Ka'al stood alone atop the ancient volcano — a place where primordial forces were once born. Flames roared from the crater, and the air trembled with heat and pressure. Within the fire, he found it. Not just any flame, but a ruthless, pure blaze that existed before time itself.
He bent down, touched it, and visions flooded his mind — wars, creation, destruction, gods screaming in terror.
"If I am to create a universe of my own," he whispered, "I will need more than just flame. I must break free from human chains — including my father."
The Death of Varek
Varek — Liron's closest friend, brother-in-arms, and Ka'al's mentor in the ways of honorable combat — stood before him in the Bloodwood forest.
"Ka'al, stop. This path leads only to ruin. You were meant to protect the light."
Ka'al smiled sadly. "You don't understand. To create true light, there must be absolute darkness. And I will be the one to rebuild it."
Purple-black flames erupted from his hands — the "Flame of the Universe," his new power — and hurled toward Varek.
Varek tried to shield himself, but his body burned from within — no external marks, only pain and disappointment in his eyes before collapsing to the ground.
The Ascent to Divinity
Ka'al stood over Varek's grave, tracing a circle in the air. A portal between worlds opened — an empty, dark universe of pure potential.
There, he began to create — mountains, seas, creatures born from his imagination.
He became the god of his world.
But to stabilize this universe, he must destroy those who hold eternal chaos:
• The Leviathan — a mythical being from Jewish lore representing the primordial depths, the creation before creation.
• The Old Devil — a being who ruled chaos, banished millions of years ago, yet still alive at the edge of reality.
⸻
The Declaration of Rebellion
Liron heard of Varek's death. He knelt silently before a campfire.
The flames screamed to him — "He has learned the forbidden power, burning not just worlds — but bonds."
Liron stood. "Ka'al... my son... I will not let you fall into this darkness alone. Even if I must stop you."
In the distance, at the edge of the universe, Ka'al opened the gates of war against the Old Devil, eyes blazing without remorse.
Chapter 2 – The Maw of the Abyss
Inside the shadow universe Ka'al built, everything was under his control — air, time, even the laws of physics.
Yet something was unstable.
The core of the universe trembled — an unfillable void. Then he understood — the Leviathan still lived. It dwelled in the depths of creation and opposed the birth of a new universe.
Ka'al stood on the shore of the eternal ocean. Black waters, a sky stained red, lightning striking upwards.
He extended his hands, opened the seal of flame he had learned on the volcano, and whispered:
"I summon you — Leviathan, master of the abyssal waters. Face the Flame of the Universe."
The waters trembled. Earthquakes shattered the land. Eyes closed beneath the waves opened — enormous, wise, ancient.
And it rose.
⸻
The Leviathan
It was no fish. It was no beast.
It was an idea — a colossal body crossing worlds, made of living oceans, ribs of stars, and dark-blue blood containing the memories of creation.
"Ka'al... you chose the blaze. But remember — before the light, there was only water."
Ka'al did not answer. His eyes glowed. The ancient flame burned around him, forming a ring of shadow-fire.
"I have not forgotten. I am here to claim my place."
⸻
The Battle
• Phase One: The Leviathan opened its maw. Tsunami waves taller than mountains crashed toward Ka'al.
Ka'al absorbed the blows — his body fractured and reassembled, flames consuming the water but dimming slightly.
• Phase Two: Ka'al summoned the Six Black Blades — swords of pure flame orbiting him like satellites.
He leapt forward, slashing the Leviathan's eye but leaving only a scratch.
• Phase Three: The Leviathan released the "Song of the Waters" — a deep resonance that made the entire universe tremble.
Ka'al nearly fell, his vision dimming — then he remembered Varek's death, a pain that ignited his fury and revived him.
• Final Move: Ka'al soared skyward, conjuring an eye of flame storm around him, burying the Leviathan in the "End of Creation" blaze — a power that incinerated water and time alike.
The Leviathan roared, its body shrank, then exploded into a thousand droplets scattering shards of forgotten memories.
After the Battle
Ka'al stood silently on the water's surface.
The waves were still.
Even the wind ceased.
In his hand, a small core — the Leviathan's soul remnant.
"Only one enemy remains — the Old Devil."
He took a deep breath.
The new world was ready — but to stabilize it, he had to kill him.
Chapter 3 – Flame's Dominion Over the Abyss
Ka'al stared at the Leviathan's soul core in his palm, flames dancing around it like a flock of fiery eagles.
His voice was calm, full of authority and the coldness of a dark king:
"My flame, burning and purifying — go, Leviathan, ancient creature, become sword, not strife. I change your fate. You are no longer an enemy — you are my weapon."
The flames grew, flying and wrapping the core in blazing light.
The thick waters around the Leviathan began to hum, responding to the fire's command.
The shadowy flame washed over the water being — not corrosion but a miraculous fusion of fire and water, a new synthesis of powers that birthed a new creation — a loyal soldier, neither asleep nor alive, but a living weapon, shaped by both worlds.
The New Leviathan
The creature leapt from the depths like a burning shadow. Its form grew and grew — now twice as powerful, but no longer free.
It winked at Ka'al, its voice changing tone: "I swear to serve you, my lord."
Ka'al smiled, raising his hand high: "Then go, prepare the stage for the birth of the new universe. Everything I pass through will be under my control."
The Implication
In the newborn universe, the rustling of water mingled with the crackle of flame.
Ka'al knew — now that his Leviathan, a living weapon alongside the flame he commanded, no one could stop him.
The next stage: the Old Devil.
Chapter 4 – Battle Against the Old Devil
The universe trembled.
A storm at the edge of time and silence, where the Old Devil resided — a primordial force, an entity of chaos and dominion, ruling creation before fire and water ever met.
Ka'al stood atop the fiery mountain peak, the new Leviathan behind him, its body forged of fire and water — an eternal guardian.
Flames around him traced dark sacred symbols.
Ka'al, in a cold and commanding voice:
"Old Devil. It's time you learned — I am no longer the boy you scorned. I am the creator and destroyer. My new universe will rise only when you fall."
The Devil's reflection appeared in the flames — a massive twisted figure, black eyes holding millennia of hatred.
His voice was like the whisper of dying:
Devil:
"Destruction? You will build?
I was born when you were but a spark. Do you truly believe you can destroy me?"
The Battle Begins
• The Devil unleashed volleys of dark energy, shattering the ground and threatening to break the laws of reality.
• Ka'al reacted instantly, drawing upon his ancient flames, burning and purifying the attacks, drawing strength from his inner pain — the death of Varek.
• The Leviathan joined the fight, summoning water to disrupt the Devil's powers.
Special Move: The Flame of Light and Darkness
Ka'al combined his two flames — the light he possessed and the dark flame, creating a dual blaze that both illuminated and screamed with pain.
Ka'al:
"This is the broken blade I carry! Today, you die — not just for me, but for all I love!"
The Devil's Counterattack
He twisted the space around them into a maze of nightmares, using their painful memories to weaken Ka'al.
Ka'al felt his heart tear, but he did not fall.
Final Move
Ka'al gathered all his power, creating a massive wall of flame and bursting through it like a tornado of fire and water.
The flames consumed the Devil, slowly covering him in light and darkness, until he vanished into deep shadows, leaving behind a faint, final whisper:
"This is not the end..."
