*Madara vs Rizevim*
"Oh my God! this is actually happening, this is legit fucking happening...like am I dreaming or is this legit fucking happening?" These were the words coming from a very excited and eager Issei as he and honestly everyone else couldn't believe what was happening, this was a fight everyone has been waiting for, The Ghost of the Uchiha vs The son of the devil.
"It's moments like these, that makes you grateful for life and grateful that you can draw breath, just so you can see moments like these, I would literally pay to see this and I am going to witness it for free, the world can be so kind." Queen Elizabeth said with a great deal of happiness, being a battle maniac herself, to witness such a battle, it was so beautiful it could bring a tear to her eyes.
"It's about time, Rizevim got off his high horse and do some work, all I have seen from him is just walk around and give orders, it is about time he got his hands dirty as well." Ares said as he was growing tired of seeing Rizevim stay in the background while the rest of them, did the dirty work.
"You do realize there is a reason as to why Rizevim is our leader right? That devil is truly a nightmare, you saw it yourself, when Rizevim told Nyx to stand down, she didn't even hesitate, Nyx is a lot like me, she is a hard head very reluctant to submit, but when it comes to Rizevim of all people, we would gladly get out of the way if he tells us too, never forget that, he is the son of Lucifer." Victoria said looking at Ares from the corner of her eye.
Pandora smiled at what she was seeing, it has been far too long since she has since Rizevim do battle, Pandora was one of the first individuals to join the Old Satan Faction, she has been with him for years and has seen everything from start to finish, and she has especially seen when Rizevim had to get his hand dirty.
"Madara stands no chance." Pandora said with a great deal of confidence and many people especially from the Akatsuki shifted their attention to Pandora as they were curious about her statement.
"And why do you say that?" Tiamat questioned not liking how her chosen one was being underestimated by Pandora of all people, who wasn't even a fighter.
"There is a reason when Rizevim orders us we listen and obey him, as much as he is a gracious leader and very diplomatic, we are also fucking scared of him, after-all Rizevim is of course undefeated, even his father and his older brother the Anti-Christ have both tasted defeat in battle, but Rizevim has never lost, he has always won, no matter who he fights, if he is bold enough to challenge Madara than he knows for a fact he can win, or am I wrong Jesus, you of all people know what your nephew is capable of." Pandora said shifting her gaze to the son of the Holy one.
Jesus just gave Pandora a stoic expression, he was not at all fazed by the words of the lady of chaos.
"Hmph...what you say is the truth Pandora, Rizevim indeed has never lost a fight, after-all he took down Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva here all on his own at the same time and has defeated both Susanoo and Tsukuyomi single handedly, but you greatly underestimate my friend here Madara is like nothing you have seen, and I have said it before and I will say it again, Madara has potential to go even further than me and my father, I have full belief that if my older brother Lucifer revives, Madara will be the one to stop him." Jesus said shifting his attention to Madara's back and the image of his father once again flashed in the mind of son of man.
"His right! No matter what you throw at him, no matter who he has to fight against, no matter the challenge or obstacle, my big brother will never fail, Madara Uchiha is the strongest." Asia said with unwavering conviction.
The rest of Madara's subordinates smiled when they heard Asia's words, she spoke the truth there is no one they have seen that is quite like their leader, the man who has brought all of them together, the man who has given them something to believe and fight for, the man who has given them hope that their future can be better than their past.
(Hiss): "Hmph...(Hiss)...only one way to find out than." Medusa said as she shifted her attention to the two combatants that were ready to dish it out.
Jotunheim as a whole now grew eerily quiet as now everyone and literally everyone decided to shut up and focus on the battle that is about to transpire, from gods, to dragons, to super-humans, to foot soldiers, everyone kept their mouths shut so that they can focus and give all their attention to the battle that was about to happen.
Madara and Rizevim both man didn't dare to blink, they were in such an intense staring competition that everything and everyone around them seemed to have faded away, the manner in which they are so fixated on the other person, they didn't even hear the others speak about them, at this very moment, it was only the two of them who truly mattered.
