I read his stat sheet and raised a brow. 'He was a member of the Gold Owl?'
"What a reunion. It's so good to see you all here in the flesh." Rustyrose remarks.
"You have a lot of nerve showing up, you psycho." Cana growls.
"Even more considering what you've been up to." Mira adds as her face gains demon-like features.
"Yes. Well, I thought it'd be best to just get this out of the way and get started." Rustyrose admits as his gaze turns to me.
"What exactly do I have that supposedly belongs to you?" I ask.
"Several things, actually. One being the Chaos Emeralds you have in your possession. While the other," He turns his gaze to the women and licks his lips. "Are my queens."
Cana scoffs. "Dream on, creep. Besides, someone like you doesn't hold a candle to Asmodeus-kun."
"If you think you can just teleport us and force us under your thumb then you got another thing coming." Dark magic begins to resonate with Mirajane. "And if you even think of laying your filthy hands on my sister or any of my friends, I will RIP your dick and balls and shove them straight down your throat!"
"My body and soul belongs to Asmodeus-sama!" Brandish shouted.
"Indeed, even for a human, you couldn't be more pathetic." Seilah said in a monotone voice. "A worthless ant like you has no place in my heart."
"I serve one man and it's not YOU!" Lamy yelled.
"I prefer if my toys weren't so feeble-looking." Kyôka says while giving a quick glance at Asmodeus.
"I've been wanting to have a word with you when I heard you tried to kidnap Erza." Irene growled. "But now you have the audacity to claim we belong to you like we are your property?! Absolutely unforgivable! Only Asmodeus-sama has the right to say we belong to him!"
Ur transforms into her [Fairy Heart] form. "Rustyrose! Give me back my daughter, you sick bastard!"
'Geez! While I appreciate their commitments, do they really need to say that out loud!?' I thought.
[Look on the bright side at least, you gotta admire them for their steadfast determination and loyalty even under such dangerous circumstances. And it only supports the fact that you will have a very active love and sex life in the future~]
I guess you're right.
"Oh? I didn't recognize you at first because of your white hair, but your face tells me that you are Ultear's mother. The same woman my darling has been obsessed over almost all of her life." Rustyrose's smile widens. "I can't wait to add you to my collection."
Okay, that does it.
I transform into [Super Saiyan 2], surprising everyone else by its sheer power output.
'Amazing. And I can tell that this isn't even scratching the surface.' Kyôka thought in astonishment.
'Incredible.' Larcade thought.
Tempester's expression is a mix of shock and fear. '... he is strong.'
"Hoh? Are you that afraid I will steal Lady Ur away?" Rustyrose mockingly asks.
"... do you think you can stop me?" I asked.
"How arrogant. While that power of yours is impressive, yes, you stand no chance against the God of the Underworld himself." Rustyrose states with a smirk.
[Is that seriously what he's calling himself now?]
"Just die." I rush at him in a green blaze and throw my fist at his face.
Only for a cloaked figure to appear between us and catch my fist with their hand.
"!?" The stranger then lifts me up and throws me across the palace garden, but I manage to catch myself just before going over the edge.
"Let us end this charade." Rustyrose snaps his fingers and all of the cloaks dissipate, revealing who they all are underneath.
The first is Ultear, but she was different from the last time I saw her. She's taller for one, much taller than her mother, approaching 5'10, with an extremely voluptuous hourglass figure with J-cup breasts and an equally impressive ass. She's wearing the same outfit she wore during the Grand Magic Games: a tabard-like garment that exposes her back. The attire is open on both sides of her body except for a small attachment at her waist, and she dons long black boots that leave her upper thighs bare.
Not gonna lie, that has to be the hottest outfit she's ever worn.
Dimaria got the same treatment in terms of stature and physique. She wears a navy blue and gold skin-tight suit like the one she wore during the Alvarez war except this one has a boob window and the mark of Alvarez has been replaced with that of Grimoire Heart.
I almost did a double take because I thought Rusty had somehow made two clones of Lucy because they were eerily identical. One wears her blonde hair in a long ponytail and has side-swept bangs in front, with two strands of hair draped down the sides of her head. Her outfit consists of elegant blue and white robes with a high-collared cloak that pressed tightly against her K-cup breasts, along with a keyhole blouse and a long dress.
Her twin's outfit was more risque: a sexy royal blue bikini that proudly showed off the sexy curves and large K-cup breasts and impressive ass to the point she was practically a prime example of the expression "sex on legs".
The last two were an even bigger surprise because I wasn't expecting them here.
The first is another tall woman with long straight blonde hair that parts over her left temple, which she generally keeps tucked behind her ear. She has a figure that is a hybrid between an hourglass and an amazonian build, somehow being a perfect paradox combination of feminine curves and extremely lean and compressed muscles. Her massive K-cup breasts and ass somehow mixed well with her toned abdomen and legs. She wears a blue denim vest and skirt with a Red Ribbon logo on the back. She wears dark blue tights, a brown belt, brown boots, gray and gold fingerless gloves, and a black shirt that has white and black striped short sleeves.
The other one is more inhuman than the others. She is a humanoid female with pink skin and long bushy white hair with pointed ears and a tail accompanied by a pair of red eyes with black sclera. She wears a black tube top with the black arm sleeves and gold bracelets at the ends, black boots, and white baggy pants, all hugging her curvy figure and showing off her K-cup breasts and large ass.
However, one thing common among them is the Grimoire Heart symbol glowing on their foreheads signifying Rustyrose's ownership of their minds and bodies.

"Drimiria-chan!" Brandish yells out her friend's name.
Drimiria, however, stares blankly at her with dead eyes.
"Drimiria…" Brandish whimpers at the unsettling gaze.
"What do you think of my new "guildmates"? Are they not beautiful?" Rustyrose caresses Diamiria's cheek. "With my knowledge of [Alchemy] and the emerald's power, I was able to turn these already beautiful women into the perfect goddesses. My new Seven Sins of Purgatory, brides only worthy of a god such as myself."
[Wow, he took the concept of a God Complex and took it a step further. I'm both impressed and creeped out right now]
"So you rebuild your guild out of deceit and narcissism?" I surmised followed by a chuckle. "That… unbelievably pathetic."
The dark mage growls. "You're not all that different from me. So I don't see what the joke is."
"The JOKE, you narcissistic prick, is that you're a house of cards while I'm a fucking fortress." I told him. "My girls love me willingly while you have to use such disgusting methods just to have one of them sleep with you. The worst part is that you treat them like dressing dolls, changing their bodies to suit your liking."
[He has clearly let the power get to his head]
"They are whatever I want them to be. It's only natural for a god to do what he wants after all." Rustyrose dismissively states.
Ur, however, was past her boiling point.
"YOU BASTARD!" Ur roars, her Magic Power flaring violently. "I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR DICK AND MAKE YOU EAT IT!"
"Wait, are you telling me you plan to do THIS to all of us?!" Cana cringes in disgust at the imagery.
"If you even THINK of doing something like this to me, you will beg for a swift death before the day is done." Irene warns, her expression one of sheer hatred.
"You definitely have a death wish if you think you can do this or even attempt it and not expect consequences." Mira growled.
"How dare you turn Dimaria-chan into your doll?! I'm gonna erase you from existence!" Brandish angrily stated.
"Even though I am a demon, I cannot help but find your actions quite despicable." Seilah glares at the dark mage. "There is a special place in hell for people like you."
A massive wave of killer intent washes over the garden and surrounds everyone.
However, Rustyrose doesn't seem deterred by this one bit.
"Are you all done with your little speeches now?" His tone was dull and his expression annoyed. "You are all so annoying. I'll make sure to take that defiance out of you once this is over." He then gets an idea. "In fact, how about we start now?"
*CLICK!*
"!" Brandish looks down as Dimaria's backsword slowly cuts through her neck.
"[Payback Over Requiem: The World]!"
Time stops on command as I rush towards Dimiria with a flying kick only for the woman to twist her body around to avoid the kick before raising her sword up to cut my leg, only to bounce off thanks to my [Aura].
'I knew it. She can move in this frozen world just like me.' I thought.
I raise my hand and fire a ki shot at Dimaria, sending her flying as the time-stop ends.
The brainwashed shield lands next to Rustyrose, who glares daggers straight at me.
"I do have one question," I lower my hand. "How did you manage to locate this place?"
Rustyrose smirks. "That's simple, you took the bait."
"... Cell." I said in realization.
