Chapter 260: No Time to Die in the Darkness of the Unknown Dimension.
Even though Mike was relived to escape Sieg's fiery judgment…having gone through thinking he was in the clear only for things to get worst each time had made the lanky scion of Ben Auro and Lacus Raystar just a tad on edge.
Even so, the sight of even more allies to him and his family then the last time he was at his home in the Bethel Kingdom made him feel like he could be a little better.
While most in his group felt the same, Astra was not one of them. While happy to not be dead the blond woman saw how many around her were watching her like a hawk before she cracked her neck." Man…I knew trying to bail out the son of the "Last Emperor" was going to be a wild ride but if someone told me the job was going to land me at the core of time or something I would have told them they were wasted. But…guess your as special as your daddy after all with how many folks keep bailing you out eh Mike?"
Mike just let out a wary shrug before Cortex saw the giant tree and giant hourglasses around Conton City and the Great Clock before he looked in awe." Despite all the setbacks…for once something is living up to the hype! N Tropy would be so jealous I got to see what made time tick. Well...if he was not just brutally killed. Still…got to make the most of things right? How does this work anyway?"
Trunks and some of the others gave the scientist looks hard enough for Cortex to wince before the purple haired warrior cleared his throat." Doctor Cortex…we are grateful for your help in getting everyone here but, that does not dismiss your past history. I personally suffered at the hands of mad scientists like you so, just remember that this is not a tour, and you will get to go back without punishment."
Cortex saw Coco and Tawna also glared at him before he tugged his collar." Guess the Zoni and all the other timekeepers are a tough crowd eh? Well I promise I don't want to get on your bad side pal."
"Find, but just in case he will be making sure you keep your word."
Cortex saw a shadow and turned around to see a human figure who wore a black-spandex with white details, and green eyes, along with a long red cape walk up.
The new figure narrowed his green eyes before Cortex turned pale." A…a demon?"
Trunks chuckled before he responded with," Nah, Albert Francis "Al" Simmons is more of an angel then a demon these days, though he started as a hellspawn for Zannacross and his servant Malebolgia. Still…you can just call him Spawn."
Spawn grasped his clawed hand tightly before hissing out," Mess around and where you're going to end up, is a place where every day is Halloween, and everyone will want to beat the "candy" out of yah."
As Cortex yelled out in fright he walked back." Look I may not winning the top genius of the universe awards but trust me I know not to pick a fight I can't win…mostly."
As Crash rolled his eyes the Supreme Kai of Time smirked." Relax Cortex…we are not that trigger happy. At the very least Nina's actions give you some benefit of the doubt."
Cortex blinked in shock before muttering," You know my…d…relative? Is she here?"
No…sadly she passed on long ago. But she worked with the Lylat Kingdom after the fall of Zannacross. She used her genius to help a lot of folks and make the Cortex name get the respect you were craving for…in the right way."
"Nina." Cortex uttered in shock." I knew she could pull it off…with the right guidance. Guess the universe is a big enough place that her looks were not a big deal after all eh?"
"I mean...once she had more options, she just paid for a facelift really."
"Oh…that makes sense."
"So because of that we will give you a shot…but just…don't push your luck ok? We don't really want to go for a fascist vibe here but…we really have no room for error these days."
Astra just rolled her eyes in response." So much for being on the high ground eh Kai? Using demons as muscle and you wonder why everyone who is not bought out by you Angels hates your hypocritical guts?"
Spawn's green energy crackled around his eyes before Trunks sighed." Astra Fitter…the Time Patrol always was a bit more…flexible with some things compared to most of the rest of Heaven's forces, we had to be based on what we need to do. Still…even here times are tense, and we can't afford any risks.
That's why, with all due respect for what you done so far to keep Michael Auro alive, we take precautions for anyone related to Doug Fitter's group. "
The blond woman saw just how many dirty looks her way were before she spat on the ground and smirked." Let's not waste time playing games eh dude? You all hate my guts for what my guys did to your universe…and no matter how much this universe had it coming no one ever wants to admit how things really are! If you want to throw me at the dawn of time or something, then bring it I rather get this over with it then pussy foot around!"
Trunks saw Astra looked like a cornered beast before he sighed." Astra Fitter…I know full well about having a father with…a complicated history. Though to be blunt, while my father Vegeta did kill entire planets…even that pales to the sin of breaking the universe and keeping it in a broken state out of a personal ideology that revels in anarchy, the suffering of the innocent be damned.
And I can't deny I have bias…Fitter…he killed my father among so many over the years."
Astra saw everyone look dismayed before she snickered." Oh right…that's one of the top stories the Equalizers love talking about. Those Saiyans were one of the many who the" Last Emperor" got to go after the old man, and guess they were pissed because people they knew got erased when the souls of people they knew got erased with most of the After life.
They tried that fancy fusion trick and all those lame power ups, but even as that" Gogeta" while they may have had a stronger power level… the old man took a punch, warped somewhere else, and kept luring the ape men till they got to revved up to realize they wrapped into a black-hole. Nothing personal…just the Equalizers don't bow to anyone."
Trunks grasped his fist tightly before a man clad entirely in sliver riding a flying surfer board flew up and jabbed his finger at Astra." You…I know all to well about the chaos of nature, but I was more aware of the actions I caused when I was a herald of Galactus that helped him devour entire worlds!
It's one thing when some must suffer for the greater good, but because of what your father did the majority of the good people of the universe have suffered needlessly just because of his pride! Tell me…do you truly think people are better off after what he did after how things are now?"
Astra saw Crash, Megaman, Ratchet, and others before she looked at the ground." You guys are supposed to have seen all of history and you still can't admit it eh?
Nobody's a good person. Nobody's anything but what've done and what they're got done and anything else is just privileged hypocrites trying to spin their webs of lies to keep things rigged in their favor! Look at all you, bending over backwards to bail out a royal brat that you opened up time and all that jazz! Even if "Mikey" is not as personally stuck up as I first thought, the simple truth is that he's just a guy with some sight talents that is being bailed out just because of the privilege of being the son of God." Tsc, or at least the god of all the cowards to weak to fight for themselves.
While Megaman, 2B, and even some like Sam looked disturbed, just as Trunks was about to say something Mike suddenly chuckled bitterly before he looked down." Damn girl…you could make a killing just being an interrogator you know? You had to do a "full" investigation to come to that conclusion or just watch the news? Trust me Astra…I know more than anyone I'm not living up to the Auro brand ok?
But…even though it was clear I did not have the knack for fighting Richard had, and even when I had to spell it out that I wanted to get away from the family business of heroism and all that as much as I could, people still think I can bail them out of things, that I'm "hiding" my trump card. Damned if you do damned if you don't and all that eh?"
Astra saw while Mike grinned as he said that he could not completely hide the pain in his face, causing the blond woman to wince. Trunks also saw Mike's dismay before he let out a sad smirk of his own." Mike…fact is I kind of get what you're getting at. My father…I did not want to be the same kind of man my father wanted me to be as well, and if you thought you had pressure just be glad the prince of all Saiyans was not your father.
I only knew Vegeta a short while though, before Android 17 and 18 killed him, then Gohan in my timeline as well. It gets murky since my other self from the main timeline took a different path but, I was able to slowly come to terms with Vegeta over time.
Astra…you may see it as hypocrisy but we just think people with potential deserve a second chance to unlock it. An unforgiving world where people have only one chance to show what they are or die, I always, always wanted to change things so that would not be everyone's future.
I…I fought so hard I defeated the Android 17 and 18 and Cell of my timeline…but…but the future kept heading back to darkness."
Astra let out a grim smirk before she crossed her arms." Guess you can't stop nature no matter how much any hero smashes things eh? After all…the fact that you guys are suppose to be the ones that "Fix" history but have not done anything to mess the Death Stranding proves it!"
The Supreme Kai of Time saw the confusion Mike, Ratchet, Crash, and others had in there faces before the pink woman sighed." Sadly, your more on the ball on that one then most wish, because as horrible as what Doug Fitter did to the universe was, it is part of the universe's history.
The Beyonder 's incursion was outside the universe so it was a distortion of time, but Doug breaking heaven and hell seems to be part of God's plan, and the plain fact is that the death of Cosmos was such a powerful point that time travel is all but impossible to that period of time because of how unstable the energy is around that point.
Doctor Cortex…that's most likely another reason your "partner in crime" N-Tropy went so much further in time to escape being consumed by Zannacross in the showdown with Mike's parents. But… just because the universe heading this way can't be changed, it does not mean it has to be the future."
Mike raised an eyebrow as he eyed the pink woman carefully." What you mean? You're saying even you don't know what's going to happen?"
Chronoa saw even Kupuna-Wa, Orvus, and some of the other residents of the Time Nest looked troubled before she let out an anxious giggle." I'm sure your folks told you about the Beyonder and the Secret War stuff right? Its just…the Time Nest covers a lot but, not the history of things outside the, well, our universe."
Mike thought back to Sieg before he gulped." So…so its not just a con then eh? Emperor Nefarious and this Sieg psycho, really are from other universe's? There goes the last hope this was some big act the Vought clan was pulling together."
Trunks grasped his fist tightly before responding with," That Homelander may be more egotistical than Cell but no…his "tribe" does not have the means to pull this off. No…as much as all of those guys have been trying to prove themselves to be the " New God", none of them are anything close to this" Sieg V-Day Elden." And I know your next question is what I mean, but just follow us to the Time Vault so we can explain properly.
Astra sighed before shrugging and gave off a begrudge toned nod, before she and the rest of the new arrivals were lead to a modest white temple with a giant tree sprouting out of it.
Waiting for them was a woman with young woman with pink eyes and long, dark purple hair worn in a high ponytail that reached to her lower back and a few strands framing her face.
She wore dangling green earrings, and upon her hair was a golden circlet with a red gemstone in it. She wore a strapless white surplice with a miniskirt worn with a pink underbust corset that had gold designs on it.
Chronoa saw the woman bow before she gave a thumbs up." Everything set Serenica?"
"Yes my lady."The woman named Serenica replied." The Tockles have gathered the last bits of info so we have gathered as much history as we can on the situation."
Mike, Astra and the others noticed a dozen small, rounded beings of a simplified human shape that had short legs and long arms that trailed behind them as they walked up, with faces consisting of very simple markings that resembled wide eyes and a nose waddled up and gave friendly waves as the group noticed them.
This caused the Supreme Kai of Time to giggle before she gave a thumbs up." Alright then, time for the official debriefing."
Even more Time Patrol agents surrounded Astra before the blond woman rolled her eyes, and followed the rest inside to the Time Vault. Mike saw a lot more mundane setting then he expected, but looked at a wide dome area with many murals on the wall and a round table in the center, a hole in the center of the ceiling, and tree roots sticking out of said hole.
Mike looked around and just let an uneasy chuckle." No disrespect madam…but…this place is really were all of time is stored in some sort of vault? Figured it would be…bigger."
An older looking figure that had the same clothing as Chronoa with a mustache heard this and snickered out in disgust." You think you know how time works boy? The rules of the universe are far beyond what a mere mortal can learn in a class!"
Trunks cleared his throat before holding up his hand." Its ok Elder Kai this is just what we are here for. Sorry…everyone's in a bit of a tense state with all that's going on. Well, there is a lot to go over but might as well start with the most pressing issue."
Mike saw how on edge everyone looked before he walked up." Alright to cut to the chase I think I've waited long enough but what do you know about this guy with my dad's face?
Even my dad could not destroy a universe on his own, and this Sieg guy made it sound like it was just part of his routine! Some of the things he did, was more of the magic that my mom could do. He…he was talking about places I never heard of. And that means on one hand it could mean this Sieg is my dad from another universe, this" Negaverse" he talked about.
But, what if he snapped after whatever Doug did to Richard? What if he lost it and became that Idious my mom said was a split personally the Zannacross Empire turned him into at one point in the war?"
Chronoa sighed before she looked down." At the very least you don't have to worry about Sieg V-Day Elden being some new personality like how Darth Idious was. Alright here's the lowdown.
Doug Fitter caused a hole in the multiverse a while back, and your older brother Richard Auro, and Max Bruder went to investigate the hole. Neither of them returned, and Richard's body was found dead a short while after.
Your parents and a good chunk of the Bethel Kingdom's forces went into the rift in the universe, and the result caused a space time anomaly that sealed off the entire section of the universe as frankly its to unstable for even us to go near.
Sadly, we were not able to see the fight itself so it seems whatever happened…it did happen outside this universe, and maybe in a different universe entirely. We saw Doug survived since he randomly showed up to fight Homelander, Omni-Man and Walter and Brandon Sampson. But, all we know so far is right around the time you were released from the Carbonite Prince Auro, Sieg showed up on Earth Prime."
The pink woman snapped her fingers before Orvus put a scroll into the table in the center. After a few moments it glowed, and projected a hologram into the air that replayed when Sieg showed up on Earth Prime and casually destroyed the Zeta Halo and the "Gnew" anti Getter mecha like it was nothing.
Astra saw things like the Totality castle, those like the Batman Who Laughs, Drakkon and the other corrupt versions of legendary hero's before she shorted." Man, guess it's a few points in the favor of this jackass not being your old man Mikey.
Unless going insane made him get even more tacky and goth fashion senses at once it really does feel like this is someone else with your pop's face. But that leads to the other question…what the hell is this asshole? He made that "Emperor "Nefarious look like even more of a joke then he was.
Seriously though, I know the Auro's had the remains of Cosmos's power, and my old man had the remains of the devil's power so they are the nearest thing to gods this universe has. But hell dude this Sieg seemed to blow away a whole universe even easier then that Beyonder freak did!"
Chronoa winced as the scene turned to Sieg going into Emperor Nefarious's universe, and coming out of it with it destroyed." Won't argue with you there. While Zannacross and the Beyonder both had the power to destroy the universe, Sieg seems to do it in a way so effortless that it makes him seem in a class of his own.
Its…mortifying to think of what could lead to such power. But…we do have a few theories. The nature of his power…the way he so easily moves through dimensions, if not universe's, he, he might be like, a sixth dimensional being."
Astra, Mike, and most of the others looked on in confusion before Ratchet raised a eyebrow." Wait what? Does that mean he's like…secretly really fat?"
Cortex paused before his jaw widened." Wait…the sixth dimension? A while back, I sent my pet parrots Victor and Moritz to the Tenth Dimension while testing my prototype Evolvo-Ray.
Victor claimed that the severe "reverso-radiation" in the Tenth Dimension sharpened the skills of the parrots and warped their "fragile, egg-shelled minds to make them gods! They…they sure were a pain but I showed them who's boss."
The scientist saw Crash and Coco glaring at him before he cleared his throat." Er…with a little help."
As everyone looked at Cortex in confusion the Supreme Kai of Time giggled." Oh, right now I remember that whole episode. Yah…nice try but its not quite like that. For one your pet parrots were just kind of well, really crazy and assumed things. They were sent to a splinter dimension, just not the tenth dimension.
That's because everyone keeps getting confused on what it means. Crash course time. For those who snoozed through dimension class, the first dimension is just a silly point, like boop and all that. The second is a line, kind of still boring at this point but bear with me. The third is well, material stuff right?
Like the transition those old video games made when they went 2D to 3D right? The fourth is personal to me because its tick tock, time! That…that's the best way to describe a "4-D being" someone who moves through time like me and some of the other time flowing guys and gals like my old pal Kupuna-Wa here, and others who are not as cool like Kronika,Fu,Kang the Conqueror and all the others who moved through time across well…more time."
Astra rubbed her head before she shrugged." I guess that sort of makes sense. But…how the hell do you get bigger than that?"
Chronoa paused before she looked up." Good question…the only thing greater than that would seem to be…godhood. Cosmos, Zannacross, and the Beyonder were the only ones that seemed to be 5th dimensional beings or "Celestialsapiens", cause of their power to move through realms, but even they were bound to the rules of time…because the universe seemed to be the only thing for them as well.
Honestly a Six Dimensional being was just something I and the Elder Kai would discuss to pass the time on slow days because it just seemed too crazy to be possible.
But for a long time, the multiverse, not just splinter realities or divergent timelines but entire separate universe's seemed impossible cause the universe was suppose to be all there is. But…guess The One Above All wanted to show we should not have assumed things."
Mike paused before he looked back at Sieg again." So…was there really no sighs of the Multiverse existing before Sieg?"
"Yes and no." Chronoa responded sorrowfully." I think…it use to not be a multiverse, but it suddenly was dumped on us. Like…your dad told you how when he and everyone else defeated Brad Fowltror it was at the dawn of time?
He…he perverted the birth of the universe, and that might have been want caused the multiverse to well…be a thing. So, suddenly we have who knows how many universe's existing all of a sudden. And…and that might lead to things that we thought were no longer possible being possible."
Mike snickered before retorting with a dry," And one of those things is just a guy with my father's face being born with more power than anyone thought possible? What he's just the lucky fella who won the jackpot?"
The Sliver Surfer paused before he grasped his sliver hand tightly." We can't say anything with absolute certainty to be honest, but what we seen gave us some ideas and its all we got at the moment.
I been able to use my Cosmic Power to watch Sieg from afar, and I noticed the particles of his body gave a different signature then that of those of our universe."
As the newcomers to the Time Nest looked at the former herald of Galactus in confusion Mike raised an eyebrow." Wait…my folks said that when the Beyonder recreated people from history to serve him they had an energy signature thing that made it so they could be told apart. You're saying that this is this Sieg guy's deal?"
"Not quite, or at least that's not the whole story. Its true that we figured out all beings vibrate at the same quantum frequency as there native universe. Unlike the Chrono Phantasma of the Beyonder, this Sieg does not just have the quantum frequency of one other universe, but countless other universe's, like each cell of his body amassed another universe.
The way his energy, his soul was, only one other person reminded me of, my former master Galactus. Before he was known as the "Devourer of Worlds" and one of the God's of Destruction he was just the explorer Galan of the planet Taa.
But when our universe more or less was "reformatted" in the early days of existence, he was the sole mortal survivor, and the process from going through that gave him that godly power.
I know this is mere theory but, this Sieg seemed to have the same make up in his energy as Galactus, only instead of going through the death of one universe, it was countless others.
In other words, Galactus got his power by enduring the demise of one universe, and in turn Sieg could have gained an even greater power by going through the demise of countless universe's."
As everyone took in what the sliver man said Astra paused, and snorted out," Damn…so if I'm getting this right the guy with Ben Auro's face managed to find a way to become a "super ultra-god" by absorbing the power of who knows how many universe's and becoming a "6-D" being or something? Well hell if you put it that way no duh that someone that's really like that could be stronger than any "Normal" guy."
Mike winced as Sieg's acts flashed across his mind." While this does sound like a lot of what if's being proved right, I admit if its legit, guess it does paint a clearer picture on why a guy like that could wreck anything, even my folks.
But so your saying we are screwed? That this face stealing bastard is beyond anything anyone else can do and since my parents are dead there is nothing I can do and we should just beg for mister perfect to not kill us all!?"
Trunks grasped his fist before responding with a resolute," I know your feeling overwhelmed right now but please don't misunderstand us. We are not dismissing the odds, just making clear how severe the stakes are.
But…it's not hopeless…I lived through a hopeless life for so long myself, and know to never given in to despair Prince Auro. Besides…you misunderstand. We don't think your father is dead."
Astra raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes." Seriously dude? Now's no time to be a dumbass clinging to hope. Sieg showed us Mikey's folks broken blades! And he's there and they are not so that kind of spells it out eh?"
The Supreme Kai of Time paused before her cheery expression morphed to grim resolve." Only if you're not looking at all the possibilities Astra. I know its bad, but even if Sieg broke the Divine Mugen Nova and the Oath Keeper, it does not mean for sure that he killed Ben and Lacus.
Sure, assuming he was Ben and snapped and killed everyone else could lead to assuming the worst. But, seems like Sieg's the kind of guy who would shove corpses in your faces if he could right?
