Chapter 47
The Final Solution
Looking at my radiant form, Shulk let out a horrified "No.". "What are you anyway? You say that you're Phoenix but you don't like one to me, chum.", Zeke said. "Talking to you would be a waste of time.", I said, forming the Blazing Sword in my right hand. "Wait, you have access to the Blazing Sword too?", Shadow asked. "Well, the Eikon Phoenix and the Phoenix Force which it was derived from both have control over fire, so it wouldn't be too out of the question that the Phoenix and the Dark Phoenix would be able to manifest the Blazing Sword as well.", Dohalim said. "Wait, you're saying my Eikon was derived from the Phoenix Force?", Byleth asked. "Well, it would more accurate to say that the Eikon Phoenix is the Phoenix Force rather than the Warden of Fire being derived from the Phoenix Force.", Kisara replied. Turning his attention to me, Byleth then said, "Well, what do you have to say?". "Dracarys.", I said, unleashing a giant burst of fire from the Blazing Sword, cutting through and burning the Flood of Light. "No, that can't be possible!", Rinwell said, watching the crimson and golden fire I unleashed burn through the pale pink sky, returning the sky in Cyber Space to its original green colour. Suddenly, Kasane then fell to ground, clutching her head in pain. "Kasane, are you alright?", Shiden asked. "It's nothing. Just a psychic migraine.", Kasane replied. Then, Nikol got a call on his GPS. "Come in, anyone!", a voice desperately cried out from the device. "Are you OK? What's happening?", Nikol asked. "Anyone, please help! The Sin Eaters, they're burning alive! Not just the ones here in Cyber Space but also the ones outside too!", the voice said. Turning her attention to me, Melia asked, "What did you do?!". "Why, I used the power afforded to me as the Super Dark Phoenix to cleanse the Multiverse of both the Sin Eaters and the Flood of Light. This is exactly what you wanted from me, after all.", I said. "Wait, your powers aren't just affecting Cyber Space, but the whole Multiverse too?! I thought the Dark Phoenix was already powerful, but this is on a whole other level!", Futaba said, terrified.
Desperately rushing at me, Shadow covered himself in a dark red aura before promptly flying through the air whilst gathering dark energy in his hands. I slashed the Blazing Sword, unleashing a powerful burst of fire that dispelled Shadow's aura and knocked him into a nearby lamppost, causing the hedgehog to cough up blood. "You monster! Can't you see that the Sin Eaters and the Flood of Light are necessary for us to succeed in our plans?", Clive asked. "Why? You know that the Ascension Project will destroy all. This is the final solution to the Sin Eater problem- no, I guess it was the only solution right from the start.", I said. "But still, it don't justify cutting through the whole Multiverse and destroying an entire race!", Ryuji shouted. "Yes it does. Those things don't deserve a future anyway.", I said. "But still, how were you even able to cut through the Multiverse and burn away the Flood of Light anyway?", Shulk asked. "Thank the Chronos Terminal that I managed to infest and bend to my will. And next time do not question me again!", I replied, unleashing several bursts of fire in a desperate attempt to kill the heroes. Narrowly dodging, the heroes then prepared their own counterattack, rushing at me as I flew towards them. Growing irate at the heroes' refusal to die, I then unleashed even more power, cracking through the sky and sending a powerful burst of fire through that promptly exploded, destroying the Flood of Light outside the Nightmare Void and destroying the Sin Eaters with it. Well, all except the Lightwardens anyway. Horrified, Nero then formed the vestiges of a blue katana in his right hand, bursting the power as he covered his normal sword in a flammable gel that promptly ignited. A blue demonic guardian formed around Nero's body, the power unleashed nearly being enough to burn through my own flames formed from the Super Dark Phoenix's power. "Just fucking DIE!", I shouted as the flames forming around my body then turned dark and flew into the Blazing Sword, turning it black and dark red and causing it to explode, unleashing a giant torrent of fire.
