Silver looked at the group, Jeff was a disappointment, he had such high hopes for this man only to be a letdown. He looks to the farthest building and smiles before giving a wink. Turning back to the group, the fool approached them with a flare of theatrics. His mind wondering what kind of ploy he should use next, but it only brought a question. What's Russell doing? There's no way he could've missed this.
Then he heard something breaking before looking up and saw someone falling towards him. Taking a step back, he pulls out an umbrella while the stranger made a mess. "Oof! That's gonna leave a mark." He said before looking up again and saw a crack in the air fading. So that's why... Well, he better hurry or else his friend might ruin the fun.
"Okay boys, I know I have all the time in the world, but I'm gonna have to leave. Don't worry, I know a few folks to keep you up." He then conjures a phone.
"Hello operator, I'd like to call..."
Russell looked for his first victim. This was a bad time. His clone is still finishing the upgrades of his weapons. War ax of the Sun was destructive and he might bring the building down. Not only that, but when he used it, he melted everything around him. Silver luckily placed him in a barrier in time. He had to place a limiter on the weapon and some way to release the power safely.
Though what did they call him again? Modder? Did that mean what it meant? If so, oh man this is going to be fun but first, baby steps. What should he use to kill the first ten stooges?
One went for a sneak attack and Russell dodges the blow before tripping him. The Beast grabs an ashtray and whacks him on the head, ending his life. Another tried to hit him, but he grabs the offending appendage and breaks it.
The enemy couldn't scream as Russell slams the makeshift weapon to his throat. Turning around, he throws it like a shuriken, hitting a couple of them until it pushed the last one out of the window.
"Why are they not getting back up? You used a resurrection skill."
"I don't know, he might have a debuff skill or some anti-Gamer weapon."
"How is an ashtray an anti-gamer!?"
Russell let out a smirk, Absolute Zero was a tricky skill to learn, it looked so simple, but the possibilities were endless.
As for how in the world a simple object can cause so much damage? He increased the damage output, but it seems it had a limit on how many changes he can make before the object breaks.
"I knew I should've made some tests with this." He muttered.
Two of them tried to hit him from both sides, but they're quickly dealt with. Another came from the front. But again Russell ends him by shoving a spoon through his ears. He could not stop an energy ball in time, blasted towards the restroom.
Ki attack that explains why he got blasted through the wall. It didn't take a minute until everyone used Ki based attacks or skills. Forced to conjure a magical wall, Russell needed a new weapon.
Looking around, he grins, grabbing two toothbrushes and broke it. Before turning the shield into a battering ram. Hey, it's still a defensive spell he just made the magical wall at a different angle.
Jack or as his new name Agni, the leader of squad A couldn't believe what was happening. His men were getting killed with everyday items. How do you even kill someone with a spoon or an ashtray!? Now he just watched their target deflect a magical sword with a toothbrush. A TOOTHBRUSH!
Who is he!? And why haven't they heard of this guy? Someone like him can't stay under the radar this long. However, Russell has a talent for staying under the radar, it's his luck that makes him stand out.
The worst thing is, Agni knew he wasn't taking them seriously. That's the only reason he's killing them with everyday items. That and the target is slowly learning what he can and can't do. If he ever lives through this, he's going to murder the idiot who gave the target the hint.
Russell discards his weapons before disarming his opponent and kills him. Taking out a pencil, he begins the massacre once more.
Sakura could only watch, despite the lack of murder in her point of view. She knew deep down her savior was a monster. A monster trapped with other monsters, a beast devouring its kind, even its flesh.
But he was her monster, her father, and her savior. Whatever he is, whatever he will become, she'll stay right beside him.
Russell threw away the broken pencil, its other half lodged deep into his ninetieth victim. One of them turned to Sakura and swung his weapon towards her. Russell quickly steps in and grabs the weapon before wrapping it around the owner's neck and pulled.
