"Talk"
'Thought'
"NONE OF YOU ARE SAFE!!!"
In a specific area where it was raining fire, a young child stood in the middle of causing chaos and mayhem, utilizing magical red tendrils to catch and strangle Dr. Fate, as a group of heroes led by Zatanna struggled against her diamond-like familiar named Flaw, and in general, just destroyed everyone and everything around her. She seemed unstoppable and uncontrollable to anyone who faced her.
"Ahahaha, Hahahahah, AHAHAHAHAH-"
However, before Child could continue on being the next doomsday and start the new world apocalypse, she suddenly stopped herself and her laughter when she noticed and sensed something that caught her attention and made her smile
"Heh, I was wondering when you showed up~"
All the heroes, including Child, suddenly looked up and noticed a certain Witch Boy, who was floating in the air, smiling evilly at everyone. The good guys were worried when they saw him; not only did they not know if he was on the good or bad side at the moment, but they also noticed that the Chaos Lord was sitting on the lap of what appeared to be a cat girl, which none of them could recognize or remember having seen before.
"And I see you even got yourself a new familiar~"
Child mentioned that the magical boy had gotten himself a new familiar, which only worried the heroes more, because everyone could sense that this new pet of the Witch Boy carried a type of aura that made the weak-willed and -minded people get instantly traumatized.
"Heh, while no one can ever replace my Teekl, my new kitty cat, Neferpitou, is definitely growing on me~"
Klarion leaned in and nuzzled against the body of Neferpitou, while using a free hand to pet her head as if it were a kitten, to which everyone noticed her reluctance and shameful expression she gave.
"How nice."
The Child had decided that she no longer cared or seemed interested in them, quickly aiming her hand at the two and was about to do something very nasty to them, but before anything could happen, in one quick motion, the head on the Witch Girl's shoulder was suddenly missing from her body, much to everyone's extreme shock, as no one was able to process and realize what just happened, well, all except the Chaos Lord and Pitou.
"HAHAHA, Hot Jam! I Didn't Realize How Brutal You Were Bug King!~"
Klarion laughs loudly as he speaks to the person responsible for removing the head of the Chaos Lady, which Zatanna and Dr. Fate, plus others, had seen, and when they did, well, let's just say that if the cat girl gave off an aura that could traumatize anyone, then this person was something completely different.
"My name is Meruem, I no longer care about being a King anymore."
The person who held the decapitated head of the enemy was known as Meruem, and he looked at the Witch Boy and quickly corrected him that he no longer wanted to be referred to as 'King'. However, before more could be said, the headless body quickly aimed her hand at him and blasted a huge wave of magical hot fire at him, engulfing him completely.
"Huh, you're definitely something different, never met anyone as unique as you."
When the flames died down, the head of the child, whose face was burned away and only remained as a skull with nearly melted boiling eyes, looked at and spoke to the ex-king, who also suffered severe damage from the fire, much to the horror of a certain chimera neko, but he himself did not seem fazed by the pain or injuries he sustained.
"Likewise, this is the first time facing someone who can wield magic."
Meruem looked back at the head, and while his blank, unblinking expression hadn't changed, he seemed a bit interested in what she was doing.
"Oh really, and how was it?~"
If the child had lips, she would be wearing a teasing and mocking smile, which would instantly be replaced with surprise and confusion when he grabbed the top of her head and ripped it off, revealing the brain that had been boiled and melted from her own fire attack.
"Useful, and something that should help me in protecting Komugi."
Meruem responded, before lifting the skull to his lips and started drinking the entire brain juice that was inside, and which resulted in not only healing him, but also increasing the amazing power he already had, which everyone was able to sense and see personally, especially the person whose own brains were being drunk by Meruem.
"FLAW! KILL HIM NOW!"
All Child could say before having her skull crushed into pieces once her brain was fully squeezed out, the living diamond familiar, who was about to kill Zatanna and her small group, quickly turned away from them and started charging towards the Supreme Chimera Ant, raising a fist and throwing it at him with enough force to create a shockwave that sent everyone flying backwards, or at least made the more stronger ones cover their eyes and brace themselves, though despite such a powerful attack, when the dust settled, not only did the Supreme Chimera seemingly remain uninjured, but he was also able to casually catch and hold back the fist of Flaw, which caused the headless body of the Witch Girl to reform her head and showcase her extreme frustration and rage.
"So this is magic? Definitely feels different compared to Nen, not to mention its more mystical than physical."
Meruem looked at himself with more interest and watched his own aura mix with the power of magic; the Chaos Lady became increasingly annoyed when she saw him acting like this, so annoyed in fact that she lifted up both of her hands, summoned as much power as she could muster, and then began speaking in an unfamiliar language.
"α¨ ππβ² β³πΈπ½, π½β°Ε Επ½ β²πΈβ°πβ² β³ππΈπ π½ππΈΕγ ππ!!!"
Once Child had finished her magical, and slightly demonic echoey chanting, she brought her hands down, resulting in powers unknown or barely ever seen in this world to come down and smite the Ex-King.
"Stupid girl, always using forgotten and old magic no one uses anymore!"
Klarion huffed as he created a magical barrier to protect himself and Pitou from such an attack; the kitty cat watched the entire thing with most anxious and worried expression.
"Still need some practice though, a bit more difficult to wield than what I'm used to, hmβ¦"
In response to being smited by the magical girl, Meruem simply raised his hand, which was covered in magic aura, and held it back with his own power, though due to only recently acquiring said power, it wouldn't last long against the Witch Girl's own power, as it was even starting to slowly break his own magic defenses and burn away his hand; however, he seemed unconcerned about it, as once he was done testing out his new power and realizing his own flaws that needed to be fixed when he gets the chance, instead of continuing to block the attack that could easily kill him, he decided to redirect it and use it against the diamond familiar, which not only interrupted Flare's own planned attack, but also hit its weak spot on its chest, which made it frown sadly before exploding into pieces.
"Wait, No, That's Not What I Meant!"
The child tried desperately to use her magic to fix her own familiar, but not only was her connection to the mortal plane fading, but it also seemed that her once powerful abilities that she had wielded with no restrictions were quickly disappearing from her, leaving her too weak to do anything to stop what was happening.
"HAHAHA, looks like someone lost her edge!~"
Klarion laughs and mocks at the fading Chaos Lady, who ignores him and simply glares at the one responsible for doing this to her and ruining everything.
"We will meet again, and when we do, I will squash you like the bug youβ¦"
All Child could manage to say before losing her physical form and turning into a red gem, which floated in the air and disappeared, leaving behind the Supreme Chimera, who had been watching her with the same unchanging expression. Once she was gone, however, he turned his attention back to the Witch Boy himself and began speaking to him.
"We're even now, so don't bother me and Komugi for any more favors."
What kind of relationship do you think Neferpitou and Klarion would have?
(BTW, what kind of power do you think Meruem wouldn't be able to get just by eating the person who has it?)
/Meruem New Abilities\
Kings Magic: At the moment, all he can do is either redirect, block or simply dispel any magic thrown at him, but after some proper training and practice, he can do so much more than that.