I unleashed the fire at Nero, growing especially irate as he promptly jabbed the blue katana in his right into my body, proceeding to thrust it in and scoop out the Phoenix Force. "You fucker!", I shouted as my robes returned to their normal colour, only for my body to seize up as the dark energy of the Great Astral Spirit surrounded me. "It truly is a shame. You thought you were a God when in reality you were just a normal human all along.", the Great Spirit said. "I AM a God!", I spat out as I watched Nero give the Phoenix Force's power to Byleth, causing magnificent red and orange fiery wings to burst out of his back. As I painfully wrested control of my body back, I then summoned the Renas Alma into my hand as the Great Astral Spirit manifested above me. Noticing both the Renas Alma and the Great Astral Spirit, Dohalim's eyes widened in horror. "No, you can't! Not even you can control its power!", Dohalim cried out. "Can't I, though? Can't. I?", I asked as the energy surrounding me then went into the Renas Alma, supercharging it. Holding it up, I then declared, "Great Astral Spirit, your power is mine!", turning the Great Astral Spirit into a black and dark purple circle above my body. The circle then descended, covering me in black and dark purple energy which then dispersed, covering me in black and dark purple armour as my short light brown hair then grew into a shaggy dark purple mullet. I smirked as the power flowed through my body, the Renas Alma turning into a dark purple orb that seemed to be orbiting me like the Moon orbiting the Earth. I floated upwards, firing up my Tao mandalas. "What is that form?", Shulk asked. "That is an Armatus.", Sorey replied. "An Armatus?", Lanz asked. "A form that someone takes after fusing with a Seraph like I do. But I don't know how Jack was able to harness a being like the Great Astral Spirit and fuse with it myself.", Sorey explained. "I don't know how such a thing works, but that won't stop me from beating him!", Rex shouted, overdriving the Firelight Swords and rushing up to fight me. "That won't be so easy, mortal!", I shouted, unleashing a blast of ice at Rex, driving him back to the ground. Gathering energy in my body, I then unleashed a blast of golden lightning at the heroes, who only just managed to defend against the attack. "You monster! You destroyed an entire race and usurped Lord Yuito as the Sovereign! Have you no shame?", Law asked, angrily. "I am your Sovereign; no-one else is.", I said. Turning my attention to Alphen, I said, "You know what I said, about Yuito being the better candidate to be crowned as the Sovereign? Well, I take it back! I will become the Sovereign instead.". "That won't be possible now. Yuito was given the Ring of the Sovereign and Naomi was given the Ring of the Maiden; only with those rings can people be crowned as the Sovereign and Maiden.", Alphen said. "You mean the rings you and Shionne gave to me and Framme, right?", I asked. "Wait, what?", Rinwell asked. "It's true, though. Alphen, you and Shionne gave me and Framme the Ring of the Sovereign and the Ring of the Maiden respectively, ensuring that the two of us would succeed you as the Sovereign and the Maiden and not Yuito and Naomi. And with those rings, the two of us shall rule all of Aionios, making sure all shall bow down to their rightful rulers!", I said. "Those are the words of a tyrant.", Alphen said. "They are the words of your Sovereign.", I said, forming a dark sphere around my body which I then expanded into a giant attack of dark energy, greatly wounding the heroes.
Smiling, I gathered fire energy in my hands and combined them into a giant sphere of fire, grinning widely as I said, "Now, the time for your deaths is nigh!". As an extra flourish, I also combined water, earth, air, light and dark energy into the sphere, hoping that it would be enough to kill the heroes with the sheer amount of elemental energy in the sphere alone, not just burning the heroes but also freezing, electrocuting and drowning them. I then brought the sphere down on the heroes, only for the attack to be countered by a giant burst of energy which highly confused me, causing the sphere I created to explode. "What?", I asked, incredulous. As the dust cleared, I saw that in Clive, Byleth, Eunie, Shiden, Tager, Flynn and Yumi's places were seven strange beings. "You bastards.", I said, the Crest of the Sovereign forming in my right eye. Clive had turned into a giant demonic being covered in lava and fire with backwards-facing horns, a wolf-like muzzle with sharp fangs, a white mane running down the back of its neck, sharp claws where his hands and feet were and a long tail- the Eikon Ifrit; Byleth had turned into a giant phoenix with scarlet feathers- the Eikon Phoenix; Eunie had turned into a giant harpy with two pairs of wings on her upper and lower back, two talons on her upper wings, wing-like protrusions on her head and a mouth of razor sharp teeth- the Eikon Garuda; Shiden, alongside having rapidly aged, had turned into an old man with long white hair wearing a long dark purple robe and holding a giant staff shaped like a levinbolt with purple levin crackling off of it and a purple crystal at the top- the Eikon Ramuh; Tager had turned into a literal stony giant that towered over the others with skin made of living