"Yes." He pulls out a small bird-like doll from his coat pocket. "I knew that after giving him new power it would only be a matter of time before he betrayed me, so I had this little darling spy on him during his mission. But that wasn't how I found you." He puts the doll away. "I tracked you through Cell's ki. Unlike yours, Cell makes no effort in concealing it even though he could."
My eyes widen at the reveal. "You can track ki?"
"Of course. Although his God Ki made it difficult at first, it was child's play once I found a way around it." Rustyrose states.
"And I'm guessing that's how you were able to track everyone down and brainwash them." I said, eyeing the six women.
"Why yes. The stronger they are, the easier it is to pick up their energy. Though I was surprised when I first saw Ultear." Rustyrose remarks as he reminisces of their meeting.
Flashback
Rustyrose looks baffled as he stands in front of a small cottage and on the front door is a small elderly woman.
"Who knew that small old woman living in a remote village was once the most wanted dark mage in the world. To say that I was disgusted by the sight was an understatement." Destruction quickly follows and Rustyrose is seen dragging Ultear by her hair, heavily injured. "She was stubborn, but in the end, I was victorious."
The scene then cuts to a lab as the dark mage works on Ultear, who's fully aware and screaming her lungs out through the whole process.
"It took some work, granted, to restore her to the way she was. All the while she would keep screaming and screaming as I worked on her. Hmph, what an ungrateful harlot."
The scene then switches to show a burning field as Rustyrose walks away carrying an unconscious and bloodied Dimaria on his right shoulder.
"Finding Dimaria was easy too, since she was working as a farmer in the countryside. Her beautiful and fierce warrior splendor was replaced with the ugly visage of a dirty commoner. It was a sight I couldn't bear to fathom, the mere idea made me cringe with disgust.
The perspective changes to a large glass tank as Rustyrose silently watches Dimaria getting thrown in, before hundreds of mechanical cables rise from underneath and pierce through every part of her body and electrocute her, making her scream in pain.
"Though I suppose that was fortunate since I would not have been able to capture her otherwise."
Flashback ends
"What about the Lucy lookalikes? How did they come to be?" Cana asked, although she was beginning to dread asking.
Because Rustyrose smiled.
"Anna Heartfilia was easy to find." He began. "After the defeat of Acnologia, the conceptual power of the [Space Between Time] did not vanish from the world, but instead transferred into Anna because of her apparent high exposure to it when she first traveled through the Eclipse Gate. Her power was as dazzling as the Sun itself, and when you add the fact that she was completely vulnerable in a school teaching children, it wasn't even a minor challenge." Rustyrose arrogantly boasted. "The other woman, Layla Heartfilia, had died years prior, but through a combination of magic, [Alchemy] and [Chaos Energy], bringing her back was as simple as breathing. I simply wished to have the best of the Heartfilia family before I claim Lucy for myself as well."
Mira and Cana were appalled and disgusted by the explanation.
"Y-You…" Mira couldn't find the words. Her aura shifts violently as her last restraints are fading away.
"Did you seriously bring back Lucy's mother just for the sake of your sick fantasies?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Cana yelled in an outraged tone.
"Anything I desire automatically belongs to me. It is simply elementary, my dear." Rustyrose arrogantly declares.
Brandish's face twists into rage as her [Aura] and [Magic] flares out of control.
"How dare you…!? How dare you desecrate Layla-sama's memory like this!? You sick fuck! I knew I should have killed you when I had the chance!" Brandish roars in anger.
After learning the truth from Aquarius, she made peace with Lucy and the Heartfilia family as a whole.
To see Layla, her mother's best friend, brought back and used as a sex toy, filled her with absolute rage. She saw this as the ultimate desecration to her mother's memory, and she'll do everything to make this rat pay dearly.
"Something tells me he'd soon gone after us to have a matching set." Irene whispers to Ur, both increasingly disgusted at learning the depths of Rustyrose's depravity.
"What about the androids? How did you get a hold of them?" I asked.
"The blonde one was easy to get. She was just lying on the ground and I picked her up." Rustyrose does the anime glasses pose. "I took her to my lab and began to work on her. Cell was kind enough to give me the designs for two different android types: Infinite Energy and Energy Absorption. From there I perfected the designs, and with an infusion of Cell's DNA, I created the ultimate hybrid of Infinite Energy, Absorption, and Bio-engineering."
I narrowed my eyes.
"As for the pink one," Rustyrose begins to laugh. "My apologies, just thinking about it makes me laugh."
Flashback
Rustyrose finds a hidden lab and finds a capsule with a person inside.
"While exploring Cell's universe, I decided to explore one of its many timelines. Cell once told me that in his original timeline there was no Android 16, yet the one he ended up in did. So that made me think about other alternate timelines, and in one of them I found this particular morsel."
Rustyrose opens the capsule and is greeted by the sight of a gorgeous and incredibly sexy woman with long blushy brown hair and wearing a pair of hoop earrings, a sleeveless, short blue and red checker pattern high-neck minidress with opaque black tights, a white lab coat, and blue (left foot) and red (right foot) ankle heel boots with gold tips.
She opens her eyes, revealing them to be a beautiful light blue like 18's, and looks at Rustyrose with child-like curiosity.
"She was so thankful when I awakened her, and started asking me about the outside world. Apparently, she has been in that capsule for ten years and was not allowed to be activated for another twenty. She warned me it was because the cells in her body were too unstable and could go out of control at any given moment." Rustyrose states. "I, however, provided her with an alternative."
He shows the android his emerald and tells her what it does. "I told her that the emerald could grant her full control of the cells within her and enhance her mind, that way she could finally live the life she always dreamed of."
21 starts crying tears of happiness and Rustyrose smiles.
The emerald's light shines, blinding the hidden cavern and engulfing everything.
When it dies down, 21 is unconscious on the floor, and Rustyrose smiles in victory.
"I gave her what she wished for, and I got another beautiful doll for my growing collection."
Flashback ends
"So you tricked her." I surmised.
"She asked for my help and, like any gentleman, I assisted her. It's not my fault she took it so blindly." He argued.
"Well, I hope you got room for one more." Everyone looks up as Cell slowly makes his descent.
"Cell, how kind of you to join us." Rustyrose politely said.
"Spare me your nonsense. I should have realized there was a double meaning to your little fetch quest." Cell spat.
"The Chaos Emeralds were always my main priority. Besides, having Androids 18 and 21 by my side makes you…" A sadistic grin forms on his face. "...obsolete."
Cell's body shines brightly as he transforms into his platinum form.
"You're going to regret calling me obsolete, you little shit. I'm gonna enjoy killing you." Cell snarls, not even hiding his animosity anymore.
"Hmph." Rustyrose just huffs at the threat.
"Cell, I know you don't like it but we need to work together in order to defeat the androids." I told him.
"No way! I will teach these blow-up dolls who the TRUE Perfect Lifeform is." Cell snaps back.
"Don't be an idiot, Cell! These two are beyond you! I know you can sense it! We have to work together!" I argued.
"Tch! Fine, but the pink one's mine!" Cell grunted, finally giving in.
"Torafuzar." I called out.
"Yes?" He asked.
"I need you, Lamy, Tempester, and Kyôka to go inside and secure the altar." I ordered.
The Calamity demon just narrows his eyes. "If you think I'll obey you then-"
*WOOSH!*
The demon stops as a purple spike appears and narrowly stabs him in the eye.
"I don't CARE. You will follow my orders, Tempester, or I'll just kill you where you stand!" I proclaim as a dark aura blends with my super form. "And when I do kill you, I will devour your soul. You will be stuck in my gut as I slowly eat away at your very being with no hope of escaping." I slowly turn to Tempester causing the demon to flinch. "You will go mad as you beg me for a release that will never come. Now, you will do as I say or else. Clear?"
"C… clear." Tempester stammers in fear.
"Now go." The Etherious in question all run inside.
"The rest of you will deal with the other brainwashed girls." I said. "Brandish, use [Copy] to nullify Dimaria's [Âge Seal] so everyone isn't a sitting duck! Cana and Larcade can help you."
"Understood." Brandish acknowledges.
"You got it, Azzy!" Cana says as she changes to her [Fairy Heart] form.
"I will do my best." Larcade said.
"Ur. I need you and Seilah to deal with Ultear. And Irene, I need you and Mirajane to subdue the Heartfilias and Rustyrose, but be careful, as they are more dangerous than they look." I warned them.