Blood erupted as Russell looks at Sakura. "You alright?" Earning a nod, he turned to the weapon. Bound to the user? No problem using Pandora and Observe to its fullest. He tore the weapon apart, made something new. He seethed in pain as the new weapon lodged into his skin before tattoos formed on his left arm.
Ahriman (Gold rank)
Description: Punish the wicked, punish the sinner, let them suffer for the transgressions. Spread Madness for the Dark God of Chaos is with you, but beware, lest he take hold and bring ruin onto you. Grants the user power over sand, Curses, and chaos energy.
Russell tested the new weapon and whips it around, killing everything around. Those who survived portions of their body became sand. The beast then raised his arm, and the sand spread into the entire room.
The leader had instinctively jumped along with what's left of his men. For those that didn't well, let's just say, it will scare Gaara that someone turned his Sand burial into something worse.
Skins torn, screams drowned by the sand, eyes begging for mercy or salvation, yet none will come. Forgotten and buried forever by the sands of time.
He quickly turns to those who survived and injured in a previous attack. His eyes glowed, and the Gamers felt something was taking over, changing them into something else. Surprise took Russell when they transformed into monsters and started attacking their group. He didn't see that one coming. He thought the curses would amplify their sins, like becoming too greedy, not turning into monsters based on their most prominent sin.
He shook his head, his mind then wanders off to the others, how were they doing. He must get out or put down this barrier.
Using Observe, he frowned on what he found. Each floor and room sealed away from the rest, making it difficult to escape. They either have to fight each wave or destroy all of them at the same time. Absolute Zero's longest-range was only five meters unless he's using long-range weaponry. Though he noted that his room was the only one isolated to a separate dimension.
The barriers aren't connected, thus his skill wouldn't cause a chain reaction even if he destroys this one and the next. Unless... he then placed his hand on the floor as an enhancement circle covered the room. The group noticed it and laughed. Taunting him, calling him an idiot for making their barrier stronger.
But Agni saw it differently. Something wasn't right here. Why is he making this barrier stronger instead of making it weaker? He then rushes in as he realized what Russell planned, but the target only smiled.
"Too late, fool."
{All weapon upgrades complete}
Karla and Blaire P.O.V.
Karla dodged another attack. "Hold still damn you!" One Gamer yelled before having his neck twisted. Karla turned around only to see another one coming from the right, but the best she can do now was blocking the blow.
By a stroke of luck, one of Blaire's pumpkin cannon struck her assailant. The succubus turns to her companion and saw fighting her battle.
Blaire was using her shape-shifting to its fullest. Constantly, switching from human to feline, making it difficult to strike her down.
However, Karla knew they were getting tired, and it's just a matter of time before they get overwhelmed. "How many?" Karla asked while looking at Blaire.
"About fifty..."
"No, I mean, how many are in here?"
"Oh, that? I don't know."
The two then looked around. The barrier was sturdy, and not even Blaire's strongest spell made a dent.
"Sorry babes, but can't let you help your boyfriend. Don't worry, we'll take good care-ugh!"
Blaire turned and saw Karla, who was pissed off. "Listen here, you little limp dicks. There's only one man who's gonna get this." Karla yelled. "And none of you are him." She then flips them off. Blaire flinched as a cat she can smell distinct pheromones and Karla was practically releasing so much it's hurting her nose.
Russell is going to need a stretcher once Karla goes eighteen.
To their surprise, the room started shaking, then the barrier started becoming stronger and stronger to the point it became visible because of too much power. Blaire noticed Russell's magic and wondered what his plan is.
Bright siblings and Beauty P.O.V.
Bright grunted as he felt a sword going through his heart. "Jack!" Tj yells in horror while watching his brother point his c, turning ten of their attacker into wet chunks. The young brother went to work heals his sibling.
Claire was embraced by Beauty. Bright stood up before looking at his younger brother, then to his sister and finally Beauty. This wasn't good none of them had any experience in combat, and the situation they were in was only getting worse.
