Chapter 2: Levin, the King of Gods


The strange black creatures popped out of the ground likes weeds surrounding Chris instantly, the boy in black called Levin looking at the scene with interest.

The creatures had a strange body yet were humanoid in a way. Their short bodies were in the shape of an hourglass, the bottom part of their body was like a trim with silver lines following it, the top part carving in exposing they had no neck. A black sphere head with two yellow eyes and a jagged grinning smile, with a headtail in a zigzag pattern with a zipper at the end, their heads playfully bouncing off their bodies, having no neck to attach the two as they move independently from each other.

They barely had any legs as their big feet were only shown from the body, the tip of their foot with a little whisker-like antenna sticking out into a curl. Their arms start off little and then expanded into a bigger size like arm guards with silver lines on it as well and four clawed fingers. On the center of their body was a symbol, T-shape bent signs on the side of a human-like sign with a head and body with two little slitted lines under the T-shape signs.

Not only where there humanoid black creatures but wolf-like ones with a human-like face and unruly spiky aura as hair and a long aura-like tail with a clawed hand at the tip of it. The same symbol was on their chest as well, but smaller.

Several questions came into Chris's head, but started with the one that bugged him the most.

"King of… Gods?" Chris spoke, taking in the words that Levin said. "What do you mean by that?"

The strange boy in black scoffed. "It means, what it means. I am a god, one who rules over all other gods in the world! The rightful heir and all lesser gods will obey me."

"I see…" Chris said unsure. "Well since you've introduced yourself my name is Christopher…"

"Save it," said Levin shushing his hand to cut Chris off. "I can care less about your name; you're nothing more than dirt to me like all the rest, actually even more so since you're a practicar of Ki."

Well so much for being polite… Chris thought with scowl.

"OK then, what are those strange black creatures? Where did they come from?" inquired Chris looking cautiously at the black creatures surrounding him.

"Tsk… I suppose I can tell you… since you gave birth to them," said Levin with the same high and mighty attitude.

Chris widens his eyes. "Wha… What are you talking about! I gave birth to these things!"

"Well I suppose that was a little vague… these creatures are called 'ECHOES'," stated Levin matter-of-factly. "They are creatures of darkness born from the positive and negative emotions of all humanity, whether it be human, youkai, demon, or the like, they are born from every living sentient being as well as light and darkness's shadow. Hahaha… yes, they are born from gods as well. They are a collaborating of everyone's emotions, having their abilities plus their ECHO abilities… such chaotic misguided creatures, not knowing their full potentials, mindlessly pulling pranks."

Chris began to understand what he meant know. So ECHOES are monsters born from everything sentient regardless of species, but he doesn't understand how this Levin guy is controlling them and another thing…

"OK, I understand you're a god and these creatures called ECHO come from, but what's this Gensokyo place you're talking about and what do you plan to do there?" asked Chris entering into a defensive position. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like the answer.

Levin started to laugh before eyeing Chris with a very crazed and malevolent look on his face. "Gensokyo is the land of fantasy, hidden from the outside world however there's a slight problem in this situation…"

Chris raised his eyebrow. "And that would be?"

"This isn't the outside world of Gensokyo… where we are right now is a parallel world of sorts to Gensokyo and its outside world, but the beauty of it is that this world can easily access Gensokyo by creating a gateway on a holy ground like the abandon shrine up ahead," the dark god stated with an evil smile.

"And the best part is that no one would know if someone enters that world unless they saw the portal! Gensokyo is a place where humans and youkais and many other fantasy creatures with almighty power live, a place where the outside world cannot touch unless the one who controls the gaps there allows them!"

"A land of fantasy?" Chris was curious now, he wouldn't mind seeing that place.

"Yes, a place where I'll rule over and all life forms obey me!" shouted Levin with glee.

"I understand, but…" Chris said now getting his swords ready. "There are powerful beings living there right? Possibly other gods too, how are you going to take control of it especially with the one in charge there?"

"Fuhahaha! I'm well prepared for that! I know about the youkai who controls the boundaries and how to deal with her! It can easily take down that lazy shrine maiden, those weak Onis, pathetic vampires, the worthless maid, useless magicians, unworthy flower-loving youkai, the hag of a judge, washed-out gods, idiotic immortals, and all the others without sweat! I know all they're weakness and know how to take them down!" shouted as Levin as he extends hand out.

"So you want to take over the world, huh? Pretty cliché for a god!" said Chris drawing out his swords, but instead of the tradition grip he was holding his swords in a reverse grip.

"Rule the world? You think that's what I want? You're sorely mistaken you worthless trash! No… what I want is to punish the world for all eternal," said Levin with a dark and cold look in his eyes with a voice to match.

"Punish?"

"That's right… humans are caused nothing but trouble, and not just them! We gods have to suffer through with the fault of man as they taint the world! Causing meaningless war and argument, it sickens me. That's why, I'm going to Gensokyo to make it my domain so no one can touch me as I erase their emotions, their memories and slowly torture them by making them go through endless pain and then I'll heal their pain for the moment and punish them again! For all eternal, never aging, never changing, never to be free," said Levin as he turns towards the shrine.

"Why! Why are you going to do this! Not everyone's at fault and I'm not going to let you hurt the people of Gensokyo!" Chris angrily glared at the dark god.

The dark god scoffed. "Why do you care? You don't know anyone there, plus there's youkai there that eat human. You're really going to protect monsters like thos?"

"Shut up!" Chris was easily enraged, which amused Levin. "It's not right to judge someone, to look down on someone, different from you! Sure, they probably do eat humans but that doesn't mean ALL of them are bad! Nobody can pick the parents they want, how they're going to be brought into the world, how they look, nothing like that!"

Chris stared into the ground with a hard pain look. "No one should do through that, I don't care if I'm called naïve, childish, or weak. I refuse to accept that!"

"Hahaha… I must've of hit a nerve," said Levin looking back at the black-haired boy. "Tell me… did people ostracize you in your youth?"

Chris glared at the dark god even more as he tightens his grip on his twin swords.

"Hahaha! I hate to admit it, you're an interesting human… but that's it. Just a human. I'll let the ECHOES play with you for a bit as I start creating the pathway to Gensokyo," Levin snapped his fingers and plainly said, "ECHO Vocals! ECHO Howl! Kill him."

The dark god walked away as the swarm of black creatures rushed at Chris. The humanoid one, known as the Vocals, shifted their bodies forward and launched their heads at Chris while others dashed in to claw at him. The wolf-like ECHOES, the Howl, dived inside their own shadow and the shadow itself surfed over to Chris's location.

This is a problem…! Chris thought as he readies himself for the assault.

Chris launched a roundhouse kick at blindly speed at one of the ECHO Vocals' head and shot it back to its owner. Immediately after he performed his Vanish Dash, high-speed teleportation, and warped behind one of the ECHO Vocals and slashed it with an underhanded upward slash and hurled its body into the air.

Out from the shadows a couple of ECHO Howl popped out from their dive and lunged at Chris as Chris changed the grip on one of his swords to traditional grip and spun himself like a saw and hacked up the Howls as they drew closer.

Chris stopped after a few seconds, feeling slightly dizzy, as an ECHO Vocals slugged him in the face making him grind against the ground with his back. He got back up and rubbed the cheek where he was hit and ready himself once again.

The ECHO crept closer to him, all of them saying the same thing over and over again.

"Echo echo echo echo echo…" like a chant the ECHO keep saying the same word over again and opened their mouths.

"WALL OF SOUND!" they shrieked as a large screech screamed into the air.

It was a sound-based attack that Chris couldn't avoid as his ears felt a burning pain seething through them. Chris clenched his ears with his hands, hoping to reduce the sound.

OK… so they can speak… and I can't see now… Chris mentally said as his vision was totally blurry.

A kick suddenly nailed him in the chin and as sent flying into the ground once more. The ECHOES laughed at Chris, seeing as they got him where they want him.

Chris rubbed his chin as he got back up. He wasn't expecting them to use a sound-based like that and his vision was still blurry, he had to do something quick or else the ECHOES were going to really kill him!

The black-haired boy closed his eyes and focus. One of the ECHOES was wondering what he was doing, but proceeded to attack him and as the ECHO Vocals was about to sent a roundhouse kick to Chris's head the black-haired youth vanished.