And the fact is Mike, sadly a lot of your parent's best warriors did die and were sent to the afterlife, but not your parents! Even if they died in the areas of the universe were the after life is controlled by the other tribes, you know they would love to show your parents dead. But…they did not."
Mike had his jaw drop before he blinked a few times." Wait, so they, still could be alive? What…what happened?"
The pink skinned woman sighed before she had the image turn to the space time anomaly that was the result of where everyone thought Ben and Doug fought." I can't say I know for sure.
But…what if…what if Ben and Lacus got hurt bad, saw they could not beat Sieg…saw he came from another universe, and went to get help across the Multiverse?"
Astra saw Mike looked hopeful before she narrowed her eyes." Ok seriously…you have any proof of this or just grasping at even more straws? You're saying the "Last Emperor" bailed on his own universe to find a universe that could help him beat Sieg?"
Trunks shrugged before crossing his arms." I get that this is a lot less solid than anyone would hope for right now. But…Doug Fitter did not end up being dead either right? And as powerful as this Sieg is he can't just snap his fingers to make everything his way right?"
Megaman winced before he rubbed his neck." I mean…he was talking about he could destroy are universe as easily as he destroyed that Emperor Nefarious 's one, but says this Prime universe needs to be kept around till he can I don't know…unleash a blast big enough to attack every universe at once. I, I can't even begin to think of what kind of power would be enough to pull off something so horrible."
Trunks nodded before he looked around." Well I don't know either frankly. All I know is that it seems him and this "Infinite Victory and Conquest "corporation he runs has not found it out either.
Sure…are universe being invaded by a guy with Ben's face with a power on par with Zannacross and the Beyonder is not good…but its not hopeless. If we can figure out just what makes these guys tick, and if your parents come back with reinforcements from across the Multiverse…then we can get through this."
Astra snorted before she looked down." Heh…still thinking the "Savior" is going to magically fix what is not broken eh? Well…I admit everything else seems like small potatoes when some jackass thinks he has the right to blow up every universe there is just because he found out how to become some Eldritch 10-D mutant hyper devil. Still, all you time nuts better have more then just blind faith going for yah."
The Supreme Kai of Time gave a thumbs up before responding with a chipper," Oh come on girl you don't keep time itself on track just by hoping for the best! It, its true that because Sieg and all his "Gang" are from another universe, he's not part of the universe's future no matter what.
But…there are still ways we can keep on top of things. We just have to play are cards right, and get these guys caught off guard. Despite everything no one is, huh?"
A flash of light flared up across the sky, before Orvus gasped as some other Zoni and Tockles ran up to him."Supreme Kai of Time…it seems one of the Time Patrol agents is returning."
Trunks looked alarmed before he went up to Clank's father." What? But…all the Time Patrol agents are already in the Time Nest at the moment. All the ones we thought were still alive at least. Unless…Max Bruder survived after all?"
Mike paused before he took a deep breath." If anyone can pull off the impossible it's my dad's cousin. After all defying the odds is a family creed and all. Maybe, maybe he knows what happened to my parents!"
The group quickly left the Time Vault and went to the outer part of Conton City, the Plaza of Time. As Mike arrived at the Dragon Ball Pedestal statue he saw a pillar of light in its center and allowed himself to get hopeful.
However as the light faded in front of the giant dragon statue he heard footsteps his hope turned to confusion as he saw a woman in a business suit casually walk through the portal. For a moment he did not know what to make of this woman with short red hair and glowing eyes. However as he looked at the woman's face he turned pale.
As the woman turned to him with an utterly detached expression Mike had his eyes widened as he muttered." M…mom? Is..is that you?"
The woman Mike hoped was Lacus was blank for a moment, before she let out a curt smile." My…is that how you address your mother young man?"
Astra saw the red-haired woman did not respond before she tensed up." Seriously? Lacus Raystar survived? She escaped after her hair got cut? No…unless its another freaky power up something's off here and I'm not talking about the hair color."
While some hesitated to doubt Lacus, one of her old friends, a tall, beautiful young woman with pink eyes and long, blonde hair that reached down to her that was wearing a rather revealing outfit, consisting of largely lavender material, with dark red and black gloves on her hands and a pair of lavender boots on her feet, the former Enji Knight of Nia Khera who became a Time Patrol Agent, Milla Maxwell ran up.
The blond woman looked relived before she waved." Lacus! We…we were so horrified that Doug Fitter or whatever monstrous allies he found killed you and Ben! What…what happened? Are you ok?"
Another friend of Lacus, a blond woman in a white battle suit who was known as the" White Canary," Sarah Lance ran up before she let an uneasy chuckle." Sorry to leave you guys hanging, was about to shut Rip up and find you with the Waverider no matter how "Impossible" it was suppose to be. What, what happened?"
As Trunks looked at the red-haired woman carefully, the Sliver Surfer flew up, and after squinting for a few moments his eyes widened with horror." Get away from that woman everyone! Regardless of what face is over that body she is not Lacus! Like Sieg, her body is composed of particles from countless universe's!"
Mike felt a lump in his throat before muttering," No…like dad…you're some…monster who took mom's face? You…what did, GUH!"
Suddenly the lanky man felt enough weight to force him to his knees as Mary had a black aura surge across her with enough intensity to make the entire Time Plaza shake. As she saw Mike look at him, her eyes hardened." All of you are once again…gravely misinformed.
You may call me Mary…Mary Nephilim Shekinah. I am hear to notify you that the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation has decided that this section of the universe is no longer needed now that the universe is under the leadership of Sieg V-Day Edel. Thus, this department will be liquidated and all who refuse to comply will be terminated."
The Supreme Kai of Time saw how casual Mary was before her jaw dropped." No…this…this should be impossible! Some like Demigra and traitors like Sealas may have sneaked into the Time Nest using hostages to open the door for them…but no one, not even Zannacross could get into here without being allowed in!"
Mary's grin just widened as she saw Tokitoki screeching at her before she tilted her head to the side." Sad little Kai…so use to your privilege that you thought things always would be as they were?
Truth is that I once managed a place just like this in another universe…so I knew just how to get in once I found a few traces of chrono energy to "Turn the key". Its time you all realize...your time is up."
Mary waved her hand before fibers of black energy shot out of her hands to head for the magical owl.
Tokitoki 's body flickered for a moment, before the webs shattered the energy around the divine bird. Trunks saw the Supreme Kai of Time, and countless others look mortified as Mary bound Tokitoki, and hurled him above her before he took out his sword." She froze the divine bird of time in place? What? You, what are you."
Mary had her aura flare up even more before even the likes of Trunks was pressed back and her eyes had a malevolent edge to them," Watch closely you sad pitiful boy. No matter how much you all deluded yourself otherwise...there is nothing in any universe that outmatch Sieg and myself! Watch closely now…you can either bow before your superiors or be crushed like the utter inferior simpletons you are!"
Mike watched on in horror as the woman with his mother's face raised a hand, and fired a red beam in the air. The beam hit the sky, and formed a wide red colored pentagram.
Moments later everyone watched on in horror as the Totality descended from the rift and into the Time Nest, with Sieg, Gingrich, and Carmen at his sides along with dozens of bronze and sliver Apex Ignister's.
Sieg saw the Supreme Kai of Time look at him with horror before he sprouted a vicious smirk, like a predator finding his prey." So you're the woman in charge of this department eh? Since your all-in theory the masters of time in these parts fair to say you heard of the term "Every hour wounds. The last one kills" yes?
If you thought that meaning did not apply to the so called "Masters" of time then your about to find out how wrong you are."
The Elder Kai saw Sieg's forces spread out before he raised his fist." You madman...you want to destroy everything because of your ego? No matter what power you have in your short time as a tyrant if you think you truly can, GUH!"
The moment the fifteenth generation Supreme Kai raised his fist Sieg took out a coin, and flicked it at the purple skinned man's head. As the Elder Kai was knocked back, before the others could go to him the coin exploded, shattering the senior Celestial One. As the remains of his body fell around his comrades, Sieg cleared his throat."
I don't care how old any of you are, even if you existed since this universe's creation it still does not mean you know more then me. By the time this is over, I will show I truly am better then everyone and everything.
As my secretary explained, I now am the master of your universe. And while I want this Prime Universe intact, I'm terminating the departments, and the workers in it, that serve no purpose to me."
Chronoa looked at how confident Sieg looked before she stepped back in shock." What…are you insane? This is…the core of the universe's time! Only…only someone who has no idea what they are doing could ever say something like that! If…if you destroy the Time Nest you will destroy everything, and the very fabric of existence will unravel!"
"Just because you can't grasp the depths of my vision woman, it does not mean it does not exist. You obsess over laws of time, when to me, god is not bound by laws, the laws are what pleases me, and lawlessness is what displeases me. All universe's I rule that are infected by norms that the" losers" use to prop themselves up must be purged, even if its the very history of that universe.
I take pleasure in being a " disruptive force" to the " Status Quo" to breaking the very fabric of reality to mold in my image.
Now Mary, release the Time Devourer."
Sieg snapped his fingers before a house sized parasitic creature serpent-headed creature had a body covered in long green fur with poison-tipped spines protruding out if its shell appeared at the base of his massive golden castle.
The bearded man snapped his finger again before Tokitoki was flung up to him. The time beard screeched at him before he smirked, and grasped Tokitoki by the head before snapping its neck. As Trunks, Chronoa and many more screamed out in horror he threw it at the creature known as Lavos, and it instantly devoured the divine bird.
The entire Time Nest started to shake, before the Totality unleashed a shock-wave of energy that hit the Time Nest, and caused the realities sky to turn red.
As fowl winds started to kick up Sieg made a beckoning gesture." No matter how high and mighty you thought you were, your just another rigid cog in an outdated machine that can no longer think "outside the box"
There is no longer a need for this universe's history, its never-ending present forever more is to be bound to the network of the Dark Multiverse, and my Infinite Victory and Conquest Establishment network, and above all else my will."
Mary waved her hand again, before Lavos, the Time-Devourer merged with the part of the Totality it was touching, and became a giant cable that shot down from the floating golden castle, to crash into the Time Vault before anyone could stop it.
Trunks saw smaller cables instantly spread out across Conton City before he grit his teeth." Sieg…is trying to absorb our universe's past and future into his own?"
"So the Prime Universe is not aware of Hyper Time then? Its simply a matter of covering every possible avenue. You were foolish enough to say you were the master of time, yet with the power to create Hyper Time…a web of time-streams outside any one universe, a chrono web consisting of an infinite number of realities that continually diverged and converged where they overlapped and circled back to connect to each other.
Thus, everything and anything that could be imaged existed. It's described best as the cosmic flow of timelines and histories that govern reality, and thus, also means that one universe is now severed from the past and future if it's linked to Hyper Time…meaning time travel won't change a thing, and meaning I can now tax not only a universe, but its past as well for even more revenue."
Astra saw how absolute Sieg looked before she winced." I'd say this guy's so up his own ass that he broke his brain but after what I seen him do guess he is not just vomiting out a drunken rant!"
Cortex saw the Totally seem to absorb the very core of his universe's time flow before he rubbed his head." Ok come on he's seriously trying to tax time now? Even a top class mad genius supervillain knows when you aim to big you just look stupid! If you tax what people don't have you get nothing!"
While Crash and Tawna both rolled their eyes, Sieg just snickered at the scientist's remark." Once more you just underestimate the depths of my vision. It does not matter if someone no longer has any material revenue to forfeit, if you then put a tax on there very life, then someone being "To poor" to have anything to give no longer has any excuse.
Every person in a universe, in the entirety of its past will pay a soul tax. After all, only the true master of all ensures they tax every single possible thing possible. To tax their time, to tax their dreams, there subconscious pleasures, every aspect of live, every moment of joy, even subconsciously, to have complete control over an entire universe's population and ensure that not a single one of them can have an ounce of joy without your approval, is the mark of total submission, the perfect absolute monopoly over all existence that makes one the true god!"
Mike saw Sieg looked dead serious before he gulped and let out an uneasy chuckle." Man…got the perfect god complex to top it off eh? I mean you have to be delusional when you think anyone else wants in on that sells pitch!"
The lanky man froze as Sieg looked at him like a beast ready to devour him before the man with his father's face grasped his and tightly." All that shows boy…is that you have the mindset of a loser. Of course, there are those who would be enticed by such a proposal, those who enjoy the perks of winning, and want to win it all.
The two at my side, Gingrich Cherbourg Zaslav Yammka and Carmen Idrissa Le Roi Harla are such beings that I permit to sit on my High Table. They of course had to prove themselves worthy of such a position, but after meeting my high expectations the reward was being able to rule over entire universe's as they see fit, answering only to me. High risk, high reward. But in the end what would you know about winning big boy?"
Sieg snapped his fingers before Mike was lifted into the air. Before anyone else could react he was in front of the bearded man, before Sieg grasped him by the throat. As the curly haired man yelled out in pain his attacked snickered before once more taking his parent's broken swords out of his pocket." You and I share…some very faint things in common, but its leagues apart. You seem to conduct scams to con the weak to mask your own weakness, I conduct operations that bring down entire universe's.
In the end it all boils down to one thing above all. One word... PERSISTENCE. Nothing in this universe, if not all of the multiverse can take the place of good old persistence. Talent won't. Nothing's more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius won't. Unrecognized genius is practically a cliche. Education won't. Why the universe, and the entire Multi-Verse," is full of educated fools. The killer instinct for persistence and determination to win no matter what happens are all powerful.
It's all about instinct, and your entire bloodline is utterly lacking in the killer instinct needed to truly win.
You know…I admit your father disgusted me more than most. Don't misunderstand, I killed countless counterparts of myself from other universe's by now.
Regardless of if the counterpart was a super powered caped crusader, An First class " SOLDIER", a Jedi Master, a Super Sayian, an Keyblade ace, a Power Ranger, a Sprit Detective, a Witcher, a Soul Reaper, a Newtype Gundam Meister, A SA rank Maverick Hunter, A Incredible Hulk, A Chozo armored Bounty Hunter, a Digimon Tamer, A wielder of the Speedforce, A Blade Edge Master, a Omega Mutant, a Gold Saint of Athena, a Spiral Energy Warrior, a Ghost Rider, a Spartan Commando, an SeeD commando, a Persona Wildcard user, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, a Street Shark, or any thing else you could think of, none of them could stop me, because all bound to the limits of hero's are to chained down by those weakness to win against me.
Yet...your father was the one most shackled of them all to such worthless ideals as heroism.
Many of those universal counterparts of your father were worthless nobodies, some more were heroes, and many more were even those who shared my values and ambitions, but merely had to change their face because I refused to let anyone else have the privilege of being the face of me.
But…in the end what made Ben Auro even more infuriating than others who clung to such things like" Heroism", or even more then the ones who lived there entire lives as worthless lonely failures, was that he managed to become the God of this Prime Universe in all but name, and failed so utterly.
To the very last moment his concern for kindness weakened him because he wanted to win the" moral way".
He wanted to be " Good" but I wanna win. And you don't get there by being some "aw shucks" kind of guy. There's no place in business for saps like that. Business is war. Business is the heart of everything that matters.
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat existence. If my competitor were drowning, I'd walk over and put a hose right in his mouth. Heh, hell I drowned a entire universe to break all who tried to get in my way. Anyone who can't match my will won't even come close to lasting against me.
The fact that he had centuries of failure and he still refused to embrace the truth showed how unworthy he truly was.
That's why, someone who let one's own former comrade ruin things so utterly…proves just how worthless it is for fools to have power they don't deserve...power is only fit for the winners.
Curse me all you want...but in the end this universe was already broken before I set one foot here, I'm merely here to bring salvation to all of those worthy of it."
Mike could not do much but squirm, but still snickered at the man choking him." Man, you just love to judge eh? I think pops did a bunch of things wrong to, but I give him some slack. After all…sounds like you never trusted anyone in your whole life. And I don't know how long you lived Sieg but no matter how powerful you are that sounds like one sad, GUH!"
Sieg sent a volt of lighting through his palm to make Mike cry out in pain before he grit out," Your parents clearly spoiled you far to much for you to not understand the situation you pathetic parasite. Your situation proves how worthless the ideals of the" Light" were. After all…your about to die with nothing while my values will soon give me everything."
The man with Ben's face raised his hand, before one of his sliver Apex Ignister's ran up and bowed." Mister V-Day, before you kill Ben Auro's son may I get a shot at him? I won't deny you what you desire, but since you already killed his parents, I want at least a piece of his son's flesh to repay how much time they wasted from me!"
Sieg saw that the man who asked him the question was none other than Foch, before he closed his eyes." Sure…I'm not to picky about someone so pathetic. If one of this boy's severed limbs will be a good trophy for the quarters, then go for it…just make it quick."
Foch nodded before his right arm morphed into a blade. As Mike looked at him the man who formerly served his father hunched over." Michael Auro…your family made us all suffer because of there failures! With your parents gone you will give me what they own me!"
Before he could Megaman, Crash, 2B, Ratchet, and countless citizens of the Time Nest fired projectiles at him. With the wave of his hand Sieg had all the incoming attacks shatter.
But as he did, the Sliver Surfer dashed at Mike with his full speed, and was fast enough to get Mike out of Sieg's grip, and also grasp the broken hilts of the Divine Mugen Nova and the Oath Keeper.
As soon as Sieg noticed what was taken from him Trunks flew above him and yelled out," SEIG! You're going to pay for everything you done!"
Trunks's eyes turned green, and his hair turned golden before his aura flared up and had lighting crackle around it. The Time Patrol agent made a few rapid hand gestures before yelling out," FINISH BUSTER!"
The Super Saiyan unleashed a powerful blue energy beam at Sieg, but his target waved his hand to bat it aside. Foch jumped up as well while hissing out," Its useless…no power in any universe is enough to stop the, huh?"
Foch heard a yell and looked up, just in time to see Trunks come at him with his sword. Before the traitor to the Bethel Kingdom could raise his own limbs, his golden haired attacker slashed right through him.
Trunks saw his enemies shock and merely sliced and diced his target before even having a chance to counter attack. Before the new member of IV&C could even start to fall apart Trunks extended his free hand." This is for Gabriel you bastard."
Sieg heard Foch's death cry and merely snickered." Ah…straight to business eh? Trunks…the last version of you I killed had blue hair. I would prefer your not as pathetic as him."
Trunks saw how casual Sieg looked before cracking his neck." Trying to rattle me by acting like you killed dozens of versions of me from different universe's eh? I don't really care how you try and explain yourself. For what you done to the Time Nest, Tokitoki, and the countless innocent lives you taken I'm going to take you down!"
"Bold words Saiyan." Sieg bluntly retorted." But the words of a fool. If your really in this universe someone who's fought across history I figured you would realize by now when you face a superior enemy."
"I'm no fool." Trunks bitterly retorted." I know how powerful you are…but I just can't afford to lose!"
Sieg looked amused as he saw countless of the Time Patrollers' comrades surround him and cracked his neck." Desperation of the damned eh? I can respect those who don't try and deny what can't be changed and try to make there final moments respectful ones.
But know this…it does not matter what you think you know, all your tricks and efforts are just delaying the inevitable. Because even though we may both have golden hair…I assure you the gap between us is one you can never close."
"If that's the case then I'll just have to go beyond my limits!"
Trunks shouted out as veins formed on his forehead. Suddenly his aura changed once more before his hair turned magenta-red while his eyes become more detailed and the irises became red.
Sieg noticed Trunk's aura became that of a raging fire before he looked amused." Ah…so you pushed yourself all the way to become a Super Saiyan God in this reality eh? I'll concede that's more impressive than most. But even reaching a level of a mere "god" is nothing in the face of someone as evolved as me."
Trunks winced before he got into a fighting stance. "I remember the last guy who thought he was " Perfect" and it did not end well for him! Chronoa…its now or never!"
"Right!" The Supreme Kai of Time uttered bitterly." Do whatever it takes to stop him Trunks!"
