Ragnarok Round 8. So much has happened in so little time.

"The gods stand at three wins!" Announces Heimdall. "And Mankind at four!"

Fiery skulls began appearing throughout the arena. Signaling that a god is making his way out.

Heimdall continues. "The Lord of the Flies himself, folks! This is the one who is destined to bring despair to the human race! The ruler of evil spirits! Even the gods themselves fear his cursed power! And now… that power will finally be unleashed right here!

He is… BEELZEBUB!"

Beelzebub stood emotionless in front of the crowd. He had seen what humankind is capable of, and now he wants a turn. It didn't matter in the slightest that there are now humans fighting alongside the gods in this contest.

Heimdall points to the human side of the arena. "And now introducing the 'Child of Light.' Born in the midst of a stormy night!"

A loud noise could be heard. "This man's intellect brought forth a new kind of magic… called science! From imagination, he created! From illusions, he brought forward the truth! He was the man who tried to bring humanity closer to the gods!

He has made himself a permanent part of history! Everyone! Give it up for… NIKOLA TESLA!"

As he sees mankind's next fighter fly onto the stage, Saitama crosses his arms. "Nikola Tesla, huh? Hmm… I imagine without him, Genos would have never become a cyborg."

Goll looks at him. "You know a cyborg?"

Heimdall continues. "As you all already know, Shadow couldn't keep himself together in the previous round! Let's see if Beelzebub could learn from his mistake and come out victorious! Or maybe he'll fall under Tesla's mighty suit! Let the fated eighth round… begin!"

Tesla stood with a smirk on his face. "I shall show these fine folks in the audience today the true meaning of their potential! Our never ending pursuit of knowledge will prove us capable of surpassing even the gods themselves."

Beelzebub, looking unimpressed, decides to speak out. "Maybe if you had something worth showing, you'd probably come out on top. But everything that's been shown so far with the previous fighters did more than enough to show the limits of humanity. It's just the question on how exactly to pinpoint a weakness."

Saitama scratches his head. "I'd like to hear him say that to MY face."

Beelzebub then closes the distance and tries to strike Tesla with an open palm. Only for Tesla to mostly dodge it. He didn't move fast enough as a dent in his armor is now visible.

Looking down at the fight, Hermes smirks. "These humans thought they had us all figured out, haven't they, brother? They're in for quite a rude awakening and they need to figure out how to deal with what we can throw at them."

"My suit of armor is constructed from what I could only label as 'Superalloy Steel.'" Said Tesla. Now with a concerned look on his face. "Not easily breakable, but you could slice through it like a hot knife through butter. It looks like I'm gonna have to go on the offensive… not even a second to waste."

Tesla then charges forward with a fist raised. His suit of armor is still fully functional despite the minor damage taken earlier. "Plasma Pulse Punch!"

"Impressive!" Heimdall yells. "Tesla is now on the offensive! Beelzebub has no choice but to dodge!"

Beelzebub raises his staff. "Sorath Samekth: Gates of Hell."

"A vibration wall…" Tesla said to himself.

"And with THIS, you'll be broken." Said Beelzebub as he pointed his staff at Tesla. "Sorath Vav: Fallen Angel of Gluttony!"

Saitama could only watch as the two clashed into each other. As much as he wanted humankind to win, he couldn't help but feel curious. Just what is Beelzebub capable of? One look at Tesla's face and he could tell that he was thinking the same thing.

"The super-armored Tesla's down on his knees!" Yells Heimdall.

Saitama looks at Brunhilde. "Hey, uh… Just what can you tell me about that guy's staff? It's one of those divine weapons, right?"

Brunhilde smirks. "You have a good eye, Saitama. Beelzebub is the wielder of the Staff of Apomyius. Depending on which hand he holds it in, he could be indestructible to even the most powerful of attacks or he could unleash an attack unparalleled by any other. Of course, he hadn't fought anybody like… YOU before."

Saitama looks down at Tesla. "He's strong. Stronger than most of the people I've fought throughout my life… But I can tell that it isn't enough."

It was then that Tesla's suit began to glow brightly. Enough for Beelzebub to squint a tiny bit. "It's finally ready… How about I show you what mankind's TRULY capable of…"

A burst of energy could be felt throughout the arena as Tesla expels a ton of electricity from his suit. Encasing both he and Beelzebub in a cage of electricity.

Saitama's eyes widened. "Hmm… You don't see that every day."

Tesla points at Beelzebub. "This 9.63 by 9.63 meter cage is what I like to call the Gematria Zone! Here… you are no god… I am."

What happened next was an eye opening experience. Tesla had managed to teleport before hitting Beelzebub with a punch. It was enough to hurt him, but not nearly enough to kill him.

Beelzebub was quick to stand up. He then held up three fingers, catching Tesla's attention.

"This teleportation of yours has three conditions. Am I right?"

"Oh?" Tesla widens his eyes. "Have you figured it out already?"

"First, you need to build up time in order to activate it." Said Beelzebub. "Right after that last attack… If you had done it a second time and moved to my blind spot to finish me off, you might have been able to kill me, but you did not.

Second, your teleportable locations are limited. Before you performed your initial teleportation, I felt a slight irregularity in your steps. You wanted me in a specific location.

Third, the number of times you can teleport… is limited."

A crashing noise could be heard from Tesla's left hand. Bits and pieces of the suit started to break off and fall to the ground. That didn't stop Tesla from clapping his hands though.

"Bravo!" He said with a passionate voice. "You figured it all out! Now allow me to elaborate further."

Saitama looks upwards. "Oh here we go with this shit."

