Did you actually feel that? Did it actually hurt??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. And no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How interesting… but can you get back underneath me so that I can atleast not get nauseous when I look down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Technically I am under you.\" He chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Don't be a smartass and just help me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon was trying to show just how much fun he was really having.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of nowhere, he materialized a wooden floor for Sif to stand on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a second later, there was also a leather sofa, a fireplace, and a nightstand with a lamp on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For finishing touches, there was a photo of their entire family together on the mantle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better?\" Even though Sif couldn't see Abaddon's face, she knew he was beaming with smug satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sif tried to prevent her jaw from falling open as she walked over to the couch and laid down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since when did you get so good at creation…? Val's gonna be jealous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truth be told, I'm still learning. But it all comes a bit easier to me here because I've made this place my fulcrum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sif raised a brow. \"Your place of power? Like the Creator?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost, but not quite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon's consciousness is usually only active in the physical body he is using at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon shedding his physical shell, the part of his consciousness that is the most 'active' is in this region of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the entire cosmos were to be equated to Abaddon's physical body, the Omega Nebula is like his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the reason why… he just picked this place because he found it the nicest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a bit like ruling over Tehom; only as space the amount of effort Abaddon needs to do something isn't just minute, it's nonexistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like wiggling a toe or pinky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon knew that he was powerful already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Gabbrielle's tutelage and his own independent study, he could destroy entire solar systems sixty different ways in sixty minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today… the totality of what he was finally seemed to settle into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was perhaps the first time that Abaddon ever seriously felt like a primordial god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense all of his latent potential just on the tip of his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… How do you feel, hon?\" Sif finally asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Powerful… and old.\" He admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sif snickered as she sat up. \"Well, neither of those things are new, so I don't really see why we had to come all the way out here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apparently my place of power will be the only place I will be fully in tune with my being… and where I can deepen my understanding of my powers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't feel limited because of the seals or anything like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… No actually.\" He realized. \"How odd…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sif reached out and gave Abaddon a reassuring pat. \"Well just do whatever you need to do. I'm here for when you need me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\" I appreciate this. I might be silent for a while, so you are free to nap if you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got it. Happy meditating.\" She waived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Sif laid back down, Abaddon threw himself into the deep recesses of his own mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking back control of his responsibilities was an odd sensation- indescribable to the mortal mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the closest possible explanation, it was like suddenly swapping your self driving car out of autopilot in the middle of the highway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Abaddon did not seamlessly slip back into his responsibilities because he submerged his consciousness too quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, certain… incidents occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rotation of exactly 300 planets stopped on a dime for a fraction of a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly small event caused everything on the surface of the planets to be flung at speeds no less than 800 miles an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over half of the planets had sentient life and thriving civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all destroyed almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon's heart clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were innocent beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew not their names or appearances, but the sudden freeing of souls was all too telling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His guilt wouldn't let him allow billions to die for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could fix this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant he formulated a plan to infuse Nether into the worlds he accidentally destroyed, giving them life after death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their civilizations would become ones comprised only of ghost, spirits, and oni, but it was better than premature death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Do not do that.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Nyx?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon heard a sudden voice play so close to him that it was like she was speaking directly into his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Does it surprise you how close we are, my friend? There are some cultures who consider us indistinguishable from one another, you know?' She laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So then you can also..?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No, or at least nothing on this scale. I can hardly even see 5% of what you are doing right now.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Abaddon, Nyx's cosmic awareness is not total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has a radius around the same size as that of earth's solar system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she, just like roughly every other primordial god, knew that Abaddon had just seized control of everything in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun and moon gods were absolutely shitting themselves right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said, Nyx was quite close to Abaddon in some cultures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she was one of the only ones who could slip into his mind when he wasn't on his guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because he didn't know such a thing was possible, she practically walked right in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good thing too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I need you to stop for a moment and calm yourself, my dear dragon. Pay attention to the worlds you are so focused on.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What..?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In your haste to fix what you broke, you almost broke it all over again. Nether is a very dense magical energy with certain stringent requirements. Not every world can handle it, but you know that already, don't you..?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Abaddon was looking carefully, he could see what Nyx was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not every world was comprised of the same exact list of ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They're like toilet paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some are built durable enough to withstand certain kinds of 'excess'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others tear easily and cause you to put a finger in your own ass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terminology may be a bit open for debate, but I digress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the worlds Abaddon destroyed, 80% could not hold such a complex energy as Nether without the entire planet dissolving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining 20% could handle it, but he would have to introduce it into the atmosphere very, very slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As in, over the course of approximately 3,000 years slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that time, the dead would have already dissipated and become true nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if Abaddon were to bring them back from oblivion, their sanity would not be fully intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stuck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I… I…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nyx 'hugged' Abaddon warmly in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I know you didn't mean it, Abaddon. But this is what it means to have our power. Our responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the harm that I wished to spare you from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mistakes we make have consequences that we cannot undo.