The ECHO didn't had time to react as Chris appeared behind him, with his eyes still closed, and starting slashing at the black creature with his reverse grip style and jumped onto its head and jumped right off.

"Fire Style: Fireball!"

Chris shouted as he spat out a huge flame ball onto the ECHO disintegrating it to ashes, noting that the ECHO's body disappear as partials upon destruction. Suddenly a pair of hands grabbed Chris by the legs surprising him as two ECHO Vocals pulled half of his body into the shadow like a hole.

"Ouch! Quite biting me!" shouted Chris angrily as he tries to shake out the two ECHO who dug their fangs onto his legs. Chris sent out a pair of Ki blasts from his hands to propel himself out of the ground along with the ECHOES and perform his Wind Style: Air Slash attack on them destroying them in the process.

Chris winced. He knew that life is precious and he shouldn't take a life away, but these ECHOES are creatures of pure energy so they technically were no living beings. But he still felt bad destroying as he can't bring himself to really hurting them but tries to reassure himself.

Several ECHO Vocals shot Ki beams from their mouths as all the ECHO Howl charged up their clawed hands and feet and sprinted at Chris.

The blasts were huge! High-level attacks at best, if they miss and hit the city it would be devastate! He had to stop the attacks!

"Chaos…" Chris chanted as he brought his hands together as he pulled back and lunged forward. "BEAM!"

His signature red and black beam streams through the air and it pushes back the energy beams from the ECHOES. However instead of pushing the beams back and destroying the ECHOES in the process, the beams collided into a stalemate until the beams self-destruct.

The shockwave was enough to blow back some trees, but still rooted to the ground, and knock back both Chris and the ECHO Vocals as several ECHO Howl crept closer to Chris.

Quickly he performed a hand sign.

"Water Style: Twin Water Dragon!" a pair of twin dragons of water erupted from the ground and drowned the ECHOES and Chris performed a follow-up move.

"Thunder Style: Lightning Ripple!" electrifying his hands Chris jabbed both of them into the water dragons and the electric charged dragons distorted into a more monstrous form fusion the two styles into a new attack.

The electric twin water monster swallowed up the other ECHOES, leaving only two left.

Chris looked at his hands and chuckled to himself. "Style Fusion? Well what do you know! I learn something new!"

However the small celebration of learning a new skill was shorted lived as Chris felled to his knees. "OK, it takes up a lot more Ki to fuse styles. Duly noted, that was a bit nauseating."

He picked himself back up and raised his hand in front of front in a vertical pose with his index and middle finger sticking up as the other fingers folded. A small translucent red aura covered his entire body and started breathing easily now.

Both of the ECHO Vocals looked at each other and scratched their head, puzzled.

Chris gave a cocky grinned and looked at the ECHO and threw his blades at them.

"BLADE BOOMERANG!" he shouted as the blades spun like saw in the air moving in a circular arc as they drew closer to the ECHOES.

They were prepared to knock them away however Chris warped in front of them as he continuously kicked one of the with a impressive feat of an endless blur of kicks in a matter of seconds, looking like he's sending hundred kicks per seconds.

He swapped his target and elbowed the other ECHO in its body and jabbed his fingers at its chest, arm, and sides with an electrified blue aura around his hands and then jumped into the air grabbing the lower blade with his hand and the upped blade with his foot by putting it in between the handles. It was like having his foot strapped in.

Using his foot, and in quick response, brought the blade slashing downward onto the unfortunate ECHO hacking its body half and landing with his free hand and spun himself around to slash with the blade in his other hand and cut the other ECHO in half.

Chris landing on his butt after that, breathing heavily as all of the ECHO were gone and finally fell on his back.

"Oh boy… I never fought any battles like that! I need better Ki control! I burned off my then I had, and my Ki Recharge isn't fast enough in battle if the enemy sees me perform it and attack me on the spot," said Chris sitting back up pondering.

He admits he has great skills, but it's not too impressive. Of all the time he fought against his teacher and guardian, Vincent, he always lost the sparring match despite his best efforts. Vincent mention how hard it is to master all the element of Ki and how it makes the user actually weaker than the others as majoring in one field makes them a lot stronger despite the weakness of an opposing element.

For a Ki User to use all elemental it requires the understanding of all element structure and it took years and years to fully master. Vincent mention how Chris is the first Ki User in a long time to use multiple elements, and he learned at least one art from all of them within 10 years a remarkable feat, but even if he learned all of them or fully maximized all his element powers he would still be weaker than one Ki User majoring in one field.

In order to use element Ki to its fullest potential and power the body must familiarize itself with the element to draw it out, repeating using the same element over and over again. Because Chris uses different element all the time his body familiarize itself to share the elemental however this is a problem.

For example the entire body that is expose to Fire Style element Ki uses 100% of the entire body's Ki that has familiarize itself with it and use it to maximize their Fire Ki. Since Chris's body uses all eight elements his body uses 12.5% of his overall Ki since he's sharing his Ki among them and his elemental Ki for that element will always be at 12.5% strong as oppose to using the entire body's 100% for only one element Ki only.

This is a rule that Chris has forgotten some time ago, and though using the Ki to circulate throughout his entire body to enchant his overall abilities to superhuman level and has familiarize itself to make Chris natural strong over time he is still weak with Ki manipulation. He's good, but he's not the best.

Getting back up, Chris begins to formulate how to deal with Levin who is a god and a lot more stronger than he is. Surely there must be a peaceful solution to this problem, even though Chris lost his temper earlier.

Suddenly Chris turned around to see his two best friends staring at him.

"Chris? Are you OK, what were those black things dude!" said Alvin pointed where Chris finished off the last two monsters.

Chris sighed. He wished they didn't follow him, this was dangerous and having them here would make him more nervous and scared for their safety. He explained to them what has happen so far with Levin, the ECHOES, and this Gensokyo place.

"That's a lot of information to digest, but truth is stranger than fiction sometimes," said Raine rubbing the side of her head.

"So what are you going to do Chris? Not you're going to follow that guy are you?" asked Alvin with a worried expression.

Chris turned his back. "I have to, someone's has to stop him and there's no time to call for Vincent. I got to do something!"

Alvin jumped back surprised, but looked at Chris seriously with an angry glare. "You can't be serious Chris! The guy's a REAL LIVING god! You can't beat a god, at least let me…"

"NO! I'm doing this alone! So guys, please go back. I'll handle this alone," said Chris with a serious tune, and without even turning his back.

"Are you suicidal! He'll kill you if you fight him alone! You do know I was the one who taught you the different martial arts out there, and you only mixed the parts of them together for your own style! As your friend and master I will allow…," Raine yelled out Chris, she was not letting her childhood friend do this to himself.

"I know I haven't truly mastered the different martial art styles out there but is there another option?" Chris asked, almost in a pleading way.

Raine choked. He wasn't going to budge from his position and he did raise a solid point, but she didn't like it.

"I'll try to talk to him this time, reason with him. But if the worst case scenario happens, I'll be ready," said Chris coldly as starting to walk away.

"Why must you be so damn stubborn! Why won't you let us help you! I can distract him if you have to fight him and…" Alvin complained he didn't want to leave his best friend side. He was like a brother to him.

This time Chris turned around and looked at them with a melancholy look as he glanced away. "Because I don't want to see you guys get hurt trying to help me, so leave it to me OK? I know I can stand up to him and there's the chance I can reason with him, besides I can't let those people in Gensokyo get hurt because I didn't want to stop him!"

"Why Chris? Why do you always burden yourself like this? Even as kids you never asked for people to help and you shoulder all the work on you, keeping all the pain to yourself! We're your friends, so please let us help you! Stop believing you don't need help when you actually need it!" screamed Raine becoming more and more angry with Chris.

Chris sighed. "I don't know what I'll do if I lost you guys too, you're my closest friends. My family, that's why."

He started to walk away leaving his dishearten friends behind.

"Christopher Trevas Corona!" both of them shouted.

"I'm sorry guys, but I have to do this," he whisper into the winds in a sad tone and left them behind.

Alvin gritted his teeth as Chris left a dust of debris in his awake as he dashed away. "Damn you Chris! Why must you be stubborn like this at times like this! You're not alone you know!"

"Where are you going?" asked Raine with a curious brow as Alvin walks ahead of her.

"Going after my best friend! He's not the only one who's damn stubborn!"

Raine smirked and dotted by him. "You're not the only one! Let's help the idiot out, alright?"