Madara took the first move and began walking to his right, and Rizevim respond in kind, walking to his right, and the two man looked like boxers circling each other, studying each other, analysing each other, looking for any flaws and weaknesses that each person could take advantage of.
Madara with his Sharingan active, could see the immense power but also Stray-devil energy coming from Rizevim, like he has said before to Hagoromo, Rizevim is by far the most powerful devil he has ever encountered.
Rizevim with his millenniums of life and experience, could sense a calm yet overpowering and dangerous aura from Madara, the leader of the Old Satan Faction could see that Madara had no visible flaw or weakness, it was clear that Madara has been in more fights than there are days in three months, this was going to be a test like no other, he has never come against someone who made his hair stick out like Madara.
The two man kept circling each other, they were taking everything in, from the sounds of their footsteps, to the wind brushing against their face and playing with their hair, to each meticulous movement their body made when they took a step, nothing was left to chance, everything was taken in and absorbed, no detail was ignored.
Both men stopped circling each other, it was about time one of them went for the first move, however both of these men were veteran fighters, they knew rushing in against an opponent of this magnitude and level would be the equivalent of committing suicide, one wrong move and it can be the end of you, as much as they were enemies, they was a mutual respect between the two.
"So how about it then? It is clear neither one of us will make the first move, so let us both just launch at each other at the same time." Rizevim suggested as he could see both him and Madara had the same idea, don't rush for to your opponent, wait for them to come to you, then launch a counter attack.
Madara couldn't help but smirk, as they always say great minds think alike, but even he could see that neither one of them were going to make the first move, so they might as well go for each other at the same time.
"Very well then." Madara said then took one step forward.
Rizevim in turn also smirked and took a step forward to his opponent.
Everything went slow motion for the spectators, it all started so slow, Madara took one step, then Rizevim took one step, then the Ghost of the Uchiha took two, then the leader of the Old Satan Faction took to, then all of a sudden both man were running to each other, this was it, the moment they have been waiting for, the battle between the two titans Madara vs Rizevim.
*Fists Collide*
The two man's fists collided and it created a shockingly large crater beneath them a clash of aura's was also on display with Madara's divine royal blue aura going back and forth with Rizevim's menacing dark maroon aura.
The two man's feet finally touched the ground and a battle of fists and kicks ensued and to the complete surprise of everyone in the Akatsuki Rizevim wasn't even breaking a sweat against one of the best martial artist in the Akatsuki.
Rizevim didn't even need to block any of Madara's fists and kicks, he was completely dodging everything our protagonist was throwing at him, with unbelievable ease and precision, it just looked like Rizevim was a super computer, downloading and analysing all of Madara's moves and then dodging everything accordingly.
The Uchiha stopped and in turn Rizevim stopped as well, he was just waiting for what Madara was planning next.
Madara just took a deep breath and prepared his body for a power he has only used once in this world, a power used by a Tai-Jutsu specialist in the Shinobi world.
"Inner Gates: The Gate of Life Open!" Madara shouted and the entire battlefield trembled by the power Madara was flexing, the Ghost of the Uchiha's hair grew more violent and spiky, his skin turned turned red and he was emitting a green like aura around his person.
"What the fuck is that?" Raynare questioned as she has never seen Madara used this technique before.
Even Jesus was stunned by what he was seeing, the son of the Holy one makes sure to pay a lot of attention to Madara, he has seen a lot of what his friend is capable of, but never has he seen such a power before.
Yasaka and Kunou were next on the list of shocked individuals, it was their first time seeing Madara use something like this, but not only that they were amazed at how the technique was using his Chakra, this technique was making him his body so much stronger in a manner they have never seen before, and of course, Kunou admiring her father, was wondering could she too learn these inner gates her father was using.
Rizevim kept a blank expression, he was not intimidate at what he was seeing, but he will be damned if he underestimate the Ghost of the Uchiha, he was not like Nyx or Cronus, Rizevim knows full well, Madara has many tricks up his sleeve.