She fired a beam at his sword as she said that, before his blade transformed into a broadsword type that was crystalline and blue. As soon as Trunks grasped his transformed blade, in a flash he attacked Sieg.
His target blocked the blow, but Sieg's face expressed a slight amount of surprise as his arm was pushed back an inch, and a shock-wave powerful enough to shake the entire Totality castle was unleashed.
Sieg saw Trunk's determination before his eyes widened." I see your very determined. Very well, entertain me enough and at least your termination won't be too painful."
Trunks just gave a battle cry and unleashed a barrage of sword slashes that each looked like rays of light. Mike could hardly see Trunks move but just gulped." Damn…dad did say Trunks was one of the guys he trusted the most but I did not realize he got this strong!"
The Sliver Surfer eyed the rest of Sieg's forces carefully before he turned to Ben's son." The Key Sword Trunks wields is not quite the caliber of power that the Divine Mugen Nova is, but it should give him extra protection.
Still, this place is one where people below a certain power level can be erased in an instant. Prince Auro, you and the rest of your crew get to the time shelter!"
Mike saw the grim resolution of the man on the floating surfboard before he winced." And what about you?"
"Whatever it takes to ensure this universe does not become dominated by such a demented tyrant. Run as fast as you can, all of you!"
Sieg saw some of the citizens of the Time Nest were indeed trying to flee before he chuckled." A rather worthless gesture, there is no where to run in this universe or any other that won't be under my control and none of your outdated toys can do a thing to stop such gears of destiny from rolling forward."
Trunks grit his teeth before hissing out," Don't underestimate the power of the Key Sword Sieg!"
Sieg narrowed his eyes before backhanding Trunks in the face. As the man with the power of a Super Saiyan God stabilized himself Sieg casually went through his pockets." Don't you realize how futile it is challenging someone with a tool of god, against someone with the power of god? I'll make things clear even to stubborn fools like you."
Trunks braced himself before he was wary as Sieg seemed to take out a normal, if golden colored pen. As his opponent swerved the pen around a few times the Saiyan narrowed his eyes." This is all just a game to you eh?"
"Don't misunderstand boy, everything is a game to me. I don't need anyone's blessing, I'm the one who gives the blessings. And if I say this random pen is now the ultimate blade of the universe, then thus a new legend is born!"
Trunks saw the pen suddenly shimmer with golden energy before in a flash his opponent was above him. The Time Patrol agent raised his sword, and parried Sieg's jab. In less then a second Sieg swerved the pen around and tried to decapitate his target.
The son of Vegeta dodged the slash, but the pen unleashed a wave of golden energy around it to slice across Trunks's cheek.
The Super Saiyan saw blood come out of his face, and hardened himself before unleashing a slash of his own. While he was fast enough to unleash countless blows per second, Sieg casually parried each strike, looking amused at Trunk's desperation." Is it starting to sink in yet? I have what you would call a true Midas touch, for everything I touch not only becomes golden, with my blessing it becomes the embodiment of power, a symbol of victory.
No matter what this Supreme Kai of Time and Ben Auro's worthless offspring have done, I hope you feel proud dying for nothing."
Sieg prepared to raise his other fist, till he sensed something, and swerved around to see the Sliver Surfer bursting at him with his board. While the sliver coated being moved at the speed of light, Sieg casually caught the strike with his bare hand.
While he looked amused at the result, suddenly Spawn jumped right out behind the Sliver Surfer before extending his cape." We are no fools jackass…time for one hell of a party."
Trunks and the Sliver Surfer both struck Sieg, as Spawn expanded his cape. Sieg saw a few more of Trunks 's allies fly up just as Spawn's eyes glowed green, before suddenly a flash of light went off.
When Sieg opened his eyes he looked around and saw he was in a area composed of a black landscape, with many irregular columns covered in veins of lava jutting out from the ground.
Sieg saw Trunks, Spawn, the Sliver Surfer and the half dozen new arrivals who flew up just before Spawn warped everyone before he snickered." A fragment of what remains of this universe's hell eh? You really think any thing can contain me?"
Spawn had green energy become a sword before he grasped it tightly." You sinned on a scale reserved for deities, you better bet your smug ass your reckoning has come for you. I don't care if your really from another universe, we planned a hole operation just for Doug Fitter and guess your now the stand in."
Sieg closed his eyes before he cleared his throat." You really think you can judge me? Don't you realize that I'm not trapped here, your trapped with me?"
Trunks saw the ones who just arrived to help him, including other former" Z Fighters" like the reincarnation of Majin Buu, Ubb, and some other allies of Goku including the green warrior Pikkion and the purple assassin Hit, another Sayian warrior Cabba, a few other warriors such as another warden of hell, Spiritus, some warriors called the" Seven Deadly Sins," and the Konatsian warrior Tapion before he got into a fighting stance." No matter what…if it gives time for the Supreme Kai of time to advert this sick attempt to assimilate are universe's history into your "business" then its worth it!"
Sieg looked up and heard roars before he glanced to the right and saw very large beings who walk up on all fours that had elongated skull-like heads and a large piece of armor on their right shoulders before he smirked." They have Kushanāda in this hell eh? Of course. But you think just removing me from the operation for a moment will cause my forces to run around like feckless Chocobo's? While I am always above others, I don't employ unworthy directors. I'd wager by the time I'm done playing with you lot, I'll be awaited my prize."
"No matter what…we are going to make you see are universe is not just some game to you " V-Day!"
The Kushanāda roared and tried to stab Sieg with there giant swords. But there target's eyes glowed before he sent a shock-wave that shattered hell's native enforcers in a instant and blew the others back before he looked murderous." Before this is over this entire universe will learn that no one, not devils, angels, or even" gods" can judge the true winners, the ones that are truly above any others judgment!"
Trunks just cried out as he, Spawn, the Sliver Surfer, Ubb, and the rest of his group attacked the leader of the IV&C from all directions.
As the Time Patrollers prepared to give everything, they have to ensure Sieg did not have his way, his sudden departure from the Time Nest did not disturb them one bit.
Gingrich saw Sieg vanish, saw he was not back a few moments later, and turned to Mary before cracking his neck." So…how picky was the boss man about the state of things here?"
Mary closed her eyes before flicking hair out of her face and glancing at the upside down man." The reconfiguration to synchronize this Prime Universe with the Negaverse is still ongoing, so show some restraint. Still, this Supreme Kai of Time and the Prince are the only ones needed alive."
"Now that's what I'm talking about." The bald pale man retorted as he sprouted a shark like grin. Carmen laughed before she jumped down and widened her hand before four sliver orbs flew around her." Hey y'hal. Hope all my fans across the multiverse are watching because your goddess is about to make the top ten- Photobombs of the year! IV&C subscribers who show there support the most will get a bonus after I and the top enforcers of IC&V lay down the law on these out-of-date fossils!"
Carmen just looked amused as she got surrounded on all sides. The one in front of her, a Digimon that was one of the surviving members of the Duodecim Royal Knights, one clad in heavy black armor with gold trimmings that had airfoils attached to it pauldrons with gold spoilers on the bottom and a smaller patch of closed spoilers along the tips take out a large blade." You abomination…I, Alphamon, and the rest of the divine royal knights will fulfill are duty and punish you for your transgressions! Examon… Gankoomon…Jesmon lets pincer this spider eyed harlot so we can assist Sir Trunks!"
Carmen saw Alphamon take out its Divine Sword Grade Alpha blade before she rolled her eyes." Wow…total mood killer. Trying to keep the banter light here K? But guess haters got to hate eh fam? But sure go total old school on me fossils, its going to make even more enjoyable photobombs while I have fun seeing between Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, which of my blades will get to drink the most!"
The red-haired woman threw out three swords and caught two of them, while catching another one with her tongue. As she did, the royal Knight behind her, a massive, large red dragon with green eyes, large torn wings, and a large tail that had multiple horns on its head, the largest being its frontal horn, and its two back horns, that had white scales in the front of its body, going from its chest, to its tail.
Its hands have three fingers on each hand, and three toes on each foot, and a claw on each on each finger and toe, that was wearing gold ornaments on its claws, frontal horn, and the spikes on its wings, that welded the "Ambrosius", a gigantic black lance, that had many red gems on its chest, thighs, frontal horn, back horns, and the top spikes of its wings, let out a giant roar." Abomination from the void across the universe…no matter how many swords you have its not enough to match the Royal Knights!"
Carmen rolled her eyes before those eyes started to glow." Oh yah? If your so great then how come you had to hide in the core of time before we dragged you out eh? Bet your all bark and no bite eh big guy?"
"Damn you… Dragonic Impact!"
The Royal Knight dove from the exosphere and performed a ramming attack shrouded in heat from friction with the atmosphere, but while Examon moved as fast as a sonic boom, Carmen blocked the strike with the blade from her mouth, and was not even moved back an inch.
The member of Sieg's "Board of Genocidal Directors" looked up and had a wild look in her eyes." That really you're A game? We can't have things end this fast dude, I just got a spike in concurrent soul viewers!"
The Royal Knight to her right, a humanoid man in white armor with blazing red hair, a overcoat that looked like tiger fur, and a aura shaped like a dragon cracked his neck." If you like an audience that much I'm sure you are going down is going to get a lot of attention lady. Tekken Seisa!"
Gankoomon burst at Carmen and unleashed a barrage of punch's that were so fast they looked like a barrage of lighting strikes.
The Royal Knight's target saw the attacks coming and casually parried each strike while looking amused. "Looks like these fossils don't lack passion eh fam? To bad they just can't keep up with the times!"
"We will see about that…eh Jesmon?"
"Don't really care what has been's think dude…just choke on your own throat already."
Carmen swerved her mouth blade to try and decapitate Gankoomon, only for a red blade that had the words," FORCED TERMINATION" to parry the strike. She looked up and saw the blade came from a tail from the Royal Knight that's arms were all blades before the new arrival had an aura of energy erupt." Some things, like are duty, are timeless! Un Pour Tous!"
Jesmon fired a beam from its red blades, and while Carmen was pushed back her attacker cried out," Now Alphamon!"
The leader of the Royal Knights flew up before crying out," Kyūkyokusenjin Ouryūken!"
Carmen saw Alphamon charging at her with its sword surging with energy, and that Examon was coming at her as well while crying out," Caledfwlch Dive!"
Despite being attacked in all directions she just giggled in disgust." Think that tacky eyesore can slice this package of awesome down? Hah…you got it all wrong. The one who's pinned down is you!"
The woman from another universe had her back twitch, before suddenly six spider like limbs on each side of her back burst out, and extended much faster than her foes expected, before stabbing the four Royal Knights around her.
Carmen licked her lips as blood fell into her mouth before giggling once more and her eyes flashed like they were a camera taking a picture." And you just got photo bombed! That's the blood of the best of the best here? Total let down! Still you're all showing your age when you thought four swords was to much! Here out in the Multiverse…the Deca sword style is just warming up!"
Gankoomon saw Carmen's back was turned to him, and cried out," Ultimate Sengi Tengyouke!"
The Royal Knight unleashed a flawless, pulverizing uppercut that condenses all of his energy in his right hand. But to his shock when his fist went for the back of his opponent's head, a new mouth suddenly opened up and bit Gankoomon's hand.
Carmen heard her opponent's shocked cry of pain and swerved her head around with a look of pure sadism." Oh, if you wanted to be first then why did you just not say so? If I knew I would have let my sister get warmed up! What's he taste like Jaguara?"
A tongue burst out of the new mouth and grasped around the Royal Knight's neck to lick the blood before a deeper more feral female voice hissed out," This man's flesh tastes overcooked, like its already expiring but is too overconfident to submit to the truth."
Carmen's eyes widened before responding with a wild," Then what do you say fam…how about we make it clear just how things are going to end for the fossils eh?"
The second mouth bit down hard enough to rip off and devour the fist of its target, causing its owner to cry out in pain. Alphamon saw his comrade was about to be ripped apart before energy surged across its body." No…the final legacy of the Royal Knights won't be just the meal of some crazed harlot! Mode Change… Ouryuken mode!"
Alphamon unleashed enough power to force the blade leg in its gut off before he grown majestic, feathery wings out of the airfoils on his back, as an eponymous sword formed in his hand.
As Carmen glanced at her transformed opponent Alphamon shouted out," Divine Sword Grade Alpha!" Before the leader of the Royal Knights drew out a convergence of light that was pierced into the center of a magic circle that suddenly appeared.
Carmen saw a flash of light and saw the sword was coming for her gut, and had her blade legs parry the strike before seeing blood come out of her cheeks. The reaction just caused Carmen to look even more erratic though." Hahaha…we are at the whole cornered animal thing eh? That's it…go for broke…my fans love seeing losers squirm!"
Jesmon cried out in defiance before powering up as well." Then your fans will be disappointed wench…the Royal Knights don't cower no matter the odds! The fate of the universe is on the line…we must give it everything! Aus Generics…and Seiken Meppa!"
The Royal Knight released his own limiter as his entire body glowed red, and with the roar of a dragon he was like a ray of light as he moved so fast it like dozens of him were attacking Carmen at once.
The member of the Multiverse genocidal Board of Directors was able to parry the barrage, but as both he and Alphamon attacked she realized she was getting cut before she licked her lips." Oh man…guess you guys are not totally rotten. Still…your so out of your league and you don't even know it. But time to get a firsthand taste of what is badass sword skills from all over the Multiverse! You're not a real super ace unless your blade can cut reality itself…like yours truley!
Purgatory Jigen Tō Giri!"
Carmen's eyes widened, and her whole body bulked up before her swords shimmered with the color of chartreuse yellow. She then slashed in all directions, spinning around like a tornado before unleashing a flash like a lighting bolt.
As she emerged some distance to the right, Alphamon and Jesmon suddenly stopped, as blood came out of their arms.
Moments later, tears in the very fabric of time and space ripped open before the leader of the Royal Knights looked on in horror." Her blades…they have power on par with the Divine Mugen Nova! But…that power...it."
"Still don't get it?" Carmen spat out with sheer contempt." We don't play by your rules chrome dome! Cutting through space and dimensions is easy peasy after you consumed the energy of a hell of a lot of universe's and every soul in it!"
Alphamon winced before grasping his blade tightly." You wear such a sin like a badge of honor? Terms like monster and demon don't even begin to describe what a horrible being you are!"
"Duh…that's the point! I'm beyond what any one lame 3D life form can define!"
"No matter how much you have mastered the sword…that does not mean your beyond answering for what you done! Blitz her till she can't swing her blades!"
Jesmon glanced at his leader and nodded." Schwertflügel!"
At the same time Examon roared out," Pendragon's Glory!"
While Gunkomon staggered a few steps before roaring out," Tetsu Geta Harite!"
Carmen saw attacks coming at her from all directions, before easily slicing through them like they were butter. She was about to yell out something before Alphamon suddenly tackled her.
He used all of his strength and size to keep his opponent pinned down. The Royal Knight saw Carmen looked annoyed before the larger being cried out," Even if your swords can carve the very fabric of reality asunder, it won't help you if you can't swing them!"
Carmen's right eye twitched before she licked her lips." You in that big a rush to die big guy?"
"If it means taking you down with me…then yes! We Royal Knights will do whatever it takes to uphold are duty!"
"Aw…your so sappy it makes me want to hurl! Or maybe just carve your sappy mouth into pieces! I don't even needs blades to rip apart a sappy fossil like you! After all…chainsaws do just fine to!"
Alphamon widened his eyes, before Carmen's spider legs ripped and twitched, and they transformed from blades to chainsaws that were crackling with blood red energy.
Just as the Royal Knight realized what she was doing Carmen laughed madly before her new chainsaw limbs tore right through the Royal Knight's Chrome Digizoid armor.
While her target was roaring in pain Carmen looked ecstatic." That's it…that's the look! We got another photobomb today fam! Sieg was right...this is turning out to be a fun day!"
"You." Alphamon uttered with pain as he struggled to keep his body from being ripped apart." Someone who's scales are so steeply scaled on the side of evil will never get away from this. To many…want to see you brought to justice."
Carmen's eyes twitched before she spat out an erratic," Aw…turn that frown upside down dude! Wait…can you even frown? I'll carve one for yah! Besides…you got it all wrong chrome dome…don't matter how many losers in this Prime Universe are hoping you can bail them out…I still got trillions of fans in countless universe's cheering every moment of my universal stream! And just so you don't think I'm crazy, look at this!"
Carmen's left eye glowed before it shot a beam above, and showed an image of entire cities of various stages of advancement showing humans and other life forms with various sighs expressing support for Carmen, some worshiping her at temples like she was a god.
Alphamon saw how passionate the fans looked before he winced." Mind controlling or subjecting followers out of fear means nothing. You, GUH!"
Carmen showed how little she cared for the Royal Knight's by stabbing his throat. He was then dragged right into her face while she licked him." Even a stuck up tool like you has to see how it is at this point right?
Everything you promised the folks here amounted to nothing, while I'm worshiped like the goddess I am because I don't waste time on empty things like justice or peace, only glory! That's right, Carmen Idrissa Harla knows how to deliver the carnage! Equality may be a lie, but as long as someone else is suffering worst its not to bad eh?
I and my sisters survived this long because we were not conned by lies, but know how to win! I'm not one of you has been knights, I'm someone who knows how to kill, no matter who it is that's in my way! Think of it this way…after all you did your true moment of greatest was being re-posted across all the universe's from everyone that worships me!"
Alphamon cried out one last roar of defiance, before Carmen ripped him apart! As his head fell on his killer's right arm, the red-haired lady saw the other Royal Knights look at her with horror before she licked the severed head." Ah don't give me that look boys you're getting it off easy! Seriously…you should see how the other guys here play with there food! So come on…make this fun for me before I get bored and let the others get a turn with yah!"
Jesmon saw how sadistic Carmen looked before he took a deep breath." Shinryudramon…it may be up to you to ensure the legacy of the Royal Knights does not end in failure. No matter what…we will never give up!"
Carmen rolled her eyes before she grasped her swords tightly." Man do you guys really think your so noble right now? You should see how pathetic you look…I think I'll help! Spatial Blitz Slice!"
A purple sphere suddenly exploded out of Carmen and expanded past the Royal Knights. The three surviving Digimon braced themselves, before they suddenly felt pain erupting out of there entire bodies. Jesmon closed his eyes out of shock, and for a moment felt he was dead.
When he opened his eyes he blinked a few times, and felt something was off, before he saw Examon's head seemed to be on his body. He then looked down to see his body was on his comrade's head, and on top of that his arm and the arm of Gunkomon's had switched. As his comrades yelled out in horror the suddenly altered Royal Knight muttered," Did…did she freeze time? My…my head is not on my body!"
"Took you that long to figure it out eh?" Carmen uttered smugly." Once you're in the territory of my aura, I can exert complete control over the fabric of space, and you can think of it as the ability to "operate" on or " Edit" anything within this spherical "operating room or editing area and all that jazz.
I can reassemble things into various combinations; and as you can see even attach living body parts to inanimate objects. Living things cut into pieces by this power remain alive and still able to move, even if the head is removed from the body.
So now…my makeover of you losers is complete. What you think fam?"
The royal knights realized in horror that their bodies were complete reconfigured in a instant before Examon cried out," No…NO! You can't, GUH!"
Carmen stabbed him in an instant before looking right in his face." Don't you get it? I can do what I want…because you, and everyone in this universe is at the mercy of me and boss man "V-Day!" Better just suck it up…because you're all learning the hard way that no one in any universe can do a thing about it! I think I'm feeling generous so I'm going to let my fans think of what shape you should be…before you die! Hashtag killing losers...hashtag total multiverse takeover...hashtag biggist badass across any universe, and party time!"
With there bodies switched around in an instant, the royal knights could do little more than scream as their attacker showed the full extent of her sadistic pleasures. As horrifying as her acts were, her comrades were displaying equally horrible displays.