rock, specifically granite- the Eikon Titan; Flynn had turned into a giant dragon with steel grey scales with gold highlights across his body, massive wings, two long narrow horns on his head, smaller spines running down the back of his neck and two large spear-like protrusions on each of his wings- the Eikon Bahamut; and Yumi had turned into a woman with pale white skin, pointed ears and long platinum blonde hair, wearing a three-pointed crown and a white dress with dark blue ornaments capped off with a long mantle- the Eikon Shiva. Growing extremely angry at this, a flurry of black and dark red energy surrounded me, forming a black and dark red katana in my right hand- the sword Zantetsuken. "What are you? Seriously, what are you?!", I asked the seven Eikons facing me. "What are the Dominants? We are but mighty acts of God.", Clive said through Ifrit. "And you are the greatest of us all- the Mythos. I was surprised to learn that you had primed into Odin and not Ifrit- given that you naturally possess an equal disposition toward all four types of Dahnan astral energy, it would be expected for you to awaken as Ifrit, who can absorb our powers.", Shiden said through Ramuh. "But there's still time before the Ascension Project finishes. Join us and we will submit ourselves to you, Your Majesty.", Eunie said through Garuda. I hesitated at this, considering the prospects of destroying the very Multiverse that I had sworn to defend and leaving a kingdom of death and destruction in its wake. Such a world would not last very long; after all, it would be a world founded on death itself. "I-I-.", I said before Tager said through Titan, "Well, it seems you still need convincing.". At this, Ifrit created a giant sphere of hellfire easily dwarfing what Clive had formed and fired at me; Phoenix, Garuda, Ramuh, Titan, Bahamut and Shiva joined in, radiating fire, wind, levin, earth, light and ice respectively and adding their respective elements to the sphere, which promptly grew even larger to the point that it seemed like it would easily destroy the Nightmare Void from its size alone. In response, a storm of black and dark red energy burst forth from my body and flew into Zantetsuken, as if empowering it. Zantetsuken then crackled with a burst of dark red electricity as the "blade" grew ever sharper, the dark energy distorting the very area around me. "Heads up, Odin!", Clive yelled through Ifrit as he launched the giant sphere of hellfire towards me; at this, I said, "Bring it on, faker!".
As the sphere of hellfire approached me, I took a moment to breathe deeply. Knowing that I would die (or at least be very badly injured if the sphere hit me), I gripped the "hilt" of my katana tightly. Gathering a sharp burst of darkness, I slashed forward, vaporising the sphere of hellfire whilst simultaneously cutting it cleanly in half. The darkness then covered me, creating a black and dark red pillar of darkness that pierced through the virtual sky. As the darkness then cleared, I found myself wearing a suit of black armour with an equally jet black helmet with antlers on it, with a dark mantle behind me, the mantle having gold edges- the Eikon Odin; likewise, I also found myself mounted on a black six legged horse with gold cracks along its coat- the horse Sleipnir. Looking at me with a sense of twisted awe and admiration, Ivy said, "Our Lord has awoken.". Since I had fused with the Great Astral Spirit, there were also dark purple "wings" of sorts behind me; the suit of armour Odin was wearing was also much more ornate as well. "A form fit not for a mere Dominant, but a Sovereign.", Shiden said through Ramuh. Still greatly angered by the devastation around me, I gripped Zantetsuken (which now had grown in size substantially to match my priming into Odin) before charging at the other seven Eikons, ready to kill. Elated at this, Ifrit formed a giant blade of crimson hellfire in his hand to match my own whilst the other Eikons wreathed themselves in auras of their respective elements, the display looking admittedly quite beautiful. As Ifrit and I clashed, the energies from our blades collided, forming a giant explosion of fire and darkness that I deftly redirected to the crack in the virtual sky. This was followed by Shiva creating a giant field of highly pressurised ice, cold enough to nearly freeze a man into thousands of tiny pieces. I shattered the ice with one quick slash from Zantetsuken, the swing also being enough to dispel the tornado that Garuda had formed and the giant purple levinbolt that Ramuh had brought down on me. "Yeah, you're strong all right. Strong enough to become our Sovereign and rule Aionios.", Yumi said through Shiva. Suddenly, Phoenix and Bahamut launched a giant laser of burning light; I dispelled it through an ever greater burst of darkness that also disrupted Titan's attack, with Titan unleashing a giant earthquake. "Just die already!", I roared, a dark aura gathering around me. As it did so, my left arm once again began to crackle with dark red electricity. In my mind, I saw Alvis again. "Are you ready?", he asked. "Yes. I'm tired of running now. I will destroy YHVH, no matter the cost to myself.", I replied. "That's good to hear.", Alvis said. Looking at me, Dohalim then clutched his head in pain. "Dohalim, you OK?", Law asked. "No, to