Chapter 280: Code of a Hero Amiss The Rumbling of the Savage Siege!
As much as the berserk fury of Thragg, Omni-Man, and the majority of the Viltrumite race was causing Mike, Astra, and the rest of those on Corneria, if not the whole Bethel Kingdom to feel like their fate was about to be decided, while the stress caused them to forget about the rest of their problems, it did not mean they were not active.
While by some miracle Sieg still had not found out about Mike, Astra, and the rest of their group's survival, it did not mean this entire time he was sitting still, as another universe was on the verge of facing his wrath.
The man with Ben's face casually was strolling past large gates, looked around to see that the entire area around him was covered with large pits of flames and piles of corpses. On the left was a giant head of a skull, and on the right was the image of a woman with a reaper's hood.
He saw waiting for him was a legion of men and woman clad in black knight like outfits. in addition the sky was blocked out by countless flying creatures that looked like the Parademons normally associated as the minions of Darksied. On the walls were many more soliders that all had blue energy bows drawn.
They all had black rings on there fingers and the Sith troopers took out red light sabers before he shrugged." Oh, another take on the Sith Eternal Empire eh? How…dogmatic. Still, I admit I don't see many that are merged with the Quincy Jagdarmee of the Wandenreich though."
The legion of Dark Side users all raised their blades before a gruff voice cut in with," Heh…this guy don't know what a invite is eh boys? Damn it did you leave the door open again Bebop?"
A humanoid boor with a mohawk and a mohawk burped before shrugging." Hey, we don't like rats in our fair city. Did you let him in Rocksteady? Maybe I should just wring your stinkin' neck!"
A humanoid rhino with beige cargo pants next to him burped before he snorted out," Hey he was not on any list!"
"Then guess we have to give him the welcome he deserves!" A new aggressive male voice cut in with.
Sieg saw the voice came from a tall man sporting a real-life 1950s criminals' hairdo. He's nose-less and slightly taller than the average human, his body structure was humanoid and muscular with red skin.
On his right was a more diminutive members of the guard. He had light green skin, red eyes and an tentacle-like hair on his head.
To the right was a woman with a slender and attractive build, wearing a the same black uniform as the rest. Her hairstyle resembled that of a mohawk with her hair length going to her back. She's a humanoid alien with pale skin and magenta eyes. Her hair was pink with a maroon scalp and she had large elf ears.
In front of them was a male with blue skin of the Centaurian race with a red coat and a spike for a head. The man saw Sieg walk in and whistle." Look here boys, guess the Ravangers are going to have fun tonight after all eh? Look boy, I may be as pretty as an angel, but I sure as hell ain't one. So unless you want to see what a pissed off Yondu Udonta does for fun how about wiping that grin off your face?"
The woman giggled before looking at the tall one past Yondu." Oh, he almost looks cute Saganbo, can't we have fun?"
"Cut it out Miza!" The short one cried out." No matter what…if we let anyone walk in unannounced it will be our heads on the pikes!"
"Shimorekka is right Miza." Saganbo uttered." No wise guy is allowed to just walk in like he owns the place! Do you even know where you are asshole?"
"But of course." Sieg confidently replied." My new property."
"Oh that's it!"Yando cried out before he whistled, and the spike on his head flew out and became a Yaka metal cybernetic prosthesis in the shape of a arrow." High time we show this smartass what happens to clowns who try and enter without saying the password!"
Sieg saw dozens of lightsabers be pointed at him, while at the same time the Quincy Jagdarmee archers all had there bows shimmer with energy before Yondu whistled again and the arrow shot at him.
In the blink of the eye he casually caught the arrow in his fingers. He waved his hand, and all of the red energy was ripped out of the soldiers lightsabers and Quincy bows and suddenly drawn to Sieg's hand.
The ruler of the IV&C casually had all the energy go into the arrow he caught before he smirked." I think you all are the ones who need to learn what happens to clowns. After all I have the true password, the only thing that is the real key anywhere, power."
He waved his hand, and the arrow swerved around, and hit Yondu in the gut, and also hit Saganbo before the two were both slammed into the gates. It exploded a second later and vaporized the rest of the soldiers. As body parts rained down Sieg merely shrugged." I guess my reputation was becoming infamous if the opposing armies would rather cause mass suicide.
A shame their leader has them so wound up into fanatical hysteria …they missed out on quite the bargain. But…I suppose there's always their souls."
He was about to walk up till a female laugh that cut in before following up with," Only a fool or a being with the power of god would dare walk into the depths of Apokolips to mock Terraxia…the voice of death! But since you made light of my armies…you're clearly the later."
Sieg saw the massive Gothic castle before him have its gates open, before a woman came out being carried by a dozen skeletons holding her thrown. She came out of the gates with black, purple and gold armor.
She had purple skin, a wrinkled face, and glowing gold eyes. In her hand was a gauntlet with six gems in them, and she had a cape with the symbol of Anti-Life on her back.
She floated above Sige as a group that seemed to be her elite followers, all who had black rings and blotchy skin before the head of the IV&C made a mocking bow." Heh…Thanos the Mad Titan seems to be one who's spawned countless variants across the multiverse…but it's amusing that his wife Terraxia, that normally is just his disposable servant manages to surpass him. You misunderstand me Terraxia…I'm not here to fight you, but to recruit you."
Terraxia raised an eyebrow before she snickered." You and your golden castle vaporizing my fleets around Ryut, Boreth, Amenth, Barian World, and Exegol made your intentions quite clear!
And you talk like you know me, and my spineless coward of a husband Thanos? Demigra…he speaks like that wretch Fu ranting on about time paradox's and the like…is he from that mirror dimension?"
She glanced to the left to a man with pale white skin and spiky red hair who wore a heavenly-blue overcoat with golden details on his upper part of the body and rounded on the arms.
He wore blue boots curling at the end of it and a darker blue in pants and also wore a belt with the letter "D" in the front, a golden tiara and he welded a white staff with a red orb at the top.
This Demigra was looking at his staff before he winced." Empress Terraxia…he does not show up from anywhere in the universal time-stream."
Another one of her servants, a man with long, black hair and two prominent horns that jut down from his forehead but appeared to frame his head. Additionally, he had four horns on his head, two on each side, and one jutting from the back of his head, giving him a total of seven horns.
He rubbed his chin and uttered," This man's clearly confident about himself. After all...never reveal your trump card first, or if you must, make sure you have a second one up your sleeve.
Another member of the" Court" walked up and had the appearance of a young man. He wore black and tan robes with gold trim, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso. He had short black hair, dark eyes, and abnormally sharp canines. He also wore a pendant before he grasped said pennant and smirked."
This man...he reeks's of enough death that a planet could not fit all the corpses. No matter what...he feels like a a front to nature itself. this feeling, could this too be caused by the curse of contradictions...? Or is it my own emotions? I'm not entirely sure. But...trying to ruin the grand ceremony makes you trash. And trash that doesn't even know it's trash deserves to fall into the abyss."
Another very tall, thin, pale young man walked up past Yomi and the other man. He wore numerous long white scarves, encircling his entire neck and a large portion of his head, and upwards of five to six shirts on his body, each of varying style and color.
Even this significant amount of clothing was covered by a further layer; consisting of a red and black pinstriped blazer, as well as an extremely long pair of dark trousers, burying the black shoes worn underneath in a mass of fabric.
He adopted the symbol of three vertical eyes, as he possessed a third eye on his forehead. Not only does each strand of dark hair on his head look like an eye, due to the presence of white markings, but even his pupils featured this same eye-like shape.
This signature eye symbol was tattooed to the backs of each of his hands and the long scarf that encompassed his head was embellished with multiple black images of these vertical eyes, wrapped in a very particular manner so as to display only three at the front.
This man licked his lips before rasping out," Heh, all that really matters Zeref...is what brings this man terror. It feels strange...but that just means it will be fun to see what makes him break out in horror!"
Another male near him, a slim man with pale skin, tinged yellow teeth, and a great deal of wrinkles around his eyes walked up. His lips were chapped and uneven, a small mole on the right underneath, with visible scars on his right eye and under his lip.
He had messy, grayish-blue hair of varying lengths, the longest clumps reaching to about his shoulders, left hanging over his face in uneven waves. His eyes and mouth were usually stretched wide in a rather maniacal manner, their bright red irises very small, and he had fourteen embalmed hands, all positioned so they're holding onto him on different parts of his body.
He itched his face as he saw Sieg before he let out a deranged chuckle." I know what you mean Asura! This guy's smug look reminds me of all the " hero"'s we killed!
One last one crawled out of some rock eh?" Because of you hero's, this weight in my heart is never gonna go away. It's why I hate everything. Every living, breathing thing just rubs me the wrong way. So why not destroy it all? Why not destroy everything? Dragging the last hero to ashes is going to be fun. Something feels different about this guy, and that means it will be even more fun to see him turn to dust!"
Another of her minions…a towering humanoid goat with blue skin and two horns on the sides of his head that curled around to point forward near his cheeks eyed Sieg before he stroked his beard." All to true Tomura. His energy is like nothing I felt in the past Empress, maybe it's from that Anti-Matter realm you created by mistake?"
Sieg snickered before making a beckoning gesture." Oh, I assure you Moro…I'm not a mirror from the likes of that. I give you credit where its due. You have absolute mastery over your universe, and unlike clowns such as Emperor Nefarious it's not just because the universe is weak.
But you let turning your universe into this "Cancerverse", resulting in a population of universe-wide living corpses has caused you to get…narrow in your perspective. I was trying to be diplomatic but your forces are to one note to even conduct negotiations so I had to be…direct.
But now that this meeting is conducted let's get down to business eh? I am Sieg V-Day Elgan, the man who always wins. I'm the ruler of the Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation, an establishment that controls entire universes across the multiverse.
I'm aware you think the multiverse is just "mirrors" of your universe…but I'm here to inform you in your hubris your mistaken about the order of things.
You have the drive to be a profitable employee of mine Terraxia of universe 10011, so for your sake I would hope you're wise enough to see the most profitable outcome of this. I assure you…I'm rarely this generous to go out of my way to scout someone and offer a spot on my high table so quickly."
Terraxia paused for a few moments before she started laughing." You, you look like my waiter Benimaru! It's been so long that I forgot what it means to laugh like this! Sinister…this your attempt at entertaining me for the anniversary of my ascension? Your effort is noted even if it's amounting to borderline heresy."
Sieg saw the pale faced man with a red jewel on his head behind Terraixa winced before muttering," My Empress…I'm sorry you got the wrong impression but this is not my doing. After all Benimaru is right behind you."
Sieg saw someone that looked like him and Ben, but thin to the point of starving, bald and pale white skin, and saw his counterpart in this reality twitch in fear before he sighed." So…that's how it played out in this universe?"
Benimaru cowered at Sieg's look before he bowed." A thousand apologies sir, I, I don't know what I did to displease you."
Sieg wound back his head before his eyes narrowed at hearing his counterpart talk with a slurring sound." Oh even the simpleton you appear to be should not have a hard time grasping it. Every moment I look at a defective eyesore like you it annoys me, thus, there is only one solution."
The owner of IV&C snapped his fingers before his counterpart exploded less then a second later. Benimaru's head rolled over to Sieg, and even severed from its body Benimaur whimpered in fear." Please master I'll do anything to be of service, please give me a chance!"
The bearded man's eye twitched before his eyes glowed golden." Worthless cockroaches have no right to ask anything."
His aura flared up as Sieg casually crushed Benimaru's head. As he used his aura to make sure the remains did not regenerate he shrugged as he saw everyone's shocked looks."What can I say...other then I loath no one more then myself? At least the self that fails to be the best possible version.
I put so much demands on my employees that its only fair I hold myself to the ultimate standards, and insure there is only one thing that people associate me with, that of a winner."
"This joke is getting rather convoluted Sinister."
"Tsc...I assure you…this is far from a cosmic joke…the difference will soon be made clear."
Terraxia narrowed her eyes before making a beckoning gesture." I can only humor so much…your time for confession is running out. After all…why would I need an alliance with anyone when I am master of all?"
Sieg saw the madness in her eyes and let out he sighed." Another too prideful to see reality eh? A shame. Your work is almost a work of art, but as they say, if you can't buy the art, buy the artist."
Terraix had her eye twitch before she grasped her hand tightly." I humored you but my patience wears thin. I wield the Infinity Emeralds, and have absolute mastery of power, time, space, reality, mind, and the soul! My power over this universe is absolute!"
"Over this universe yes." Sieg uttered casually." But you let yourself get lax with your reign, not putting any effort to ponder if you could control even more. I'll give you one chance to concede to the reality of the situation, and ponder if you really want everything to amount to ruling over a crumbling underworld, from a withered throne? Because if you won't be part of my order…your just another rival to exterminate."
"Enough!" Terraxia hissed out as the entire planet started to shake. I'm Terraxia Nyx Galaxia…the voice of death…and all there is! I let chaos seep out to have a few fun things to torment but only till they are no longer amusing…and you throwing off my schedule for the day is no longer amusing!"
Sieg just looked more amused at the woman's rising anger before he made a beckoning gesture."
"The universe is always on schedule, because I set the schedule everywhere I am. Besides, punctuality: virtue of the bored, for the greats never sacrifice the important for the urgent.
One way or another your agenda will change…but it's up to you if you want to be a profitable change…or a lethal one."
"You dare threaten to kill me? I am death itself! What people fear most... What they try to ignore... That is what I am. "
"And I'm something even more pure than death or darkness "Empress", I'm the essence of power itself. All things may live to die, but what all things want in some shape or another is victory!
It's like this…I have a piece of paper. But I want this salt shaker on your table over there. You have the saltshaker, but you're willing to take my piece of paper for your salt shaker. Now, why would you do that? Because this isn't actually a piece of paper, it's a story.
And the story that you've heard over and over and over again. And it's been drummed into you that this is worth something, this is of value.
No matter what country, culture, or religion or universe, the whole multiverse loves power. The greatest story ever told, and that, is what I am the master of.
Terraxia saw the absolute confidence Sieg had before she let out a deranged giggle. "Whoever can make this clown's smirk vanish will be rewarded with their own prize planet. Its time to see how motivated my servants really are, eh Granny Goodness?"
A old but bulky woman in dark armor walked up before nodding."You heard your master yes? Love her! Serve great Terraxia! Wear your rings proudly where she leads. Die for her - and reward Granny and your master! Big Barda...make sure you and the other Furries keep the court motivated eh?"
Demigra saw his master was looking at him before he let out an anxious chuckle, then pointed his wand at Seig." You're clearly powerful if you walked into the front gates without a single cut. But that power won't help you if you have no time to use it! Time Shackle!"
In an instant a purple sphere appeared around Sieg, freezing the entire area of space's time. Terraix smirked before she licked her lips." Wound him…then I'll start to make him say what he really is."
"I'll put an end to his insolence my Empress." A woman with a golden mask uttered as she pointed her golden scythe at Sieg." Horsemen of the Apocalypse…bring death to the heretic trespasser."
"You heard lady Genesis!" A demon with a goatee uttered as he formed a lance in his hands." Have him awaken with his head on a pike! Janemba…behind me!"
The demon with the goatee slashed at Sieg from above and smirked, only for that smirk to become a frown in an instant as he saw his hand fall apart. He saw Sieg casually grasping him with a murderous look on his face." No matter the universe they always assume time is a trick up their sleeve…and it always fails them. Your even dumber then the last Dabura."
Dabura grunted in pain, before suddenly Tomura burst out of the blood and grasped Sieg. The man with hands attached to his body laughed madly, till he noticed that while everything around Sieg was decaying, his target was not.
As Tomura raised a eyebrow Sieg suddenly grasped him by the head and grasped his head tightly." Right to the point...I can respect that. Alas Tomura Shigaraki, your decay Quirk will never cause someone of my stature to erode. And your finding out the hard way I'm not nearly as short sited as Re-Destro."
A golden pillar erupted out to vaporize Tomura in moments. As Sieg waved his hand, dark mist consumed him. Yet the mist was instantly vaporized from the golden aura , and the man from another universe before he saw both Zeref and Asura looking shocked and snickered." Not a bad attempt, but Ankhseram Black Magic is far to light a touch to bring a Sixth dimensional life form to death, nor can the likes of a " Madness Wavelength" "of a " Kishin, " be enough to erode my mind Asura.
Be it death, decay, madness, nothing can erode the essence of victory! The blunt truth is that no matter how you try, no thing you do can overcome my superior power."
Terraix saw both Asura and Zeref look shocked and grit her teeth." Damn him! Blast him till he has no more tricks to hide behind!"
Demigra winced before hissing out," I'm not afraid of you! I'm a demon king!" The red haired man yelled out before he transformed into a large blue monstrous form resembling a demonic dragon. His hair grew down to his back, similar to Super Saiyan Three. He had also grown huge black horns on both his shoulders and head.
With an ear shattering roar he charged at Sige, only to get blown in half before he could even touch him from Sieg flexing his aura.
The head of the IV&C saw the shattered body fall and smirked." And I'm something far beyond any demon."