Madara sonic boomed his way to Rizevim, leaving a crater from the force of his movements, however just as before Rizevim was dodging everything Madara was throwing at him, granted not with the same ease, but still he didn't need to dodge any of Madara's attacks, he was dodging everything Madara was throwing at him.
Once again members of the Akatsuki were stunned, Madara just displayed a power they have never seen before and still Rizevim was handling it quite well, yes if the leader of the Old Satan Faction makes a mistake, Madara would punish him, but it was clear that Rizevim would not be making any mistakes.
While in the midsts of launching fists and kicks, Madara brought his hands together and created two other wood clones to ambush the son of the devil, and now it was a three versus one, and still to the Akatsuki's shock, Rizevim was handling his own, still dodging everything the three Madaras were throwing at him.
Even Madara was surprised at what he was seeing, he knew that Rizevim was a problem, but he was truly shocked to see that he was dodging everything, not even blocking he was just dodging everything Madara and his clones threw at him, it was just like when Jesus used Ultra Instinct, Rizevim was making Madara fight air.
One of the clones activated the ribcage of the Susanoo and manifested the right hand of the Susanoo to grab Rizevim while the original Madara and the clone kept him distracted, however at speeds many of the spectators could not see, Rizevim blitzed his way out of their, completely avoiding the attack from the wood-clone.
'Speed and Precision, Rizevim's movements are excellent, if it wasn't for the Sharingan I doubt even I could keep track of his movements, this definitely will not be an easy fight to win, but I expect nothing less from the leader of the Old Satan Faction.' Madara thought to himself while focusing on Rizevim.
Rizevim began stretching his neck and fingers to get the blood pumping, he had enough of playing defence, he is the leader of the Old Satan Faction after all, he had a reputation.
(Stretching): "Right then, my turn." Rizevim said and sonic boomed his way to Madara and his speed was so powerful it caused quite a few individuals to lose their footing.
Madara sent his clones to intercept Rizevim and they launched for the son of the devil, however it was futile as Rizevim easily disposed of them as Rizevim punched the final wood-clone, he was caught slightly by surprise as that wood-clone was filled with noxious pollen from Madara's Jutsu deep forest bloom.
Rizevim's unfortunately inhaled the pollen, which immediately got to work effecting the devil's immune system, Madara took advantage of the opening he made and launched for Rizevim.
Rizevim blocked Madara's punch, Madara just kept the onslaught going, however still he could not land a hit on his opponent, all that the pollen seemed to do was just slow down Rizevim, but it was progress, as Madara was now forcing Rizevim to block his attacks instead of dodge.
"Hmph not bad...(block)...but it definitely won't be that easy against me...(Block)...after all the Stray-devil energy in my body acts like an immune system...(Block)...your pollen will be eradicated from my body soon enough." Rizevim said while blocking all of Madara's attacks.
The son of the devil was not lying, as the fight kept going, the pollen was growing weaker in his body, causing him to start performing better and it was back to regular schedule programming, Rizevim was dodging everything Madara was throwing at him.
(Dodge): "Like I said I believe it is my turn to be on the offence." Rizevim's said as he threw a punch at Madara but the speed of the punch forced Madara to block the attack, it was moving too fast for him to dodge.
The tables were turned and Rizevim was launching fists and kicks at the Ghost of the Uchiha, and it was clear to see that Rizevim was making Madara very uncomfortable, our protagonist was basically forced to block all of Rizevim's attacks, and every time Madara blocked an attack by Rizevim, it would leave a sting, there was a lot of power in Rizevim's fists and kicks.
This was the one advantage Rizevim had with having Pandora in his team, her chaotic and destructive energy, essentially blocked Madara from being able to gather natural energy, Sage mode would be a great help to Madara right now, the combination of the Inner gates with Sen-Jutsu would allow the Ghost of the Uchiha to fair better against his opponent.
Since Rizevim could see that the speed of his attacks were to fast for Madara to dodge and was forcing him to block, he decided to coat his fists and feet with his demonic energy to cause even more damage on Madara.