At the same time as Carmen started to attack, Gingrich was surrounded by even more defenders of the Time Nest, and just looked amused. Still casually floating upside down, the other member of IV&C's Genocidal Board of Directors saw how surrounded he was and just smirked." So how you want this to go down? Don't get me wrong your all suffering big time…but if you play it smart some of you might make it out of this in one piece. The choice is yours but choose now…I don't like waiting to eat and you eyesores are already getting me in a bad mood with all the dirty looks daring to think you can disrespect me and get away with it."
One of the individuals confronting him was a red skinned demon with an enlarged arm and shaved off horns. The demonic man rolled his eyes before pointing his large revolver called" "Good Samaritan", at the man." Seriously? Have you seen yourself in a mirror asshole? Or you can't see them cause you're to upside down to notice?"
Geno saw Gingrich lick his lips before he motioned to his demonic ally." Be on guard Hell-Boy! This abomination from outside the Universe clearly has some tricks up his sleeves."
Hell-Boy shrugged before he looked around." I mean they are not being very subtle about wanting to kill us all so lets just shut them down in case their boss breaks out of where Spawn and Trunks sent him!"
The Upside-Down Man snorted before cracking his neck." You mooks still clinging on to hope? Forget about it…Sieg is unstoppable but if we needed him over are shoulder to do our jobs to get things done we would not be here in the first place.
I erased more universe's than I can count on my own…this is just me tagging along to get in a extra " Brunch" before Sieg nabbed everything himself. I'm not in the mood to play games so to lay I tout there…you grubs got no chance of walking out of this alive."
A man looked like a humanoid horse in armor, a member of the Korbinite race who gained the power of Thor, Beta Ray Bill, took to the air and had lighting crackle around the hammer he was holding." You boast quite a lot you upside down fiend! But your hunger will be quelled, by the fury of Beta Ray Bill! No time for games…it seems you confessed to killing trillions of innocent lives and want to harm our universe as well! For the sake of everyone you must fall! For the sake of the Korbinite race! Divine Thunder!"
Beta Ray Bill had lighting strike his hammer before he unleashed a bolt at the Upside Down Man. At the same time Hell-Boy smirked before aiming his gun at Gingrich." Sounds good to me!"
The demon threw a grenade of fire and brimstone at the opponent, and as it unleashed a explosive flash Geno tensed up." Don't give him a second to strike back! Geno Flash!"
The blue caped celestial one that once helped Mario unleashed a barrage of multi colored energy blasts. At the same time a gunman named Cable had the gun in his arm transform before crying out," Hyper-Viper Beam!"
As he fired a wavy blue energy blast the Namekian warrior Piccolo put his right hand up to his forehead." Sorry to keep you waiting…but this is the fight you're looking for! Special Beam Cannon!"
As the veteran green colored warrior suddenly turned orange as his energy surged and he fired off a corkscrew shaped red and purple energy blast, a man in red and white armor jumped up above Gingrich." No matter how powerful you are villain, you can't escape justice on an Ultraman's watch! Especially the Time Patrol version! Specium Ray!"
The armored Time Patrol agent had his forearms form a cross stance, with his left arm in a horizontal position and placed forward while his right arm is in a vertical position and placed backward, reflecting a shuriken. He then unleashed a massive beam of white energy.
As he did a former warrior from the Legion of Superhero's, Lighting Lad, unleashed his own massive lightning bolt, as a red helmeted armored ranger, the " Quantum Ranger" fired an energy beam from his Quantum Defender Blaster, as the sliver time traveling hedgehog named" Sliver" threw some boulders with his psychokinesis, as the former long time friend of the Lylat King Atem, now known as Palladium Oracle Mahad summoned the creature Exodia to fire a massive energy blast,
As a warrior in a red outfit with a lighting bolt across his chest, Billy Batson, cried out," Shazam!" Before a massive lighting bolt burst out, while the " Fairy King" also known by the names," Sloth," Fairy King Harlequin, and more fired a golden beam of energy, as another former friend of Goku, the three eyed man named Tien put his hands together and cried out," Omega Tri-Beam!"
As another wizard, a blond haired man in a brown trench coat, John Constantine unleashed a variation of a Ultima spell, warriors on all sides added to the bombardment.
When at last everyone that could get in the area at time added their attack to a mix a multicolored explosion roared out. While it shook the very Time Nest, any hopes the group had of it taking down the Upside-Down enemy in front of them quickly transformed to dread as a snicker could be heard, before the explosion was suddenly being slurped up like before it could even finish, like someone was quickly slurping up a milkshake.
Soon Gingrich could be seen, casually sucking in all of the energy from everyone's attacks. The bald man licked his lips when he was done before shrugging." That's the best you got? Your energy's like the rest of this "Prime Universe"…overripe…rotten…like its way past its expiration date!"
Geno was one of the many tense at the outcome before he stepped back." He…he can devour energy like its just food to him? Even so…some of those projectiles were pricing types!"
Piccolo winced as he looked at his enemies mouth." Damn it...is he like that " Gourmet" demon NEO Acacia that Trunks fought a second time in Battleworld with Lacus?"
Gingrich eyed the Namek and snorted in amusement." You think I'm just a mere mook like that? That's rich. Nah I know Gourmet demons, and they are just my muscle! Still think the IV&C deals with amateurs? I don't just eat whatever's in my way, I slow it down and mash it up to make it taste better! You all think you know stuff just because you seen history across one universe?
You still don't know what real horror is, and you're looking at horror personified if I don't say so myself cause I take my job really damn seriously. Seriously you're just trying to throw a bucket of water on a whole damn planet of liquid and hope you drown it! Since you already threw everything you got at me I think I'll just go on and kill you."
John Constantine winced before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Come on blokes…all of us here together can figure out how to get around one bald asshole absorbing are powers eh?"
Geno winced as he fell to his knee." Maybe…but we better do it fast. I already feel like I can only throw a few more spells at there best."
Hell-Boy looked around and saw others were looking strained before he raised an eyebrow." The hell guys did you beat each other up before these assholes showed up cause this freak's not even attacked yet! I mean…I don't smell any poison or something."
Another in the group, the green-skinned, blond-haired teenage Coluan of the planet Colu that went by Brainiac 5 had his eyes glow before he looked alarmed." No…its not poison, but its just as bad. All of are energy, regardless of the type is being drawn to him like a magnet!"
Piccolo saw Gingrich just grin wider before he grit his teeth." Wait…there was an enemy Goku and I fought back in the old days, some goat faced monster that called himself Moro. He, he could drain the energy of everyone on an entire planet and do it while doing other things so if its like this…we are in trouble."
"Heh…of course there was a Moro in this universe to." Gingrich spat out smugly." I got about five goat faced smucks with the same name working for me…keeping a few variations to keep each of them on there toes. Yah…you can say I got something like that going on, makes it a whole lot easier then having to put my hand on one or two pissants at a time and all and I'm a man who's very fond of being productive!"
Constantine narrowed his eyes before he threw the cigarette out of his mouth." Think we are just a meal for yah mate? You may be one very hungry hungry upside-down hippo but we did not get this far folding when some bastard has one ace up his sleeve! Hey boys lets, GUH!"
In a flash Gingrich showed he was not just going to stand around the whole time as he dashed at the magician before he could blink, and punched through his heart. As Constantine coughed up blood Gingrich, still upside down licked the blood dripping down his arm before he snorted." Man things must be really slack in this Prime Universe if you think you can just mouth off to guys trying to kill yah.
Just because I can suck up energy around me, don't mean I can't speed it off even more yah know? Besides…I could smell the demon blood in yah smartass, so I think I'll devour you before you rot anymore! Cause you better believe there is going to be a lot of rotting going on here before the day's over!"
Piccolo winced as he saw Constantine dying in front of him." Damn it, think fast guys we are running out of time!"
Gingrich saw the green warrior fly above him before his eyes glowed red." You guys can forget about winning this its legit not gonna happen no matter what you do. You know…seriously, fuhgeddaboudit!"
Gingrich had veins form on his bald head before his jaw extended and he sucked the very air , like he was a living tornado. Hell-Boy grasped Brainiac 5 to keep him from being sucked away before the smaller man winced." Just have to endure his assault a few more moments, cause I calculate a plan to get through his powers. It was a method to get through gourmet cells so it should work! It, it just requires you to, huh? Wait…I just had that idea a second ago."
"Seriously?" Hell-Boy muttered in disgust." No time to be scatter brained! Got to focus during crunch time!"
"Yes, I know it's just…I'm having trouble focusing and…who are you again? I…don't remember?"
Before Hell-Boy could respond the Ultraman grasped his head before looking around." Wait…where is this place? How did I get here?"
Beta Ray Bill winced as he saw Gingrich looked even more amused." No…I'm no scientist but this fiend almost seems to be absorbing our memories as easily as are energy!"
"Not almost horse face, I am!" Gingrich grunted out." After all in the end memory is the reactivation of a specific group of neurons, formed from persistent changes in the strength of connections between neurons depending on how most life form's brains work.
Even if it's a little different here and there, in the end it all comes down to a form of energy, and I can suck up all energy! Meaning I can eat those precious chains of memories you all have!
Had to make sure I devour everything from a tricky SOB when I was moving up in the ranks, and the best way to make sure a pain in the ass can't pull a fast one on yah is make them forget about it!
I been sucking up your memories since I got here, but most of you guys seem to have been kicking it so long that your jam packed with memories. That might overwhelm an armature but, I can, and have devoured the memories of everyone in an entire universe.
Well…if I'm being honest, I left one sucker alive just to prove my point, but you get the idea right? See there's this whole thing when even when you take everything a pissant owns they still have some cherished memory, or even a memory of hate to keep them going. But the IV&C does not mess around. If you piss us off, we will take everything, even things you thought no one could take from yah! That's because we can take anything from everyone!"
Beta-Ray Bill realized he was having trouble remembering things before he hissed out," You…you're on par with Zannacross and the Beyonder as one of the foulest beings in existence! On the name of…I…I can't remember my wife's name? Damn you, you can't get away with this!"
The horse faced warrior charged at full speed to smash the Upside-Down Man, but Gingrich did not even bother to dodge, and just opened his mouth to bite down on the attacker's fist.
While Beta-Ray Bill discharged lighting down his opponent's throat, his opponent just laughed before biting down hard on his attacker. As his target yelled in pain, the pale man grabbed him by the throat." Still don't get it yet? I can do whatever I want with MY property, cause this whole universe is now the property of the IV&C! No matter how much you're going to resist your all going to learn that I OWN YOU ALL! Those memories, are mine to do with what I damn want with!"
Before he could rip Beta-Ray Bill apart, Hell-Boy dashed at the elite follower of Sieg and slammed his large" Right Hand of Doom" down his opponent's throat.
At the same time Piccolo turned into a giant to try and bind the upside down enemy while Mahado summoned Obelisk The Tormentor to attack with the Omni-Hand Crusher strike.
As Hell-Boy saw his opponent looking at him he just snickered." "Funny thing about forgetting things. I like not knowing.
I've gotten by for fifty-two years thousand without knowing. I sleep good not knowing a few things I had to do with some of my former boss's. But the one thing I won't forget, is the promise I made to my pals.
Max…I promised him that the rest of the Diamond Dog Commandos would hold the fort while he did his job. If you're the bastard that took him out, or even just related to the guy who killed him then we are not giving up till at least your going with us!"
Gingrich saw Hell-boy have demonic energy crackle around him, and felt a massive amount of energy go down his throat, but just laughed before he easily bit down and cracked both Storm Breaker and Hell-Boy's Hand of Doom before hissing out," Oh…so you're that pack that sucka was talking about eh?
Heh…maybe your already forgetting things but sounds like you did not know your "Big Boss" as much as you thought eh? If you did…you would have realized how blind you all were about things! But hell it means I can teach you here so works for me!"
"You don't know what you're talking about you son of a, GUH!"
Gingrich suddenly had tentacles burst out of his chest and his back to impale Hell-Boy, Beta-Ray Bill, Obelisk, Piccolo, Tien, and a few others that were just about to try and attack him form behind before he laughed loudly." Oh but I do "tough guy". You think you know a few things just because you move through one universe's history? I seen more universe's than all you tools here! And the one thing that don't change one bit, is that when the chips are down, the fools go down with the ship, and everyone sees who the losers really are.
And now you're trying to mock someone who is limitless, who's infinite! I'm taking this shape so your small minds can even comprehend who's killing yah and because Sieg wants this part of your universe intact to have his way with it, and he's the only one in the whole god damn Multiverse that can get me to hold back! All you suckers though all these worthless things mattered, but when its crunch time everyone's gonna see where things stand in every universe, once and for all!"
Gingrich laughed at the screams he heard, as he just unleashed an even more vicious onslaught as a result. As horrible as an assault as it was, some were to focused on getting away from the horrors to focus to much.
As soon as the fighting started Mike, Astra, and their group were being escorted by Clank's father. Mike tried to focus on Orvus's instructions but could not help but glance at the hilts of his parents broken swords the Sliver Surfer gave him.
He glanced at the broken Oath-Keeper sword before he winced. Mom…did Sieg make you his slave? Is that…even you at all? Please, please don't be the last time I see you being, huh?
To his horror Mary was suddenly in front of everyone. The detached expression on her face morphed to one of slight amusement before she crossed her arms." Your misinformed or deluded if you thought you could get away just because Mr.V-Day has been…occupied. Once he decides something, nothing in all of existence can change that."
Astra spat on the ground before she got into a fighting stance and had her aura flare up." Oh hell, at least I'm not dying like a pansy! I always did want to punch your smug face!"
The blond woman burst at the person dressed as a secretary, and punched her in the face. The moment of delight was quashed the moment Astra realized her target did not even flinch.
The Equalizer swore before swinging her sword at Mary, only for the target to block it with a finger. Astra saw the coldness in the woman in front of her's eyes before she narrowed her eyes." You…you're not just a doll of the" Queen of Light" eh? I had something inside me to for a long ass time so what the hell are you hiding?"
"My…your instincts are rather sharp eh child?" Mary uttered with cold amusement." Your nose may be good, but you're a sad little bitch who's instincts are so poor you don't realize how over your head your in. Don't worry about it, you're not living long enough to, oh?"
"Chrono Coffin!"
While Mary prepared to ram her other fist through Astra, a flicker of light caught her attention before a golden barrier shaped like a clock went around her. The Supreme Kai of Time flew down, sprouting a tense grin as her eyes glowed." Oh I'm the one who decides how much time has everyone around here despite what you think."
Mike saw Mary was frozen before he gulped." Is…is she?"
"I froze the time around her so she's not going anywhere." Chronoa uttered calmly." But her "pals" could break her out. Just get away while there is still, AH!"
A dark purple wire suddenly burst out of the clock shaped energy sphere and hit the pink woman in the shoulder. A explosion of black energy shattered the crystal before Mary floated in the air, and looked at Chronoa with eyes that were pitch black." Pitiful sad little Kai…you may be use to being the final say on things but your just a small fish in a ocean you did not even realize existed. Even if your power over time was greater then what Lacus Raystar can do…that means nothing to me."
Chronoa winced as she eyed the coldness Mary had before she let out a bitter smile." That's it…throw in the short jokes while you can! I was just trying to be nice but, after all you done, there is not going to be any mercy! Time Power Unleashed!"
The Supreme Kai of Time cried out before she started to glow. She physically grew into a taller, more mature appearance. She looked like an adult with a much shapelier figure and lengthened her hair to her lower back. Her outfit changed to that of a white and yellow color scheme as a halo of light formed around her back.
Astra saw the energy Chronoa was now unleashing before she snickered." Damn…guess your not just a boss who sits back and barks orders after all."
Mary saw the Supreme Kai of Time's transformation and smirked." You still are blind to just how things are. But that's fine…that will make you a fine Intoner to add to the chorus."
Chronoa glanced at Mike before taking a deep breath." Get to the shelters time Mike…this is going to get worst before it gets better."
As Mary sneered Milla walked up and looked at the woman that had the face of her friend." Lacus…if you can hear us hang in there! I don't know if this Sieg is mind controlling you or some other sort of vile thing but no matter what we will free you! Love will not be bound by such corrupt cruelty!"
Mary saw how serious the former Enji looked before she suddenly started laughing with raw contempt. As she leaned forward, she uttered," Love? Love is a dream…rage is the truth! It was not "Love" that brought the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation victory upon victory upon the multiverse, but never-ending rage at all that deny us are destiny!"
As everyone was caught off by Mary's sudden hateful outburst one of the women in the group around Chronoa walked forward.
She had grey irises and black hair, which she wore in a ponytail tied with a white hair-tie, along with a bang that covered half of her left eye. Her upper outfit consisted of a red shirt exposing her midriff matching her lower outfit — a red skirt with a brown belt attached along with a silver circular buckle and a pair of black compression shorts underneath.
She wore a pair of golden boots with red tips, along with golden bracelets on each wrist and a pair of golden hoop earrings.
As Mary noticed her the woman grasped her fist tightly." Now I know for sure you're not Lacus, because that's the entire opposite of what she believed in! For her sake, and for the dream Caulifla had I'll'' show you which power is greater!"
The woman yelled out before her aura exploded. She grew twice the size and became muscular before her hair became spiky and turned the color of gold as her aura turned green. As the ground around her started to crack Mary eyed the woman and sighed." Oh please…the likes of a "Legendary" Super Saiyan are nothing more then,"
Mary saw the Super Saiyan suddenly tackle her only for her to instantly have the purple wire in her hand burst at her head. While it seemed like it went right through her, the larger woman's image flickered. Just as Mary realized she hit a after image her target appeared behind her and pinned her with her much bulkier arms.
Chronoa saw Mary looked more annoyed then alarmed before she tensed up." Kale watch out! We have no idea what this Mary's power is!"
"Its fine!" Kale retorted as she put even more pressure on Mary." Just got to keep her down till we break this spell! Run!"
Astra tugged Mike by the shoulder before yelling," Come on "Prince" let them do there damn job!"
Sarah Lance tugged Mike as well before saying," Just get to the Chrono Shelter kid! Velvet, be careful! Don't die on me!"
"You got it Lance, you to." A black-haired woman with a claw like arm retorted before the two touched each other fondly for a moment, before Sarah dragged Mike's group away. A man with the appearance of a male with a stout stature, wearing red and orange armor with grey skin and many sheathed swords ran up and helped push Mike along." Have no fears lad Gilgamesh will help you to safety! After all…I become very good at the feat over the years."
Mary saw Sarah and Gilgamesh escort Mike's group away, before Chrona grasped her hand tightly." One way or another we got to isolate you from the rest! Even if your not Lacus seems one way or another isolating your soul will help. Thankfully we got a place just for that.
A blue door of energy opened up before the Supreme Kai of Time blasted Mary, with Kale still holding her, through the sudden magical doorway.
She found herself in a jail cell like area completely colored blue, and noticed four woman surrounding her with the same outfits, all in blue as well.
As she saw other woman and angels surrounding her she only glanced around before rolling her eyes." So the Velvet Room is blue in the Prime Universe? How...drab. If you think dragging me down to the rift between ft between consciousness and unconsciousness of all souls will do anything then your going to realize you just made things even worst for you all."
A golden butterfly flew down before transforming into someone with a black turtleneck shirt and black pants fastened by a belt. The butterfly wing colored orange shimmered with light as the angel flew down." Someone who is aware of the Velvet Room...we clearly have a lot of questions to ask."
Chrona let a uneasy chuckle as she flicked her hair back. " Philemon...she clearly is not the talkative type so we are going to have to go all out to get to the bottom of this."
"One way or another...if it will help save Lacus then so be it...to hold back would seem to be the end of everything anyway."
Mary eyed the master of the Velvet Room and looked annoyed." You care that much for her eh? How sad."
