Heavenly Opposers

Death was born and created at the very beginning of all of time, it had seen much more than anyone could imagine, the rise of gods to their fall, the power of the divines to their loss, the rulers of the cosmos to their deaths, it had seen them all, standing in the dark as Death gazed upon the deaths of trillions that filled everything.

Death had long since forgotten how long Death had lived, just like the other cosmic beginner Death took the back seat, with powers that granted Death gift over end, with it Death created the perfect balance that guided the fate of life, everything was perfect, then just like the comic beginners, it gazed upon the birth of millions of new life.

Just like that life moved on, unlike the other cosmic beginners Death was never able to connect or become close to anybody, it also didn't help that the rest of the cosmic beginners were afraid of Death, Death's power terrified them all but none of that mattered to it as Death created the realm of Death, its beings that would guide the future.

But none of them was capable of getting close to Death. Death had millions of 'children' but that's it. It had meant nothing to Death, just like that the loneliness of time caught up to Death as it retreated back into its realm, Indifference was the key to Death as it never felt attached to anything, how could it, when it was death?

Even when Death granted the power from his broken Origin to one that might travel between the realms of death even when alive, Death wasn't moved, none of them could understand the true meaning of death, while the rest of the cosmic beginners built upon legacies and family, Death just continues to exist, very few were capable of standing beside it without taking the end in.

That was until Death saw that boy, due to losing all interest, Death had receded back into his domain, by now most of the comic beginners has even forgotten about him, Death hadn't stepped out of its domain in trillions of years, this was the domain born from the pure power of end, none was capable of walking here until that boy came along.

Death had never seen its darkness so accepting of any being, even with the bloodline it had passed on, its 'darkness' wasn't something that accepted anybody other than it but now this child was accepted by its 'darkness' and now after a long time Death's interest was sparked, it who had seen everything finally found something that complimented its darkness.

And Death wasn't disappointed, its darkness wound around the boy, for the boy had grasped the true meaning of death, for Death itself felt it had found a companion after all this time,

"You have made me intrigued"

Reaper or Death that was given its name spoke, Xiao listening to this just shrugged his shoulder as he responded,

"Well I have that quality"

"Quite the arrogant brat"

"True but I prefer to be called confident"

Xiao kept his conversation calmly with the being that trembled the whole of the cosmos,

"I don't particularly feel any higher desire from you"

"Well, I prefer to see the whole world and live, finding out new locations, seeing them with my eyes, and enjoying the culture of the place I visit, that's my desire"

Xiao finally told his true will to the being before him, making it silent, like this the two of them stayed in the darkness in silence, the darkness that made the two of them feel relaxed and at home, the two of them somehow seemed to have their own unique connection as they bathed in the silence,

"I have decided"

Reaper after a long moment of silence spoke,

"Um?.....what did you decide?"

Xiao asked,

"Journey"

Reaper replied,

"Journey?"

Confused Xiao looked at Reaper beside him but he wasn't able to even say a word before which the darkness beside him started to shake, a small portion of it broke out, and even before Xiao could react it flew directly into Xiao's body, infusing with him,

[The Beginning Of The End Is Connecting With The Host]

A message flashed before Xiao, he felt his mind slip between deep sleep and loss, it was then he kept hearing the whisper of Reaper in his ears.

"Tell me, lad, what is our relationship?"

"Relationship?...friends?"

In his hazy form, Xiao replied naturally,

"Friends?"

Reaper remained silent for a moment taking the words in before which it stood up, the darkness that surrounded it shook with it, and the scythe on its hand started to shake as its sharp end touched the forehead of the boy who was now being blessed with a power of darkness that was birthed from the first death,

"Since you called me your friend let me then help my friend avert a large fate that was forced upon him"

Just as Reaper's words faded a boom was sounded from him, the whole of the Realm Of Death shook, its 21 Lords of Hell raised their heads as they gazed at the feelings that were filling them, and none of the hesitated as they kneeled to the ground, the ones beside them fainting in shock at their actions.

Far into a different world, monsters that lay asleep woke up, the ones who had no idea felt threatened while the ones who knew trembled in fear, The Heavenly Tree that stood at the base shook, its inner spirit opening up, screaming for an answer, the Heavens, the child of The Heavenly Tree, arrogantly tried to find the cause, only to kneel, its mind shaking.

A single thunder strike was heard across all the realms, be it the weakest or the strongest, every living being heard the scream of the heavens, its anger boiling but this time it was suppressed to the limit.

True laws, the behemoths that hid under that shadows of light woke up, a fate that was covering the whole of the cosmos shook, souls of the dead cried out for their ruler,

"Death is taking action?"

The sheer shock could be felt from the words of the true hidden lords of the Cosmos, all of them dreading what was to come, for a moment the entirety of the cosmos was disrupted for Death itself was making its move.

The few that could fight its power made a stand, bringing peace back, the thunder, shake and the feeling of death only lasted a moment, a second, yet it had made everything lost.

The system prompt filled Xiao's vision before which he lost his consciousness, Reaper snorted as it looked at the beings that wished to seek its attention, with a wave of its hand Xiao disappeared, returning back to where he belonged.

The act of Xiao meeting Death should have never taken place, it was an action bordering on the impossible, yet it had taken place, everything that was planned and created had broken, the consequences yet to be seen.