The four women nod.
"I got a little something for you all." I raise my hand and conjure seven energy orbs and they all fly towards everyone.
Larcade stares at the orb curiously. "What is this?"
"Just hold it. It'll do the rest." I told him.
Larcade grabs the orb and watches as it instantly sinks into his palm.
"!" Suddenly Larcade feels his magic shoot through the roof! He feels more powerful than ever! More powerful than his father or Acnologia together!
Rustyrose watches in shock as everyone's power gets a massive boost, almost equal to his own.
"What is this!? What have you done!?" Rustyrose demands.
"Oh nothing. Just a concoction of [Chaos Energy] and [Sage Dragon Slayer] magic, no biggie." I replied lazily. "What? Did you think you were the only one who could pull that trick? And here I thought you came here prepared."
"That's… not fair! You cheated!" Rustyrose exclaims.
"Tough, bitch. You should know that I never play fair." I told him. "Plus, who knows what kind of shit you gave these brainwashed girls? Because I can tell they are a LOT stronger than ever before!"
Rustyrose grits his teeth in anger.
Quest Alert!
Quest: Defend the Stronghold!
Defend your base from the New Seven Sins of Purgatory
Objective: Defeat the New Seven Sins of Purgatory
Bonus Objective: Free the girls from Rustyrose's brainwashing (0/6)
Reward: 654,788 EXP, 601,237 Credits, Items, Skill, Legendary Gacha Tokens
"Kill them!" Rustyrose yells.
The girls move.
Cell and I charge forward at the Android girls, delivering our strongest punches causing the two girls to be sent flying out of the palace gardens and we fly after them.
Cell holds one of his hands in front of him with the other hand supporting it and fires a large purplish-pink energy wave or energy sphere at Android 21.
21 sees this and cups her hands together and pulls them to the side before firing a large pink Kamehameha straight at Cell's attack.
The two beams collide but 21's quickly pierces through Cell's attack and travels straight for him.
"!" Cell quickly uses Instant Transmission to dodge the incoming attack as it travels straight for the base!
"No!" I use [Duplicate] and a clone quickly appears and dashes straight for the stray beam.
The clone holds his hands out and activates the [Preda Path], absorbing the energy beam easily and disappearing.
I sigh before I raise my arms to block the incoming kick from 18.
Cell and 21 exchange lightspeed blows, creating massive shockwaves that ripple across the void.
However, neither of them were able to land a blow against the other. Their blows were precise, each punch calculated by their strength and speed. From an outside viewpoint, the two bio-androids seemed evenly matched.
However, this was further from the truth.
'How… how is she this strong!?' A frustrated Cell mentally screams out as he dodges 21's attacks.
Sadly, this moment was all 21 needed as she saw an opening and punched Cell straight through his solar plexus.
"Guahh!" Cell vomits purple blood, but the pain doesn't deter him.
He grabs 21's arm, surprising the mind-controlled bio-android.
"Got you." Cell raises his other arm and uses his ki to form an energy blade before bringing it down and cutting her arm off.
21 pulls back as Cell removes the arm from his abdomen and throws it into the void before.
The two androids regenerate their wounds with ease as they stare at one another.
"I don't know who you are, and frankly, I don't care. But don't think for a SECOND that you're my better!" Cell's silver aura intensifies. "I am the TRUE Ultimate Android! The perfect fusion of the universe's greatest warriors! Cell exclaims as he funnels more power. "And I REFUSE to be beaten by a PUPPET ON STRINGS!"
Cell once again charges against Android 21, though now with a notable increase in power. The Saiyan's ability to grow stronger through intense emotions and the [Chaos Energy] already within Cell stimulated by his desire to defeat his opponent and become stronger to prove himself.
Android 21, however, did not have such an advantage due to Rustyrose's brainwashing, and as such their fight began to gradually shift in Cell's favor.
She starts to lose her ground, slowly becoming unable to parry all of Cell's blows until she is eventually overwhelmed with a rain of punches.
Cell goes for an elbow and knee combo before putting his hands together and bashes her in the head, sending careening towards the bottom.
"It's over!" Cell throws both of his arms open, hands held vertically and fingers wide while gathering ki. He then straightens his arms to form a sphere of energy in the space between the palms of each hand that emits sporadic bolts of electric white ki that shoot out in all directions.
Everyone stops as they turn to the bright silver light on the horizon.
21 gets her bearings as she turns to look, but is too late.
"FINAL FLASH!" Cell unleashes a massive silver beam with electric ki streaming around it towards 21.
Said Android has no time to react as she is completely swallowed by the massive beam as it continues to travel downward, leaving a stream of silver light until it is no longer visible.
Cell looks at the abyss below with an annoyed look on his face.
"Tch. For a puppet, she sure is stubborn, I'll give her that." Cell remarks, having picked up her faint energy. "At least, she won't trouble us for now."
The perspective changes to show an unconscious 21, her body riddled with burns and scrapes. Her white pants were burned, showing off bits of her black panties, and her black tube top also has light burns.
I dodge 18's powerful punches and kicks, although some manage to scrape my [Aura] but it wasn't enough to cause true damage.
'If I remember correctly, Energy Absorption Androids need to absorb energy to function. But as a hybrid android, that drawback is likely completely voided and now simply adds power to increase hers.' I thought as I parried more of her blows. 'I know there is a weakness to this, but what is it!?' I grit my teeth. "Dammit! I shouldn't have dismissed GT so flippidly!"
[If we can't hit her with energy, then we'll just beat her with our strength]
I open my pocket dimension and summon [Gorehowl] into my hand.
"Let's go." I rush towards 18.
Super 18 raises both of her hands and charges two pink energy spheres before firing many smaller pink blasts at me.
I grip my ax and twirl it in front of me, deflecting the incoming barrage as I continue undeterred.
18 tries to raise her hands to catch the ax blade, but they simply slice through them the moment they come into contact.
The Fusion Android opens her mouth and fires a large ki beam at me, prompting me to jump away from her.
I can't help but be annoyed as I watch her hands regenerate instantly.
'That instant regeneration is gonna be tricky. I need to think of something.' I thought.
I dismiss [Gorehowl] and clap my hands together, activating the [Asura Path] and sprouting four extra arms, making the total to be six.
From each palm, six black orbs appear and they shape shift into four black swords.
I once again go on a barrage of attacks against 18. The Android tries to dodge and block my attacks, but the fact that she has to deal with 6 attacks simultaneously made dodging impossible and blocking ultimately proved to be a mistake when I cut off one of her hands, which failed to regenerate due to the nature of the [Truth-Seeking Orbs].
Upon realizing how dangerous the situation was, Android 18 tried to back away to flee, only for her to be stopped by a wall of [Dark Matter].
"This is for your own good, 18. [Universal Pull]!" I shout, causing the Android to be pulled towards me as I readied my weapons.
Android 18 fires another barrage of Ki blasts with her remaining hand in the hopes of stopping her momentum and defeating me, but then I immediately have all six swords come together and transform into a barrier to absorb all her attacks.
Upon dispelling the barrier, I had my 4 mechanical arms hold the brainwashed Android in place, effectively restraining her.
"Stop moving already!" I karate-chop her on the back of her neck and she falls limp. "Sorry, but you left me no choice."
[So, now what do we do with her?]
"I think I might have something." I use the [Naraka Path] and summon the King of Hell, its head rising from a literal hole in reality.
Its Rinnegan eyes stare at me for a moment before it opens its massive mouth and I throw the unconscious Android into it before it sinks back into the void.
"Now, to get back to the others." I said as I made a beeline back to the [Ruby Palace].
"Ultear, please wake up!" Ur pleads to her daughter as she and Seilah dodge another of Ultear's time based spells.
Fighting Ultear proved to be quite more challenging than anticipated. Asmodeus' words rang true, her daughter was enhanced, modified, with more abilities that she has never seen. Not only can she use [Arc of Time], but also a variety of different spells as well as [Curses] were thrown into the mix.
Seilah used her [Curses] on Ultear, but all of them were nullified thanks to her variant of [Copy] which seemingly allows her to negate any form of attack.
The two manage to find a work around by infusing their attacks with [Aura] and [Chaos Energy] allowing them to deal real damage, but this only manages to slow her down for a while before attacking again.
"This isn't good. Ultear is tanking our attacks like their nothing, and she won't let us get any closer." Ur states.
