Contrary to what Alvine believed, he had not left. He looked at Alvine with his blood-red eyes that had resumed their previous glow as his body became darker and darker to the point of no longer differentiating him from the dark environment with a diabolical smile that was on these lips. "As sooner or later, you will accept me when you find yourself in front of enemies whose powers far exceed your Punishers and insignificant Leaders. For now, I would just look at you in the shadows as I had always done. Kuku, it's rather a good start, unlike the time you locked me deep in your soul." He said, continuing to look at him to find out what he intended to do with the sphere.

"Kuku, this part of me is really entertaining, ...in his own way. First, you reject me, then you covet me. Sigh, if only your existence weren't the black scale, I wouldn't be as sweet with you, Tenebris." He continued while shaking his head with boredom. Then he disappeared for good when he saw Alvine turn her back on the dark sphere and continue her way to Sylvia who was also wandering aimlessly after the monarch give her the slip.

Unlike before, she was like a being of light who did not have an ounce of darkness in her. Her angelic appearance made Alvine doubtful about her true identity. Just as his fragment had told him, he felt both uncomfortable and relieved to see her alive as he approached her.

What will happen if she confused me with her enemies and attacked me? Could he survive in the face of a single attack on her part? Will she be the same person after seeing this endless darkness in him? Loneliness was the thing Alvine, despite all his qualities, that he feared the most. He himself began to wonder if it was the best solution to stay with them knowing full well that he could be the scourge that will lead them to certain extermination. But despite everything, he preferred anything but to separate from the only family he has ever known in this world.

"S-Sylvia...

While keeping a safe distance between her and him, he cautiously called her by name.

'No matter what churns of this thing that thinks it is a fragment of my soul, I have nothing in common with it. And even if everything he had said was the truth, nothing forces me to follow the same path as him. He is not the only one who knows my past. Randolph is trying to use me in the shadows, there is also this succubus girl. Maybe it's a blow from my enemies trying to confuse me with their plans.' He concludes after organizing his thoughts. Unlike before, he was not naive to persist in his decision. After weighing the pros and cons, he came to a single conclusion.

"It Is again you?" Sylvia replied with a hateful look.

'If this dark being were part of me, then it is so. But nothing forces me to follow the same path as it and destroy all existence. It may be naive on my part, but this is the path that I will decide to follow to the end. So if to become stronger, I have to turn to these powers and lose everything I currently have, I would find another way. Even if for this I have to deny the path that is all traced and take another one, after all, I don't care about destiny or the laws of the universe.' He said, walking slowly towards Sylvia who looked at her with a doubtful look. Obviously, in this dimension, she could not differentiate between her master and the other evil entity that lived in him.

She had trusted her eyes before but she found no clue that could help her differentiate the soul from her master and the soul from this entity. She had even come to believe for a short moment that it was Alvine who was playing with them all this time and happened to be a defenseless weak man but her instinct told her that she was wrong. And it was this same instinct that said the same thing at the moment. Saying that she confused her master with this mysterious entity that had no light in itself even if Alvine's soul was similar, in reality. Dark without the slightest light, absolute darkness.

"Stop there, otherwise I'll kill you if you take one step further." She says with an inexpressive expression.

Making a deaf ear, he continued his steps towards her. 'And if ever it turns out that it is the work of a Leader, hehe. I would become the reaper they want me to be and I will only sharpen my scythe with their blood and pulpits!'

"I swear to you that if you take one step further, I would kill you, no matter what means I would use to achieve it!" She thundered in a soft but threatening voice while her primordial spear began to shine with a blinding light. Just seeing what she was preparing, Alvine knew that he would have no chance of surviving if he takes this attack head-on.

"Hm? Killing me? Sigh, it seems that for lives like me, death was only one way among many." These were the words he had spoken to respond to Sylvia's threats. Then he continued: "I know it because I was already dead before meeting you. And according to this bastard, it was not a first for me. Should I believe it? Should I become what he asks me to be by agreeing to make one with him? Should I give up everything I have? Abandon everyone and embrace my <nature> by becoming the shadow that will exist in the universe and destroying all lives and the planets?" He asked Sylvia who his antipode was. He asked her these questions because she seemed to be the most suitable person to answer his questions.

But unfortunately and contrary to his expectations, Sylvia shook her head by showing him that she did not have answers to his questions. "Unfortunately, I can't make these choices for you." She said briefly while her white pupils waved with bitterness.

Hearing her answer, he sat on the black floor and murmured for himself: "Even she who the child of this flower cannot give me answers. Sigh, if only I could meet Reha once again who said he was my opposite. If only I had known what she was talking about when I met her in the mysterious palace. In the end, the nature of the universe itself is based on endless war. Humans were fighting each other to be at the top of the hierarchy on earth. Of the different mortal races that fight to be the dominant race, the deities strive among themselves to acquire more powers. The Punishers against the Leaders, and now even darkness and light are fierce between them? It's too ridiculous. The most ridiculous thing is that I find myself involved in all this from the beginning without being able to withdraw. Is this the last stage of this war? Who knows, maybe the being who created light and darkness is also fighting against someone else. Tsk, it is indeed too ridiculous." He murmured this word to himself with a dull and tiring expression. But, even if his voice was low, Sylvia could clearly hear him say these words. And in Alvine's words, she had learned things and had been able to make connections.