"Yeah!" agreed Alvin as the both of them followed after Chris.


Levin finally arrived at the abandon shrine, the shrine was dusty but hardly too old, and the roof with broken tiles with the wood rotting slightly, ancient lamps at the entrance, a worn out red gate, the entire place looked like a mini-temple of sorts. A perfect place to create the gateway, and started to create a green-like vortex in the air illuminating an eerie purple glow all around the abandon shrine as the night sky faded into a purple light as it got closer to the shrine.

"Fuhaha, it won't be long now. Just a few more minutes," Levin said to himself knowingly.

The sound of footsteps grew louder and closer to where Levin, and drop his cheeky attitude and grimace like someone told him a bad joke and turned around to meet the black-haired boy again.

"Well you're persistent, but then again all humans are worthless maggots," stated Levin uninterested.

Chris stepped forward and looked at the dark god seriously. "Do you really want to punish everyone? Can't you do something else to make everyone repent for their sin?"

Levin snarled at him with amusement. "Don't make me laugh! What's the point? Even if they're not responsible for their ancestors' fault that doesn't mean they won't make the same mistake like they did. Everyone's the same; no matter how much generations have passed everyone acts the same or worse. But I did expect you to arrive, but not so soon."

"What do you mean? Did you not have faith in your ECHOES?" Chris raised his eyebrow.

"Even though those ECHOES were low-level, their powers rivaled that of high-level youkai," said Levin watching Chris's expression change to curiosity, "Though they could've killed you, they were just playing. Honestly they're hardly kill anything as they enjoy teasing and pranking people."

"Wait? So you mean that they were going easy on me?" asked Chris beginning to sweat a little.

"Yes, they're chaotic playfully teasing creatures unless you provoke them," mused Levin looking pleased with himself.

OK… I made a miscalculation with my situation… Chris nervously chuckled.

Despite Chris capable of sensing other life forms with his Ki Sense, he couldn't properly gauge their strength just yet.

"Well that explains why they were easy to beat, but enough about that! What do humans do to ensure your wrath? Isn't there another way? Punishing them like that won't change a thing… you have to tell to people and…" Chris began talking however Levin raised his hand to silence.

"You're pretty damn naïve and foolish aren't you? Won't change a thing?" the dark god gritted his teeth on the last part. "You people talk about 'changing' like it's easy and when something doesn't go their way they blame on others, even gods! After everything we did for them in the past, they shunned us. By causing eternally pain for everyone, they finally grow up and learn their faulty nature but it will be too late. I will enjoy torturing everyone forever!"

"But aren't you doing the same thing! Don't act so selfish and stupid about this! Listen to reason, think of another solution and if there isn't one we can make one! I'll offer my some help, but only if you agree to stop with this torturing business," glared Chris, trying his best to reason with him. Problem was Chris had a difficult time reasoning with these kinds of guys.

"Ha, you really are naïve and stupid. What about you aren't you being selfish and stupid right now as well?" queried Levin with a proud tone.

Chris looked away ashamed. That's true… I'm being stupid and a hypocrite right now, but…

"I won't say what I'm doing isn't the smartest thing, but it's the right thing. Just please listen!" pleaded Chris.

"I had enough of this, I could use some entertain now that you're here," said Levin as strange marking appeared behind him. Like someone tattoo the sky with the six translucent golden circles with ripple-like patterns as golden lines move alongside the circles in an outward direction, a golden arc etching behind the dark god like light and darkness fused together illuminating him from behind.

"I'll give you a taste of my power, this here is my 'Myriad of Gods' a special vault where I keep my gods stored," he explained.

"Wait? You store gods?" Chris asked curiously as he raised his eyebrow.

"That is correct, I have collected over 1000 gods and stored them in here and I'm capable of using at least 100 gods within my body and using their powers at the same time!" the dark god said extending his arms out like welcoming someone as the marking grew and etched the air causing ripples. "Izanagi! Izanami! Come forth!"

From the strange marking in the air a vast amount of small particles of light emerged from the circles and started forming two distinctive figures.

A very tall figure that was about twice the size of any large man, black hair combed back and his face covered with a white with downward lines in an arrow formation etched from top to bottom and a large trend of silver hair or fur extended over his head. He wore a very unusual trench coat with its collar sticking up, a sophisticated collar white shirt, a long red tie extending to the waist, black gloves, a pair of long black fancy pants, and futuristic-looking high-heel like boots and a large black halberd that had a digitally appearance with a sword blade sticking out from the tip in his right hand.

On the opposite side a female figure stood. She wore a sarashi, white bandages, around her busty chest, large poofy hair like a big ball of hair except untidy and unruly, a similar mask as her male counterpart, a tore left sleeve Japanese jacket, black armlets wore by samurais, a shoulder guard on her right, and bright red hakama pant with her own halberd with a blade except the rod was white instead of black like Izanagi's.

Noticing the two gods before him Chris noted that both of them contrast with one another. Izanagi represented the future with his clothing and darkness with his halberd and Izanami represented the past with her traditional Japanese clothing and light with her halberd.

"Izanagi… and Izanami? They don't look like anything from what the legends told about them," said Chris staring at the two gods before him with wonder and a bit of excitement.

"That is correct; they are the original gods themselves. I have search far and wide for all of the gods in my special vault, restoring them and giving them alternate looks to my liking," said Levin proudly. "And they obey me as my 'Myriad of Gods' allows me complete and totally control over all gods, but I do let them have their personalities intact for my amusement."

"Total control? Then what about the ECHOES, do you have total control over them too? Since ECHOES are born from the positive and negative emotions of all sentient life forms…," Chris question putting the pieces together.

"You're quick in your mind as well as your feet. Indeed, since ECHOES have a mixture of a few gods' emotions they are part god and so I can command them easily without my special vault and I have an endless supply of ECHOES!" perched Levin looking smug believing no one can touch him.

"Endless supply?" Chris raised his brow.

"That is correct, ECHOES are universal creatures, in other words ECHOES exist in all dimensions and alternate universe however it would take about another 2000 years for this world to have the ECHOES start appearing on their own as a few other worlds have ECHOES already and many other without them yet," explained Levin.

"All I have to do is stir up the energy spikes in the world more and they start forming. They are the perfect army for me, as they are non-living energy beings and are not afraid to die! The fight you had earlier with them shows me you underestimate them is a good thing for me as the residents of Gensokyo won't know what hit them," snickered Levin.

Chris was beginning to hate this guy and forget about changing his ways for a moment. "You saw all that from here? Do the ECHOES send you telepathic memories?"

"Yes, they transmit what they see and hear to me so I can gather as much info as possible but I never used them to spy on Gensokyo. It's been about 3000 years since I last saw and fought a Ki User who used multiple elements like you before, however you don't hold a candle stick to that guy," said Levin eyeing Chris with great disappointment.

"You can only use 12.5% of your overall Ki to max out just one of the element as it shares the rest with the others. And to tell you the truth, the one I fought could use 100% of all the elements without sweat!" grinned Levin.

Chris perked his brow up. Someone else had fully master Ki Control and manage to get 100% of all 8 elements within one's own body?

"Though it did take him 50 years or so to accomplish such a feat, but in the end I killed him. I dare say I don't remember what the person looked like or his name, but I do remember he was a Ki User and his elemental master was second to none but that's it. I despise human and loathe Ki Users even more, they who could accomplish impressive feat like a god pretending to be one!" Levin glared back at Chris, startling him. "That's why you're such an eye sore to me! I'll make sure to make you disappear in the world and erase everyone's memories about you! Come forth Amaterasu!"

The glowing golden circles behind him shot out more particles, but this time instead of a figure appearing like with Izanagi and Izanami, a red-colored sword with what looks like black-colored blood staining the sword's otherworldly beauty with its black handle wrapped with a golden bandage.

"Amaterasu? But why is the Sun Goddess a sword!" Chris pointed at Levin's new sword.

"Hahahaha! Not only can I summon gods to my side, I can even transform them into weapons and other objects for me to use! There are even gods you humans you don't even know about locked up in my vault!" roared Levin with glee as the six circles behind transformed into a black oozing tentacle creature with many eyes on it with ripple-like pattern irises and razor-sharp teeth gasping for a meal as the lashed out to the outer side of Levin, Izanagi, and Izanami.