Tesla continues. "'Tesla Warp' is only possible inside of this Gematria Zone. It can't be performed outside of the zone, or rather, it's far too dangerous. Furthermore, to get to where I even can teleport, I require a large concentration of what I call 'Super Tesla Particles.' This suit of mine is equipped with three 'Super Tesla Coils.' They are what synchronize the particles and allow me… to fly. There are weaknesses of course… The synchronization process can't be shortened to any fewer than sixty-three seconds."

By now, Saitama wanted to hit himself. "Fucking dumbass. Why don't you tell him how to beat you while you're at it?"

"Furthermore…" Tesla looks down at his arm. "Each time I warp, it costs me a coil. I can only warp two more times."

"Are you seriously laying out everything like that?" Said Beelzebub. "You gain absolutely nothing from it."

"Quite the opposite, my partner in combat!" Tesla yells out with a grin on his face. "Humanity has everything to gain by freely shared wisdom! We wouldn't have gotten to where we are today if even a little bit was withheld! This is true no matter where you look! Whether it be in this universe…" He then points at Saitama, who shoots him a flat look. "Or in universes beyond this one!"

Beelzebub then coughs out a noticeable amount of blood. "Oh, don't call me your partner. I'm nobody's partner." He then detaches the skull on his staff. "Humanity… must be annhiliated!"

It was then that Zeus stood up from his seat. "He… He's not going to… That move was branded as taboo in Helheim!"

Tesla could only smile as he felt the vibrations intensifying. "Oh man… I'm getting the feeling something bad is about to happen."

Saitama then shouts down at him. "Really!? What tipped you off, genius!" He then sees Zeus yell out to Beelzebub. "BEELZEBUB! STOP!"

A false god is born.

And the promised land is swallowed up.

According to the legends of the Cannanites.

Original Sin of the Underworld - No. 0

Chaos.

What happened next could only be described as a giant explosion consuming the arena. Saitama couldn't look away. He had seen everything unfold in front of him.

While he couldn't look away, the same couldn't be said for Brunhilde and Goll. He looks at them. "This fight isn't over yet… but it will be soon."

Heimdall then yells out. "The details are currently unclear, but… it would appear that Beelzebub's attack has torn Tesla to shreds! The flame of humanity's hope has been swallowed by the darkness of Helheim!"

Goll just couldn't find the strength to keep standing. "Big sis Gondul…"

"I am quite surprised." A heavily injured Beelzebub speaks to an equally injured Tesla. "That should have killed you. Maybe there's something to this science that I've yet to understand."

Saitama scratches his chin. "Now if only Genos could be equipped with a pair of those Super Tesla Coils. Being powerful enough to repel an explosion like that."

Still holding on to the skull in his hand, Beelzebub nods at Tesla. "You truly are amazing… but this is where it all ends."

Despite being in great pain, Tesla still forces out a smile. "No… non… nein. I reject that. We have no end… We are forever."

Beelzebub then reattaches the skull to his staff. "Let's finish this."

The two then continued their fight. The Gematria Zone could be seen over the arena once more.

"I have the upper hand!" Tesla shouted. "If you fight for much longer, the vibrations that you give up will eventually kill you!"

"I have nothing to lose!" Beelzebub charges forward with his weapon. It only took a second, but Tesla was quick to figure out what's being plotted against him.

"Ampifying vibrations with vibrations? Clever."

He raises his arms to defend himself, but it did little to stop what was coming to him.

"And that was a direct hit, folks!" Yells Heimdall. "Beelzebub's horrendous attack, despite having carved his own body, has hit Nikola Tesla!"

However, despite being in more pain than before, Tesla could only laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! INCREDIBLE! Never had I even considered amplifying vibrations on top of one another! I see! I see! I SEE! This fight has born incredible fruit for my research! Quod Erat Demonstrandum!"

His suit then starts vibrating. Giving off a show of electricity coming off of him. The Super Tesla Coil on his chest began to spin faster. "Well then… let us go forward together… towards the future!"

He then rushes towards Beelzebub and hits him with a series of punches. Beelzebub blocks each one coming his way.

"Ohh…" Saitama's eyes widened. "This is truly a battle of endurance. Whoever drops first… dies."

Heimdall yells out to the crowd. "The 'spear' of the greatest scientist in human history? Or the 'shield' of the strongest god of the Underworld? Will it be destroyed or repelled!? The clash of wills between the gods and humanity sparks!"

Beelzebub went on to overwhelm Tesla, but he had one final trick he could pull off.

"Thank you, God." Tesla thought to himself. "Science has now… EVOLVED!"

As he moved to punch Beelzebub, his right arm was chopped off. But what was even more shocking was that it never hit the ground.

Beelzebub was quick to understand what was really going on: The severed arm teleported and is now been aimed to kill him from behind. It took only a fraction of a fraction of a second, but Beelzebub figured out how to prioritize on what was behind him. Not to worry so much for the front.

His instinct… was correct. He successfully punched a hole right through Tesla's armor. Immobilizing him.

His final coil now shattered, Tesla let out a sigh. "Aw man… I really thought I had you there."

Beelzebub looked down. "Someone like you… wouldn't be satisfied with killing me in a simple way."

Tesla smiles as he looks down at him. "It's been an honor."

Beelzebub retracts his arm before walking away. Still standing, Tesla shouts out to the audience.

"Humanity… Raise your heads! Through this fight… we have evolved once again! As long as we don't give up! In science! In humanity! Ragnarok… will never come!

Humanity… look forward! Humanity… don't stop!

Humanity… Humanity… Humanity ADVANCE FORWARD!"

Those were his last words before fading away to nothing.

Saitama sighs as he looks at the spot where Tesla used to be. "I have to admit it, Tesla… I actually agree with you in almost everything you said… You were just paired up with somebody stronger… Now I have to hope that it doesn't happen again."