be perfectly honest.", Dohalim replied. "Ah diddums.", I said, unleashing the dark energy covering my arm whilst the Crest of the Sovereign glowed even brighter in my right eye, the crest itself also appearing behind me. Looking at me, Noah said, "No! There's no way he can do that and still live!". "Noah, what do you mean?", Taion asked. "When Mio and I talked with Ragna and Velvet about hypothetically adopting Jack after he was born and raising him alongside our own son Ghondor, Velvet also told us about how being a therion meant she had a dark power in her left arm- the Consuming Claw. I have very good reason to believe that her son Jack also has the Consuming Claw, having inherited the power from her.", Noah replied. "And you're saying that he can't still live how?", Morgana asked. "Well, when a Dominant transforms into an Eikon, there's a chance that they won't be able to return to human form. But Jack isn't just a Dominant but also a therion and the Sovereign too. The energy overspill from both his Sovereign powers and the Consuming Claw are also harming Odin as much as it's empowering him, not to mention the cyber corruption he absorbed from the Titans.", Tails said. "Still, we'll be able to stop him and crown Yuito as Our Sovereign; after all, the cyber energy has got to be killing him.", Kagero said. "I don't think it is. I think he's actually managed to absorb the cyber energy and make it his own; not that it would particularly help.", Tsugumi said. "That won't help you, though.", I said as the darkness covered me, dispersing to reveal armour forged from dark red magma and a red demonic left arm. "There's no way.", Flynn said through Bahamut. "Oh, it is. You may kneel before me, Odin the Oppressor.", I said, dark energy coursing through my armour.
"Kneel before you? Don't make me laugh.", Diamant said, brandishing his axe. "Oh, you will if you want to survive.", I said, with Zantetsuken radiating a dark red aura. "If that's the case, then come! Claim Aionios as your prize!", Clive said through Ifrit as he rushed towards me, flying through the air with the help of two fiery wings. As if on cue, I rushed forward in turn towards Ifrit, dispelling Zantetsuken in favour of a giant dark red lance named Gungnir. Gripping the lance tight, I fired a thin red beam of darkness towards Ifrit who very narrowly dodged before using his wings of fire to speed up. "Resist all you might, the outcome will be the same.", I said, firing more beams of darkness that Ifrit dodged before I came into close range with him. Not missing a beat, I thrusted my lance forward, the pointy end entering Ifrit's chest as I fired a beam of point blank darkness though the Eikon's heart, the force pushing Ifrit back. Miraculously surviving, Ifrit then unleashed a giant orb of fire which I deftly deflected back. Sensing that disaster would strike, Ramuh called down another giant purple levinbolt, dispersing the orb. Suddenly, I was then struck by a golden lance of energy, Shadow having apparently recovered enough to keep fighting. Incensed at this, I then launched a beam of crimson darkness at Shadow that Nikol just managed to divert off course with his backpack, with Nikol firing a golden beam of energy to do so. "Still, the might of an Eikon is no joke.", Knuckles said. My anger now skyrocketing, I was then covered in another black and dark red aura, the energy warping Odin's form into something considerably more monstrous. "What's he turning into?", Ike asked. "I don't know, but it can't be anything good.", Kratos said, readying the Blades of Chaos. "I will destroy YHVH! I will! I will! I will!", I roared as the darkness skyrocketed, eventually dispersing to reveal my new form. And what a form it was, fusing together Giga Bowser from Super Smash Bros Melee, Grima from Fire Emblem Awakening, THE END SUPREME from Sonic Frontiers: The Final Horizon, Orochi from Senran Kagura and Calamity Ganon from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild; that is to say my mantle had been replaced by Giga Bowser's shell, Odin himself had turned into THE END SUPREME itself complete with its seven arms, Sleipnir had been replaced by Orochi that I had been fused to from the waist down, Grima itself had been partially absorbed into THE END SUPREME's body with Supreme's face replaced with Grima's own and Sheikah-technology infused Malice was covering my entire body, with Gungnir replaced by a giant orange and dark red mechanical sword and Ganon's red mane having formed around my head, not to mention my demonic left arm from activating my therion powers. My new body also greatly towered over the others, dwarfing even Titan. "What is this form?", Tails asked, terrified. "You may call me Odin the Dark Divinity.", I said, dark red energy leaking from my body. Turning to Sonic, Shadow said, "Sonic, do you know of a way to beat this monstrosity?". "Well, if I could transform into Super Sonic 2, then maybe I could stand a chance.", Sonic said. "But you'll need the Chaos Emeralds for that. And even if you could access the form, you could end up permanently succumbing to your cyber corruption.", Matthew said. "Still, that's a risk I need to take.", Sonic said. "In that case, we'll need to hold off Odin before you can transform into Super Sonic and tame your cyber corruption.", Revali said.