"And I'll let you on a little secret; my Myriad of Gods devours their prey body and soul and traps them forever in it unless I decree their release! Not only that any other being eaten by my vault will also become gods and live forever within my soul! And the residents of Gensokyo will make a nice addition to the vault…"

Chris's face twitched with horror and shocked. "You're out of your mind! Devouring them! That's what you're going to do with them! There's no why I'm going to let that happen!"

"What about changing my mind… it's a futile attempt, but it does so amuse me," laughed Levin as he readies himself.

"Looks like talking's out of the picture then, well fine! I'll just beat some sense into you! Maybe then you're stop!" argued Chris as he shifted his body and raised his left sword up and his right blade down in reverse grip.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you, a worthless Ki User who can't even use the basic fundamentals without using objects to support himself, especially with four gods fighting you. Izanagi and Izanami, prepare yourself!" declared Levin commanding his 'lesser' gods to obey him.

"I see, we have to do such awful things now that we've been reunited Izanagi," spoke Izanami with a gentle, but powerful voice.

"Indeed, I hate to kill such a noble soul like him but we have no choice. We barely move our bodies they way we want and Levin has commanded us so," Izanagi mused, an almighty and benevolent voice fitting for a god like him. "Boy, please prepare yourself. I am sorry for what I am about to do."

"So as I. Child of this world, please forgive us," frowned Izanami with a sadden expression as both gods ready themselves.

There was one thing going through Chris's mind right now, something usually written in manga or anime:

I am so screwed… but I got to try! I won't know how this will end without doing my best!

"Fine then, this time I'm get serious!" yelled Chris as he dashes in-between Izanagi and Izanami.

With the momentum from his speed he sprung himself up into air in-between Izanagi and Izanami just right in front of their faces as both the giant gods swing their halberds, Izanagi aiming below and Izanami aiming higher, dodging their attacks and quickly fired off two huge red Ki blasts from the palm of his hands into their face.

Both of the gods shook their heads as the attack barely hurt them as Izanami swung her halberd towards the slowly descending Chris as the black-haired youth swung his sword in a traditional grip downward from the sky and rebound off of her halberd as the two blades collided and flew even higher into the air.

Izanagi swung his halberd in a horizontal motion and fired out rounds of electric at Chris. The youth then proceed with a hand sign and brought his index and middle finger to his mouth almost covering the upper lip.

"Fire Style: Fireball!"

A burst of a huge flame shot out of his mouth as both the fire and lightning fused together into an electric ball of fire and exploded midair as Chris sky dived back to the ground and landed safely he sprinted over where Levin was as he roughly dodged a swing from Izanami's halberd.

The dark god smirked as he parried with the black-haired boy in red with his Amaterasu sword clashed with the boy's twin sword, sparks of light ignited the air like fireworks, Levin disappeared after throwing a third slash and reappeared behind the boy with a roundhouse kick to the head ready.

Chris foresaw this with his Ki Sense, detecting him behind and ducked forward and circled around to swung his sword in a vertical slash as Levin brushed it away with his sword.

"Black Flames: Amaterasu!" roared the dark god as his red and black sword creating flames of black oozing aura and lunged it at Chris.

Chris quickly doing one backflip after another three times, each time he landed, away from the flames immediately sensing the danger and counter with his own fire attack.

"Fire Style: Fireball!"

Again Chris breathed out the orange-red flames as it collided with the black flames pushing each other like a reverse game of tug-of-war, however the black flames quickly devour his fire engulfing it all down to the last spark as Chris performed another hand sign and slammed his hands into the ground.

"Water Style: Twin Water Dragon!"

The two-headed sea dragons returned once more and clashed with the black flames, but were put out instantly. Chris looked with surprise and astonishment.

"How the…!"

"Hahahaha! The Amaterasu's black flames cannot be put out by normal means, now swallow in despair and hopelessness as the flames consumes your flesh and blood!" laughed Levin as he commands his attack to finish off Chris.

However the boy disappeared, using his Vanish Dash, and reappeared behind Levin allowing the black flames to disperse as Levin knew he would counterattack at his backside. Blocking Chris's incoming attack with his blade and struggled to push him away, Chris appeared behind Levin as Levin tries to push the other Chris in front of him. His eyes immediately widen in surprise.

"Wait! Two of you…! Afterimage!" stuttered Levin with a look for astonishment as he tries to turn around in time to avoid the attack however the Chris behind him was too close to evade with the Chris he was dealing with earlier vanish into thin air.

Chris's twin sword aimed right where Levin's neck was, inching closing and closing every half-a-second and as the blade got close enough to hack the dark god's head clean off… Chris clicked his tongue and swung his sword at Levin's chest instead as the dark god took the chance to jump back as the blade grazed his exposed chest with a shallow cut etch across his chest.

Chris jumped back a few feet away clunking his tongue in annoyance. The dark god looked at Chris surprised and then started cracking up in a roar of laughter, the black-haired boy perked up his brow in irritation at the sudden outburst.

"Now this is rich! Didn't you had the perfect chance to kill me right there? I must admit I got completely caught off guard there with that afterimage stunt or whatever it was. Do tell me, do you really aim to take my life with that blade that has never once tasted human blood?" Levin inquired slyly.

Chris shunned away while glaring back at the dark god as he readies himself once again. The dark god couldn't help but laugh again.

"This is too much; you have absolutely no killing intent whatsoever! You never killed anyone before have you? No wonder your attacks lack such elegant death blows, you're too soft… another thing I despise about humans," said Levin with a dark and moody taunt.

"Even though gods can die as legend foretold, I swore on my blades a vow never to use them to take a life! I'll find a way to beat you without taking your life!" declared Chris with a strong resolve look in his eyes.

Izanagi and Izanami looked at the boy with an impressive smile, as the both of them watched from the sidelines as Levin ordered them to stand down for the moment. "What a rare boy to find this day and age," spoke the god Izanagi with great respect.

Levin just scoffed at the boy with an irritated look and glared. "Ha, you're more naïve than I give you credit for. I've seen countless fools like you before and you know what? They do save the world sometimes, but so what? It falls to ruin again and the whole cycle repeats! I won't let centuries of planning to punish the world go undone by some mangy stupid little boy!"

Levin extended his hand once more and declared from his vault another god. "Now I beckon you, Tsukuyomi!"

Materializing into his left wrist a dark blue small shield with a mirror centered on it appeared with what looked like white oozing blood decorating the outside part of the shield and center around the mirror.

"Tsukuyomi as well!" Chris panicked a bit, the situation keeps on getting worse on him. Can he really beat this guy when he hasn't even fully perfected his abilities?

Levin vanish and reappeared right in front of Chris in a heartbeat as Chris reacted with both reflex and instinct by swinging his sword over his head downward towards Levin at the same time he appeared before him.

The dark god threw the arm with the shield against the sword attack. The instant the shield and sword clashed a gust of cold air escaped from the mirror and ricochet Chris backwards as a trail of purple ice followed him almost encasing him in solid ice, as he performed his Fire Style: Fireball technique and propel himself away, panting heavily. Levin nodded his head and a feeling of regret and killing intent circled around Chris.

Jumping into the air in a backflip on impulse Chris narrowly escapes Izanagi and Izanami's attacks as both the gods extended their hands out. Izanagi fired a pulse of electric as Izanami fired a sphere of light hurling towards Chris. The black-haired boy charged up his body, a blue electrified aura wrapping around his entire as he sprinted passed the attack.

Taking the initiative Chris closed in and smashed his fist into Izanagi's chest, forcing him to cough and push back a little, and then kicked off of him towards Izanami and threw a roundhouse kick at her however the goddess blocked it with her arm and proceed to stab Chris with her halberd. He timed in just right and placed his hand on top of the flat surface of the blade and pushed himself, but slipped up and grabbed something soft to stop himself from falling. He looked up, he accidently grabbed the goddess by her… right chest.

Both the gods started at the boy, with Izanami's face lighting up a bit with a blank expression. Chris panicked and let go, pummeling into the ground. Izanagi looked on curiously. The boy apparently has some bad luck at the worse time.

"S-S-S-Sorry! I-I-I d-d-didn't mean to, I swear!" Chris frantically waving his hands in defense his face bright hot red. The goddess hovered in place for a seconds and then smirked and giggled a bit.