Ultear uses [Arc of Embodiment] to fire multiple swords at the girls, but they manage to dodge them all.
"Dammit…" Ur growls under her breath.
"... but I may have a way."
Ur turns to her ally. "What?"
"I may have figured out a weakness to her power, but in order to exploit it, you need to keep her distracted." Seilah elaborates.
"Leave it to me! I got your back!" Ur replies back and Seilah disappears from sight.
The ascension ice mage takes a deep breath and fires a torrent of black flames. "[Fire God's Bellow]!"
The attack launches towards the brainwashed mage, who stops it with a wall of Ice Magic. However, she looks up to see Ur flying over the ice wall and landing in front of her.
"Ultear, I truly am sorry for not being there for you for all those years, and I honestly don't deserve to be your mother." Ur tells her daughter with a determined expression. "So let me be there for you now!"
Ur immediately uses her [Ice Devil Slayer] magic to manipulate the ice wall behind her into a sword via [Ice-Make] magic.
Ultear immediately intercepted the attack with an [Ice-Make] sword of her own.
"I know you went through so much pain while I was gone." Ur told Ultear. "But I don't want you to suffer from my failures and mistakes. You are an extraordinary woman, Ultear, far better than me, and you deserve so much better for a mother. Which is why my friends and I will save you!"
The mother and daughter rush towards each other with ice swords that are as hard as steel and collide.
The two jump back but Ur quickly takes the initiative and goes for the offensive, bringing her sword down on her daughter who quickly blocks with her own.
She then proceeds to kick Ur in the stomach and charges at her with a barrage of quick stabs. Ur manages to parry some, with her [Aura] absorbing most of the damage.
'She's not giving me any room to move. I need to think of something…' Suddenly, an idea came to mind. 'I got it!'
"[Ice Devil's Laughter]!" Medium-sized ice shards appear and rain down on them.
Ultear senses this and moves out just as ice shards come down, seemingly burying Ur under them.
However, this wasn't the case as not long after Ur flew out of the ice and towards her daughter.
Ultear uses [Tenga Goken] and turns both of her arms into sharp violet blades and charges at her mother.
However, just before they can make contact, ice suddenly bursts out from under Ultear's feet, encasing her entire body in ice with the exception of her head.
Ur grabs her face and looks at her directly in the eyes.
"Ultear, I know you're in there! Wake up!" Ur begs as cracks form all over the ice
Ultear's eyes widen slightly and a single, stray tear rolls down her left eye.
"Ultear…" Tears of happiness roll down Ur's face, knowing she's making progress. "I'll save you, just hold on."
The ice prison breaks and Ultear quickly jumps away to make some distance.
"[Fire God's Kagutsuchi]!" Ur yells, charging a torrent of black flames as she charges towards her daughter.
Ultear uses water magic in the hopes of extinguishing the flames, but then Ur jumps out of the flames with a black scythe in her hands.
"[Fire God's Scythe]!" Ur yells, however, Ultear was faster and plunges her sword into her chest.
Only for her sword, and Ultear, to phase through Ur like mist.
Ultear begins to look around for Ur, but can't seem to find her anywhere.
"[Ice Devil's Rage]!" The time mage turns only for her body to be suddenly frozen once again.
Ultear soon melts the ice but stops as she is suddenly tackled and embraced by Ur.
"Just stop, sweetheart. I'm not going to let you go." Ur states, causing her daughter to stop moving.
Suddenly, a collar made of ice suddenly appears on Ultear's neck and she immediately loses consciousness, but Ur catches her as she leans towards the ground.
"It's done. Ultear is incapacitated." Seilah reappears beside her. "To be honest, I didn't think it would work."
"Could you fill me in on just what you did?" Ur asks.
"As you are aware, [Magic] and [Curses] did not work against your daughter. Even the added power [Semblance] did not have any results." Seilah began. "But that's when I noticed something crucial about how her powers work: she is only able to nullify attacks the moment they come in range of her senses. It explains why my power didn't work, since it dispelled the moment she became aware of it." She continues. "So, if she were to focus solely on a single opponent, then she wouldn't be able to negate the other's magic."
"So you used me as bait." Ur said.
"Regardless, my plan worked in the end and now you have your daughter back." A rare smile forms on Seilah's face. "So much for his 'perfect goddesses'."
Ur glares at the demon girl, it's sometimes hard to forget that she isn't human.
With a sigh, Ur picks up her daughter and the two walk off to get to the others.
Brandish grunts, struggling to maintain her footing and concentration at what's happening in front of her.
A large white energy beam collides with a green barrier with bits of it clipping away from the strain.
From the other end, Dimaria's constant dead look remained unchanged as she fired the beam from both her hands.
Her appearance has also changed, now her entire body is cloaked in shadow, with only her jaw being visible. In the darkness of the upper part of her face, two small, bright discs are all that denote her eyes. The region of her body below her neck is marked with ethereal lines, which streak across her body in various patterns, either wrapping themselves around her frame or forming closed figures reminiscent of the head of a typical clock hand. The patterns are arranged symmetric to her torso's central axis. Her hair also lengthens significantly, but does not lose its wavy nature.
"Ugh…!" Brandish feels her body slowly being pushed back while Cana transfers some of her power into her.
"Shit! Even in this form, it's still not enough!" Cana exclaims. "Was this bitch always this strong!?"
"She was one of father's shields for a reason. Though I will admit, the beam is new." Larcade remarks.
"Thanks for the update, jackass!" Cana barks. "At least try and do something!"
"I am afraid I would not be of any use to you. When it comes to Dimaria, I am nothing short of useless." Larcade states.
"Ugh, you're useless!" Cana yells out.
"Will you two stop yelling already!?" Brandish's voice was hoarse and desperate. "We need to figure something out!"
Whatever that leecher did to Dimaria made her a monster. Not only was she able to manipulate time and use [Take-Over: God Soul], but she demonstrated the usage of Fire, Lightning, and Sky God Slayer Magic, and had also demonstrated a usage of illusion magic in conjunction with her time magic, which made hitting the elusive Spriggan all the more challenging.
The only reason they were still alive is because of Brandish's [Copy] magic nullifying almost all of her skills. However, once she assumed her Take Over, Brandish felt her magic being blocked like she crashed into a steel wall.
The trio try to think of another way, but Dimiria fires a beam of [Chaos Energy] at them, forcing Brandish to use her own reservoir of said power to protect them but it's proving to be increasingly difficult.
'How…? Asmodeus-sama's power boost should have been more than enough. How are we struggling against her!?' A confused Brandish exclaims as she can't wrap her head around it.
"It is obvious that whatever Rustyrose did to her, made her exceedingly powerful. I believe she is meant to be one of his strongest fighters." Larcade surmises.
*CRACK!*
The trio watch as more cracks appear all over the barrier.
"... if physical strength is a problem, Larcade, then let me help rectify it." Brandish turns and raises her hand to the White Dragneel. "Take my hand, now."
*CRACK!*
"Quickly! I can't keep going like this with only one hand!" Brandish yelled.
Larcade takes her hand and immediately feels a sudden surge of energy entering his body, festering and growing inside him.
He can feel the different types of magic, their knowledge and applications becoming instinctual to him just like breathing air.
And then, he starts to glow, enveloping everyone in the light.
"..." Dimaria stares at the light slightly confused and starts to put more power into the beam.
However, she soon jumps away as a black projectile comes flying towards her at crazy speeds before crashing to the other side of the garden with a loud cracking sound soon following.
A goat's hoof appears followed by a goat's leg with white fur.
The view changes to reveal Larcade Dragneel, but with a different appearance. While he retains his original human appearance, he now has eight golden wings sprouting from his back and a pair of goat legs instead of human legs as well as a pair of red horns on top of his head with its tips facing back.
His outfit has also changed, now wearing golden shoulder pads and skirt with a wing motif instead of his robes.
Larcade looks at his hands, power brimming in his fingertips. "Incredible… simply incredible."
Dimaria, sensing the incredible energy, begins to exert more chaos power in order to exceed it.
She launches herself forward and punches Larcade, creating a sonic boom that can be seen from far away.
However, it's revealed that the sonic boom wasn't caused by Dimaria's punch, but from Larcade catching the punch with his right hand.
"!" Even Dimaria was shocked.
Larcade pulls her towards him and delivers a strong blow right at her chest. He doesn't stop as he begins to deliver fast consecutive hits with a force strong enough to shatter a mountain a hundred times over before kicking her away.
