Chapter 156 155. Death Of The Divine.
***
In a 20 feet semi furnished room.
Isha sat on the corner of the bed, hugging her knees and burying her face in them. She had cried herself unconscious before falling asleep soon after.
\'Lady Isha! Please survive!\' A sweet woman\'s voice sounded in her head.
"Gasp!" Isha jolted out of her sleep, her eyes and nose were red from crying.
"Ah." She remembered what had happened this morning, her eyes became hot and she trembled as tears welled up in her eyes again.
\'Where are these tears coming from?\' She thought and chuckled.
"Why did I speak like that? Owuu!!" She let out a cute and weak scream and slouched forward again.
"Haa... I\'m an idiot!" She sighed and cursed at herself.
\'It\'s not like he wanted them to die!!! If I could at least have calmed down a bit!!\'
"And he looked after me the whole night..... whole night!" She exclaimed at her own outrageous actions and mumbled with a slight smile when she told herself that he looked after her.
"If I was like \'Isha Eireisone\' from the past, I wouldn\'t have behaved like this...." Isha mumbled as her face twisted in disgust when she said her surname.
"Oh! The Divine Rebirth!!" Isha exclaimed in joy.
\'Divine Rebirth\' was a technique that was used by the divine beings when they are in a situation where they have to awaken their previous divinity again. This technique is commonly used by the divine beings because it slightly purifies their divinity which is nigh impossible if not for this method.
"But..... my rebirth is the opposite...." She mumbled with a bashful expression.
"Haa... It can\'t be helped, if I want to get stronger, I have to do this...." She sighed.
\'Come to think of it, won\'t Eshwar be suspicious of me, because I have become more like him....\' She realized while she kept thinking about Eshwar.
"Oh goddammit!!" She cursed and her eyes shot wide open because this is how Eshwar would have behaved.
"Oh f**k!! Oh sh*t!! Oh..... I should just stop talking.... No, I am even to talking to myself like Eshwar does!! Arghhh!!" she roughly ruffled her hair at the revelation.
\'The more I become \'Isha\' from the past, the more I become like Eshwar!!\' Isha thought, and she knew she was correct because they had been together every day for two decades! She had seen and been with him every day, so of course she would adopt some of his habits.
"No, now\'s not the time to be thinking about this, I have to go through a Divine Rebirth." She shook her head and mumbled.
"Huuu..." She took a deep breath, walked towards the middle of the room and sat down crossed legged.
"Death of the Divine." She mumbled with a slightly flushed face.
BOOM
Black coloured mana shot out of her body and covered the entire room\'s floor with it, pitch-black hands with no essence in them protruded out from her black mana and began to pull her down as the black mana began to climb up on her body, her shinny black hair floating up in mid-air as if she was underwater, and just as she was about to be completely engulfed in her own black mana, a golden ripple shot out from her, destroying all of the pitch-black hands, It was only a single golden ripple, but it sent an excruciating amount of pain through her body.
"Aaaaaaaa!! Mfffm!!" Isha screamed in agony, but then a pitch-black hand shot out of her mana and covered her mouth. She had the impression that this pitch-black hand was trying to devour her and...
\'No! You are mine!\' She glared down at the pitch black hand covering her mouth and talked to it with her will, and then.....
POP
SHWISH
The back of the pitch-black hand covering her mouth burst open and a thick black hue rose from it, forming a skull face in front of her; that skull face slowly began to regenerate, as thick layers of black hue covered that skull, slowly forming a face with seemingly threatening pitch-black hair as an exact copy of Isha\'s face materialized right in front of Isha.
Though their faces were similar, their demeanours were completely different; one was Isha, with her slightly human-like demeanour, and the other was Isha too, but menacing.
"No, it\'s mine, cause you\'re a fake! How dare you think of yourself as \'me\'!!" Menacing Isha glared, menacingly.
\'Ha! Yeah right, like that would work on me.\' Isha scoffed at the bodiless Isha as her brows trembled because of the pain she was experiencing.
\'Bit*h, I dare you call yourself \'me\' once again and erase your existence this instance.\' Isha glared at the bodiless Isha which was more menacing than the other.
"Y-you! I\'m Ish... Graaa!!!" The bodiless Isha stuttered in response to Isha\'s unexpected reaction and began to call herself \'Isha,\' so Isha awoke and shot out a ripple of her divinity at the bodiless Isha, causing that Isha-like illusion to shriek in pain.
The Isha-like face distorted and twisted into disgusting figure which couldn\'t be called a face anymore.
\'Once it is \'mine,\' it will always will be \'mine!\'\' Isha said.
\'I\'m turning more and more like Eshwa...Argh!?\' Suddenly the pain increased by a notch and she passed out, unable to bear that much pain.

KNO...
KNOCK, KNOCK
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
"Gasp!" Isha jolted back to her consciousness.
KNOCK, KNOCK
"Miss Isha! Are you alright?" A sweet woman\'s voice sounded from behind the door.
"Hm?" Isha frowned.
\'Divine pulse.\' She muttered in her mind and golden ripples shot out on the ground she was on.
\'Oh right, I passed out...hm?\' Isha\'s frown deepened for two things.
\'My divinity..... merged with my mana?\' She was perplexed because that wasn\'t what was supposed to happen in her Divine Rebirth.
\'And why are those people here...\' Isha glared at door and glanced back at her own hands.
"Hmmm..." She imagined turning into her \'Divine form.\'
CLUNK (7x)
Bright golden chains materialized out of nowhere and chained itself around her wrists and arms, and her hands turned pitch-black, even though she knew her hands were still there and she could still feel her hands, she couldn\'t feel any essence in them.
"This is..... something new." Isha tilted her head in satisfaction.
"Miss Isha! Are you alright?" Isha snapped out of her trance when she heard the voice again. Isha frowned when she heard from them because she had seen them in front of the Sunshine Orphanage and didn\'t want to see them again, if possible, never again.
"Haa...." she sighed, stood back up and walked towards the door.
CLUNK
Now, the people in front of her were, Vinny, Jiwoo, Katharine, Katline and Violet with sad and serious looks on their faces.
\'Calm down, they\'re just kids....\' she thought.
"What is it?" Isha went straight to the point without even letting any of them into the room.
"Haaa, look.....Miss Isha, we\'re sorry, we went there as soon as we got the message, but...." Vinny spoke up and his tone irked Isha to no end, but was cut short by Isha.
"..... Apology accepted." Isha said with a deep frown and glared at them.
"But forgiving you is another matter."