"So there's a naughty side of you," she spoke with smile. "It shouldn't matter, we are warriors. Genders shouldn't affect the flow of battle nor should you be distracted by something like this."

"No, it does! A-A g-gentleman should n-never… erm… do that to a lady ever! Especially in battle!" Chris shouted in retaliation still with a burning red face.

Izanagi smirked. "What a pure and innocent child, I really do hate to be force to slain you."

Levin saw the scene unfold before him uninterested. He loses his cool and focus over something insignificant like that? The boy was a lost cause he thought as he pulled his shield in front of him and exhaled a gust of ice from the mirror where Chris was.

Snapping out of focus, Chris noticed the attack of the purple ice and hurled himself into the air with much greater distance than before and pulled his hands together. Focusing all of his Ki into a single point and hurled it straight at Levin.

"CHAOS… BEEEEAAAMMM!"

The stream of red and black Ki energy erupted from the palms of his hands, doubling the size of before taking up to a twenty radius area and grew larger. The dark god looked on at the approaching attack and with a flick of his hand, knocks the beam out of his way into the air where it exploded several feet away from him. Chris looked on in astonished and shocked, he didn't expect and knew anyone could knock Ki away with their bare hands like that.

"Is that all? Really now I only used 18% of my full power and still going easy on you, you're pathetic," smirked the god as he flicked his hair with pride. Chris growled, he had to plot something quick or this is over for good!

A strange vibrating sound was heard suddenly from where the group was, and Levin smiled with a triumphant look on his face as he turned toward the shrine. The green sphere of light that was there, before ripped open forming a jagging gap into the air like the mouth of gigantic vicious monster. As a sign of good will the dark god returned both Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi back into the Myriad of Gods and beckoned Izanagi and Izanami to follow.

"It looks like you're lucky day, my time playing with you help kill some time for the portal to finally finish connecting to Gensokyo. Now then I bid you good do, until I enslave you and your kind, farewell," said the Levin as he slowly entered the green gap.

"Wait!" screamed Chris as he rushed over to Levin.

"On second thought," Levin said with a devilish smirk. "I'm in the mood to kill something, so bye-bye."

With that he flicked his fingers and several blue sphere of light surrounded the dark god and hurled themselves towards Chris, and with the momentum from the sprint he's doing and the loss of energy to perform a proper Vanish Dash in time Chris couldn't stop in time as the spheres engulfed in the area he was in.

The spheres kicked up a huge debris of dust as both Alvin and Raine arrived at the scene just in time to witness Chris's apparent demise.

"CHRIS-CHAN!" screamed Raine looking helplessly at the scene.

"CHRIS, BRO!" yelled Alvin his eyes watering up.

The dark god smirked with delight and was about to enter the gap completely until a figure tackled him from behind and slugged him square in the face as the two of the tumbled into the vortex, closing up as they both entered.

Raine fell to her knees in shock and narrowed her eyes in annoyance. "That damn idiot! He jumped right in with him! God knows where the hell he went!"

Alvin stared in disbelief as well looking on to where Chris tackled Levin into the vortex. Their astonishment was short-lived as a man slowly approached them from behind. The two of the quickly turned gearing themselves up for a possible fight until they recognized the figure.

"Vincent-san!" the both exclaimed.

"Alvin-kun, Raine-san. What on earth happened here? I got back in time to visit Chris and then a huge energy spike occurred all over the city," said the strange black-haired man which went pass his shoulders, a narrow scar etch across his face in a vertical slash from the top left to bottom right, a long grey trench coat, a dirty brown scarf, black shirt, dark navy jeans, and shoes. "There was a god here, an evil one at that… and Chris's Ki vanished with him. Tell me what happen."

The two teen explained the sudden chains of event leading to this situation, as Vincent closed his eyes and listen to their story. He had a pondered expression on his features and sighed.

"It looks like Chris is on his own; all we can do is pray and hope he's safe. That type of gateway opens every three months, we'll see if Chris comes back by then or not."

"How are you not worried! He's your nephew at least and you're he's godfather! What if that dark god kills him!" complained Raine by Vincent's calm composure to the situation.

"It seems you don't know Chris well enough it seems, don't worry. He's a tough kid, he always manages to survive every hardship threw out him no matter how much he's in pain," said Vincent with a calm and relax tone.

"That's not any better!" roared Raine in typical anime rage.

"I do hope Chris is OK… and that huge girl he was fighting from the distance," said Alvin pondering something with a strange worried look. "It looked like she was C-Cup size or D-Cup size or in-between."

Raine glared at Alvin with more hate than at Vincent. "ALVIN!"


Rolling the two figures were as the black-haired youth in red spun further away from the dark god as both Izanagi and Izanami appeared in the void with them. The dark god got up with a very annoyed, irritated, vicious look in his face baring his teeth in rage.

As the boy get up he looked away. The entire area was… twisted in a way. It was surprising a musky yellow space with brown, red and green light swirling in some areas and it appears to have no end in all directions. Chris even looked down to see that both ground and sky went on forever, however he was definitely standing on some invisible footing.

He looked at the dark god. While the dark god looked unscathed from the previous battle, Chris's was bruised all over with dirt on his clothes and parts of his red jacket tore. He was breathing slightly more than, but not a heavily as before.

Levin looked on with disgust on his face, never has a human irritated him as much as this one.

"I'm going to finish you once and of all! I'm going to use 25% of my full power now," roared Levin as he slashed the air in a horizontal motion with his hand. "I can summon ECHOES in here as well! Energy can easily pass through here from the outside!"

A light bulb turned on in Chris's head. He had a chance now, but there was the problem with that move. But he needed to buy time.

"I'm not giving up! My right hand holds the benevolent darkness!" shouted Chris as he brings up his sword in front of him as an aura of darkness covers it, "And my left hand holds the malevolent light!"

This time an eerie white veil covered his other sword as he brought it up in front of him, his swords in an X formation in front and swung forward as a gust of darkness Ki and light Ki tear through the air causing Levin to shield his body with his arm as Chris dashes forward slashing at him.

"Shattering a new path before me! Changing all god's path and defying the wheel of fate's cruel desire! Deny all that is wrong and recreate a new future! Answer my call as I my blades roar for victory!" Chris enchanted slashing through Levin's body, but never cutting off his body parts for some reason.

What's going on? Why is my body losing energy! Levin thought as his strength faded away with each blow as Chris jumps backwards and raises both of his swords into the as the two different element Ki mix together.

"DIVINE UNITY FUSION!" Chris cried out as he slices the air in front of him and the towering black and white ki energy bends forward, expanding in size which looks like it's capable of devouring Tokyo in a single blow, and engulfs Levin, Izanagi, and Izanami in its path.

"Grghhhhhh! Dammit, this is nothing!" bellowed Levin trying to stand up after the assault, an attack meant to drain the user of all their strength and to be struck one last defeat in a attempt to knock them out cold. He held back because he didn't want to kill him.

"It's time! I have no choice but to use my ace in the hole!" said Chris and he did something strange. He tossed his swords into the air and their put his hands together into another hand sign; both index and middle fingers pressed against each other as he held his hands together, and the swords started swirling around him.

"Ace in the hole? What could you possibly have left to dare defy me!" yelled Levin, however he was a bit curious.

Chris glared at him before closing his eyes and started sucking up energy from the outside of the portal, a little green sphere of light left where Levin and he entered, and gathered the spirit energy from the living beings. Chris learned to gather spirit energy from the planet itself from one of Vincent's rigorous training routine, to easily heal himself and increase his strength, and he learn something by accident one day.

Unfortunately it's very risky… however since he's not at full power I can take him down in surprise and finish this without him striking back! Chris thought as his swords disintegrated into energy particles and absorbed into Chris's body along with the spirit energy.

Chris slowly raised his hands into the air, like he was about to catch something, and then pulled them back to his waist as his body erupted into a golden aura. His hair transformed into a golden yellow color instead of the usual black hair but the white tips remained, strange marking etched his cheeks, his blue eyes turned fiery red, and strangely his red hooded jacket turned dark orange.

Levin and his gods looked on with astonishment. "What. The. Bloody. Hell!"

"No time for sightseeing," stated Chris coldly and suddenly Levin kneed.

He looked down to see Chris's golden aura fist in his gut. When and how did he…?

Chris kicked Levin in the chin and shot him right up into the air. Levin stopped momentarily and looked around to find Chris, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Where the hell are you!" Levin screamed with rage doting back and forth.

