Zaak, Umbral Lich
Oasis
Li-Li's attack connects solidly and obliterates Zaak's head from his shoulders. The body stands there for a second as she gathers her fathers armaments. But the body does not fall. Instead it floats up and shrugs off the death. A scaffolding of Umbral Thorns replace the space where his head was. It speaks in every voice to have existed.

"You are strong, Daughter. But I am beyond strength. I am beyond life and death and the end of all things in existence." Zaak sits down on a nearby stump and gestures to the oasis. "This is my gift. My legacy that I pass onto you. I regret that I could not give it to you while I still lived. But you are more than I could have asked for. My beautiful precious daughter. Your tyranny will ensure a utopia that lasts forever. Yours is the hand that will grip reality. Reshape it. Disregarding its screams. I have seen Oh Daughter, Mine. The terror you will become."

Zaak ends his rapturous speech and stands. "But I have much work to do until then." With his nonexistent eyes locked on her he commands her being with his voice and the Umbra.

As Lilianna slips into a peaceful slumber Zaak picks her up and cradles her in his arms. "My sweet girl. When you wake it will be to a new world. A plaything, all for you." Zaak carries Lilianna to her room and lays her in her bed. Planting a gentle kiss on her head he leaves and seals the room in a Blackout preventing escape or interference."

I turn my attention to Lotus.

"Shade, seek Umbra for our daughter. The sooner we amass the necessary fragments the sooner our dearest child can rule." I clench my jaw and she is thrown into the War Room of Castle Sanctus. I recall the Engrams of my Existences. They gather around. "Keep an eye on her. I know she disapproves of my methods."

Omega places a hand on her shoulder. "I will watch her. No treachery will occur under my watch."