"And yet you will still fall if your ripped apart enough times!" Genesis cried out." Super Orchis 17…Gas…pin this heathen down and FIRE!"
The long black-haired man behind her roared before putting his hands together and hissing out," Electro Eclipse Bomb!"
Sieg saw the variation of Super Android 17, dubbed Orchis 17 that was Terraix 's horsemen of the Apocalypse form a sphere of deep black energy that had another gray sphere inside it that turned black in the center and had red electricity flowing around it.
He only snickered at the projectile being fired, till 17's comrade, a blue skinned warrior with purple hair in dreadlocks yelled out, and had his aura become shackles that tried to bind Sieg.
He saw this universe's variant of the ancestor of Frezia and Cooler, Lord Chilled, fired his Death Razor energy blast, in the other direction, saw Yomi unleash his Windstorm of Annihilation attack, and saw Janemba fire his green" Hell Gate" mouth blast in the other, and saw Hatchiyack unleash his Full Power Revenger Cannon as Sinister, and Lady Genesis, and a few more members of her court such as Granny Goodness and variations of Dark Oak of the Metarex,Kilokahn, Chrollo Lucilfer of the Spiders, Ivan Ooze, Naraku, Baron Mordo, Yhwach of the Quincies, Hela, Millennium Earl of the Noah Clan, Count Dooku, Lucifero of the Spade Kingdom, Xin Xhang the" Mandarin', Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, Atrocitus of the Red Lanterns, Count Dregon, Oroku Saki the Tengu Shredder, the Kovirian mage Vilgefortz, Mumm-Ra, Hendrickson of the " Holy knights", Saruman the White, Don Thousand, Skeletor, Pyron, Delphini Voldemort, Sailor Galactica, Quan Chi',Mizuki Rashojin, Marshall D. Teach of the Blackbeard pirates, and more members of the court all fired there own energy blasts before he smirked." Before I finish you, I'll let you lament your choices."
His aura erupted, causing the dozens of projectiles fired at him from all directions to just circle around him." You think you have me " Pinned" housemen? You just are proving how out of your depth you are.
This might be the judgment of the almighty to you, but to me this all amounts but to chump change, and such currency is soundly rejected. All your anger, your despair, your ambitions, your cruelty, and all other emotions from your darkness in the end to me its all just another thing for me to monetize as I see fit in the most profitable path for my bottom line.
Ominous Mugen Nebula."
Sieg's eyes glowed again before all the projectiles around him suddenly shrunk into the size of coins before he grasped them with ease. He saw his attackers look shocked at there ultimate attacks were turned to mere toys before Sieg grasped the shrunk attacks like a deck of cards and had eyes full of malice brew." Here's the cost of a failed transaction at my bank."
He casually had a golden shotgun form in his free hand, turned the shrunk energy blasts into bullets and sent the attacks back at their attackers as a shotgun blast being fired at the speed of light hitting them all in the chest in the blink of a eye.
They only had time to scream before explosions vaporized every cell of there bodies to neglect there zombie like regeneration.
Sieg casually flicked some smoke out of the way, before Moro suddenly burst out of the ground. The goat like demon had a manic look before screaming," Your energy is on par with god…and now it will be mine!"
"You think someone on your level can handle my?"
"Silence! How dare you presume to lecture me!? You think yourself a God? Know this, I do not fear divine power! I am Moro, Consumer of worlds! The God's creations are mine to devour! I AM THIS GALAXY'S SUPREME L, GUH!"
Moro was cut off as Seig grasped his would-be attacker by the throat. Moro's body writhed in pain as his attacker narrowed his eyes." The only correct answer is this universe's supreme blowhard. You really are supposed to be wise when you thought you could, oh?"
Sieg was caught off guard when he saw a shadow, and then saw a creature as size of the castle, this universe's variation of Cell Max, only red and black come crashing down on him.
The massive fist came down on him, only for Sieg to casually backhand the much larger fist, and shatter it while narrowing his eyes." You may be too dimwitted to realize it but you're the small fry here."
Cell Max howled in pain before he raised his right hand, and right hand and charge a moon sized green energy blast which was condensed into one of comparable size to him.
While the energy sphere had the gravitational pull as a black hole, as Cell Max smashed it into Sieg, he stopped it with a finger. Even as Moro got vaporized Sieg cracked his neck." I can understand you're not used to such levels of power but this will be the, oh? Not bad."
His change in tone was from seeing a planet falling on him.
As Sieg held it back, he realized it was not a planet, but this universe's variation of the planet eater robot, Unicron.
At the same time two other massive creatures descended form the sky. One was a asteroid sized being that had two human faces. It was a giant hideous monster that one face had five pair of legs and another had purple skin and grey armor.
Besides it was another giant robot as large as Unicron. Its body was a purple body with light gold highlights including shoulder padding. Despite being a mecha, the face had hair, a beard, and mustache. On the head was a pair of horns that are attached to a cockpit where a smaller body body was attached. The right arm was a hooked blade.
The upper face of the asteroid like monster hissed out," Oh, Dr. Hell, Mister Stringer, this seems like a most evolved guest eh?"
The second head licked its lips before uttering," I agree Mister Cohan, this invader's energy is more appealing then Getter rays! If we can devour it, we, er, and death itself can evolve even further!"
"Don't make the mistake Moro did." The giant robot with a mustache uttered." However, unique this man is, he's a invader, and as the Great Marshall of Hell I must kill the enemies of hell!"
Stinger and Cohan both had there eyes twitch before nodding.
Sieg chuckled as Unicron found itself unable to suck him into itself before the ruler of IV&C licked his lips." You doctors are obsessive in this universe to I see. Dr. Hell, Dr. Stinger, Dr. Cohan, in universe after universe you all are almost as obsessed with power as me, hence why versions of you in other universe's are worthwhile enough to serve me. But its the classic scientist VS business men mindset, you may grasp concepts better but in pure mastery of the art of power, warfare, and victory, your nothing but amateurs compared to me!
"Bah, turn to dust!"
Stinger hissed out before the asteroid sized potato shaped mutant fired a massive energy beam from its mouth. At the same time Dr. Hell hissed out," Its time for your penitence!" As they both fired beams at Sieg, Unicorn uttered," Your bargaining posture is highly dubious you, GUH!"
It only took Sieg a instant to shatter Unicorn, before two bullet shaped projectiles launched the incoming beams in the other directions, vaporizing the other attackers before they could even scream.
Sieg only swept the dust from Unicron off his tuxedo before he shrugged." For all your genius you would think that you could observe the situation better but, oh? Ah, I guess they did serve as a distraction well enough."
In the instant the smoke cleared, he saw Terraix above him, with the Infinity Emeralds all glowing as she looked enraged." I see what you are mutant! You may be a glitch, a cognitive manifestation of my feelings cast aside from my ascension to godhood…but Terraix is supreme!"
She fired a massive black and red energy blast that blasted Sieg through all the planets in the solar system. As he was blasted into the sun Terraix hissed out," Terraix…is god!"
She grasped her gauntlet, before the sun went supernova. She used the power of the Time Emerald to have it instantly become a Black Hole. As the resulting explosion ripped a hole in time and space she smirked." There might be a few glitches of life left but there is no one that can, GUH!"
She was caught off guard as a bullet zoomed past her throat. As she grasped her face Sieg boomed out," You may be a "god" but I'm something far greater."
Terraix winced as Sieg emerged from the crack in the universe, now in his transformed universe spanning state. As he towered over her his eyes narrowed." These games bore me…if you won't work for me…suffering as my slave will suffice.
I'd take a moment to see if any of your employees would want a better master…but you already killed everyone did you not?
Those rings on all your subjects hands…were akin to the Black Lantern Rings I seen…meaning everyone in the universe is already dead.
All left in this universe are undead akin of the Flood most commonly dealt with by the Forerunners, making you the "Gravemind eh?"
So this was some self-celebration before the final end? It is an impressive task…but one that leads to limited profitability. You have the chance to be something better…only if you're willing to kneel to your superior. and make the changes to have the mindset of a Sixth Dimensional life form."
Terraix snarled with rage as she started to grow to match Sieg's size as her face transformed into a skull and she seemed to merge with the very fabric of the universe." You think you can trick me from the truth with empty platitudes mutant? Why would I want to once more be pestered with the sin of life? I am the darkness before there was light. Existence generates diversity, which prompts disagreement, and that brings about bedlam."
Sieg snickered as he closed his eyes." It's true all entities seek some level of supremacy over their fellow beings…such is the plague of life. But…there is a superior way to rule…if you're willing to not be so narrow minded and see the truth."
"Truth? You think I trust an invading glitch on the truth? The concept of loyalty was convinced to deceive. Trust is a fantasy fools pray for and hustlers exploit.
I only got to where I am by knowing the truths I learned over centuries of struggle to come out on top in the power struggles of the New Gods. That's why to allow this mad game to continue is unforgivable cruelty.
Now that I reign supreme it is my duty to put an end to this insane exercise in universal masochism. There is no honor in striving for the unattainable.
Struggling for betterment is an exercise in futility one spends their time on white awaiting their inevitable end. The only true comfort awaits within the return to the void.
There is no peace to be found in life. It is a cruel and empty promise from life's champions! That's why I will fulfill my destiny to free my children from the great lie! So kneel or face suffering beyond what any can comprehend!"
Sieg merely had a gun from in his hand." Commands and ultimatums is it? Know this…threats have no meaning when delivered by the desperate remnants of what once was! The only all-powerful god who shall rule all is ME! Mukagen…Zeno Big Crunch Bullet!"
The ruler of the multiverse spanning corporation fired his supernova sized projectile, and Terraix snarled with fury as the Infinity Emeralds and her eyes all shined with light before a massive golden colored beam fired out of her eyes and collided with the blast.
The projectile lighted up the whole universe around them, and when the light cleared Terraix saw that space had become what seemed like many layers of multicolored broken glass before Sieg emerged and chuckled." Not bad…you used your mastery over time, space, and reality to alter the blast, and bleed the nearby pocket actuality into your damaged universe.
You're clearly trained with godhood to some extent, thought still not the level of a sixth dimensional being. You settled for mere omnipotence of a universe…failing to realize that it's better to be, then to control. "
Terraix looked at her own hands before uttering," Thanos said I would go mad, but I did not think it would be like this. After all…what is there past godhood?"
"Oh there is something more, something that gives an even greater joy. When you're what I am, linked to all there is, living or inanimate. My consciousness is on the verge of becoming infinite and eternal, my gaze extends beyond this actuality. I am the tree in a primordial jungle and the beast lumbering past it.
I am the flesh devoured and the teeth that rip it from a dying host. Looking out, I witness the dawn of creation, even as I gaze upon the inevitable end.
Every microbe and atom in the universe I share existence with, I climb the evolutionary ladder with all creatures that ever lived or will be. My consciousness extends from single-celled organisms to echelon predators and beyond.
Not even the most powerful entities can escape my intrusion into their being. It is a…disruptive feeling being able to peer upon my own birth as I view the universe's as a being of pan-dimensional existence. But this feeling is fleeting, because the Multiverse keeps changing.
However, with enough power, I can force that change to cease, and amass true control over all there is…every fragment of reality.
You are foolish to dismiss greed, greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. You think your superior for casting off your humanity but it makes you blind death and dumb to the joy of mastery.
Someone once said... ...that if mankind's endless want could be sated, inequality and conflict would come to an end. Or, to look at it another way... If you were to rob humanity of its desire, you would bring peace to the world. But who wants a world like that? And what is the peace people desire? Asking that is to ask... ...what humanity is.
And humanity is...conquest.
As Weil once said in one universe or another, it's the desire for power. The joy of making everything work for you. I'm far above any human, but I still have my human drive because you have no way of experiencing this without a human brain. It's the ultimate joy! No mere "God" that binds themselves to be a cosmic abstract of the universe could ever understand!
That ultimate joy, the absolute control over every single thing there is almost within my grasp.
But I need more power to do that, and your universe in its current state will be far less productive than one I can monetize to match my company's bottom line. You see...you grasp power, but true godhood escapes you.
After all, religions are, by definition, metaphors, after all: despite what they say, to most of them God is just a dream, a hope, a woman, an ironist, a father, a city, a house of many rooms, a watchmaker who left his prize chronometer in the desert, someone who loves you—even, perhaps, against all evidence, a celestial being whose only interest is to make sure your football team, army, business, or marriage thrives, prospers, and triumphs over all opposition.
Religions are places to stand and look and act, vantage points from which to view the universe. So, none of this is happening. Such things could not occur. Never a word of it is literally true.
Terraix...your entire universe merged with you, but did you bother to ponder what it meant to be god?
After seeing all these universe's and taking over one after another, it's clear that to most mortals beings to be" God" means you give up your mortal existence to become a meme: something that lives forever in people's minds, like the tune of a nursery rhyme.
It means that everyone gets to re-create you in their own minds. You barely have your own identity anymore. Instead, you're a thousand aspects of what people need you to be. And everyone wants something different from you. Nothing is fixed, nothing is stable.
You got to understand the god thing Terraix. It's not magic. It's about being you, but the you that people believe in. It's about being the concentrated, magnified, essence of you. It's about becoming thunder, or the power of a running horse, or wisdom. You take all the belief and become bigger, cooler, more than human.
You crystallize." He paused. "And then one day they forget about you, and they don't believe in you, and they don't sacrifice, and they don't care, and the next thing you know you're running a three-card monte game on the corner of Broadway and Forty-third.
Without those to worship you, no matter how powerful you are its a moot point when you rule over nothing. Even the One Above All divided himself to have some value to his omnipotence."
"I don't care if no one will be left to worship me! It will be worth it to have a never ending silence to the noise that is life!"
"Sigh...Terraix…you can do this the hard way or the easy way but you will help me see my agenda through. Your fate was decided the moment you gritted your teeth at me. Nothing more."
Terraix saw Sieg getting even bigger and formed more arms with gun hands before she had veins form in her forehead." No…there is no joy in life…all things live just to die…defying that destiny is foolish. I will not allow this to go on any longer. Even if your outside what I rule… I will pull everything into death's embrace!"
Sieg prepared to strike, when suddenly he found his movement restricted, and his vision limited. He then saw that Terraix used the full extent of the Gauntlet to turn the entire universe into a two-dimensional state. He snickered as he slowly raised his gun." That…is rather extremely creative…but this to is just a few minor."
In that instant Terraix caused the entire universe to become one dimensional, making everything in the universe just a line.
From this line, the wife of Thanos emerged on the top of it and regained her shape.
The moment she did, she became a sphere of pure black energy before she attempted to create a big bang." Yes…let everything return to the pure state it was! What people fear most... What they try to ignore... That is what I am! Eternity awaits to embrace every, RAHH!"
Before she could, the very fabric of space rippled before suddenly threads of raw purple energy burst out of the very holes in the universe, and impaled Terraix in all directions.
To her shock, the threads disrupted her power as the universe reverted to a normal state.
As she saw Sieg glare at her from above a new female voice uttered," Not bad, if I did not drag this Cancerverse into the Schatten Bereich of the Negaverse, it could have gotten messy.
Alas your finding out the hard way that my mastery of omnipotency is a tad more...advanced. I understand your despair, it's the same I felt sister. The problem is…you're thinking too small. Your way…won't be enough to end this farce God forced on us."
She saw Mary casually walk out of the hole in reality, having the chain like threads disrupting Terraix come out of her hand as she looked at the woman fused with her very universe and smirked." You think destroying all life in your universe will end everything, but it will just be another part of the "script".
When one universe dies, another is born. As Seig said…the power to destroy an entire universe is just a drop in the bucket in the "sea of infinite realities."
To control the Multiverse…and truly bring an end to everything God created, much more power is needed. Do you want to truly make God pay Terraix…or just die being broken by his game?"
Terraix saw Mary's absolute confidence before she snarled with rage." No…this is just a trick to undermine me! I am everything!"
The ruler of the cancerverse yelled so hard that cracks in the very fabric of time and space started to form around her as she got more and more monstrous as the gauntlet formed into a scythe and she screamed out," YAMI ARMAGEDDON S…GUH!"
Before she could attempt her universe ending attack, more massive threads burst out of the cracks in the reality and impaled Terraix enough to hit her with enough force that it shattered the Infinity Emeralds.
Mary closed her eyes before uttering," It seems you're too blind with rage to come to your senses. I can relate…I was just like you at one point, mad with rage at god making me be my universe's chosen of the Antitype Apostle bloodline. But I forced myself to evolve…and for the sake of my vengeance you will assist me…by becoming part of my chorus sister."
Mary's eyes glowed…before her aura surged with enough force to shake the entire fractured dimension. She once more transformed to her monstrous Abeloth form.
But she kept growing till she was as big as Sieg and Terraix, and towered over her" counterpart" by looking like a chuck of the universe had a mouth with tentacles coming out of her mouth and demonic wings out of her back.
Terraix was constrained further as she saw the threads around her were becoming a web, and she saw the sheer hatred roiling off the Eldritch woman from the IV&C as she stared in to her eyes, they were huge and now split into many like spider eyes.