Madara saw this and when Rizevim striked, Madara activated the ribcage of the Susanoo protecting him from Rizevim's attack, but it was clear that Madara's protection would not last as Rizevim's attacks were causing the rib cage to crack and begin crumbling.
"Chidori Stream!" Instantaneously Madara was covered in a high voltage of electricity that was successful in creating space between him and Rizevim as the leader of the Old Satan Faction backed away.
Rizevim created to balls of demonic magic in his hands and launched them towards Madara and they were coming at him with the speed of a sniper bullet, Madara didn't have much time to react, for the time being he deactivated the inner gates and ribcage of the Susanoo and switched on Kamui causing Rizevim's attacks to phase through him.
Victoria took a keen interest at what she just saw, as she has seen someone do the very same thing before months ago.
"So that's where she stole that ability from? Lucky that Diana is a vampire, as long as she drinks your blood, she can steal your power as well, out of all the things you stole from him Diana that ability is not bad, not bad at all." Victoria said as she has always been slightly jealous of Kamui, an ability that allows you to completely phase through anything, that power was too much of a cheat code.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!" With that said a massive wave of scorching hot fire came Rizevim's way and the leader of the Old Satan Faction used the Stray-devil energy in his body to manifest an ethereal demonic sword and he swung his weapon releasing a shock wave causing the wave of fire to split into two.
While Rizevim was focusing on the fire, Madara created a wooden dragon and it launched a sneak attack, sprouting from beneath the devil's feet, and wrapping itself around the leader of the Old Satan Faction, the dragon immediately tried to get to work absorbing as much of Rizevim's power as it could, but that would prove problematic.
Rizevim's energy was too chaotic and corruptive, so something happened that Madara didn't expect, Rizevim's Stray-devil energy entered and took control of Madara's wooden dragon, now making it Rizevim's servant.
"I will take this, thank you very much." Rizevim's said as now the corrupted wooden dragon gently put down it's master and was waiting for orders.
Madara was quite surprised at what he was seeing, he never realized that Rizevim had the ability to turn his attacks against him, this was now going to be tricky for the Ghost of the Uchiha.
"After him!" Rizevim ordered while pointing at Madara, and the wooden dragon got to work launching for it's former master and now enemy.
Madara brought his hands together and performed a cluster of hand signs.
"Wood Style: Wooden Golem Jutsu!"
Instantaneously a giant wooden Golem sprouted from Madara's feet and was now standing tall before Rizevim with Madara on top of the Golem.
As the corrupted wooden dragon was about to strike, the golem grabbed it, the wooden dragon decided to just bite the golem, with the hopes of corrupting it as well, but unfortunately it would not be that easy.
The golem just took the dragon and snapped it into two while looking at Rizevim, ready for what he had next.
'Hmm...that golem is going to be a problem, it's almost as big and dangerous as his Susanoo, I suppose I will need some help in order to level the playing field.' Rizevim thought to himself then snapped his fingers.
Once Rizevim snapped his fingers, Dalinda, the ice dragon that was captured by Diana and Victoria and the little sister of Albion landed behind Rizevim in her enormous dragon form, however the big difference was that she now had an insane amount of Stray-devil energy coursing through her veins, she was much more powerful from her encountered with the two ladies from the Old Satan Faction.
Madara's Sharingan got to work and he could see quite frankly an absurd amount of Stray-devil energy in Dalinda, this was going to be a gruelling test for the wood golem, but he has faith in his creation, after-all Hashirama used it against his Susanoo and when he had the Nine-tails, so the golem has proven itself time and time again.
"Let's go Madara! Let us pick up the tempo!" Rizevim shouted and ordered Dalinda to start charging for Madara and his golem.
Madara responded in kind and the golem roared and began running towards the enemies of Madara.
Dalinda and the golem collided and Madara and Rizevim jumped from their respective allies and launched fists at each other.
*Fists collide*
Madara and Rizevim were truly kicking it up a notch as they were now zipping across the battlefield, they were looking lines colliding with one another to the naked eye and every time they collided a piece of Jotunheim was left to ruin, mountains were giving in to the pressure they fists were producing, mountains were being up rooted and obliterated into tiny splinters.
