3105 Flung Open (Part 1)

There, the speck of blackness found the already burning world energy and was set ablaze like everything else. Except that the Origin Flames didn't burn the death energy.

Once ignited, it burned Lith's mana and the world energy in a burst of blue flames. They burned at the Origin Flames, consuming the violet fire before moving on to Primal Spark and Lith's life force.

The Father of Fire jumped back and let go of Lith's face before the blue flames reached him.

"Okay, that's enough for a first try. Reel them in." It took Valtak a split second to understand that it was agony, not surprise to have cut Lith short.

Contrary to his expectations, the blue flames spread inside as well as outside. They followed the stream of mana back to the cracks in Lith's life force, setting everything in their wake ablaze.

Upon reaching the cracks, it wasn't just a speck of blackness fueling the blue flames anymore but every single drop of death force that oozed out of the cracks. The gate that the Void had kept closed for over twenty years, guarding Lith's life force from invaders, was now flung open against his will.

Souls he hadn't called upon and who he hadn't granted any access to his bloodline abilities took everything he had by force. The countless voices that Valtak had heard a few seconds ago weren't muffled any longer.

They screamed their rage and agony in Lith's mind, their thoughts flooding his own until he could barely tell which memory or idea belonged to him. Lith was forced to relive the countless souls' deaths, experiencing the pain and fury that kept them from moving forward.

"What's going on?" Tista asked when after a few seconds the blue flames had yet to burn out. "Didn't you just ignite a single spark of Lith's mana?"

"I did but I'm afraid that the worst-case scenario is beyond anything I predicted." Valtak replied. "I made a grave mistake. I assumed that the blue flames were akin to Origin Flames and that to burn things they needed to consume the source of their strength.

"I was wrong. It takes death force to ignite the blue flames but that's not their fuel. They feed on world energy like Origin Flames. The problem is that they feed on every form of world energy, not just what Lith conjures!"

The Father of Fire pointed at the rocks, the ground, and even the ashes in the air that were set ablaze by the contact with the blue flames. Everything was fuel to them. A hard piece of stone was no obstacle to the blue flames, it just gave them more energy to burn.

The blue flames broke everything down by consuming the forces that kept matter and energy together with blazes of entropy. Where there was order there was also fuel and fuel burned.

Everything was fuel. Everything burned.

To make matters worse, the death force kept seeping out of the cracks in Lith's life force and generating new blue flames that spread further and faster by the second.

'Fuck that old fossil!' The Void was doing everything he could to shut the door close again, but he was alone against an unending flood of desperate souls.

Taken one by one they were nothing to him, but there were thousands of them, and more kept pouring. Their sheer numbers would have been enough to overwhelm the Void and they were just one part of the problem.

Lith's mind was drowning in memories that didn't belong to him. He was forced to face in seconds decades of traumatic events and struggled not to let them scar him for life. The blue flames were also burning at him, digging through his body as they inched closer to the cracks.