Meanwhile, Ifrit launched a furious flurry of giant fireballs that I countered easily with a spike of dark energy. "Just how angry are you?!", Tager asked through Titan. "That is of no concern. You just need to surrender and obey my every command.", I said whilst unleashing a giant storm of darkness. Flying over to Ifrit, Byleth said through Phoenix, "Clive, I think it is time we merged into Ifrit Risen. At least that way we would be able to hold off Odin until Super Sonic 2 can fight him.". "Byleth, I don't think even Super Sonic 2 will be enough. After all, we're not just talking about any Eikon but the Warden of Darkness, not to mention how said Warden of Darkness has transformed no less than 2 times already.", Clive said through Ifrit. "Still, it's worth a try.", Byleth said through Phoenix. Narrowly dodging a slash of dark energy, Clive said through Ifrit, "Well, considering the situation, I'd say we need to fuse now.". Phoenix and Ifrit then turned into a golden and red orb of energy respectively that then combined together. "No you don't!", I screamed, unleashing a giant orb of cyber energy that I launched at the two Wardens of Fire. Titan unleashed a giant sphere of earth to counter the dark red orb that I unleashed, destroying it. "You're not getting through.", Tager said through Titan as he raised a giant wall of earth; I then unleashed an even bigger sphere of cyber energy, throwing it at the giant wall. "DIEEEEEEEEE!", I roared. Suddenly, I saw two giant pillars of light pierce the virtual sky; a golden pillar from Sonic and an orange pillar from Phoenix and Ifrit. "YoU littLe piECes of SHiT! I wiLl kilL y0U! DIE! DIE! DiiIiiiEeeeee!", I roared as I unleashed the crimson cyber energy I absorbed from the Titans; in response to this, the two pillars of light dispersed, revealing Super Sonic and Ifrit Risen. "Alright, Sonic, let's go.", Byleth said through Ifrit Risen. "Likewise.", Super Sonic said as they rushed towards me. "Don't forget me!", Rex said, activating the Firelight Swords and rushing towards me; Shulk said, "Me too.", as he activated the Replica Monado EX+ and rushed forward as well. "If you want to die so eagerly, then go ahead!", I shouted, unleashing a giant beam of hellfire from my sword. The beam was then stopped by a giant beam of highly pressurised water that Corrin unleashed; this was followed by Ike unleashing a wave of blue fire from his sword Ragnell and Marth speeding forward with Mercurius in hand. Gathering energy in my body, I then unleashed a large beam of dark red energy that I breathed out like a dragon, the power easily defeating Sonic, Marth, Rex and Shulk and returning Sonic to his base form; his golden fur turning back to blue. "No!", Clive said through Ifrit Risen before Byleth said, "Clive, we need to press on.". "You're right.", Clive said, Ifrit Risen then forming two fiery swords- one resembling Clive's own sword Invictus and the other resembling the Sword of the Creator. "How cute, you think that the Warden of the Inferno and the Warden of Fire are enough to defeat me, a Super Eikon.", I said, unleashing a giant dark red fireball that Ifrit Risen destroyed easily.
