Dead?
No one here could possibly surpass Hela, an Artificial Human, in her understanding of life. Yet, even so, Huai Shi found it unbelievable.
Koshchey had probably been dead for a long time.
In the moment when he released Yaga in agony, the once invincible Demon King and Immortal perished under the nurturing of the Waters of the Styx, meeting his own end.
Even though his Soul had completely melted away into the darkness he created, something indestructible by death lingered in this world.
It was like the Holy Remains that persisted after the Philosopher's Stone vanished.
After struggling for survival for hundreds of years, Koshchey had used every means to resist the death that should have come much earlier. But when death finally arrived, he chose not to resist. Instead, he engraved his final will upon his soulless corpse.
This was his last will, his final wish, and his ultimate command.
