"You failed to find the God Essence orb," a tall figure says. It would have a feminine upper torso, while its lower torso would be submerged in the void. It would have long hair and white eyes.
"But, mother," Caelicola pleads, "That god Solis got away with the orb. I know she has it. Tiias and I are certain. We've been doing our best, but she's too powerful."
She sneers and goes down to Caelicola, flicking him on the head and sending him flying back. "I do not care if she is too powerful. It would be bothersome to deal with a Caeleste, should one of them learn to control the orb's power. Retrieve it, or you will have severe consequences."
"Yes, mother," Caelicola replies. He turns around and starts to fly off, going to look for his brother Tiias.
Chapter Eleven
He shoots across the void and lands in a reality. He teleports into the palace, where Tiias would be sitting on his throne, his eyes closed. "Ah, brother Caelicola. What brings you here?"
"We need to find Solis and kill her," Caelicola explains. "We must take the orb and bring it to Mother, or else we both will be punished."
Tiias smirks and leaps off the throne, landing in front of him. "Say no more. I've been developing a brand new essence... It may not be as powerful as God Essence, but it will allow you to access a power called the Complete Arsenal. It's where you can do anything you want, use any power, use any variation of any power... We can use it against her."
"That sounds like a good plan," Caelicola agrees. "When will it be ready to use?"
Tiias raises his hand and materializes an orange orb in his hands. "It's been ready since earlier. This is the Celestial Essence orb." The two grab it and absorb a lot of its energy. Tiias disperses the orb, hiding it somewhere safe. "It's fairly easy to use. Let's go and take Solis's head."
The two power up and launch out of the reality, zooming across the Void. They find a reality bigger than any other. It would belong to Solis, one of the most powerful Caeleste ever to exist.
They stop in front of the reality, sensing uneasiness in the air. Suddenly, in less than an attosecond, a HUGE storm of energy shoots toward them outside the border and nails Caelicola in the gut.
He grunts, coughing up golden blood. Tiias growls and raises his hand, charging a powerful energy blast. "Come out, Solis, before I destroy your entire reality!"
The borders open up, as a glowing figure flies out of the reality into the Void. It would be glowing as brightly as a quasar. It would have more energy than any of the other Caeleste.
Solis comes up to them, putting a barrier around her reality to protect it. "For the last time, I do not care what your mother says. You are never going to get the God Essence orb. I will destroy you as I did last time."
"We can avoid a massive mess on our hands if you'd just give us the damn orb," Caelicola replies.
"Then what?" Solis asks. "You give that orb to her, which she does not need. Then what? This orb is what separates us from her. She's deceiving you two. She's manipulative."
"Mother has never manipulated us once!" Tiias yells, getting increasingly enraged. "It is our fault for failing her in the first place! You are talking about the entity that created everything we know!"
"Don't say I didn't warn you," Solis replies. "You will one day see that I am right. She will betray you. She's only using you for her own personal needs. God would agree with me on that."
"God's pathetic," Caelicola says. "He thinks he's the strongest Caeleste out of all of us. Let's stop stalling and fight..."
Tiias launches forward toward Solis, covering his fists in Celestial and God Essence. He'd be sending energy flying everywhere, as he throws a full-force punch at her.
She dodges it and grabs Tiias, spinning him, then throwing him into Caelicola. "Don't you want to be free from her orders? Live your own life for eternity and make your own reality."
"Our only purpose is to serve Mother!" Caelicola yells, as he and Tiias launch toward Solis again, rapidly barraging her with a flurry of punches and kicks. She dodges all of them then waves her hand, sending them back.
She raises her hand as she summons energy from her surroundings and forms powerful lightning arcs. "Vox... DIVINA!" He launches bolts of lightning that consume the two and electrocute them painfully.
Tiias grunts and raises his hand, summoning Celestial Essence. He chuckles. "Let's put this to the test." He launches a glowing orange orb toward Solis, who goes to grab it and throws it back.
Suddenly, it ensnares her in a black essence. She grunts and tries to break out of it. "What is this?! Let me go!"