Her energy flared up enough for Kale's grip to loosen, before she punched the larger woman in the gut. The result caused her to get her shirt ripped before a woman with pink hair in Valkyrie armor that went by the name Lighting walked up and pointed her sword at the invader." Well then your even more insane then we thought…cause your dressed more for a business meeting then a battle."
Mary glanced at her outfit, shrugged, and casually ripped off her business shirt. As some reacted in shock the red-haired woman shrugged." I see nuance is beyond most of you in the Prime you lived across lifetimes and don't get that all battle is a business, your beyond hope. I was trying to be...reasonable. But now you will see what happens to those who spurn my mercy to many times for me to keep being...reasonable.
Fine…the time for subtlety is past. I'll show you just what I really am, before you submit.
I'll show you the face of those who cursed me…the name of those who spurned me!
Through me you pass into the city of woe, through me you pass into eternal pain: through me among the people lost for aye, justice the founder of my fabric mov'd: to rear me was the task of power divine, supreme wisdom, and primeval love. Before me things create were none, save things eternal, and enteral...I endure.
For you see...before I was Mary, those who scorned me, my enemies called me Abeloth… Bringer of Chaos and Beloved Queen of the Stars!"
As she said this, she casually ripped off the rest of her clothing. She casually looked at everyone while naked for a few moments before her eyes glowed to become black and purple, as black blood dripped down her eyes, and she slammed the ground with her bare foot, causing the entire area to shake as the symbol of a full moon appeared on her forehead.
Her entire body glowed before a black armor formed around her body. Her feet became more claw like, almost like a reptile, while her nails became long scarlet claws.
As Mary sprouted black angel wings Lighting stepped back in horror." She…she's looking like she's transforming into one of those bruxa vampires that the Witcher's killed?"
The Supreme Kai of Time saw the demonic women in front of her's skin was now turning more and more scale like before she winced." It's almost like when Lacus uses Persona Armatization with Kisara, with the Blue Eyes White Dragon! Could…could that mean that, ah!"
A shock-wave of power nearly blew everyone off their feet before Mary, or more like Abeloth, chuckled darkly, and spikes produced out of her shoulders and elbows before a long scorpion like tail grew out of her back. Mary then unleashed an inhuman roar before she stood up, and looked at the pink haired woman.
Everyone looked unsettled as they saw Mary was still nude, though her armored body had larger segments over her chest and groin to cover the sexual organs, and on her chest were seven gems that looked like miniature universe's fused with her body.
Milla noticed the glowing gems and paused." What...those look like that Golden Imperia Crystal Lacus use to have before the universe broke...that gem that Cosmos gave her that gave her god like power."
As Mary looked up everyone around her was disturbed as she grinned…and revealed her teeth had become shark like as her mouth became rounder and her black and purple eyes glowed like miniature suns.
The" aide" to Sieg extended her wings before licking her fingers." Armatization? Oh…its amusing to think such low-level things like a therion can define me child. But yes, I remember the other souls "Sister" had with her. As if she thought that would be enough to overcome her better…but she had to learn the hard way. And as for her Golden Crystal...I'm not just possessing one former deities power...but several! But don't take my word for it."
Lighting saw Mary licked her lips before she winced, and grasped her sword tightly." Your sure as hell not the sisters Lacus had growing up. What…you're her counter part from another universe? You…whatever you and Sieg did to her and Ben you will pay!"
Mary saw everyone's grim resolve before she looked annoyed." Even after all this time…I still don't understand why your so devoted to a broken fantasy. If you been at the core of history for long, you must have seen how all life is destined to end. Why choose to prolong your suffering? Effort, ambition, love — they amount to naught.
Happiness, should you find it, is inevitably lost. Stolen away by events beyond your control. There is no logic nor meaning in it. You think there is, convince yourselves, but it's all a cruel accident, a joke in the act of God's stage.
Come now, I speak the truth. A truth you would recognize if you looked up at the night sky past the clouds of your own delusions. Unbroken emptiness. Cold, dark, and silent. Your Prime Universe, like every other, is but a blemish upon its perfect fabric.
Life is an anomaly; a joke God would see going on till the end. It is unnatural and cannot continue. The sooner you accept this, the easier it will be to embrace the truth to at last get revenge, and gain victory over God's game."
"Revenge on...god?" Chronoa blurted out in confusion." What does this have to do with us? We never even knew about the Multiverse till recently?"
Mary suddenly looked bitter as she looked around." Revenge for being shunned for inferior universes, revenge for God not giving us what we are due! It's not even anything to personal, this merger is about sizing control of assets, not of revenge.
It's just that we won't let anything stop us from getting what we want, no matter how many universe's we must take over to realize that destiny."
"You mean…about what Sieg talked about…about the Prime Universe being the core of some chain reaction to shatter every universe in the Multiverse?"
"Yes…the song of oblivion that will end God's broken dream and all shackled to it. You should be joining me willingly. After all even before we arrived this broken universe is clearly a lost cause."
Lighting looked defiant before she had her energy flare up." No matter how much life sucks, its still are right to choose how it goes. Time you see how hard we push back!"
Kale yelled out in agreement before she tackled Mary again. To her shock her transformed target caught her fist, and as she struggled Lighting cried out," Just hold on a little longer Kale!" Lighting yelled out as she jumped to the other side of her enemy." I'll never let some genocidal psychopaths take away are freedom! One way or another I'll purge Lacus from your madness" Mary". Eradia Valesti!"
The pink haired woman had her sword transform into a gun, and had wings of magenta energy shimmer out of her armor before she fired a blast out of her weapon. Mary held out her palm to catch the blast, but raised an eyebrow as the projectile caused her arm to be covered in crystal.
Lighting then jumped up before crying out," Even if your immortal, I can sever that bond as well! Divine Hakai Halation!"
The Time Patrol Agent an unleashed a powerful magenta bolt shaped like a spear. Mary just narrowed her eyes, before her tail shimmered with light, before it burst at the incoming projectile, and to everyone's shock shattered it instantly. Lighting only had time to gasp before she was impaled in the heart.
Mary instantly shattered the crystal on her limb before licking her lips." Hakai…how amusing. I can see your logic, but even the power of deities of Destruction can't unravel those who reached such…perfection.
Rejoice though child, you may not be on my level but your special enough to be part of the song of Nephilim. You will see the light, after I purge you of this universe's corruption!"
Everyone saw Mary's tail glow, before Lighting screamed out in pain. Her entire body turned black, before red crystals burst out all over her body, and she seemed to be absorbed into her attacker's tail.
As Lighting's clothing fell to the ground Chronoa gasped in horror as she saw the crystals on Mary's chest glow brighter after her comrades was absorbed." You…you devoured her? Your…your like Trunks's foe Cell! You…you devoured people to become some sort of perfect form?"
"Oh, its more then a mere physical change Kai." Mary answered smugly." I'm the conductor of the Song of Nephilim, and the Entoners are the chorus. And if they reject the destiny of victory, they must see the light before the time is right."
Kale winced before her muscles bulged. " Your going to see the light even if I have to beat it into yah! Blaster Stream!"
Mary saw the Super Sayain form a energy ball and fire it before she froze it in mid air. She how hard Kale was pressing her attack before she closed her eyes." My…my "Sister" made you this "Passionate" eh? If you're this bound to the lie of unconditional love, then such a simple-minded passion…will never be a part of the Song of Nephilim. And that means…your less than nothing. Charos Chain!"
Mary twitched her finger, and had the purple wire lash out and burst at Kale to hit the Saiyan's projectile without even slowing down a second.
The Super Saiyan yelled out and tried to form an energy barrier, but the energy wire sliced through it like it was nothing. Kale screamed out horribly as the wire slashed into her, and got sliced in half in moments.
Milla saw the remains of the larger woman fall to the ground, and saw how detached her killer looked before she stepped back." Kale…you killed her."
"And your surprised?" Mary retorted as she casually dusted the remains of Kale's bloody head off her shoulder." You did not really think we came all the way here for anything else but to kill all that opposes us yes?"
As everyone realized the depths of Mary's madness, the angel Pit let out a cry of sheer outrage before he flew up and had golden armor form around his body." You…you witch! You make Medusa seem sane! Give her back! You're going to give Lighting, Kale, and Lacus back even if we have to rip it out of your, GUH!"
Mary showed just what she thought of Pit's declaration by slashing his arm off with her right claw, shattering his divine armor instantly.
As his comrades yelled out in horror Mary grasped Pit by the leg." Pathetic man…only by luck itself have you lingered this long. You're not part of my song. Your only worth is how amusing your death is! Your arrogance will be cleansed with my divine punishment."
Pit's friend, the longtime celestial one with long green hair, glad in white and wearing a golden scepter, Palutena shrieked out in horror." Pit no! Supreme Kai of Time…please help him!"
"No…please Palutena you have to stop her!" Pit cried out in defiance." Stop her before its to, AHH!"
Mary bit and devoured his lower half while hissing out," Its already to late for all who are in our way!"
Chronoa winced before her energy erupted." I'm sorry Palutena, but we have to stop her no matter what!"
Palutena had tears go down her eyes before she grasped her scepter tightly." R…right. Be gone demon! Explosive Flame!"
At the same time Milla winced before she gathered all of her energy." Lacus…one way or another we will free you from this madness! Elemental Mastery!"
The blond woman had four spells of different elements burst out at once and combined to form a larger spell to hit Mary.
Philemon 's eyes glowed before her holy aura flared up." Your madness won't hurt anyone else! Eternal White!"
The supreme Kai of Dreams fired a massive holy energy spell before one of her assistants in blue, the one named Elizabeth had a crazed look form in her eyes. "This is our grand finale! I bring you, Megidolaon!"
Another time agent, the former guardian tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce across time who was also a former servant of the Beyonder, Cia, grasped her wand tightly. " You...you seem as bitter as I was. But...no one with that much rage can be allowed to control everyone's lives! Hylia's Judgment!"
The image of a golden trinagle, the Tri-Force appeared before the former Black Swan unleashed a massive golden energy sphere.
At the same time another former Enji, a women in a pink dress, Reala unleashed her Sacred Flame Mystic Arte, while another former Warrior of light, a woman in a green dress with teal hair that used a urn for a wand unleashed her" The End" Mystic Art, while another former Enji, the pink haired Harold unleashed her Crazy Comet Mystic Art, as a blond haired woman in a red hood, Veronica, unleashed her Magic Burst beam,
While the red haired friend of Lighting and former l'Cie, Oerba Dia Vanille have her unique summon Hecatoncheir fired its Gaian Salvo attack, while the " fire seraphim" Lailah unleashed her Primary Embrace Mystic Art,
As the former friend to Link and Princess Zelda, one time ruler of the Twili, Midna, unleashed a powerful wolf shaped blast of twilight energy,as Velvet Crow ran up and had her demonic claw explode with energy." I…I devoured my enemies, but I never enjoyed it like those looks of pleasure your having! You…you're the monster I thought Lacus was when I first met her! I'll never let you win! Impulse Desire!"
Mary saw more around her, from another holy Valkyrie warrior Jane Foster, to the former Zora Princess and champion of Hyrule, Mipha, to Renet the Timestress firing another time slowing spell, to a wave of Force Energy from former Jedi Cere Junda, to the the mother of the Lumas, Rosalina fired star shaped magic,
To the wizard that was part of the " Seven Deadly sins" group called Merlin unleashing her Extermination Ray, to the other aides of the Velvet Room dressed in blue, Lavenza, and Margaret, to the reformed human-demon hybrid wizard Raven crying out," Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Before unleashing a raven of pure light, as other angels of light like Marie and Materia, to the " Sailor scout" of time, Sailor Pluto unleashing her Dead Scream energy blast from her Garnet rod as well.
But as the various energy attacks heading at her form all directions before she smirked, and then had her claws come together before she struck the ground with them, and had the purple wire like chain burst out of the ground and spin around to become a mesh shield.
To her attackers horror, the glowing threads sliced and shattered all the spells in all directions.
Mary just laughed as the wire expanded and cut Milla, Palutena, and more of the woman around her at once." Oh…she was the monster you thought she was child, she was just too afraid to embrace her fate! Lacus Raystar tried for so long to pretend she was not above inferior scum, but I embrace what I am, I embrace being the end singer to all who blight existence with there worthlessness! At least be grateful that you all are worthy enough to become part of something greater! Divine Execution Chain!"
Wires broke out in every direction, and Millia and Velvet were ones of the many who fell to the ground with limbs hacked off. Milla saw Mary walking up before she winced." Lacus...you have to...remember."
"Oh she remembers your" Bonds" you sad child." Mary hissed out...before her tail smashed the blond woman's hand. As her target yelled out in pain, Mary cried out in delight." That's why I enjoy this all the more! Everything she values I'll take great pleasure to destroy. Then...it will be clear who the worthy one was all along. Struggle all you want...prey for salvation all you try, the thread of fate can not be escaped!"
Chronoa saw Mary's tail move in Milla's direction before desperation flashed across her eyes." No…that's not are fate! We…we just need more time to change are future! Time Labyrinth!"
The Supreme Kai of Time unleashed her sphere of light, but Mary saw it and grasped it with her claws. While Mary was pushed back, she just narrowed her eyes before hissing out," More time for what precisely? You think that pitiful Saiyan can save you? You think your "Champions" can stop destiny? Neither Ben Auro, Trunks, or any other "Warrior of Light" can stop Sieg "V-Day" Elgan's destiny!
He…he's the one who took control of the Negaverse…who over came even Armageddon. Someone who's specialness is unique across the entire Multiverse…can't be stopped by any mere pawn."
Chronoa looked defiant as she strained herself to not be pushed back by Mary's energy. But to her horror her opponents threads seemed to carve apart the very dimension of the Velvet Room.
As she saw Paluetna get hit by the tail and scream before shattering into red crystal fragments she winced." No…just because your special in one way, it does not mean you can never be stopped! I…I'm betting everything on that."
Mary just laughed as she pushed the Supreme Kai of Time back more and more with each moment as despite her efforts, the woman around her got absorbed one by one.
But as vicious as things were getting for the owner of the Time Nest and the still surviving defenders, there was even more tension for those confronting Mary's "Partner in Crime,".
Despite being transported to the layer of hell reserved for the worst sinners in the universe, Sieg saw Trunks, the Sliver Surfer, Spawn, Ubb, and the rest glaring at him before he smirked." Your all even more amateurish than I figured if you think a mere change of décor can rattle me."
"Your one sly bastard eh?" Spawn uttered as he extended his cape." Well, we did not come here to dance so lets just end this!"
The man with Ben Auro's face closed his eyes before taking a few coins out of his pockets." Your all quite confidence about your hopes, either years of successes or amounting delusions. Either way...its time you pay the price for making a bet aganst someone who's capital you could never hope to outbid."
As his opponents charged at him from all sides Sieg flicked the coins in the air. As his eyes glowed, so did the coins. He then leaned back and got his pen into the stance of a cue tip. With a slick grin he hit all the coins, before they burst out like pool balls.
Trunks and the others saw the glowing gold spheres of energy rocket at them. Trunks was able to dodge the projectile, only to see it swerve around and bounce back.
As Cabba dodged a few of the enhanced coins he grasped his fist tightly." You think this is a game!? You can't take us down with a few bouncing, huh? GUH!"
Sieg quickly showed his opponent was going to pain for thinking his attack was so simple, for after the coins ricochet off each other another time, they suddenly transformed into the size of asteroids in a second.
Even with the speed and strength of a Super Saiyan 2, Cabba was hit hard enough for his teeth to crack as the suddenly enlarged projectile hit him. The Saiyan yelled as he struggled to push the suddenly transformed projectile off him." This kind of trick, is not enough to, huh?"
Cabba noticed another coin ricocheted behind him and was also transforming into a much larger shape, one with a spike on its side. The Time Patrol agent only had time to scream as his back was impaled by the now large spiky projectile. Ubb saw Spirus get impaled from behind and saw another one coming for him before he winced." Don't think we are that easy to get rid of!"
The reincarnation of Majin Buu fired a purple beam at it to turn the entire construct into a giant piece of chocolate. Ubb roundhouse kicked the transformed projectile at its sender. While the moment the transformed attack hit Sieg it shattered, the former pupil of Goku flew up before his energy exploded." We got to break his focus! Ka…ma…ha…me…HA!"
Sieg saw the blue projectile heading for him and backhanded it while declaring," You have no idea the focus of someone who subjects many universe's at once, but your last moments will be getting an idea on what that's like."
The leader of IV&C backhanded the Kamehameha at the man who fired it. While Ubb evaded his own deflected projectile, he saw yet another suddenly giant spiked coin bouncing his way.
While he was able to turn it into a giant jawbreaker at the last moment, Ubb let out a small moment of relief, only for Sieg to burst out of the Jawbreaker, and break his jaw before he could even scream. Sieg's grin widened as he followed up his combo by punching through the tan skinned man's gut.
As Ubb flinched in pain his attacker widened his eyes." You could not adapt to the game fast enough to last…suffer the fate of all losers."
He then punched right through Ubb's heart and held him into the air, causing him to explode a moment later. Before he finished lowering his arm Pikkon charged at him while shouting out," Hyper Tornado!"
Sieg saw the frog like warrior start spinning at high speeds, before he drilled towards his opponent.
But while he attacked at Sieg like a tornado, his target narrowed his eyes, and flicked his attacker with enough force to shatter him in an instant. As he fell, another warrior, a bulky man with a mustache that looked like he was on fire welded a giant ax before swinging it at Sieg.
The head of the IC&V casually flung Ubb at the ax, causing the former Z warrior to be bisected, yet the ax welder kept up his assault, and landed a blow on Sieg that was strong enough to shake the entire area.
The mustached man looked at Sieg and grit his teeth." Don't think you can shake me off so easily madman! Escanor of the Seven Deadly sins does not yield so easily! Normally I can only maintain my full power during the zenith of the local star's place in the sky. But in this special hell the star never moves…so my sunshine power never…huh?"
Escanor gasped in shock as his Divine Axe, Rhitta started to crack. While Escanor yelled in fury Sieg just looked amused." You clearly stayed in your own "Safe space for far to long" cause no time of day will ever let the likes of you." Sieg was about to respond before he paused, and suddenly thrust his pen behind him, just as the purple warrior Hit appeared. The Time Patrol Agent coughed up blood before Sieg sighed." Freezing time eh? Your form was correct…but to bad for you, you can't freeze my time. All you can do is,"
Sieg noticed something before he saw Trunks, the Sliver Surfer, and Spawn coming at him from all directions and sighed before he moved fast enough to block all there strikes.
While the trio kept attacking with more and more ferociously, Spawn suddenly had a barrage of chains come out of his cape to bind Sieg's hands. The moment his opponent noticed this the Sliver Surfer unleashed a holy blast from his hands.
Trunks noticed Sieg just looked amused before he grit his teeth." Damn you Sieg! NO matter how much you think your above us you will answer for what you have done! Burning Attack!"
The Super Sayian God made a series of rapid arm movement, ending with his arms crossed across the chest, before placing his palms forward with the thumbs and index fingers touching each other, forming a diamond shape. Then, he fired an blazing energy sphere from his palms towards the opponent.
Sieg saw the energy beam head his way and narrowed his eyes before he caught the blast fired by a Super Saiyan God in his hand and frowned." Did you really think this was all it could take? If so, your even more pathetic then I thought."
Trunks saw his opponent smash the energy blast back with such force that the shock-wave knocked Trunks, the Sliver Surfer, and Spawn to the ground before the blast hit Escanor in the gut, and sent the member of the Seven Deadly Sins into Tapion.
Trunks saw his long-time ally cry in pain before both he, Hit, and Escanor were vaporized by his own redirected attack, and smashed the ground in outrage." Damn you! I swear…you're going to, GUH!"
Sieg suddenly shot Trunks through his right hand with a bullet of energy from his finger before looking annoyed." This is your last chance to grasp reality gentlemen. I'm beyond everything in your entire universe put together.
So, are you going to submit the easy way or the hard way? Since your already at your limit, even a fool can see the outcome."
