Mobius Z: War on Gods

by Mangham13

After the Battle of Gods and defeat of the Prophesied Villains, it seemed peace may finally be a possibility for the Universe. However, enemies far stronger than anything the Freedom Fighters have faced are soon to appear on the horizon, and Hariko and his allies must take up arms and rise to a new level of power to defend those they love. It's a War on Gods. All Chapters Updated

10. Mistakes of the Gods Part 2

Westopolis, 12:46pm…

…there was a silence across the battlefield for a moment, as the two sides took in their newest opponents. The two Freedom Fighters, Harikan and Xanaks, both of whom stood in their Super Hybrid Forms, stared up at their Godly opponents, Ereedika and SH3 Harishin, who glared down at the two like they were some kind of insect or other disgusting obstacle in their path. After the moment passed and the two sides had stayed their tongues long enough, the two Gods each channelled their energy blades around their right hands and took their fighting stances, whilst the Super Hybrids flared up their auras and took their own fighting stances, both sides never taking their eyes off of the other even for a second.

Ereedika:"Brilliant. Not only do we have even stronger mortals to deal with, but now the others have gotten away"

Harishin:"Fear not, master. We will deal with them in our own time"

Harikan:"You'll have to go through us first"

Ereedika:"That would be the idea"

Xanaks:"So, you're the Omega God that assisted in Mephiles' escape?"

Ereedika:"Indeed I am, much to my own displeasure now. I am Ereedika Shin, 5th Omega God created by the Great Overseer, and this is my own creation, Harishin Mangham, the strongest being in the Universe, modelled after the former holder of the title"

Harikan:"That's a joke, right? That thing is nowhere near as powerful as my father"

Ereedika:"Perhaps he is, perhaps he isn't. In the end, he shall serve his purpose in helping my mission succeed"

Xanaks:"And just what is that mission?"

Ereedika:"A very simple one. I only wish to correct the Gods biggest mistake, and that mistake is the decision to give all forms of mortal life the gift of intelligence"

Harikan:"What kind of crap are you on about?!"

Harishin:"The Gods gifted most forms of sentient life with the gift of intelligence; the ability to think, imagine and create wonders with but a thought. And yet despite this, most mortals take the gift they have been given, and turn it against everything the gods wanted them to use it for. Planet Mobius and its disgusting inhabitants are a perfect example. The people of this Planet-the Humans, the Mobians, and even the Hybrids residing here-have the ability to create miracles, phenomena's and sensations that could benefit not only their own planet, but the entire Universe"

Ereedika:"But what do those fools use it for? They create weapons powerful enough to wipe out billions of their own people across the globe. They start meaningless wars spawned from simple disagreements and un-clarifications on certain facts or opinions and destroy this beautiful world that the Gods gifted them in the process. They lie, deceive and manipulate one another into situations where there is no choice but to attack and harm one another in order to get their own way"

Harishin:"And when their world faces a threat, these mortals do not band together in order to figure out a proper solution, but instead argue and disagree over whose fault it was that caused said horrific event to occur and beg for the likes of you 'Freedom Fighters' to save the day when they are unable to think or fight for themselves. And then, once their world has been saved, and when you-noble warriors who have risked your lives to save them for the sake of 'good' and 'justice'-have your backs turned to them, they insult and mock you for your efforts. They ridicule and complain about how you have the power to stop these threats, but never share it in any other matters like their meaningless wars that I mentioned previously"

Ereedika:"They have even, on the occasion, attempted to blame you 'heroes' as the cause of these threats in the first place. The one from the parallel Universe, Harikuni, saw this kind of injustice, and like us, attempted to destroy these kinds of actions on Mobius and correct it. And it is not just Mobius, for this happens on countless Planets throughout the Universe where sentient life has been gifted proper intelligence by the gods. They too suffer these flaws and are unable to realise the true potential their intelligence can reach, and the true meaning and purpose behind why they were given it and what they can use it for"

Harishin:"So, when the entire Multiverse is infected with scum like this, how do you create a Perfect World? Simple…"

Ereedika:"You start at the source and eradicate all forms of the parasite, before starting from scratch"

Harikan:"You're insane!"

Ereedika:"Am I really? You forget who the God is here. My eyes have been opened to the true destroyer of the Universe, and as is my duty, I will annihilate all who seek to harm my perfect world"

Xanaks:"And as is our duty, we'll kick the asses of anyone who dares threaten our home!"

Harishin:"Hmph. Even after all this, they still defy us"

Harikan:"Of course we will! We're not just gonna roll over and die because you think it's right! Yes, the world isn't perfect. Yes, those that can think will sometimes make wrong choices. We all make bad decisions. It is in our nature! We can't change that…"

Xanaks:"…but, eventually, no matter how long it takes, we do learn from those mistakes and become better for it! You have no right to just wipe out billions of lives just because we haven't been given the chance to make up for the wrongs we may or may not have done!"

Ereedika:"And that is what makes you all fools! No matter how many times you get given the chance, mortal life gifted with intelligence will always continue to make the wrong decisions! There is nothing to be done about it! The wiser choice is to simply purge the Universe and start over, creating the perfect world in the process!"

Harikan:"We won't let you have your way!" he exclaimed as he flared up his aura and transformed into his Ultra Hybrid Form.

"Let's go!" he yelled before he took to the skies and towards his opponents.

In response, the God simply lifted his blade and pointed it to his approaching opponent, before he drew it back to rest his arm near to his chest and launched downwards to meet the Mangham mid-way. Upon finally meeting, the son of Hariko launched his right fist out to attack Ereedika, though the God managed to block the attack by launching his blade forward and using it to stop the Ultra Hybrids fist in place. After struggling against one another's might for a moment, the two warriors backed off of one another temporarily, right before Harikan preformed a 360 on the spot and rushed in to attack with a left roundhouse kick, causing him and the Omega God to engage in a skirmish with one another that took them across the area.

The skirmish ended momentarily as the Mangham swung his right arm out to clatter Shin, though after sidestepping out of the way, the Mangham ended up flying forward by a few meters due to missing his target. Upon regaining control of himself, the Freedom Fighter span back around and rushed forward at the same time as the deity to re-engage their skirmish, this one growing even more violent than the last and created multiple shockwaves across the land every few collisions. After many clashes and counters, Ereedika thrusted his blade forward and broke through Harikan's guard, hitting him with enough force to launch him flying down towards the freeway below that ran through the city.

Luckily, before he hit the ground in a way that would cause him serious harm, the Ultra Hybrid managed to backflip onto his feet and skid himself to a halt, right as the Omega God straightened his arm so that his blade was directly pointed at his opponent and began firing off KI blast after KI blast from his weapon that began homing in on the Freedom Fighters KI. With incredible timing and acrobatics, Harikan managed to dodge each blast that came his way with expertly preformed backflips, each attack missing him by just nanoseconds and damaging nothing except the concrete of the freeway.

When the blasts ceased to fire after him, the Mangham relaxed his body and started to sense around the area for a sign of his opponent, only to be forced to leap back out of the way as the fake Mangham came front flipping through the smoke, energy blade at the ready, and smashed his weapon directly into the point where the Freedom Fighter had once stood, causing a portion of the freeway to collapse as another massive cloud of smoke erupted across the area. Upon landing back on his feet and dragging himself to a halt, the Ultra Hybrid took his fighting stance in preparation to face his two opponents, right as they casually strolled out of the smoke and stopped a few meters away from him.

Harishin:"Face it, son…you cannot defeat us alone!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the SH3 charged forward and began flying towards the Mangham at an incredible speed, only to pull back at the last second and allow his master to speed past him and slice his blade downwards in an attempt to chop the Freedom Fighter in half. Luckily, due to his expertly trained reflexes, Harikan managed to dodge the attack and allow the Omega God to fly past him, though he was unprepared to counter the second deity as he came rushing in faster than Harikan was able to react to. However, just as it seemed the Ultra Hybrid was about to be cleaved in two, a black figure teleported in front of him and stopped the attack with his own actual sword, prompting a smirk to grace the young man's face as he recognised his new ally as Xanaks.

Xanaks:"He's not alone!" he exclaimed before his aura flared up around him.

With his opponent caught off guard, the son of Xiro took the opportunity to slam his left knee directly into the deity's stomach, hitting him with enough power to force the wind from his lungs, right before he front flipped over the puppet of the Omega Gods and landed behind him, and then proceeded to use his sword as an overpowered baseball bat as he struck the fake Mangham in the back and launched him flying to the left of the freeway and into a nearby building. Following his cousins example, Harikan teleported behind Ereedika whilst he was still caught off-guard by Xanaks' appearance and used a right roundhouse kick to the ribs to send Shin flying to the right of the freeway and into the side of another building.

Harikan:"Xanaks!" he called out as the two made their way to the middle of the freeway and stood back to back with one another, the son of Hariko facing the direction in which the impersonator of his father was sent whilst the son of Xiro faced the area where the Omega God was launched.

Xanaks:"Sorry I didn't join sooner. I had to make sure the others were alright"

Harikan:"It's alright. I'm just glad you're here now"

Xanaks:"Think we stand a chance against the two of them?"

Harikan:"Only time will tell"

Xanaks:"Then let's make sure we give it our all!"

Harikan:"Right!"

Ereedika:"Filthy fucking mortals…!" he growled as he pried himself from the building and landed back on the freeway so that he was a few meters away from Xanaks, at the same time his creation did the same only for Harikan.

---

Meanwhile, just a few miles away, the remaining Freedom Fighters stood atop one of the few remaining skyscrapers across the city, observing the stare down between their allies and their opponents, patiently awaiting the battle to re-start.

Rexler:"Let's hope those two can handle these deity's"

Mephilisa:"I've got faith, and if things go wrong, we're more than ready to jump in and help"

John:"It's strange…I know they've both gotten stronger from training, but they're Ultra Hybrid Forms seem even stronger than usual!"

Vincent:"I get what you mean. It's like they're Super Hybrid 3's without actually being in the form!"

Mephilisa:"Just what kind of training did those two do?"

Alician:"In the Chamber, we discovered that, because of the mutation that occurred in both Harikan and Xanaks' DNA that activated the Ultra Hybrid transformation, they are incapable of truly achieving Super Hybrid 3. In order for Super Hybrid 3 to be achieved, a mutation must occur through intense training of body and mind, as Hariko discovered in his time in Otherworld. The Ultra Hybrid mutation, which occurred in the heat of battle when both of them were on the verge of death, has altered their DNA and prevents them from acquiring the SH3 gene"

John:"So how is it they've become as powerful as a SH3?"

Alician:"By mastering their Ultra Hybrid Forms. They harnessed the power of their Enraged Ultra Hybrid Forms, the one that doubles their power at the risk of sacrificing Life Energy and managed to control it enough to access the power in their original Ultra Hybrid Forms. Now, their Ultra Hybrid Forms give them a X4 increase as opposed to the original X2, the exact same multiplier as SH3"

Rexler:"Impressive, but is it gonna be enough to win?"

Mephilisa:"Guess we're about to find out!"

---

The two Ultra Hybrids stood back to back, Harikan with his guard raised as he stood meters away from the impersonator of his father, whilst Xanaks had his sword gripped tightly in his hands, staring down with the self-proclaimed God. The two Gods then raised their right hands up and fired off a uniquely coloured energy blast from their KI blades, though before the attacks could hit the two Freedom Fighters, they launched into the air and allowed the attacks to collide with one another and destroy the ground they previously stood on.

Upon reaching a suitable altitude in the air, Harishin rushed towards Harikan and attempted a right ridge-hand strike which the young man blocked with his left forearm, right before he pulled is arm back and threw it downwards in an attempt to cut off the Mangham's right arm, though the Ultra Hybrid side-stepped to the left just in time to dodge the SH3's attack. Despite dodging his attack, the fake Mangham was still given an opening to use, and so launched his right leg up and hooked it around Harikan's neck, right before he span around with the Mangham still in his grasp, and then threw him to a further part of the city using only his foot.

Xanaks:"HARIKAN!" he exclaimed as he attempted to chase after his comrade and assist him.

However, before he could even think of getting close to his brother, the Mangham was stopped when Ereedika came flying from behind and attempted to cut him in half using his own energy blade, though Xanaks just managed to spin around and block the strike with his sword, right before the two rushed forward and clashed their blades together, and then proceeded to push against each other's swords with all their might in an attempt to gain an advantage. Eventually, it dawned on the young man that the two were evenly matched, and the only way to continue the fight was to end the struggle, and so he did so with a well-placed front kick off his right leg that launched the God flying, right before he gave chase.