"Such monstrous strength… and to think I haven't come close to exerting myself. Truly, this is the world of the strong." Larcade remarks.
Dimaria catches herself and soon rushes towards her opponent.
Larcade takes one step forward and propels himself at astonishing speeds, pulling his arm back with a large grin on his face.
The two forces collide, creating a large crater as a result of their clash.
Cana looks completely baffled. One moment they were cornered and now they're on equal footing.
"Wow, what a turnabout." She then turns to an exhausted Brandish. "What did you do to him?"
"I took a page out of Asmodeus-sama's book and gave him a gift," Brandish wheezes between breaths. "Though unlike Asmodeus-sama, mine isn't permanent."
"Hold on." Cana kneels next to her and starts giving her some of her energy. "What kind of gift lets him do that?"
"Simple: different forms of magic." Brandish revealed, causing Cana's eyes to widen. "I had to give him a form of Time Magic to ensure Dimaria-chan's [Âge Seal] wouldn't work, so I gave him the [Arc of Time]. I also gave him [Fire God Slayer] Magic to counter the effects of her God Soul form. And thanks to Asmodeus-sama giving it to me after Aldoron was defeated, I was even able to give him Acnologia's magic, so he can consume all her attacks!"
"What?! Acnologia's Magic?!" Cana gasps. "Are you sure it was a good idea to give him that?! What if he uses it against us afterwards?!"
"Larcade swore his loyalty to Asmodeus-sama, and even if he broke his word, I have faith Asmodeus-sama could stop him." Brandish spoke in a reassured tone. "He was able to beat Acnologia after all, at least 3 times in fact! And we both know Asmodeus-sama is not only far stronger than any of us can imagine, but he can also do the impossible!"
"True enough, let's just hope this works," Cana says as she looks back at the fight. "By the way, why does he look like that? He looks like a demon, an oddly beautiful one at that."
"That's because he's an Etherious much like Bloodman, a demon the emperor created." Brandish reveals.
Cana gives the greenette a skeptic look. "Is there anyone in Alverez who isn't a monster?"
"Well, there's me and Dimaria for a start. Although now, I guess that designation doesn't fit us anymore." Brandish said.
The two girls are slightly pushed back by multiple sonic booms.
"Cana-chan, we should use this opportunity to prepare our next move. Even with this power, it's unlikely Larcade can beat Dimaria-chan with whatever she may still be hiding, and he can't last forever." Brandish warned.
"Well, I'm open to suggestions!" Cana said.
Larcade is pushed back by the shockwave.
"Ugh." Larcade begins to gather dark magic into his hands before straightening his arms as a black orb forms in the space between them.
"[Void Dragon King's Death Ball]!" He fires the black orb at Dimaria at high speeds.
Dimaria fires an energy beam from her fingers at the energy sphere only for it to simply vanish the moment it comes into contact.
Seeing that the death ball isn't stopping, Dimaria tries to push it back using telekinesis.
"No, you don't!" Larcade raises his hand and forces the orb forward, causing the two to be trapped in a stalemate.
"Rargh!" Larcade uses every last bit of his willpower to push the orb an inch further until it is right in front of Dimaria.
"!" Dimaria can do nothing as the orb touches her skin and it immediately enlarges, swallowing her as well as the surrounding area.
Larcade's transformation wears out as he lets out a tired sigh and lowers his hand. He is victorious at last.
*CRACK!*
Larcade looks up to cracks of light beginning to spread all across the black sphere until it explodes into black glass-like shards.
When Larcade could once again see after the explosion subsided, his eyes widened upon looking at Dimaria again.
Dimaria's appearance had changed once again. She still resembled her God Soul form, but the pitch black parts of her body were now a pure white, and energy wings appeared from her back, granting an appearance resembling a fusion of Dimaria's God Soul form and the Fairy Heart form used by Cana and Ur.
"It cannot be." Larcade muttered in shock, before he was suddenly blown by the force of the shockwave caused by a sudden impact to his abdomen.
Larcade is sent flying, but feels something soft colliding with his back stopping the momentum.
"Geez, what a copycat!" Cana remarks at Dimaria's new form.
Larcade looks at his former enemy. "... you saved me. Why?"
Cana gives the Etherious a confused look. "Why? You mean you haven't figured it out? It's because you're part of the team! Our friend!"
Larcade's eyes widened in surprise. A friend? She called him her friend. He never had a friend before. The closest thing he had to friends were the Spriggan 12, but they were all acquaintances at best.
"... I see." A perplexed Larcade said, his mind still trying to figure it out.
The two land on the ground but they are immediately drawn towards Dimaria as they feel a massive surge of magical power coming from her.
The environment begins to ripple as the rocks and grass around them begins to evaporate in nothing.
"Oh no, is she insane!?" Larcade exclaims, having figured out what she's doing.
"This is just like back in Magnolia." Cana comments, remembering the same thing happening during the Alvarez war.
"This is [Ars Magia], it's the Wizard King's most powerful spell. It is capable of destroying an entire country at the cost of the caster's own body." Larcade reveals. "And with [Fairy Heart] in her possession, there's no telling what kind of damage she's capable of."
They watch as Dimaria's skin begins to crack under the pressure of her power.
"Any ideas on how to stop her?" A scared Cana asks the white Etherious.
"Magical attacks won't work on her at this point. We need to find something to find a way to nullify it. " Larcade said.
At that moment, pink energy chains wrap around Dimaria and cancel out the spell along with her Taker Over.
"!" The two turn to see an exhausted Brandish walking towards them.
"Hurry…! I can't do this much longer!"Brandish told them.
Cana nods. "Got it! Thanks!"
The two begin to gather magical power and combine it with [Chaos Energy].
Larcade raises his right arm high as a magic circle appears under him. He holds out his index finger as it collects magical energy before lowering his arm and pointing his finger at Dimaria.
"[Fairy Glitter]!"
"[Dragon Slayer Secret Art - Eternal Might: Nature Fury]!"
The two attacks travel across the battlefield at insane speeds, their energy merging together as it reaches its target.
*BOOM!*
A massive explosion swallows up Dimaria and when the smoke dissipates, they find her on the floor unconscious.
"It's… over." Brandish collapses on the spot.
"Man… this was intense." Cana's transformation disappears as she falls to her knees.
Larcade looks at both Brandish and Cana as he becomes lost in thought.
"Friends… huh…" Larcade mutters to himself.
"Guah!" Mirajane screams as she falls to the ground, her body racking in pain.
Irene clutches her bleeding side as she glares at Rustyrose laughing at their sorry state with the two Heartfilia women by his side.
"Did you think you had a chance against me!? You two can barely hold me off!" Rustyrose mocks them.
"That's your slaves doing all of the fighting! You… haven't done a single thing!" Mira rebuttals.
"Heh." Irene smirks while wincing in pain. "As expected from a coward like you."
Rustyrose glares at them with visible anger. "You DARE accuse me of cowardice!?"
Anna charges in and quickly grabs Irene by her neck before lifting her up.
"Guh!" Irene struggles to break free from Anna's vice grip but all that does is for the brainwashed mage to put more strength into it.
"NO!" Mira stands up and begins to channel [Chaos Energy].
*CRACK~*
"Agh!" She suddenly collapses and begins coughing profusely. "What… why can't I transform?"
"Fascinating. I didn't think it was possible for a living creature to be a natural container of [Chaos Energy], though it seems you have pushed your limit." Rustyrose remarks as he states intensely at the She-Devil. "The alchemists of Gold Owl tried everything to tap into the emerald's power, only for the test subjects to die after just under an hour. That's when I realized that the emerald's power can only be used by beings of exceptional strength, something that everyone in the guild lacked."
"And you think I'm not strong enough to handle it?" Mira scoffed.
"Oh no, no, no. You are very strong, that cannot be denied." He said. "But you likely didn't put much effort in mastering this kind of power so you could use it without issue. Instead, you chose to fool around, letting your victory against a Dragon God get to your head." His expression's riddled with disappointment. "You may have power, but that power is a muscle. And like any muscle, it decreases in size and strength once you stop using it."
Mira tries to stand but soon falls back down. "Don't underestimate me…!"
"But do not fret, my dear. Once this is over, I will fix that issue along with anything that I may find." Rustyrose assures her as he walks towards Mira.
"No… stop…" Mira struggles to move only for a shadow to eclipse her.
"There is no point in resisting." Rustyrose raises his hand towards her. "I am… inevitable."