For the time being things were on a level playing field, due to the fact that the wooden dragon, although became a servant of Rizevim did do what it was initially called for which was to drain a portion of Rizevim's energy, the battle of fists and kicks was a much more even playing ground, at time it even looked like Madara was having the upper hand.
They were blitzing all over Jotunheim, nothing else mattered except the opponent that was in front of them, the spectators were in awe of the sheer brilliance of martial arts they were seeing, neither fighter was making a mistake each punch, each kick, each dodge, each block, each duck and weave it was impeccable like two battle gods dancing before them.
Their battle of fists and kicks was so intense they were even blitzing in-between and through the spectators, and yet oddly enough they were not harmed what's so ever currently Madara and Rizevim were in front of Aphrodite and the goddess of love was caught off-guard, Madara and Rizevim were moving so quick she just froze.
The goddess of love was now caught in-between the fighters and she didn't move a muscle which helped her greatly, as Madara and Rizevim's were launching fists and kicks in whatever opening they could see and yet still not a single attack landed on the goddess of love, she was amazed at how the two man can keep fighting while she is in-between them.
Aphrodite had Rizevim's behind her and Madara in front of her and she just looked at Madara's face and she was astonished at the focus and concentration Madara, it was actually bewitching everything went slow for the Greek goddess of love she just kept watching Madara observing his movements, how he was launching attacks without harming Aphrodite, how he was blocking attacks that would potentially harm Aphrodite and would definitely harm him and he was doing it with such prestige and excellence, it truly was mesmerizing for the daughter of Zeus.
'Amazing, look at how focused he is, I have never seen a man with such driven eyes.' Aphrodite thought to herself.
And just as quickly as Madara and Rizevim's were battling with Aphrodite in-between them, they blitzed away from her, once again zipping all across the battlefield colliding with one another.
To Aphrodite everything went so slow, but in reality things were moving a thousand miles a second, what felt like a couple of minutes for Aphrodite was only just ten seconds, Aphrodite felt like they were in-between the fighters for at least ten minutes, but truly they were only there for ten seconds.
The two fighters returned to their allies, as Dalinda and the wooden golem looked like they were caught in an intense stalemate.
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Bloom!"
Madara's infamous forest grew from the ground and entered the battlefield with impressive speeds, Rizevim remembered very well that the problem with Madara's forest were the flower buds, once they opened he would be in trouble.
"Dalinda! Freeze the forest!" Rizevim commanded as he only has a few seconds until the flower buds were ready to bloom.
The Ice Dragon took a deep breath, then released a spectacular wave of frost breath, instantly freezing Madara's forest, Dalinda didn't stop there, due to her being enhanced with Stray-devil energy, the effects of her forest breath were devastating, the dragon focused her attention on the Madara and the wood golem.
The Uchiha was on limited time as it was only a matter of time until him and his golem are completely frozen, Madara could see that for the time being he would have to abandon his wooden ally, he would return for it, but for now he has to look out for himself, the Uchiha leaped high into the sky, causing him to avoid being frozen by Dalinda, however the wooden golem could not avoid such a fate.
With Rizevim having a dragon, and with Madara being on limited Chakra, our protagonist had to find a way to level the playing field, luckily for him, he had just the solution.
"TIAMAT!" Madara shouted as he reached the peak of his jump and now gravity was doing it's thing.
Tiamat's eyes lit up when she heard Madara call her, she instantly knew what he wanted from her, and she was completely overjoyed and the chance to help her chosen one battle against Rizevim.
Tiamat jumped into the sky and her body burst into blindingly bright blue flames, the brightness of her transformation was so intense, it looked like Tiamat transformed into a star.
Amaterasu looked on and was in awe of Tiamat's transformation she could see that her flame shined brighter.
