Black rushed towards the Overseer, readying his hammer.
Finally!
He had won!
Finally, he could kill her!
She had taken so much from him, and finally, he could pay everything back!
The Overseer knew that she couldn't get out of his situation with her power.
Memories of her long time as Overseer shot through her mind, and she realized how similar her current situation was.
There was no way out.
She simply couldn't get out.
Yet, as she remembered Swamp Dragon's words, she realized that there actually was a solution, and that solution was similar to the solution she could have used to get out of this prison that was Ayuvar.
"RAAAAAH!" Black screamed as his hammer moved towards the Overseer with unrelenting hatred and aggression.
Space warped.
Black's eyes widened.
The hammer slowed.
Swamp Dragon's words echoed through the Overseer's mind.
"As long as you use your soft power, you will get out of this world."
Black's hammer stopped...
Right in front of Sebastian's and Melanie's faces, who looked at the hammer in horror.
The Overseer had used her privilege as Overseer to look at the world. Then, she had used her Domain to control the Primordial Forces and teleported the two of them to her.
She had stopped the strike and survived, and she had accomplished this by doing the one thing she could have done to get out of this world.
Trust in someone else.
She didn't believe that Kyle's unending hatred could be stopped by simply using his friend, but she had decided to believe Swamp Dragon's words. Maybe soft power could surpass true power in some circumstances.
"You coward!" Black shouted, the world around him shaking.
Sebastian knew that the Overseer and Kyle were fighting. The sheer amount of chaos in Ayuvar's Energy flow was impossible to miss. Something like this could only happen when two Immortals fought.
He hadn't thought that he would get pulled into this battle, but he had still been prepared for it.
And now, this hypothetical scenario had become reality.
Sebastian had already planned his actions. He had been involved in the original Kyle's death, and he didn't want to get in his way again.
"Kyle..." Sebastian said, but his voice was caught in his throat.
He wanted to say it.
Ignore me.
Kill her.
But when he saw the love of his life, Melanie, he just couldn't say it.
He didn't want to die, but he didn't want Melanie to die even more.
Faced with the tangible possibility of returning to nothingness, Sebastian's plans fell apart.
He didn't want to die. He didn't want Melanie to die.
Kyle wasn't sure if he had ever felt this frustrated. The Overseer's life was in his hands. He could kill her!
Yet, to do so, he had to kill the last person in his life who had any kind of meaningful connection with him.
He could have his revenge. He could have his payback. Killing Sebastian wouldn't even be that bad. After all, Sebastian had had a hand in the death of the original version of Kyle. Wouldn't his death at the hands of the new Kyle be like the dead Kyle taking revenge from beyond the grave?
Even more, he hadn't seen Sebastian in hundreds of thousands of years. Just by looking at Sebastian and his companion, Kyle could tell that Sebastian had changed tremendously. A life in peace, surrounded by family, had affected Sebastian.
Was this even the same Sebastian Kyle knew?
"Kyle," Sebastian said, his voice straining. "I... You can... I'm..."
Sebastian lost all his strength and looked at the ground, too ashamed to look at Kyle.
"I don't want Melanie to die," he said weakly.
Kyle gritted his teeth in suppressed anger.
