— A faint flicker of satisfaction tugged at the corner of Darkseid’s stone-carved mouth. "So, the thorn finally wilts," he mused, his voice low, resonating like a tremor through the darkened halls. —

— But there was no triumphant roar, no victory speech, no ceremony commemorating the end of one of his greatest adversaries. Instead, Darkseid's hands folded behind his back, his gaze unblinking. —

— The universe whispered of a restored balance, but to him, it was an unsettling silence, a void where once there was resistance, defiance, & the unyielding spirit of Adell. "Over Soul," he uttered, the words tasting bitter, like ash on his tongue. "A fugacious anomaly. —

— A tempest destined to break against the stone of inevitability." Yet, within, buried beneath layers of conquest-hardened apathy, there was a recognition; a shadow of respect. Adell had been more than a hindrance; he had been a testament to the unpredictable nature of will. —

— A soul that dared to defy even the darkest decree. Turning away from the cosmic panorama, Darkseid muttered, "You may be forgotten by the universe, Adell, but not by me. In the ledger of eternity, your name is etched in defiance... & that is the greatest curse I can bestow.”

Surely he didn't die? He wouldn't leave behind his Cat? #OVERSOUL

The path of the End… grows heavier.

At long last, dénouement. An end that marked the final pangs that crucified the demon’s soul, no longer prisoner to fate, freed after a lifetime of tribulations. To the eyes of the other, Adell had simply ceased from the material plane, yet still within reach. »

« However, the parting sentiment is intrinsically mortal, fleeting yet beautiful. And he shall celebrate him so. From his unmoving hiatus, the twilight stirred to witness this very moment. “. . . A well deserved rest, old friend.”

ー a sworn brother… And yet his spirit remained resolute, until now. A fizzling of Cursed Energy, all but dissipating in the face of such a vibrant and warm smile in their fearless leader’s final moments. ❝ Rest easy, Bossman… ❞ This was it… — THE END OF #OVERSOUL.

Tears ran down the Overlord's pristine cheek, and yet with a painful smile she uttered the following. “ Je pense avoir perdu l'amour de ma vie pour de bon. ”

— Brothers, Alibaba and Adell. Why did he lose everyone who was so close to him? Everyone he loved. #𝕺𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖘𝖔𝖚𝖑🌹

A boisterous laugh echoed from the twisted conflagrations of the dizzying heights, therein where the court ebbed and the sultan flowed. ‘A masterful display, Adell… absolutely masterful.’ He pushed himself off of the seventh throne, tucking both of his arms behind as he ~

• descended from his alleviated throne, now walking beyond into the endless chambers that led to nowhere. The air began to formulate into a passage of mirrors, each portraying reflections of memories from a life long past— Adell’s life. He was taking a trip ~

• down memory lane, a much awaited review of a chapter so well written.

Location: Blood Parch Dimensions away. But, what he sensed was unmistakeable. “….” Wordlessly, he turned his focus back to the object of his prior engagement. “….No hard feelings. I’m in a very bad mood.” How much of this place would remain… after this bloody sendoff?

Unfortunately for him, forgetting wasn't going to be part of the deal. He looked up one last time, His Dragon frame looming in comfort over the mourning sisters. "𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒛𝒆 . .That has a nice ring to it, don't you think. 𝑲𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒅𝒂𝒊" #OVERSOUL

― it off. ❝ Oh ... I've been played by my own plaything. How embarrassing. ~ I am torn. However, I will certainly not let you live this down. What you left behind, will inherit the terror. But, you've already known that, haven't you? You inconsiderate, simple-minded clown. ❞

The TV flickered to a field of roses whose petals—like those belonging to cherry blossoms—hadn't touched him in quite some time. Narukami didn't feel sad at the field. There was something familiar and soft about those flowers... "Plant new seeds, you crazy rose."