As Marth, Sonic, Rex, Shulk and Ifrit Risen rushed towards me, I also noticed Garuda, Ramuh, Titan, Bahamut and Shiva following close behind them. Truly incensed at this, I rushed forward on my horse Sleipnir as I gripped Zantetsuken tight. Ifrit Risen then promptly unleashed a veritable onslaught of fireballs as Bahamut followed in kind, unleashing a storm of bright white bolts of energy. I deftly dodged the fireballs that Ifrit Risen had launched whilst slicing through the white bolts that Bahamut had launched; not to be outdone, Bahamut gathered a large amount of light in his body that caused him to glow with a radiant white and gold aura as a sphere of light energy formed in his mouth. Bahamut then fired the sphere of energy from his mouth as the aura faded, only for me to jump up (a rather hard feat to swallow given my increased size as Odin the Dark Divinity) and slash Zantetsuken down, creating a giant beam of black and dark red energy. This was promptly dispelled by energy that Revali had unleashed, followed by Daruk and Urbosa unleashing a giant dome of fire and electricity that Mipha launched using her control over water- in the sense that Mipha created a giant sphere of water to house the "dome" of fire and electricity and propelled it toward me. My body now covered in crimson darkness, I then unleashed several volleys of Wyvern's missiles (albeit accompanied by Supreme's drones shooting bolts of red energy alongside them) before firing a greater volley of dark red spheres that Sonic countered with several golden homing shots of light. Suddenly, Sonic's own body became covered in crimson cyber energy as well, with the crimson energy flowing into his own golden aura before bursting. The golden and crimson energies within Sonic caused his golden fur to glow even brighter, only for the glow to fade as his red eyes turned cyan. "Try all you might; even the power of Super Sonic 2 cannot defeat me, your Sovereign.", I said, forming both Zantetsuken and Gungnir in my hands as Super Sonic 2 gathered cyber energy in his body before attacking me with a glorious flurry of speedy attacks, the sheer velocity making it seem like there were multiple Sonics attacking me. I, of course, retaliated back with Zantetsuken and Gungnir, the sheer speed at which I was swinging the two weapons matching even Sonic's assault. Ifrit Risen then warped behind me, only for me to grab him with one of my extra 5 arms before throwing him into Super Sonic 2; the two then rushing at me again with increased velocity. Generating balls of crimson cyber energy in my 5 extra hands, I then fired the balls as 5 powerful beams of crimson cyber energy that even Sonic struggled to overpower. But alas, he did, glowing cyan in the process. As the glow faded, Sonic then unleashed a giant golden sphere that Ifrit Risen empowered with his fire. Sonic then threw the fiery sphere at me only for me to dispel the sphere with a single slash from Zantetsuken. Charging energy into Gungnir, I then unleashed a beam of darkness that Titan countered with a giant wall of earth; I caused the wall to disintegrate by dispelling Gungnir, empowering the beam even further.
As I gripped the sword I was holding tight, I then reverted back to my "base" Eikonic form, albeit now with a demonic left arm. "Damn. Guess I used up too much power.", I thought. But it was of no matter anyway; I then focused even more energy into Zantetsuken, causing the blade to turn crimson. "Any last words?", Clive asked through Ifrit Risen. "Shin Zantetsuken.", I said, unleashing an even stronger slash than before. "Wait, what did he just say?", Yumi asked through Shiva as the 6 Eikons were then overpowered by the crimson slash, with Ifrit Risen then separating back into Ifrit and Phoenix. Ifrit, Phoenix, Garuda, Ramuh, Titan, Bahamut and Shiva then fell back onto the ground, returning back to Clive, Byleth, Eunie, Shiden, Tager, Flynn and Yumi. "Shiden!", Kasane cried out in horror, rushing to his side. Wincing from the pain, Shiden said, "Kasane…don't. Run. Save yourself.". "No, I won't! I won't leave you to die!", Kasane desperately cried out, her eyes full of tears. Glaring at me, Alphen asked, "Why?! Why did you injure them so greatly?!". "That is nothing you should concern yourself with.", I said, charging Zantetsuken for another slash. "This is bad.", Byleth said, coughing up blood. Unleashing another Shin Zantetsuken slash, I then watched as the slash was dispelled by a giant beam of electricity. Returning to my human form, I watched as Eggman arrived in his Eggmobile. "That was certainly close.", Eggman said. "Indeed it was.", Zephia said, arriving shortly after. "Zephia, you bitch.", I said. "Well, I couldn't just watch as the New Dominants met their ends at the hands of one of their own.", she said. Looking over at my left arm which had turned into a black and dark red claw, Zephia then said, "Well, it looks like you've finally awakened. Your mother would be proud of you.". "That doesn't matter. What matters to me is stopping YHVH and destroying the Ascension Project; get in my way and I will kill you.", I said. "Edgy.", Marni said, walking out of a dark red portal, followed by Griss, Mauvier, Terumi and Metal Sonic.