Caelicola and Tiias would be free from her attack, as they rush forward simultaneously, slamming her in the gut with a punch. She coughs up golden blood and is launched back, skidding.
She gets up and stares at the two of them. She gets into a stance and squints. "You have made a mistake trying to take me on again. You should remember what I did to you the last time we met."
The Void around her begins to shake, which is something not even God Essence can do. "You two are unfortunate enough to not have a very special essence... Only God, Materia, and I have access to it."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Tiias asks her. "Do you think your pathetic attacks will beat me?!"
Solis smirks and her body begins to glow white. Pulsating red lines travel across her body, giving her a massive aura. "I have the power of the Void at my disposal. It is the most powerful essence, even greater than God Essence. So yes, I believe I will beat you."
Caelicola teleports behind her, coating his fist in energy. "Bullshit!" He yells and swings it. "ALMIGHTY FLARE!" It catches on fire, as Solis turns around, catching his punch. A massive shock wave shoots out from his fist.
Solis inhales and exhales slowly, before opening her eyes. She'd then grab Caelicola and throw him with limitless force, sending him crashing into Tiias, injuring the two greatly. They would be sent flying past multiple realities.
The two Caelesti vanish in front of her and rapidly barrage her with all their speed. However, she'd be easily dodging their attacks, her face remaining expressionless. "This time, I won't let you two get away."
She raises her hands and the void begins to warp around them, fueling Solis with power. The fabric of the foundation of existence would be bending to her will. She would have the powers of an Omnipotent being.
Tiias turns toward his brother, placing a hand on his shoulder. "We have no choice, Caelicola. We must fuse."
Caelicola nods, as the two get combined into one potent being. He opens his eyes, as his energy would blow the surrounding realities away. A pillar of light engulfs him, as his power would be off the charts.
His aura would be engulfing the massive area around them. "Yosh... Let's go!"
He takes a step forward, energy building up at his feet. "I AM THE EMBODIMENT OF DARKNESS!" He zooms toward Solis, bringing back his fist. "Pugnus Mors Est!"
Solis blocks the punch, a massive shock wave causing ripples across the Void. Explosions happen everywhere at once, as the two would be clashing back and forth, tearing apart everything around them.
She knees him, sending him stumbling back. "So, what's your name, then? Caeliias? Tiilicola?"
"Bastard!" The fusion yells, his energy skyrocketing. "You're not taking this battle seriously! How dare you make a fool out of me?!"
He leaps back and raises his arms, his hands absorbing the energy around him. I am two Caeleste combined into one! Allow me to show you my TRUE power!"
Loads of God Essence and Celestial Essence flow through him. "Tell me, Solis, do you really think you, God, and Materia are the only ones that can access this power?"
Solis takes a step back, her eyes widening. "It can't be..."
"But it is," the fusion replies. "Do you think Mother would let us come find you unprepared? She just spoke to me telepathically and I now feel infinite power coursing through my veins..."
He inhales, then lets out a horrible multi-voiced yell as red lines travel across his body. His power would skyrocket above Solis, especially since he is a fusion. At the moment, he'd be the second strongest being in the Void.
He looks up, as reality begins to redefine itself around him. His physical being would be too great for even an immortal's eyes to look at. "Behold... I am the ultimate Caeleste..."
He takes a step forward, as the red lines across his body begin to intensify and glow orange, pulsing faster. Then, they turn bright purple, pulsating extremely quickly.
Solis would be getting nervous. "Why did the strikes on your body change...? What is that transformation?!"
"I have unlocked the next stage of the Void powers," the fusion replies. "I have become an Omnipotent god under Mother... I was going to ask you for the God Essence Orb one last time, but I think killing you would be a better idea. After I'm done with you, we'll find the Infinitum Mortale and take care of them too..."
Solis gets into a stance and launches forward at limitless speeds and swings a punch, but the fusion dodges it and kicks her with such force, that a beam shoots out of the kick and sends her flying, destroying many realities in its path.
