Second Darkness

by Torlek

As Amara continued to be family again with Chuck, during the events of Back At The Bar, she stepped out of her comfort zone and learned how to create. She created not just any creation, but the most powerful created being in existence, with the intent of replacing Death. The new creation fulfills that mandate, but develops other ideas, as well. (AU follow-up to Season 11)

25. Apocalypse Averted

Apocalypse Averted

Having known already about the fall of Lucifer, Sefira requested her mother to skip to the last part, on Michael. The Lesser Darkness, however, was enjoined by the Darkness to focus on the second-eldest primordial cousin and his pawns for their role in the Apocalypse averted.

She moved from insight to mental vision when it came to Death being bound by someone other than her mother or God, her uncle. She also saw in her mind the three other Horsemen and their Rings, created through the use of the Hammer of Death on its boulder. She came away from this vision rather unimpressed, looking forward to replacing the lesser Horsemen one day with dark archangels of her own.

Once she had gained all the insight she needed for this third part, she saw in her mind Michael at last, in all his lack of understanding regarding free will. She did appreciate his rule of Heaven with a primordial fist, seeing it as worthy example for the tenth of her ten Sefirot. Turning to the possibility of her eldest primordial cousin switching roles with her second-eldest, she imagined him empowered by most monster souls in their afterlives and by the appropriate Tablets of the Word of God, and evaluated this as formidable, yet still beneath her.

Her dark creator had already conveyed to her a rather low opinion on the Apocalypse. For all the archangelic power brought into the cataclysmic mix, this affected, at best, the whole of one world. On the other extreme was her mother's ability to destroy the omniverse, true to being the Destroyer. The most powerful created being in existence found her very own ability to cause a cataclysm somewhere within that spectrum, with her innate power being capable of destroying an entire polyverse per cataclysm, well beyond the scale of even the largest galaxy superclusters, great walls of galaxies, and other galaxy filaments. When factoring in her augmented power, she was capable of destroying, per cataclysm, an entire multiverse.

Now armed with intimate knowledge of just how dysfunctional her four primordial cousins were, the Lesser Darkness entertained the possibility that they would not be worth her efforts in combat, as well as the possibility of stoking the worst aspects of their dysfunctional relationship, just by simply pitting them against each other.
