126 Collision of the soul (2/2)

Eve's body was covered in a golden glow as Ophilia clasped her hands together.

Eve closed her eye's as Ophilia send out the projection.

”Make it in time.” Ophilia said as he had sweat cover her forehead since projections wasn't her strongest area of expertise. Just sending one took way more effort for her compared to other gods.

Back in the douluo dalu world, Rei was struggling in the inner area of the star dou forest as hundreds of years had passed.

He had already lost around 40% of his control as he sat in a lotus position with blood and injuries appearing all over his body.

Currently he was in his mindscape facing off against himself as they fought for control.

Sparks flew everywhere as Rei and his past self exchanged blows.

”Do you know what Eve will think when she know this?! She was there from the beginning when we first reincarnated! She helped us when we were down! She followed us no matter what we did! Yet you betrayed her!” His past self shouted out as ice and fire covered Tengoku and Kyoki.

”So you want me to betray Bai Wu then huh?! You fucking hypocrite!” Rei shouted as he activated his ring of Atlas as a golden energy shield wrapped around him.

”EVE WAS EVERYTHING TO ME!” His past self shouted as he jumped up and traced out Gae Bolg and threw it towards Rei.

”BAI WU IS EVERYTHING TO ME AS WELL!” Rei shouted as he twisted his body as he also threw Gae Bolg.

The two demon spears clashed as it exploded destroying more of Rei's mindscape and soul in the process.

”IF WE CONTINUE THEN WE'LL LET DOWN BOTH WOMEN WE LOVE!” Rei shouted as he could feel the destruction of his soul speed up.

”SO WHAT!! I DON'T DESERVE HER ANYMORE! I'LL USE MY LIFE AS COMPENSATION!” His past self shouted out as more blades appeared behind him shooting towards Rei.

”CRAZY BASTARD!” Rei shouted back as he had his heavenly demonic beast avatar mixed with his other avatars protect him.

”HAHAHA I KNOW I'M CRAZY! WHO DO YOU THINK KEPT ME SANE! NOW I HAVE BETRAYED HER WHAT USE IS IT TO KEEP SANE!!” His past self shouted with tears of blood in his eyes as he sent elemental dragons towards Rei.

”Che, DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD BE PROUD OF THIS!” Rei shouted as he ate the elements and sent it back.

”I DON'T NEED TO KNOW!

I AM THE WRATH OF SIN!” His past self shouted out as crimson energy tattooed his body.

”TWISTED MOTHER FUCKER!” Rei shouted out as he too started to chant.

”I AM THE HOLY IN HEAVENLY DEMON!” Rei shouted out as golden energy tattooed his skin.

”ANGER IS MY BODY AND RAGE IS MY SOUL!”

”HOPE IS MY BODY AND LIFE IS MY SOUL!”

Rei and his past self chanted as they sent waves of attacks to each other.

”I HAVE SLAUGHTERED ALL WHO STAND AGAINST ME!”

”I HAVE AIMED TO SAVE ALL WHO STAND BESIDE ME!”

Gale started to pick up as their energy flared to life.

”UNKNOWN TO FORGIVENESS, NOR KNOWN TO MERCY!”

”UNKNOWN TO CORRUPTION, YET TAINTED IN TIME!”

Rei's mindscape started to twist as it's scenery started to change.

”HAVE DISCARDED MY LIFE TO KILL MY ENEMIES!”

”HAVE WITHSTOOD AGAINST MYSELF TO PROTECT MY LOVE!”

”YET IT SHALL NEVER BE ENOUGH!”

”YET IT SHALL BE ME WHO TAINTS MY SOUL!”

Both Rei and his past self's energy had reached it's peak as the chant was almost finished.

”SO I PRAY! CORRUPTION OF WRATH!”

”SO I PRAY! HEAVENLY DEMON REALM!”

With one more pulse of energy, both reality marbles appeared and clashed with each other.