---

Upon managing to backflip to a halt before hitting the ground, the young man was forced to dodge several incoming KI blasts whilst travelling backwards across the city, the copy of his father pursing him and getting closer and closer with each energy blast he fired. After firing off multiple blasts, Harishin charged up more energy into his left hand before firing off an even stronger blast that, while still dodged by Harikan, produced a large vat of smoke before him that hid his opponent form sight.

Of course, he didn't stay hidden for very long, as he burst out of the smoke and dived straight at the Mangham with the intent of striking his blade straight through the Freedom Fighters chest, but before his blade could pierce the Ultra Hybrid's skin, the young man used his father's Instant Transmission and teleported out of the way, causing Harishin to instead strike his blade into the side of a building. Upon realising he had hit a building and not his opponent, the God decided to take out his anger by keeping his blade stabbed into the building as he ascended towards the skies, and upon reaching the top of the building and retracting his blade, the entire building collapsed before him and into a heaping mess of bricks and rubble.

Just as the entire building collapsed into a heap of rubble, Harikan reappeared behind the clone of his father with the use of his father's technique once more, right before the Ultra Hybrid preformed a 360 on the spot and slammed a left roundhouse kick into the SH3's jaw as he turned around to attack his opponent. The force of the attack was enough to send the fake-Mangham skyrocketing towards the massive pile of rubble below, however, at the very last second, the deity moved his own left index and middle finger to his forehead, right before he followed his 'sons' example and preformed Instant Transmission to prevent himself from being harmed.

The moment the young man realised what his opponent was doing, he span around to counter his enemy's inevitable strike from behind, only to find himself crashing down to the street below after Harishin fired a humungous bright purple energy beam into his chest at point blank, one which the God continued to funnel energy into as not to allow Harikan an opportunity to overpower the attack and break free. Before long, the Freedom Fighter finally hit the ground, and the beam pressed deeply against his body erupted in a humungous bright purple dome of devastation that shook the entire city.

---

At that moment, in one of the alleyways between the skyscrapers of the city, Xanaks was currently using his sword to slice apart each and every KI blast that came his way, all of which were being fired from Ereedika's energy bladed arm with extreme accuracy and precision, yet this was not a situation the mortal hadn't encountered before and was more than prepared to counter it. Eventually, Shin ceased his assault of energy attacks, and after sprinting for several meters, leapt into the air whilst bringing his blade above his head, and upon his approach to the ground and his opponent, swung his blade downwards as to try and slice the Mangham in half.

Unfortunately for the deity, the young man managed to position his sword in a fencing block known as neuvieme-his weapon gripped tightly in both hands and held above his head so that his blade was pointing to the left-and used said technique to block the Gods attack as he continued to apply pressure in the hopes of overpowering the mortal before him. As the two sides began using more and more of their power to hold the other at bay, their individual auras began to dance wilder than before, as small cracks in the ground spread around their standing point.

Ereedika:"FOOLISH…PRIMITAVE…LIFEFORMS!" he all but shouted through grinded teeth at his enemy.

"You…who use your God-given wisdom purely for your own gain-!"

Xanaks:"Don't insult the people of the Universe based on your own self-centred values!"

After flinging his arms and subsequently his sword to the right of his body, dragging Ereedika's arm with it and knocking him off guard, Xanaks flung his left leg upwards and roundhouse kicked the deity across the jaw with enough force to shake his entire skull and disorient him. With his enemy open, the Mangham flung his weapon into the air and used each of his fists to deal a fury of punches to the deity's stomach, right before he sidestepped to the right as Shin tried to karate chop the mortal with his right hand, only to allow his fellow warrior a prime opportunity to strike him directly in the ribs using his right fist, the mere impact sending out a powerful shockwave through his body and around the area.

Following this, the Ultra Hybrid span in place and struck the Omega God's miraculously raised cross block with a spinning right sidekick so fast and powerful, the deity was instantly sent flying down the alleyway whilst dragging his heels into the floor in an attempt to stop himself. Upon doing so, he watched as the Freedom Fighter caught his blade and placed it back in its sheathe, right before his legs slipped into a horse-riding stance and he flung each of his arms out to the side like he was a star. Then, after charging his KI for several moments, a golden aura took the place of his usual white one, as two energy balls of the same colour appeared at the end of each of his palms.

"FINAL…!" he chanted as he slammed his wrists together and clawed each of his hands, forcing the two blasts to combine into one.

"…FLASH!" he roared as the blast in his hands exploded out and rocketed across the land in the form of a humungous 60-foot-tall and wide golden beam of devastation.

On its approach to its target, the giant golden beam disrupted the pillars and foundations of the skyscrapers surrounding it, causing each and every one of them to collapse in on one another one by one as the attack drew closer to the deity. When the Final Flash finally (heh) reached the Omega God, he unleashed a mighty roar from his lungs as he launched his arms forward to catch the attack, only to be consumed into an enormous dome explosion of golden energy that expanded across the city and incinerated all that came in contact with it, including the fallen debris and remains of buildings.

When the smoke cleared, a dome-shaped football field sized portion of the city had been completely demolished, leaving only an empty space of burnt ground surrounded and warded off from the rest of the city by gigantic piles of rubble and remains of buildings. At one end of this area was the Ultra Hybrid himself, now standing tall and waiting for the gigantic cloud of smoke before him to clear and reveal the effect his strike had on his opponent. Moments later, the smoke was whisked away by a powerful gust of wind produced at its centre, revealing Shin with his aura radiating around his body as to exclaim he was still alive, albeit a tad burnt and with his clothing now torn by the tiniest bit.

Ereedika:"An impressive show, but still not enough to put me down" he chuckled as he dusted off his clothing.

Xanaks:"Seems you're stronger than you let on. Guess I can't hold anything back!" he remarked as he took his fighting stance.

Ereedika:"I suppose if you are to use your full power, then I shall do the same!" he chuckled as he pulled his blade back and rested it against his chest like previously, right before he charged forward to do battle once more.

---

Simultaneously, the two Hybrid's swung their right fists forward and struck one another across the cheek, and despite their attacks unleashing enough power to shake the city and possibly even the country upon which they stood, the two managed to keep their stare with one another locked even as their fists pushed one another's faces away. Upon retracting their fists, the two thrusted their opposite fists forward and landed a blow to one another's stomach, impacting one another with such sheer force that they each had to spit out some blood that had built itself up in their mouths.

Unfortunately, whilst the two were equally as fast to recover, the fake-Mangham managed to land the next blow quicker than his opponent, as he unleashed a fury of punches against the Mangham's chest that forced the air from his lungs and kept him disoriented whilst his opponent continued to pummel him with every last bit of strength he could muster. However, with every hit the Freedom Fighter took, the further his anger was fuelled, to the point he let it explode in the form of a massive energy barrier around himself that forced the puppet of the Omega Gods back by several meters.

The moment the SH3 came to a halt, he was immediately assaulted as the Ultra Hybrid charged forward and engaged him in a clash of fisticuffs that took the two across the city, all the while they span around one another for dominance in the struggle. Eventually, Harishin managed to gain control of the skirmish, causing the two to stop their spinning as Harikan was forced to fly backwards on the defensive, all the while his 'father' continued to rush forward and attack him with expertly timed and precise strikes that he just managed to block and counter. After Chaos knows how many attacks, the deity swung his right fist downwards at his enemy like he was trying to squash a bug on the floor, only for the mortal to leap further into the air and avoid harm.

Literally the second after his 'son' avoided his attack, the fake-Hybrid drew his clawed hands down by his left hip, right before the word "KAMEHAMEHA!" left his mouth, and he then thrusted his arms upwards towards his opponent and unleashed a giant 40-foot-tall and wide purple energy beam of destruction. In response to this, the young man flared up his aura and used his KI to enhance his speed, right before he spiralled around the oncoming energy attack and flew directly towards the God as he was still firing the Kamehameha wave, gifting the mortal a perfect chance to strike the deity with a double punch straight to the stomach that launched him flying through several buildings.

It wasn't long before the fake Mangham came flying from the final building he crashed into and met his 'son' in the sky, as the Mangham attempted a spinning hammer fist off his left arm, only to have his attack blocked by his opponents left outer block. Once he felt his attack stopped, Harikan retracted his arm and attempted to strike the deity in the chest with a punch off his right hand, only for Harishin to use the same arm he had just used for an inner block that smacked the mortals arm to the side. Following this, the young man's previously extreme anger boiled to the surface once again, and after using his left hand to grab the Gods blocking arm and pull him closer, he slung his right fist straight into his fellow Hybrids jaw, sending him crashing down to the devastated city below.

---

As Harikan began to light up Harishin and half the city with a fury of KI blasts that created a growing cloud of explosions, Xanaks and Ereedika exited a skirmish they had been engaged with, and upon landing back in the destroyed dome area of the city which they had created, the deity re-took his fighting stance as the mortal began sprinting towards him at full speed. Once he was within striking distance, the Mangham leapt forward and attempted to land a left front kick, only for Shin to smack his leg down and away from him using a quick left karate chop. However, despite the pain that now rang through his leg, the young man used this to his advantage and got himself close enough to smack the deity across the jaw with a right hook which nearly forced a spit of blood from his mouth.

Disoriented from the attack, the Omega God was left with no way of defending himself as the Ultra Hybrid span in place before slamming his left foot down on the Gods knee, forcing him to hiss in pain and leave himself even more open for the mortal to nearly force him into the ground with a blow to the back of the head using his right fist once more. It was after this did Ereedika regain his bearings, as he thrusted his body and right arm upwards to attempt an uppercut to Xanaks's jaw as he just managed to step back in time and dodge, right before he followed up said attack with a butterfly kick off his left leg which the mortal just managed to dodge in time.

After landing back on his feet, Shin thrusted both of his fists forward, one after the other, right following after left, both of which were blocked by the opposite fist of the Mangham, right before said young man swung his left arm across in a ridge hand strike, only to have the deity duck underneath the attack and avoid harm. The moment his enemy's arm passed over him, the Omega God leapt up and drop kicked his opponents chest using both legs, forcing the Ultra Hybrid to stumble back whilst trying to regain his breathe.

Upon landing back on his own two feet once more, Ereedika jumped upwards and towards his opponent whilst clasping both hands above his head, and upon reaching Xanaks, swung his arms downwards ready to crush the mortal, only to have his strike be met by his opponent's right hand and be stopped in place. With his opponent in the prime position to strike, the Mangham channelled his KI to produce a golden KI blast in his free hand, right before he yelled "FINISH BUSTER!" and fired the blast into Shin's stomach, subsequently causing him to go flying into the skies above whilst the energy attack burned into his body.

Luckily for the deity, the blast subsided after a few seconds, and he was able to backflip and regain his bearings before landing on the ground and skidding himself to a halt. The moment this happened, the young man flared up his aura and channelled his KI once more, right before he slung his arms behind himself, created a second Finish Buster, and then threw the blast sky-rocketing towards his opponent. With his Godly instincts, Ereedika sensed the attack coming towards him the moment it was created, and as he slowly and casually stood back to his feet, he swung his left arm upwards and flared up his energy blade once more at the exact moment Xanaks' blast reached him, causing the attack to be sliced in half before erupting in two separate explosions miles behind the God.

Now with his weapon in hand, Shin sprinted across the land at speeds easily reaching 60 mph, leapt into the air, aimed his bladed hand at his opponent like a gun and used his free hand to keep it steady as he began to draw closer and closer to his opponent, right before he yelled "HEAVENLY ARROW!" and began firing off multiple purple blasts from his blade that raced down towards the Freedom Fighter at a much greater speed than the puppeteer. In response to the oncoming assault of KI blasts, the Ultra Hybrid preformed 3 separate backflips to dodge the attacks, right before he leapt into the air and met the Omega God halfway between their previous standing points with his left fist colliding against the Gods bladed hand.

There was a struggle between the two for a moment, as they continued to apply more and more pressure and power against one another in the hopes they would overpower their opponent, though ultimately it just lead to an insanely bright white light blasting out from between the two and temporarily consuming the area. When the light cleared away, both warriors were already locked in another skirmish involving the deity continuously swinging at the mortal with his energy blade, and the young man using whatever strike he could to counter each attack that came near him.

Eventually, the skirmish reached its climax, as the Omega God drew his bladed arm backwards and then thrusted it forwards to stab the mortal, only for the Ultra Hybrid to use both hands to catch the blade and compress the energy to the point it dissipated and left the God without a weapon. With his grip on his opponent, the Mangham span around whilst swinging the deity above his head, right before he tossed Shin flying towards the ground below and proceeded to race after him.