They seemed dark and bottomless, with no light except a pair of tiny silver points that seemed to be receding even as Terraix looked into them, to be drawing her down into a cold and soulless void from which there could be no escape.
Even though she was a woman that killed her husband and murdered every living soul in her universe, Terraix could not help but wince as she muttered," What…what are you? What could you, GUH!"
Abeloth impaled Terraix through the chest with her tail, a tail that now as large as a galaxy. More spike that seemed to be other universes she was fused with came at Terraix from all sides.
As Terraix screamed in pain her attacker giggled darkly."Even being the master of your universe still makes you part of God's script sister, but I been outside it. And you know what I seen? To me, after seeing his Multiverse from the outside...it looks like a "1." It's all zeros and ones. That's just what it is. There used to be more zeros. That balance would create twos and threes, a beautiful mixture of discord and harmony. But now, my worldview consists of only ones.
You want to return everything to nothing, but that would be pointless. A butterfly can't turn back into a caterpillar. I want to realize true freedom. All of us would at last be free. From old age, hunger, and disease. From power, status, standing, appearance, location, and even time, free from the shackles god puts on us.
To bring that about might cause the entire Multiverse to collapse...but I'll just pick up the pieces and repeat the process. Over and over, as many times as it takes until I've found my answer. To get that answer...I've made myself the end singer of this entire decayed order. But…since we are about to be bound…why waste any more words when I can just show you my thoughts?"
Terraix saw images of Abeloth's desire flash across her mind before her eyes widened." It…its beautiful. Such an absolute…AHH!"
In moments Abeloth completely absorbed her counterpart, looking like a Multiversal being was devouring the sole universe before it.
Sieg saw the entire universe around him get more unstable before he chuckled." It would seem even one who "became" death has to learn the hard way that death is not found behind mountains but right behind our shoulders, and death answers before it is asked. Still Terraix, as a reward for indulging me somewhat, I'll add you to my trophy collection.
So now Marry…is she how you wished God let you be in Hydaelyn if the ritual had gone as you wished? A existence where everything's destiny was to be your play thing?"
Abeloth licked her lips before she snickered." Of course not. One way or another God would meddle…that's why I'll never be content till I break the "wheel" of the Quarry of Creation forever.
Well…she was even more unstable than the reports indicated…though you killing her servant because he had your face did seem to set her off."
Sieg reverted to his human form and shrugged." I suppose seeing inferior brands back to back can be exasperating even for the likes of me."
"Are you sure it's not because you have doubts that you killed Ben Auro?"
"I'm not about to be like the belated empress and let my thoughts get in my head. Besides…he nor his ship clearly was not hiding here, the odds of any members of the alliance being in a universe entirely composed of the undead Flood were rather…unlikely."
Abeloth closed her eyes before she sighed." Don't get overconfident. I'm accessing Terraix 's memories…at some point a thousand years ago in the Anti-Matter universe Boston Brand the "Deadman" was seen in there hell talking to souls along side the Spider man profiled as " Spider-Punk under Hobart Brown from Earth-138, a " Team Dai-Gurren", and the Witcher Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon or Ciri.
And the reports at the time indicated they thought it was an anomaly with some souls passing over, but it could have been a member of the Rebel Alliance trying to gain information, or even have a temporary base.
He has been seen as one of their members so…its possible. Furthermore the structure he" popped out of" matches the Gallifrey style TARDIS."
Sieg took this info and snickered before tiding up his tuxedo." Those Timelords do love bumbling around eh?"
" It seems that the TARDIS was also " enhanced" by the Rick Sanchez we know is with the alliance. With how poorly Sanchez and the Doctor work with others they truly loath us to work together."
"Heh, they really are getting resourceful these days eh? All these layered steps just to evade liquidation a few more days…how pathetic. Losers always loath winners, and when your the ultimate winner...losers from all over unite to try and take what's yours from them, and run together to try and help each other avoid there fate.
But soon there will be no place, no time to run. Even an infinite amount of targets can be overcome with enough time…and resources."
Sieg waved his hand before a chart of all the universe's the Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation had control over in the image of a massive red web. While the chart had to keep condensing to all be in the size of his normal sized face, he saw his logo all over the web and his grin widened." Despite a few "curve-balls" the campaign is meeting expectations.
Since I doubt Gingrich will have much trouble bringing Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew, and the rest of Earth-C under control…and that Carmen is already having the Kingdom of Clow, the Randlands, the Forgotten Realms around Baldur's Gate, and the Neutrinos under her thumb, the projections to having enough energy to unleash the Song of Nephilim across the Multiverse will be on target."
Mary paused before she shrugged." Then I suppose after we massacre Sergeant Malcolm Reynolds and the Firefly crew, Hachimaru, John Shaft, Eureka Thurston and her faction of "the Secrets", Kamen Rider Zi-O, Marvelous Man, the Betterman, the Campaigner, Haruko Haruhara,the Starborn, the" Traveler" of the Lubraeans , Demonbane, Dominic "Dom" Toretto, Lu Bu, Artemis Fowl, Karas, the faction of the Anti-Spirals commanded by Lordgenome, and that universe solely populated by Teletubbies and the rest of the universe's on the list, we return to the Prime Universe to start syncing all the intoners?
I got the last report from Drakkon, Richard, Banner, and Wayne on the evaluation of the Prime Universe.
The assessment is going smoothly. Black Noir and a few others look like they can be worthwhile employees if nothing else.
The current heads of power there still don't quite grasp what is going on, only that the Vought clan has suddenly amassed more power and they are all scrambling to figure out how to survive, and only must prod a few possible worthy recruits to keep things on track."
Sieg paused before he shrugged." Well…we will see who's worthy enough to be part of the winning team soon enough. But what I really care about is if they found any rebels."
"There is some leads…they are just seeing the best conditions to lead to the High Command."
Sieg grasped his fist tightly before he nodded." Good…the faster we root out these fools…the end of any illusion that any is my peer will be snuffed out. No matter how fast or furiously this group of rebels run, fate will catch them sooner or later. Now…speaking of productivity, it seems that Terraix had sabotaged this universe's profitability rather deeply with her insanity. Care to reverse it Mary?"
His "partner in crime" sighed before she looked below her." I suppose as you said…undead workers rarely are very productive."
Mary had her eyes glow, before she formed a sphere of light and had it go below her. The light spread out, before reaching out across the entire universe. After a few seconds she sighed." It's done…within seconds the majority of those across the universe will come back to life and realize they are no longer under Terraix's control."
Seig smirked before he snapped his fingers. The Totality fired a gold tower that became the center of the resorted universe as energy started to swarm around it.
A man casually walked out of the golden tower, he had golden eyes, his skin is pale, almost albino white, and he had bright purple-pink hair. He also wore a top hat that had a logo of IV&C on it, and a suit, plus a cane, making him look like a fantasy-type of entrepreneur almost like a demonic Willy Wonka. The ornament on his cane seems to be a depiction of the legendary King Midas.
The moment he walked out he bowed to Sieg. " Congrats Mr V-Day, everyone in the " Cancerverse" is now linked to the IV&C Financial District and are already Entres in waiting. They were given the contract the moment they were revived and while some may not even understand what a contract is, no one said life was fair eh?"
"Well done Masakaki. Then it's time we prepare a proper introduction. After all…they will be so "grateful "to those who liberated them that most will be all too eager to work for that savior, and not even care about things such as a "fair contract" or that because of the state of things most will only be allowed the span of a bed for there personal space, nor realize that my company network will now monitor every aspect of there lives, and deaths, to amass total user data on the entire universe.
All they will need is the "love of their work."
Let are company policy be known quickly. Yes...let it be known quickly…that a man can have anything, if he is willing to sacrifice. With your birth under my guidance comes a solemn vow: you have the natrual right to nothing. Your privilege… is the dirt. In the darkness, only ambition will guide you.
The oaths you swear, the promises you make, they are yours… alone. Your freedom will be the wars you wage. Your birthright: the losses you suffer. Your entitlement: the pain you endure. And when darkness finds you, you will face it… alone."
Mary snickered as she looked up." Those too weak to save themselves deserve domination…but a false salvation is a fitting punishment for such inferior beings. They can cling on to their delusional fantasy…till there last moment."
Sigh casually flipped a coin in the air before he smirked." At least they will be productive till the end to me with the corporate ideology drilled into them.
The likes of Terraix who just want" nothing" always fail to realize the joy of control.
Its still not old seeing " Liberated" universes thank you for saving them form themselves. Then when most realize my company is so effective that only the truley special are needed does the dread begin.
Yes...such a massive amount of people being desperate for jobs it means the corporation doesn't have to work nearly as hard to keep employees no matter how scummy they are to them, there will always be replacements.
Just think about it, garnish their wages, strip them of their benefits, coarse them into shady situations and they'll do it because the consequence is losing this job they desperately need to survive.
It's a wonderful thing, desperate cornered people utterly powerless to stand up against you as you wring every single drop of productivity and labor you can get out of them before they break, then you can quickly fill their spot with another desperate human in seconds. Effectively creating an endless farm of people to keep your business running.
And yet even after all of this...they still will worship me for the god I am because it still gives them the glory of being near a real winner. Because of us, and the failures of the likes of Auro and so many hero's like him, the paradigms are shifting across the multiverse.
The old order, a multiverse of infinite vastness and illimitable resources and future, was being confronted by something else—the Negaverse that is the web of energy, of opinions, of gulfs, of hatred. People believe, it's what people do. They believe.
And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; nor their hatred, they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen.
And we will make everyone in the multiverse realize that there is nothing worth believing in over winning, and since I'm the essence of victory, then it will cement me as the center of all things, above all other possibilities…and then destiny will at last be realized.
The "Last "rebels can try and defy that destiny, but they all failed to truly change the fate of life itself, and soon all will embrace that the winners rule, not the hero's.
So let the last of them make their pathetic last stand, it will just make it all the more enjoyable when I crush them one by one and unleash a legacy so brutal that only the most brainless simpletons would dare ever put on a cape or a badge or anything that has to do with something as worthlessly unprofitable as justice.
After all…I'm showing the entire multiverse between hero's and "Real rulers" who in fact has a life where they profit off of.
Hero's and their virtues just lead to clowns letting crooks get away again and again till they get killed…or " Crusaders" that may win the battle, but win the war when there virtues just get everyone strung along till things collapse till the " True" wise men, like me, have to pick up the pieces.
To the fool who keeps helping those who try to kill him, and loses his family and everything he cares for as a result of his " Great responsibility," To the clown that wants to go back in time to save every person, but ends up causing everyone to suffer as a result, to the" heroic rebels" That try and make everyone get along in peace, only for them to not be prepared for the next war and lose everything as a result, as one of my employs said to be blunt, evil will always triumph because " Good" is dumb.
Soon…the entire multiverse will see that they don't need clownish heroes, they need a firebreather.
A ruthless strongman who will do whatever it takes to make sure things prosper. I'll take every last rebel in this alliance, and I'm going to grind there god damn bones to make the bread to my victory feast.
And when I'm done, I'll make sure everyone's too busy to every have time to waste on stories like "heroism" or "Justice" for the weak. It's clear having free time just leads to unproductive thoughts…that's why there will be no time for any but the elite to have enough leisure time to even read or watch any tales about hero's, or have time for love or friendship, or even think outside of work.
Stories are like spiders, with all they long legs, and stories are like spiderwebs, which man gets himself all tangled up in but which look so pretty when you see them under a leaf in the morning dew, and in the elegant way that they connect to one another, each to each.
For as much impact as a bullet or blade can last, stories are ever stronger, for stories remain. They last. The right story can turn an emperor into a laughingstock, can bring down dynasties. A story can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. That's the power of stories.
For a while, only the winners had the right to tell stories, but somewhere because of delusions the weak told there own stories, and hustled the winners into thinking they were real.
When all the stories and the songs were tigers or other apex predators then that was a bad time for the losers. People take on the shapes of the songs and the stories that surround them, especially if they don't have their own song. And in Tiger times all the songs were dark. They began in tears, and they'd end in blood, and they were the only stories that the people of the universe knew.
But I'll purge all the fantasies the weak have across the entire multiverse to end the facade once and for all.
I'll give them the freedom of false ambition, and give them a life where all they will ever have time for is the joy of being a good worker, and the despair of being a loser failure. Then at last…they will have the joy they deserve."
Mary giggled before she shrugged." Passion is what makes everything happen Sieg…and are passion will consume all existence, even God. For now…since we are about a tad ahead of schedule, care to share some of that passion with me? Terraix 's universe of death reeks with a bad taste."
Sieg saw Mary thrust her chest out before he grasped her face softly." Why not? Sounds like a more delightful way to regroup before heading to the next universe. I'm always in a rush after genocide…try not to fall to far behind."
"I was going to tell you to not finish to fast…I want a fun time." Mary cooed as she licked Sieg's lips. "After all…I tolerate this partnership because your one of the few that has enough passion to make me feel something. So, make me feel something once more."
"Oh I'll make this entire universe feel something as I leave you shaken, not stirred."
"Good…those that survive will see what it means to" truly" Have there world rocked."
They casually started to make out even as the Totality and the pyramid like megaships of the IC&V flew into the converted universe, unleashing enough power to cause the entire dimension to rumble.
As they did, before the more exotic part of that exchange unfolded we turn back our views to those that are still trying to live by the ethics of a hero, even if it's being pushed to the breaking point, along with the rest of the universe.
While the invasion force commanded by Thragg was not quite as dire a threat as Sieg, the sight of a swarm of savage Viltrumite 's, each with the power to level the planet on their own caused the majority of people in Corneria, the Lylat System, and the rest of the Bethel Kingdom to panic.
The person officially in charge, Bria, was among them.
Her security surrounded her but that did little to cause her to shriek as she saw Thragg look at her and the entire planet with raw hate. Ringo grasped her tightly before uttering," Don't panic your majesty, things are going to get worse before it gets better but they are not going to win!"
"How?" Bria uttered as she wiped tears out of her eyes." Those guys are like walking titans! Maybe some of you could fight one or two of them but with all of them here no one's strong enough to stop all of them! This was all a bad joke this whole, AH!"
Bria thought the barrier had fallen, till she saw a flash of lighting, and saw it came from Ezan. The sliver haired warrior looked solemnly at Bria before he walked up." The only bad joke is Thragg thinking it would be this easy.
I assure you Bria…we are not at their mercy, because all of them together is not enough to stop me. I never stopped training all this time…and after what I have gone through to prepare to stop Sieg, a Viltrumite, Omni-Man and Thragg included are just a warmup for me."
"They why don't you take them all out now?"
Ezan sighed as he looked at Mike." Because doing it publicly would reveal my survival to Sieg…and then we would be in a situation that would make this look like nothing. But don't panic, I do have a plan. We just have to be smart about this. Burns…Primal… Stedman…is all the equipment around the Crystal Fissure working properly?"
Cecil and Primal looked at each other before the leader of the Maximal commandos nodded." Rhinox said the Sentinel defense network had everything clear just a while back. Why?"
Ezan took a deep breath before he looked around." I have a plan, it's not without risk but it's the best way to minimize damage. Lower the shield around the area around the Fissure, and spread chatter that the anti Viltrumite weapon is about to be deployed from there."
As everyone looked around Rhinox rubbed his head." What…what weapon are we talking about?"
Rattrap chuckled bitterly before he walked back." I know I bragged to Depth Charge that I can blow one of those mustached bozo's away but um…don't have enough Energon for that unless we,"
"The secret weapon is me." Ezan cut in bluntly." They will swarm in, and in a secure location I will neutralize the threat Thragg poses."
Ezan saw everyone looking at him before he shrugged." You can say I'm making up for lost time."
Astra spat on the ground before she rolled her eyes." Piff…trying to show off eh? Eh…seeing those assholes freak the hell out is worth it if you can pull it off."
Bria saw the absolute confidence in the former Enji's eyes before she wiped tears out of her eyes." You…this is not you being crazy from how hard Sieg hit you right?"
Mike chuckled before giving a thumbs up." C'mon Bria, Ezan's my old man's rival for a reason yah know? With the beat-down he gave out when we caught up I can promise this is not a bluff!"
Bria saw Shinryudramon snarling in the distance before she gulped." But…even if you are strong enough to beat Thragg…even you can't be everywhere at once and they want to attack everywhere!"
"I'm aware…but it's still are best option." Ezan retorted." If I can neutralize Thragg…the moral of the rest of the Viltrumite's will shatter. Still, I concede I can't protect everyone on my own…but I would hope this entire planet's army is not just for show at this point so anyone that is not part of Thragg's group depends on you to take down."
Mark nodded before he took a deep breath." I know my dad's going to want to come for me, and if me being a target makes someone else safer than bring it. I'm tired of flinching at his shadow, and its sure as hell not going to go down like last time back at the Restaurant at the end of the Universe!"
Eve grasped her boyfriend's hand tightly before she nodded." You're not alone Mark, I'm not letting your father act like you're his property!"
Astra snickered before she gave a thumbs up." Oh, I want a piece of the action on this one dude…I'm sure not afraid of some roid raging mustache loving jackasses!"