Mirajane watches with clear panic as the dark mage's hand slowly moves towards her eyes.
'Somebody… Help me…!'
*BOOM!*
"!" The two turn to the sound of something crashing in front of them, creating a huge cloud of dust.
From the dust, a silhouette is seen growing more visible and it's revealed to me Asmodeus.
"You!?" Rustyrose exclaims in shock.
Tears of happiness roll off Mirajane's face. "Asmodeus!"
Irene slowly turns her neck as her eyes manage to lock on the familiar visage.
"As… modeus… sama…" Irene choked out.

"..." I narrow my eyes as I turn my gaze forward.
I use [Duplicate] and two clones appear before each of the two Heartfilias, surprising them.
The clone strikes Anna in the abdomen, forcing her to lose her grip and lets go of Irene.
"*Cough!* Cough!*" Irene coughs as she is finally able to breathe once more.
The clone grabs Anna's shoulders and pushes down on the ground. She looks on as the tip of what looks like a black rod slowly comes out of his palm before shooting out and stabbing her in her right shoulder.
"!" Anna looks surprised before her eyes slowly close and her body goes limp.
Rustyrose is dumbstruck as he feels his connection to Anna vanishing. He then jumps as another connection is broken and turns to see Layla with an identical black rod stabbing her left hand.
"What have you done?!" Rustyrose roared. "Why is my connection to them not working? You didn't inflict lethal wounds on them, yet I cannot connect to them, almost as if they are dead!"
"I simply cut their strings from their lowly puppetmaster." I mocked. "Those rods are the physical manifestation of my will and can overpower others if they're weaker than me."
The clones disappear and their essense returns to me.
"Thanks to your machinations, these girls have no free will. Ergo, there was nothing stopping me from breaking your hold on them." I told him.
Rustyrose's anger boils over. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" He uses [Arc of Embodiment] and creates a massive grayish-while gun with green neon around it. Its barrel is a vertical opening with a black trigger and a triple sided front side.
I recognize the weapon instantly: the BFG 9000.
"DIE!" Rustyrose pulls the trigger and it makes a whirring sound increasing in pitch until a big green projectile is shot out.
I slowly raise my hand and catch the green orb.
Green lighting shoots out, destroying anything that touches it, but it does nothing to me.
"Im… impossible!" Rustyrose steps back in fear. "This weapon destroys anything it comes into contact with. How are YOU still alive!?"
I throw the projectile back at Rustyrose.
"!" Rustyrose flies out of the way, but the orb simply follows after him. "Dammit!"
A black orb appears in my palm and I throw it at the green one, causing an explosion of incredible magnitude!
"AHHHHHH!" Rustyrose screams as he is quickly swallowed whole.
I look blankly as something falls from the sky and crashes into the ground hard.
"Y-Y-Y-You a-a-a-are…!" A broken machinal voice rings out as a hand crawls out from the smoke. "A mons-t-t-t-t-er!"
Rustyrose soon steps out, revealing his entire right side missing, with loose wires sparking and melted metal sticking out.
"... an android?" I questioned.
"I am im-im-impressed. You mana-mana-manage to destroy this-this puppet." Rustyrose praised.
I narrow my eyes. Something's not adding up here.
"Just what is your end goal here? Why go through this entire charade?" I asked.
"It ma-ma-ma-matters not. The data has been com-com-com-compiled." It states.
[Data? As in combat data?]
The doll then takes its clothes and rips them out, revealing a timer in the center of its chest already nearing zero.
"Y-Y-Y-You lose." The doll declares with a smile.
I summon [Dark Matter] and have it envelope the doll just as the timer reaches zero.
*BOOM!*
The dark cocoon expands before it deflates, leaving only a small charred spot on the ground.
"Good grief. Why do bad guys always have to be so complicated?" I murmured.
Just then, Cell descends and lands behind me.
"... what took you so long?" I asked.
"I went to see how your females handled this." Cell states.
"And?"
Cell scoffs. "Terribly. They may have power but have no idea how to use it. They only survived by pure luck."
I sigh.
Cell looks around. "So, where's the cockroach?"
"... gather everyone. They'll want to hear this."
Later
Everyone is in awe as I throw the brainwashed girls into the King of Hell and watch it chew.
"Gotta say. That has to be the creepiest face I've ever seen." Cana remarks.
The King of Hell's eyes turn to Cana, making the card mage jump in fright.
"He doesn't like it when people talk about him so loosely." I told her.
Ur steps forward. "So, let me get this straight: that bastard came here, that trapped us in this void." She then points to the head. "The one that kidnapped and modified six girls, one of which being MY daughter, was a fake!?"
I nod. "Pretty much, yeah."
Ur just scoffs and walks off. "Unbelievable!"
"But why?" Seilah asks.
"Apparently so he can get combat data on us. Though the question is what he's planning to do with it." Irene said.
"Rustyrose planned to take you all out of the way so that he can finalize his plan." Cell said.
"What plan?" Brandish asks.
"... a universal reset." Everyone turns to me. "Rustyrose's plan is to use the emerald's power to accelerate time across the universe until it reaches the "vanishing point" in which will cause the old universe to be destroyed and a new one taking its place. It's also why he had Cell kidnap Selene, her domain over the stars would allow him to survive the inception unchanged, in theory anyway."
"How do you know all of this?" A perplexed Cell asks.
I tap my head. "When I defeated you, I took a good look at your memories. Not only that, but I also acquired all of your knowledge of martial arts and Ki. So, I can safely say that I'm your equal in that department."
Cell, rather than being angry, stares at me with great interest.
"Is that so? Well, then I hope you can back up those words when we fight." Cell says in his usual confident tone.
"I don't understand… why would he do all of this?" A perplexed Mira asks.
"To fulfill Grimoire Heart's life-long dream: [Ultimate Magic World]. A world where only the magi are allowed to exist, with him as its sole ruler and god." I told her.
"That's… fucking dumb." Cana said.
"Tell that to him. I'm pretty sure he's too far gone to listen anyway." I remark before noticing something amiss.
Or rather… someone.
"Cell?" I turn to the Bio-Android. "Where's the pink Android?"
"I left her floating somewhere in this void." Cell reveals.
I blink. "You what?"
In the darkness of the void, Android 21's limp body is seen drifting aimlessly.
A purple aura suddenly envelopes her and is pulled towards a pale figure wearing a dark purple coat with white straps going across his chest and arms reminiscent of an "X".
"It is too soon to be over. I still wish to see the true extent of your potential." He says as he looks at 21's injured form.
A glowing purple button appears over his clawed hand. "Now, I will free you from your restraints."
He presses the button.
And the Android's eyes snap open, revealing them to be glowing red.
Meanwhile back in the palace, everyone discusses what their next move is before whipping their heads around as they feel an insane power level coming towards them.
"Did you feel that?" Cana asks.
Mirajane nods. "Yeah… and it's getting closer!"
*BOOM!*
Something crashes in front of them, causing everyone to shield themselves from the large gust of wind.
Suddenly, a pink laser beam shoots out from the cloud and pierces through Cell's black forehead, causing him to fall immediately with a loud thud.
"Cell!" I called out.
"Oh? Would you look at that? So many beautiful people all gathered in one place!" A female voice states, her voice a mix of excitement and madness. "Fufufufufu, you all look so tasty~"
The cloud disperses revealing Android 21, but her skin is now gray and she has dark purple spots throughout her body like that of Cell's. She also gains a purple tint to her hair.

W-What is this…?" Mira holds herself as her body starts to tremble uncontrollably. "How… How can such foul energy exist?"
Soon the others begin to show similar afflictions, unable to move as the immense evil coming from the android constricts them like a snake.
I stare at her new appearance and notice the lack of a glowing guild symbol on her forehead.
'She's no longer under Rustyrose's control. But given her current state, I doubt she'll listen to me.' I said.
[If she won't listen willingly, then we'll just have to make her listen]
"Everyone, I need you all to stand back." I tell them as I take a step forward. "No matter what happens, don't interfere."
"But we can help." Ur said.
"Not this time. Not against her." I look on as 21's power continues to rise exponentially. "You guys just aren't strong enough."
Cana grits her teeth but relents. "... alright."
"If that is what my master desires." Seilah nods.
"... be careful." Mira said.
I turn and nod before turning my attention back to 21 and walk towards her.
The corrupted android looks amused. "Ara? Are you approaching me? Even knowing my power, a cutie like you still wants to fight me?"
