Chapter 21

I woke up; not on the beach, but on the dock the Endurance was at before setting sail.

Though the Endurance was no longer there I didn't know why I was back home and instead on an island.

I didn't think about it too much. I couldn't explain it, nor did I have the chance to go back to wherever Lara and the rest of the crew are.

I couldn't even call for an SOS because I had no idea where they landed and if they were in the Devil's Triangle or not.

I couldn't do a thing except go back to my mother and tell her what happened.

I didn't even have the briefcase anymore.

Yet I still had my hat.

I started to head towards my mother's home; that's when I started to see smoke in the distance, so I ran as fast as I could.

When I got there I saw my mother holding a glaive in her hands and in front of her was a man.

It happened so quick, but my eyes were able to keep up.

Mom ran at the man with an incredible amount of speed and sliced the man's arm off with one swing as she got close.

She stopped in front of the man in order to get a good swing and cut the arm completely off.

But it was little help; the man's arm regenerated as fast as it was cut off.

My mother tried to jump back but the man was faster and grabbed her by her face with one hand and lifted her off the ground and smiled.

A large and loud shatter filled the air, cutting out every other sound there was.

I just stood there, tuned out from the world.

My emotions were gone, I had no anger, sorrow, joy and any other I have not yet described.

I was just… nothing.

The man said something as he wiped the blood off his hand on…

He walked towards me with that same smile never have left his face.

He said something to me.

I think it was along the lines of "If I were you, I would get out of here before something bad happens to you."

He then wiped the remaining blood on his arm on me before walking behind me and out of my sight.

I didn't move…

What was the point?

I couldn't fight him; I just saw what he was capable of. I'm nothing more than a single mortal.

My life started to slowly pass through my mind from this very point in time, to when I was born.

But then it continued after that, it continued to a Great War that looked like the same place where Mom's house is/was. Gods were fighting demons and demons against Gods. Among those demons was that same man that passed by me a while ago. He looked nothing like what he was just a moment ago, but I could tell in the way he smiled as he cut and slashed his enemies.

In the center stood two Gods, one of universal good and the other of universal evil.

They spilled the blood of their opposite and that's when the past started to play forward.

The blood had soaked into the earth, blood of gods and demons don't leave if they are incredibly powerful.

That's when I saw it, my birth.

The blood of both Yunibāsaru Aku, and Yoi Yunibāsaru had mixed together to create me.

My full true name is Pyuayunibāsaru chūsei, meaning; Pure universal neutral.

But my non real mother called me.

"Onmyō." I said out loud making the man walking away stop.

Whatever each God and demon create, they use a little bit of their power and a portion of that power is what makes it what it is.

Each creation they make has a small portion of their own blood in it.

I am everything that the gods and demons create.

My mental state is the universe and demension itself, which is now shattered into infinite pieces that no longer make up this single universe and demension.

Whatever I kill, I kill a part of me.

But an infinite amount at that.

"I am everything and nothing, I am everyone yet no one, I am everywhere and also nowhere; I am Onmyō, the newest and most powerful god there is." I say turning to the man who killed Amaterasu, my non-birth mother.

"You, being a god? AH! Don't make me laugh kid, but I just killed one right here and know and- where's the blood and brain that I smeared on your suit?" The man said as his smiled faded.

I adjusted the fedora to not fall off and then held out my arm to the side.

Out of the ground and air, came a grey-silver like smoke trail that was not from the burning house.

The trail ran across my palm and I closed my grip on the smoke.

It started to take the form of a sword with Yin-Yang symbol on the hilt. Though it had no hand guard like almost every other sword does.

The man imitated that he was scared and I cut him off right there.

After looking at the blade, I saw that it was a katana, but I knew that it could change into other things.

I will not give this sword a name, because it does not want one yet.

I give the blade a swish and the ground in front of me split in two and white flames rose from inside the split.

That's what I cut the man off with.

"I will let you escape this one time, but if I ever see that damn smile of yours ever again… I'll kill you right where you stand… dad." I say letting Father run like the weakling he his.

He vanished out of my sight, which was a good thing.

The power I had just unleashed was not even near its full capacity.

The ground around me started to get crushed by this new power of mine.

I could see every new universe and demension that was once a piece of my mind.

I could feel every being in each one.

I hadn't even hit the surface of my power and I knew.

