Supreme Magus

One belonged to the Bastet side and resembled a solar system where instead of planets there were smaller stars.
The other was that of the Meneos and was comprised of green tendrils that looked like brown vines emerging from a green cloud.

The empty sphere was in the middle, eating at both the other aspects.
The vines regrew as soon as they were damaged and tried to wrap themselves around the sphere in order to subdue it.

The Divine Beast aspect, instead, released bursts of bright violet light from the main star that spread along its satellites.
Each one of the auxiliary stars absorbed and amplified the energy wave, focusing it like a lens against the Abomination.

Yet even two against one, the black sphere held its ground, slowly but inexorably sucking the life out of the living parts of Theseus’ body.

‘That’s why he can’t shapeshift without losing it.’ Vastor pointed out the struggle.
‘The other life forces are barely holding out at rest.
The slightest exertion is enough to tip the balance in favor of the Abomination.

‘To make matters worse, the constant damage that Theseus endures makes him hungry.
Not as hungry as an Eldritch but still to the point that it cannot be quenched if not for a brief time.
No wonder he is so cranky.’

As he spoke, Vastor’s breathing technique started attacking the three life forces at the same time.
Lith had been expecting the Professor to weaken the Abomination so that the living aspects could subdue it, but he kept his curiosity in check.

Asking questions to a healer during a complex procedure would put a risk both him and the patient.

‘For a long time, I’ve tried to put a muzzle and a chain at the Abomination life force, but it never worked.
No matter how much energy you pour against it, the black sphere is a bottomless pit.

‘It can’t be filled nor forcibly contained.
What you can do, instead, is altering its nature.
If there is no bottom, you can just make one.’ While Vastor spoke, he started to rip small pieces from each life force and transplant them into another.

At first, the vines were either burned from the stars or devoured by the black sphere.
The starlight from the Divine Beast, instead, was smothered by the blackness and snuffed by the vines.

As for the pieces of the black sphere, once transplanted they faded away the moment they received more energy than they could take.

Yet after coexisting for over two years, the three life forces had grown accustomed to each other and developed a mutual resistance.
A small part of the life forces thrived even in the new hostile environment, creating small trees and dots of light in the black sphere.

Darkness and vines spread throughout the solar system while black veins and fireflies appeared in the green cloud.

‘Keep your hunger in check, son.’ Vastor said to Theseus who hadn’t experienced such a violent appetite ever since he had ceased being an Eldritch.
‘Things are going to get worse before they get much better.’

The Master kept transplanting small pieces of the life forces, adding them to those who had already managed to survive and adapt.
Most of the time, the new tissue would inherit the resistance and help the foreign life force to grow in size and strength.

When a transplant failed, Vastor would just sigh and start anew.

Lith admired the Master’s ingenuity and how despite having the same name, Glemos’ device and the spell had two completely different purposes.