"I can't knock some sense into you unless I come closer." I retorted.
"HA! Knock some sense into me?! Do you truly believe you can defeat me?" Android 21 laughs before noticing me take off my bracelets. "What are you doing?"
"You shouldn't underestimate me." I take off the last of my shackles. "And now, you'll learn the hard way."
Everyone is suddenly blown back by the sudden and massive burst of power coming from me. They all try to find something to hold so as to not get blown away.

21's body is pushed back as she tries to keep her footing.
"How… HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!? WHERE DID YOU GAIN THIS KIND OF POWER!?" She demands.
She glares at her prey with visible frustration before it turns into shock as he is now standing in front of her, seemingly in an instant.

"Hm." My body is covered in a white aura before flying after her at impossible speeds.
Cell's eyes snap open and he quickly stands up, surprising everyone.
He turns to Cana and glares down at her. "Where's that pink bitch!?"
"Didn't you just get shot through the head!?" Cana points out.
"Something as floozy as that won't kill me." Cell told her before quickly turning to the void beyond. "That bitch… how did she get so powerful so quickly!?"
"Asmodeus is taking care of her, but he told us not to interfere, which likely extends to you," Irene said, with Cell gritting his teeth but knowing he would unlikely be able to retaliate against his fellow Bio-Android due to Asmodeus not only fighting her already but also due to his order likely being upheld by his servant status, even if it only indirectly was given to him.
"Dammit!" Cell yells in anger.
Meanwhile, 21 stops her momentum just as she sees her prey arrive.
However, rather than be angry, the evil android simply smirks.
"Kicking me away so that I don't harm your little toys. How sweet." 21 said with faux innocence. "You must realize how futile that gesture is, right?"
I don't say anything.
"Man of a few words, huh? Oh well, that's cool I guess." 21 shrugs before charging in with a crazed smile.
She goes for a punch but I catch it midway and proceed to kneel her in the chest and use my other hand to hit her with a powerful haymaker.
21 is sent flying by the haymaker, though she quickly regains control and flies right back towards me.
"[Payback Over Requiem: The World]!" I activate my Stand, causing time to stand still, which I immediately take advantage of by unleashing a barrage of attacks towards Android 21.
Once time resumed, Android 21 was once again blown back, but she eventually caught herself.
"You may have a few tricks up your sleeve, but it means nothing in the end. I'm gonna enjoy eating you!" 21 says.
"If you're that hungry, go to a restaurant." I said with a dead panned tone.
"No way!" 21 gives me the raspberry. "They're too tacky and expensive!"
"You're just saying that because you're broke as hell." I said.
"Shut up and die!" 21 yells and starts firing ki blasts at me.
I spread my arms wide creating a black barrier that deflects the barrage before I use Instant Transmission to appear behind 21.
The android only has a second to react before she is pierced through the chest by a black energy sword.
"Hm!" I swing my arm in rapid succession, tearing her body apart at a molecular level. I raise my other arm and extend it forward, firing a black energy beam, eradicating the remains.
[Do you think she's dead?]
*PING!*
I jump forward just as a disembodied hand swings down.
I stare as a body quickly forms from the arm's stump, shifting and stretching until it becomes 21 again.
The immortal android looks up and I can feel the bloodlust, anger, as well as a ting of regular lust coming from her eyes.
"That hurt…" 21 growls before a smile appears on her face. "I LOVE IT!"
[Huh, so she is both a sadist AND a masochist. Who knew]
"I hope that wasn't your strongest attack, because if it was…" She cracks her neck and sends me a blank stare. "I'm gonna be really angry."
21 uses Instant Transmission to teleport in front of me and deliver a roundhouse kick sending me flying right. She then uses it again to appear in above and slashes at me with two energy blades as I use my hands to block them.

"Hmph!" My glows red as it releases a powerful energy wave that blows 21 away.
The evil android catches herself only to look up and see a red sphere in place of her prey.
"The hell!?" A befuddled 21 says as the sphere slowly breaks away.
Her prey looks sleeker, and much younger than he already is. His hair is now crimson red, but doesn't stand up like a regular [Super Saiyan] transformation and his eyes and irises become blood red.
"Ara, ara, I didn't think you could get any cuter, sweetie~" 21 coos as she struggles to keep her body straight. "I can't sense your energy, but this pressure is something else."
"This is called [Super Saiyan God]. Usually, a ritual is required to unlock it. But I have no need for it." I told her.
"[Super Saiyan God], sounds powerful." 21 licks her lips. She raises her hand and pink energy begins to surge from her index finger. "I can't wait to eat it!" She points her finger and shoots a stream to pink electricity.
"[Payback Over Requiem: Time is Erased]." The beam phases through me as I fly forward and raise my hand up to her face. "Time returns its progression."
When time resumes, 21 sees a hand suddenly in front of her face and suddenly gets blasted back by incoming air current.
21 catches herself while a look of shock is plastered on her face. 'How…? It's like every time I get the upper hand, he somehow has something to always tip the scales back in his favor.'
"What's wrong? Don't tell me that's all you got?" I taunt.
21 tightly clenches her hands as her anger boils before calming down. 'I can't let him get under my skin like this. I need to come up with a plan.' A smirk then forms on her face. 'And I got just the thing~'
Energy builds up in her fingertips and she unleashes a barrage of dark pink lasers.
I dodge the barrage with ease, only to see the lasers make a U-turn and chase after me.
"..." I fire rapid ki blasts at the beams, but they simply break through them.
21 giggles. "You can't keep running, baby! You know my beams will keep track of you!"
'Is that so?' I turn around and the lasers follow towards my new target.
21's eyes widen as she quickly realizes what he's trying to do. "No way… are you that desperate to take me down?" However, that was when she saw something unexpected.
She sees the boy split himself into two, with one flying up high while the other continues his route towards her.
"!?" The android is too late to react and she is suddenly engulfed in the resulting explosion.
I stop to look down at the rising smoke. Though I knew she would easily survive, it didn't stop a smile from forming on my face as she fell for my little trick.
When the smoke clears, it reveals Android 21 with a giant gaping hole in her abdomen, though it quickly closes up until it is fully healed.
"Pretty clever, sweetie, I'll admit I didn't see that coming." 21 remarks before flashing me a fanged grin. "Now, it's my turn."
She fires a ki blast before instantly vanishing from sight.
Recognizing the technique as Instant Transmission, I try to get a lock on her energy and when I turn around, a purple tail suddenly wraps around my neck while 21 holds up her finger chagrin with pink energy at its tip.
"Say, you like jawbreakers!?" Android 21 says as she hits me with her attack, causing a flash of pink light that quickly disappears, only to reveal a floating red jawbreaker where I once was.
The evil New-Type Android grabs the sweet confection and looks at it with visible hunger in her eyes.
"Hehehe. Tasty~" She opens her mouth as she moves her hand closer in order to eat it.
But as the jawbreaker moves closer, it starts to… vibrate?
"What the-?" The android doesn't finish her inquiry as she suddenly punches herself, letting go of the jawbreaker as she is sent flying.
21 catches herself and looks befuddled as the jawbreaker is now floating right in front of her.
"... now that I think about it. Yeah, I dig 'em." The Jawbreaker said.
21 jumps back, disbelief plastered on her face at the bizarre sight.
"... you've got to be kid-" But she doesn't finish as the jawbreaker hits her in the forehead, making her body spin around.
The jawbreaker isn't done as it flies behind her and hits her head multiple times.
Evil 21 opens her mouth and catches the candy with her teeth. "Ha!"
"Aye, you wanna ride me that badly? Then how about I give you one." The Jawbreaker then flies at the speed of light, taking 21 with her.
Everyone sees a streak of life flying around the base, understandably confused as to why this is happening.
"Welp. That's enough for you." Jawbreaker suddenly and 21 is launched off as a result of the momentum.
The evil android catches herself and turns to the transformed Gamer.
"How is this possible? You're just a piece of fucking candy!" 21 yells.
"Bitch, please. Pulling off shit like this is as easy as breathing to me. This isn't even in my top 20," I told her. "Now listen up, I'm gonna give you one last chance to give up, or this is gonna get both painful and humiliating for you."
"As if I'm gonna give up to a jawbreaker!" Android 21 scoffed before trying to grab me, only for me to evade her grasp and launch an attack straight to her face, followed by an immediate strike at her abdomen, causing her to stagger in pain.
