Abyss God Tales

Power

In the dream.

Neet was looking around in his usual dream, a vast empty world all white. The only thing in this world was the picture of his mom stick in a big white wall.

"Strange... I should have died by now, right? Why am I in my dream? Maybe I am sleeping a little before dying? Fine, I guess."

His dreams were always like this, in the enormous white world. But the strange thing about his dreams is that he would always be conscious during them. He could choose if he would wake up or not, and he would never forget what happened, which wasn't much apart from watching his mother's picture alone until he woke up. It sounded creepy, but there really wasn't anything else to do in the huge empty world apart from this.

Neet sat on the ground and stared at the picture.

"What should I do? What can I do? I am probably dying..."

Then a little far from his place, he could see a huge black smoke appearing from who knows where.

"That is new."

Neet got up and approached the black smoke. It was an exciting phenomenon. For a white world, of course.

The smoke got thicker and denser as time passed, forming a form similar to the monster that apparently killed him but thinner and smaller. Looking a lot more human-like.

I stayed there, interested as to what would happen.

"Am I having a nightmare, like those dreams of reliving a trauma?"

'I just read about them, I never had one before, so I can't say.'

After completely forming, the monster opened its eyes and looked straight into my eyes. But he suddenly turned around and started to walk away, looking in all directions.

"Hey! You can't just walk like that!"

"Huh!?" The monster opened its mouth. "You can speak?" it said with a shocked face.

"Shouldn't I be the one questioning that, but yea, I guess I can? Just like all people in the world?"

"How? We are inside your subconscious, and even though some people enter it, they normally wouldn't be able to lift a finger, much less talk."

"Can you cut the boring talk and just say something interesting. I didn't get interested in something since ages ago, so don't disappoint me."

"You are just a pathetic human, and you are trying to make ME?! A toy for your amusement?"

"Yes, but if you put it like that, it sounds a little bad, so I prefer to call it something lighter, like an explorer who found an interesting animal to study."

"YOU... I am not wasting words with such a weak thing" He waved his hand, and a big ball of black fire flew towards Neet.

Neet couldn't even open his mouth, and he was instantly turned to ashes by the black flames.

"Humph! This human thing he can talk to me like that and stay alive" He said smugly and turned in a different direction. But just when he turned away...

"Hey! That is what I was talking about! How did you do that?"

"You, how are you still alive!?" The monster was shocked at first, but now he was astonished.

"This is my dream, right? Or subconscious like you said, so I'm naturally immortal here, right?"

"Of course not, you dumb mortal! If your consciousness is destroyed here, your body becomes lifeless and dies."

"I think you are the dumb i***t since I am still fine, proving your words are wrong."

"HAAAAH!" The monster had a bust of anger and launched huge flames towards Neet.

Neet would be turned to ashes again, but at that moment, he had an idea. He pointed his arms forward and imagined a thick wall that could block the huge black flames.

*Booom!* The Wall crumbled, but the flames didn't pass through it either.

"It worked! Haha!" Neet had tried many times to create things in his dream,s but he never succeeded. This was the first time, and he was happy about it.

The monster or devil was experiencing many knowledge-breaking experiences one after the other and was bewildered trying to think how they were possible. But after some time, a flash of realization came upon him, and he calmed himself, releasing a vicious smile.

"You seem like a good host. So I will take over your body from now on, feel grateful that an existence such as myself would be willing to take your body.

Neet slightly bent his head sideways, a habit that he did when he didn't like something or was mocking someone.

"So, how are you going to do this? Oh! Gracious being?" Neet said smugly.

"I just need to destroy the whole world inside your consciousness and replace it with mine."

"Heee~, go on then."

The devil gathered dark flames all around his body, then concentrated them in a single spot right above his palm. And with a swift movement of his hands, that concentrated ball of black flames flew to the sky and...

*BOOOOM!!!* The flame exploded, launching flames all over the white world, making it black.

"I want to see you laughing now, ant!"

*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*

"An awe-inspiring show of lights, my mother would love to see it in the new year festival. Do you want to do anything more, or will you just stop here?"

"Shut up!"

The angered devil pointed his hands up and said "Black Hole!"

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

A huge black sphere appeared with a powerful suction force, causing cracks to appear all over the white world.

Neet saw the picture of his mother being dragged towards the hole in the middle of the mess. His playful face faded, and he frowned. Neet disappeared on the spod and appeared beside his mother's picture grabbing it, and safely storing it in his pocket.

"It's lovely and all, but that is it? This is all that you can think to destroy this place?"

"You pathetic human wouldn't be able to recognize my power even if I smashed it right on your face."

*Sigh* "Disappointing, but I kinda liked your visit. It made me able to create things in my dreams so I won't be as bored as before."

"You speak like you are gonna be alive after today."

"You know, my mother likes a lot to watch anime, and I kinda get myself watching too because of that. So~, when you watch anime, your imagination gets a lot better, and you can do things like this!"

Neet waves his hands, and all the oxygen from the world disappeared, making the black flames disappear. Then he pointed at the black hole and created another black hole but bigger, who completely devoured the smaller one. Then he made the black hole disappear and repaired the cracks in the world.

The devil was starting to feel fear. All that this human did went against all logic, the unknown of what this human could do scarred him.

"Tough, I liked your company, I guess it's time for each of us to part ways and follow our lives, so bye-bye" Neet said, waving his hand.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!*

He created a lot of mini suns around the devil and exploded them, causing a ridiculous explosion.

*sigh* "I almost forgot that I am dying. Not that bad of an ending, I guess, but I hope my mother be fine after my death."

Then, the silence came back to the empty white world after Neet sat on the ground and picked his mother's picture while saying.

"Love you mom."

And the dream ended.