Ezan saw the blond woman's zeal before he took a deep breath." I won't deny that your current power level trump's the majority of the Viltrumite attackers but just remember, even if it's not your planet billions of lives are on the line so don't get careless."
"C'mon dude I'm a professional damn it."
X grasped his hand tightly before he looked at the rest of those who fought with Ezan since the Cosmic War." We all have kept around this long because despite everything, we want to keep people safe. We will do are duty till the last moment."
Ezan saw Kratos, Golbez, Kunzite, Vincent, and all his comrades looking full of grim resolve before he nodded." Well then stick to the plan, and this won't be anyone here's last. Its time…get ready everyone. May the force of light be with you all."
The sliver haired warrior put his eye contacts back on to resume posing as Yozora before lightning crackled around him, and he burst to the Crystal Fissure. Mike took a deep breath before he looked up." Well…guess this is the test run for the "big one." So…no time to choke."
He glanced at his sister-in-law before he looked as confident as he could." Don't worry Bria…I may have tried to do my own thing, but keeping are home, and everyone in it safe was never a con. So just keep everyone safe while we get this done."
Before he could go on he saw the portal to the Multiverse to the right flicker before Masaki cut in vie the com link with a uneasy," So um…what's the plan guys? You want us to help out or go to the Multiverse or something?"
Die-Hardman winced before he sighed." As long as the portal can be reopened…please just wait. The last thing we need is for a Viltrumite to suddenly dive into another universe or something.
Sounds like if one just goes off in his own and the IV&C would find him or her that would sink are entire plan. I know it's a frustration decision but I would ask if you all stay inside the ship just in case anyone sees machines from another universe and asks questions."
"Ugh…kind of want to get a piece of the action but…makes sense."
Mike gave a thumbs up at the ship from the other universe before he flashed a half-lopped smile." Hang tight guys…just beat back the wild herd and get back to this real damn soon!"
Everyone prepared to try and move out to best ensure the invaders were repelled before Makima grasped Bria." My Queen…we must get to the shelter before the fighting starts. Don't worry, your family has already gone under the bunker in the senate hall. Megumi right? Make sure we don't fail to see anyone coming!"
A Bethel agent working with the Enji, a tall, slim young man with fair skin and green eyes that had uniquely styled black hair with long spikes that jut out in every direction around his head, resembling a sea-urchin, and wearing a dark blue jacket over a long-sleeved white dress shirt and uniform pants that matched his jacket and only reach to just above his shins ran over and saluted. "Right!" The Bethal mage cried out." Give us more eyes out there Nue!"
He made a gesture and caused a large Owl-like creature with orange feathers and a white mask-like face. It has large wings, two sets of talons and human-like teeth to form out of a magical pentagram.
Bria winced before she saw the Shikigami summon beast roar and take to the sky and tried to keep herself from falling into tears." Is the fear ever going to end Makima?"
The woman in the Public Safety uniform paused before she flicked her hair out of her eyes." I don't have the wisdom of God my lady. Either we can succeed in fighting off all the threats to us, possibly with help from armies from other universe's, or we are dominated."
Bria winced at the blunt respond before she looked at her ring and grasped it tightly." As long as there's an ending where we live, best to hold on to it over a never-ending struggle. If there is any faith left to have for the Bethel Kingdom, you guys better deliver!"
The queen quickly followed her staff to the shelter, and while Thragg and the attackers did not see her precisely, he saw the entire planet was scrambling before he gave a primal roar." No matter how they scurry, they can't hide from us any more men! Keep pounding…no barrier can withstand are united fury for long!"
Kregg scanned the area with his bionic eye before he intercepted a few transmissions and raised an eyebrow." Lord Thragg…I have an update! They are preparing some sort of counterattack that they hope to neutralize us with some weapon they have worked on made just for an Viltrumite! It must be what that traitor Thaedus worked on with them! It's around sector G of the barrier, and that part of the barrier is weaker because of the weapon!"
Thragg paused before he smirked." They thought some laser or missile would be their salvation? Do they dare try and recreate the Scourge Virus? No matter…they thought they had enough time but time this planet sees that's the last mistake their current leaders will make! On my mark men!"
The leader of the Viltrumite tribe casually backhanded the Omega Charged particle blast that the Bethel warship Astoria fired into the USS Intrepid to shatter that ship before he flew up, circled around, and then dive bombed the weaker part of the shield.
As he did a pack of Viltrumite soldiers did the same around them, before there combined force like was a dozen objects the size of the meteor Sephiroth tried to destroy planet Cetra at once.
The impact shattered the shield, and Thragg descended into the planet like a speeding bullet. As soon as he landed he saw Kregg point at the crystal fissure and nod, and prepared to take off till he saw a laser go past him, and saw Omega Supreme towering over them the giant Autobot declared," This is your last chance for surrender maverick.
I am the guardian of the gates... the junction of your destruction... the laser lighting the way to your doom... the planner of your obsolescence... the furnace that fires your demise... I am the number you cannot compute, Omega Supreme."
Thragg sneered as a barrage of lasers and missiles descended on him before he uttered," No matter how many giant toys and pets you have fight for you it will never be enough to topple the true master race!"
Ringo saw the barrage get repelled before she let a dire grin sprout across her face." Let's see about that! Got to make them think this is legit after all. Alright big guy time to honor your former masters today! Come out…Exodia the Forbidden one!"
The green haired woman had the COMP, also known as an Arm Terminal on her arm glow before she slammed the ground.
A magical pentagram appeared in front of her before a giant monster, the creature once bound to the Lylat King's long time aide Shimon and the Millennium Key. Exodia roared before Ringo turned serious." Alright Exodia…obliterate the party crashers!"
Thragg saw Exodia amass golden energy in its hands and snickered before he caught both of the incoming attacks from Exodia and Omega Supreme at once before he spat out," Don't make me laugh!"
As he bashed both attacks into the other giants Ringo winced." Figue… Nemissa…everyone I'm going to need that cover fire pronto!"
Her purple haired sister nodded from the other direction before the other blue haired devil summoner ran up in the other direction and smirked." Oh I sure as hell am not missing out on this! Time to have these mustache eyesores to see how big a mistake they made! Time to party, Satanael!"
The blue haired woman summoned the giant devil like Persona that use to belong to Joker, leader of the Phantom Thief group of persona users.
At the same time Figue sighed before she closed her eyes." Please…help us protect this city…Alexander!"
The purple haired woman had the giant holy castle like summon beast arise behind her before Primal flew by and gave a roar." It's now or never…Fortress Maximus…omega protocol activated!"
Thragg saw another giant blue auto bot hover down sneered." I'm going to enjoy shattering the capital city with the very toys you thought could protect them!"
Seizo then summoned the Persona Orpheus Telos once belonging to SEE's member, Makoto Yuki, as Arrow summoned Izanagi-no-Okami, the Persona once belonging to Yu Narukami, and Milady summoning the Artemis Persona once belonging to Maya Amano before he flew up, only to see the Snow White Prelude Gundam fly directly above him before Heero instantly aimed his mobile suit's Buster Rifle at the leader of the Viltrumite clan and declared," Target: Grand Regent Thragg, leader of the Viltrumite clan. Zero…guide me to victory!"
Thragg saw the multi winged Gundam unleash the Neue Zwerg Buster Rifle barrage, just as all the other defense units around him opened fire. While Thragg had various energy beams and projectiles coming at him from all sides, his eye twitched." YOU DARE MOCK ME!?"
Thragg stretched his arms out horizontally, clenched his fists, and spun on axis with enough force to knock all the projectiles into the air.
The 00 Qan used its trans-am burst to grasp the Snow-White Prelude and have them both dematerialize to avoid being blasted away.
The leader of the Viltrumite clan saw the redirected energy blasts go through the hole in the shield and vaporize another Bethel warship before he sneered." You cowards rely on your toys because you're so afraid of real combat, but that just shows how weak you all are! It's a mockery to the very universe for such fools to even think they are allow to be on the top of the food chain! I, huh?"
He saw a glimmer of light and casually caught the 00 Qan's Trans am GN Sword V before the Gundam pilot held his ground and muttered," Even the most hated opponents can open a dialogue, as long as someone opens the door! Quantum Burst!"
The member of the former Celestial Being unit flooded the area with High density GN particles. But while the consciousness of individuals within the affected area, when Setsuna tried to link to the Viltrumite warriors below him he just heard primal screams of hate and lust.
As he realized all they wanted was to make everyone around them kneel and take what they wanted the man merged with the ESL grit his teeth." Damn it…is this entire race really all craving violence as much as Ali al-Saachez and consumed with ego as Ribbons was?"
Thragg cracked his neck before uttering," There is no "misunderstanding" mutant. We know we are the natural rulers of the universe, and are rage won't be sated till things are as they should be! Because you all made a mockery of your superiors, it's all just going to be worst for you."
The mustached villain casually shattered the energy saber and prepared to attack till a grim older voice uttered," The ones delusional about the "natural order" is you and everyone you conned Thragg! One way or another…if you don't stop this now you will bring are race to ruin!"
Thragg turned around to see that the one who taunted him was Thaedus, and was angry enough to have veins form on his forehead before he snarled out," By the throne of Argall…you have some spine at the very end eh Thaedus?
You gave the Bethel Kingdom are every weakness and served us up to your " Last Emperor" on a platter but it's still not going to work! You brought this upon us all. It's you who set this in motion when you thought you could defy your superiors and not pay the cost for this betrayer!"
"I did what I had to so that our race would not go down as savages worst then demons Thragg! The devil himself was overthrown."
"And that just means we are stronger then the "devil!" Your lack of faith in your own kin is disgusting Thaedus…you will die again and again for thinking running to " society" with a few weaknesses would be enough to stop us!"
"Only because you're too arrogant to see the biggest weakness of all Thragg. I take no pleasure seeing my own kin fall. But if some must fall so that are entire society is not doomed…then it's a cost I'm ready to make."
"You act like this is a choice? DIE!"
Thaedus dashed backwards into the cavern behind him, and Thragg saw the light behind him before he snickered." So you think you have some ace up your sleeve? Nonsense…no gun…no "Mecha" will ever be more powerful than me!"
Thragg and his entire group dismissed those around them still attacking them and just plowed into the tunnel. Primal saw them go through before he sighed." They took the bait…best of luck Ezan."
The Viltrumite's saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and only took a few moments to cover the gap. When they emerged from the light, they saw that they were suddenly in a wide area that remained a constant bright iridescent white aurora.
Its reflective floor was of undefined area, and it looked like it was a dome like shape. While not aware of it they were in the same Dome like structure Ezan used when he fought Astra earlier.
Thragg looked around and saw that Thaedus was gone, before he had his eye twitch." Is this it? There final resort is some sort of warp, GUH!"
The leader of the Viltrumite clan felt a gust of wind, but before he could turn around a impact like a sonic boom smashed him to the ground. As he rebound and realized his head was bleeding a cold voice retorted with," Oh there's a weapon here…just not the one you thought of Thragg."
Thragg widened his eyes, before he looked up and saw Ezan casually above him with a look so cold that even some of the battle hardened warriors around him flinched.
The other Viltrumite 's all looked shocked before Lucan spotted Ezan and burst out laughing." That's it? One more clown? It's not the Last Emperor or his god wife so its nothing!"
General Kregg eyed Ezan, before he broke into a cold sweat." You idiot…did you not read any of the reports! That…that's no random warrior! Its Ezan Zeon…the legendary former Enji super ace! But…he was supposed to be dead! Is…is this a clone? Did they in desperation make a Sleeve copy of him? It, GUH!"
Ezan had his purple energy burst out with enough force to make many of the Viltrumite warriors around him stagger before his Rinne-Sharingan eyes glared at them all." All you need to know is that I'm the bane of you scum's existence. You looked like you were having " Fun" outside. Well don't let me put a damper on your " fun" . Tsc, you dare think you can call yourself "elite warriors"?
Then have a round with the real deal and see how far you are from reality. You're nothing but thugs who think because you're sightly stronger than others that your elite warriors. But…time to set the record straight."
Thragg saw Ezan get into his fighting stance before his eye twitched." Those eyes…the eyes of the Uchiha! No but…why? Why if you were alive all this time did you just show up now? Damn you...whatever your planning trapping yourself with us is the last mistake you will ever make."
"Because I had more important things to do." Ezan answered bluntly." But because you dared try and break the home of my comrades…you moved yourselves up on the list. I have no time for games, and because you showed how little you think of mercy I'll return the favor. And your mistaken...I'm not trapped with you...your all trapped with me! Divine Joutei!"
Nearly all of the Viltrumite warriors could feel the sheer power Ezan was unleashing before his aura was like a miniature star. When Thragg could see again he saw Ezan was clad in armor of light and darkness before his eye twitched." No…combining light and darkness together is something only the real Ezan could do. Wait…does this mean Auro is still alive to?"
"It won't matter…this will be finished before you have the time to find out."
Lucan had his eye twitch before he yelled with primal rage." You think your light shows scare me pretty boy? You're a relic of the past…we are the future! I heard about your legend, but today I'm here to give your life glory, a glorious ending being killed by a superior warrior!"
The black skinned Viltrumite roared and charged at Ezan, but after one step he was caught short, as his target cried out," Gatotsu Zero Shiki!"
And faster then anyone could blink Ezan brought both arms backward and then thrust the red katana into his Lucan's throat before he could blink. As Lucan coughed up blood Ezan glared at him." Not even close. Onyx Chidori Burst!"
Black Lighting crackled out of the sword right into Lucan. The Viltrumite grunted in pain before he had a crazed look in his eyes and raised his fist." This is the judgment of a super elite? That just will tickle me…while I rip those eyes out!"
"Does this tickle? Chidori Rupture!"
Ezan had the lighting around his blade turn purple before he slammed it into Lucan's head. The lighting then went inside the Viltrumite male's ears, and he screamed in pain before he suddenly had a blank look in his eyes, and collapsed.
Thragg winced as he stepped back." He…he killed him?"
Kregg quickly scanned his motionless comrade with his bionic eye before his normal eye widened." The data indicated…that Ezan shattered all of the electricity from Lucan's brain, effectively shutting down his brain activity in an instant. He…he's not dead yet. But…the reports never said he had that kind of attack!"
"Then it's your fault for assuming I stopped training and improving." Ezan answered bluntly as he looked at the others. "I had my fair share of stubborn brutes who rely on strength, and honed a way to neutralize them quicker. So then…are your egos so overinflated that you still are unable to accept reality or do I have to drive in how inferior you all are as fighters?"
Thragg saw many in his group give each other anxious looks before he grasped his fist tightly." If one trick from this relic scares you then I'll kill you myself! He's still just one against legion! Swarm him and he won't have time for his fancy spells. And after he's pinned…if we punch him enough, he will break!"
Kregg took a deep breath before he nodded." Yes…that…that's the logical conclusion to things. You may be a legendary warrior Ezan Zeon but there is still just one of you! Your race is gone…while our era is just getting started! Beecher, Henke,blitz him so he has no room to move!"
Kregg and the other Viltrumite's with him all attacked Ezan from all sides. But to their shock, their blows just seem to phase through his body. Ezan saw their shock and shrugged." If you can't grasp victory you will never get to that mythic era."
Thragg had his eye twitch before snarling out," Your all disgracing are clan! You can't catch a relic like him?"
Kregg eyed the armored man in front of him before he winced." His…his feet did not move an inch! I heard about him. The data did say he managed to learn type of Sharingan magic that made his body intangible!"
Ezan saw his opponent's shock before he shrugged." That's the problem when you rely entirely on brute force eh? Once your ace in the hole turns out flat…its over."
Thragg had veins form before he seethed out," You will pay for making a mockery of us Ezan Zeon! Your ace in the hold is just a cheap light trick and hiding away? Then there is nothing to stop us from killing your precious planet! "
Thragg turned around back for the entrance, only for a pillar of black fire to erupt in front of him. As the fire covered them Ezan narrowed his eyes." Oh…I can think of more than a few reasons."
The leader of the Viltrumite clan burst at Ezan and tried to shatter him, with the punch shaking the entire planet. Kregg came for him next, only for Ezan to casually smash him in the back of his head.
As the others attacked him all at once Ezan just sighed." Kira…you said that you were not going to play games…but they clearly are not seeing illusions."
After a few moments over the com link Kira uttered," It's not because of me…something is preventing them from being affected by magic. The data I am getting is that it's like some sort of relic is neutralizing the magic, only its inside their body. Like they put the Ribbon item into nano-machines in their blood stream."
Ezan eyed them all before he shrugged." They were prepared it seems…just not enough."
Thragg saw Ezan warp another attacking Viltrumite into his eye before he muttered," Nolen…I'm going to need your set of skills to pin down this scampering rat."
Ezan eyed his main target carefully before pointing his sword at him." You can still retain some dignity if you give up your delusions Thragg. For the sake of your race I'm willing to give you options. But time is running out."
"ENOUGH!" Thragg boomed out. "I'm the leader of the most powerful race in the universe! I BOW TO NO ONE!"