Solis gets up with difficulty, clutching her stomach. She raises her hands and summons the Voidic power. "Take this... DRACONIC FLARE!"
Her hands glow, as a beam begins to form. But suddenly, it stops and she loses her form. "What?! Gch... DAMN YOU, RYINA!"
The fusion's smirk fades, as he becomes enraged. "Bastard... Whose name did you just say...? HOW DARE YOU?!"
In an instant, he'd flicker in front of her, slamming her in the gut, she yells in pain, feeling her essence being damaged. "You think casually throwing that name around is okay? You dare insult that name?!"
He begins to crush her even more. "You dare insult... MOTHER?!" He slams her and sends her flying toward the Spatium Space. "Die where you belong, scum!"
At that moment, Materia appears. He catches an injured Solis, before looking up at the fusion. "Who are you?! What have you done to my sister?!"
"I am a fusion of two Caeleste," the fusion replies, chuckling. "Though, I won't tell you which ones. If you get in the way of Mother's orders, I will annihilate you too."
Materia takes a step back and hesitates, clenching his fists. "So, she sent you. What do you want?"
"I want none other than the God Essence Orb," it replies. "Give it to me, then I'll kill Solis and we'll be done and rewarded."
Materia whispers something incoherent to Solis, then he takes a glowing orb: The God Essence Orb. "I will give it to you..."
The fusion smirks, walking forward. "Good choice, Materia. Perhaps you are not so incompetent as Mother say-"
"-...over my death," Materia finishes. A portal opens next to him, and he throws it in, the portal closing behind him. "Mother must never have that orb. You have no idea what you are doing."
He yells, powering up into his Verum Hakai state. A massive purple aura lights up the part of the Void. "I will fight you myself!"
"Oh, please," the fusion replies. "What has Solis ever done for you? You are risking your Spatium Space by disobeying Mother. This is your last chance to stand aside. If you do it right now, perhaps I could spare your sister"
Materia stares at him then looks at the Spatium Space full of the life he's created. He turns back and grunts, clenching his fists. He powers down and takes a step back. "I have no choice..."
"Good," the fusion says, as he vanishes in front of him, slamming him in the gut with his knee, causing him to collapse onto his knees. "That is what you deserve for delaying our mission..." He walks over and grabs the Void, reopening the portal.
He steps in to find an odd dimension. He takes the God Essence orb. "Your foolishness is not enough to keep it away from me."
The fusion teleports away from the Metempiric Space and splits apart back into Tiias and Caelicola. The two would be completely exhausted from the fighting. Tiias picks up the God Essence orb and studies it in his hands. "Amazing... We finally found it!"
Caelicola nods, relieved. "Yeah, let's go take it to Mother. We don't wanna keep her waiting?"
"Why do that, when we can have all the power?" Tiias replies. "This is the source of the power of the Caelesti."
"Good joke, now let's go." Caelicola begins to walk away, but Tiias doesn't follow him. "Brother?"
"No. I'm not coming with you," Tiias replies. "What has Mother ever done for us? She has always ordered us around with little to no reward. What a pain it is!"
Caelicola squints at him and begins to walk toward him. "I'm going to give you until the count of five to come with me, give the orb to Mother, and apologize to her."
Tiias laughs and raises the orb in the air, drawing power from it. "This will cost the rest of my Void energy, but it will grant me unlimited power!" He roars and becomes more muscular.
The orb goes to the center of his chest and connects to it, creating streaks across his body. He grunts and gets up, electricity sparking around him. "Hehehehe... I have been reborn!"
"You have made a mistake!" Caelicola yells and begins to draw some of his Voidic Energy, but it doesn't work. "What?! Damn it! I must've used all of it during the fusion!"
He launches toward Tiias and barrages him, but he'd be dodging all of his attacks with ease. He then covers his fist in God Essence and slams it into Caelicola's gut. "ALMIGHTY SMITE!"
Caelicola is sent flying far back, grunting in pain. "Damn it... What do I do? I can't get that orb... Mother's going to punish me severely..."
