idea but he got something important from the teasing. He withdrew his Chaos energy and ruminated on the idea.
He was muttering to himself again and again. "Karma. Karma. Karma."
The way the god of fate phrased it made him realize why he couldn't harm him. They don't have a connection. There's nothing that binds them and Aeternus has no hold over him. Without a hold or a connection, he can never come into contact with the real god of fate. So Aeternus began to review their interactions for a connection. The idea formed fully in his mind.
He pointed accusatively at the god of fate. "We have karma. You attacked me."
The god of fate laughed complacently. He wagged his fingers at Aeternus. "Now, don't go making false accusations. I didn't attack you. You came to me."
It was Aeternus that came to try his luck and he didn't attack. He was just watching the mortal realm in peace when Aeternus came to him. It is his favorite pastime. He didn't attack Aeternus because he can't and he has never attacked anyone since he became the god of fate.
Aeternus shook his head. "Not now. Before. You attacked me before."
The god of fate got an ominous feeling immediately. His future was full of possibilities but it is beginning to narrow down. Some futures are being cut off right now. Whatever Aeternus is on to can affect his future which means it can affect him.
He hurriedly explained. "I have never attacked you. I have only been involved with your attack once. I may have created the GodSlayer and added an extra Authority but I didn't pull the trigger. I was a part of it but the god slayer is no more. You destroyed it completely. The other gods involved with it are either dead or are your partners. I paid you for your efforts. So all the lines of karma have been cut off. We are not bound in any way."
His explanation was to dissuade Aeternus and to ascertain the lack of Karma. Either one will be okay but it didn't work. The dwindling of his future increased sharply until there is just one future. In that future, he is on his knees begging Aeternus. That is the only possible way out for him.
The god of fate dropped to his knees immediately and begged. "What do you want? I'll give you anything as long as you forgo this karma. Anything at all."
There's only one thing he holds in the highest esteem and that is his life. It is not his pride or self-respect. He willingly subjected himself to exile by making an oath of non-interference with Zernon. If it will guarantee his life, he will beg and suffer patiently.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Aeternus chuckled evilly. "I have got you now."
He has figured out how to kill the god of fate and there's nothing that can stop him from doing it. The god of fate used Legion and made a fool out of them. It seems it is time for the god of fate to pay the piper.