Thragg attacked Ezan, and saw that the armored man was going to widen his eye before he backed up enough to avoid the pull. As he dashed back he snarled out," Your tricks can't work on me…I know what's coming now you crafty maggot! YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE…GUAH! "
In an instant Thragg saw Ezan coming for him, and punched the armored man, only to see his fist go through him.
Ezan let loose his Delta Ray Slash, a lighting fast triple sword slash that left the mark of a triangle on Thragg, causing the mustached man to roar in pain. As Thragg fell to his knees Ezan pointed his blade at his opponent's eyes." Who will kneel again?
To think…I once was like you when I first joined the Enji, thanks to the mindset Garma drilled into me. He made me think I was born to be great, and because of that I was blind to the truth.
You also remind me of Madara…someone who tried to delude his entire clan with his ego. No pretender is going to drag down the universe with them on my watch."
Thragg grasped his chest before spitting out," Ezan Zeon…I won't deny you live up to your reputation but you have no idea what I've done to secure the prosperity of my race after Ben Auro killed are great Emperor Argall because he would not bend the knee!
I did whatever it took to keep the Viltrumite clan on the top of the food chain! But what about you? All your ideas and powers failed to save those precious to you! Your already just a ghost…and you won't deny are clan the glory we deserve!"
Ezan grasped his fist tightly before lighting crackled around his fist." I won't deny…that I have not preformed as well as I wished in many of my past missions. But…while I have not saved everyone, even if I failed to save things very important to me, there are still things left for me to protect…and I won't fail them no matter what it takes! That's why Thragg…if you insist on clinging to your pathetic ego then I'll send you to hell and blast you as many times as it takes to make sure you stay down!"
Thragg saw Ezan extend his free hand and had energy form before he narrowed his eyes, and in an instant grasped the hand before Ezan could react. He slowly bent the hand back as his eyes widened." I may not have your experience but I'm still a man who lives for battle Ezan and I know when someone's about to cast a spell! Guess the gamble that you had to stop being a ghost to attack paid off after all!"
Ezan grunted in pain and tried to use the same spell he used before to short circuit the electricity in his opponent's brain. But the moment Thragg saw this he grit his teeth and refused to let the lighting get into his head." That won't work now that I know to close my ears you damn rat.
You live up to your legend but your mine now and I'm not letting go till I rip out your spine!"
Ezan winced from the pain before he stood his ground and eyed at one of Kregg behind Thragg." Don't count on it."
He widened his Rinnegan eye and cast the Amenotejikara time-warp spell to switch places with Kregg. The two mustached men looked shocked at suddenly seeing eye to eye before Ezan quickly cast the Amaterasu spell to consume the two in black flames.
Thragg saw his subordinate scream in pain and smashed Kregg to the ground before he clapped his hands hard enough to blow the fire off of him and cracked his neck." The flames of hell are just a day in the spa to me! But I'm going to show you true hell before this is over!
No matter how godly you are…your still one man against the universe's mightiest race. Enough of my men will come here to overwhelm you soon enough, and then we will drag you out to see your precious capital planet broken!"
"I may be stronger but those I fight with are still strong enough to handle things."
"Heh…you're going to see how wrong you are soon enough."
"Keep thinking that till you fall scum. Master Myers...Squall if your still watching somewhere...give me the light to protect are home!
Renzokuken Nijūnanazuryūsen!"
At the speed of light Ezan unleashed a sword attack once used by Grand Master Myers, and unleashed a god speed level dashing attack that simultaneously struck all nine vital spots on Thragg's body from a normal kendō stance, in fact unleashing the Karatake strike aimed at the above head with the downward strike,
the Sakagesagiri aimed at right shoulder diagonally,
Miginagi aimed at right arm's center from the side,
Migikiriage aimed at right arm's bottom/right wrist diagonally
Sakakaze aimed at groin area from below via upward stroke, or straight from front,
Hidarikiriage aimed at left arm's bottom/left wrist diagonally,
Hidarinagi aimed at left arm's center from the side,
Kesagiri aimed at left shoulder diagonally,
Tsuki/Shitotsu aimed at center of the chest, at breastbone, and then repeated two more times, all in the span of a second.
As Thragg had blood fly out all over his body Ezan grasped the ground hard enough to shake it before lighting crackled around his finger tips." Ready to bend yet!? Hiten Mugen Zan!"
Like a lighting bolt, Ezan unleashed a blow with such strength that it tore up the ground. As the smoke cleared, Thragg came out of the smoke like a raging bull as despite all the cuts across his body he screamed out," You think that level of pain can make me kneel? You think I have any weak points? I AM INVINCIBLE! Just proof your a prototype compared to the true master race!"
"Are you going to keep saying that to your last breath?"
Thragg roared with raw hate before attacking again.
As Ezan figured out the best way to shut down the raging leader of the race all infused with the power of the Nahobino, those under Thragg noticed things were not quite going according to plan.
Omni-Man was still keeping Shinryudramon distracted before he glanced at the planet below and winced." Anissa…why did the Grand Regent not emerge yet?"
"There seems to be more to this than meets the eye."
"Then find out what, huh?"
Shinryudramon slashed Omni-man with his beam saber, and burnt a part of the mustache away before the Digimon shouted out," Don't think you can run away forever you mustache jerks! You're not too small for me to get you. Verus Explosive Barrage!"
The royal knight unleashed a barrage of golden atomic energy blasts. Omni-Man saw the Viltrumite above him get vaporized before he snickered." I have to get below…keep this mutt busy…use the things he's supposed to protect as shields to make him prove just what he is."
Omniman evaded another laser, and saw Shinryudramon prepare to slash at him, only for another Viltrumite to hurl a Bethel warship at him. Ben's Digimon Partner growled and grasped it to save the ship as he saw Omni-Man descend into the planet.
Mark's father descended and saw the giants bombarding his fellow soldiers before he saw Anissa and Thula and cleared his throat." They clearly devised some trap.
Go spread out and cause their precious capital to topple…that will break their moral and cause the rank and file to panic and we will break them sooner."
They nodded before a new voice yelled out," Hey dudes you seriously need to chill!"
Omni-Man glanced down to see Sonic, with Shadow and the rest of his long time friends before he raised an eyebrow." What pet crawled out of the rock to die?"
"Pet? Your mustache is more of a pet dude!"
Shadow sighed before muttering," Mobius has been gone for centuries Sonic they don't even know who we are. And each Viltrumite hits harder than the likes of Perfect Chaos, Dark Gaia, or those titans guarding Starfall Islands."
Well then guess now than ever got to move fast!" Sonic narrowed his eyes before he took out the Chaos Emerald. Omni-Man saw this and sighed." Are you another " former Enji" mutant? Die with the rest of them!" Name's Sonic the Hedgehog jerk. I was friend's with the Enji but never officially joined them. Just a guy who loves adventure…and can't stand dudes with no chill!"
"If that's the case, then your adventure days end here!"
"Yah…about that I die hard you, oh?"
Omni-Man went to punch him, but Sonic was fast enough to get away with the light speed dash. He saw the crater the Viltrumite made before he wagged his finger." You have so little chill not even a chilly dog can help yah. C'mon Shadow…lets show them what people from Mobius can do!"
"Shadow grasped the Chaos Emerald in his hand and smirked." Did not think I would get to do this again. You Vilrumite's are going to see what a true ultimate life form is! Chaos Control!"
Shadow unleashed the power of the Chaos Emerald to warp in front of Sonic, before the two hedgehogs put the Emeralds together, and unleashed their super and Hyper forms.
Omni-Man saw Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles, and Lilac suddenly flying over him before he snickered." Pets that attempt to turn Super Saiyan? The farce of your kingdom is going to end sooner than I thought if, huh?"
Omni-Man felt a gust of wind before he swerved around and caught a punch. He saw it came from a purple-colored man with a mohawk and a cape. Omni-Man was hit back a few inches before he glanced at the man's uniform and snickered." The Shi'ar? Ah right…the Strontian still after all this time are willing to be the pets of inferiors."
"The Gladiator of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard is no one's pet Omni-Man! But we don't forsake are honor as casually as you Viltrumite's!"
"Piff…you still are honor bound because your mistress centuries ago wed the last Lylat King? You're worst then a pet, you're a moron! And all the morons will get what they,"
Gladiator fired a laser blast from his eyes to hit Omni-Man to the ground. Omni-Man saw the burnt mark on his chest from the heat vision before
He saw something to the right and grasped a hammer, before seeing it belonged to a Kree with a Universal Weapon hammer. He saw a female Super Skrull and a green armored warrior that looked like a humanoid Green Beetle all charge at him before he blocked there attacks and snickered." Bah...after all this why would the likes of the Skrulls and the Reach still fight for the Bethal Kingdom?"
The Skrull named G'iah winced as she wrapped her arm around Omni-Man's fist." We are no fools...despite are history we know are odds are better making sure you don't win!"
"That's true...but your still fools thinking that still matters!" Omni-Man cried out as he crushed the Kree's Hammer and bent the Green Beetle's arm. He easily shattered G'iah invisable barrier before he shattered the hammer and ripped the Kree attacker's arm off.
He then punched the attacking Super Skrull hard enough to overwhelm its eslatic body and punch a hole in her chest.
He saw the two attackers roar in pain before he spat on them." Have I proven my point yet? To slow, to weak, to easy! What a disgrace to our species...all of you! Your just Bethal pets despreate to keep your cage from being torn down before your at the mercy of the wild! Because you been so domesticated...you won't last a second in the ruels of nature. Well to bad, all of you tried to deny the rules of nature for far to long but its going to rip you up and devour you all!"
He prepared to go for the Green Beetle, till he saw a Panda coming for him and backhanded it's tackle. He saw the Panda rebound before he cracked his knuckle." They are so afraid that they seriously sent pets to die for them? Pitful."
Hey I'm not just a Panda!" said Panda cried out," I'm a Abrupt Mutant Cursed Corpse you know! I'm not doing this because anyone threw a Pokeball at me or something buddy. I'm doing this on my pride as a Bethal knight! And I'll show you just what that all means to us!"
Omni-Man's new oppoent shocked him by suddenly transforming mid charge to have elements of he ran up and unleashed a blow with a fist glowing with energy. Omni-Man caught the blow with his arm, but raised a eyebrow as he still felt a impact on his chest.
As the Green Beetle got back the Panda smirked." Even if you block the Unblockable Drumming Beat, each of the user's strikes will resonate throughout their target's body. Even if their opponent blocks, the impact will still damage the target with all the intended force of the attack! For how much Viltrumite's puff your self up you still can feel pain!"
Omni-Man grasped his chest before he cracked his neck." True."
In a second he smashed the Panda gorilla hybrid into the ground while uttering," But we can take a lot more pain then are prey! That's why...your all going to be broken. Its just up to you how much breaking it will take till you submit."
He was about to attack the Panda, till a wall of fire erupted in between them. Commander Burns landed before he spat out his cigar." You think we are to soft Viltruimte? Then play a few rounds with me! Voltage Nova!"
Omni-Man raised a eyebrow as Burns body grew noticeably larger in stature and fire started to pour from his mouth. What's visible of his face in this state very strongly resembled a humanoid lion before the Viltrumite snickered." That's right...your the one Kregg called "Fire Incarnate" eh?"
In a flash Burns punched Omni-Man to the ground, causing a creater in its wake. As fire consumed the area Burns yelled out as he punched Omni-Man again and again." You Viltrumite's are strong...but you can't fight nature! Your, huh?"
To his shock Omni-Man caugh this fist and seemed indiffrent to the flames as he punched Burns in the stomach." Not bad...but you refuse to admit that us Viltrumite's are beyond the rules the weak play by! We are above you in every way...and that's why your fools for trying to overpower your predator's charge!"
He was about to attack further before another male voice uttered," We are not fools Omni-Man…we just have more cares than just wanton lust for power! get out of the way! B'arzz, Panda, get out of the way! Gran del Sol!"
Omni-Man saw a beam of sun light head for him and blocked it before he saw it came from BloomLordmon, before the royal knight Digimon had his aura flare up." We won't let the likes of you wreck the capital! Now, while I have him pinned down!"
Three more Digimon, Gammamon, Angoramon, and a humanoid Jellyfish woman that was called Jellyfishmon, two of them being the ones that Mike and the others liberated from Vholran's control ran up before Gammamon ran up." You got it sir! You jerk…I'm not going to go back to being any one's slave! I'll show you all how hard I trained under sir Shinryudramon! Gammamon…Warp Digivolve to!"
A pillar of red energy surged out of the rookie Digimon, before it emerged in his Mega form.
It landed on the ground as a humanoid body structure with a ceratopsian-like head, Tyrannosaurus rex-like feet, red lines on each limb and torso, cyan gems on its armor, and a wing-framed cape with a dark-blue interior.
It had white scales covering most of its body; the only exception is its face, which was covered in white metal, a silver faceplate, three ceratopsian magenta horns, and spiky yellow hair on the back of its head.
The helmet, shin guards, faulds, cuirass, breastplate, and shoulder pads it wore had gold sections, glowing magenta spikes and red lines. It held the Sylvia, two large black cannons that can convert into swords, in each hand as it landed on the ground hard enough to crack it before roaring out," Siriusmon!"
At the same time Angoramon roared out," Angoramon…warp Digivolve to!"
The rabbit like Digimon was also consumed with light before he transformed into his Mega form. He emerged as a thinner humanoid rabbit looking like a knight with yellow and white armor welding two rapiers, Moralltach and Beagalltach before the left one glowed with red energy while the other one surged with blue energy before he got into a fighting stance and cried out," Diarbbitmon! "
Jellymon winked before declaring," Get ready for a shock to your drab system! Jellymon…warp Digivolve to!"
The female Digimon got consumed with a blue light, before she emerged as a pink colored humanoid cyborg and made a dramatic pose before declaring," Amphimon!"
Omni-Man saw the three mega Digimon surround him before he grit his teeth and uppercut the Gran del Sol beam before he snarled out," Time you all see how worthless your tricks are compared to raw, absolute power!"
The mustached man prepared to launch off before all of a sudden his arms were grasped, by the Tick. The man in blue just smirked at Omni-Man's shock." Wicked Man! Cease your antics, or I may be forced to assault you with the full weight of the Postal System of justice!
"You disgusting freak…die!"
Omni-Man elbowed the Tick in the gut, but the prototype from the Gamilas clan held his ground before holding Omni-Man tighter." Don't think you can get me to fold so easily villain! I am the measure of justice! But you are a psychotic relic of feudalism! Better get ready, a giant guy plus a harbor equals fluid dynamics at its best"
"DIE!"
Omni-Man rapidly elbowed the Tick so fast he was a blur, and while his target took the blows he let out a pained chuckle." Heh…single syllables! An almost formidable opponent!"
Omni-Man saw his comrades above were trying to hit Sonic and the others before they were about to come to him and he yelled out," Vernon, Keller, don't bother! These pests are just getting me angry! Smash everything they are trying to defend!"
Siriusmon growled at Omni-Man before his aura flared out," You will take this seriously when you're the one beaten on the ground jerk! Photon Blaster!"
The draconic mega level Digimon used the Sylvia cannon to shoot rays of light at the Viltrumite while Diarbbitmon cried out," Buck Rush!" And surrounds his target with afterimages that sliced Omni-man from all directions, while Amphimon cried out," Frozen Crystal!"
While in an instant she fired off frigid energy from its fist to freeze Omni-Man's head.
However he snarled and threw the Tick at Amphimon before smashing them all into the wall behind them in the distance. Before he could punch through them Wolverine burst out of the ground while saying," You picked the wrong house to attack bub! Think your a tough guy picking on kids? Then lets see how, huh?"
Wolverine tried to slice Omni-Man in the eyes with his claws...only to see them bend upon impact. The long living X-men winced as he looked at his now bent Adamantium blades." Really...even the eyes are, GUH!"
Omni-Man kicked Wolverine into the sky before hissing out," You idiots are still acting like what worked centuries ago can still cut it! Your just relics that should have been put out of your misery a long time ago! After all...you're all old technology - obsolete. What can you possible do?"
He prepared to try and punch Wolverine in half, but a green energy blast hit him in the eyes. He turned and saw it came from a Maximal with a blue face who's armor was that of a raptor welding a spinning sword and a rotating blade.
The Dino like bot had his eyes glow before letting out a grim smirk." What else but improvise?
The question that has haunted my being has been answered: The future is not fixed. My choices are my own. And yet, how ironic, for I now find I have no choice at all! I am a warrior... let the battle be joined."
Omni-Man saw the Maximal looked grimly deteremined, and snickered before in a instant he punched a hole in him. He saw Dinobot's defiance and sighed." You do have the grit of a warrior, or at least were programmed to have the mindset of one. To bad you were made to fight for the losing side!"
He was about to finish Dinobot off before a new voice cut in with,"Its not lost yet! Supreme Cannon!"
Omni-Man saw a light and saw a powerful blue energy sphere coming for him before he punched it aside. He saw a bipedal knight Digimon with blue eyes and equipped with white armor.
Its helmet has a white spike in the front and two yellow spikes in the back. It has the combined symbol of the Crests of Courage and Freindship on its chest, surrounded by purple stripes.