Once again using his Godly instincts, the puppeteer front-flipped to regain his bearings and land safely on the ground-though not without creating a few cracks in it upon his impact-right before he rolled forwards and leapt back into his fighting stance as the swordsmen came crashing down from above and stabbed his blade into the point of the former street where the God had landed. The young man quickly managed to retract his blade from the concrete and lunged forward to stab the God, only for the deity to mimic his opponent's previous actions and catch the weapon using both hands, and used said grip to hold the mortal in place as he swung his right leg up and front kicked the Hybrid under the chin, launching him down the street before his godly opponent gave chase.

---

After skirmishing with one another for several moments, Harikan flicked his right leg out to roundhouse kick his opponent in the ribs, only for Harishin to front flip underneath his opponent's attack, and bring down a right axe kick against the mortal's head upon straightening himself out. Upon dragging his heels into the concrete road, the Mangham began to sprint at top speed down the freeway he had landed on, as the fake-Mangham began to fire off numerous KI blasts after his enemy, each of which narrowly missed his target as he just managed to gain a few steps on where the attack would land.

Almost a mile down the freeway later, the Ultra Hybrid finally flared up his aura and took off into the skies after the SH3, who was seemingly distracted enough with blasting the area of the freeway the mortal was previously seen to the point he didn't even seem to notice his opponent approaching him from the rear with a right backhand at the ready. Unfortunately for the young man, the moment he came within striking distance of his enemy, the deity span around to face the mortal-somehow aware of his presence-and launched him flying back down to the freeway with a powerful right punch to the cross-block guard.

Once he had touched back down on the ground, and Harishin had met him there after using Instant Transmission once more, Harikan and his 'father' engaged in a back and forth skirmish involving one of them attacking the other with either a kick or a punch, only for the other to dodge or block the attack and come back with one of their own that met the same treatment. After at least 10 strikes were exchanged between the two, the fake-Mangham managed to strike his 'son' across the cheek with a quick left jab, disorienting him long enough for the deity to follow up with a right hook to the jaw that sent the Mangham spiralling down the freeway.

Another mile later, the Freedom Fighter managed to un-spiral himself and drag his fist and feet into the floor to halt his flight, right before he began firing off another fury of KI blasts towards the currently sprinting and cross block raised fake Hybrid. Every blast which collided with his guard erupted in a humungous explosion that shrouded the SH3 in a massive cloud of smoke and continued to stay with him right until he reached the Ultra Hybrid, forcing him to cease firing more KI blasts as the smoke dissipated and revealed the God to no longer be present. A few seconds later, the puppet of the Omega Gods reappeared behind the hybrid warrior, his legs slipped back into a backwards right junsuki stance whilst both of his clawed hands were drawn down by his left hip.

Harikan:"Ah shit" was his simple remark upon recognising the technique before him.

Harishin:"TRUE…KAAA…MEEE…HAAA…MEEE…!" he chanted, as a bright purple KI blast spontaneously appeared in the space between his hands.

Harikan:"Ah shit!" was his second exclamation as he raised his arms into a cross block in preparation for what was to come.

Harishin:"HAAAAAA!" he roared as he thrusted his hands forward and unleashed his massive 60-foot-tall and wide purple beam of devastation.

In milliseconds, the beam collided with the Freedom Fighters guard, and proceeded to carry him flying across the city at an exponential rate, all the while fighting to break through the mortals guard and destroy him, yet he continued to hold it back with an iron fisted determination. It was only after flying halfway across the city and conveniently landing in the destroyed dome created by and being used for the other ongoing battle, did the deity's attack finally cease to carry its target, as the mortal planted his foot in the ground and refused to move even by a millimetre.

Harikan:"YOU CALL THIS A KAMEHAMEHA?! LET ME SHOW YOU A REAL ONE!" he managed to scream over the roaring of the beam being fired.

Using every ounce of strength he had, Harikan slowly moved his arms out so that he held the Kamehameha in place using his own clawed hands, and after channelling his own KI for several moments, the mortal exclaimed "ULTRA KAMEHAMEHA!" and unleashed his own 60-foot-tall and wide blue beam of amazing power. The blue beam of light managed to push the purple one back across the city until the two reached a stalemate and had an equal amount of ground between their two creators and their two targets, right as both Hybrids began inputting every last bit of energy they had into their attacks in the hopes they could overpower their enemy, though it would seem this struggle would go without a victor at the rate the two attacks went back and forth.

Just a few meters away from the beam struggle that shook the city and country around it, the deity crossed his left forearm over the top of his right whilst clawing his thumb, index and middle finger on each hand, right before he threw both his arms out to the side like he was a star and exclaimed "PSYCHO JAVELIN!" causing hundreds upon hundreds of purple KI blasts to be created in the air around him that each contained enough power to devastate a continent. Following this, the God swung both his arms forward and pointed his clawed fingers at the Freedom Fighter, prompting every single one of the KI blasts to begin racing towards the mortal at an impeccable rate.

Reacting as fast as he could, the Ultra Hybrid drew his blade from its sheathe, and used the weapon to slice apart every single blast the Omega God fired after him. Not matter what speed they approached him, no matter the angle, and no matter how much power they contained, the Mangham cut up every KI blast like they were made of butter, and within just seconds, every last blast Shin had fired at his opponent had been reduced to smoke. With his opponent open after using up so much energy, Xanaks threw his sword up and caught the hilt so that the blade was facing his enemy like a javelin, right before he tossed the weapon in a similar manner to how one would be thrown, and subsequently ended up piercing the blade straight through Ereedika's stomach and out the other side.

The puppeteer stood there shocked for several seconds, as the swordsmen slowly relaxed out of his stance and smirked at his small victory, only for said smile to instantly vanish when he watched the God rip the sword out of his stomach, and easily brush off the gaping hole in his body and all the blood oozing from said hole as he tossed the weapon right back where it came. Due to being so stunned by the turns of events, the young man barely managed to snap back into reality in time to catch the blade, just managing to grab the hilt of the weapon before the force at which it was thrown pushed him back by several meters.

Ereedika:"Did you learn nothing from your bout with Jenosaido? A mere blade will not best me, and neither shall such a petty injury…" he remarked as he clicked his fingers, causing the injury and a small portion of his clothing to fix themselves, though a huge scar remained on the deity's body, as well as all the blood which oozed from his body.

Xanaks:"Guess I'll just have to rip a bigger hole in you!" he growled as he span his blade around his hand.

Ereedika:"Like all mortals who attempt to defy the Gods, you shall try, but you shall fail!" he chuckled as he reactivated his energy blade and began to stalk towards his opponent.

However, it was at that exact moment did the area around them shake ever so slightly more violently than before, and as the two turned their attention to the ongoing beam struggle, they realised that not only had the struggle reached its climax, but also that the combination of their battling powers had created a huge white blast at the centre of the Kamehameha's, one which contained enough power to wipe out half the Planet had it not been contained like it was, and one that was moments away from erupting. Knowing what would happen should they remain so close to the blast zone, both Xanaks and Ereedika began sprinting across the area in the hopes of getting away, right as the white blast exploded into a humungous light that consumed the entire city and all those within it.

---

When the swordsmen came to once again, he found himself on the other side of the city, face down in the street and surrounded by small yet still devastated buildings. The explosion did much more than he expected it to despite being contained, as after managing to cock his head up and look at the city around him, he found that most of the skyscrapers had been demolished or simply had their height broke in two by the force of the blast, leaving humungous piles of broken buildings littering the city. As he looked to his side, he found none other than his cousin Harikan, now stuck in the side of a building and looking absolutely drained after his struggle with his 'father'.

After taking a moment to summon up his strength, the Mangham grabbed hold of his blade that was lying beside him, stabbed it into the ground, and used it to help himself stand to his feet, his entire body aching whilst doing so, no doubt because of the effect of the explosion. The very second the Freedom Fighter was back on his feet, he was immediately knocked down onto his back when a blurred figure came racing past him, a bright purple light slammed into his chest before an enormous cut found its way across said area, stretching from the lower area of his left peck and reaching to the top of his right peck.

As the Ultra Hybrids body began to scream in agony and he desperately attempted to lift himself back to his feet, a familiar chuckling approached him from behind, and as the mortal span himself around whilst re-taking his fighting stance, he came face-to-face with the Omega God once more, his clothes equally as torn to pieces as his own and with his own set of burns and scars thanks to the explosion, and yet shrugging all of that off to casually stroll towards his opponent with his energy blade hanging at the ready.

Xanaks:"How…in hell…are you still standing…?! That explosion…was huge…!"

Ereedika:"A unique kink of mine I've had since my inception. For some reason, the Great Overseer designed me without the ability to feel pain. Therefore, even with every injury or blow I am dealt, I shall never be stopped until my goals are accomplished, or I have died trying to do so. Of course, the latter half will never come to pass…!"

In a sudden surge of speed, the puppeteer rushed forward and swung his right arm out to slice his opponent once more, though with reactions so fast he didn't believe he could muster in his condition, the swordsmen managed to use his own weapon to block the strike and hold back his enemy's attack. Of course, due to said condition he was in, Xanaks was unable to hold his opponent at bay for long, and after a few seconds of desperate struggling, the mortal found himself with his guard broken, and just a moment later, a massive cut across his chest opposite to his first one, this one stretching from the lower area of his right peck and reaching to the top of his left peck, marking a huge 'X' across his chest as he collapsed onto one knee and used his weapon to keep himself from falling down.

"How about that then? Now you match with your father! Shall I define the same mark you both share on your face? I warn you; I don't always have the steadiest hand…" he chuckled as he watched his victim begin to shake, though stopped when he realised it wasn't from pain.

Xanaks:"Hehe…"

It was from laugher.

"HAHAHAHA! OH, that's brilliant…hahaha…!"

Ereedika:"What are you laughing about, mortal?"

Xanaks:"Oh…you know…how ironic your existence is…hehe!"

Ereedika:"What are you talking about?"

Xanaks:"All this time…you've been preaching about how mortals are imperfect…how we're some kind of parasite…all because we don't fit the Gods' definition of perfection…and yet…here you are…a God incapable of feeling pain…a factor that brings with it an entirely new perspective on life…a perspective that can help you understand the Universe in ways many could never hope to dream…and because you cannot experience this new perspective…your own outlook on life is flawed…and that in turn…makes you…imperfect…!"

Ereedika:"YOU DARE-?!" he screamed as he drew his blade back by the left side of his face.

The Omega God then swung his arm downwards and prepared to behead the Ultra Hybrid before him, when, out of nowhere, the second warrior to achieve the Ultra Hybrid state rushed before his 'brother' and caught the blade in-between his hands. Then, after channelling his KI and flaring up his aura, the Mangham unleashed a burst of energy that sent Shin skidding down the street whilst grinding his feet into the floor in an attempt to bring himself to a halt. Upon doing so, the deity raised his bladed arm and pointed his hand so that his palm faced his opponent, at the same time the energy of his blade drifted off his hand and formed a KI blast of the same colour at the end of his palm.

"Take this! GOD SPLITTER!" he exclaimed as he tensed his arm and launched the attack fourth, as the circular blast took on a more fire-ball esque appearance.

With a flick of his left arm, Harikan backhanded the oncoming blast into the distance-where it erupted further into the city and demolished a few more skyscrapers-right before the mortal charged forward and prepared to strike Ereedika with all his might. However, just as he was about to come within striking distance, a humungous burst of power, followed by a humungous bright blue KI beam that rocketed into the dark skies above, suddenly caught the groups attention, prompting the Freedom Fighter to grind himself to a halt before all warrior's present turned to face said beam in order to find out what was happening.

Xanaks:"That incredible increase in power…it's coming from Harishin!"

Ereedika:"At last, he has ascended!"

Harikan:"Wait a minute…blue light…it can't be! He can't have gone Super Hybrid God!"

As if on cue, the outline of the fake-Hybrid suddenly arose from the depths of the bright beam, and just as the beam cleared away to signify the end of his transformation, the deity rocketed across the city at insane speeds and crashed down directly in the middle of his 'son' and his master, protecting his creator in the process and preventing his opponent from getting any closer to him. Following this, the fake Mangham slowly stood to his feet, and where everyone expected to see the clone's own twisted version of the original Hariko's Godly Form, they instead came face to face with a now SH4 Harishin, his form almost identical in build and appearance, save for his bright blue skin instead of bright red skin, and his bright purple irises, with that same colour now applying to his scar as well.

