The object kept flowing around in the great viscous liquid, its body completely black, with no fixed form as the abomination move around freely.
'The Devourer of Realm, ranked 17th in the catastrophe ranking'
Azrail thought as he looked at the calmly moving thing in front of him, this was the thing that made the future Nayan a terrible enemy, one that swallowed up several realms, taking their form, power, and abilities. The peak of artificial creation.
Azrail demanded and Nayan complied, his eyes shining with a feverous desire as he looked at the large container, starting to speak.
"I call it the Devourer, I created it from the greatest anger I carry in my heart, a being capable of taking other beings' power, lineage, strength, everything....."
"You based it on the past history myths of humans stripping away talents from their great rulers?"
Azrail said and Nayan nodded his head.
"Indeed, the reason behind me saying here was to focus on the humans and that lead me to this creation"
Nayan's tone was derailed as he spoke of the creation in front of him.
"Among all the species to be born, humans were the ones that weren't given any fixed powers, they took from others and made them theirs, earning their rise to power and after countless research and planning I based this creation on it, my perfect creation"
Saying till here Nayan placed his hand on the container, the revenge in his eyes burning deep, all those seven eyes narrowing about.
"I reached the end hence I came to this lower world, where my creation received its last touches, I took the human's power and improved on it, creating this piece that will swallow any and take their power for itself"
Nayan tapped on the glass causing the moving thing in the container to tremble, as it started moving around frantically.
"My ideal goal was for it to take the forms and powers of those bastards that took everything from me, their powers would be the reason for their downfall"
Reaching till here he closed all his eyes and took a moment to recollect himself, after which he turned toward Azrail, Nayan awaiting any command.
"You haven't fed it, right?"
"Of course, master, you must know why"
To this I nodded my head, Nayan placed a simple limitation on this to control, it being that the first being the Devourer eats won't die, instead, it will be used as the base for the creature, being the Devourer main 'species', also the first one 'eaten' won't be truly eaten, instead the Devourer will feel a great connection to the first being, taking it as a 'parent', the very first one.
And just as you guessed, the first thing used as the base was Nayan itself in the past, hence the Devourer took all his attributes. What was meant as the base was that everything from the first will be copied, the physique, the belief, the intellect, the connection, and of course the revenge.
Having taken everything from Nayan, the devourer became one of the 21 catastrophes, causing carnage and death due to the heavy feelings of revenge it inherited from Nayan, though in Azrail's case, he has different plan in mind.
Nayan replied, seeing so a smile came to Azrail's face.
"All those rare species collected, you planned to feed it after the first feasting?"
Azrail asked, knowing the answer.
Nayan replied, back in the past that would have been Azrail's plight if he didn't escape, the Devourer would have swallowed him, taking his entire being and his skill, just imagining the damage it could cause if it caught his skill was more than enough to bring fear.
Azrail's eyes looked at the monitor, seeing through the health notification on the screen, marking the current state of the being.
'Everything looks stable'
"When can the procedure being?"
"We can start anytime you want, master"
"What's the procedure?"
"There is nothing complex, the base just as to enter inside, everything else is already set"
Nayan said, hearing so Azrail tried to look at Raven, she didn't need any more words as she nodded her head and walked towards the class container, waiting with cold eyes. A few seconds later the liquid inside the container dried out, leaving the slime trembling around, lost and in need of a base to be born, hence Nayan spoke.
Hearing so Raven moved forward easily passing through the glass tube entering inside and just as she did the black moving slime jumped upon her, consuming her entire being in its slime, standing outside Azrail could feel all of the emotions in Raven, while she felt a bit disgusted and weirded out she still stood tall, not wanting to disappoint him.
The slime started to 'eat' Raven, taking everything from her, her unique powers, her form, right down to her very cells. Seconds started to tick by as the devourer kept making its base.
Nayan suddenly asked, to which Azrail just nodded his head. shutting him up, and once the one-minute mark hit a smile split Azrail's face feeling the second connection within him, one similar to Raven yet different.
This was his other objective for coming to this place, he didn't come for just a shadow, no he came for his shadows, something unprecedented in the cosmos, for no single being can have two shadows, its impossible but Azrail circumvented around the law and made a middle finger to the balance of the cosmos.
By his side Nayan had taken up a book from who knows where and was already writing on it, recording the once-in-a-lifetime event that might never happen again. Soon 5 minutes passed and once it did the slime had left Raven's body, slipping away as it moved away from Raven, just as it happened she walked out of the container and appeared beside Azrail, standing behind him as if nothing had happened.
But he could feel the intense jealousy and conflicting emotions passing through Raven, something which he plans to placate later.
Under the trio's eyes, the black slime started to shimmer and twist, seemingly going through several different changes.
Azrail commanded, Nayan did as he was told, closing all his eyes, though he became disgruntled at missing the scene.
The slimy thing started to twist around as a form started to be created, the cracking filling everywhere until the figure was formed, an exact replica of Raven was now in the glass, the difference being that her black air was mixed with the color white so was her eyes, there is also the fact that unlike Raven's the Devourer's eyes were blank, seemingly seeing everything as nothing in front of her.
Those eyes were deep, dark, and blank but the moment they landed on Azrail they changed completely, those eyes gained life and meaning seemingly only living for him.
'Looks like Raven's trait along with its innate trait combined into something new'
He stopped his thoughts as he felt the desire in those eyes.
"Your name shall be Ravenna"
He said and that name itched deep into Ravenna's soul, marking their contract between the two, the body around Ravenna wriggled as a black dress graced her body, the design being similar to Raven's except for the fact that the black dress had white lines all around.
The figure disappeared from the tube as she appeared behind Azrail, Ravenna's eyes only focused on him, to her the rest were food or nothing.
'Looks like objective 2 is achieved'