Suddenly, I clutched my head in pain as dark red energy burst forth from my body. "What's up with him?", Griss asked. "No, that can't be!", Eggman said. "He's used too much cyber energy! He's become too corrupted and is now changing into something.", Futaba said. "Changing? Changing into what?", Noire asked. I then collapsed to my knees, my eyes turning from grey to red. "So what is he turning into?", Lanz asked. "I don't know myself!", Futaba replied. Seeing a hallucination of YHVH in the sky, I said, "You will die by my hand, YHVH! My hatred for you is unending, unyielding! Let Cyber Space be your grave!", before my hands turned into the claws of a dragon. This was followed by black leathery wings bursting out from my back and my face turning into that of a dragon's, before my body completely warped into the form of a black dragon with red eyes and dark red backwards-facing horns, towering over the gathered people. "What even is that giant dragon anyway?", Hubert asked. "Since you asked so nicely, I'll tell you. I am the Cyber Fell Dragon and you will die!", I said. Painfully rising from the ground, Clive then formed a blade of crimson hellfire in his right hand before the energy suddenly disappeared. "Wait, what?", Clive asked in disbelief. Looking at me, Lloyd asked, "What are you?". "That's simple- I'm the Sovereign.", I replied. "Wait, you were the Sovereign all along?", Dimitri asked. "Always have been.", I replied before unleashing a giant beam of crimson darkness from my mouth. The beam was dispelled by Ike unleashing another wave of blue fire from Ragnell before he collapsed. "Wait a minute. Is he unleashing void astral energy?", Yusuke asked, terrified. "No, void astral energy doesn't exist. I have a hunch but it seems that Jack is unleashing regular dark astral energy refined to such a degree that it looks like void energy.", Rinwell replied. "And how can he do such a thing?", Luke asked. "That's simple- through his Sovereign powers.", Rinwell replied. "Wait, he has Sovereign powers?", Chai asked. "No, not exactly. Jack wasn't necessarily born with Sovereign powers so much as he was born with a natural disposition towards all 4 types of Dahnan astral energy, being the third such person to even possess such a thing after Alphen and Vholran. It's what also makes him the rightful heir to the Sovereign Empire too.", Hanabi replied. "Wait, it's Jack who is the rightful heir to the Sovereign Empire and not Yuito?", Ryuji asked. "He always was.", Sigurd replied.
"Well, it's time for His Majesty's final test.", Eirika said, smiling. "Test? What test?", I asked, unleashing a giant wave of darkness that Micaiah dispelled with a simple flash of light. Suddenly, I returned to my human form again only for another burst of black and dark red energy to leak from my body. "That's it, Jack! Don't fight it; unleash it!", Arashi said with an excited smile on her face as my eyes turned golden. "I'll kill you! I'll fucking kill you!", I roared as the dark energy surrounded me and turned me into Odin again. My golden eyes then turned red as the dark energy burst out of control, with Clive once again priming into Ifrit as well. I roared as I rushed towards Ifrit, unleashing a giant burst of dark energy as Zantetsuken once again formed in my right hand. "DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!", I roared as the dark energy compelled me to violently beat down Ifrit as we met. As I repeatedly and violently stabbed Ifrit with Zantetsuken, I then felt a strange feeling of euphoria come over me causing me to laugh. The dark energy then warped Odin's body into a considerably more monstrous form composed entirely black and dark red energy which entered Ifrit's body forcing him to revert back to Clive who then writhed on the ground in pain as the dark energy covered and cocooned him; as if on cue, Odin himself transformed back into me, the Crest of the Sovereign in my right eye disappearing. Panting heavily, I then said, "Man, that did feel good.". Narrowly dodging a bolt of fire, I then asked, "What now?". "Why?", Hanabi asked, looking at the destruction. Forming Zantetsuken in my hand, I then turned my back to the gathered group as I cut open a portal to the Sacred Realm. "No you don't!", Revali said before his injuries caused him to wince and collapse to the ground. I then walked through the portal, ready to kill YHVH and end the nightmare.
The story continues in the next chapter…