In the span of a few milliseconds, the Mangham was sent crashing back first into the side of a small building by the efforts of the fake Mangham, who dropped down onto his right hand, and used it to support his body as he drop-kicked his 'son' at near Mach 6 speeds. The Ultra Hybrid remained stuck for but a moment, right before he managed to pry himself free and collapsed face-first into the floor, right before he began trying to push himself onto his hands. At the same time, the blue Super Hybrid 4 stood back up normally, looked down at his right hand, and then clenched it into a fist as he felt the insane power of his new transformation course through his veins.

Harishin:"It's no Super Hybrid God, but the power of Super Hybrid 4 is more than enough to vanquish you despicable mortals from this world!" he growled in his deeper and demonic voice that came with the Form.

Ereedika:"Impeccable timing, my creation" he chuckled as he stepped closer to his puppet, raised his right leg against the fake-Hybrids chest so that their groins graced one another, and stroked his chin with his previously bladed hand.

Harishin:"Anything to please you" he purred back as the two gazed into one another's eyes.

Xanaks:"Grr…you bastards…!" he growled as he pushed himself to stand on his own two feet.

Ereedika:"As if they still stand to do battle…!" he spat as he removed himself from his creation and readied himself for a fight.

Harikan:"It's like we told you…we ain't giving up…and letting you do what you want!" he spat back as he used the broken wall behind him to help him stand.

With a simple "Hmph" in response, the SH4 rushed towards his 'son' at near invisible speeds, used his right hand to grab the young man's face, and then proceeded to plough him through 3 separate buildings before finally coming to an opening in the street where he slammed the Ultra Hybrid into the floor, back of the head impacting first before anything else and causing blood to shoot from the mortal's nose. The impact was so great, a large spider web of cracks spread throughout the concrete road the moment the Freedom Fighter's head hit the floor, and the second time the fake-Hybrid slammed his 'son's' head into the floor, the spider web turned into a knee deep yet 10 feet wide crater as even more blood shot from his nose and stained the God's smiling face.

Harishin:"Perhaps those hits rewired your brain to think clearly. Do you still feel like fighting, son?"

Harikan:"I already told you…YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!" he screamed at the top of his voice, right as his power began to sky-rocket and his energy began to rise.

Upon exclaiming the words "KAIO-KEN TIMES 10!" as the incredible crimson aura surrounded his body, the mortal slammed his right fist into the ground, causing a second more intricate spider web of cracks to be created in the ground as his impact unleashed a shockwave strong enough to force both warriors off of the floor, right before Harikan used the momentum to spin himself around and put himself above the God, and then proceeded to slam the deity into the ground before using all his strength to hold him in place. Unfortunately, the SH4 was still far stronger than his opponent, and after using his left hand to grab the Ultra Hybrid by the neck and catch him off guard, the deity leapt back onto his feet and tossed the young man flying.

Luckily, just seconds after launch, the Mangham managed to backflip to regain control of himself and slammed each of his heels into the floor before using them to grind himself to a halt. Upon doing so, the mortal was immediately forced to throw his hands up and catch those of the fake-Mangham as he came flying in, causing the two to engage in yet another struggle as they each began using all of their might to overpower the other. Before long, the power the two warriors began to exert radiated each of their auras around their bodies and caused tiny pieces of rubble and pebbles to float into the air around them as the city began to shake once more.

Just a small distance away from them, the swordsmen and the puppeteer were locked in a skirmish of blades, the two combatants constantly jumping, sidestepping, running and circling one another across the area, their weapons constantly clashing by some form of strike the two had thrown, occasionally managing to get a small nip on their enemy whenever one of them lunged forward or caught the other off-guard with a successful parry. Eventually, their movements ceased as their blades clashed against one another, forcing the two warriors into a struggle of power like the one their comrades were engaged in, as both sides began using every last bit of power they could summon in an attempt to overpower their opponent.

Unfortunately, after what felt like years of struggling despite only a few minutes passing, both of the Freedom Fighters simultaneously lost the struggle against the two Gods. At the same time the Omega God's energy blade broke through the swordsmen's guard and shattered his weapon in half, his puppet used some of his dormant KI to blast beams of KI from his eyes and into the chest of the Freedom Fighter. This in turn knocked both heroes off guard, leaving both of them open for the two deities to land synchronised jump scissor front kicks to the face using their right legs, launching the two Ultra Hybrids flying down the street before they collided with one another and collapsed breathless onto the street.

---

Ereedika:"And now…" he started as he teleported into the skies above the two warriors.

Harishin:"…it's time to end this!" he finished as he appeared to the right of his master.

The two-deities then stood back to back with one another and each raised the opposite arm corresponding to the side they were on and pointed their palms to be facing their opponent, with the Omega God raising his right arm and his creation raising his left. Then, after charging their KI for a moment, a bright purple ball of energy appeared at the end of each their palms, right before they both aimed their attacks at their downed opponents, and simultaneously exclaimed "ACCEPT YOUR PUNISHMENT!" whilst firing off their blasts. On their approach to their targets, the two energy attacks spiralled around one another and eventually wound up in one another's path, causing them to combine into a giant 70-foot-tall and wide energy blast reminiscent of a miniature Sun.

---

Harikan:"Damnit! We can't let that blast hit the surface! It'll wipe out Mobius if it does!" he exclaimed as he and his cousin managed to pull themselves to their feet.

Xanaks:"Even at our full power in Ultra Hybrid Form, we're not gonna hold back this blast alone!" he yelled as the two of them flared up their auras and power, and the son of Xiro activated hi own Kaio-Ken times 10, ready to defend their home with their lives.

"Good thing you aren't then!" exclaimed a familiar voice.

Following this, Super Hybrid 3 Mephilisa, Super Kikari Alician, KOS state Vincent, along with full power Super Android John and Rexler, joined their ally's side, each of which with their own KI charged and ready to unleash an attack to help protect their home. With comrade's ready to stand by them, the two 'brothers' organised their group into a formation as they each prepared their own attacks, with Harikan at the centre, Xanaks and Alician either side of him on his left and right respectively, Mephilisa and Vincent beside them, and finally John and Rexler on each end.

Harikan:"Everyone! Maximum power! Don't hold anything back!" he ordered as he felt his old mentors attack reaching its maximum potential.

Ereedika and Harishin:"BEGONE MORTALS!" they exclaimed as they combined their power, causing their Sun-like attack to expand in size and power.

Xanaks:"EVERYONE FIRE!" he ordered as the groups attacks reached their maximum potential.

On his command, the 7 Freedom Fighters simultaneously unleashed their techniques, with the Fusion Android firing off his Hyper Energy Wave, the Super Android blasting off his Hell's Beam, the KOS Warrior letting loose his Tri-Beam, the telekinetic warrior throwing out her Psycho Shockwave, the Super Kikari Goddess tossing her own variation of her deceased brothers Grand Smasher, the swordsmen releasing his own take on the Galick Gun, and finally the guardian unleashing his mentors own take on the Masenko blast.

In seconds, the 7 energy attacks met and collided with the humungous fireball like energy blast, causing a shockwave to spread across the continent from their mere impact that shook everything it came within contact with and had the possibility of devastating the entire landscape had the power not mostly been focused on their individual opponents. There was a mighty struggle between the two attacks, with each side giving it their all and managing to push back the other side for a few seconds before the energy attacks became even once again. Realising there was a possibility their attack could fail, the two-deity's channelled some of their dormant KI and fired off 3 more KI blasts, all of which collided with their own attack and increased its power and size once again.

Ereedika and Harishin:"YOU SHALL ALL FALL TO OUR MIGHT!" they bellowed as their combined power slowly began to dominate the Freedom Fighters efforts, itching closer and closer to the ground and bringing Judgment Day for Mobius closer and closer to fruition.

Harikan:"COME ON! SUMMON EVERY LAST BIT OF ENERGY YOU HAVE!" he bellowed at the top of his voice.

Upon their ally's request, each of the 7 warriors looked deep within themselves for that last bit of strength to muster, and in one combined and mighty battle cry, the Freedom Fighters pumped whatever energy remained in their systems into their attacks, increasing the power of each and causing the Sun-like energy blast to slowly begin to be pushed back. With this small sign of victory on the horizon, the heroes of Mobius continued to push their bodies to the absolute limit, drawing upon everything in their systems to empower their techniques and win the clash against the deity's. The power they surmounted managed to bring the struggle to even ground, and as the heroes continued to push themselves, they began to push back the Sun-like energy attack.

However, upon realising this, the two Gods were not content to lose this bout against the mortals, and with their own powerful cry, exerted whatever KI they had remaining and amplified their attack, causing the gigantic energy fireball to increase in size and power once more, and begin slowly overpowering the 7 energy attacks. As it continued to gain more and more ground, drawing closer and closer to impacting the ground and wiping out Mobius, powerful gusts of wind and shockwaves began to burst out from the Sun-like attack, both of which eventually grew powerful enough to overwhelm a few of the Freedom Fighters, resulting in Vincent, John and Rexler being knocked flying away, leaving only Harikan, Xanaks, Alician and Mephilisa to hold back the oncoming destruction.

Mephilisa:"It's no good! The blast's too strong! It's gonna hit the surface any minute now!" she all but had to scream over the intensity of the wind, shockwaves and slowly approaching fireball.

Harikan:"Not if it hits something else first!" he exclaimed, prompting both women to look at him with confusion, and for Xanaks to meet his cousins gaze with that same half determined and half reluctant look.

Xanaks:"If you're suggesting what I think you are-!"

Harikan:"It's the only way! If we don't, then all of Mobius will suffer!"

Alician:"What are the two of you talking about?!" she questioned, earning her a sympathetic look off of her lover.

Harikan:"Remember that I love you, Alician! If this doesn't work, then tell our son I love him!"

With perfect synchronisation, the two Ultra Hybrid's simultaneously stopped their attacks, turned to face their two-remaining ally's, and unleashed a light yet powerful shockwave from their hands that subsequently launched the two women flying to safety with the rest of the Freedom Fighters. Following this, both Mangham's returned their eyes to the approaching Sun-like blast, and after one final battle cry from the bottom of their lungs, the two brothers charged into the air, Harikan raising his right fist as Xanaks did the same with his left as they did so, and upon reaching the deity's technique, the two Hybrid's plunged their fists into the fireball, and after pressing their strikes into the blast to hold it back for a moment, allowed their entire bodies to be absorbed into the blast.

Suddenly, the energy blast halted its place in the sky, and a moment later, erupted in a massive upwards explosion of a fire-like beam, accompanied by a humongous and powerful white light that consumed half the Planet and shook the Planet to its very core. As the explosion carried on, as buildings across the city began to collapse, as the very earth beneath peoples feet began to shatter and be levelled across the land, as humungous chunks began to rip themselves out of the ground and hover in the sky due to the immense power spread across the area, all that could be heard from the two Ultra Hybrids were their screams of agony as the fiery-beam-like explosion pummelled their bodies and brought them closer to oblivion.

Alician:"HARIKAN!" she all but screamed in horror, right before she attempted to charge towards the blast, only to be held back by Mephilisa.

Mephilisa:"NO! YOU'LL ONLY END UP THE SAME AS THEM!" she explained as she dragged the Goddess back to cover.

Ereedika:"Those fools! They sacrificed themselves for nothing! Once this blast has subsided, we will simply wipe out the rest of this Planet with no resistance!"

Harishin:"Master, something's not right. The explosion is strange…it's…changing…"

It was at that moment both the Omega God and the rest of the Freedom Fighters began to notice the change the clone spoke of, as the fire of the beam-shaped explosion slowly died down and became absorbed into the centre of the beam, where two figures hovered, both hunched over and with their arms thrown down by their hips. Once the fire had finally extinguished, the beam spontaneously became golden, and after a small shockwave was unleashed from the point these two figures hovered, causing the white explosion around them to disappear, the beam expanded out ever so slightly in size, and grew so intense in power that the entire Planet began to shake in its presence.

As the power of the two figures quickly began to rise from within the beam, two powerful and animalistic roars were heard escaping both figures, as their bodies could be seen radiating and shaking as their transformation continued. Suddenly, huge shockwaves began to burst out of the two figures body's, each of which was powerful enough to cause a ripple across the entire Planet, to shake the foundations of ground upon which they stood, create small tidal waves across the oceans, to cause huge skyscrapers to collapse whilst the stray pieces of rubble and chunks of the ground that were ripped from their resting place were reduced to mere particles of what they were previously.

Ereedika:"IMPOSSIBLE! THERE'S NO WAY THE TWO OF THEM SURVIVDED! THAT ATTACK WOULD'VE WIPED OUT THIS ENTIRE GALAXY!"

Harishin:"They're growing stronger with each passing moment…breaking past the same boundaries of strength that helped me achieve this form…!"

Rexler:"I don't believe it…"

John:"They've reaching the next stage beyond! Super Hybrid 4!"