The jawbreaker begins to glow and in a flash I return to normal.
"Last chance. Give. Up." I demanded.
"You will pay…" 21 grits her teeth, her power cycling out of control. "YOU WILL PAY! YOU WILL PAY! YOU WILL PAY!"
Her power explodes, unleashing a massive reddish aura that encapsulates this entire dimension.
Back in the [Ruby Palace] everyone is held down by the intense pressure, unable to move.
"So this is full power. I have to say, I'm impressed." I remark before unleashing the full power of [Super Saiyan God]. "This is gonna be fun."
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UUUUP! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" 21 raves like a rabid animal. "I'M GONNA ERASE YOU FROM EXISTENCE!"
"HAAAAAH!" I exert more power, expanding my aura exceeding hers.
"CANDY, CANDY, CANDYYYYY!" 21 declares as she cups her hands back and gathers power.
I launch myself straight towards Android 21.
"HAAA!" She fires a Majin Kamehameha the size of a planet.
I stare blankly at the massive beam and get engulfed by it.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" 21 laughs maniacally as she watches the idiot dive into her attack.
Her laughter suddenly cuts off as she watches the bastard fly through her attack like it's nothing!
"IMPOSSIBLE!" 21 cries in disbelief as she is seeing. "JUST DIE ALREADY!" She puts more power into her attack, making it the size of a Red Giant.

I reel my right arm back as I fly closer to her and launch my fist forward. "SUPER DRAGON FIST!"
21 can only watch in disbelief as a massive golden dragon appears and moves forward, swallowing her entire attack in the process.
"Impossi-!" She doesn't finish as the dragon opens its mouth and eats her whole.
What occurs next is a gigantic explosion that causes ripples across this pocket dimension.
From the smoke, a human 21 is seen falling, unconscious and heading straight towards the void.
I use Instant Transmission to appear a few feet below her and catch her bridal style.

The ultimate technique, which severs the link between consciousness and body, Allowing one to dodge any attack subconsciously. effectively allows for each and every part of the user's body to think and move independently of all the other parts, as opposed to how a person normally has to think about their movements beforehand and let the command travel from the brain and through the nervous system, a sequence which wastes precious fighting time, as command signals only travel through the nerves so fast. With each part of the body able to think and act on its own, the user of this technique is able to automatically react to any situation or threat with the perfect move with perfect timing.

"God damn, look at these prizes!" I said as I looked at their descriptions. "These skills are gonna be ridiculously useful, not to mention the Senzu beans and the Max-Level Skill tokens. And those perks will help a lot in improving everyone and my overall talent in any situation."
[No shit, Ultra Instinct in particular is gonna be really useful]
"Although, I'm surprised I got another harem and sex-related perk." I said with a sweatdrop. "The benefits are undeniable and it will go a long way in helping any girls I enter a relationship with, though the last part is baffling."
[For all we know, it's probably the multiverse or some deity trying to tell you that you need to start having more sex, you lazy prick. You named yourself after a sex demon for crying out loud!]
"Oh, shut up." I said.
*CRACK!*
"Hm?" I look up and my eyes shoot wide open.
Cracks begin to appear everywhere and break apart, revealing a white void.
"Oh shit." I mumbled.
[It must be because of the battle. The combined power output from the two of you must have destabilized this entire dimension!]
The cracks spread fast and quickly use Instant Transmission to teleport directly in front of everyone.
"Asmodeus-sama!" Brandish leaps forward but I stop her in midair with telekinesis.
"There's no time. We gotta get out here before this dimension implodes!" I told them. "Grab everyone and get inside!"
With that, everyone runs inside just as pieces of the pocket dimension fall where they stood.
The perspective switches to everyone running inside the control room (AN: It's the control room from the Fortress of Doom).
The girls are in awe at the sight of the futuristic yet medieval room as Asmodeus runs to the main control panel.
"Handles. I need a status update." I order as I maneuver the controls.
The view switches to show light coming from the fast growing cracks.
"THE DIMENSIONAL LINE IS CRUMBLING. IMPLOSION IMMINENT."
"Then we'll just have to use Chaos Control." I said as I maximize the power cycling.
"WARNING: DIMENSIONAL TRANSFERENCE OF THAT SCALE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY MAY BE COMPROMISED."
"Sometimes jumping in blindly is the real test." I remark as I press the final switch.
Emerald Altar
The Master Emerald begins to glow as do the other three Chaos Emeralds.
The Etherious stationed all watch as the entire chamber comes to life, with the sounds of machines groaning and revving coming from everywhere.
"... Is that supposed to happen?" Tempester asks.
Lamy was the most concerned, having seen a similar reaction in the past. "Asmodeus-sama…"
Control Room
The room begins to glow as everyone begins to see afterimages of themselves before their vision begins to warp.
"What's happening!?" Ur screams out.
"I think I'm gonna hurl…" Cana groans as she covers her mouth.
"ENGINES ACTIVATING." Handles announced.
"Asmodeus-sama!?" Brandish yells.
"Hang onto something!" I yelled.
The entire structure begins to glow and instantly vanishes just as the entire dimension is covered in white.
In the realm of Earthland, flying above the city of Drameel on the continent of Guiltina, a large structure appeared unbeknownst to the inhabitants below.
The top part of the structure appeared to be an extravagant palace made of the highest quality ruby, but the overwhelming majority of it resembled a hill-like structure made of iron-and-stone with unique groove designs all around it. Underneath it were jagged spikes resembling stalactites, and extending from the fortress were propellers keeping it suspended in the sky
The people were obviously surprised and terrified by the sudden appearance of the massive structure suspended just above the city. Panic takes hold and the people begin to lose their minds, acting erratically and causing collateral damage.
But for a certain guild on the other hand…
"Holy shit! Where did that come from!?" Gray exclaims in shock and awe.
"Hold me, Gray-sama!" Juvia leaps to hug her beloved only for Gray to quickly avoid her.
"I wish I had a flying castle…" Laxus whispers under his breath.
"Kind of reminds me of Phantom Lord a little." Gajeel comments.
"And I thought I've seen everything." Makarov said.
"Whoa, why don't we have something cool like that?" Natsu asks and gets smacked in the head.
"Would you stay focused for two seconds, Natsu? We need to come up with a plan." Erza told him.
"Plan? We already have a plan: hit it till it breaks!" Natsu declares with a determined grin.
"Aye, sir!" Happy chimes in.
Erza looks at the floating structure and can't help but feel a sense of déjà vu.
"Erza?" Lucy asks as she notices her friend's intense stare.
Natsu then turns to his Exceed partner. "Let's go, Happy!"
"Yeah!" Happy nods and grabs Natsu's back.
However, before the two fly away, a green portal appears in front of them and Cana, Mira, Asmodeus, Ur, Irene, Cell, and Seilah appear before them.
"What's up, dudes? Did ya miss us?" Cana asks with her signature grin.
"Cana-chan!" A happy-crying Gildarts jumps out of the crowd and descends towards his daughter. "I was so worried about you!"
Cana leans to the side, avoiding her father and letting him land head-first into the ground hard.
"Cana-chan's so mean…" Gildarts groaned.
"Mira-nee!" Lisanna and Elfman jump in and hug their big sister. "We were so worried when we couldn't find you!"
"It's okay. I should have told you before I left, I'm sorry." Mira says returning the hug.
"Sorry for the sudden appearance," Everyone turns to the serious Asmodeus. "But we need to talk."
Author Notes
And that's another chapter closed. I bet none of you were expecting that.
Rustyrose went from being someone sophisticated to a full-blown psycho-rapist, even going as far as bringing Lucy's mother back from the dead just to satisfy his sexual urges for the Celestial Mage. He has slowly become increasingly unhinged after the timeskip, and Meredy's rejection of rebuilding Grimoire Heart and his defeat at the hands of Crime Sorcière further sent him into madness.
After the fall of Tartaros, he was recruited by the Alvarez Empire where he trained under August and gained his Copy Magic and mastery in countless forms of magic in an attempt to surpass him and then studied Alchemy in Gold Owl, but went rogue and took their Chaos Emerald.
What happened to him there or how he got his hands on a Chaos Emerald will be explored in future.
Then there's the appearance of a third party, watching the MC's progress and wanting to see his limits (if you already know who they are, don't say anything).
But that's all the exposition I'm gonna give. Leave a comment (good, bad, I don't care)
Later nerds!
