Step five--Suffering

[will_be_god]

The chain slid from Cyrus's hands, the energy from its proximity to the Original One keeping it aloft. It snaked through the air, rising and twirling in the dull light of the dark dormitory.

Already, Cyrus could feel the power that had escaped him before. The power of the gods.

He would be a deity. He knew it for certain.

There was pain. It was burning in all its bones. Angry flames, screeching hot, as the chains binded themselves to its own stomach's ring, forcing Arceus to flail in the air.

It's mouth opened and a wail could be heard on all the campus, the pain in her voice very, very evident.

The noise was intense, and a searing pain shot though Cyrus's head at the very sound. But the pain was temporary, only a side effect of his still-mortal body.

"Give me your power, Original One," he whispered, voice almost unheard under the scream. "The power to create a new universe...! This world cannot be shaped into the ideal world I seek!"

It was beginning to flow.

The plates flew out of it body, beginning to spin freely in the air. Its skin singed and sang in pain as it hissed at him almost like a primordial, angered creature.

[will_be_god]

It was enraged, of course. That he would dare to rise against the creator! How foolish of it!

"Yes!" Cyrus exclaimed as the elemental plates swung around him in the air. "The new world will begin on this very spot!"

[jeweloflife]

When it seemed his victory was at hand...the chains tore free, the creature thrashing at them...before turning her eyes at Cyrus.

there were no whispered words. Just complete and utter silence.

[will_be_god]

The plates stopped their rotation, freezing mid-orbit around the man.

But he scarcely noticed. The chain was ripped away? That was supposed to be impossible...

What have you done? was his dominant thought, raging towards Arceus, towards the universe.

I will not be stopped.

I cannot be stopped.

[jeweloflife]

Silence again. Then, the plates shattered, disappearing like an illusion finally broken, or a new master ignored.

I have saved the universe you were prepared to doom.

[will_be_god]

"...then you have damned everything. I will not permit this."

The Red Chain was still in one piece, but it had been blown across the yard. There was still hope.

"I will not permit your tyranny any longer. I will not permit you to stand in my way, in the way of the perfect world that must exist!"