Vincent:"They're insane! They threw themselves into the attack in order to bring themselves close to death and used that as a catalyst to bring them to the next level!"

John:"Would you expect nothing less from these two?"

Alician:"Most certainly not…" she sighed with relief.

Mephilisa:"YOU CAN DO THIS YOU TWO!"

At that moment, all those present, even the two deity's floating high above the spectacle taking place, had to either shield their eyes from the insane light being produced from the Hybrid's bodies, or raise their guard and power as not to be blown back by the huge waves of power washing across the Planet. Eventually, the golden explosion began to be absorbed into the two figures standing points, as their body shapes slowly shifted to become slightly taller and buffer, though their hair, quills and bangs remained the same shape and length, now a little wilder and spiker though.

When the light had condensed into two golden shining figures, the Omega God, his puppet, and the other Freedom Fighters slowly lowered their guards to bear witness to what had become of the two Mangham's, and watched as the two Hybrids-the glowing beings hovering in the air-rocketed down towards the ground and crashed landed just a few feet in front of their comrades, one knee and hand on the floor to support their landing, as the light around their bodies instantly cleared away and was replaced by a shroud of smoke.

As the smoke subsided, there stood the two Mangham's, fists clenched down by their thighs as they stood tall in their new forms, constantly surrounded by a blinding golden aura that radiated against their now bright red and black tattooed bodies. Their hair, quills and bangs remained the same as their previous forms, now wilder and spiker than previously, and whilst Harikan's had changed from red and dyed black as normal with the form, Xanaks' remained black and were now dyed red. As their black sclera'd and yellow irised eyes stared down the two landing Gods, a smile found its way onto each of the Freedom Fighters faces, knowing that they now stood before two Super Hybrid 4's.

Harishin:"Their power has risen…" he commented as he and his creator landed just a few meters away from their enemy's.

Ereedika:"Chaos…damn…fucking…mortals…!" he growled as he practically shook with anger and frustration.

Xanaks:"Guess this wasn't such a bad idea after all. The playing field has evened!" he chuckled in his deeper and demonic voice that came with the Form.

Harikan:"And with that, we're going to kill these excuses for Gods for what they've done!" he growled in his own similar voice as he slammed his fists against one another.

Ereedika:"Even with such an increase in power, our Godly might shall bring victory in the end! The Universe and all the mortals in-festering it shall receive their due punishment! Even if that means I must go all out!"

In one swift motion, the Omega ripped his entire tai chi and under top off of his body and cast it aside into the wind. Then, after tensing his arms out in front of him whilst clawing his hands like he was trying to break something in his hands, the deity's aura flared up around his body as his power began to rise. All of a sudden, steam began to resonate off of his body, at the same time his skin turned a darker shade of green, and that same 'H' pattern previously seen on his tai chi shop illuminated itself massively on his chest, glowing a godly golden colour as his irises and scar turned the same bright colour. As his transformation continued, his entire ab, chest, neck and muzzle area became pitch black, removing any trace of his mouth whilst his glowing scar remained imprinted into his skin.

From his new black chest, two black lines exited out each side, rounded each of his shoulders, and met one another at the centre of his back. A similar black patch tattoo appeared on his skin that covered his elbows and cut off at his biceps and forearms and was soon accompanied by a grey ring around each of his wrists that spiked up his forearm and connected to the black patch, as well as two more grey rings on his arms around his biceps and just below the shoulders, both of which were connected by a grey line running down the centre of their arms. At the same time two grey tattoo-like animal scratch marks appeared atop each of his shoulders, his grey slicked back hair grew out into a long pair quills with green dyed tips, as his ears inverted colours and became grey and lined green.

"As one of the strongest members of the Demon God race, I shall not allow you mortals to defeat me and halt my plans for Universal Correction! On this day, you shall be vanquished by our combined Godly might!" he bellowed as his sclera's became pitch black, as his aura and the steam ceased to radiate off his body.

With that, the son of the Hybrid God charged forward at a speed much faster than the two Gods were prepared to counter, and after whispering to his two opponents "We'll see about that!" the young man launched the copy of his father sky-rocketing across the city with a swift left uppercut to the chest, following after him just a moment later. Whilst too distracted after seeing his creation knocked flying into the distance, Ereedika left himself wide open for Xanaks as he dashed forward himself and planted his right leg into the deity's chest in the form of a sidekick.

Seeing that his opponent had the breath temporarily taken from his lungs whilst also having the pleasure of being knocked off balance, the Mangham followed up his attack with a quick front kick off his other leg in order to force the God back a few feet, right before he dropped down onto his right hand and used it to support himself as he span on the spot and sweeped Shin's legs out from under him using the same leg he'd just used. Upon finishing his spinning sweep, the SH4 launched his right knee into the Omega Gods chest, the pain and stress of which caused his eyes to go bloodshot and followed said strike with another front kick from the same leg that forced his opponents head backwards as he was launched into the air.

Upon exclaiming the word "SHORYUKEN!" with a smirk upon his lips, the swordsmen leapt into the air and gifted his opponent a spinning uppercut to the jaw off his left fist, right before he teleported out of sight, and reappeared a moment later as he came racing down the street and drop kicked the puppeteer flying down the road. After crashing through a building at Mach 5 speeds, the Omega God was thrown flying downwards towards the road below at a similar speed, when the SH4 teleported before his opponent-hands clasped above his head-and smacked them down into the Gods body.

Luckily, just seconds before he could hit the ground, the deity regained control of himself, and after placing each of his hands on the floor upon his landing to stabilise himself-creating a spiderweb of cracks throughout the concrete the second he made contact-the Demon God leapt backwards and re-took his fighting stance as the mortal landed before him and did the same. With a quick teleport, the puppeteer disappeared from sight and reappeared behind his opponent ready to land a right karate chop to the neck that would destabilise the mortal's nervous system, however with lighting fast reflexes, the swordsmen caught the attack with his own right hand, and then thrust his left elbow behind him and into his enemy's chest, forcing him to step back and regain control of himself.

With a chance to strike, the Mangham launched his body backwards as he attempted to land a spinning hook kick off his right leg, and immediately followed said attack with a second spinning hook kick off the same leg as he jumped off the ground, only to have Shin back-dash twice in order to narrowly avoid both attacks. Upon spinning back to face his opponent, Xanaks fired his left fist out for a quick jab that met Ereedika's guard, right before the two jumped off the ground and hovered just feet above the street as they skirmished with one another. Said skirmish finally ended when the Omega God managed to land his left fist square in the mortal's neck, right before he used that same hand to grab hold of the SH4's shirt and lift him up as to land an uppercut to the stomach using his free fist.

Following this, Ereedika span on the spot and attempted to land a right hook to the jaw, though with his enhanced reflexes from his transformation, Xanaks blocked the attack with a left outer block, slammed his right fist into the deity's stomach, grabbed hold of the Gods right arm using both his hands, and then proceeded to throw his opponent up and over his head before slamming him into the street behind him. Upon front flipping higher into the air, the Mangham came crashing down from above and slammed his left foot into and through the concrete of the street, narrowly missing Shin as he leapt out of the way and dragged his fist into the ground in order to grind himself to a halt.

The moment he finally stopped, the Demon God leapt into the air whilst flaring up his energy blade around his right hand once more, and upon his approach to the ground, readied his weapon to slice the mortal in half once he was within reach. Unfortunately for the puppeteer, just as he was about to make contact with his opponent, the swordsmen withdrew his weapon and blocked the attack using the same parry as previously, right before he pushed his weapon forward and forced the God to back away.

Following this, the two engaged in a quick clash of blades, as the Omega God dashed forward, and continuously unleashed multiple fast-paced strikes aimed to slash and decapitate his mortal enemy, only for the SH4 to swing his blade equally as fast and block every single attack with minimum effort, all the while casually walking backwards as his opponent aggressively floated forwards. After some time, the mortal ceased making an effort to move back, and managed to hold his ground against the deity as his strikes became more intense and rage-fuelled.

Eventually, Xanaks finally made a move to fight back, and after managing to bash Ereedika's arm and weapon upwards and out of the way, the Mangham preformed an anti-clockwise spin whilst moving forward and sheathing his weapon temporarily, right before he launched his right fist forward upon finishing his rotation, and hit Shin with such power that a shockwave exploded out from the Demon Gods body whilst a small beam of light erupted from his back and rocketed into the distance without harming anything.

The force of the shockwave sent the puppeteer flying down the streets once again, this time accelerating at such a speed he had to stab both his weapon, his free fist, and both of his feet into the road in order to stop himself. Upon doing so, and upon acquiring the swordsmen in his sights, the deity stood tall once more, aimed his right arm and weapon to face his opponent, and exclaimed the words "HEAVENLY ARROW!" before hundreds of purple KI blasts rocketed from his weapon and began to close in on the mortal, who stood strong as if he had no intention of dodging the attacks heading towards him.

The Mangham took a moment to slowly unsheathe his weapon from its holster using his right hand, right before he exploded forwards and began rocketing towards Shin at speeds of Mach 9, slicing apart each and every blast that came close to him on his approach with clean and single strikes. After easily cleaving through every last energy attack that came his way, the SH4 gripped his blade tightly in both his hands as he reached his opponent, right before he thrusted his blade forward and stabbed it through the Omega God's chest, knocking him off his feet and allowing the mortal to use the momentum behind him to carry the Demon God on the edge of his sword, and crash both of them into the side of a skyscraper before the entire thing came down in an explosion of smoke and debris.

It wasn't long before the smoke began to rise into the sky above, though was prevented from going too high when Harikan came rocketing through the cloud and dispersed it with his sheer speed, as he came flying towards Harishin and struck the copy of his father in the chest with a right jab so powerful that the clouds above the two of them were forced to part from the unleashed shockwave. The literal second his fist made contact with the deity, the mortal began to pummel the deity's body with a fury of punches that could've brought Mobius to the brink of collapse, as he launched his fists forward fast enough to land a minimum of 100 punches in the space of 10 seconds.

After pummelling his father's copy for nearly 15 seconds straight, the Mangham clasped his hands above his head, and subsequently brought them down against the fake-Mangham's own head, launching him directly downwards towards the city below with no control over himself and with no possibility of stopping anytime soon. Unfortunately for the clone, he was given no chance of recovering himself, as the Freedom Fighter teleported onto the ground, launched himself into the air, and swung his right foot up and into his opponent's ribs in the form of a front kick, hitting him with enough force to send his enemy flying diagonally upwards into the air.

With a second teleport, the Mangham came flying in from the side and prepared to strike his incoming opponent with a left sidekick to the back, only for his opponent to teleport away just a second before he was hit and reappear behind his mortal foe in order to land the exact same kick his opponent had planned on hitting him with. After pushing his opponent back by a few feet, Harishin span on the spot and attempted to perform a spinning hook kick to the jaw using his free leg, only for Harikan to lean back and avoid the attack, right before he launched his right arm out into an outer block to stop his 'father's' incoming spinning left hook, and then proceeded to yell "SHORYUKEN!" with a smirk on his face as he landed a spinning left uppercut to his opponent's jaw.

The second the red SH4 turned back to face his enemy, he and the blue SH4 became locked in a skirmish with one another, each of them attacking with as many punches and kicks they could muster, and due to their practically even power, there were less blocks and counters between the two, and more direct blows that shook the entire city with their collisions. After a full minute of battling it out with one another, the fake Mangham lunged forward to strike his 'son' with a quick left jab to the stomach, only for the Mangham to teleport out of the way, and then come crashing down from above to gift his 'father' a right hook across the cheek that launched the deity diagonally downwards towards the city below once more.

As his opponent began to drop to the ground below, the Freedom Fighter placed the back of his right hand against the palm of his left just above his head and channelled enough of his dormant KI to produce a golden ball of KI at the end of his palm which began to crackle and dance with electricity. Sensing this, the puppet of the Omega Gods unleashed a burst of KI from his body to bring himself to a halt, and then channelled his KI to produce his energy blade once more, now the same bright blue as his body.

Once his attack reached maximum power, the red SH4 exclaimed "MA-SEN-KO!" and thrusted both his arms forward in order to release the energy blast in the form of a humungous 40-foot-tall and wide golden beam of devastation. The blue SH4 flared up his aura as the attack rocketed towards him at speeds of Mach 8, and upon being just seconds away from colliding with his body, the God threw his arm above his head and brought his weapon downwards to slice the energy beam in half, saving the deity from harm as the two now smaller Masenko's crashed into the city below him, and produced two golden domes of devastation that consumed a small portion of the city.