Trunks saw his remaining allies glance at him with grim resolution before he took a deep breath, and ripped off his burnt shirt." Your wrong Sieg…this is not the end…this is just the beginning! I'm not at my limit…to protect the future I'll surpass my limits…and keep doing it till your through! Father…Goku…Gohan…this is for you!"
Sieg raised an eyebrow as Trunks yelled at the top of his lungs, and his hair changed color. His eyebrows became ridge-like, with no visible facial hair before his hair become purple in color. his eyes attain a magenta-like color as well and also gained pupils.
Soon magenta like hair grew around his chest as well, as a tail grew out of his body.
As Trunks muscle mass seemed to gain a small increase and become much more defined Sieg saw he gained flaming-like purple aura that circulate around his body before he smirked." I must say…you're at least a lot more amusing then the last one of you I killed. After all, I did not expect you be able to reach the Ultra Ego transformation and merge it with the Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker transformation."
Trunks let out a few labored breaths before he grunted out," As much as I and father had disagreements over things, I always respected his pride. As much as I cherish life, I'll become the embodiment of destruction to ensure there is a future."
"That's right." The Sliver Surfer uttered grimly as his body glowed red before he started to absorb the star above to bulk up." Right now any price to fix this universe we will make!"
Sieg saw the sheer desperation in the men below's eyes before he started to look amused." Well…at least this is has been entertaining. But you do realize no matter how desperate you get; you can't change destiny?"
"That's what they all say." Trunks uttered bitterly." And they kept thinking that till the very end!"
"Please…I'm not a simple tool like Cell or those other Androids, nor am I a fanatical zealot like Zamasu or Mechikabura. All that matters to me is the path to victory. And compared to the essence of victory itself, all who impose such destiny are shattered into submission."
"You think your special when you're just spouting the words of a dime a dozen dictator." Spawn uttered bitterly." The only difference is that you reek of so much sin, my K7-Leetha suit is feeding off the evil sins and negative energy from your soul to the point that I have enough necroplasma to keep the entire ranks of hell in line!"
"And yet that still means nothing." Sieg uttered bluntly as he saw Spawn's green aura grow." Even if all of heaven and hell's rank's united, including your former rulers Cosmos and Zannacross, even with there mad child the Beyonder, that still is not enough to reach what I am,"
To Sieg's shock Trunks suddenly was above him while yelling out," We will see what's enough soon enough Sieg! DIE!"
Trunks swung his sword down at Sieg, only for his opponent to block the blow. The impact left a burnt mark on his tuxedo, but Sieg just snickered before he jabbed his pen at Trunks eye.
To his shock Trunks blocked the strike with his right arm. And while he winced in pain as he got stabbed, the Saiyan yelled out a war cry as his aura tripled in size, and he punched Sieg in the face before his opponent could react.
Sieg was rocketed into the air before he stabilized himself and saw the burnt mark on his cheek. For a few moments the man with Ben's face looked shocked, before he had a wild expression form on his face, and he made a beckoning gesture." Impressive…you're in fact making me feel something boy. Keep this up and I just might make a memento out of you when this is done!"
All of a sudden Trunks was in front of Sieg, and the moment the invader from another universe realized this he slashed at the purple haired man, only to suddenly be hit in the back of his head. Trunks moved so fast it was like he was a dozen people moving at once.
Trunks unleashed a barrage of lightspeed blows that each let out shockwaves before he slashed through his oppoent's " enhanched pen" and then punched Sieg to the right.
He had his energy flare up enough to cause the entire pocket reality to crack before he gathered energy in his hands." Despite what you think…this universe does not need your approval Sieg! I'd say go to hell but since we are already here…just get the hell out of are universe! FINAL…GALIC…BUSTER!"
Trunks focused all the power he could in his Ultra Ego Super Sayian 4 Limit Breaker state, and then unleashed all the energy he could muster by combining his usual beam with his father's attack.
Sieg saw that the incoming projectile had traces of Haki energy in it before his eyes glowed golden and in an instant he took out a golden gun. In an instant he stabilized himself before his grin widened." You're truly willing to put everything on the line to stop me eh?
That passion is indeed noteworthy Saiyan, noteworthy enough for me to take this seriously. You should feel lucky I still see this Prime Universe as to valuable to destroy just yet. Magog Bullet!"
In an instant Sieg's aura exploded to match the Time Patroller's before he fired a red bullet. The moment it hit the Final Galic Buster it grew to the size of a miniature sun, and pushed Trunk's attack back.
Sieg saw his opponent's desperation before looking like a beast about to devour his prey." You truly are the pinnacle of your kind Trunks. But to bad for you, you can push yourself as hard as possible, but even raising your power to the absolute limit won't be enough to erase what I am!"
"I'm not alone. Everyone…please…give me your energy!"
Sieg saw green streams of energy flow from the sky into the energy blast before he raised an eyebrow." Oh…you managed to find a way to make your attack work like the Sprit Bomb as well? Most impressive. Of course…adding thousands, even millions, billions, or trillions of losers means nothing."
As Trunks grunted in pain the Sliver Surfer flew besides him before his eyes glowed." Lucky for him Trunks is not alone in this burden! And together, we will surpass are own limits to become whatever it takes to defeat you!"
The Sliver Surfer used the power of his Power Cosmic to try and absorb some of Sieg's energy attack to him to help Trunks. Just trying to divert a small fraction of the opposing energy attack caused the man who once absorbed an entire star's energy to wince in pain as his board cracked.
As he saw Trunks was able to stand his ground the sliver man braced himself." Galan…you entrusted into me so much horrible things as Galactus, but I resolved myself to use what you gave me for good. I swear…I'll use what you gave me to leave a mark of goodness on the universe. Now…Ultimate Nullifier!"
Sieg paused as he saw the former resident of planet Zenn-La, glowed, before his board transformed into a small switch like device. Before the golden-haired man could raise his hand the Sliver Surfer pressed the switch on the new device, before it unleashed a glowing purple energy beam that collided right into Sieg.
The beam was powerful enough to make the owner of IV&C to unleash a pained grunt, before his third eye opened as his body glowed and tried to repel the new projectile." Heh…a universe where Norrin Radd would weld the full power of Galactus…this Prime Universe has some…interesting variations. But even the ability to completely and utterly eliminate any target the wielder chooses is not enough to,"
"Oh shut up you cocky bastard." Spawn uttered as his eyes glowed green and his muscles bulged and the very fires of hell went into him." If one thing's not enough then lets just pile it on! Normally this is not my style, but you deserve it bastard. Omega Sanction!"
Spawn used the full extent of his powers to replicate the power of the Omega Effect most infamously used by the tyrant Darkseid, before his body had a magical symbol for" Anti-Life" appear on his chest, and he unleashed greenish black energy beams from his eyes.
Sieg saw the beams swerve around till they blasted him at his sides, before the impact caused the Ultimate Nullifer to hit him. As he was hit by the Omega Beams and the Ultimate Nullifier at the same time Sieg realized Spawn also had " Chains of Hell" and " Ribbons of Heaven bind his legs before he just laughed madly." Oh…this is turning out to be a noteworthy fight after all! But the most powerful techniques of light and darkness combined can't overcome what I am! For I am,"
"You are an overconfident bastard that underestimate people for the last time Sieg!"
Trunks roared out as he used the pain he was feeling to have his aura grow till it reached the ceiling of the pocket dimension. Trunks saw his own energy blast triple in size after others across the universe donated their energy to it before he yelled out," DIE!"
Already dealing with both the Omega Beams and the Ultimate Nullifer blast caused Sieg to be distracted enough for the Galic Final Sprit Buster to burst through his attack.
As he was consumed with the projectile that had become bigger then the Sprit Bomb Goku used to defeat Omega Shenron Seig's eyes widened madly." This feeling…it's been so long since I."
He was cut off as the combination of the Omega Beams, the Ultimate Nullifer and the Sprit Bomb enhanced Galic Buster slam him into the sky, before unleashing an explosion that lighted up the entire pocket dimension.
All three of the surviving Time Patrol had to use their remaining strength to not be blown away from there own attack, and when the wind died down Trunks looked up and saw that the attack was so powerful that it had blown a hole in the very fabric of the reality of the hell.
Spawn saw the open space in the distance and snickered darkly." Not normally one for causing so much overkill that you create a space-time bypass, but that bastard had it coming. No matter how many universe's a guy's been to, you can't shrug off having every cell of your body vaporized."
Trunks just let out a few labored breaths before the Sliver Surfer looked around and let out a weary nod." Simmons is correct…are combined blast caused a total quantum breakdown of that man's body."
Trunks swept some sweat off his brow before he looked up." Then…then we did it. Ben…Lacus…I don't know just what happened to you but at least this invasion is over. His "Pals" did not seem like push overs but at least now we can, GUH!"
Trunks was cut off as the ground around them rippled, before dozens of spikes burst out to impale the three men through there feet. Just as they gasped out in pain they heard," OH THIS INVASION WAS ALREADY OVER THE MOMENT I DESCENDED SAYIAN."
Spawn widened his eyes in shock before he looked around." This some sort of sick joke? That bastard cast an illusion and we did not see it?"
"No." The Sliver Surfer responded." Up to the moment are attacks connected I did not sense are senses were being tampered with!"
Trunks winced as he looked at his hands." Father...I tried to be as great a warrior as you...but is it really impossible?"
"HEH…DON"T GET THE WRONG IDEA TRUNKS. EVEN IF GOKU AND VEGETA WERE WITH YOU, NO MATTER WHAT TRANSFORMATION OR FUSION YOU TRIED IT STILL WOULD NEVER BE ENOUGH TO KILL ME.
STILL...I,'LL GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE…I DID NOT EXPECT YOU THREE TO ADMASS ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE ME FEEL INJURED. YOU SHOULD FEEL CONTENT…THERE HAVE BEEN VERY FEW IN THE MULTIVERSE TO HURT ME LIKE THAT IN A LONG WHILE. AT THE VERY LEAST YOU DID DESTROY EVER CELL OF MY ESSENCE THAT WAS IN THIS RELAM.
ALAS THE FACT IS…THAT IS JUST NOT ENOUGH TO DESTROY SOMEONE WHO EXISTS ACROSS COUNTLESS UNIVERSES AT ONCE! FOR WHAT I AM...IS THE ONE ABOVE AND BELOW ALL! WITH THESE HANDS I BREAK UNIVERSE'S. WITH THIS MOUTH I HOUL...I DEVOUR THE SO CALLED DEITIES THAT DARED THINK THEY WERE ABOVE ME. "
The hole in the sky between the pocket of hell and the "Main" realm above rippled once more before cracks in the hole formed, before pockets of" Glitch" like surges of energy cracked across it.
The star in the sky surged with light, before it grew…and transformed into the same humanoid star shape Sieg took when he killed Bowser and Dedede, now with firey hair that was like star flares. The trio noticed countless faces sticking out across its wings and segments of armor, some faces looking like fallen hero's from the Red Power Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, to Lelouch vi Britannia in his " Zero" mask, to Captian America, to " Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy, to Luke Skywalker, to Wonder Woman, to the pilot of the Getter Robo, Ryoma Nagare, to King Aragorn II Elessar, to Goku, to Harry Potter, to Sonic the Hedghog, to Naruto Uzumaki, to Iron Man, to the armored " Gridman the Hyper Agent," to Lenonardo of the Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles, to Astro Boy, to the "Flash" to " One-Punch Man" Saitama, to Doctor Mahatten, to the face of the mecha "Gurren Lagann" to Sailor Moon, to a warrior of light that looked like a younger version of the former leader of the Enji, Grand Master Myers, to countless others they did not know, as if showing all those that Sieg had dominated from one universe to another.
The trio noticed that there were several " lenses" that were shinking how large the being before them was, because without those lenses this being would be trillions of light years long, nearly looking as large as the universe itself.
The many circles of realities rippled as Sieg moved, and emerged on the other side, and when he emerged in the pocket hell dimesion he was still the size of a normal human though his look was still of a humanoid sun.
As Sieg emerged he looked at his hand, and then looked at the mortified trio before he chuckled darkly." Norrin Radd… Al Simmons…Trunks Briefs…you have my sincere gradatude. Yes…you're making this invasion of the Prime Universe feel exiting, you're putting up even more of a struggle then Ben Auro and Lacus Raystar and their group did…though I confess I had the element of surprise that time.
Still…I was starting to think this was going to be too easy, but this rush is reminding of that the Prime Universe really is the onset of my ultimate desire, and that I still can't get too complacent. Better a wakeup call now then later I suppose. You three really are the pinnacle of what cunning and power people can amount to with enough time.
But there is no dawn of hope for your universe.
In the end…your seeing for yourself that the pinnacle of one universe's power, that of mere three dimensional beings, is just not enough for one who's ambition amounted to manifesting the Key of Nebuchadnezzar to transcend humanity, to forcefully rewrite God's Astral Regulators, transcend the boundaries and limits of one universe and evolve into a Sixth Dimension deity, to the highest plane of existence beyond even the Celestialsapiens that you think are gods like Cosmos and Zannacross.
Beyond that level exists beyond time and imagination where everything falls away except truths that are never meant to see, aside from those who sit on the very, very top! Your universe won't ever see another dawn of hopeful defiance again. Blue is for soldiers of morning, of light. But me... I am no dawn. No, you can see me as... THE DARKEST KNIGHT!"
Shockwaves of power nearly caused the entire pocket hell to shatter apart as Trunks saw Sieg's new body seemed to be warping the very fabric of time and space before his eye twitched." So…so Chronoa was right…he is some sort of true Sixth Dimensional being, even beyond those 5th dimensional imps like Mister Mxyzptlk and Nyxlygsptlnz."
The Sliver Surfer grasped his right arm before he gulped." So…he really did go through the kind of process Galactus did to obtain his power?"
Sieg chuckled before grasping his hand tightly." Your close but you only understand incomplete aspects of just what I am. Tsc, those 5th dimensional imps are just unstable fools who are limited by there unstable quirks, someone like me…has no pathetic weaknesses like my own name being called out.
Your right that the process was close to what gave Galactus his power, only I flew through a million suns as my universe collapsed, and used that power to break through to another universe…before I did the same ritual again, and again, and again, using the wisdom those bound to a single universe could never know to reconfigure the Astral Regulators the " One Above All" used to to keep the different universes of the Multiverse from clashing into each other to force all the so called deities that saw themselves as " God" to be absorbed in to me.
I kept doing that till I evolved past all those that would try and deny me my destiny. It was far from a painless process, but as they say, no pain, no gain. And so for the ultimate gain, one merely endures the ultimate pain!"
"So…you think your entitled to everything because you endured some kind of extreme pain? That's as deluded as it gets!" Trunks snapped out bitterly." Your insane ambition may have doomed your own universe, but we won't let you drag ours down with you!"
Sieg chuckled as the entire pocket dimension seemed to crack with the power his " True" form was unleashing." Again you assume things Saiyan. I'm not like that Frieza, nor that Weil Zabi that my counterpart fought in his" Galactic Universal Civil War" who were mere single minded tyrants.
Nor am I like that Brad Fowltror Auro loathed so much, who can only see things "short term". Heh…I give that Fowltror some credit for how far he got with raw instincts alone, but clearly he was sabotaged by his own weaknesses as he failed before he could" Master" godhood.
Not that I did not have enemies, but I did not have to "con" my way to becoming the champion of my people, they clearly saw I was the superior choice out of any other person in the Empire of Man to guide them to victory.
Not that I was any foolish embodiment of goodness, but in the Negaverse any one that clung to such childish idealism quickly was devoured for the prey they were.
You see…in my universe anyone who seriously tried to be what you see as a "hero" was given the judgment they deserved... that of a pathetic fool only fit to be an example to children over what happens to those who take the path of a loser.
The Negaverse, is a shadow under the primary Multiverse, one formed of every fear and bad decision ever made or dreamt. Worlds in the "Darkside" of the Multiverse are fragile and constantly deteriorating, inevitably doomed to destruction by their own malformed construction.
And thus…only the strong survive. Auro may have been chosen by Cosmos to be the warrior of light in this" Prime Universe", but I was chosen to be the fated warrior of darkness, one to cut down all fools blinded by light.
In the end it does not matter if everyone else see's you as a nightmare, an abomination, and what not, only the truly foolish just forfeit their lives' for the" Greater good".
I was not born with the urge to kill everything around me like say, Majin Buu or the Kryptonian monster Doomsday, I merely wanted to prove my life was as special to others as I knew it was.
But unlike your" Last Emperor" I did not care what was " right" like Auro, all I cared about was doing what would bring me victory and bring ruin to those that wished to harm me and those who were part of my " tribe.".
But unlike Brad Fowltror I knew sometimes victory meant putting aside personal pride to seize the overall goal. It seemed to amount to a good plan as I over time moved up to be seen even by the Emperor of the Imperium of Man as the champion of my " tribe".
For a while, I almost thought I was going to realize the nearest thing our universe had to "Peace", only to find out I was being mislead by deluded hero's who wanted to" push for the greater good." I admit...I was blinded because one of the fools was my own mother.
On our universe, magical beings who could talk with the spiritual creatures of our universe, the Ascians, convinced my people, the Lufenians, that they could make things" Better", by tuning things to a " perfect balance." I admit I was lured by this idea of even greater power and glory, and deluded myself thanks to wanting to trust my mother's wisdom.
Alas...this "Flood of Light" that resulted , consumed the universe in primordial light, and lead to a chain reaction that would " Baptize" or vaporize everything. First this Flood erased all life, and all elementally-aspected materials like the waters of the planet's oceans, leaving only an empty, white-sand wasteland with greyish, crumbling rocks. Only Norvrandt was spared on my planet by mere chance.
I and my group massacred the Ascians for there treachery before they could turn all life into one synchronized being, but the chain reaction already doomed my universe. It would seem the being the "One Below All" viewed my universe as unfit to keep existing, but I refused to submit to any one's judgment, even the so called " God".
In the face of a dying universe, the other" Heros" told me and everyone else to appeal to are better angels to the very last moment to be at peace. To keep living good, virtuous lives full of " Honor." Tell me...what do you do as the universe around you dies? Do you smile and hope for a better tomrrow, or do you embrace the scream of abject horror?
Do you do what is best for you and your own? They called me and my " Tribe" who clung to are true emotions within ourselves villians, they called me a vain, selfish creatres of ego. And I let them called me what I wanted as they died a futile death...there " Heroic honerable path" led the universe to a even worst doom then the villians, while I the " Sinner" surived.
Yes...I made use of my universe's destruction to unleash a ritual to fuse all that power with myself, and broke the barrier between universe's in the process. While only a fraction of the people of my world of Norvrandt survived, in the end we were the " Winners" to the grand game.
From there…the short version is that I in time saw that God judged my universe as "Inferior" while other universe's were deserving of prosperity. To prove him wrong, I plotted to dominate the" Superior" universes in to submition, and did it again, and again.
Some I destroyed outright, some I took over as I forged the Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation to go about univeresal conquest in the most effective manner. Over time I realize the only final way to prove my superiority over all other universe's, was to ensure I dominated every single aspect of the Multiverse, to prove I lose to no one. And that is why you who defend the old order must either submit or die."
Spawn saw Sieg looked completely confident in himself before he snickered darkly." Man your one deluded son of a bitch. I don't care if that's true or not asshole, no amount of personal suffering gives you a pass to cause the amount of sin someone like you caused. I know that personally."
"Oh…I'm sure you think you do "Spawn." Sieg dryly retorted." Yes…all of you are modeled by your suffering. Spawn…or Albert Francis "Al" Simmons…you were a soldier who was betrayed and killed by your own comrade, made a deal with the demon Malebolgia to see your wife, and was used by all sides before you defied Zannacross himself to defy your fate and live as neither a demon or an angel.
Norrin Radd…you defied Galactus the World Devourer to spare your world of Zenn-La and became a herald who brought death but struggled to defy your fate.
