Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

The Phantoms were said to be the masters of the Void and Non-Existence, Nothingness!

While the Phoenixes represented life and rebirth, the Phantoms stood on the opposite end of the spectrum. They were beings of non-existence, born from the void that lay beyond creation. The Phantoms didn't control life or death—they controlled nothingness itself.

Their power was to erase, not just to destroy but to remove something entirely from reality, leaving no trace behind.

Where Phoenixes could manipulate the flow of life, the Phantoms could undo the very concept of existence. To encounter a Phantom was to face the possibility of being erased—not killed, not destroyed, but unmade.

The Phantoms had the power to erase people, places, souls, and even entire realms from the cosmic fabric, as if they had never been.

Unlike the Phoenixes, who were feared for disrupting life's natural flow, the Phantoms were feared because they threatened to undo creation itself.

In the ancient times before their banishment, the Phantoms were seen as a cosmic threat even to the gods. They could manipulate the void, the primordial nothingness that existed before creation, and with it, they could warp reality, time, and space.

Their ability to erase was not limited to the present; they could retroactively remove something from existence, wiping away memories, events, and consequences. To the Phantoms, the universe was a fragile construct, easily unraveled with a mere thought.

Unlike the Phoenixes, who sought to transcend death, the Phantoms had no interest in life or death. They existed outside these concepts, drawing their power from the absence of all things. The gods banished them not out of a fear of competition but out of the sheer danger they posed to the entirety of creation.

If the Phoenixes threatened to grant eternal life, the Phantoms threatened to end all life and existence, plunging everything back into the void from which it came.

Abilities of the Phantoms included;

Existential Erasure: Phantoms could completely remove things from existence. This was not just physical destruction; it was a total erasure.

Anything they targeted—whether a person, place, or even a concept—would be wiped from reality, memory, and time. It would be as if the thing had never existed at all.

Reality Warping: The power to bend reality to their will. They could create pockets of void where the laws of physics no longer applied, or where time ceased to exist. In these spaces, they were omnipotent, able to reshape or unmake the very fabric of the universe.

With this power, the Phantoms could realize the power of other races to make them their own, although they would more than one racial powers at the time, they could keep them in their bodies, this way they would choose which one to use at the time.

Still this ability wasn't for any phantom to use, maybe only their leader. The most terrifying reality about this was, the phantom could use these powers to their fullest potential than the original race.

Another power was, Void Mastery: Drawing their strength from the void, Phantoms could summon this primordial nothingness to consume entire realms.

The void was an all-devouring force, an unstoppable power that would consume everything in its path, leaving only emptiness in its wake. To face the void was to face total annihilation, beyond life, death, or even memory.

Soul Annihilation: Unlike the Phoenixes, who could restore life, the Phantoms could destroy souls completely. They could consume or erase a soul, removing it from the cycle of reincarnation and from the reach of even the gods.

Those destroyed by a Phantom would never be reborn, and their essence would be lost forever, something not even the gods could escape should a phantom target them!

Temporal Manipulation: Phantoms could manipulate time, erasing events, altering timelines, and undoing histories. They were able to retroactively change the past, removing people or actions from history as if they had never happened.

Meanwhile, Song speaks aloud, observing Pyris closely:... "The Phoenixes may have been cast out for their control over life and death, but they are nothing compared to us. Phantoms don't simply defy life, Pyris. We defy reality itself."

Pyris looked at Song with cold, unwavering eyes. "Reality itself, you say? What does that even mean?"

Song steped closer, his presence heavy, as if the air around him warps slightly, "The Phoenixes can choose when to return, yes. But the Phantoms… we can choose to erase. We were not cast out for meddling with life and death. We were exiled because we could undo existence. Completely."

Lia's voice cracks with fear [He's not lying, Pyris… the Phantoms… they're beyond anything you can imagine. They can erase people, places… even realms. As if they never existed! They wield powers that defy creation itself. The gods fear them far more than they ever feared the Phoenixes. I… I've seen what they can do.

They… they can make you cease to exist, Pyris. No memories, no traces. You'll be gone from the world, from time.]

He tilted his head slightly, considering both Song and Lia's words. His voice and demeanor remained calm "And that's what makes you the most feared race, isn't it, Song? The power to simply erase… to make something vanish not just from sight but from memory, from reality."

Song's eyes gleam with a dark pride, "Exactly. The gods themselves couldn't contain us. We don't just destroy. We undo. We remove the very idea of something's existence from the fabric of the world. Souls?

We devour them. Realms? We unmake them. Time? It bends to our will. The Phoenixes play with immortality, but we… we play with the void."

Lia urgently let out [Pyris, you must understand… the Phantoms can undo everything. There's no reincarnation for those they erase. Not even the gods can bring back what the Phantoms destroy. The Phoenixes can resurrect, yes, but against the Phantoms, their power is meaningless. If you're erased by a Phantom… you're erased forever.]

Pyris finally leaned forward slightly, eyes narrowing at Song, his voice calm but with a hint of curiosity. "So… the Phoenixes threatened the gods' authority by transcending life, and the Phantoms threatened existence itself by being able to erase it. Yet here you stand, in front of me as a guard. Why hasn't your kind consumed everything if your power is so absolute?"

Song with a slow, dark smile spreads across his face. "Because, Pyris, unlike the Phoenixes, we were bound. The gods cast us into the unknown realms, locked our true power away. But now… things are changing. The seals are weakening. The world is remembering.

And when we're free again, existence itself will tremble. Even the gods will not be safe from us."

Lia's Voice whispering in fear [Pyris, you're sitting across from something that can destroy the world as you know it. Please… be careful.]

Pyris was unfazed though he turns his attention back to Song "So… the Phantoms are bound by the gods. But you believe those bindings will break. And when they do, you'll be free to erase everything you choose?"

Song could help smile his voice taking on a sinister edge "Yes. And when that day comes, Pyris, not even the gods will be able to protect themselves. The void will consume all. And existence will bend to our will."

Pyris smirked slightly, his eyes gleaming with interest, "Interesting. But I wonder, Song… will you find me as easy to erase as the rest of them?"

His yes flash as he studies Pyris, sensing something deeper beneath his calm exterior. "You, young lord, are not like the rest. That much is clear. But even you are bound by the rules of existence. The Phantoms… are not."

Pyris leaned back again, unfazed, "We'll see about that."

Lia's voice softly, but with growing with unease [Pyris, this is no game. The Phantoms can end everything. Be careful!]

[They can even challenge the Endlesses!] The last part was quiet from Pyris to hear.

Pyris closed his eyes, appearing calm once more. 'I know, Lia. I'm not underestimating them… but neither should they underestimate me.'