As the domes grew to cover portions of the city, the puppet of the Omega Gods dashed into the air whilst drawing his bladed hand back to rest across his chest, and upon reaching the Freedom Fighter as he re-took his fighting stance, the clone swung his weapon outwards like he was attempting to backhand his opponent with his blade, only for the mortal to lean back and narrowly dodge the energy weapon as it skimmed his cheek and made the tiniest of cuts. After registering the small pain the cut gave him, Harikan charged forward to sock his 'father' across the cheek with his right fist, only for Harishin to teleport out of the way, and reappear behind his 'son' to send him flying with a drop kick to the lower-region of his back.

After grinding himself to a halt and teleporting back down to the ground, the red SH4 flung the upper half of his body backwards like he was doing a limbo, in order to avoid the blue SH4's blade as he charged forward and attempted to stab it through the mortal's stomach, succeeding in only grazing his enemy's chest because of his manoeuvre. Following this, the Mangham placed each of his hands on the ground to support his body, launched both his legs up and wrapped them around the deity's arm, and then, like he had done so in his battle against the Perfect Creature, used his hands to push himself into the air and backflip whilst tossing the fake-Mangham flying down the street using his legs.

Nanoseconds after landing back on his feet, the Freedom Fighter span around and launched his left hand out as some of the dormant KI in his body was released in another massive beam as he exclaimed "MASENKO!" once more, which chased after the puppet as he flew down the street with no control, and collided with said puppet the moment he crashed into a nearby skyscraper, bringing the entire thing down in one humongous explosion of light that shook the city with its might.

The smoke produced from the crash was suddenly dispersed as Harishin rocketed upwards from the rubble and began closing in on Harikan, who had teleported into the air to meet his opponent and began firing off multiple energy blasts in the hope they would collide with the deity and slow him down. Unfortunately for the mortal, the rage fuelling the blue SH4's body pushed him to both dodge and slice apart whatever KI blast came his way, to the point he was just seconds away from reaching the red SH4 and preformed a 360 on the spot before swinging his bladed arm out to slice his enemy, only to succeed in slicing off the tiniest stray hair.

A nanosecond later, the fake-Mangham began assaulting his 'son' with multiple slashes and strikes from his weapon, all of which the Mangham managed to dodge and avoid with expertly timed weaves and ducks. Of course, he couldn't keep it up forever, and after being struck in the chest with a quick drop kick from the puppet, the Freedom Fighter was sent crashing down to the ground after being struck on the back with a bladed karate chop, followed by a front flipping drop kick that unleashed a powerful shockwave upon impact. Despite the blows received, the son of the Hybrid God managed to land safely on the ground with a backflip, right before he teleported away as the puppet of the Omega Gods came crashing down and stabbed his weapon into the spot the mortal was stood.

Harishin:"An impressive display, but you're only delaying the inevitable" he growled as he retracted his weapon from the ground and dispersed it as his opponent reappeared a few feet behind him.

Harikan:"Keep telling yourself that. You and your master are about to join the other Omega Gods, wherever they are" he remarked as his 'father' turned to face him, and the two took their identical fighting stances.

At that very moment, Xanaks came skidding across the ground and grinded himself to a halt once he was back to back with his 'brother', just as Ereedika floated down from above and landed a few metres from his enemy like his creation had done, with the two mimicking their comrade's actions and taking their own fighting stances whilst retracting their own weapons. A silence spread across the battlefield momentarily, as both sides stared each other down once more, the two SH4's keeping a calm yet serious manner, whilst the expression of the two Gods was more frustrated and enraged.

This was what led the two deities to attack first, as they rushed forward and began firing off multiple fast-paced punches at the exact same time, only for both mortals to raise their guards and block every last punch their two-enemy's unleashed. Following an in sync spinning hook off their left leg with a right roundhouse kick which the two SH4's managed to avoid, the two deities were sent flying backwards by the Mangham's as they landed another jumping left uppercut whilst exclaiming "SHORYUKEN!" right before they teleported after their opponents and smashed them back first into the street with a right axe kick and clasped hands swing to the stomach from Harikan and Xanaks respectively.

Upon hitting the concrete with enough momentum to cause them to bounce off the ground after spreading cracks throughout it, the two were forced to collide into one another after their opponents came flying from behind and slammed their right fists into the God's backs with enough power to launch them flying down the street and hit one another at speeds of Mach 8. The second master and puppet hit one another, the cousins dashed forward and readied their free fist to strike their enemy's once again, only for the two to teleport away at the last second, causing the hero's to only hit one another's fist with enough power to create a small shockwave that shook the ground.

---

Ereedika:"This is preposterous!" he exclaimed, as he and his creation reappeared high above the city.

Harishin:"We are Gods! We shall not be embarrassed by the likes of these feeble mortals!"

Ereedika:"It is time for Mobius to face its retribution! We shall end both the Freedom Fighters, and the inhabitants of this Planet in one fell swoop!"

Following the two-deity's flaring their auras and powering up their energy to the max, master and creation moved so that they stood back to back-Harishin on the right facing his two opponents below him and Ereedika on the left-right before the two flared up their energy blades around their left and right hands respectably, and then extended their arms so that their weapons were pointing directly at their enemy's. Suddenly, the KI and aura of their energy blades began to fuse into one, eventually creating a bright purple and black cored energy blast nearly 4 feet tall and wide between the two deity's hands, one which easily radiated enough to wipe out the Planet 4 times over and was still growing.

---

Harikan:"Time to finish this!"

Xanaks:"Let's do it the same way we should've killed Garo Kan!"

Harikan:"Right!" he exclaimed as the two flared up their auras.

As the son of Hariko took a backwards right junsuki stance and lowered his clawed hands down by his left hip, the son of Xiro raised his hands above him and to the sky like he was carrying a massive ball above his head. Before long, that familiar bright blue light appeared in the space between Harikan's hands, at the same time a golden and red cored energy ball appeared in the space between Xanaks hands, right before both attacks began to spark with electricity powerful enough to shock someone to death, by simply being in its presence.

The combination of the two attacks charging caused the entire coast to shake and tremble in its presence, with several skyscrapers across Westopolis shattering and collapsing from the power that was outputted, whilst the Freedom Fighters witnessing the battle were forced to output their dormant KI in order to be strong enough to hold their ground. The combination of growing power eventually cultivated to the point the skies around the city and half the Planet began to grow dark and cloudy, and even began to unleash powerful strikes of lightening across the land that decimated whatever they hit.

---

Ereedika and Harishin:"CHOU MAKOUHOU!" the two deities exclaimed, as the purple and black cored energy blast erupted out into a giant 75-foot-tall and wide blast of devastation.

---

Harikan:"HYPER KAMEHAMEHA!" he roared as he thrusted his arms upwards and unleashed the famous technique in the form of a gigantic 70 foot tall and wide beam of power.

Xanaks:"HYPER FINISH BUSTER!" he yelled as he swung his arms downwards and tossed his energy blast into the sky, as it expanded out into a 40-foot-tall and wide bomb of energy.

On their approach towards the Gods' attack, the techniques of the two mortals combined into one, forming one humungous energy beam with a gigantic orb at the end of it, both attacks pushed forward and enhanced with every last bit of KI the two Mangham's could summon. Within seconds, the two attacks collided with one another, the mere impact unleashing a wave of power that demolished every last structure left standing in Westopolis, leaving the city a ruined wasteland consisting of humungous piles of rubble and destruction.

At the moment of collision, a humungous strike of lightning echoed across the sky, darkening the world momentarily and further illuminating the humongous clash of colour across the skies. Both sides used every last bit of power they could muster to further enhance their attacks power and overpower their opponent, causing the two beams to constantly move back and forth between each other depending on who had managed to gain the advantage in power during that second.

Finally, as the two beams grew even in ground once more, and the power built up between both sides began to reach its breaking point, both mortals and both deity's summoned up one last surge of KI within themselves and unleashed it into their attacks in one last and mighty roar of strength. In that moment, massive beams of white light began to explode from the space between the two colliding attacks, right before a humongous explosion of light burst across the skies of the Planet as the struggle reached its climax.

In said climax, the overwhelming power of the two SH4's managed to push back the Omega God and his Puppet's attack, to the point the two Gods were hit and consumed first by their own technique, and then by the attacks of the two Freedom Fighters. At that very moment the energy of the 3 KI attacks began to pummel and destroy every part of the deity's bodies, the white light that had previously overtaken the skies was drawn back to the giant bubble of energy the two Gods had been consumed into, and once all the light had cleared away and had been absorbed by the giant dome of power, it erupted in the form of a humungous golden and blue light that overtook a 1/3rd of Mobius yet only devastated the two victims at its epicentre.

---

As the light finally began to clear away, the two SH4's managed to get a glimpse of two bodies falling from the sky and colliding with the ground further into the ruined city. With their wits still about them, the two Mangham's charged further into the wasteland in search of their opponents, ready to do battle if they were not defeated by their combined blast. Luckily for them, once they arrived at the centre of the city-where they had saw the two-body's land-they were able to relax ever so slightly by the sight put before them. Lying on one of the many smaller piles of rubble throughout the city, were the two Gods the mortals had been doing battle with, each of them in a condition that could only be described as; practically dead, in light terms anyway.

The fake Mangham barely shared a resemblance with the one and only Hariko Mangham, due to the intensity of the injuries across both his face and his body. Whilst his hair had managed to stay spiked up despite reverting back to his base state, the scar across his face had worsened due to the combined attack and was accompanied by a huge 3rd degree burn across the side of his face, all the while his left arm was nowhere to be found. Blood poured from every single bruise and cut on his body, most notably across his chest, as well as from his mouth and pupil-less blank abyss eyes, which told the two Freedom Fighters Harishin had died during the explosion, no doubt attempting to protect his creator.

Speaking of said creator, he was in no greater condition, even despite his puppets possible efforts. Whereas his creation had lost his left arm, Shin's right arm had been completely disintegrated, and the same was the case for both of his legs, which looked like they had been amputated by the amount of blood pouring from the deity's body. What was left of his clothes were in tatters, burnt and ripped to shreds by the force at which the combined Kamehameha-Finish Buster had hit him. His scar had also worsened and was accompanied by a massive 3rd degree burn across the side of his face, though his eyes still retained their pupils, which glared at the two mortals stood towering over him.

Ereedika:"I don't understand…I am a God…a Demon God…an Omega God above all else…! I stand on a position above all mortal life in the Universe…there should be no way my power can be challenged…and my creation…a being I created to be the most powerful warrior in existence…falls at the hands of the very mortals I created him to stand above…what a pathetic excuse for a warrior…what a failure I should have never wasted my time on…when I could've made myself even stronger than my own limits allow me to be…I could've crushed those who stood against me with my own two hands…!"

Harikan:"You're finished, Ereedika. And so are the rest of you Omega Gods"

Ereedika:"Finished?! Hahahaha…You fool…we Omega Gods…are far…from finished…in reality…we have yet…to even…begin…"

Xanaks:"Just who are you Omega Gods exactly? And where are the rest of your comrades hiding?"

Ereedika:"Hehe…foolish mortals…are you really so desperate…to learn of those that would bring about your demise?"

Harikan:"Either you answer our questions and we'll end your suffering, or we'll just leave you to rot. Your choice"

Ereedika:"Hmhmhm…very well…I shall tell you of our origins…though only so you have a better understanding…of those who shall inevitably bring about your nonexistence…"

Xanaks:"Start talking"

Ereedika:"Generations ago…

---

…the Great Overseer created us Omega Gods…7 warriors who stood as the strongest of all deity's…right underneath our creator…we were supposed to protect…the 12 Universes from whatever should threaten them…though after centuries…of witnessing the same issues plague each individual World…most notably…in the 6th and 7th Universe…we saw no further point in protecting these inferior forms of life…we planned to create a better Multiverse…a greater Omniverse…one perfect and untainted by the previous problems we witnessed…

In order to carry out our plans…we needed to overthrow the Great Overseer…and so staged a revolt against him…and the other Gods of this realm…though we were no match for our creator…he was far too powerful for us to stand toe to toe with…he would have destroyed us…had it not been for our unique soul design…which he crafted himself…because of this…only a mortal could kill us…but with the level of power currently present throughout each Universe…it would be eons before a mortal could even dare oppose our might…

Whilst he enacted his own plans…in an attempt to bring about a generation of mortals with the power to finish us…he sealed us within 7 individual prisons…which he named the Omega Emeralds…and scattered us…across the 6th and 7th Universes…as to further add to our torment…by being in the place which we deemed the most sinful…unfortunately…the Great Overseer underestimated us…and using our combined power…we managed to establish a small dimension outside of reality in which the 7 of us could reside in whilst trapped…

Eons…of waiting…and training…within our created dimension…allowed our power to grow above and beyond its previous limitations…our new power…accompanied by the immense shift in power due to you mortals growing closer and closer to reaching control over God KI…slowly broke down our Prisons to the point we were temporarily allowed to break free…in return for our Freedom…huge amounts of our power have been trapped within the Emeralds and the dimension we created…though once the Prophecy finally comes to fruition…we shall be completely freed from our confinements…and our power shall not be restricted…as it has been in our previous bouts against you…

---

…when that day comes…you…your Planet…your Universe…the entire Omniverse…shall fall to our might…and existence…shall begin anew…in our…perfect…image…!" he barely managed to finish, as he began to take more ragged breathes, all the while a demented smile and twinge in his eye crossed his face as blood streamed down from his head.

