The shock was total, absolute paralysis of thought as Raze stared at the being wearing his face with markings and crimson eyes that gleamed with malicious satisfaction. The strongest mortal to ever walk Istea's soil. Living inside him since that moment in the Abyss when Gunn's sealing technique had cast his soul into dimension of eternal torment. Claiming him as successor to power that transcended what gods themselves had achieved naturally.
His mind was racing through implications, trying to process revelations that exceeded anything his transmigrator knowledge had prepared him to handle. Records of Istea had never mentioned Asura by name, no lore about legendary cultivator who'd reached peaks beyond normal mortality before being imprisoned by divine forces. Either the game's developers hadn't included that storyline or it existed in content he'd never accessed before dying and reincarnating.