"Hey," came a whisper to the right of Levin's ear, "Can you faster than the speed of light like I can?"

Levin's eyes widen with horror as steams of golden light pierced through the small void all over, like a giant energy net covering everywhere with no place to escape, even both Izanagi and Izanami were caught in the attack.

Levin's body screamed with pain. Where did that come from!

He looked up and saw Chris, hovering in the air, with his arms folded and with a serious look etched into his face. He was flying now, usually Ki Users can manipulate the flow of Ki to allow flight but this loser couldn't handle the ki flow right so he shouldn't be able to fly.

"What the… how the hell are you doing that?" asked Levin seething his teeth with rage.

"This is my Super form; I like to call it 'Super Level' or 'Super Human' form. It's a transform ability I can across accidently while learning to gather spirit energy, in the middle of my training my swords for some reason turned into Ki energy and got swallowed up along with the spirit energy resulting in this form. I'm capable of flight in this form only and my speed greatly enchanted to god-like standards, and a bit of enhance strength as well," plainly stated Chris, a golden aura enveloping him.

However there's a catch… I have to sacrifice my abilities to use my element Ki powers, except for Thunder and Light styles… and…

Chris was starting to breathe a little heavy now as he disappeared out of sight and right in front Levin's face. The dark god glared at him as Chris fired a golden and black colored Ki blast in his chest and shot him back further. He was about to give chase, but pain erupted throughout body causing him to stop in moment and cough up a lot of blood from his mouth.

As Levin slowly stopped in track from the sudden attack, he looked on with blank interest and then smiled with evil glee.

"I see now… you can't really use that form, can't you?" said Levin pointed at Chris as he covers his mouth to stop any more blood shooting out and glared back at him. "I mean that much power in a human body? It must put some more stress and pain constantly throughout the body, as it rips your body from the inside out!"

Chris grunted he pulled his hands back, a huge golden and black sphere started to form behind him three times the size of his Chaos Beam. Levin looked up, but didn't look worried. Without caring why Levin was smiling Chris threw out his attack.

"SUPER CHAOS… BEEEEEEAAAMMM!"

The gigantic mass of Ki made up of gold and black lights rips through the voided air with a screeching sound as it grew closer to the dark god, it would engulf him and the other two gods as they watch the attack crept closer. Levin smirked and snapped his fingers as the blast collided with him.

Chris started panting heavily now, did he really get him? He had a really he didn't, but he must of wounded him greatly.

This is bad… my initial transformation into this form lasted 10 seconds… I may have extended it to 5 minutes long now… but the overwhelming energy over time puts way too much stress on my body… and with my speed attack it really messed up my body a bit…

"I will admit, that transformation ability of ours something. I don't recall any Ki Users developing something like that," said a cold and malevolent voice, "And I'll tell you something… that hurt! That actually HURT!"

Chris looked up in horror, the dark god was alright but that wasn't all. He was hidden inside a translucent being with a golden fiery body with a small head that had four beady black eyes with a crown or something that had a similar style to Levin's hair, small arms that soon expanded larger reaching its hands which had a somewhat mechanical appearance, a similar arc like Levin's Myriad of Gods behind it, and two large golden see-through katanas that were like towers.

Levin safely encased within the giant smirked. "This is my Divine Protection: Susano'o! There is no being that has pierced through my Susano'o's ultimate armor body, not even Excalibur can slice through him! You failed, it's over."

Chris gritted his teeth and spun himself into a drilling aura and proceed to ram into the golden god's body, but bounced off causing more pain through his body. But he refused to give up, he continuous kept on ramming himself into the god's body over and over again hoping and believing he could break through it.

Both Izanagi and Izanami looked on with a sadden expression on their face.

"He knows he can't win, but refuses to give up. Somewhere he believes in his heart he can success," said Izanagi as he gritted his teeth. He didn't want to fight like this, be forced to watch something like this, but they could not refuse as Levin's powers negate their free will.

"Indeed, he's truly a very unusual human and rare for someone of his kind. I'm sorry my love, but can only do but watch," Izanami spoke in a calm, but slightly enraged tone.

"Is that all we can do now?" Izanagi gritted his teeth even more and gripped his hand harder on the halberd as blood seethes down his weapon.

Chris bounces off once more and tries to charge up another Super Chaos Beam, but suddenly his body stopped and he coughed up even more blood. The pain was so overbearing that he pummeled into the ground and revert back to his original form with his swords rematerializing by his sides. His body was burning everywhere, his bones felt like they were melting.

He looked up with a determined look; he wasn't going to give up.

"I commend you, but it ends here," said Levin as he raises his arm, Susano'o allows mimics his movement.

Chris tries to get back up on his feet, but can't. He was royally screwed up his body, he can't move anymore. All he could do was glare at the dark god.

"Farewell, nobody," with a flick of his wrist the golden blade descend upon Chris. The bone-crushing speed and air create debris made from the void's space completely covering the other side of the field.

Izanagi and Izanami looked away.

"Hmm… and now I can forget about that annoying little Gary Stu," chuckled Levin with pride.

"I'M NOT A GARY STU!" roared a voice.

"Wha…?" Levin quickly looked into the debris as waves of shadow arms with red eyes and blue iris bind the great Susano'o in place, preventing it to use his swords. "How is this possible…?"

All of the gods looked forward as the debris started to clear up and revealed the lone figure standing there. Their expressions twisted with shock and confusion.

The black-haired boy stood up as he roared out, but then suddenly stopped himself. The pain was gone, nut how? He looked down at himself and his eyes widen with confusion.

His fingernails turned claw-like, he had a red twin tail scarf warped around his neck with rips at the end, his red hooded jacket was now dark grey except with holes near the bottom, his black t-shirt now bloody red, his blue baggy shorts now grey and his sneakers remained the same but with spikes on the soles.

That was the most unusual part, his sprouted a long black furless silky smooth tail, and grew fangs and the tips of his hair red instead of white now. He could tell that he had strange marking on his face and his eyes with demonic red now.

"OK… this is new…" Chris said to himself as he examined every part of his body.

Levin stared, he was quite flabbergasted. "What in the name of me, what the hell are you!"

Chris looked back at Levin not understand this at all as he notices his shadow shot out his Darkness Style: Shadow Arms move. When did he…?

Suddenly a new emotion burned within Chris's heart and glared at Levin. For some reason he hated his guy much more than before, but he didn't understand why? True this guy is evil, but he still wants to reach out and help him but he didn't want to anymore. Something told him to hate this guy.

Don't forgive him… this guy I will never forgive…!

He didn't understand it, but the voice echoed in his head over and over again. Chris wanted to… kill Levin. He didn't understand it, but this rage, this hate… was natural for him as if it's the right feeling to hate this guy.

Chris bared his fangs at Levin as he huddles his body in with his arms forming an X in front of him with his palms facing Levin.

Levin snarled. "Do you actually think you can beat me! I'm the ultimate god and Susano'o cannot be beaten, give up!"

"You… I'm going… to kill you!" roared Chris as he sprinted forward! He felt overwhelming power now, but for some reason was slower than his normal human form but not too much. Levin just watches as Susano'o is immobilized by the Shadow Arms for the moment as Chris claws at Susano'o's body where Levin is located at.

To Levin's surprise, Chris ripped right through Susano'o's body as the golden god let out a shriek of pain.

"What the hell!" Levin looked now with horror as Chris reaches for him as he created only as small hole large enough for his entire arm. Suddenly his arm stretch and reached where Levin was, the dark god quickly snapped out of his dazed and moves out of the way.

But it wasn't over, Chris's hand suddenly enlarged itself being five times bigger than Levin's body and grabbed him and pulled him out of Susano'o with great force and slammed him into the ground. The dark god coughed up some blood, the raw power cause incredible pain throughout his body as Chris threw him back at Susano'o slamming him at the golden god's chest.

Izanagi and Izanami looked on, completely transfixed on the boy's sudden and newly-founded transformation.

"What on earth is he? This power… is more like…" Izanagi began to speak, but Izanami finished it for him.

"He's a divine being like us, like a god instead of a demon or youkai despite his appearance. But he's aura is completely different than a god's…"

Levin pulled himself off of him and bared his teeth at Chris. "I don't know where the hell that came from, but I'm sure as hell I'm going to kill you!"