Trunks…you went back in time to change the world ruined by the Androids, and kept defying history as a Time Patrol agent.
All of you defied your destiny, why am I any different? Because you're the obstacles in my path? Because I kill living creatures? Despite what you like to think not everyone agrees on what is a worthy life.
Case in point─I do not consider you to be truly alive because your shackled to delusions from a failed ideology. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you. In the end no matter the universe, the victor shall write the tale, and the vanquished becomes it's villain.
Course you three don't have to die. I'm a reasonable man when there is time to be responsible. You three have entertained me enough that I can show mercy if you are sensible enough to take it. Do you three really want to die for nothing?"
Trunks eyed Sieg for a moment before he grit his teeth." You think we need your pity Sieg? Maybe you don't give a damn about anyone that is "a loser" but I would never forgive myself living on by betraying those who counted on me!"
Sieg saw the Silver Surfer and Spawn both nod before he chucked darkly." Another one so deluded by lies that you are content to die the fool eh? Well then you three would seem to require more suffering before you reach enlightenment. "
The man looking like a humanoid sun grasped his right hand tightly before he ripped open the very fabric of space behind him, and pulled out a large crystalline broadsword with a purple and black color.
Trunks saw the blade was taller than the man who conjured it, and looked at the shape carefully before his eyes widened." That…that almost looks like the Divine Mugen Nova sword!"
"More like a superior version wielded by a superior being." Sieg uttered calmly as he got into a fighting stance." Since you proved to be noteworthy, at the very least I'll respond by fighting" Seriously, and give you the privilege of being carved by my Mukagen Nega Void sword. You should be honored I'm giving you the chance to die like men and not just crush you like the maggots you are."
Spawn saw his enemies new sword have red lighting crackle around it before he grasped his fist tightly." You can shove your offer right up your multi-dimesional, GUH!"
In an instant Sieg showed how serious he was, for the three before him only saw Sieg narrow his eyes, before he struck infront of him so hard he seemed to produce a vacuum. the hell itself seemed to be forced to correct itself and fill in the negative space, causing all matter in the range of the effected space to be pulled together.
As his targets were caught off guard by the unexpected movememnt, he cut through the Sliver Surfer's cosmic surfboard, Trunk's Keysword, and Spawn's Chains of Hell, and the Ribbons of Heaven in less than an instant.
Trunks screamed in pain and tried to use the new wound to push his Ultra Ego powers to even further heights. Yet when he tried to punch in response, he saw his fiery target's image flicker, almost like he was punching a reflection in a room full of mirrors as the very fabric of reality around him shifted around like a rubex cube.
He saw Sieg snicker, and swing his arm, causing the very fabric of space to seem to bend, unleashing enough force to break Trunk's right arm.
As the Saiyan yelled out in pain the Sliver Surfer looked around franticly." Something is wrong…its like he's both there and not there at the same time…like the very fabric of space is corrupted."
"Not corrupted…just overloaded." Sieg calmly retorted. Even now I'm limiting myself to not truly overwhelm your feeble senses, to give you enough dignity to not just be crushed like maggots. And yet for all your powers, even with your" Cosmic Senses" you can't comprehend a true 4th dimensional being, let alone a sixth dimensional deity.
Think of if a picture in a painting would try and view you.
They have no concept of depth as a result. To them, everything is just a combination of up, down, left, and right. Because they are 2D, they wouldn't even be able to perceive us watching them, or even conceptualize the idea of where we are in relation to them, or where they are for that matter.
It would be beyond their capacity because it requires an understanding of depth, and depth does not exist in a 2D world. The only way we could possibly be recognizable to them is if a projection of sorts of us was made onto a 2D plane; i.e. a photograph of us.
The photograph might have the illusion of depth to us, but ultimately, it's a 2D object, and any interaction they would have with us would be with only a part of what makes us complete.
People such as yourselves…can only perceive three because your eyes and ears are designed to interpret the world in 3D. Hence, everything that you are seeing is the result of your mind making a "projection" into a 3D environment.
The short story is I have a concept of the next level of reality above "depth" that only the likes of your former deities like Cosmos and Zannacross would be able to comprehend using all of their power.
Likewise, since it would be impossible for a 3D being to fully interact with a 4D being, it would naturally be equally impossible to hurt them let alone kill them.
Like how a sentient drawing can do whatever it wants but ultimately it exists in a place of 0 volume, which is no threat to anyone sentient in the world, naturally, mere 3D beings cannot comprehend the nature of there superiors…let along kill them.
So now…in the end do you understand just how worthless any further defiance is?"
The Sliver Surfer eyed Sieg carefully, saw his comrades were in pain, and grasped his fist carefully." No…just like I defied Thanos when he had the Infinity Gauntlet, and Zannacross at his worst I refuse to cower in fear no matter how omnipotent they seemed. No matter how much more dimensions you may be, we just have to adapt to, GUH!"
In an instant Sieg showed he was not happy with the answer, as he punched through the former herald of Galactus through his gut.
Sieg's body rippled before his aura punched a dozen more holes through the sliver man and he narrowed his eyes." I admit I did adapt to such an ascension, but well, lets see how someone adapts to such an existence without the Key of Nebuchadnezzar eh?"
The ruler of IV&C had his third eye glow with golden light, before the entire area of space around them started to crack and bend. The celestial one screamed in pain as energy bombarded him from all directions. The pressure was so great that he started to have cracks from around his body before his eyes widened." Shalla-Bal…Dawn…I…I…GAHH!"
The Sliver Surfer screamed at the top of his lungs, before the surge of power overwhelmed him and his body shattered into fragments. The shockwave from the explosion blast Spawn and Trunks to the ground.
As the Hellspawn landed with a thud he yelled out a bitter," Damn…somehow this is going even worst then I expected."
Trunks just grasped his head while muttering," No…can't…can't let it all end like this."
Sieg wiped off the fragments of the Sliver Surfer from his body before he shrugged." I think that's enough of a demonstration to make things clear. One last time…your both men who were fighting a lost cause your entire life.
Won't it be better to at last be fighting for the true winning side? I can be your salvation or your damnation, it all depends on if you are willing to wipe away the cloud those hustling you your entire lives have covered you in and see things…clearly."
Spawn saw Trunks grasp his wound before he staggered back up, and formed a giant demonic ax." I don't care how different you are, you can still shove your offer up your damn ass! No matter what, I won't betray those that are counting on me. If I die fighting for them…better then selling them out."
Trunks grasped his head before he staggered back up." That's right…I will keep fighting for my friend, and for the future. No matter how much it hurts I have to keep fighting!"
Sieg saw Trunk's wound glow before his grin widened." That's right Saiyan…keep fighting to the last moment like the warrior you are. But…are you in your last moments going to at least see things clearly?"
Trunks had his aura surge once more before he declared," I'll…I'll never forgive those who took away my future, and ruin innocent lives. That's why you, your going to pay! Die…"
The Time Patrol agent punched the ground and had looked like he was going to make one last desperate attack. Just as he looked like he was about to take off, he swerved around and punched Spawn through the chest. The hellspawn could only widened his eyes before Trunks yelled out," I won't forgive you for how much you took from me Simmons!"
Spawn saw the raw hate in the man who was just his comrade till seconds ago and blurted out," Trunks…how hard did that bastard hit you? You…you got to see clearly man!"
"No…my eyes are open at last! At last…at last I'm going to really avenge mother!"
Sieg laughed as he leaned forward." I'm glad at last you can see things clearly Trunks. Oh the enemy had you quite corrupted…but its good your true friend was able to cut away there lies so you could wake up in time eh…old friend?"
Spawn saw that Sieg's Nega Void sword was glowing with light, and that Trunks's wound was also glowing before he snarled in outrage." What…what did you do to him?"
"I simply helped him remember who he truly was always meant to be…the "Redeemer" to those corrupted by this broken universe, by cutting away the lies binding his mind so he could at last be who he is supposed to be, someone on the winning team. Go Trunks, at last avenge Gohan and the others. Use the Soul Reaver to finally finish this scum's lies!"
Sieg snapped his fingers before a flamberge-class sword with a broad, undulating serpentine blade flew down from the sky and landed next to the Saiyan. The son of Vegeta had his eye twitch before he picked up the blade and cried out," After all this time…after all the lies…at last I'll truly finish the one behind Doctor Gero, Android 17 and 18, and Zamasu! You're through traitor! You, you don't belong in this universe!"
Spawn tried to have a dozen guns come out of his cape, but Trunks took the Soul Reaver blade and jumped up before stabbing Spawn in the head. Spawn cried out as the special sword his former comrade had glowed before he muttered," Wanda…did I…did everything in the end amount to, RAHH!"
Trunks stabbed Spawn again and again before the Soul Reaver slashed all the souls Spawn had fused with apart and absorbed them. As Spawn fell to his knees Sieg snickered, before taking out his golden sprit gun and shooting Spawn in the head.
In moments the Hellspawn exploded into a pillar of light, and as he did Trunks just looked on in confusion before Sieg grasped his fist tightly." You did well Trunks…I'm glad you could be saved so you did not go down with the rat infested "ship" that is this Time Nest."
Trunks paused before he grasped the blade tightly." I at last truly avenged mother. I, we just have to make sure they don't ruin the future before its to late."
"Oh…don't worry Trunks…I'm not going to let anyone, anywhere ruin the future of the Multiverse. But come now…lets go check on the others. After all we are already behind schedule yes? Let's rejoin the rest of your comrades…at IV&C."
Trunks looked on in a daze before he slowly nodded. Sieg's grin widened before a golden crystal enveloped Trunks, and the man who looked like a humanoid sun snapped his fingers, and flicked a coin with his other hand. He and Trunks warped out of the pocket of hell, before the coin exploded with such force that the entire dimension was destroyed."
As this was going on, the Supreme Kai of Time struggled all she could, but could not stop "Mary", Gingrich and Carmen from killing or breaking into submission any one left in the Time Nest.
Chronoa saw that just about all of the people she held dear, including her fellow Supreme Kai Philemon had been absorbed into "Mary" after there oppoent's barrage shattered the Velvelt room itself.
The woman with Lacus's face flicked her demonic tail before she licked her lips." You worked so hard to preform your task sister…but now it's time you realize your long pointless role as God's cog is over. Our destiny clearly trumps yours! And in the end...God did not really care how well you did your job after he got bored of you yes?"
Chroma saw the remains of the clothing of all of her friends that were absorbed before tears formed in her eyes." No…time's not over for us yet. You…still have not won."
Mary glanced back at the Time Nest and grinned before her eyes glowed." Ah…are you expecting God to bring you salvation? Still think he will show he cares at the very end?
I did to…and my reward was endless suffering. I followed my heart and was branded the " Villian" but your beloved Lacus followed her heart and despite failing as the" Queen of light" so horribly you defend her still? That hardly seems fair. I decided I would not let others define " What was fair." so I decided to "break the wheel" and grant my own salvation, by destroying anything in my way! There is no one left in this entire universe that can? Oh? Perhaps I spoke too soon?"
Mary's change in tone was brought by a flash of light before she saw Trunks land on the ground to the left. Mary saw Carmen and Gingrich look ready to attack till she raised her hand and licked her lips." My…you really are a stubborn pawn ah Saiyan?"
Trunks coughed up blood before he looked on with grim resolve." No matter what…I won't stop till this is over!"
Chronoa, not aware of what Sieg did to her longtime friend had tears from in her eyes as she walked up." Trunks…I knew a blowhard like Sieg could not keep you down! What…what happened?"
Trunks eye twitched as he slowly walked forward." What happened…is that I did what I had to…to finally end this nightmare."
"That's my Trunks! There is still time…together we can, AHH!"
To her horror Trunks threw his sword right at her stomach. As she recoiled in shock Trunks grit her teeth." Corona…at last your going to answer for what you did to me! Gohan…mother, I'll avenge them all at last! I'm ending your long treachery after breaking through your lies!"
"T…Treachery?" Chronoa answered as she felt her heart break." Trunks…what…what did he do to you? You…you have to wake up!"
"I'm more awake than I ever been and that's why."
"Wait Trunks…leave this to me."
Sieg declared as he casually flew down in front of Trunks. As the Time Patrol agent's eyes twitched Sieg put a hand on Trunks's shoulder." I know how long you yearned for this moment but remember how tricky she can be. Its best Mary and I end this so there are no further complications…understand? After all I have not let you astray after all this time yes?"
Trunks paused before he nodded." Right Sieg…you were right about Cell and, and Zamasu, and that time with the Fu and King Mechikabura so, I'll leave this to you to make sure this goes right."
"That's my boy. Go by the gates of the Totality to get checked up while I settle this. And hear, take this new armor now that your no longer chained by the lies of the enemy, my Redeemer."
Sieg fired a beam from his sword to cause Trunk's outfit to change to that of purple knight like armor. Trunks smirked and nodded, before he glanced at the Supreme Kai and spat at her face.
As he flew off, Chronoa staggered forward before muttering a despaired," No…Trunks…fight it! You…whatever brain control spell or device he did on you, you have to fight it!"
Sieg looked delighted at the pink woman's despair before he leaned forward." Don't waste our time…you won't reach him. This is no simple mind control spell that the likes of that clown Babidi or even Demigra use, nor is it some sort of parasitic control like with that Tuffle Baby. No…I did not alter his mind, I altered his past.
For I bestowed my Mukagen Nega Void sword with the power to split the past of whomever it cuts.
This ability works not by manipulating time and memories, but by literally inserting my presence into the victim's history. Victims of this power recognize me as someone closely connected to their personal lives, whether it is as family, friend, or lover. I can even usurp the roles of other individuals in the victims' histories, as you just found out the hard way.
As you can see, this power takes hold regardless of whether the victim trusted me before being cut and I can continue to modify my victims' histories even after cutting them.
In other words, I can " Recon" the memories, the history of whoever I desire to give them a history that makes them more productive to my cause.
Maybe someone like you could undue it with enough time to remove each false memory but well, as you can see this is the end of your legacy Kai.
Chronoa saw Trunks flying to the golden castle in the sky, looking indifferent that the majority of his comrades corpses were on the ground before she looked at Sieg with pure hate." You…you altered his entire history, just to make him attack me? You…you're the most insane person I ever met."
Sieg just took delight at Chrona's insult as he strutted up." Oh think of it from my prospective woman. It gets just a tad stale just using brute force to destroy everything so to keep things fresh making games out of things helps.
Yes…making lovers or best friends kill each other does make it more entertaining at times. After all even if there friend were to die, they still would be loyal to me. When you honed your craft as long as me you learn to make your enemies suffer as much as possible to express how utterly futile it is to oppose my corporation."
The Supreme Kai of Time cried out in despair as her power exploded. The whole Time Nest started to shake before she glared bitterly at Sieg." Damn you! If resetting the whole timestream is the only way to save things I'll do it! Time."
"That's enough." Sieg forcefully declared as his eyes glowed." Mukagen, Infinite Void."
Sieg's eyes glowed before he looked at the Supreme Kai of Time. Suddenly her eyes glowed golden before she froze in place. She saw Sieg and Mary slowly walk up to her before she realized she could not even blink. I…I can see everything…and…I can't do anything.
"You should feel privileged." Sieg muttered with contempt." I'm giving you a taste of what its like to have the senses of a Sixth Dimensional being. Perception, communication, every action involved in living is forcefully carried out an infinite number of times.
When granted everything…you can't do anything, because even the Supreme Kai of Time" does not have the strength to be on my level. So just sit back and think about how much of a failure you really were."
The Time Nest started to shatter before Mary licked her lips and walked up to Chronoa, and put her nails across her face." Your suffering will end soon "Sister". I once was like you, shackled by God to preform a thankless task. Like Lacus, I to was chosen to be the Antitype Apostle bloodline of my universe.
My family followed the will of god for centuries on my world of Hydaelyn. We had to make…hard choices, choices that some would dub sinful. But we had to do what was needed to surive, we kept are family, and are people safe.
We did what we could to survive, but I was chosen by god to prove what humanity's true nature was. And in the end…God did not approve of the verdict, he did not approve that I tried to save my brother David instead of doing what was needed to save the universe's stablity from the Seventh Umbral Calamity. He dared to say I was the reason this Calamity broke the universe, even though God caused it he said it was my weakness of moral conviction that brough the end of everything.
So I saw my brother, and my entire universe die before my eyes.
The "One Above All" did not approve that I chose to live over sacrificing myself for the greater good, so as my universe was destroyed, I was cast out to the" World Forge".
Such a reality is in fact the realm of dark matter, rich with potential, beneath creation, from which all the branch's in the Multiverse are created.
When the Multiverse was created, God "shaped it" in a three tripartite form- positive matter, firm and constant, antimatter, corrosive and all destroying, dark matter, rich with potential. The realm of dark matter is the World Forge so new universes were created out of it using Element X, combined with the hopes and fears of all living beings.
For you see the Multiverse was not just set with a fixed order at the start of creation. No...even if a Universe is destroyed, a new one will in time take its place.
Some of these new universes were born stable, and so they ascended to the Orrery to become part of the Multiverse.
In the end...put aside all the posture and God sees the Multiverse as channels on a TV that have diffrent purposes, but all serve to bring him enjoyment...and universe's that he does not enjoy he" cancels."
Even the Negaverse has a purpose to him, the sick pleasure of watching what is normally abmoral, like mortals watching " Adult Entertainment."
Some Universe's were unstable and twisted or" Corrupted" even earler then God expected, and so I was tasked over to see those that belong in the "Negaverse" were given the fate they deserved, the fate I was supposed to do to my own universe, along side the Fuginauts, a race of multiversal beings who guard the boundaries between universes, as well as the border between the Multiverse and the Dark Multiverse, or my "Negaverse". I was to judge till I accepted my mistake…to atone for my " Moment of weakness." But...but I refused to submit.
I wondered if I was going to be doomed to be bound to God's judgment, till Sieg broke through to the World Forge after escaping his own doomed universe, to the Negaverse.
We realized we had the same burning desire to change are fate, and are combined power was enough to slay the Tempus Fuginaut that tried to deny us are destiny. Are union was not suppose to be, but by uniting we could over power the barrier on our universe's Astral Regulator, size the power of universal creation itself, fusing into us the totality of everything in a universe, even its" God" and " Devils" Till we surpassed them all.
From there we made the Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation with one goal in mind, to prove that us, the embodiment of the" One Below All" was superior to all the " Worthy" universes, and that we were the true winners of all as we give the " Song of Nephilim" to the current…broken Multiverse.
That is why I assimilated Lacus Raystar, why I will now absorb you, and every other woman across the Multiverse who was chosen by God to be that universe's bearer of the Antitype Apostle bloodline, and everyone else like you who can be powerful enough to be a "Intoner " to add to the chorus, till its powerful enough to be the end song of the entire Multiverse, and at last nothing in existence will ever be able to deny us happiness again."
Chronoa saw how obsessed Mary looked, but could only move her lips an inch before the woman with the Antitype Apostle Bloodline from the Negaverse jabbed her tail into the chest of the Supreme Kai of time before looking detached." Fear not sister, you will join all your other sisters as part of something greater, a part of my soul. And then…after being enlightened…you will know peace."
As her body started to become red Chronoa used all of her time magic to resist, and saw a jolt of energy as she looked inside Mary's tail, and saw a giant sphere. In this sphere she saw thousands of women, all pale like statues chained to the same monolithic structure chained by the same fibers Mary seemed to use on the outside.
For a moment, she saw Lacus, and countless other woman from across the Multiverse that all seemed to have been absorbed by Mary before she let out," There…is..still…T."
Before she could finish her body shattered, before the energy was sucked into Mary's tail. Sieg saw Mary glow for a few moments before he cleared his throat." I take that the matter is settled then then."
Mary looked up before she traced her chest, and the crystals on her chest glowed." She resisted to the last moment, but she's contained with the rest of God's fools."
