Chapter 63 A Mighty Being
Chapter 63 A Mighty Being
?What could only be the underworld was illuminated by a red sun that shined bright, with the sun staying high in a still black sky, he could see green meteor showers continuously shooting past in the sky, well that was if they had meteor showers down here, and when he looked around him, all he could see was a red colored world, with a yellow ground, which sometimes looked like it had water moving just below it, like a moving spring.
Seth found himself in a line so long he couldn't even see its beginning, ahead of him were white silhouettes of people just like him and behind him, other silhouettes also began appearing.
Seth had tried to move out of the line or do anything with his lower body, but it didn't obey his commands, it just kept on moving forward, one step at a time and when he looked at the others in front of him or the new ones behind, he realized that they just kept on marching forward like him.
"Any idea where we're going Seth tried to ask the soul ahead of him, but then he realized that he had no mouth to speak, that was right, what was present right now was just his black and white soul, he had no body so he couldn't do what he usually did,
"But why then can I think, I don't have a brain," Seth thought again and began trying to move his hand over his body, but his hand went right through him like he was a hologram.
Just before Seth could continue his antics, he heard laughter ring in his head, he looked around but saw no one, and other than the file of silhouettes marching forward like drones, he saw no one whom he could place the voice In his head to.
"To your left" he heard the voice say, and this time turning his head to the left he saw a Bullman, well that was the name that he could best describe what was in front of him.
What could only be a person with the body of a man but the head of a bull with long red horns, wearing red samurai armor on his body but having a giant sickle on his back.
"You dummy, your brain is what enables your soul to communicate with your body and the physical world, so, of course, you can still think without your brain, and here in the underworld you communicate with your thoughts" the bullman replied.
"Oh thanks, I guess, but who and what are you," Seth asked as he looked the armored man up and down with genuine curiosity.
"Ahh, from your reaction it's probably your first time seeing a highly evolved beast like me, well you can think of me as one of the guards of this underworld," the bullman answered and then began looking Seth up and down and said, " souls that come here are those from low level worlds, and they usually get their memories and consciousness wiped out immediately they arrive here, but from your previous behavior and thoughts that probably didn't happen to you, and your soul is also ridiculously strong for someone from a lower world".
"Well I was going to be the strongest on earth, so it's only natural my soul is awesome" Seth boasted.
"oh you're the arrogant type" the man chuckled but showed no disdain for Seth, he had been working here as a guard for thousands of years, so seeing the likes of Seth was nothing new, he had just been bored and decided to check out the latest once greatest genius that had fallen.
"So were you a good guy or a bad guy," the man asked giving Seth a grin".
"Well, I wouldn't say a bad guy, more like a free man," Seth told him with a smile.
Hearing his answer the guard just shook his head with a rueful smile, "seems you won't be drinking madam Meng's soup then".
"Huh who's madam Meng," Seth asked,
The guard placed his hand on his chin wondering if he should spend any more time with this guy, then shrugging his shoulder he decided to entertain him some more.
"This line takes you to the temple of the God Anubis where you would be judged on whether you were good or evil, if you are judged as good, then you would be sent to madam Meng, who would offer you a soup that would cleanse your soul, permanently wipe out all your memories and connections you had with your previous life, and then after you will be sent into the cycle of reincarnation where depending on your karma, you will be sent to another world and reborn.
And as for being judged as evil, well you instantly regain your memories and are sent to hell, hell is lord Yama's jurisdiction, and trust me you don't want to go there.
Well, there is always the option of becoming a soldier for the underworld". the bullman said.
"Oh thanks, but what parameters are being used to judge ….." Seth was about to ask for more information, when all of a sudden both the ground and sky began trembling, he then saw himself lit up in white light, and shocked by what was happening he turned to the also currently shocked guard,
"Ehhh, what is happening to me" Seth hurriedly asked,
"yo.. o.. you.. impossible, a mighty is exchanging their soul for yours" the guard stuttered, excitement and fear in his tone.
Before Seth knew it, he found himself slowly floating up, but as he moved a black light began filling up the previous location of his soul, and just as he completely moved away from his location, the black light condensed and the image of a woman appeared, a woman so beautiful that even Rose's hidden form was pure filth before it, but nothing of that sort was being registered in Seth's mind at the moment, the only thing in his sight were her eyes, and though everything else looked almost unfamiliar, Seth couldn't mistaken the needy, submissive and love filled pair of eyes that looked up at him,
"Alexia", the name went through Seth's mind, and then everything went black.
