"Uck!!" Vassago trembled in fear, ignoring the excruciating pain he was feeling.
'I'll die!' 'I'll have to kneel!' 'I have to apologise!'
He had no idea why, but he knew what had to be done. The man standing in front of him had a majestic yet terrifying appearance, like an existence that shouldn't be angered.
Vassago had no idea, why? What? Or how? It was happening, but he knew he'd have to kneel and beg to die without much pain; everything about his existence seemed insignificant in comparison to the being in front of him.
Now, he wanted to kneel, he wanted to beg and he wanted to survive but felt like it was something impossible to achieve because his consciousness didn't obey any of his commands and trembled uncontrollably.
"Hehehehahahaha!" The being in front of him transformed into a thick black gelid smoke that engulfed everything until there was nothing left, the white ominously beautiful world he saw was no longer there, everything was covered in black, but the clouded blue sky remained as clear as ever.
BOOM
The ground began to tremble, and an unimaginable amount of pressure bore down on Vassago, who stood motionless. Why? Because his consciousness had gone numb and he couldn't even feel the pressure that was bearing down on him, until....
A streak, there was only a streak of pressure he could feel, but it was enough to cause him to kneel in mid-air with his head down, his void mana was slowly slipping out of control and obeying someone else's commands.
He knew who this 'somebody' was, and he was gratefully relinquishing control of the void in the hope that the being would simply kill him painlessly; he had no hope of survival, and all he wanted was to die without much pain.
"This is my consciousness." The being said coldly, and the entire world in front of Vassago trembled. Vassago felt 'fear' of his existence disappearing and feared the 'unknown.'
"How dare someone as insignificant as you, try peek into my consciousness." Vassago's pitch black body, which seemed to devour light, had now turned pale, which was quite ironic to see.
BOOOOOMMMM
Suddenly, a thunderous 'boom' rang from outside Vassago's consciousness, snapping him out of his trance and fear. Though he still couldn't do anything, he felt angry, and all of his pride of being a 'devil,' 'demon-prince,' and 'the third demon' of the lesser key of Solomon seeped back into him, and his anger turned into outrage, blinding his thoughts and fear.
"I am the devil!" Vassago roared out loud while kneeling mid-air with his head down, his rage dulling his senses to the point where he couldn't even feel his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Ho! Hahaha." The being sounded amused as he chuckled.

Vassago's host's system notification popped up in front of him which he dismissed without even giving it a glance.
***
In the middle of something unknown.
A white-haired man stood, staring at many image-like screens that had encircled him in a cylinder, the images in front of him changing twice in a split second that he seemed to have complete control over, his eyes moving to every single image as the images coiled around without stopping.
Many 'earths' appeared around him, hundreds formed in an instant after a single 'earth' completed its day rotation once. There was no sun or moon, but the light that fell on the earths remained constant as they continued to spin in their respective directions.
*
Every memory I had of 'earth' and the earth of the novel, everything, I remembered everything in an instant, and for a moment I forgot what was real and what was just a memory, but everything flashing right in front of my eyes made me realize something I had been doing all this time after I was reborn.....
I was wasting time.
I was wasting time on insignificant things.
I had developed the habit of keeping my thoughts to myself as if they were some kinds of big secret, my other form, which I had stopped using after returning to the 'human' domain, it felt like I was rejecting myself.
'My form is just a part of me, my hidden card and just... 'me''

....
Many glitched system notifications appeared in front of me; I'm not sure why the system had gone crazy all of a sudden, but I didn't mind because it wasn't the first time it had done so.
"It's been such a long time I have used my other form, I am sure I'm in my consciousness..." I grinned ear to ear as my eyes arched.
"Why don't I just go all out? Hmmm..... What if I destroy everything in the real world thinking I'm in my consciousness?" I pondered to myself with a smirk.
"Ahem, I can't help it, what will I do if I destroy everything like I did before....." I stared up at nothingness.
I glanced at all the earths one at a time, I could see everything taking place inside of it, I glanced through everything until I found the right one which... Didn't take much time.
"Oh!? You were here?" I asked as I found Vassago.
*
"This is my consciousness." I said as I took control over the void inside 'Vassago' not the one inside 'Vinny,' but Vassago's.
When Vassago chose Vinny as his host, his void and Vinny's merged into one. Why? Even Vassago was unaware and assumed that their compatibility of their 'demonic' natures was high, but the real reason was me, the author, who caused their voids to merge.
''Void' is unimaginably strong power, don't blame me for being greedy, my goal has always been the same....'
Getting strong enough to destroy everything.
[User has learned to control '???'.....]
ZZZT-ZZT
The system notification glitched and a new glitched system notification popped up in front of me.
[User has learned to control 'Void energy.']
[User has now complete control over '??? Energy.']
[User has taken control over 'The Black Dragon's Fire.']
[The Black Dragon's Fire: [Type: Attribute.] [Can be imbued into one Trait.]]
"Ho!!! Finally! I have complete control over 'that'!!!" I jumped in joy before snapping out of it.
"Oh.... But I can't use it..." I slouched forward with a glum expression.