Alvine was definitely not an ally for them. Not only that, but it seems that he had something to do with the sudden disappearance of their creative mother who seemed to be fighting a battle against his master. On which side should she be placed? However, it was obvious to her more than anyone else. Darkness and light can never coexist! It is a choice that was imposed by the absolute creator. She found things more ridiculous than Alvine. She, who constantly boasted of being a transcendent being. She, who boasted of being invincible if she had her powers. But now she had regained the powers that she had coveted so much for several centuries; so why did she feel sad and ridiculously small? Reflecting on it, she was not really different from her master who stubbornly sought to acquire the [concept of death] when in reality...

"Sigh, but I think the most important thing is the choice we decide to make." Finally, she pronounced the only words that constantly came back from her subconscious.

Hearing her words, Alvine raised his head and looked her in her eyes. "What do you mean by that? You can't be more naive to the point of becoming an idiot, right?"

"What do I care about becoming an idiot at this end? I know more than anyone what will happen if we ever decide to deny who we are. But does it really matter?? I know how hard it is to stay here, I have the impression that my soul will collapse from one second to the next because of darkness. Unlike darkness which can last without light, light can't last without darkness except in nothingness illuminated by light. And even that, it only takes a simple seed for the darkness to show its shadow behind the light. Do you think I'm devoid of darkness? So look right under my feet and you'll see my shadow." She says with a ridiculous smile. Then she continued:

"Apparently, even the creators could not be so perfect. There is definitely an imbalance between these two [concepts]. Finally, if they are really concepts. But despite everything, I believe that it is possible not to worry about futile things and to continue to progress as before by aiming for our goals. If they are reached, well we only have to aim for one higher."

Seeing her obsession and obstinacy, Alvine was like a wise man trying to advise a madwoman. "Hahaha... At this level, you no longer show naivety, little Sylvie, No, it's more than that." He says in a ridiculous but joyful tone. "But it's not to displease me. Well, I who thought I was the most naive man in the universe by stubbornly denying something yet obvious, must admit that you win the trophy in front of me. Anyway, even if it hurts a little, it's still soothing to look at you like that. I feel like I have my own guardian angel." He says by getting up from the ground while dusting his trouser.

"Hehe~ no, you're wrong. You are more talented in this field than I am. But what is a guardian angel?" She asked after returning Alvine's smile.

"Hm? Ah? Just a fantasy I had in my old life. But it seems that instead of a guardian angel, I rather had a guardian demon; even if I doubt that this term exists." He said, walking in front of Sylvia.

"Hm? We will have to visit the world you were in before meeting us. Who knows, maybe you will learn more about yourself?" She said while instinctively following Alvine who was heading towards the dark sphere.

He had his objectives set. The first is to become strong as he had decided. And if he can't control the darkness, Sylvia will be there like her little guardian angel and will purify her energy to balance the balance.

"It's a good idea, finally, if we know its position."

"Hm? Do you mean that the planet you had lived on for several millennia... you still don't know its location? You really have to be stupid for that, right? By the way, where are we about to go?"

"No, you're wrong. It is a peaceful planet governed only by humans who do not have powers; finally, as far as I knew. As for your last question, it's to find something that will make me stronger."

​ "Tsk, you want to play it mysterious, right? So let's see the surprise you have in store. But I'm still surprised that you can find your way back to such a place. For my part, no matter how much my consciousness ventures, I see nothing different here. Not to mention that getting out of here is as complicated as escaping into one of Nervine's labyrinths." She says while humming behind him. Although both knew that they were probably monitored and that they could suffer attacks from one moment to the next, despite everything, they were indifferent to unknown dangers.

"Who is this Nervine? Is she one of the Punishers or one of the Leaders?" The reason for his curiosity was that Sylvia was only interested in those who had the same status as her.

"Hmm? She died as I speak to you. He was a tough opponent who had the [concept of illusion]. She was able to shape reality into illusion and vice versa. She was comparable to the monarch when it came to summoning endless elite troops. Now that I think about it, why didn't the monarch invoke soldiers during our duel?" She wondered while tapping her cheek with her index finger with a confused look.

"Don't look too much. His goal was not to kill you from the beginning. Sigh, we will think more about it in detail after leaving this sorry place." He said. Then he stopped suddenly.

"What's going on?"

"We are there." He says by standing in front of the dark sphere that was still floating in its original location.

"What? Do you want to use that?!" How could Sylvia not know a power she had housed for several centuries? It was definitely the nightmare that had haunted her.

"Yep, as you already know what's going on, then I wouldn't need to provide you with more explanations. I'll just absorb it and see how much it will have an impact on me." He says nonchalantly. The reason he had not directly absorbed it was that he wanted to have the assurance not to sink into chaos. Now that there was Sylvia with him, then he will have at least a little insurance.

"No, it's a very bad decision! You haven't forgotten what will happen to you if you ever cross the line, haven't you?"

"That's why you're with me. If I ever get lost, you just have to use your concept to help me." He said with a smile of self-confidence and then, before Sylvia continued to convince him, he plunged his hand inside the sphere!