Harikan:"That's enough. Xanaks, finish him off"

With that, the son of Xiro raised his right hand to the smiling corpse of the deity and his puppet, and upon exclaiming the words "HYPER GOD BREAKER!" unleashed a massive beam of golden energy from his hand that annihilated every last cell of the two deity's, reducing them to mere piles of ash that were cast off into the wind created by the force of the Mangham's attack. Once there was nothing left of their two opponents, the two Hybrids powered down to their base states, took a well-deserved breathe, and then fist bumped one another as a sign of a good job. It was after this were the group joined by their comrades, who all joined together to celebrate with one massive hug.

Vincent:"Now that was too close for comfort"

Rexler:"You can say that again. I'm just glad you two managed to pull through"

Xanaks:"If it hadn't been for the boost from the Super Hybrid 4 Form, things might've gone extremely differently"

John:"Lucky you guys did so much training"

Harikan:"And yet it nearly wasn't enough. These Omega Gods weren't as powerful as Mephiles, fact they were only a margin stronger than Jenosaido, and yet we nearly lost to them. Each and every time one of them has shown up, they've gotten stronger and stronger. Eventually, it's going to get to the point that not even my father can take them down"

Mephilisa:"If we knew more about them, we could prepare ourselves better against them"

Alician:"The two of you managed to squeeze some information out of Ereedika, but it still feels like there's more we should know"

Xanaks:"Father told me that Tyrus and Ujun were already well aware of the Omega Gods, so if they knew about them before we did, why haven't they told us more about them?"

John:"Better yet, why haven't they done anything to stop them?"

Harikan:"Guess we'll have to find out"

Mephilisa:"What do we do now, brother?"

Harikan:"Xanaks, Vincent, gather the rest of the Freedom Fighters and bring them to Mobotropolis. John, contact Rouge and have her inform G.U.N that the crisis in Westopolis has been averted, and that we'll need the Chaos Emeralds gathering for the damage to be fixed"

John:"What exactly are you planning to do?"

Harikan:"We're going to join the others in Tyrus' dimension. We must talk with the God of Destruction and get answers…"

---

Later, at Tyrus' Dimension…

…everyone was busy training once more, each occupied in their small groups once more and giving it their absolute all with whatever exercise they had partaken in. It looked like they would not stop for hours or maybe even days with the rate at which they were working, that was until the sudden emergence of a group of familiar energies caught their attention. As everyone turned their attention to one of the unoccupied small fields, they watched as every one of the Freedom Fighters appeared out of thin air, with Harikan lowering his fingers from his head after using Instant Transmission to bring everyone there. After everyone had quickly greeted and caught up with one another, Hariko, Dracton and Xiro stepped towards their comrades for answers.

Dracton:"What are you guys doing here?"

Harikan:"The Omega God is dead, sort of"

Xiro:"You mean the one who freed Mephiles?"

Xanaks:"Yeah, along with his pet"

Ice:"His pet?"

Rexler:"A completely identical copy of Logan, created from the evil energy contained within the Deathexen. He was powerful, far stronger than even his master. Luckily, he could only go to Super Hybrid 4, not God, and he seemed to have no knowledge of Kaio-Ken. We would have lost to them, had Harikan and Xanaks not use one of their attacks to bring them close to death and push their bodies beyond their limits to reach Super Hybrid 4 themselves and even the playing field"

Hariko:"Another copy of me? I don't know whether to feel flattered or offended"

Sonic:"Wait, what do you mean 'sort of' dead? How did you 'sort of' kill a God?"

Xanaks:"According to what Ereedika-the one we fought-told us, we cannot kill the Omega Gods just yet. Even though we defeated both him, Jenosaido and Honosenshi, they are all still alive and are residing in a realm outside of reality and our grasp. They've resided there for generations, along with all of their comrades, and won't be killable until some prophecy comes to fruition in which mortals can stand on the same level as Gods"

Harikan:"The closer and closer we grow to said Godly power, the closer we come to the day we have to fight all 7 of the Omega Gods for the fate of the Universe"

Shadow:"7 of them? Just like the number of Chaos Emeralds…"

John:"Each of them were sealed in a prison known as an Omega Emerald, which, according to what we've been told, share an energy link with the Chaos Emeralds"

Hariko:"So we've got 4 more Omega Gods to face?"

Mephilisa:"Not exactly. Ereedika said the Omega Gods were scattered across the 6th and 7th Universe, which means either our Universe or the 6th could contain the last Omega God we have to face"

Knuckles:"Would've been nice to know all of this beforehand. We could've stepped up our training and prepared ourselves better for their arrival"

Xanaks:"Funny you mention that, since it seems that both Tyrus and Ujun were well aware of this threat before us" he remarked, causing everyone's attention to shift towards the two deity's.

Suddenly, before the group could get further into their discussion, a massive bang rang across the area, and was followed by a bright orange light appearing out of thin air containing the outline of what seemed to be a hedgehog. Before long, this light cleared away, and out dropped the one and only Silver the Hedgehog, who reverted from his Super State to his base form and began taking multiple deep breathes as Hariko and Dracton moved to assist him.

Hariko:"Silver! What happened? What did the Future hold for us?" he asked as he and the machine helped the time traveller to stand.

Silver:"(gasp)…(gasp)…what did it hold? What did it hold?! It held nothing! There WAS no Future…!

---

…when I arrived in the Future, my breathe was instantly taken from me…it was as if oxygen didn't exist anymore…I had to transform into my Super State and produce a KI barrier around myself just to survive…I thought I'd set the Emerald to bring me to the Mobotropolis of the Future…what I ended up in was a mere shell of what the city used to be…destroyed buildings…fire's the likes of which could not be extinguished littered the land…even the very ground and grass beneath my feet had been shattered and reduced to cinders…there wasn't the slightest trace of life here, or anywhere on the Planet…

I knew I had to find out what had happened here, so I ventured on, desperate to find some clue or sign that would point me to answers. As I travelled the now waterless oceans en-route from location to location, I realised that the Planet now felt…bigger, somehow. As if Mobius had somehow doubled in size. There were even cities and landmarks that I did not recognise, yet despite this…the case was the same everywhere I went…destruction…death…an apocalypse…to put it lightly…

After searching for hours, I convinced myself that some horrible disaster had happened which forced us to evacuate to another Planet in the Universe, so I used Chaos Control to take me across our galaxy to Planet Agar in the hopes I could find information there…only to find the Agarian's home had suffered the same fate as ours…and so had every other Planet in the Universe. Everything on every Planet had been destroyed…every aspect or semblance of life…gone…demolished…even every Chaos-damn star was gone…someone, or something, had extinguished them all…

Realising there was no hope for salvation for this place, I journeyed back to Mobius. Whatever had caused this catastrophe, it must have originated there. Some cataclysmic battle would've taken place, and because of its outcome, the entire Universe had been brought to annihilation. And yet I couldn't fathom how it had reached this stage. None of us would've let this happen. There would've been some way to keep it all from turning into this. We would've fought till the last man to make sure the Universe continued to exist and had peace…so what happened?

When I got back, I noticed that there were 6 other Planets floating around Mobius, each of them just bigger than the moon but nowhere near Mobius' now gargantuan size that still threw me through a loop. As I explored each of these worlds, I discovered why we hadn't done something to stop this Universe from reaching this critical point of devastation. We'd tried, but we'd failed. On each Planet, there was at least one sign of our defeat against this unknown force. One sign that served as a reminder to the non-existence inhabitants of this land that whoever had caused this to happen, had ensured they would've gone unchallenged.

On one of the Planets, volcanic and ash ridden, I found the bodies of Harikan, Alician, Ichiro and Dracton. You were all grey and frozen…like statues. They'd tried to shield Alician from some oncoming attack, whilst she had attempted to run in an attempt to protect the child, who laid still and dead in your arms. On another Planet, frozen over and chilled to the bone by the constant blizzards storming across the lands, I found amongst the storm the blade of Xanaks stabbed firmly into the corpse of a warrior whom looked near identical to Kelriza, all the while Vincent's cybernetic arm clung firmly to the hilt of the weapon, with no sign of the rest of his body.

Each Planet I visited held a worse and worse fate for each of us, and even for warriors whom we've never seen or met before. However, there was one of us who survived, though what he now endured was perhaps greater suffering than any of us had gone through. See, when I first came to that Future, I believed the humungous bright light in the sky that illuminated the world before me was just the Sun. However, after travelling the Universe and seeing that every other star had been extinguished, I grew more curious about the light and journeyed closer to investigate. And what I saw upon my arrival shook me to my core.

Before me stood Hariko, his bright blue aura from his Super Hybrid God Form somehow radiating as bright as the light he was holding back, but there was something different about him. Not only was he covered from head to toe in injuries-bruises and burns far worse than anything I'd ever seen him receive, all the while blood trickled down from several parts of his body-and not only was his GI torn completely to pieces-with his shirt completely incinerated off his body to reveal the humungous bleeding scar across his chest-but he looked…defeated…the glimmer in his eyes that was a combination of tears and blood said it all to me…

What he held in his hands was no ordinary orb of light or star, but an energy attack…one with the power to wipe out all of existence, as I managed to gather from his own ramblings to himself…whoever had brought the Universe to such devastation had fired off this blast in the hopes of wiping out all that was, yet even with all the carnage that had taken place, Logan had stood in defiance of this being, and had held back this attack for what seemed like decades…

I wanted to ask him what had caused all of this. I wanted to find out how the world had reached this stage of destruction, but there was no time. Before I knew it, 7 figures descended upon our location and began to attack me, leaving Logan to suffer his torture of knowing he'd failed everyone and yet was still protecting existence itself from annihilation. Despite their speed and power advantage over me due to their Godly KI-which I barely managed to sense deep within their being-I managed to escape and hide from them until the Chronos Emerald recharged...

---

...once it did so, I made a rush to escape, though not before one of those figures found me and broke my barrier, almost causing me to suffocate and die before I even made it back…"

Alician:"That was our future…? That's what's going to happen to us if we carry on our current course?!"

Tyrus:"Of course not. It'll only be your future if you don't train your hardest and battle with all your might"

Hariko:"I don't mean to be rude here, Tyrus, but we're soon to do battle against an entire group of deities for the sake of the Universe-a group of deity's who you've known about all this time and was the actual reason you came to us in the first place-and yet the person who has shared more information about them are the deity's themselves. If we're going to stop the Omega Gods and give the 12 Universes true peace, then it's about time we learned more about our enemy's origins. So, spill it"

There was a moment of silence, as the God of Destruction and Guardian God looked between one another and shared a quick mental conversation, right before the Hakaishin let out a deep sigh and turned his attention back to the Freedom Fighters.

Tyrus:"Billions upon Billions of centuries ago, when the life of the Universe was first starting to take shape, the Great Overseer of the 12 Universes wanted to ensure that all life throughout the many Universes was protected should they come under attack…

…he sought to do this by crafting warriors of incredible power that would watch over the Universe and destroy whatever evil should threaten the peace. To create these beings, he deprived from the all-powerful Chaos Force and crafted 7 Gems of incredible power, one for each Warrior that he would create. He infused some of his own power and life force into the life of these gems and created an almighty warrior from each Emerald.

For centuries, these 7 warriors watched over the 12 Universes and defend them from the evil forces that emerged in each Universe, like the Heads of the Demon, the Followers of Lucifer, and even the Sun God Solaris, who I know you are all familiar with. However, one day, the Omega Gods decided to rebel against their creator. After having seen the troubles that littered each individual Universe, each of the Gods wanted to solve said problem in their own way, and begrudgingly agreed with one another that the best way to solve all of their problems would be to kill the Great Overseer.