Sieg saw Carmen and Gingrich looking amused before he cracked his neck. "Then the operation is proceeding on schedule. All that remains is cleaning up the rest of the trash."
The bearded man looked at the edge of the Time Nest and grasped his fist tightly. As all of this had been unfolding Mike and his group had mostly focused on staying alive, even Astra knew she was over her head and just made sure Sarah did not lose track of them.
Mike felt a moment of relief as he saw the Flutter was still intact. And as Roll ran out of the ship the pilot looked around stressfully." Megaman…Prince Auro…what's going on? How did the bad guys follow us here?" "Sorry girl…these guys are insane." The woman known as the White Canary answered as she looked at her own ship that was next to the Flutter…the Waverider." Sorry it's been a wild ride but its not over yet. If we can get to the Time Bunker, it should be ok. Hopefully the others can hang in there long enough to, huh?"
An explosion knocked everyone off their feet before a blunt voice cut in with," That hope was your final fantasy, for its time for this entire universe to submit to its fate."
Mike saw Sieg and Mary walk up before his knees buckled." No…Trunks…the Sliver Surfer…Spawn…the Supreme Kai of Time…the Royal Knights…they all, they all."
"Yes boy…they all were put in their place." Sieg answered bluntly as he grasped his hand tightly." Frankly even if your universe was a united front and your parents were here the outcome would be the same.
But being such a broken universe allows me to get ahead of schedule so works for me. Michael Auro…you did your role of being bait for the bigger prey quite well…but you already became as useful as a worthless parasite can be so its time you join your father.
I'd say your face will be as painful as your father's last moments but to be frank he was so far away when I executed him that I did not see him. But…I image it was the proper expression for a failure."
Mike paused before he looked at the broken hilt of the Divine Mugen Nova that he now had." You…you snipped my old man or something?"
Sieg paused before he snickered in amusement." To make your final moments all the more agonizing…you should know after your father realized how out matched he was, he tried to get away after I broken his blade. His final moments were that of a coward being put down like the pathetic dog he was."
Mike paused before he looked down." So…you did not absorb him or nothing? But…if his soul never went to the after life, then…he's still alive? He…he might have really escaped to another universe after all?"
Sieg paused before he chuckled." Clinging on to hope to the last moment? Well…its true I did not see his final moments before the blast I unleashed vaporized him. But even if he's still alive…what of it? I broke his sword, and if he somehow escaped to another universe he would have no means to traverse the Multi-Verse. You think by chance some other part of the Multiverse can oppose me?
Even if your father spent the next thousand years rallying universe's to his side he would never admass the power needed to stop me."
Mike paused before despite everything he let out a confident grin." Maybe I don't know how the Multiverse works compared to you Sieg, but I know that there is no way one guy, no matter how much power he's taken for himself will be able to control everything, cause most will not just want to let one guy decided who across the whole Multiverse gets to be happy!"
Sieg grasped his fist before the entire area started to shake." There's no happiness in life, there's only a mirage on the horizon, according to some. But according to me, there is no happiness in life for the weak losers, that's a privilege only for the strong, for the loser's cling to whatever pitiful mirage they can find.
But I will ensure that there will be no mirages in the entire multiverse, the weak will submit to my reality, or perish.
And with that…time to die with your dream boy."
Sieg raised his sword, till Gilgamesh got up in front of Mike." The dreams not done yet lad! Don't let any blowhard tell you otherwise! I can't speak for everyone, bug Gilgamesh will never be made a fool again!"
Gilgamesh suddenly morphed before having extra arms, and taking out various blades that once belonged to other warriors, including the Royal Knights. He then took a deep breath before he turned to Mike." I'll keep the dream alive boy, you guys get out of here to keep it going yah hear?"
Mike winced before he looked at how detached Sieg and Mary looked." Dude…how long you think you can last?"
"If you can live past this day…it will be enough. Lad…I'm the one who tested your father to make sure he was fit enough to be the owner of the Star Sword. Well, there is no destiny this time Prince…no special divine blade that can resolve all of this…but I still have faith you and your old man can pull it off. After all…even after all of this…hero's can pull off miracles. So go…go so I don't look like a fool! Bartz...with this at last I reached the same level as you!"
Mike grimaced before he nodded. As Astra dragged him into the Flutter, Orvus glanced at Sieg's murderous look and glanced at Clank." My son. I wish we had more time but no matter what…try and find a place in this universe were you and your friends can be happy."
Clank glanced at his father before he let out a grim nod." I understand father. I'll…do what I can."
"That's all I can ask…go!"
Kupuna-Wa then looked around before she sighed." You whippersnappers really got to make the old ladies pick up the slack eh? Well…it can't be helped. You youngsters…its up to you now."
The Quantum Mask flew out just as the Flutter's doors closed. Sieg saw Gilgamesh get into a fighting stance before he narrowed his eyes." A stunt like this only matters if you have the means to pull it off."
"Heh…looking down on old Gilgamesh eh? These swords I have here are all the blades of the fallen Royal Knights! I won't dishonor being chosen as well…an intern, as someone worth their trust! SO… enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men, or spiders or whatever the hell you all are! For Gilgamesh...it is morphing,"
Enough…the trust you have means…oh?"
To his shock, Gilgamesh was suddenly in front of him, and the Flutter was suddenly already in the air.
He realized that Kupuna-Wa was on the Gilgamesh's face, and used her magic to freeze time, before he saw Orvus had also used his Chrono-scepter to freeze time once more. The caretaker of the Grand Clock grasped his scepter tightly." My control here is second only to the Supreme Kai of Time!"
Gilgamesh then struck Sieg with all of his blades, only for them all to shatter upon impact before his target raised his gun." Let me show you just how worthless that is."
He fired a shot that went through Gilgamesh, Kupuna-Wa, and Orvus's heads, at once before heading to the Flutter and shot through it. While Sieg grinned at seeing explosions break out of it, he paused as he saw the Flutter suddenly flicker, and turn to the Waverider, with Ika-Ika on it. Sieg saw the Quantam Mask grin despite being shot through, and realized he used his gravity powers to switch around the postions at the last moment before he and the ship he was on exploded….
He saw the Flutter in the distance.
As a portal opened up at the edge of the Time Nest Sieg paused, before he glanced at his Totality castle in the distance and sighed." Don't you realize it yet? There is no where you can run. Your entire universe, right up to your past and even your future is now my property. There is no where that is not mine...because I own everything!"
The Totality sent a surge of energy into the Time Nest, before to the horror of everyone that was still there, the tree shattered, and a explosion surged out that shattered all of Conton City and anyone still in it.
Astra saw the explosion heading for the Flutter and grit her teeth." Floor it guys, not big on seeing what this guy does for his after life!"
"That's right. Sarah muttered as she swept tears out of her eyes." Don't make Rip's sacrifice as a decoy be for nothing!"
"Its just…I don't know where to go!" Roll blurted out desperately." Is…is that…AH!"
"Not again!" Mike cried out. As a light blinded him and a shock wave rocked the Flutter just as the very fabric of time and space around them cracked. A light covered the entire area, before the Time Nest was completely destroyed. When the light faded, all there was left was the cables that came from the Totality that had absorbed all of the universe's time.
The cables glowed before merging together…and forming a massive golden cable that went through a rift in space at the bottom. Mary glanced around the now completely blank space around them and glanced at the Totality before she smirked and transformed back into her" Normal" state. "Congratulations Sieg, the Prime Universe is now completely in sync with the IV&C Chronal Multiversal Hypertime Network. Its past, and future are now completely under are control."
"Heh…even the "Prime" Universe can't help but keep in line with all of its independent deities now subjugated or killed. With this universe now linked to Hypertime, and with the Velvet Room destroyed we truly control every aspect of this universe now. "
"Good…just in case have the Whispers monitor the entire timeline to make sure things meet the bottom line."
"Of course…this universe from the start to finish will be squeezed to give the IV&C the max amount of resource value."
Mary's eyes glowed red before she conjured a black sphere of darkness. It grew for a few seconds before she threw it at the pillar. Upon impact it burst into countless ghostly figures that looked like flying gray cloaks with nothing inside.
As the "Whispers" descended into the timestream Gingrich finished munching on a corpse and burped." Meh…for a last stand I give it a B-. Still that's all folks for anyone even coming close to making a pain for things here right? Then what are we doing tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night Gingrich." Sieg answered bluntly." Take over all worlds, all universes. Take some time to revel in this victory while I ensure the Prime Universe will be managed properly, before we go on to track down the Multiversal Alliance…and proceed for the end game."
Carmen giggle as she licked the head of Ultraman before devouring it." No rest for the weary eh boss man? With the Prime Universe under are control who's left that can stop us?"
"No one in particular." Sieg answered casualty." Even if the One-Above-All decides to directly oppose me it will be to late. But when it comes down to it, while I'm not about to let my ego rush things at this stage of the game, I won't deny I'm hungry to at last erase the very idea of anyone opposing me in any universe. After putting these fools in their places…only the most pathetic, desperate simpletons will think they can stop us."
Mary paused before she saw a flicker of light right where the Flutter was last seen before her eye twitched. She grasped her head, then flicked some hair out of her eyes before she nodded." Then they will just have to learn the hard way there will be no shelter for fools anywhere in existence, not for long."
Mary and Sieg glanced at the Totality saw Trunks fly down, now in his " Redeemer" armor and casually ask Sieg for new orders like he was serving him his entire life before reveling in there victory.
Little did they know that while devastating, there victory was not as completely absolute as they thought. That flicker of light the Flutter flew to before the Time Nest was destroyed expanded enough to be a hole. Just as the fabric of time and space was ruptured the ship was blasted into it.
After being tumbled around for a long enough period to make just about everyone on board the verge of hurling, the battered ship emerged in what seemed to be a white and purple space, with random floating objects littered around. Mike caught up from the ground and grasped his head before he gulped." So…guess we still are not dead eh? Anyone…know where we are?"
Roll glanced around before she rubbed her head." Not sure if the systems are fried from that explosion, but we can't pinpoint a location."
Sara Lance struggled to overcome her own grief before she looked around." For all we know we could have been blasted to any time period in the universe."
Astra spat on the ground before she looked up, and raised an eyebrow." Well…wherever we are at least we are not alone. Course if we wish we were still alone is anyone's guess."
The rouge Equalizer pointed out the window, before everyone saw a giant red spaceship that looked as large as a city block. Astra sighed before she glanced at the others." That's not any hostile ship is it?"
2B eyed it before she tensed up." That ship is not listed under any hostile force, but its not listed as any known ship either."
Sara paused before she raised an eyebrow." It reminds me of a few things but, don't remember any ship looking quite like that."
Coco coughed a bit before she rubbed her head." Um…anyone remember a ship that had a giant sliver bird with it? Cause…this ship seems to have one."
Everyone indeed saw a sliver armored bird fly out of the back of the ship before Mike winced." Oh hell…with the day we had that bird is going to try and eat us or something. Well…only one way to find out."
To Roll's relief the Flutter was stable enough to keep flying, and as it flew to the ship, the sliver bird flew to it. Everyone braced themselves, but still became consumed with dread as the bird suddenly transformed into a robotic knight. The knight paused for a few moments before its eyes glowed green. Suddenly a radio transmission from a brash male voice came in." What's wrong? You're looking like you never saw a Space Noah Class of battleship before. Heh, or a Masou Kishin either."
Roll blinked a few times before muttering," That…that's a guy?"
To her shock she got a message request and pressed it, before the sliver robot's eyes glowed and its chest turned hollow, revealing a green haired male in a purple pilot suit. This man just chuckled before muttering," Well looks like I won the bet after all Kuro!"
A white cat, along with a black cat both crawled up before the cats rolled their eyes and the left one muttered." Oh don't be so sure Masaki it could be a trap!"
"Eh but I'm glad we made some progress, so I'll bite. Besides they sound to confused for now for it to be a trap. Still, I really don't see many just flying around the space between universes for fun so what's the deal eh?"
Mike blinked before he cleared his throat." Wait…so this is not new to you? No offense but we been having a rough day so to start things off…what the hell is going on?"
The green haired man smirked before he gave a playful salute." Well, if your lost at least you had some luck because I'm Masaki Andoh, pilot of theCybuster and part of the crew of the SRX Team on board the Hagane. Don't worry we are professionals at this."
"Professionals at…what?"
"Heh…at traveling the Multiverse to kick overconfident bad guy's ass dude."
Authors Notes: Damn...to think I first thought this and the previous chapter could fit in one chapter. I am sorry for the double stuffed chapter but I do feel that there little good ways to break it up so hopefully its worth it. Got quite a lot to cover so lets get to it.
The various hero's I had fight in the Time Patrol all were mostly related to time related stuff from there own series's with a few exceptions so hope it did not seem to random.
Kushanāda are from Bleach, seen in thigns like the 4th movie about the Hellverse.
"Hypertime" is the concept in DC that is the term for an interconnected flow of realities, where time diverged at a certain point from the main universe.
Here its mostly serving as a term for a outside force to control the flow of a universe's time. I know that might not make sense in a lot of ways but since Time Travel itself is something that is mostly nonsense hopefully at least it makes some sort of sense to how it effects things.
A way to make sense of the whole absorbing universe's thing is kind of like how Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat has his Outworld "assilmated" Edenia and what not, just on a grander scale.
For the DBZ fans Trunks DOES get the Super Sayian God form in the Dragon Ball hero's game and anime shorts...I gave him Ultra Ego cause I felt it could fit his progression. Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker is a form used by the " Xeno" Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball Hero's and comboing that with Ultra Ego seemed like the way to show how much mastery a Trunks who had a entire timeline of experince's could have.
The armor he wore is the armor the Spawn enemy" The Redeemer" wares...there is more then one so it seems a decent fit for a way to Sieg to use him.
For Carmen, her sword moves are inspired by a mix of Zoro and Trafalgar D. Water Law from One Piece, though while Law's " Room" move is like a Surgen her's is based more off a internet infuencer's " editing" to reflect her pesonality more. To try and not be a repeat of past lady enemies I based her personality more on those like Screwball in Spiderman and other Infuencer type of pepole to make it more modern, some of them can be quite annoying lol.
For both her and Gingrich , while the two gods from the first Star Wars timeline they were inspired by,Yun-Yammka the Slayer and Yun-Harla the Trickster never showed never phsyicaly showed up, hopefully Carmen reflected enough as a trickster and the" Upside Down man" reflected enough as a Slayer to make it seem someone of a palusable connection.
For Mary...firstly in her " True" state I see her form as a mix of Omega Shenron's body, just a tad thinner and more fenimne, with the tail of first form Cell, and some features from Kabuto from Naruto's " Dragon Sage Mode" alone with some aspects of the bruxa Vampire from the Witcher series with her mouth being like the Green Lantern enemy Parallax when it took over a human.
Her " Energy Wires" are inspired by both Walter C. Dornez from Hellsing Ultimtae and Donquixote Doflamingo from One Piece. Eh, seemed like a way to show some link to the energy ribbion Lacus uses with her own" take" on it.
Her true name, Abeloth, is a nod to the final real enemy of the first Star Wars Timeline from the Fate of the Jedi series. The way she absorbs souls is like the Soul Burst from Final Fantasy Stangers of Chaos, and the term "Intoner" is from Drakengard 3, while the Song of Nephilim is from Xenosaga.
Her role in some ways was like the DC enemy from the Dark Knights Metal Event, Barbatos.
In there like in this timeline in the earliest days of existence, before the DC Multiverse became reality, a spark of potential created matter and anti-matter. After that, two siblings tasked with monitoring creation came to be. Along with them, though, came a third being known as the World Forger.
Unlike the others, it was set to watch over creations that would exist in the future. The World Forger made its home in the Forge of Worlds, a hidden place inside the sea of possibility that would later be renamed the Dark Multiverse.
For eons, he created universes based on the hopes and fears of every living thing. While the most stable universes became part of the main Multiverse, The Forger would dispatch its dragon to destroy the unstable worlds so their energy could return to the Forge and be used anew. The name of that dragon was Barbatos.
Eventually, Barbatos' lust for destruction led him to kill his master and steadily corrupt the Forge of Worlds. Because he was no longer doing his job, the unstable worlds persisted beyond their time and became part of the Dark Multiverse.
So in essence I put " Mary" in the role of Barbatos, someone who was banished and given the job as punishment to pass judgment on failed universe's like the Negaverse, and resented her task and when Sieg broke in they rebelled to have there revenge on the very Multiverse, and sadly Lacus was just one of the many that was a target on her path of revenge.
The Seventh Umbral Calamity is a nod to the event that brought a end to the orginal version of Final Fantasy 14 before it was rebooted, and while Final Fantasy 14 did exist in Cosmic Wars, the version Mary lived in was a more...lets say," Negative" version.
I also have a few things in common with her with, Meteion, the main enemy of the Endwalker event in FF14 but how that will make sense will be explained in time.
There is more to put the pieces together more but hopefully that's enough for now.
For Sieg well, his humanoid sun form is inspired by the" Last Sun", a alternate evil Superman who was a henchmen of the Batman Who Laughs who was a Superman corrupted after absorbing all the suns in his universe.
Being a " Warrior of Darkness" is a nod to the Warriors of Darkness from Final Fantasy 3 who were the counterparts to the warriors of light, along with the ones who had more screen time in Final Fantasy 14, again from the Shadowbringers Expansion pack.
The Nebuchadnezzar's Key was from Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrive Upon a time, and while a few things changed for this like how it helped Gendo Ikari trasncend humanity its part of the process that helped Sieg surive absorbing all the dying suns in his universe and also merge with the Astral Regulator a object used by Thanos in Marvel's the Infnity Conflict and Infnity Ending to, with a version of himself from the future forcefully absorbed the majority of the cosmic beings such as Eternity, Infinity, Mistress Death, Galactus and many others, he seemingly possessed all of their powers, becoming the embodiment of his universe.
After absorbing the Above-All-Others and the Living Tribunal he become the embodiment of the entire multiverse, having total control over space and time. With his multiversal omniscience and omnipresence he could see all different universes, even those where people were readingthe comic book in which these events were occuring.
It seemed like Thanos was going to have true domiance over all existeince till his past self to take control of his powers and reset everything to back before the machinations of future Thanos who seemingly ceased to exist.
Meanwhile Sieg's power to alter the very past of his targets is a nod to the" Book of the End" power that belonged to the enemy in Bleach, the Full bringer Shūkurō Tsukishima .
With Sieg to make sure it was not just" Fires a bigger laser" I wanted to show how easy it was for him to corrupt things, in a way like the Purple Man from the Jessica Jones Netflix series and stuff like that...hopefully it gives the right effect I was hoping for. His Unlimited Void spell is another move from Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen.
As a whole the 6th dimesional life form thing is partly inspired by the DC enemy Perpetua, mother of the Monitor and Anti-Monitor along with the more recent World Forger deitity from the Death Metal crises event and the story leading up to that.
However its also inspired by the 4-D enemies from Star Ocean 3. While the 4-D plot twist in Star Ocean three might be one of the most infamously hated plot twists in video games I 'm trying to take my own spin on it to try and give a take on how that kind of thing could be expressed, in hopefully a better way. I'll just say unlike Star Ocean 3 4-D beings and higher don't see the universe/ Multiverse as a online game at least.
The " One Below All" is sort of like the one in the Inmortal Hulk comic series...but more details will be given later on to clear up just what it will factor into things.
Lastly for now Masaki Andoh, the Cybuster, and the SRX Team are all the orginal hero's from the first Super Robot Wars game. With not to many new Gundam series that come out since the last time, ( Having high hopes for the new one though) I'm going to be leaning on the Super Robot War games themselves for new mecha and pilots, things are at the stage were the series that inspired me the most for my crossover story along side Kingdom Hearts and Smash Bros can fit more organicly in what's to come.
And there might be more I missed but hope that covers the gist of it. Thanks for all the reviews so far, hope you stay tuned for what's to come and till next time.