"Beautiful...(Short Pause)...just what is it about Madara Uchiha that makes your flame shine so bright Tiamat?...(Short Pause)...I just cannot understand it, you are a woman, you don't need a man like him to slow you down...(Wincing)...Yasaka, Kunou, Asia...please tell me why would you allow that man to enter your life? You ladies are powerful enough on your own." Amaterasu said still laying down receiving treatment from Asia.
Asia: "Never."
Amaterasu just shifted her attention to the blonde Uchiha and gave her a curious look.
"Big brother is everything to me, he is my rock, he is my salvation, when I was alone, hungry and abandoned he was there to comfort me, he was there to take me in, he was there to love me...(Tears forming)...Madara Uchiha is the best thing that ever happened to me, I am stronger today because he was there when I was at my weakest and lowest, I don't know why you hate men so much lady Amaterasu but my big brother, is the greatest man I have ever known." Asia said while shedding a tear of joy and of pride, as she was so proud to be the little sister of the man she admires most.
"Oh my friend...(Short Pause)...your relationship with men has been a difficult one, but no matter what I will always tell you this Amaterasu, that not all men are evil and manipulative, Madara, gave me a belief that I have never had before, he returned to me a hope I gave up a long time ago, he instilled a power in me, I couldn't reach on my own, he may not be the perfect man, but to me he is the ultimate man, I would gladly go to the ends of the earth, he is the reason I am strong today, he is the reason I fight for a better future, both he and my darling Kunou here is the reason that I will never give up no matter what, Madara is my love and it is such a privilege to say those words." Yasaka said while placing her hand above her heart as she could feel her heart beat increase as she kept speaking about our protagonist.
"Aunt Amaterasu, Papa is the man that has done the job that other men have failed to do, to show me what a man is capable of, Papa is everything I believe a father should be, he is strong, he is wise, he is ambitious, he is protective, he is caring, he is a leader, he shoulders the responsibility of taking care of me and Mama, ever since Papa has come into my life...(Slight chuckle)...I cannot explain it, he just makes me so happy, I just want to be around him all the time and every day when I am in his presence I feel rejuvenated, when it's time for me to go to sleep, I just wish it could go by quickly, so I can wake up the next morning and be with Papa again, I just love him so much and grateful to have him in life, I am grateful to have Yasaka as my mother and Madara as my father." Kunou said revealing such a bright and beautiful smile, Amaterasu truly has never seen before.
The Shinto goddess studied the three ladies in front of her and she could genuinely feel their emotion, there was nothing false about how they feel, they love the man called Madara Uchiha, and no matter how many times she can see that Madara is positively impacting the lives of so many woman, Amaterasu just cannot understand it, it just seemed like blasphemy to her, she just cannot accept a woman living in harmony with a man.
"Just watch and see Amaterasu, watch the impact a man has on a woman and the impact a woman has on a man, pay attention to Tiamat and watch how she performs when she has Madara with her and watch how Madara performs when he has Tiamat with him." Yasaka said looking down at her friend with a confident smile.
*Boom*
Tiamat's flames grew larger and larger until eventually everyone could see them taking the form of a colossal dragon, eventually the flames subsided and everyone now could see the gigantic form of the Khaos Karma Dragon god, but there was quite a few noticeable, firstly there was much more shine and colour to her scales, her wings were much more larger, almost twice as big as before with streaks of platinum splashed all over the wings, everyone also noticed that her claws and teeth were also platinum and they would glisten in the light of the moon and to end it off, they could all see Tattoos of Madara's name written in the dragon tongue all over her body.
Tiamat flew to Madara, and the Uchiha graciously landed on the head of his dragon, Tiamat then landed at the to of a mountain and gave a thunderous roar that shook the very core of Jotunheim.
Tiamat's roar was so loud that quite a few individuals present had to cover their ears, the Khaos Karma Dragon's roar seemed to reach a new level of volume, it truly was spectacular.
"Tiamat has changed." Jesus said admiring the blue dragon.
"Must be the after affects of the dragon ritual." Azazel said as he too was impressed at what he was seeing from Tiamat.
"From a king to a god, let us witness the divinity of Tiamat." Buddha said making sure to pay close attention to Madara and his dragon.