It bore the crest of courage on the Brave Shield Omega on its left shoulder, while its left hand ended with a Wargreymon head, from which the Grey Sword emerged. The Digi Code on the Grey Sword read "All Delete".
Its right shoulder had purple spikes, while its right hand was a Metal Garurumon head, from which the Garuru Cannon that shot Omni-man emerged. It also wore a white cape, the inside of which was red.
Siriusmon saw the new Digimon unleash its own holy aura before he grinned." You made it Omnimon!"
Omni-Mon pointed its blade at the enemy below and declared," Your not the only Omni being arond here!"
"No but I'm the only one not a pet!" Omni-Man spat out." Another " divine tool" still lingers? Your time is over!"
"You don't decide that! Transcendent Sword!"
The royal knight dove down to impale Omni-Man, only for his strike to be grasped. Omni-Man smirked as he bent the Transcident Sword more with each second." But you see I do mutt! Because I'm stronger then you!"
"No...you don't have the true strenth! Mode Change to...Merceful Mode!"
Omnimon unleashed a surge of power that blew Omni-Man into the air, before "Photon Spreads", lines of bluish-white light that resembled tears rolling down one's cheeks, emerged across his whole body.
As it grew angel wings the newly powered up Digimon narrowed his eyes." Graceful Cannon!"
The Royal Knight now fired a absloute Zero laser, but Omni-Man rebounded just in time to punch the beam. He found he was being pushed back before veins appeared on his forhead." No matter what tricks you try it won't be enough to beat your superior! Don't bother getting in the way men, no matter who they are none of them will be enough!
The other Vilrumite's saw Omni-Man get attacked by the Gladiator and Bloomlordmon as well, and just looked annoyed before they remembered their orders.
Sonic saw his attacker go off before he raised an eyebrow." Running away already? Talk about sore losers!"
Optimus Primal grit his teeth before yelling out," No…they are going to try and tear down Neo Arcadia! They tore apart cities in minutes in previous invasions! Tiger Hawk…try and slow them down!"
Another maximal that was a fusion of a tiger and a hawk transformed into a humanoid purple and sliver robot before lightning crackled around his hands. He showed his power to manipulate the weather and had black clouds roll in, seething and angry.
A lightning fork sliced across the scene before he hissed out," I'll give you a final chance. Surrender or be terminated by the storm of justice!"
Omni-Man snickered as he pushed all the attacks back." Mark…you can throw every " warrior of light" left in this cosmos but it won't be enough! You wouldn't sully your hands and be a man, trying to hide from disgracing your kin? You're a pack of fools, every last one of you. You believe you're safe? I will find you, and I will reclaim what you have taken from your clan! I WILL FIND YOU! Now go and tear down any place he could hide!"
The other Viltrumite's took off, but while they easily dashed through the storm Tigerhawk created, but as they saw the buildings and prepared to dive into the city, Sonic and Shadow both smashed into them.
As they landed into the under sector, the part of the city where the poorer parts of the city lived and where more refugees from other worlds were living.
The mustached males yelled out before they got off the ground, wiped the mud off their face before Sonic wagged his finger at the seething Viltrumite, Keller, below him." Big mistake thinking you're fast enough to outrun me! Just like Eggman and all the times he grinned with his smug mustach…you're going to pay thinking your fast enough to cause trouble on my watch!"
The right most Viltrumite, Vern, swept mud off his eyes before snarling out," KNOW YOUR PLACE MAGGOT!"
In an instant he was above Shadow, but the being spawned from the Black Doom order and Gerald Robotnik dodged the blow while uttering," Know yours! Chaos Spear!"
Shadow threw the projectile right into the Viltrumite 's face. As he fell to the ground and yelled in pain Shadow spat out," You think you're tough? I'll show you true resolve!"
Anissa saw her comrades fail to hit the hero's from Mobius before she snarled." Damn you all! You're all making a mockery of are race!"
"No Anissa….you're the one making a mockery of both are race, and of people in general!"
The female Viltrumite turned around to see Mark and a few others in Mike's group behind her. She snickered before cracking her neck." AT last come to reason and want to beg for mercy? I might still forgive you if your begging's improved!"
"I'm not running away Anissa!" The man with the title of Invincible cried out as he got into a fighting stance." And I'm not just going to let you all just kill more! And if nothing else…I enjoyed that part of the city last time I was here!"
"You're a disgrace of a Viltrumite Mark!"
"Well in the end I guess I'm only half a Viltrumite eh? With how you all treated me not like you were making a very convincing argument to stay loyal!"
"It was to make you strong! It's not like we gave you nothing but pain with all the pleasure I gave you?"
"Damn it…that was without my consent!"
"Bah…another thing you got from this dying kingdom's culture! You should just be grateful I did not break you when I climaxed you spineless traitor! You think you can defy your own kind? Your one against legion!"
She prepared to tackle Mark, and the two tried to overpower each other. Anissa slowly pushed Mark back, but he just smirked." Your right…seems like I have to fight my entire tribe, but I'm still not alone this time!"
"All these worthless, huh?"
The female Viltrumite prepared to headbutt Mark when suddenly a pink energy collar appeared on her neck and hoisted her head back. Anissa saw that the contract came from Eve…who looked livid as her energy surged." Want to say that again you monster? You're going to pay for using my boyfriend as a toy!"
"You think your magic can contain my might!?" Anissa roared out as she ripped the energy construct off her. In a flash she was above the red-haired woman, before her Rex Robot flew up to catch the blow.
Her strike smashed into the mechanical being, and while his armor was dented, it unleashed a shockwave of sound that made Anissa scream in pain.
Rex quickly punched her in the face while uttering," Thankfully her magic is not the sole factor. Ah, and good to see that the counter measures to Viltrumite enemies are effective."
Anissa rebounded and snarled before she raised her fist, before someone caught it. She saw that it was Astra before the blond woman grinned." Hey…what's this about thinking you're the most badass gal around here eh tool?"
Anissa tried to break out of her hold before to her shock Astra was pushing her arm back, and her shock caused Doug's child to grin wider." I think it's time you shut the hell up! Shinryu Reppa!"
The Equalizer quickly unleashed a blazing uppercut, then unleashed a second one the moment Astra was launched into the air to smash her in the forehead, causing her to get smacked down like a rocket.
Anissa hit the ground hard with a thud before she coughed up blood, saw she a tooth fell out before she screamed with rage." THIS IS JUST MAKING ME WANT TO KILL YOU MORE! I'll, huh?"
She tried to get up but saw that her leg was stuck. She saw she was hit into a web of blue energy. She heard a new female chuckle that was followed up with," I think you need to be drained out of all that tension."
She saw a humanoid woman in pink armor with four set of eyes and long black hair that sort of looked like a spider walk up before she eyed Anissa firmly." Nightscream…lay down the law for her…painfully."
"You got it Blackarachnia!" A younger voice cried out before a robotic youth with bat features flew right in front of Anissa, and unleashed a loud scream. This made her yell out in pain before the technorganic web she was bound to glowed more and more and shocked her.
Astra saw the Viltrumite look weaker before she snorted out," With how the" Queen" was running around like a Chocobo with her head cut off figured you guys were just going to surrender…but guess got some with guts around here."
Mike flew up before he shrugged." My folks have had threats centuries old to figure out…those that have stuck around have been preparing so long a lot of them can sleepwalk through it, and tell the "rookies" what to do."
Megumi ran up to then and slauted. " Megumi Fushiguro, second class mage reporting in! I'll help secure the targets! Ten Shadows Technique…Chimera Shadow Garden!"
The Bethal mage cast a spell to have shadows form around him and expand around the Viltrumite.
As Anissa saw the shadows start to cover her Megumi narrowed his eyes." We are trying to send as many as the enemy to my Shadow Realm domain to keep them removed! Bind her… Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga!"
Mark saw Megumi summon a towering, muscular humanoid figure with four wings protruding from its eye sockets and a tail-like appendage extending from the back of its head.
Hovering just above this is a large eight-handled wheel that rotated and it sported black hakama bottoms and a white sash around its waist to cover most of its lower body as it started to drag Anissa into the shadows.
Mark saw the woman scream in outrage as the half plant Maximal Botanica had vines burst out of the ground to further restrain the female Viltrumite before he sighed." Damn it…it did not have to happen like this. What is it going to take for everyone to wake up to how senseless this is?"
Just as the Mahaoraga summon was about to drag the Viltrumite in, a sonic book smashed into it and sent it into a building.
Omni-Man suddenly landed on the ground with a thud. While he had a few bruises and cuts around his body, he glanced up, looked at his son's shock, and looked enraged." It will end when you see how senseless it is to defy your kin boy! You thought all the punishments before were bad?
That's just the first layer of hell compared to what your punishment is going to be now! Before you just insulted the image of your clan, but now Conquest died because of your insolence! Now…you're going to see everything you thought could " help " you burn before you FINNALLY GOD DAMN KNEEL!"
Mark winced as he saw past his father that the Tick, Gladiator, Burns, Omnimon and the other Digimon, and the various giants were all in the distance, though some were still fighting other Viltrumites before he tensed up.
But before he could lose his nerve Eve grasped his arm tightly, and he looked more determined." No…that's not what's going to happen dad! You let Thragg thought you and the rest of the Viltrumites can just bulldoze the universe into kneeling for you! I'm not going to let you do that again!"
Omni-Man saw he was being surrounded before he smirked." Allow? I saw everything you learned while we reeducated you. You think your "girlfriend" can help you? It's just going to be a lesson in how worthless love really is!"
Mike grit his teeth before he got in front of his friend." Got it all wrong man. Last time…we were all just trying to get away from things. But now…now its persona. Now you're invading my home trying to act like you own the place! But you pushed us so far that the only way to go is through you if you don't back the hell off!"
Omni-Man saw Mike and raised an eyebrow in confusion." You're still alive? Thought it was just desperate rumors. Heh…I give you some guts for acting like a man trying to defend your people kid but that won't give you any mercy.
Your time, the time of the Bethel Kingdom and the Enji Knights and all it stands for is over. The era of Viltrumite rule is absolute!"
Astra spat on the ground before she walked up and took Gorr out of her sheath." Yah…keep telling yourself that jackass. There're enough folks who hate your guts already to the point that it's never going to last. But because I seen you screw enough folks over I'm not waiting for the backlash and cutting to the equalizing now."
"I'm only going to say this once woman, I have no mercy for whores who are too full of themselves."
"Yah…I saw what you did to Cyclaminos before, not to mention what you did to your " pals" War Woman and Green Ghost. Not that we were pals or anything but what can I say but seeing men be assholes to other gals, even asshole gals I was fighting with before pisses me off. You're going to pay for,"
In a flash Omni-Man was in front of her with his fist ready to punch through her head. In an instant the shadow underneath Astra burst out to form a spike. Omni-Man swerved out of the way as some of his mustache, and as he did Astra already had Gorr come for his head.
Omni-Man caught the godslayer blade, and saw the raw hate in Astra's eyes before the blond woman spat out." Your days of treating woman like your play toys are done jackass. Because this chick is no doormat!"
Omni-Man thought the blond woman was bluffing, but as he pushed her blade back she yelled out, and unleashed a surge of power that blew the Viltrumite back. When he stabilized himself he saw that Astra had fully unleashed her Demi-Fiend transformation before he narrowed his eyes." So…the rumors are true. You're not just some whore…but the devil's spawn eh?"
Astra cracked her neck before sassing out," Guess your not the most special badass here after all eh? I already took down one uptight Nahobino who bought his own hype."
"Tsc…it will cost you comparing me to the frauds. The Superian, Knull, even Homelander are just spoiled brats who were lucky to be in the room when the Ambrosia was being handed out.
But we were already an elite warrior race. This just closed the gap between those who clung to divine privilege! You may have been his spawn, but I am the chosen successor!"
"Yah…"Bob" ranted about the whole " War of Bel" thing going on. Honestly don't give a damn what you, the old man, or anyone else had in mind…I'm doing things my own way! And that way…is kicking down sexist bastards that are more pigs than men down till they don't get back up!"
She suddenly threw Gorr at her target, and while he caught the red blade, he realized to late that she threw the living sword to distract him, as she punched him in the gut. Astra cried out as she unleashed a barrage of blows that were so fast that she was a blur.
Omni-Man was punched into the rock cavern behind him, and was punched hard enough to cause it to crack. Astra grasped Gorr again and prepared to jab the blade into his head before he grasped it with his right hand.
Even as spikes came out of the blade, he merely grunted before holding Astra back." Not bad for an uncouth bitch. Tsc, you could have been a worthy Viltrumite if you just had some sense."
"Hey…bitch's get thing done jackass! And I don't need a thumbs up into your man cave when I'm going to burn it down!"
"Like hell you are, cause even a demon, even whatever elite demon you call yourself means nothing to the superior race! He kneed her and tried to tackle her, only for Mark to tackle his father into the ground.
He tried to keep the older Viltrumite pinned while yelling out," You got to stop this dad! One way or another this won't end with glory for you or anyone else in the clan! It will just end with are ruin!"
"To think being halfblooded would make you this spineless!"
"No…it takes more of a spine to not just be a lap dog and maul whoever Thragg tells you to! Even if I have to fight you I'll do what I have to!"
He threw a punch at Omni-Man, only for his father to catch it. He grasped his son's fist tightly before spitting out," You think because you tricked a drunk Conquest you can match your father? Just because you have an entire planet backing you it does not mean anything when its full of inferior beings!"
Mark tried to kick the man with the mustache only for the taller man to block the blow with his head. He smashed his son to the ground again before punching him in the stomach." I won't stop until I beaten some sense into you.
This planet's fate was decided the moment our clan decided to take it! The only thing that will be decided is…how many have to be crushed under are heel till you learn your lesson!?"
He prepared to punch his son in the face, only for Eve to form an energy chain. As he turned his head to her, Tyson charged in and hurled a Rinzin Rasengan right in his chest. The Black Panther saw Omni-Man did not even flinch before getting punched in the chest.
As he was punched the man from Wakanda 's suit glowed before unleashing a Vibranium shockwave that caused Omni-Man to get off balance. As Mark hit him back the older Viltrumite rubbed his cheek and snickered." A Wakanda mascot now? You really had every rat hiding from the beasts rally to you eh?"
Tyson rubbed his fist and chuckled bitterly." They called Wakanda arrogant but you Viltrumite assholes go around swaggering like you own the place.
The Black Panther's have been prowling this "jungle" we call a universe before you guys were even a thing! Just because we lurk in the shadows don't mean we are hiding! I'll show you how a true king of the beast roars jearkass!"
The Black Panther had his energy surge as he once more unleashed all the power he could from being the Jinchūriki to Bast and surged with sudden purple color. He then charged up and yelled out," Idoua's Desgarrón!"
Before his aura exploded into the shape of a panther. Omni-Man saw the massive claw of energy before he smirked." You want to play kitty? So be it."
He shocked everyone by catching the massive claw of energy with one hand. While some blood dripped down his fist, he just had a wild look in his eye as veins formed on his forehead." I'll give you credit, did not think I would have to put this much power into a has been race like you.
But it does not matter how long the Black Panther was the king of the jungle, times have changed! Now your just another prey for the true king of the, huh?"
To his shock he felt himself slipping, and realized the ground suddenly felt more slippery. He saw Mike in the distance, and saw that the curly haired man had used his Friction Crusher spell to effect the traction around the Viltrumite. He yelled out in anger before he suddenly tripped.
He still kept the Idoua's Desgarrón attack back but saw that above him Astra was powering up her own energy.
The Equalizer had a wild smile sprout as she had three red energy orbs form in a triangle shape between her hands and wings." Even the biggest beasts get devoured if enough pissed off folks swarm them "Omni-Man. Suck on this" Sweat Pee." Berial…Masako!"
Nolan saw the massive red energy beam come his way before his eye twitched." You dirty little," Before he could finish the blast consumed him.
Mike saw the projectile dive into the planet before he tugged his collar." Um…guys maybe blowing the world up to take the enemy down is not the best idea yah know?"
"Don't think I'm a dumbass damn it!" Astra spat out." I got this covered!"
She directed her Berial Masako to roar into the sky, and had it soar out of the planet. At the same time all the nearby Bethel warships and Gundam's opened fire on Astra's blast, causing it to ignite into an explosion that lighted up the entire capital planet.
Mark saw the extent of the explosion before he winced." Dad…even after all this I wish it did not have to end like this. Just had to be so damn stubborn!"
Astra spat on the ground before she smirked." He's so proud of being a beast of a man then he can go ahead and die like a," She was cut off as one of the ships in the sky exploded. As she looked on in shock all of a sudden Omni-Man crashed into her from above to smash her into the ground hard enough to leave a crater. Before she could even yell out Omni-Man threw Gorr into her right hand.
As she yelled out in pain everyone saw Omni-Man's right shoulder was burnt and his face was bleeding before he wiped the blood off his face." Not bad…for a rookie. But your to soft to win.
If you had the attack go off instantly you might have killed me. But, you were to worried about blowing up this planet and it gave me time to push the blast away to…minimize the damage. Tsc, I thought the Equalizers hated the Bethel Kingdom?"