His inventions were being destroyed, Dr. Bright clicked his tongue before something smashed its way into their room. Before they hear a whistle. The smoke cleared revealing Silver with his cane.
"Hey guys, what's up?" He asked.
"Uncle Silver!" The two youngest Bright yelled in joy. The fool gives a brief wink and turns to Jack. "You alright, Jackie?"
"Peachy..." He said.
The trickster nodded before turning to the group. "How did you get past the barrier?" One of them asked.
"You idiots left the backdoor open." Silver said, followed by a door closing. "Now then, I'll give little nitwits a chance. Walk away and I'll let you wanna bee's live or stay here and be my new entertainment."
The group turned to each other and then charged. Silver shakes his head. This is sad. Honestly, he felt terrible these guys have the power of infinite possibilities, but what do they do? Blindly charging in. Where did those good gamers go? Or maybe those two watching are the big bad and these guys are just mooks in comparison.
Silver calmly dodges the first two before tripping the third. He then ducks from a sword, swing the blade, then kills one of their allies. Another got luck and bound him by controlling his shadow. "Got him! Not so tough are you?"
Silver looks at his shadow before it moved on its own and conjured a scissor and cuts the bind.
"..."
"I've seen weirder," Bright said. This wasn't the weirdest thing his friend had done. Hell, Silver got to ride SCP 682 and even calls it Donkey. He also had a drink with Shy guy and debated with the doctor.
Silver cracks his neck, ready to start his fight again, but stops when he saw the circuits.
"Alright, kids." He twirls his can before stopping in a pose. "Who's up next?" He asked with an innocent smile while holding a deck of cards.
Servants and Illya P.O.V.
"Get them Bezerkar!" Illya yelled while riding her own SCP 682 dubbed Bezerkar. Said pet roared and decimated the group. Hercules shot his bow to anyone who got past Medusa and Ereshkigal while monitoring his master.
Medusa was using hit-and-run tactics while Ereshkigal set up a perimeter. When they came Heracles tried to get Illya out but to no avail. The barrier was sturdy that not even they could make a dent. It only wasted their strength, hence all they can do was stall until one of their allies can get them out.
Medusa hissed as she got nicked by a spear before dodging a couple of spikes and avoided some chains from binding her.
"Damn it!"
"Good luck on your next try, bro."
Medusa remained stoic but inside it pissed her, only Lousu could bind her but that man disappeared a long time ago, despite being eternal and tricking the Greek pantheon of her death, he never used it have his way with her. Unless the time he asked about her eyes.
Looking back, Russell shared a resemblance to the man. Was he a descendant of him? Or is he a distant relative? No, impossible, Lousu was as dense as a rock, not as in he can't see when women are interested more like his dead set on being single.
He even threw Aphrodite out of his home and tied her to a horse with the same net they used to tie Zeus once. He even berated Athena to the point the Goddess of wisdom shrunk, that was her favorite part of him. All because they nearly destroyed his project.
"What are you doing? Stop spacing out Rider." Ereshkigal yelled blocking a blade.
"Apologies." The gorgon said before killing one of her assailants, with a snap to their necks.
"Still, where are they coming from? There's no end." The Goddess of death muttered.
"It matters not, we have to hold the line until Caster (Silver) or Berserker (Russell) figures out a way to get us out," Hercules said, throwing a back fist to an enemy without looking.
"That's not gonna happen, they're too many. We can't use any of our stronger Noble Phantasm without risking the child."
Then they saw the circuits followed by the barrier becoming visible and form cracks.
Thirteenth and Eighth watched as the barrier began to change. "He overwrote the code and turned the barrier against them." Thirteenth said. "It's a waste of energy."
"While true, it's ingenious. The barriers are a hindrance but instead of destroying it, he made it into his own. It's stupid, but it worked. Now they have the advantage, No more backups, no more resurrections." Eighth said.
"Still the silver one just destroyed squad B by calling their crazy ex and he's already destroying Squad C with a deck of cards," Thirteenth said. "He saw us despite the barrier I placed. He's good, I didn't even know that he bypassed my defensive skill. We underestimated them."