Of course, it didn't go well for them, and each of the Omega Gods was defeated with little effort. Unfortunately, the Great Overseer could not kill the Omega Gods, as some of his own life-force had been infused with their beings. As such, the only way to kill them and prevent them from being a threat was for a Mortal to kill each of them. At the time, however, that was impossible, as there existed no mortals capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Gods. The very concept of KI was only beginning to spread throughout each Universe, and it would be eons before any of them surmounted the strength to take on the Omega Gods.

Until there came a day when mortals could stand on the same level as the Gods and be capable enough to kill the 7 Warriors, the Great Overseer trapped the Omega Gods in small Prisons comprised of Chaos Energy and shaped like the very Emeralds they were crafted from. He created them powerful enough so that they would be held until a solution was found, for he knew that even if they remained trapped for the rest of eternity, they would find a way to cause harm to the 12 Universes and their people.

The Great Overseer knew he needed a way for mortals to gain godly power, but with the state of the Universe as it was, he needed to allow time to pass in order for mortals to become ready to accept the level of power they would need. From this, a prophecy was created that stated; when the day comes that mortals reach Godly power, the cages that held the Omega Gods will be broken, and the two sides shall do battle to decide the fate the Omniverse…

---

…to ensure that God KI would one day be harness-able by mortals, the Great Overseer looked for the strongest races known throughout the Universes, and helped their people create rituals which would bring one special member of their race into the realm of Gods, whilst allowing the rest of his race to be capable of harnessing God KI in the process. In accordance with this, he extracted some of his very life-force and KI from his body like he had done with the Omega Gods, and spread them across the race like seeds in a garden, so that, one day, a single being would be born from each race that held the power and heart to become the God of their people and do battle with the Omega Gods"

Hariko:"Wait, his life force and KI? You mean he implanted tiny bits of his own being into every single member of each race?"

Tyrus:"Yes. In order for a mortal to undergo the ritual, they needed all of the lifeforce and God KI from their race to be able to survive having such great power without being crafted to do so in the first place. The Great Overseer couldn't implant that sort of power into one mortal all at once, and so he had to allow that power to slowly come together over generations before a mortal could undergo the ritual and not die"

Xiro:"So you're saying that Hariko, Dracton and Alician are the combination of all the Great Overseers Life Force and KI he previously spread across each of their entire races? And because of their acesnion into the Gods of their own race, that's how the rest of us have access to God KI without technically being deity's?"

Tyrus:"Exactly. It's not only why they're extraordinarily strong, but it's also how they survived the trials to become the Gods of their races, and how they are able to sustain such power. It's also why some of you are as powerful as you are, as your close personal bond with each of them, and in some cases your literal family and blood bond, allowed some of that power and life force to be shared with each of you even more. "

Harikan:"Does that mean…all of us warriors…are Demi-Gods?"

Tyrus:"Indeed. And the same is the case for the 6th Universe, our twin Universe. Due to the similarities between the two, and due to each having the strongest mortal level of each of the 12 Universes, the Great Overseer decided that the mortals of each of these Universes would be the ones to do battle against his creations. Because of this, not only did he spread some of his life force and KI into the races of both Universes, but he also divided the 7 Emeralds across the 2 Universes so that 3 remained in our Universe, and 3 remained in the other. The last Emerald resides in the space between Universes"

Ujun:"When the prophecy comes to fruition, and mortals have reached the stage to stand toe to toe against the Omega Gods, the two Universes shall combine into a single Universe in order to unite the warriors of both worlds and ultimately put a stop to the threat of the Omega Gods. That was why Silver witnessed Mobius had grown larger in the Future, and why warriors whom you didn't recognise were also at the sight of the battles. When the time comes that you must face the Omega Gods, the 6th and 7th Universe shall merge into one, and the inhabitants of both Universes will learn to coincide with each other before teaming up to finish the former Protectors of the Omniverse"

Tyrus:"That's also one of the reasons me and my twin brother hold our Tournament every few centuries. We've been trying to ensure the power level of mortals grows steadily and steadily higher to the point they can stand against the Omega Gods"

Xanaks:"So that's why you really came to Mobius then?"

Tyrus:"Correct. The prophecy stated that; when the day comes in which mortals would come harness the power of deity's and stand on even ground with them, a Battle of Gods would ensue between the two, acting as the trigger for the prophecy to begin commencing. My battle with Hariko after he first achieved the Super Hybrid God power was this trigger, the ripples created by our power spreading across the Universe and causing the Omega Emeralds to slowly deteriorate. This is what has allowed the Omega Gods to be freed temporarily, though they were weakened significantly as their power is tied with the Emeralds. Only once they are destroyed as the prophecy finally commences will their true power be unleashed"

Dracton:"If it was Hariko's battle with you that acted as the trigger to start the prophecy, that must mean we are close to bridging the gap in power between mortals and the Omega Gods"

Tyrus:"That's what the tournament is used to check for"

Ujun:"Speaking of which, I do believe only a few months are left before said Tournament is to be held"

Tyrus:"You're correct, which is one of the many reasons you all need to keep training. The warriors from Universe 6 are powerful, so you'll need to be at the top of your game in order to do good against them. You'll need to get a good gauge on their abilities and strengths, since you'll be working with them to bring down the Omega Gods, and there's no better way to learn about a fellow warrior than to do battle with them"

Hariko:"Should've known it was about time our training got kicked into high gear"

Xiro:"Wasn't it already?"

Hariko:"Heh, suppose you're right. But now we've even more reason to train hard. Not only do we have Omega Gods to defeat to keep our home safe, but we've gotta make sure we win this tournament and demonstrate how powerful Universe 7 is! I can't wait to see what kind of warriors we'll be up against!"

Rexler:"Let's just hope we don't have any more interruptions from outside forces. We need to put all our energies towards training"

Vincent:"Best be glad that the Omega Gods are the only current threat…"

"…I can't imagine how we'd deal with anything else at this point…"

Meanwhile, down in Hell…

…amongst the countless lakes of lava and hundreds of dangerous valleys and mountains, wandered a lone figure. This lone figure was the one and only Harishin, his clothing and body repaired due to being dead, and with a halo constantly floating above his head to serve as a reminder of this fact. Due to not being an official deity, and only having achieved said status due to the God KI pumped into his body by his creator, the fake-Mangham was thrust down into Hell upon his death in order to absolve for his sins.

Harishin:"Damnit! As if I have ended up in this cease pit filled with mortal trash!" he growled as he stamped his foot into the floor, creating cracks around the point it hit.

"That's no way to speak about your new comrades" remarked a familiar and devilish voice just a small distance from the fake-hybrid.

As the puppet turned his attention to the source of the voice, he found 3 figures staring down at him from a small rock formation; the Perfect Creature Rexcor, the Demonk Emperor Kelriza, and the one who had called to him, the Universe old Evil Mephiles. The 3 sides stared at the lone warrior for a moment, right before they jumped down and landed a few meters away from him, right as the entire area was surrounded by every other villain the Freedom Fighters had ever defeated; Metal Hariko, Mecha Hariko, Metal Xiro, The High Chief, Ronin, Ragnore, Felrikan, King Kalrax, Hagian, Shade, Garianga, Kilutro and Garo Kan.

Harishin:"What is this? An ambush? Do you really think all of you can take on a creation of the Omega Gods? One who surpassed their power?" he growled as he transformed into his Super Hybrid Form.

Mephiles:"Come now, Harishin. You insult us. We may be villains, but we would never do that to our own ally"

Harishin:"Don't try and fool me with your silk tongue, Mephiles! You were going to betray my Master and attack the rest of the Omega Gods!"

Mephiles:"Only because they threatened to destroy what was rightfully mine. What was rightfully the claim of every warrior standing before you. They would have destroyed the very existence which all of us were meant to rule and wreak havoc across ourselves. Surely, you can understand why I would betray him?"

Harishin:"Unfortunately, due to being partially created by your energy, I do understand. However, that does not mean I shall not defend my master's honour!" he exclaimed as he took his fighting stance.

Kelriza:"Ah yes, your master. The one who created you to be the strongest being in existence in order to act out his goals. And how were you treated when the very thing he created failed to carry out the task it was created for? He cast you aside and blamed you for his own failures to create the strongest being. Such disgraceful behaviour, even from one whose morality aligns with our own, cannot be forgiven or sympathised with"

Harishin:"Where exactly are you going with this?"

Rexcor:"We wish to offer you a position amongst our ranks. To give you an opportunity to enact your own goals and serve your own desires as we take this Multiverse for ourselves"

Harishin:"Is that so? And why should I align myself with a group of mortals? Let alone with the man who sought to betray my creator?"

Mephiles:"All previous grudges and agendas are dropped here in Hell. After all, we all crave to see the same people be burned for their transgressions against us. There is no reason for any of us to align against each other. Our combined might would overwhelm those do-gooding heroes, and allow us to reshape the Multiverse how we see fit, without erasing all of creation to do so like some idiotic Gods"

Kelriza:"Besides, why would you want to go back to that pitiful excuse for a deity you once called a Master?"

Harishin:"He…he was the one who created me…my sole purpose is to serve his desires"

Rexcor:"And where did that devotion lead you? What did that unwavering loyalty reward you? Death, by the hands of the very beings your Master created you to stand above"

Harishin:"You're…you're right…if I was supposed to be the strongest being as he claimed…I would not have lost to those Chaos-forsaken mortals like he claimed I wouldn't!"

Kelriza:"Do you not wish for your own goals and life outside of your now former Master? With him dead, you no longer have a creator to serve, so why not serve yourself and your own desires?"

Harishin:"The goals he had…the goal for a true utopia for the Universe…I wish to make this my own goal…how I shall carry it out and what form it shall take I have yet to decide…however, so long as I have the freedom of choice, the ability to decide these things for myself without that pitiful excuse of a God swaying my ideals, I do not care what way I am taken"

Rexcor:"So then, will you stand by us? Will you take a stand against those who have wronged you, have wronged us, and take a chance at a true life not ruled by the oppression of the Gods?"

Harishin:"…very well…if revenge against the Freedom Fighters and the Omega Gods is our combined end goal, then I shall join forces with you. And once we are finished, we shall create a new utopia to call our kingdom?"

Mephiles:"But of course. Such is our combined goal"

Harishin:"Then count me in" he chuckled as he powered down to his base state and offered his hand out to be shook.

Kelriza:"I knew he would see eye to eye with us" he commented before he began to chuckle.

Rexcor:"Welcome to Hell, Harishin" he greeted as he shook the deity's hand.

Harishin:"Why thank you, Rexcor, was it? So then, what is the scheme?"

Mephiles:"To put things lightly; we're going to shatter the Otherworldly barriers and break free from Hell"

Harishin:"And how do we plan on doing that?"

Kelriza:"With this…" he chuckled as he raised his tail to eye level and revealed a strange golden and black halo was gripped tightly by his 5th limb, small cracks spread around its surface.

Harishin:"(gasp)…it cannot be…it was said this item was destroyed during one of the great Wars of the Gods thousands upon thousands of millennia ago…how did you find it?"

Mephiles:"Countless time spent searching every last depth of this cesspit. The Devil himself seemingly placed it at the bottom of the deepest hole in Hell, as to be rid of the last reminder of his time spent in the World above serving the Great One"

Harishin:"The power this item holds is truly unfathomable…because the Devil was banished from his place in the realm above, he lost access to his Holy KI, though due to retaining his Godly status, his power became corrupt. This resulted in the creation of a new KI type; Demon KI, said to only be master-able by those with the evilest of hearts and intentions"

Mephiles:"And it's with this power that we shall all ascend to our own Godly States and use our combined might to shatter the reality barriers separating Hell and the Mortal Realm, gifting us our Freedom from this cesspit, and the opportunity to seek vengeance against all those whom had wronged us in the past. With no one left to challenge us, we shall create a new Multiverse in our image, where evil reigns all, and we are the most powerful and unchallenged beings in existence! Not even the might of the Omega Gods or the Great Overseer will be able to stop us!"

Another Omega God has been defeated! And yet another threat lurks on the horizon! The Villains of the Freedom Fighters have acquired a source of power once used by the Devil himself, and plan to use it to gain access to Godly power themselves! Just what is this source of power? How powerful will the villains become? And can the Freedom Fighters put a stop to their schemes before the Villains take over the Multiverse? Find out in the next Chapter of Mobius Z: War on Gods!

Side note: if you hadn't already guessed, this Chapter and the last was heavily inspired by the Goku Black Arc of Dragon Ball Super. I tried putting my own little spin on the villain's intentions, though thought to keep some things the same just for the sake of having a fun story. Quickly wanna say thanks for over 666 views (convenient timing since the next Chapter is going to be about Hell…DUN-DUN-DUN!) and I'll see you all in the next Chapter!