I had passed the strength and power of man and was reaching that of a powerful God.

The surroundings around me were completely different know.

Instead of what was once a grassy field is now a dried up waste land.

My power kept rising as did my feelings and sights into other universes.

It just grew and grew till I had passed the length of any God.

I suppressed it as much as I could, but even the amount I held back I was too strong so quickly.

My hair turned white and almost looked like it was on fire with white flames.

I snapped my finger knowing I had to do something and quick.

A large temple rose this would be the strong hold for this new power.

I teleported to the middle of the largest room in the temple and stabbed the unnamed sword into the ground.

Instantly, the power I was still obtaining started to pour into the sword and the large room at a very fast pace.

The growth of power stopped and was now growing by using the sword instead of me.

Yet, I started to lose these memories that I were just gaining and ran outside in order not to lose all them.

I made it out alright, but I had made sure I would not forget a few things.

My name, my power, my brother and sister and my new rule to kill any God either holy or demonic that steps outside their universe for whatever reason.

Waru and Yoi were made out as a substitute for a weapon of the one that resides in the temple.

I hoped I never have to unleash such power that I knew, was still growing.

I woke up on the stone floor of the temple, still alive.

The great power that had once been inside this temple was inside me.

I did not die, the power that resided inside me were remains of the power itself and tried to absorb the missing portion before recognizing its master.

I had done it; I had achieved what I was looking for, the ability to change knowledge into power.

This may not make since to a lot of you, it does to me.

You know what you're capable of, only if you look back at what you did in the past.

In this case, I am capable everything.

I forgot that I had the power to destroy everything with just a thought.

All the people and creatures I knew were split when the universes were created. But none of them remember me.

I could just snap my finger and I could fix everything. But I will reject that option till as a last resort.

Before, I couldn't control anything. Now, I can control whatever the Gods and demons make with a thought.

I had matured and can now control this endless power that still grows even to this minute.

I walked over to the sword that had been stuck in the soil for several endless lifetimes and pulled it out.

Inscribed on the blade was my name in Japanese.

It then changed into several different languages.

I waited until it finished and then produced a sheath for it.

I tied the sheath to my back, but the handle of the blade lay at my waist, not my shoulder.

I then headed outside the temple and to finish my business.

I opened the door to come across several of the once allied soldiers my other self-had worked with.

"Drop the weapon and get on your hands and knees!" One of the soldiers shouted at me with his rifle trained to my head.

I took a moment to think and said "Yeah… that's not gonna happen."

They then opened fired on me and put several holes into me.

I fell onto my back unmovable.

One of the soldiers came over and flipped me over and tried to take my weapon.

But I knew she was too heavy for them, even if she was a katana.

At the form she is now, she weighs about the same as the force of 300 black holes.

I grew tired of watching them fail at picking up my weapon, so I started to regenerate my body and fixed my suit in the process that had grown back when I was unconscious.

"Do you lift?" I asked the soldiers with a smile.

I then pulled out the blade and with little movement and effort, I cut their weapons like water.

That's when the rest of the soldiers started to fire on me as the other were killed by my blade.

The blade started to sing in a lovely woman voice and all the men dropped to the floor with nosebleeds.

The women that still stood tended to them as she stopped singing.

"They're not dead, they're just seeing things that dwells within each man's heart." I said to a woman that was tending to one of the men.

I then set out to find where Marshall Ryan was, I had to deal with this now and humiliatingly to him.

I may have unlimited power, but what's the point of being so powerful if you don't give the enemy a chance to win? Absolutely nothing, that's what.

I found the place they we're hiding.

They were able to create bases on the shore of Antarctica.

Their military must have had a lot of power in order to survive such cold weather, and not get covered in snow overnight.

But it did not matter to me; I was able to tread through what would have been waist deep snow for a normal mortal with ease.

But I soon found myself at the building that held her.

I brushed the snow off my pants, put my fedora on, straightened my tie and knocked on the door.

Then I kicked it down 3 seconds later.

Handguns and rifles were aimed at me, some picked up a bottle on tables or a utensil on a table.

"Guess I'm in the mess hall." I thought walking in.

"Hello, I am… well, that doesn't really matter to you fine… gentlemen." I said trying not to say mortals.

I stepped off the door and placed it back in place before it fell.

I then turned around and asked "Do any of you know where Marshall Ryan is? I have to speak to him about the woman that he is holding."