He re-summoned Amaterasu to his hand and teleported right in front of Chris as the black-haired boy threw his claws at him with an arc motion as streams of yellow energy burned out from his fingertips. The dark god brought up Amaterasu to defend, but the force of the collision cause more pain to Levin as his body tremble under the pressure from Chris assault, his hands stand on the blade.

Where the hell did this insane raw level of power come from! He's got to be at least ten or so times stronger than that blonde vampire girl and the Onis! Levin gritted his teeth, wincing at the pain every second. He kicked away and sliced through Chris's gut, hacking out his stomach.

Levin smirked as he caught him off guard as Izanagi and Izanami look on in disgust. Just as Chris was looking at his now missing stomach, the wound started to heal up, black blood or ooze came out from his body and reformed the missing body part in a black ooze in seconds and Chris's wound was completely healed.

Levin cannot believe what he was seeing. Was he immortal in this form or something? Where did that high-speed regeneration ability come from!

"BLACK FLAMES: AMATERASU!"

Levin sliced the air once more with a sea of black flames consuming the area, creeping closer to Chris. The demonic-looking human started on and raised his hand.

"TIME STOP!"

The sea of flames froze as a blue distorted sphere encased the area they where consuming. Levin stood and watched in horror. Just like that maid he researched on, but his time manipulation was weaker to some extent.

Then suddenly he punched a hole in the air, which shattered on impact like he hit something invisible where he stood and another portal popped up next to Levin's face as Chris's fist connected to him. The dark god was shoved a few feet away and saw Chris's arm sticking inside a yellow mini-vortex enveloping his arm and his hand where he punched him next to him who was several feet.

Just like the boundary youkai…!

Chris then entered into the vortex he created and emerged where Levin was as he got him and elbowed him in the gut, punched him in the face, clawed at his chest, and repeat the process.

How could this have happen! If he was at full power from the start this form wouldn't pose any threat at all! How could the tables turned in favor of his kid!

Levin took another punch to the face, coughing up blood in the rhythm.

Out of all the gods and other supernatural beings Levin has seen… he didn't know what the hell this guy was. There's no way someone like him could house this many abilities at once! There's no way this is his own power, something or someone is giving him this power! Something must've latched on to him, but what!

Time began to flow again for the black flames and Levin recall them over to him and jumped out of the way as the black flames finally consumed the boy. However the boy gave off blue shockwave and the flames disappear, with him unscathed.

Levin was flabbergasted.

"Impossible… how didn't that work! The black flames can't be put out and the burn everything!" he cried.

Chris… we can't forgive this guy no matter… kill him… kill him!

Chris listen to the voice in his head, completely consumed with rage and hatred now but his dark aura never losing its divine quality, but he coughed up some blood as he sprinted. The flames did damage him, but his wounds weren't healing as fast as before.

Levin took another punch to the face, but noticed that it wasn't as strong as before and noticed the blood flowing down his face. So he grew weaker every time he uses his abilities in this form? Interesting…

Chris tries to deliver to a roundhouse kick, capable of ripping through the dark god's body in half, but his body encased itself in black flames and got sucked into the marking on his face as he reverts back to normal. Chris snaps back to reality, getting control over himself once more.

Levin widen his eyes at this scene, and smiled with an evil grin, as he smashed his fist into Chris's rib cage causing him to cough up more blood and threw him back several feet skidding across the invisible floor next to the other green vortex at the end of his void.

"Unbelievably," said the dark god like he was singing, "He got another chance to finish me off, but you lost it once again. You really have bad luck."

He flicked his wrist and a small group of ECHOES emerged from the ground. "Go now my servants! Descend upon Gensokyo and build your nest and plant your seeds of destruction everywhere!"

The black creatures giggled in excitement and passed by Chris as they enter into Gensokyo, diving into the grounds like shadows and surfing the shadows in the world to look for a new home.

Chris stared intent at Levin, his body was still a wreck but not as painfully as before. He remembered everything that happened in that… Divine Darkness form of his, but couldn't control himself and the power was constant burning him with pain and lashed out at the god. His body felt… different now.

His hands found their way to the strap belonging to his backpack… he was wearing it the entire time! And how come it looked… unscathed? Was that the power of the Divine Darkness too?

Chris's head was throbbing as he wiped the blood off his mouth; some blood came down from his head and passed over his eye but was too tire to wipe it off. He noticed his swords were next to him again, he must've swallowed them into his body in that dark form. He went up and picked up his swords and sheathed them.

Levin glared at Chris. "You're more unique than you look, but that power isn't your own. Your just stealing it from someone else you faker, but I could add that power to my vault."

With that the Myriad of Gods appeared once again, with the black tentacles emerging once again with its hungry eyes looking at Chris.

He tried gathering spirit energy again, but not to transform but to use the almighty spirit energy attack. The small particles of light formed in his right hand, but disperse causing more pain throughout his body.

Chris winced at his misfortune. I messed up big time… didn't I? I haven't even master it or truly study it yet and I'm trying to use that attack… haha…

"However you're still just a worthless vile human," said Levin with the most coldest of look in his eyes as he reappearances in front of Chris and smashes both his arm with his hands, breaking his bones.

Chris's eyes widen and let out an agonizing scream as Levin proceed to do the same to Chris's legs and pummels his body into the ground.

"What's a matter!" roared Levin in excitement as he stomps on Chris's head as the black-haired boy endures the pain. "Where do all that moxie go! Come on show me how you're going to beat!"

The dark god kicks Chris in the head and sends them rolling as he extends his hand. "Heal!"

Chris's entire body is completely restore, his bones no longer broken and back to perfect health, as Chris looks up in astonishment at the dark god as he breaks Chris's arms again.

"Oops… Did I break your arms again?" asked Levin with an evil grin as Chris screamed in pain again as he repeated the process three more times, breaking, kicking, punching, healing, and crushing over again.

Chris screamed in pain, trying his pain to endure it. Levin slammed him into the ground as Chris laughed.

The dark god looked on curiously, why on earth was he laughing? Did I give him brain damage?

"Is… that all?" Chris spit out, trying his best to speak as he looked up with blood dripping down his face and smirking. "Hehe… you call this suffering? This pain pales in comparison with the pain I felt years ago!"

Levin glared hard at the boy, "I see that I've been too lieutenant so far! This time I'll show you no mercy!"

He lifted him into the air with a wave of his hand, a psychic grip, and slammed him into the ground and raised him into the air once again and smashed him over and over again. The black-haired boy just smirked, like it was nothing but sometimes a small scream escapes his mouth, looking at him with a face saying 'Is that all?' as he continues to get his punishment.

"Lord Levin that's enough!" bellowed Izanagi. He and his wife cannot bear to watch this horrifying scene any longer.

Levin looked back with a dark glare and then smile; the most wicked of wickedest smiles on his face as he answers them.

"You're right! Let's end this!" Levin gave the most evil sadistic look on his face as he raises his hand. "Come forth… Azure Dragon of Lightning: Zeus! Tundra Lizard of Sea: Poseidon! Three-Headed Dog of Darkness: Hades! Kill him!"

With that a gigantic Azure Dragon made of pure lightning appeared behind Levin, he looked like an ant compare to the size of the dragon. Next a giant lizard or serpent-like shape of water steam behind Levin with a smaller size than the dragon, its yellow eyes piercing Chris. And finally a giant shadow appeared from below and a pair of six red eyes looked at Chris before as the shape of a dog's head of the pair of eyes started to form.

Chris looked back terrified. He picked himself up, there's no way he was going to die like this! There's no option left but one!

"I shall let the Greek Gods finish, bye-bye loser," said Levin and with the motion of his hand the three gods began their assault.

Feeling a surge of energy Chris sprinted towards where the green gap was leading to Gensokyo was.

Levin looked on and roared in outrage. "There's no way I'm letting you escape to Gensokyo!"

The three gods got closer to Chris; he had to do something quick!

He jumped into the air and fired out his Chaos Beam at great speed and shot himself through the portal as Levin yelled out in angry. "NOOOO!"

However the Azure Dragon, Zeus, manage to shock Chris a bit with electric as he escaped the void and watches as the green gap twist and turns itself away like it was in pain and closed up.

Chris was hurling to the ground at high-speed, and the problem was he was super high up! He'll die from this fall, but he ran out of Ki to use.

He try to gather to Ki to use but to no avail. His body was too beaten up to heal properly… his body? That's could work!