Astra snickered as she slowly got back up." What can I say? My stuff's still on this rock so I don't want all the time I wasted getting it amount to jack you, Unh!"
Omni-Man landed on her hard enough to cause many breaking sounds, and casualty smacked away incoming attacks being fired on him while grunting out,"
I was bred to be a warrior, woman. Trained my entire life...to master my senses.
Where did you train? On a farm? For all your tricks you,"
In a flash Astra shocked Omni-Man and grasped his arm before looking at him with pure hate." Yah maybe living the "Nomad" life did not let me have the masterclass art of fighting like a mass murdering asshole like you Nolan…but it taught me how to be a survivor.
Sounds like you see survivors as just bugs for you to step on…but time you feel all the pain you caused all those rats! Grip of Murder!"
Astra once more preformed her ritual spell, and had her blood seep into Omni-Man's cut before the curse took hold, and all the souls he murdered caused all of there pain to surge through him.
Omni-Man yelled in pain as blood dripped down his eyes. As he staggered back Astra got back up, pulled Gorr out of her hand and cracked her neck." Piff…men who think they are invincible would not last ten second giving birth.
Course that has not happened to me yet either but still, it's the whole kind of pain the" prey" is not suppose to be able to deal with eh?
You guys think you're so tough when all you're doing is huffing and puffing so you never have to own up to the pain you caused. But high time the bill is dropped you mustached bastard cause I sure as hell had enough of your god damn roaring! Ia Death Waltz!"
The blond woman burst at Omni-Man like a bullet, but he caught the sword with his left hand. The blade went through his hand, but Omni-Man was still able to prevent Astra from pushing Gorr into her chest.
While he looked pained Omni-Man roared out a primal scream before hissing out," This pain…is just what makes a Viltrumite a man! You won't best me with the likes of this!"
He prepared to punch Astra back, till Mark dive bombed him in the back, causing the older male to fall to his knees before he yelled out," When are you going to give up your damn pride dad!? Just give up!"
"A traitor like you would never understand true pride boy! I'd rather die then disgrace my clan! But if you embrace the ideas of clowns so badly then I'm going to make them suffer, Mark! These fools you think adopted you, I will take them all from you...and when nothing is left you will have no choice but to see what endures."
He tried to kick his son, only for Shinra to suddenly intercept him with a kick of fire. Omni-Man blinked in shock at the sudden appearance of the member of Special Fire Force with fire around his legs before Shinra flashed a toothy grin." You may not know me jerk…but are fire is too fierce to be blown out by a blowhard like you! Ignition Ability…full throttle!"
Shinra had a pillar of fire surge around his feet before he kicked Omni-Man. At the same time another Bethal demon slayer, one with two horn-like blue flames floating above his head, long elven ears, and his prominent canine teeth looking like demonic fangs, with pupils becoming red and slitted, while his had a jagged triangular shape and a deeper shade of blue, who had blue flames blaze around other places of his body, mostly at the tip of his tail and on his shoulders, as well as his sword charged in while crying out," Keep him pinned Shinra! I'll make sure this dude's deep fried! Satan Bomb Campfire!"
The horned man took out his sword, Kurikara, which was a katana that had blue wrapping around its hilt, a silver handguard unusual for a katana, a silver collar above the guard, and another one on the hilt, a green tassel attached to the hilt's end. Its scabbard was lacquered colored blue with silver ornaments wrapped around it and a silver "Om" symbol on it.
He stabbed Omni-Man with it, and while his target grasped it, his target created a series of explosions at various nearby points on the target. After this, blue flames spread, consuming the target's body akin to a" Satan Campfire."
Omni-Man grunted, but looked like the flames were just making him itchy as he went to grasp the horned swordsmen, till a new warrior cried out," Watch out Rin! Crown Edge!"
Omni-Man heard something and saw a projectile coming from the right before he quickly bat it out of the way. He saw it came from a man who's face was heavily marred with scars. He had medium-length gray/white hair that had grown to shoulder-length, silver/gray eyes, and pale saw the man swing a " Sword of Exorcism" broadsword, and caught it before its owner yelled out," Death Orbs!"
Before a barrage of explosions bombared Omni-Man. Astra saw how demonic some of the most recent attackers looked before her eye twitched." Hey how come everyone gives me crap for having demon moves when you guys have every other soldier being half demon now!"
James floated over before letting out a uneasy chuckle." I suppose the likes of Rin Okumura and Allen Walker may have demonic orgins but there ties were firmly to the light, unlike your father. Registered Demons are trusted...its just well, wildcards and all that."
As Astra rolled her eyes at the Holocron, Omni-Man snarled in rage."Trying to win the favor from a god that's either dead or made it he does not give a damn is beyond paththic."
"God?" The white haired man named Allen cried out." I don't care about that. I...! I've made my own oaths! To myself, that I would destroy the Shade Akuma...! To my friends, that I would fight alongside them! To this world, that I would save it! To my father, that I would keep walking till the day I died... I MADE AN OATH TO THEM ALL! This is the only path I can take... so that I can feel alive."
"Then your a damn fool!" Omni-Man snarled out as he beat back Allen, Shinra, and the Tick all at once." Bring everyone in hell and heaven at once down on us, it won't matter because heaven and hell have one master, the new superior race over all!"
He was about to uppercut Shinra before Shiki ran up while saying," You think you hit hard but this is how hard we want to protect are friends Omni-Man!
Overdrive! Super Ultimate Magimech Attack: Black Sky!"
Shiki had his hair and skin color changed to where his hair became white, both his arms were darkened with purple Ether markings, and a pair of black horns with the same markings appear out of his head.
His clothing also changed into a sleeveless, high-collared tunic and his bandage is gone, revealing a small scar before he strengthened the weight of his heart, creating a ball of gravity that grew bigger, and slams it at his target.
Omni-Man winced as he tried to shrug off the Black Sky projectile, before all of a sudden the Chainsaw-man jumped at him and tried to slash off his mustache.
Denji saw his attacker glaring at him before he snarled out," I admit…I just want to live long enough to score with Himeno after she gave me her number but that date's not going through if you wreck the planet! I waited long enough damn it! I mean...its the real number and everything this time!"
Omni-Man had his eye twitch before snarling out," PATHTHIC!" Before headbutting the sudden Chainsaw welding interloper into Astra and then slamming his hands to cause a shock-wave to knock everyone back.
He looked around and coughed up blood a bit before he grasped his cursed hand tightly." Son…all these hero's think there virtues make them strong when it just makes them weak!
These things just make you unsure of yourself. The fact that you possess a sense of morality...and we do not...gives us an evolutionary advantage. And if history has proven anything...it is that evolution always wins. Now I'm going to,"
"Wait Nolan!"
Omni-Man paused before he saw Thragg land behind him. As everyone looked shocked Mark's father raised an eyebrow." T…Grand Regent? Were you really trapped?"
"Yes…but they paid for thinking that the ruler of the Viltrumite clan could fall to such inferior tricks. I want all these vermin to kneel before I'm through with them. But I have to tell you something first."
Omni-Man paused, before he saw Thragg's iron glare at nodded. As Omni-Man got over he cleared his throat." Is it about the battle?"
"Yes…just a small change of plans."
He motioned Omni-Man closer till he suddenly took out a pistol and fired it, causing a massive noise to boom out. Omni-Man yelled in shock before his leader smirked." The plan is…you're getting trapped to Maverick!"
Thragg's image flickered before he transformed into someone smaller.
He was a robot or "Reploid" of youthful design with green eyes, an "X"-shaped scar on his face, and spiky auburn hair that sprouted outward behind his head. His streamlined armor was shaped similar to X's, with a black sheen and red lines.
His chest was adorned with an blue crystal, his shoulder pads were pointed, and his legs featured white boosters on the sides. Jutting from his upper back were two long, white retractable "wings" that form an "A" shape behind him.
His helmet's red decal, when viewed from above, also resembled an upside down "A" with a circular camera lens-like crystal forming the gap.
The gun slinger saw Omni-Man's outrage and smirked." Man…good to be able to turn off the ears right about now when firing the noise guns and all. You fell right into that one big guy! All your talk and you still can't stand the sonics!"
Omni-Man glared at the interloper before he slowly walked forward." You think you can trick me you piece of,"
He was cut off as a large blue energy sphere hit him in the head, before a second one hit him further, then a green energy wave hit him to the ground before an older but confident voice cut in with," Oh trust me Maverick…I been hunting prey a lot longer than you!"
The new arrival landed on the ground and revealed himself as someone who's instinctive traits were his red and white armor, a horned helmet with a blue gem on his forehead, and a long blond ponytail.
He had shoulder pads (one with a "Z" symbol), two green gems on his chest, a white codpiece, and white kneepads and toes, and a beam saber which he promptly pointed at Omni-Man." Nice job Axl. Almost thought I missed the party. So Viltrumite…you guys been making a hell of a mess but high time you see what a real God of Destruction can do."
Omni-Man saw X land past Zero before he narrowed his eyes." So…the "legendary" robot hunter Zero eh? You think this scare me? Crushing all the legends the Bethel Kingdom has left will ensure this kingdom dies tonight! I don't care how many toys you killed Zero, you're as obsolete as the rest of the garbage!"
Zero got into a fighting stance before he looked serious." Big talk for someone who is coming off even more as Wily's overkill project then I am. I'll say it before and I'll say it again… even if we Reploids are destined to join the scrap heap when that evolutionary step does come about...we still have to fight... not only against Mavericks, but against our own destiny as well! We been defying are destiny for centuries now…and I'm not going to quit the day some blowhards come crashing in thinking they own the place! Tenshouha!"
The robot originally created by Dr Willy to destroy the original Megaman slammed the ground before an energy beam rained down to crash into Omni-Man, only for him to slam it out of the way.
Axl suddenly formed a Proton Cannon and opened fire On the Viltrumite, only for the mustached man to slowly charge through the attack while hissing out," The justice of the" Reploid hero" means nothing to me Zero! It's time for all the justice of the weak to be smashed apart forever!"
X suddenly shot up before his armor changed, into his Ultimate Armor state. His hover boots let him keep in the air as he screamed out," It's not ending on my watch maverick!"
Doctor Light's ultimate creation fired a barrage of halo-like rings that pinned the mustached man glanced at X and snorted out." I can see you're a true veteran of warfare Megaman X.
But no matter how many enemies you fought, even Sigma is nowhere near as resistant as a Viltrumite elite! We don't have your weaknesses…your limits! In a war of attrition, all others fail!"
Zero saw Omni-Man was causing X's attacks to crack in seconds before he grasped his saber tightly." The thing is that I don't call myself a hero or fight for justice or all that, but I do fight for those I believe in. And I'm not letting those people get killed by the likes of you! I'll show you how serious I am about that! Let's do it X!"
Zero glowed purple before he transformed into the "perfect form" Wily gave him after he absorbed Bass and Axl as Omega.
A light blinded Omni-Man, before Zero emerged looking kind of more like his Absolute Zero form in Command mission with some major differences.
Now he was covered with black and purple armor, now with spikier shoulder pads, demonic wings were now sprouting over his back and his helmet was spiked as well.
As soon as Zero finished his transformation he lashed out with a green energy whip to grasp Omni-Man's fist and yelled out," Game over! Z-End Slash!"
Zero had his Z-saber become a massive pillar of light before he brought it down.
Omni-Man broke out of the constraints and caught the slash, but was pushed back. Axl fired at him again while X unleashed his Nova Strike attack to hit Omni-Man in the gut. The blasts knocked Omni-Man back a few feet and loosened his grip, allowing Zero to push harder and slash the Viltrumite across the chest.
Omni-Man only grunted as a large gash blazed across his chest. Zero saw his enemy's distraction and narrowed his eyes." You guys are big on no mercy eh? Right back at yah! Final…Zero…Shine!"
The SA ranked Maverick Hunter fired a massive red energy beam that blasted Omni-Man into the air. As an explosion roared out Axl smirked." You nailed him Zero! One Mavric,""Don't be a fool Axl!"
X uttered as he walked up and kept his X buster charged." We seen Omni-Man tank through one thing after another so don't let your guard down for a second. With any luck, it weakened him enough so that we can end this soon."
Astra flew up before her aura flared up." Like hell am I letting this asshole punk me again! Wiggle out of this! Meidō…Zangetsuha!"
The blond woman once more unleashed black crescent waves at the smoke. The impact blew the smoke away, but to everyone's shock they saw Omni-Man grasp the magic in his hands. He had veins form as he roared out," YOU THINK THIS IS LEVEL OF POWER IS ENOUGH TO KILL A VILTRUMITE ELITE!?"
While he was clearly pushing himself, using all his strenth he shattered the magic that was suppose to strike like a black hole before it could consume him.
As he landed down, he was breathing heavily and even more bloody, but just glared at everyone, saw Astra's shock and swept the blood off his face." I bench press more in my morning workout's girl!"
Tyson chuckled bitterly as he shot out," Way to half ass the blackhole girl!"
"Hey you wanted the whole planet to get caught up in a more jucied up black hole? No? Then shut the hell up and get the next plan out eh?"
"Plan whatever you want...I almost want to let you throw every single thing you have just to prove that nothing you can do will win!"
Mike let out a grim chuckle before shrugging." I don't know about that…Conquest thought he was all that…till he was finding himself being the conquered one."
"Bah…Conquest was the third strongest after me and Thragg…but he let it go to his head. But his death is a reminder for the rest of us not to be dragged down with your weaknesses!
All of you cling to trivial things, while only strength and victory matter to us! You keep trying to make us care about "Art" and all the other marginal things, when we only care about the strong and the weak, the predators and the prey! It's because you cling on too much that you will never be able to stop us!"
Before anyone could rebuke him an explosion broke out, and everyone heard a roar of fury before Mike shrugged." Yah well…I'm betting everything or nothing that your off on that Omni-jerk. So, huh?"
Everyone saw that from the explosion came Thragg, who was shooting out like a rocket, with Ezan in his grasp. Despite a Judgment Arrow being stuck in Thragg's left shoulder, and the Nu-Epyon being right at Thragg's neck, the two were in a deadlock as Thragg looked even more fired up from his injuries.
Ezan saw everyone was suddenly around him before he snickered." My apologies…I miscalculated the outcome of that attack…sightly. I'll have to come up with the back up plan to contain him."
"NOTHING CAN CONTAIN ME EZAN!" Thragg roared out as he pushed the katana back more. "Even if you cast me to hell I'll just burst out! There is nothing that can, GUH!"
He was suddenly hit on the side of his faced and knocked down before Ezan cracked his neck." Oh…there is a deeper level of oblivion that no one can return from Thragg. And since you still can't see the Limbo clones…your clearly not as "Invincible" as you think.
Omni-Man saw the former Enji causally get back into his fighting stance before his eye twitched." Ezan Zeon…your still alive? I know no one saw you die…but I thought you just went somewhere to die in disgrace. After all…you undoubtedly failed so utterly."
Ezan narrowed his eyes before retorting with a cold," Any dishonor I may have done is nothing compared to you who betrayed his own comrades!
Some on the Guardians of the Globes were those I spared with over the years like War Woman and the Immortal…and its time your betrayal is answered for. We showed mercy because you made an effort to work with the Bethel Kingdom…but the cost of that being an act of treachery will be steep."
Omni-Man felt the air move behind him and swerved around to catch Ezan's invisible Limbo clone. Even without seeing it he held it in place while hissing out," It's you and your "Rival"s fault for assuming I was loyal to anything but my kin in the first place! It was never a betrayal if my only loyalty was to my clan in the first place Ezan!
I exist...only to protect Viltrum. That is the sole purpose for which I was born. And every action I take...no matter how violent...or how cruel...is for the greater good...of my people. You knew that and still assumed I would put your dying Kingdom first, and that's why your order is about to collapse by the hands of a superior opponent."
"It has not collapsed yet." Ezan coldly declared as he pointed his sword at Omni-Man. "We did not have to be enemies…but you chose this when you decided to make the mistake of all other warrior clans consumed with blood lust."
"You think you still have the luxary of a conscious while keeping your pepole alive Ezan? This entire Universe has on conscious. If it ever had one, it died when heaven was shattered! If we had your " honor" we would just be ripped apart like your dead pal the Utopian! This is the age of madness we live in " Hero." in times like this what good would a "conscious" do me? Or anyone that wants to win?"
"Because Nolan...fighting without pride leads to ruin."
"Tsc…you say that after Ben Auro killed Argall for not treating him like a god? Even more arrogance thinking we would overlook that! When we find the next true successor to Argall…he will have his rightful place as the master of the universe!"
Ezan paused before he took a deep breath." That will never happen. Part of it at least. After all…the first part of that desire has already been found. Thragg never told you did he?
It's true that Argall tried to attack Ben and in response Ben struck him down. But… Thaedus told us that you were the one who gave him the idea to try and help get favor with Doug. And Thaedus also told us you moved quickly to make sure that the hidden heirs to Argall were forever lost…so you could rule."