Rizevim looked on, completely un-bothered yes Tiamat might be a dragon god now, however Rizevim spent days pumping Dalinda with Stray-devil energy, Dalinda as well was a force to be reckoned with.
The two teams stared each other down, Madara focused on Rizevim's and the son of the devil had his eyes on the Ghost of the Uchiha, the Khaos Karma dragon locked sights with the Ice dragon and the little sister of Albion refused to look away from Madara's dragon.
"Inner Gates: Gate of View Open!"
Madara's body once again went through a transformation with his hair growing more wild and spiky, his skin turning more red and him giving off an overwhelming powerful aura.
Madara: "DANCE!"
Rizevim: "ADVANCE!"
Tiamat& Dalinda: (Both ROAR)
*Massive Collision*
The two dragons charged for one another and collided via head butt, Madara and Rizevim immediately jumped off their dragons and collided via their fists and once again the battle for victory ensued.
Madara and Rizevim were blitzing all over the battlefield engaging in their game of fists and kicks and this time, Madara was doing so much better, due to Madara opening the fifth gate, he was absolutely making Rizevim sweat, The Uchiha's movements, speed, power and accuracy were starting to become a serious problem for Rizevim.
Rizevim had to play defence in this situation, he was blocking everything Madara was throwing at him, however our protagonist was not making it easy, Rizevim's focused all his demonic energy to his body, he had to stay on his toes as one hit from Madara may prove costly.
The Uchiha had to admit he was impressed, although he seemed to have the advantage, Rizevim was doing quite the job keeping up with him and handling everything he was throwing at Rizevim, every punch, jab, hook, uppercut, every feint, every kick, Rizevim was reading all of it and blocking accordingly, it's almost like he has a Sharingan of his own.
*Fists Collide*
Madara and Rizevim's were locked in a stalemate staring each other down.
(Slight Panting): "I can see it in your eyes...(Slight Panting)...you are shocked that I can keep up with you isn't it?...(Slight Panting)...like I said Madara, there is a reason I am the leader of the Old Satan Faction." Rizevim's said with a drop of sweat running down his face.
'He keeps up with me, like how Hashirama would in the past, me coming into this battle with half my strength was not wise, the longer this keeps going the more the Jutsu runs out, but I just can't find an opening, Rizevim looks like he has the endurance of a Senju, but the Tai-Jutsu of an Uchiha, this is bad.' Madara thought to himself while looking eyes with Rizevim.
(Chuckle): "Like I said, no matter what Madara throws at Rizevim he is going to lose, I will give respect to your friend Jesus, he is an absolute monster and probably the biggest threat to the Old Satan Faction, however the second he accepted Rizevim's challenge he lost the battle." Pandora said smirking at the son of the Holy one.
"She is not speaking nonsense, there is a reason why Rizevim usually hangs back and allows us to do the fighting, it's not because he is weak or a lazy leader, Rizevim operates like a super computer, he sits and watches, analyses, observes and plans, yes it is true that his father Lucifer is stronger and much more intelligent than Rizevim, however Rizevim is much wiser than his father and older brother, no matter what, Madara is going to lose this fight, as the battle keeps going, Rizevim is learning, studying and adapting to Madara, that is why Rizevim has no weakness he is like water he will take whatever shape need be, to ensure success, the longer this battle goes on the less Madara has an advantage." Nyx said paying close attention to the two combatants.
The Greek goddess of the night spoke the truth, Madara and Rizevim's engaged in another round of fists and kicks and it was going back to our regularly schedule programming, Rizevim was growing and getting more comfortable in the battle, and just like before he was now dodging everything Madara was throwing at him, it just seems like Rizevim starts off slow then as the fight keeps going he adapts and can handle anything Madara throws at him.
'An opponent that gets better the longer the fight keeps going, this is definitely a unique challenge, not only that but I'm on limited time, due to the Jutsu...(Chuckle)...quite the predicament I have found myself in...Hmph...but this is what I live for, overcoming such obstacles.' Madara thought to himself.