Chris mustered up all of the remaining Ki in his body and enchanted it, all he could do was make his body stronger and hopes he can reduce the damage of the impact as much as possible. He brought his arms up to protect himself as he impacted the earth below and bounced right off from the sheer force with his back exposed and smashing into a boulder where he created the crater from the fall.

"Why… do I always… manage… by the end… of the day… to hurt my back?" Chris chuckled to himself in pain as he slid off the boulder back into the crater he made with his face looking up into the sky. "I'm… in… so much… pain…"

Levin proceed to where the portal was and slammed his fist into the invisible wall, he cursed at the boy. "Goddamn him! I have to wait another three months before I can reopen the portal!"

He gnarled; he wasn't going to let his go unpunished! He'll have to do something truly horrible to the boy once he gets to Gensokyo. And idea crept into his head, but he scowl.

"I know a perfect way, plus it's a good way to be discreet. However I now have to wait six months to truly punish that brat!"

"What was that loud 'thud', ze?" said a blonde-haired girl. She was wearing a large pointy black hat like a witch, a white dress with a black apron over it extending down to her feet, blond hair with one side of her hair tied with a ribbon. Not only that, she was hovering on a broom before touching the ground.

"Yay, I hear a loud thud too! It think it came from over there!" said a young girl who looked about nine or ten years old, a little shorter than the witch girl. She sounded drunk as she took a sip from a purple gourd from her waist.

She was an orange-haired, that was knee-length long, with a red ribbon tied on the back of her head; she wore what looked like an old tattered pink blouse with its sleeves ripped off and a purple and pink skirt, chains and shackles dangling off her waist and the small ponytail. However she wasn't any ordinary girl as she has two horns sticking out of her head, with a purple ribbon tied to one horn.

"What are you talking about? Are you sure you heard something? I have to get back to the shrine! Someone could've made a donation today!" complained a brown-haired shrine maiden said with less enthusiastic than the other two.

She had about shoulder-length dark brown hair with a large red ribbon tied to her head and dark red eyes. She was wearing a bright red vest and dress with white trim, a yellow ribbon, detached white sleeves and a sarashi wrapped around her chest.

"Like that's going to happen! When was the last time someone made a donation!" laughed the blonde-haired witch.

"I don't want to hear that from you Marisa! Maybe you should make a donation at my shrine since you come by everyday!" said shrine maiden staring sternly at the black witch called Marisa.

"Ah come on, Reimu, relax! Where's your sense of adventure~!" cried the Oni excitably throwing her hands up.

"I've done plenty of adventures already so far Suika! Oh well, let's find the source of that 'thud' already, I like to get back as soon as possible," sighed Reimu the shrine maiden walking with her friends in the forest.

"That's the spirit, ze! Come on let's go… huh? Hey look!" exclaimed Marisa pointed to a crater up ahead.

The three girls approached the crater, the source of the 'thud' earlier and in the newly formed crater was a black-haired boy wearing a red hooded short sleeve jacket, a black t-shirt, blue baggy pants, black sneakers, black fingerless gloves, and a yin & yang star pendant wrapped around his neck.

The poor boy was knocked out cold with his eyes swirling in a daze as he landed on his back and the group noticed that the boulder nearby had his shape and it looked like he slide down into the crater after smashing into the ground and bouncing into the boulder.

The girls winced, thinking how painfully the impact was. Reimu looked into the sky, judging by the look of the crater he fell from the high up, and noticed a green jagged gap closing up. She noticed it before too, before her friends got her to check it out, as she was having tea at the shrine.

They noticed his strange clothes, something very uncommon to wear in Gensokyo, which was made with materials they never saw before and the only conclusion is that he's from the outside world. Snapping first from the seeing the unusual scene before them the Oni spoke as she tilt her head.

"Is he dead?" the Oni, Suika, said looking over at the boy was a curious expression.

"Yay, yay! He looks really banged up!" shouted Marias with a smile on her face unfit in this type of situation. "I wonder what he did to cause that crater! Must've been awesome, ze!"

However the strange gap will have to wait as the shrine maiden rushes over to where the boy was checking his pulse. She sighed with relief to find that he had a pulse still and he was breathing.

"He's alive! Marisa, Suika help him up!" shouted Reimu commanding her friends to help the young boy. "We'll take him to the shrine to patch him up! I'll listen to his story later after he's healed, now let's go!"

"How about a little sake? It will help him!" shouted Suika pulling up a gourd from his side into the air.

"No sake! That will just make things worse! Just help pick him up!" said Reimu leering at the Oni.

"Yay, yay! He looks like he's a lot of fun to play with! I can't wait until he awakes up!" said Marisa grabbing his legs as Suika grabs his arms and lifted out of the crater and hurried him to the shrine.

"Oh by the way Yuugi-san is stopping by! Let's have a party when she gets there, yay!" Suika cheered with joy as she carried the boy.

"It's been awhile I wonder how she's doing!" said Marisa.

Reimu winced. Another freeloader…

"Those two…" said Reimu with a palm in her face. "Just make sure to be gentle with him!"

Reimu looked up into the sky to where the strange green crooked gap was before. Noting that several black dots came out of it and disappeared, without ever realizing the black-haired boy before here soon followed and crushed into the ground.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Maybe I should investigate… oh well, I don't feel like it and this boy's health is top priority right now," the shrine maiden said and soon followed her friends to the shrine with the boy in toll.

Author's Note: Another super long chapter, good grief but it had to be done. This is about as long as the first one, but I had to enclose as much information as possible. Unfortunately there were some things that were meant to be added to this chapter, but were either removed or forgotten as I thought how the story would go in my head before writing it down and now I can't remember. Don't you hate that?

Anyway I did manage to put in the things I do remember like in the end how Chris enter Gensokyo, but original it was just Zeus who gave chased. Anyway I got another showing Chris' Super Level form and Divine Darkness form in this chapter, unfortunately there was to be more information of them like their weakness and abilities but I rushed it sorry but look forward to when you learn more about them.

Another thing to note if you're wondering if Chris will deploy the Spell Card system in Gensokyo… however he will not due to him not being able to use Spell Cards. But interesting enough Chris's powers will reevaluate itself to a certain degree of power to fight fairly and without lethal force like the Card system, as if his powers were sentient.

I also wanted to show some fault with Chris's personality or other traits of his personality that make him… less perfect to put it that way. Then again it looked like a rushed as I wanted to finish writing this chapter since it took me 3 to 4 days like chapter one to write due to time constraints and now I'm back to school again so I guess it doesn't show as well.

Originally Chris was wailing on Levin in his base human form from what I first though, but that would've made him overpowered and cheap so I toned him down a bit to make him more believable and I got to explain his powers a bit more in this chapter and it was a good way to show that Chris is actually ever weak. Say for example Chris fought against Mokou in an all Fire Technique battle, Mokou would win as she has perfect mastery over Fire unlike Chris who can only use 12.5%, but Chris's ability to use multiple elements makes up for it as he can use the other elements and resourcefulness to beat her. A chance to show that he can grow, but there's more limitations to his powers.

The fights were suppose to be longer, but I had some issues remembering how it originally went. Plus Levin is a god, he's suppose to be all-powerful and his abilities and 'weapons' make him unique.

I also wanted to make him a different sort of villain with his goal. Instead of world domination or revenge, I wanted to go with something a little more eccentric so I went with him wanted to eternally punishing them world. Granting them eternal life, but however stripped of their emotions and freedom and giving it back to them as he takes it away from them again in endless pain.

And I wanted to show off the ECHO monsters, who originated from my RPG project and original manga project, as they're universal creatures and they exist in this world and other alternate dimension. So watch out, they could be in YOUR fanfic as well… hehe.

This is the end of the second chapter and Chris finally enters Gensokyo and meets the ladies! The next few chapters will be shorter than the first two, but I hope you find this enjoyable! The game version of this, when I can make and find the right team, is made there will be so changes but it will mostly be the same.

EDIT: I updated this chapter a little bit. I added in the part where Levin wails on Chris, beating him up and breaking his bones then healing him and doing it all over again. I wanted to show Levin's sadistic side which I forgot to add in, it's too show more of his cruelty and to show how much he enjoys making people suffer. And the part where he says "It actually HURTS!" as I forgot that too, even fixed up some grammar mistakes.