Rei's reality marble consisted of two sides of heaven and hell with it working in balance and heavenly demons attacking his past self's reality marble. His past self's reality marble consisted of monster's made from hate and regret as each one had red eyes fared with wrath as it too attacked Rei's reality marble.

”HAHAHAHA! FIGHT! FIGHT!!!!! THE MORE WE FIGHT THE FASTER WE DIE! HAHAHAHA!!” His past self laughed in craziness as he watched his mindscape break apart.

'To think it's me to destroys myself...I'm sorry Bai Wu..Seems like I can't keep my promise...' Rei thought as he saw that his past self wasn't going to stop.

”STOP!!!” Eve's projection shouted as she saw what was happening.

”EVE?!!” His past self saw Eve and looked away in shock and shame.

Rei saw Eve as only smiled sadly.

”So you're Eve...” Rei said as he had already resigned himself to death since he couldn't stop himself from destroying his soul.

”Eve why are you here...I don't deserve to see you...” Rei's past self said as tears of blood flowed from his eyes.

”Rei look at me.” Eve said as she walked to Rei's past self.

”LOOK AT ME REI!” Eve shouted as she grabbed Rei's past self so that they were face to face.

”DO I LOOK HAPPY TO YOU! DO YOU THINK I'LL BE HAPPY IF YOU KILLED YOURSELF!” Eve shouted with tears in her eyes.

Rei's past self looked in silence as he saw Eve's fear at what he was going to do.

”But-”

”SHUT UP!” Eve cut him off.

”Are you really going to leave me behind...I waited for you in the higher realms...I trained so that I can follow you...yet you're here trying to kill yourself, WAS I THAT UNIMPORTANT THAT YOU CAN JUST GO KILL YOURSELF WITHOUT WORRY!?!?” Eve cried out as she looked at Rei's past self.

His expression faltered as he saw how Eve felt about all of this.

”But I betrayed you...How can I forgive myself for this...” He said as he looked away from Eve.

”I know...It hurts when I see you with other woman...but it hurts even more when I see you try to kill yourself. I fine if you take Bai Wu, or anyone else, just...just don't leave me behind please...” Eve cried as Rei's past self felt guilt like never before.

”Oi me. Did you get that.” He said as he gave Rei a glance.

”Yeah I did.” Rei said as he nodded his head.

”Well I'll give you a second chance. Don't you dare let either of them down by taking another woman. If you do, I'll be back even if I have to kill god.” His past self said as he patted Eve's back.

”I don't plan to. In our life, the only woman we love are Bai Wu and Eve. No one else can be like them.” Rei said as he shook his head.

”I'll take your, no. I'll take my word for it then.” His past self smiled as he faded along with his reality marble.

Rei also retracted his as all of his memory flooded his mind. How he met Eve, the time they spend, their fights side by side and how the system god erased his memory.

”So that's the whole story huh.” Rei said as he cluched his head from the influx of memories.

”Hais...I'm sorry Eve.” Rei said as he gave Eve an apologetic smile.

”Un, just make sure you get to the higher realms soon ok? I'm waiting.” Eve said as she wiped away her tears and smiled back.

Rei went forward as he felt and urge well up inside him.

Since this was inside his mindscape, Eve's projection had a physical body he could touch so Rei kissed Eve on the lips shocking her.

”This time I'll defiantly keep my promise.” He said as she started to faded away.

”Un...” Eve nodded as Rei saw her disappear.

Looking around, Rei could see his soul heal itself as he wasn't trying to kill himself anymore.

”It has been a few years outside...I wonder if Bai Wu is ok...” Rei muttered as his returned his conscious to his real body.

Opening his eyes, Rei saw his body covered with blood as a result of his soul fighting itself.

Rei shook his head as he waved his hand and cleaned himself up with some water.

”Wait did I just use mana...” Rei muttered.

”So I can use this both mana and qi now...” Rei said looking up as he started to frown.

”People have broken my barrier...SHIT BAI WU!!” Rei widened his eyes as wings appeared on his back. Rei took off as he created a shockwave below him.
