After two hundred and ninety years of being trapped by herself in another dimension, Blood Lust has finally returned home to the world she once knew but things have changed in the time she's been gone, is she a stranger in her own dimension?

This is the last version of Blood Lust to operate within the CNS universe. Additionally, she is Blood Lust's primary form all the way up until Reaper Champion. This form acts as a combination of all of Blood Lust's other previous forms (Dark, Angel, Demon, Dragon and even Godkiller to an extent) and as such, she rarely has the need to shapeshift out of this form and no longer makes any attempt to hide her immortality. This form puts Blood Lust in a permanent Tier 2 state on the OP Character Ranking.

She has gained three new abilities during her time in the other dimension, Multipresence, Inner Beast and Ability Transcendence.

Multipresence allows her to split herself into two forms, the second form looks almost identical to her normal form with the exception of the dark hair and facial mark being on the other side (they also tend to wear outfits of opposite colouration). The second form is its own being, capable of having its own thoughts and decisions and even has a slightly different personality to the main form. Despite one form being referred to as the main form and the other as the secondary form, they are both equal parts of the same Blood Lust and as such both equally retain the Absolute Immortality Blood Lust is known for. However, that isn't to say that both forms are entirely equal in power, the white-haired form, due to being the 'main' form is considerably stronger than the dark-haired one (which is why the choker is required, see further down for explanation).

Their stamina, health, mana pool and all limited use abilities are 'pooled' between the two forms. As they go through abilities twice as fast they can only fight half as long but as this version of Blood Lust could probably fight for like a month without breaks, its not that big of an issue.

Ability Transcendence allows her to improve the capabilities of her other abilities to unprecedented heights of power and efficiency. She was only able to escape the other dimension through a combination of improving her Shortcut Access to be capable of crossing the dimensional barriers (you can normally only cross where a bridge is located and in this case, they were all destroyed) and improving Name Evocation so that it can function between Dimensions without the use of a Reality Bridge. For it to activate she must be outside of a dimension before she can teleport, hence why she needed to be able to leave the dimension first.

Basically she can freely cross through the dimensional barriers but can't travel through the spaces between dimensions without the use of a Reality Bridge, unless Name Evocation is used, in which she can skip any dimensions in-between and go straight to the individual who summoned her.

Due to this ability, all of Blood Lust's other powers are also stronger than they have been in previous versions. For instance, Consciousness Transferal can now be used on non-human targets with fewer restrictions (Hence why she was able to use it on the prototype bot, why only that bot, in particular, I have not determined).

Maybe Blood Lust split their consciousness while operating as Jackal and was still in control of their actual body the entire time, searching for a way to escape.

This version of Blood Lust wears a magical choker around her neck that constantly drains her magical power (Only the white-haired form). Her body naturally generates such an extreme volume of magic that it would be hard for a lesser being to remain standing in her presence, the choker helps to drain off the excess magic but isn't powerful enough to actually deplete her reserves. She is still OP as all hell with it on but if she takes it off then you can't run fast enough to escape her wrath. Only the white-haired form actively generates magic (as well as other abilities), the dark-haired form is merely an extension of Blood Lust and not the actual source of power, hence why the dark-haired form does not require the choker.

The mark under her eye is a seal she placed on her power. One half of the seal is located on the white-haired form while the other half is on the dark-haired one. When they combine back together into one being, the seal is deactivated and Blood Lust will return to their full power.

Despite all of these power restrictions, the white-haired form is still powerful enough that she could completely demolish Godkiller by herself without the need for removing any of her seals or combining back together with the dark-haired form.

### **Backstory**

On the 12th of September 2019, Blood Lust had finally made it back to the exact day that they had gotten sent back in time. On this day, they encountered the creature who was responsible for the death of their parents, the Werebeast God.

What followed was probably the most intense battle in all of history and in the end it was Blood Lust who emerged victoriously. They had killed a god, after nearly a thousand years, they had finally avenged their parents. It was at this moment that they noticed something strange about the corpse, a colossal amount of energy was being generated.

Blood Lust then realised what that large amount of energy was going to achieve... the corpse was going to explode and take the whole universe along with it.

Blood Lust saw only one option left, they had to use all of their remaining power to send the corpse to another dimension. The only problem, they couldn't guarantee the safety of this dimension unless they took it there personally and there would be no way for them to return, potentially forever... if they even survive the blast in the first place. Upon reaching the other dimension, Blood Lust used every ounce of power they could muster an attempt to sever the Reality Bridges connecting to the other nearby dimensions to contain the blast, unfortunately, Blood Lust's remaining power was not enough to entirely separate the Reality Bridges. However, upon the explosion reaching the cracks they had created, it put enough strain on the cracks that it ripped them wide open and dispersed the rest of the explosion in the empty void between dimensions. The dimensional barriers protected the other dimensions from any more potential damage.

The explosion was so massive that the shockwaves could be felt in all the nearby dimensions and it was assumed that Blood Lust... had fallen.

Alone in an empty void, Blood Lust began consolidating power in the hopes of one day having an opportunity to escape.

After around two hundred years of waiting (in CNS time), having tried every conceivable method of breaking through the dimensional barrier. Blood Lust felt a faint connection, a tiny crack in the great walls that made up the fabric of this dimension. Through this crack Blood Lust felt a presence, it didn't feel alive but it wasn't entirely without intelligence. Blood Lust attempted to send their power through this crack but it was by no means a quick process, it took months of slowly trickling droplets of power through this crack. When Blood Lust finally felt the power was sufficient they attempted to use Consciousness Transferal on the presence.

Blood Lust awoke as a tiny prototype bot in a Russian roboticists lab and thus The Jackal had been 'born'. While operating as the Jackal, Blood Lust continued to search for a way to bring her real body back to reality and in the year 2305, she had finally done it, she had found her way back home.

#### Notes

It's very unlikely that just any god could explode with a force capable of fracturing a dimension. The more logical answer is that something else was involved in this case. Maybe a Reaper, Reaper Avatar or Reaper Champion etc.

Blood Lust also didn't survive the blast unscathed. They got entirely decimated all the way down to the subatomic level and it likely took decades for them to rebuild themselves. If Blood Lust had been only a regular immortal at the time and not Absolutely Immortal, there is no way they could have survived in the slightest.

I randomly had the idea to make it that when Blood Lust got decimated, due to being in the Godkiller form at the time, the reconstruction merged Godkiller with Blood Lust's main form which is what resulted in a version of Blood Lust who no longer needs to rely on transformations.

The time in the other dimension passed at a different rate than the CNS dimension (about 5x faster) so from Blood Lust's perspective, they actually spent 1430 years trapped (so they are technically 2359 years old). The first 200 years were spent slowly rebuilding their form one atom at a time and it took about 155 years before they had regenerated enough of their brain for them to be consciously aware enough to start counting the seconds as they passed. From the point in which they started counting to their eventual escape a total of 1275 years, 7 months, 28 days, 9 hours, 17 minutes and 34 seconds had passed. (If my math is right that's around 40,229,250,670 seconds)