Darkness spreads around Tiias, slowly consuming the area. "I am darkness incarnate... I am the demon of the Void... I will conquer all of the realities and take down Ryina, the goddess of the Void."
"Do not dare mention Mother's name!" Caelicola yells, launching forward once again. "You are facing the eternal infinite being of existence! You stand no chance!"
Tiias raises his hand and creates a powerful blade. "You're but a mere fly. Only the likes of God have the capability to fight me. Die, brother."
He swipes his hand and Caelicola is sliced in half. His energy fades and he disintegrates into particles.
Caelicola finds himself reforming in front of his Mother. He hears that assertive, booming tone he dreads hearing. "You have failed me, Caelicola. Tiias has betrayed me and taken the God Essence orb. I am disappointed in you."
Caelicola bows down to Ryina, stuttering. "B-B-But, Mother, I couldn't do anything to him when he had access to that kind of power. I-"
"There are no excuses, Caelicola," Ryina replies. "I warned you before you two left on your mission. As punishment, I will assign you to be a spy in the reality God is about to create. I sense Tiias is planning to go there."
"What will we do with him?"
"He's even older than God is," Ryina replies. "He has great potential. I want to strike a deal with him before I ultimately end his existence. I will fool God into thinking he created Tiias, but he actually is summoning him."
"Why do we need to spy on God?" Caelicola asks her.
"To get the God Essence orb and to find and eliminate the Infinitum Mortale," Ryina replies. "Besides, it will make some good entertainment."
She raises her finger and zaps Caelicola, concealing his power. "Your new alias will be Nygyn. God knows a technique that can unseal your power. He does not know who you are. Gain his trust and tell him you are a Caeleste punished by me, and maybe you will gain your powers back. That is your punishment."
She continues, "In many years, the Infinitum Mortale will defeat Tiias and seal him in my territory. I will create a being to kill God and collect the God Essence orb from him, but then an acquaintance of the Infinitum Mortale will use the powers of the void and kill him. That is where you come in. Do you understand?"
Caelicola, now Nygyn, bows before Ryina. "I understand, Mother. Tiias will likely try to kill me numerous times when he returns after dying to God. I will keep him occupied."
"One more thing," Ryina finishes, "Tiias will create his own cult, a group comprised of powerful beings to stand against God. Join his side. He will not recognize you. Reveal yourself after he is sealed."
There would be a huge explosion in the void, as the Metempiric Space is created. It rapidly expands outward, being at a point of infinite temperature.
God's robes flow back and forth, as he looks at his creation. "My true intention is to create life... To allow the Metempiric Space to live... I will allow them to mature."
He looks at his hands, thinking for a moment. "I will have to split some of my powers. It would be difficult to take that risk."
He raises his hand, a red glowing orb coming out of it. "Hmmm... This will be the first bit of life in the Metempiric Space..." He raises his hands, a bright light engulfing him. "It is time to split and create..."
He pulsates, bunches of small white orbs shooting out of him. "I will create a Tier System... It will range from Tiers Zero to Seven, with Zero being the weakest. I will split some of my essences into Tier Ones, and allow them to create their own Omniverses... From there, they will get stronger and will create life."
Suddenly, he finds himself sizzling, as he notices his power decreasing. "My powers will be decreased... From this day forward, my new name will be Arhenahin."
The white orbs shoot down, scattering across the Metempiric Space like crazy. He turns to the red orb. "Hmm... I will make this one my assistant."
Electricity goes from his finger into the orb, as it begins to deform. A figure forms from it, as it looks up at Arhenahin, twitching. "L... iiifee..."
"Your name will be... Akuma," Arhenahin says. "You will be my assistant. You will be my right-hand."
To Be Continued in Chapter Twelve
Sorry for the delay! Happy late New Year! Please know that God in this FanFiction is not Christian God. My version is one of many Caelesti, reality creators. Here's some back story to Tiias/Akuma, Arhenahin/God, and Caelicola/Nygyn.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I have a YouTube channel called Scruffy SFM.