Eighth merely glanced taking notes on what else their potential ally/enemies. The silver seemed to possess reality-warping based skill. The red is a modder with an anti-gamer skill and a talent to turn anything mundane into a dangerous weapon.
Everyone watched as the barrier changed followed by a stomp and Squad A being thrown towards Squad C. Turning to the source, there stood Russell with Sakura behind him, Blaire on his right, and Karla on his left, equipped with his weapons. The Emperor in armor mode under his Shroud of lost Riddled World, his Salazar ring glowing visibly through Ouroboros. In his right hand was the Sword of Rebellion and in his left War Ax of the Sun.
Russell was about to say something when he heard the message icon.
{Do you wish to assimilate Ahriman to the Rebellion?} (Y/N)
The sword then devoured the whip after pressing 'yes' transforming into something else. His Eternal Arms told him it was a whip-blade, but properties from the two weapons were combined or enhanced. Yeah, there's no way he's keeping this damn chain. Too many risks for his liking.
Omega
Description: Evil of Humanity, Hope of Humanity, Pride of Humanity has combined, bringing forth a powerful weapon. The end lies in thy hands, will it be destruction or creation? Grants Light and Dark properties, Sand and Time manipulation, and Freedom.
The last part was doubtful, but it could be Gods and Demons can't bind him. Turning to Silver, he gave his friend a brief nod. Silver grins and conjures a stereo followed by a couple of chairs. The stereo played to which the Gamers knew the name of the song. Devils never cry. "Take a seat guys, Russell has this."
Sakura glanced at her hero before going to Silver, while Karla and Blaire made sure she made it. Russell nodded to his team before calmly walking to the squad, his weapons ready. The squad leaders gave each other a nod and got ready.
They weren't ready however by the sudden army of monsters coming out of their shadows and the vents. Agni turns to the other leader and rushed to Russell. If this keeps up, then they'll lose more men, hopefully, they can end this fight and escape.
Russell then sprints off in blinding speed and bisects the squad C leader, Agni rushes in throws a few combinations with his conjured weapon.
Russell blocks the attacks before scoring a hit with the hammer side of his ax and follows up with his sword. His GPI kicks in and dodges an attack before throwing a tornado kick to his opponent. He blocks whip with his ax before grabbing his new gun; Colt, the immortal slayer. A double-barrelled pistol, a combination of his previous guns, Jackal and Warden.
With a smirk, he fires his gun and what came out were swords, not bullets, swords emitting holy and hellish aura. Now free, Russell fires a Ki Blast to another enemy before using his ax and to decimate the horde.
Agni took this chance to heal before rushing in and kicks Russell's chest. The beast blocked and countered while his opponent did the same, but Russell was only getting stronger and Agni was desperate in finishing this fight before it was too late.
Russell throws a few jab combos, and it impressed him. This guy, while its clear hand to hand was not his forte, to keep up with him was amazing. Summoning his Dungeon, the world around them changed.
Agni looked confused before hearing Russell's words. "Now I'm a little motivated." Followed by an intense heat. Turning around, he saw the sun in his enemy's palm. He tries to stop him, but it was too late.
"Supernova," Russell utters before he crushes the sun.
Everyone panicked except Silver, who just made portals around them, letting the shock-wave and flames pass through. Portals for the win!
Russell watched at the destruction he caused. Yeah, War Ax is Op as Ouroboros maybe he should lie off on the ax.
Thirteenth and Eighth P.O.V.
"Well, gotta admit that was awesome." Thirteenth said, then turns to his senior. "Well, is he the one?"
Eighth only smiled his eyes completely focused on the sword. He then makes a call to First. "Well, that was fast. What's the news?" First asked.
Eighth's smile became wider. "We found it."
And that's a wrap. To those who are curious about who Lousu is and his connection to all of this. Let's just say Lousu is indirectly responsible for Russell's Gamer.
