Some time ago, Aura had been startled as he received a message from Kireina. The only woman who had captivated his cold heart for a long time had sent him a message, it seemed that she was ready to depart, and she was going to spend a bit of time preparing before going in.
This meant that of course, he was invited to help her, and he was gladly going to join. As the Supreme God of the Star Ocean, he possessed great power, he had the ability to manipulate space to an extent and also light, his greatest element.
Although it could be said he was more of a mixed bag, the majority of his power was fixated into controlling light, to the point his own light had already evolved into something else, something greater, in fact, the stars themselves were now his light.
Aura was a man that went through a long journey to reach the power he had acquired, his life was filled with suffering, with many tragedies, his path was shrouded in the blood of many of those he loved… life seemed to always hate him since the moment he was born in the world of Genesis.
However, despite always being a bottom feeder, despite always struggling, and despite how much he cried and bleed, at the end, he was the chosen one that became a Supreme God… but at what cost did he achieve such things? It was something he always thought deeply, it was something he began to consider through his long life.
He had become the stars themselves, and using his wondrous powers, he created the Astral Road to maintain the empty void of this self-contained bubble filled with brightness so the realms would be illuminated with his stars.
The Astral Road was an extension of his own body and his own Divine Domain, it was an enormous place that extended all around the world of Genesis, it was the background itself that every person saw in the skies… to think that he would one day become the skies.
”Perhaps that was one of the things she would had liked to see…” he once thought.
Unlike Flora, Aura was never a fully righteous Supreme God, and he was always quite selfish and uninterested in everything, he often thought of other’s problems as… well, other’s problems.
He often didn’t cared about the world either, his goal since the beginning was to explore the outside world, and he would gladly see the world be destroyed so he could escape… Unlike Flora, he didn’t exactly loved the world, he probably hated it deep down, as it was the place that brought him so much suffering through his life, it was an accursed world of endless pain and suffering, and he would gladly see its end.
This is why he saw an opportunity through Kireina, a being of incredible origins, the daughter of Chaos herself, the Primordial Deity of Chaos, with her and her incredible chaotic powers, it might be possible for them to be capable of destroying the world’s order, its pillars laws, and break through the last barriers that stopped them from moving out into the vast outer universe.
She was the key. And he had to help that key as well, although the System master also had that intention, he saw that hew as quite malicious, more than him, and stopped his various attempts, ultimately forming a special hero for her to defeat that would allow her to grow stronger, all while revealing himself to her afterwards and asking to become her ally.
However, as he watched at Kireina growing stronger and stronger, he realized that there was something else within her, something that made her incredibly special by herself, her will to live, her wickedness, and perhaps the malice within her, all merged with the undying will to protect what she loved, and her amazing ways of coming out with completely insane ways to defeat her enemies and move forward had completely captivated him, and he eventually ended feeling something for her.
He had grown a devotion, perhaps… And he wanted to devote himself to Kireina, and to see her reach the top, to help her reach the top too… and well, if that involved having to ally Flora, and also go against the invaders, then he was willing to do that as well.
It was no longer just his desire to escape the world, but he had the new desire to do it at her side, and to explore the vast Universe at her side…
And now that she told him to prepare, he quickly began to prepare right away! He began to do many things around his divine realm, and helped all his subordinates to grow stronger too, so they would be able to fight against the threat that they would have to go against when they reached the enormous Realm of Death, Helheim.
Using the amazing powers that Kireina had such as her Realm Core and the abilities it could share, she helped Aura and Flora’s retainers to acquire Pseudo Supreme Divinities and grow even stronger, and more…
And through the time he spent strengthening himself by refining the cosmic energies that flowed across his divine realm, Aura couldn’t help but think more about seeing Kireina once more triumphing and trampling over her enemies, it was something that he always looked forward to…
Hel… he didn’t really had any grudges against her, but he knew what she had done, and that she very much deserved to get what she was about to get, so there was no other way around it, especially because he particularly detested these invaders from the other planes that came to this world thinking this world was any better than their own, it felt almost insulting to him.
So he wanted to kill them all and close the gates where these invaders were breaking in, so they wouldn’t come knocking on his door anymore…
Now that the time has passed for preparations, his enormous divine domain moved across the space, as his divine realm quickly flew across the spatial layers with the goal of reaching the Realm of Death, Helheim…
”Kireina, I can’t wait to see you gloriously destroy your enemies once more…”