Silence

I sighed and said "That's alright; I don't want to level the building with the lowest layer of ice under the snow. So I'll ask again, where is Marshall Ryan?"

"He's in his office, that's down the hall from here and towards the holding cells. You'll come across a choice at the end of the hall, take the one on the left and you should come to his door." A soldier said that held tray as a weapon.

I nodded and followed his instructions with my hands in my pockets as I silently snapped my fingers.

I came across the door that had a sign on the side that said "Marshall Ryan, do not disturb at current time."

I knocked on the door and heard a scream coming from inside the room beyond that door. "CAN'T YOU READ THE DAMN SIGN?! OR DID YOUR MOTHER NEVER TEACH YOU THAT?!"

I put my ear against the door and heard whispers that I could and couldn't make out exactly.

I activated my aura vision and looked past the door.

I am not going into detail but I will say that I furious with what I saw.

I broke down the door with a strong gust of wind and walked in.

The Marshall stopped what he was doing and started screaming straight into my face.

"SO WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DISTURBING ME IF YOU WEAR SUCH FANCY CLOTHES, BREAKING DOWN MY DOOR?!" He yelled at me while I covered my face from his spit as he yelled.

"You talk too much." I said as I grabbed his face and slammed it against his desk.

He struggled before he passed out from lack of air.

I let go of him and turned to see Amaterasu, smiling.

She started to open her mouth but that's when I cut her off and said "Don't try and fool me, dad."

Amaterasu's smile disappeared for a moment before reappearing again.

"How ever did you find out?" She asked putting her hands on her waist.

"That smile, you keep forgetting to pay attention to my words and did something that I wouldn't expect." I said very bored-like.

She smiled and said "Yes it's true; I took the lives of my other selves, along with their power. I am the only remaining one that exists of me."

"Then you were strong enough to take control of a strong God or Goddess. What happened to your real body?" I asked.

"Destroyed, it was disintegrated by that damn Yoi Yunibāsaru, is he still alive to today?" She asked.

"Yes, along with his sister and I, but why did you take over my father's body right before he died." I asked.

"You wouldn't believe it; I had frozen time before the building collapsed on him. What seemed like seconds to those around him, were centuries for him. He only wanted to see his family one last time and not like the way it was. I wanted the immense power that you held inside you." She said twirling her hair.

I huffed and said "Then you are not my real father that I am glad about. But why take the life of my father then and not earlier?" I asked with a faint smile of relief.

"It takes a long time to convince a man of making a pact with a demon like me, especially if their wife is a Goddess. The best time to strike, is when they are most desperate. When I took your mother's life it surprised me that her head shattered like glass and cut out all sound, even the crackles of the roaring fire of the house." She said stretching.

She changed her smile slightly.

"That wasn't her skull that was my mental state creating the universes that you traveled. You are the only one that I did not kill when I felt you entering a universe. It soon became natural to me and I forgot about it." I said.

She started to untie her kimono slightly and adjusted the clothes to reveal a lot of cleavage.

"He's trying to use my loves body to seduce me… really?" I thought not phased at all at the sight.

Her smile still held as she drew closer to me.

"You can take advantage of her you know? She can't see or hear any of this; you can do what you please with her body. I'll even "leave" the body so you won't have to worry about any one hearing what's going on. Just do as I command and her body can be all yours." She said pressing her "melons" against my chest.

I could hear a faint click as if a door was being shut and turned to see that the door that I had broken down was back together and in its rightful closed position.

My attention was drawn back by the demon controlling my love before kissing me and taking off my hat and throwing it to the side.

She reached for my belt and undid it and removed it from my pants.

She got on her knees and reached for the pants.

I stopped her and said "You know that I am not some fool who will fall to the looks of a Goddess, even if she is my love."

She pulled her hands back and said "Really? Then why do you love her so much?"

"She was my mother, I loved my mother and she loved me. When I forgot all that happened that day my emotions for love were buried deep inside me; only to be uncovered by a universe that held a large part of my mother's love for me. In short I had a large head start on something that did and didn't start." I said.

The demon in Ammy moved her hands back to my pants before saying "Well if they both are someone you love then it's just double the fun!"

She unbuttoned my pants and unzipped them to see a terrifying display.

Parts of every living creature that the Gods and demons had created were hiding inside.

