Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality



*Swoosh*

Death's fist ripped through the air and smashed into Silas' chest with so much power that it instantly caved in.

Silas shot back before slamming into one of the trees and puking out a mouthful of blood.

Death appeared right before Silas before wrapping his hand around his fist, slamming him into the ground, and dragging his head for over a hundred meters.

The blood-curdling sound of Silas' bones shattering echoed throughout the forest, but Death wasn't done.

He slowly lifted Silas over his head with both hands before-

*Swoosh*

*Crack*

"AHGHH!" Silas roared out in pain as Death's knee slammed into his back, shattering his spine.

He felt all the air leave his lungs and refuse to enter anymore. 

No matter how much he wanted to breathe, it hurt too much.

He was struggling to breathe.

His thoughts were in disarray.

The pain... Oh, the pain was unlike anything he's ever felt before.

He could barely activate life fusion without roaring out in pain again.

Every movement sent a jolt of excruciating agony through his entire body, but he had to go through this.

It was for his family...

Family? Why would he need to go through so much pain for his family?

'Ah sh*t, I'm becoming delirious.' The rational side of Silas' mind spoke out to him.

'Yeah, well, I do have a point though. Why am I doing this again? It's painful as hell. No man or woman should ever feel the pain I'm going through.' Another side of Silas' mind argued, causing the rest of his mind to nod in understanding.

'Wait, since when do I have so many of me in my mind. Ahh... I must have a concussion.'

'Or you've always been like this.' Another shrugged.

'Nah. If I've always been like this, I would have had one of you stop me from sending out that drug that destroyed Earth.'

'Yeah, but aren't you kind of happy?'

'Happy?'

'Yeah. Sure, you destroyed the lives of over 15 billion individuals, but technically your life is better because of it. You wouldn't have a family if you didn't destroy Earth. Hell, Earth's humans didn't even deserve your genius. They were weak and incapable of understading you.'

'And what makes you think this world understands me?'

'They have magic.'

'...'

'...'

'...'

'Yeah, fair point.'

'Marvelous point young man.'

'Exquisite analysis of your situation.'

'Hmm...' One of the Silas' stood up.

'What is it, Silas #143.'

'If we destroyed humanity and, as a result, got a better life out of it, doesn't that mean we deserve this pain?'

'...'

'...'

'...'

'Yeah, fair. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm going crazy.' Silas #1 stood up.

'You just realized?'

'Shut #13.'

'This might be bad. If the pain we've gone through over the last 3 days is causing this, doesn't that mean it is bound to get worse.'

'I thought y'all were a product of my concussion.'

'We probably are, but shouldn't we be careful?' #69 asked.

'...'

'...'

'...'

'Nah.' #1 shrugged before closing his eyes.

'You guys sure we're not on psychedelics?' 

'Shut up, #420.'

'Does this world even have weed?'

'Of course, they do. Now shut up, and let me concentrate on getting rid of this concussion.' #1 rolled his eyes before snapping his fingers and turning the rest to dust.

"What am I watching exactly?" A woman with long, curly, ginger hair and ivy-green eyes asked while turning to the man beside her. She held a long staff in her right hand and was draped in green and yellow robes.

"Their training over the last three days has been a little too rough for my liking. They started off going pretty easy on each other, but now..." Archie sighed.

"They've been going at it for hours." She flinched every time the sound of bone shattering entered her ears.

"Yet, Death is much stronger, so he won't tire easily, and the kid is essentially a monster in human clothing." Archie chuckled.

*Crack*

They both watched Death shatter Silas' back, causing the woman to flinch and Archie to narrow his eyes.

"Are you sure you don't want me to heal him." The woman asked in a worried tone.

"He's going to be fine." 

"His spine has been destroyed."

"The spine you're talking about belongs to a kid capable of using 5 elements, healing spontaneously, and having a level of intellect that rivals my own. He knows what he's doing." Archie retorted, making the woman next to him roll her eyes.

"He's not moving."

"I can see that..." Archie narrowed his eyes further.

"Can I heal him now?"

"Few more secs." 

"For w-"

*Swoosh*

In that very instant, the wind picked up. Mana began blowing toward Silas and revolved around him before eventually entering his body.

The cold energy washed over Silas' body, making him feel bliss like never before.

The sounds of bones cracking as they moved into place sounded for a couple of moments.

Everyone, including Death, watched as Silas' body reformed. The whole thing took a couple of minutes, but when the wind finally died down, and Silas' figure finally stood up, everyone except Archie couldn't help but let out a collective sigh.

Silas quickly stretched his body before looking at the three individuals, who were now all standing side by side, looking at him as if he was some kind of alien.

"What's wrong?" Silas tilted his head to the right, causing his messy white hair to lean to the right.

Gel and working out were not a good mix, so he chose not to wear it anymore. He would fight and train almost daily, so there was no point.

Also, it hurts when gel mixed with sweat enters his eyes, so one could technically call it a safe bet.

"And, who are you?" Silas pointed at the ginger woman with emerald eyes.

'Healer?' Silas raised a brow.

"Oh. Sorry for not introducing myself." She extended her hand toward Silas.

"I'm Life... Nice to meat you."