Thragg got enraged before hissing out," YOU DARE MOCK ME WITH SUCH PATHTHIC LIES!"
Ezan was able to block the Grand Regent's tackle before shrugging." Thaedus knew…but you just made sure no one in your clan ever believed him."
The older Viltrumite flew down before he sighed." It's true, Argall talked about how Thragg was right about this and that, and then suddenly he really talked about being the one to cause the Bethel Kingdom to fall.
If you were purely acting for the glory of the clan, then how come you quickly announced yourself as his successor!? You said it was to find Argall's kin, but all traces of his spawn vanished. If you were truthful Thragg…then Nolan would be the King because he is Argall's true successor!"
Thragg saw Omni-Man and Mark's jaw drop before his eye twitched." Please…you really want your last moments being spent ranting about a pathetic farce!? You have no way to verify that."
Ezan had his aura surge before he widened his eyes." Then it's time you confront the truth you tried so hard to bury Thragg! Tsukuyomi!"
Thragg saw Ezan prepared to strike before he wound up his fist." NO spell will make me knee to you! For this I'll…huh? What?"
No attack came, but Thragg saw a few ravens fly by before a grunt could be heard…followed by a disgruntled," How could you betray me…how could you sell me out Thragg? You dragged the entire clan down for your ambitions and you will pay!"
Thragg saw an older Viltrumite with a crown stagger out of the shadows before he winced." No…a…king Argall? Damn it…this has to be a trick! Some decoy! Make a mockery out of are great leader and I'll rip you apart!"
In an instant Thragg punched Argall so hard that he caused the ground to shake. But to his shock Argall caught the punch while moaning out," If you revered me so much…why did you trick me into getting myself killed? Why did you quickly take the crown for yourself in all but name and deny my successor his due? You…you did it all for your own glory!"
"No…no its all wrong!" Thragg yelled out." I…I had to do it all…for the glory of the Viltrumite clan! You were to caught up in the Last Emperor's myth…but as a martyr it would ensure we would fight till the end!
I could not let some fool derail this destiny, I had to stay in charge to ensure that my, that the Viltrumite clan fulfilled their destiny as the ultimate warrior race!
It's all to ensure we did not make the same mistakes as the Kryptonians, the Saiyans and all the others that lost their way and were tricked to submit to their inferiors! It almost has worked…I just have to kill these fools!"
While he thought he was arguing with the previous leader, he failed to realize that everyone else just saw him ranting to air. Astra saw Ezan's stone-cold look before she snickered." Damn…can't deny how hardcore you are if you hit the man so hard he's seeing things."
"Not quite." Ezan answered bluntly." But I did hit him hard enough to destroy the nanomachines that were shielding him from magic…allowing things such as genjutsu to affect him. It was not without risk…but it was worth it to bring the truth to bare."
Omni-Man saw Thragg was still yelling before he winced." Wait…so I'm the true ruler of the Viltrumite clan?"
Mark raised a eyebrow before he rubbed his head." Wait that means I'm the prince of these guys?"
Tyson chuckled bitterly before responding with a gib," A half-blood prince but more or less dude. And I thought my family ties were messed up. God damn. So jackass…sounds like everything you been fighting for is a lie eh?"
Omni-man looked at himself before he glared at Ezan." Why…why bother for such an exasperating complicated farce? You think I'll suddenly bend the knee Ezan Zeon!? WE are warriors that are meant for war, not peace! Violence is the true nature of warriors!"
Ezan saw that Omni-Man looked more shaken up then from the result of any previous attack before he sighed." Violence is the destiny of warriors you say?" It's true that a warrior's nature is to fight…but we still can decide what we fight for Nolan! The nature of a warrior is to keep fighting…but he can decide what he or she brings about with that violence!
You should strive not to just bully the weak with the strength you already have, but to strive and pursue to reach a new level of strength! After all…for how much of a show your making out of this your attacking Corneria because for how much you mock Homelander, you're afraid to confront him!"
Omni-Man paused before he looked down." I'm not afraid of that clown. Its…its Black Noir. He…he's killed one Viltrumite after another and no one even knows what he did. He…he's likely the true leader of the Seven.
Besides…with all those new contraptions around the Vought clan…something is going on and we need as few distractions as possible to defeat them."
"Tsc…you have some sense but you're still going about it like cowards instead of warriors. Its not to late to still have real pride if you're willing to admit to your mistakes."
"That is what this has all been about? You're trying to make some pathetic alliance!? As if the Bethel Kingdom would ever work with the "Savages." "
"They would…if it increased are odds at defeating Homelander, and the one controlling him. Are history won't matter if we are all erased the day after. Thragg is to consumed by his ego to do what is truly good for the Viltrumite clan Nolan, but if you truly care about what's good for your people…then wake up before it's too late.
The Kryptonian race was too caught up in their own pride to realize their very planet was crumbling around them. The Saiyans chose to put their desire for short term gain to realize Frieza was using them till he destroyed them.
Your people are on the verge of making one of those kind's of mistakes, but you don't have to and can go down the road of twilight to a new path of dawn. "
Omni-Man grasped his fist before chuckling bitterly." Bah…for being the "ultimate warrior" you become another pathetic politician Ezan! Good and evil mean nothing to me…only the glory of the, GUH!"
In an instant Ezan punched Omni-Man in the stomach…causing the Nahobino to cough up blood.
He saw Ezan prepare a follow up punch, and blocked it before Ezan looked right in his eyes." If it's only for aiming for power then good and evil mean nothing! But if you still have a little fragment of true pride in you, then don't take the cowards way out and do what it takes to make the hard call Nolan!
I was like you, I first let my pride blind me, then let a false sense of duty of " just being a soldier" let Kira Myers bind me to his illusions. But, Ben Auro and the other Enji fought hard enough to force me to wake up, and then I made a choice."
Omni-Man struggled to keep Ezan back before he snickered out a bitter," And because you found this "enlightenment" you think you're the strongest warrior now? "
"Strongest? Be it strongest or second strongest I learned the hard way that rankings may be well and good but they only reflect a moment in time. Once that moment has passed it's nothing but history. For me…I'm already stronger than I was a few minutes ago…and no matter what happens…I'll keep striving to make progress.
Do you want you and your race to reach a "ceiling" and settle to merely use that power to abuse others who can't fight back, or challenge greater challenges and have real pride? You have to choose soon" Omni-Man."
"There is no choice to make…I'll dismiss the enemies lies and size the true glory, not the mirage an enemy is casting!"
"So you're too afraid to make a choice and want to not have to make that choice? I won't let you run away from this choice Nolan!"
His right eye started to bleed before his aura flared up." It's time! Izanami!"
Mike saw Ezan and Omni-Man unleash countless blows per second before he rubbed his eyes." Damn…Ezan really is as hard core as they get making these guys seem like no big deal."
Astra eyed Ezan carefully before she grunted in annoyance." Still…what the hell is he doing talking to these assholes when we need to put them down?"
"He's doing what's best for the future Astra." James suddenly added as the Holocron floated in between the two children of his teammates." Ezan…he's come a long way from the person who only thought of himself as a blade to be pointed at the enemy.
Now…he's going the extra mile to try and forge a path to where the Viltruimte's could be our allies. As risky as it is…we need every possible resource to have any hope of defeating Sieg."
Mark saw Omni-Man's rage and Thragg's insanity before he winced." But…dad hardly listens to anyone…and never puts anything above the glory of the clan."
"Maybe." James uttered." But if anyone knows how to reach out to a warrior, its Ezan."
Mike took a deep breath as he saw everyone watching on tensely before letting out an uneasy chuckle." Well I'm all for crazy gambles. At least…with Ezan tangling with the big cheese and second cheese here none of the others are going to dare mess with them. Maybe…maybe we just might get this under control after all."
As everyone looked on tensely the majority of them failed to realize that the threats were far more numerous than they assumed.
Masaki and the SRX team kept to there word and hunkered down since the invasion started…though they were on the edge of there seats just watching.
Megaman Trigger, Tanjiro, 2B and some of the others stayed around the Hague just to guard it in case a Viltrumite found them, and the Digger was more anxious than most since Roll and Barrel still were in the ship from another universe.
Tanjiro heard all the explosions and grasped his blade tightly." Damn…I know one on one I'm no match for any of these Viltrumite warriors but…I can't just sit back here and let my comrades die while I hide!"
"Calm yourself or you will just make it worst lad." Grimoire Weiss uttered." We have are part to play Tanjiro…we must alert the others if someone attacks the ship."
Nezuko saw her brother's dismay before she smiled." Don't worry Tanjiro…are friends know what they are doing."
Tanjiro saw his sister seemed more like herself and smirked." Yah…your right Nezuko. Giyu's Master, Master Ezan seems like a true legendary warrior. I, I think his plan will work."
Kaine smirked as she leaned back." Those mustache loving assholes may be beasts, but they are as tactful as beasts to so they are going to find out to late that they bit off more than they could chew."
Masaki moaned form the ship's bridge before muttering," Man…I hope so dude cause just waiting really sucks! Just…let me know if anything's off. Huh? Hey what you doing girl no one 's allowed in the ship!"
The others saw a girl with a cap wince before she bowed." So sorry sir! Its just…something fell of the ship and it looked really important!"
"Huh what you talking about? It fell through the shield? Hey Aya the Dimensionator did not fall apart again did it?"
"I don't know but, its right…here!"
Megaman leaned in, and saw that while the woman was hooded she looked like Tron. Just as he realized it she slammed the coin on the Hague, and a second later it glowed a golden light. Alarms were heard as Masaki yelled out," Hey what the hell did you, AHH!"
Everyone was mortified as the light covered the entire ship, till suddenly the entire ship was frozen. Rattrap was one of the ones still around before he rubbed his head." Did someone cross the wires or what?"
Rhinox pressed a button on his commlink before the rhino like Maximal frowned." Not even getting static…I am getting some new temporal readings. Its like the ship, and everyone in it is frozen in time!"
Rattrap saw his teammate was not kidding as he realized a new red shield seemed to surround the ship, one with demonic eyes sprouting over it before his eye twitched." What like, how we do statis lock or something? What's, huh?"
He and everyone paused as they heard a sound, and saw a vase with flowers painted on it in front of them before the smaller Maximal moaned." All right who's trying to lug in stuff from Hallowed Bastion into the ship? Now's really not the time and" Fearless leader" is going to chew me off enough as it is!"
Nezuko suddenly narrowed her eyes before she hunched over." Brother…I smell something foul just popped in…I think that vase was touched by demons…the same kind that attacked us in the tram before!"
"Wait…you mean an Upper Rank!?" Tanjiro shout out in shock. "But what the, huh? No wait get away from the vase!"
Sector Nine was still guarding the ship as well, and Major Makoto saw one of her men look at Tanjiro before her sensors went off and she tensed up," He's right, get back Pazu!"
The sector Nine member's leg touched the vase by accident, before a black hand burst out to grasp the man, and pull him right into the vase. Everyone heard a crunching noise, before blood spurt out like a fountain.
After a burp noise was heard Gyokko popped out like a balloon. The demon with mouths on his eyes giggled darkly before licking his lips." Horrible, horrible! Those on the capital planet really are too pure for consumption! Haha, GUH!"
Rattrap instantly blew the Upper Ranked Demon's vase up while he winced." Yah…you make Dino Mutt look like Miss Corneria so get lost!"
While the vase fell to pieces, the same laugh was heard in the distance before Gyokko popped out of another vase." Nice try…but nothing you can do will stop the will of the Shadow Lord!"
Tanjiro got into a fighting stance as he uttered," So Muzan would follow us all the way here? Bring your worst we are not, scared?"
The Demon Slayer's enthusiasm was cut off with the sound of a whimper before Hantengu suddenly staggered and fell in front of them. The demon with a bloated head whimpered before Cheetor growled." Hey this is no time to fake us out! Back me up Sliverbolt!"
The cheeta like maximal took out a blade before a cybernetic condor yelled out," I am transformed!" And became a humanoid purple colored warrior. They both slashed at the third placed Upper Ranked demon but in the blink of an eye Hantengu was above them all clinging to the ceiling, looking mortified." Please stop! Please stop tormenting me! It hurts!"
Despite how much the new demon looked horrified Tanjiro got his blade ready. Don't lose your nerve! This is a demon that's murdered ton's of people! No way he could dodge such elite soldiers attacks otherwise! Hinokami Kagura…Sunflower Thrust!"
Tanjiro unleashed his fire-based strike, and to his shock hit his target without even a attempt to dodge. As Hantengu yelled in pain Nezuko yelled out and kicked him into the wall, and Hantengu yelled even more before 2B ran up and sliced off his head.
The demon just yelled out," My head's cut!" Before the blindfolded woman sighed." Maybe you got were ill suited for the mission demon…but now is no time for mercy for, huh? What!?"
To her and everyone's shock, the two half's of the demon regenerated into much more aggressive and fierce looking demons. Both of them growled before from the distance Gyokko growled out," Sekido, Karaku, its show time!"
Kaine charged at the demons before snarling out," Are all of you Upper demons' twins? Give me a break! Just get, huh?"
Before she could get to Karaku, he revealed he had a wind-based uchiwa fan up his sleeve, and swung it to unleash a massive burst of wind to blast Kaine, and everyone behind her off her feet. As everyone struggled not to get blown away Karaku laughed with murderous glee." HAH! This is going to be fun, eh Sekido?"
His" Twin" Sekido took out a staff khakkhara and slammed it on the ground." There is nothing fun about this. All I'm feeling from this is rage! That also goes for being lumped in with you!"
"Well good thing we split up eh?"
Sekido saw targets coming at him and snarled before lighting burst out of his staff to electrocute everyone around him. Tron saw everyone fall before she giggled." It…its working. It's going to work!"
Megaman saw her before he struggled to get back up." Tron…you're working with these guys? Do you even know what you're doing?"
"Yah…hitting the jackpot! I just have to hand this ship in, and I'll never have to worry about money again!"
"No…stop Tron! This is not just some treasure…it's the key to,"
"Shut up mega dork!" Tron shout out bitterly." I don't care about this universe! It never gave a damn about me so I'll just do whatever it takes to stay one step ahead! And if you or anyone else tries to stop me…I'll crush them! Let's go Bruno!"
Tron jumped into a machine, just as a massive brown robot as large as the Hague formed underneath her before grasping the frozen ship to try and carry it away. As she did, Mahito, Kirinmaru, Aki Hayakawa the" Gun Devil", and a few more demons suddenly walked past her.
Mahito walked past the other demons, looked at all the shocked faces and looked excited." Oh yah…now this is a party! Hanami, hope you and the others brought enough Cursed Womb: Death Paintings for everyone at this party! Glad that the Prison Realm coin did the trick…Geto and the Shadowlord was going to give me hell if I botched this. Sorry everyone…Muzan really wants everyone on that ship alive for one special interrogation. Heh, does not really look that special either.
Oh well…don't worry, everyone here is getting their soul reshaped on the house! Don't fret and be ungrateful and all that, compared to what's in store for everyone else…this will feel like mercy!"
Authors Notes: Got another packed chapter today so let's get started.
Terraxia is indeed the wife Thanos created with the Infinity Gauntlet in the Comic version of the Infinity Gauntlet. While she had a bit role in that, this is another universe and all and I also gave her a few aspects of the Nyx Avatar from Persona 3.
Demigra is from Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Moro is a villain in Dragon Ball Super that's so far only in the Manga, as well as his minions. Genesis is the wife of X-men's Apocalypse, Yondu Udonta is a altered version of the one seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy films, Sinister is also from X-men while the Flood is from Halo and Yomi is from Yu Yu Hakusho, while Tomura Shigaraki is from My Hero Academa, Zeref is one of the central enemies of Fairy Tail while Asura was the main enemy in the Soul Eater anime and manga.
The Cancerverse is from the Marvel even Thanos Imperative. The Cancerverse is a reality where life finally defeated Death. With eternal life being fueled by the Many-Angled Ones, every living being in this universe was corrupted and turned to their servitude, resulting in a universe-wide living corpse.
Masakaki is from the Anime World of C. More or less he invited folks into the " Midas District" to get them to become Entres and make money.
I know the " scuffle" between Sieg, Mary and Terraxia was mostly filler but wanted to show what Sieg's been up to this entire time and all.
Meanwhile Tigerhawk, Dinobot, and Blackarachnia are from Beast Wars, Nightscream and Botanica are from Beast Machines, the Gladiator is from X-men, Green Beetle is well, from Blue Beetle, Rin Okumura is the main lead of Blue Exorcist, and Allen Walker is the main lead of D-Greyman, while Megumi Fushiguro, Panda, and Hanami are from Jujutsu Kaisen.
Hopefully I don't have to explain who Zero is lol.
I know there's a lot of guys" Jumping in" today but wanted to show how many were trying to help stop the invasion.
I'm also aware I'm doing things a bit differently then how Omni-Man had a change of heart in Invincible but, wanted to give Ezan his moment and felt that Omni-man seemed to much of an extremist to change on his own anyway lol, it all comes to a head next time so hope you liked how things unfolded enough to leave a review.
Till then thanks for the ones given so far, and till next time everyone.