Hands, feet, claws, talons, tails, eyes, teeth, roots, fins, ears, fur, organs; they were just simple parts of forms that I could take on.

The demon controlling Ammy jumped back as I zipped my pants and buttoned it again as I put my belt back on with my fedora.

"I am going to ask you this once, get out of Amaterasu's body now." I said looking down on her.

The demon just did that same smile and said "Why should I? You and I are of equal strength now that have your blood running in this woman's body."

The demon showed even more cleavage and asked "Are you sure you don't want this? Kill me, and I'll escape your loves body before you deal the final blow to her. With the power that you wield you cannot bring back gods and demons from death. That is your ability; Buddhism does not apply to what god and demon you kill. The same thing now goes for me as well; if you die I will give you and your love the last few moments together before you go to the eternal grayness. But if you kill your love, then I will have weakened you greatly emotionally, mentally, and physically. So, what will you do?"

I was quiet for a moment.

The demon smiled and started to take off the kimono Ammy wore and said "I know that silence and expression, you don't want to admit it but I get it."

I smiled and snapped my finger and the kimono retied itself to Ammy's body.

"You think I am of the same level as you? I know that you can go into that form I go into. That was only at half power, full strength and I would be just more hideous with more parts. All out, and I won't even have a physical body." I said.

I snapped my finger and the body of Marshall Ryan disappeared and universe started to have black rips in it.

I saw the demon inside Ammy struggling to breathe and move as I stood perfectly fine. The constant growth of my power was slowing down.

"You're probably wondering what's going on and why you can't breathe or move. Well, just killed every mortal, God, and demon that existed in every universe in the blink of an eye. This is the same amount of chaos as when my brother and sister stop fighting for a very long time. Someone is duplicated from the large amount of buildup that they hold. It's hard to explain it if you haven't lived it or tried to prevent it. But killing everyone is a little bit easier than the other with my power know." I said walking back and forth.

"You see, I can now control EVERYTHING and ANYONE that both Gods and demons created. I just made them all commit suicide in short. The lack of good and evil makes every universe the same thing, bleak and dead. We aren't even in the universe we currently were in." I said ripping a bit of the wall and revealed the crossover that watched over every universe.

I grabbed Ammy's body and threw her into and her body landed on an invisible floor.

I stepped in before the entire universe behind me disintegrated into shreds.

"I too am feeling the effects that you are feeling, but I'm much more use to it and I am stronger. Since you, I, Ammy, brother and sister are the only ones that are still alive the goodness and evil in us are being forcedly put into the dead bodies of mortals, gods and demons." I said flipping Ammy's body onto her back.

"I have many things to say but I'll make this short. Ammy's soul is stronger than yours because she has my blood, you don't have a body and that makes you not able to tap into my/her powers. You may feel that power, but not use it. If you were to break away from Ammy's body you could slip under the grasp of every universe and live as a "too weak to absorb" soul, if you don't, you might die and I will be able to save Ammy." I said lighting a cigarette.

The demon in Ammy tried to say something before the body went limp.

He left the body and was absorbed.

I could hear his scream in my head fading away.

I snapped my finger and everything was back the way it was before the death of everyone.

Ammy had left her universe, even if it wasn't her I had to do it.

Give a beggar a million gold and he will notice that bread isn't the only thing for sale. She would remember this moment and feel the power that was reborn in every universe.

I pulled out my blade and saw that it had a little ring on the end of the hilt so I could put my finger through the ring and pull the sword out with greater ease than reaching for the handle.

"I'm just delaying myself, you shouldn't be either." I thought as I heard a faint sob and felt a drop of water on my hand.

I raised the blade over my head and struck Ammy.

I put the blade back and I closed Ammy's eyes.

I pulled some paper out of a drawer that was inside Ryan's desk and reached back for the katana which now was a pen.

I heard the changing weapon speak to me and smiled at what she said.

I wrote down what I needed and summoned the doors that I was so used to seeing.

I placed the pen back in the sheath as it changed back into a sword.

I stuck the paper onto the stone doors before open them to see the crossover once more.

I turned to look at Ammy; I walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead before walking passed the doors as they closed behind me.

I snapped my finger just once and to insure what I had done would not be in vein.

Hello everyone, this is not the end of the story. We have one more Chapter and then this story is over, I hope you have enjoyed it so far and don't forget to put a review down. I'll see you next week.