The two man clashed one more time then retreated to their dragons to have a good old battle of supremacy.
Madara : "Fire!"
Tiamat's and Dalinda took a deep breath and released a wave of their infamous powers.
Tiamat's released scorching blue flames from her mouth and it collided with Dalinda's sub-zero wave of ice and both attacks battled it out for domination with both of them going back and forth.
Rizevim's got on one knee and placed his right hand on Dalinda's head and began powering Stray-devil energy into the Ice dragon, giving her more fuel and it was causing her attack to push Tiamat's fire back.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
Madara brought his hands together, took a deep breath and released a wave of his iconic fire, adding it to Tiamat's blue flames, changing the colour to a blazing purple that was doing incredibly well against Dalinda's Ice.
The combination of fire and ice colliding was causing a massive amount of steam to be produced and with the attacks coming from dragons, the steam was incredibly thick and dense that it created a fog that spread throughout Jotunheim.
The moister is the air, caused everyone to sweat a bit and cause their clothes to be damp and wet, for many of the males in Jotunheim, they had to use extreme self-control, as with the clothes being wet and damp, much more of the women's bodies were being revealed.
Amaterasu watched the combination of Madara's and Tiamat's fire and she was just astonished at what she was witnessing, it was just like in Olympus, the fire those two could produce was nothing to joke about, it was just exceptional.
Rizevim had enough of playing games and just increased the output of Stray-devil energy he was giving Dalinda and the ice dragons eyes glowed bright blue and her ice reach a new degree of cold, even Rizevim's body was beginning to feel some discomfort from how cold his dragon's attack was.
Dalinda's wave of Ice was pushing the purple flames of Madara and Tiamat, it was unfortunate that Madara could not gain Sen-Jutsu if he was in Sage mode, he could at least balance the scales, but with Pandora's energy that would just be impossible, it looks like the Uchiha has no choice, he will have to use a Jutsu that is just going to eat away at his Chakra.
"Inferno Style: Flame Control!"
Within seconds Madara's infamous black flames entered the battle and joined in the combination of Madara's and Tiamat's purple flames and from then on it was game over for team Rizevim and Dalinda, as the black flames was just eating away at Dalinda's wave of ice, no matter how much she pushed the Amaterasu was making ground and it was only a matter of time until both her and Rizevim are engulfed in the flames.
The Shinto goddess instantly rose to her feet, granted with extreme difficulty, as this was the first time she has seen Madara's infamous black flames and she was completely blown away by the power of those black flames.
(Wincing): "What is that fire?" Amaterasu questioned out loud as she has never, in all her life ever seen something like Madara's flames.
"That is Madara's fire, my friend, the fire he believes is better than yours." Yasaka said helping her best friend up and putting her left arm over her shoulders.
"A human with flames that rival my own? I just cannot understand it, what is it about this human? Where hell does Madara Uchiha even come from?! Even I have flames that burn stronger than Bahamut's...(Shakes Head)...do you understand that? he is the strongest dragon in all existence and yet, a human, not a dragon, not a demon, not even a god, a human has flames that equal my own?" Amaterasu said in complete disbelief.
"Yes my friend, a human...(Slight Chuckle)...and that very human will save this damaged world of ours, that I am sure of, he might be a human to you, but to so many of us, he is the strongest among us all, one day Amaterasu I hope you will see Madara for who he is, a man that you can place your faith in." Yasaka said shifting her attention to Madara and smiling at watching the man she loves fight for a dream he holds dearly.
Amaterasu saw the look on Yasaka's face, then shifted her attention to our protagonist and for the first time, Amaterasu could see the determination and unyielding spirit held in the eyes of the Uchiha.
'Huh...I guess he wasn't joking when he said he had flames he believed are superior to mine, I suppose I should take his challenge serious and one day we should see who's fire is superior, strong or not, I will never be outdone by a human, and more specifically a man...never.' Amaterasu thought to herself while watching the clash between the two attacks.
Dalinda and Rizevim were doing everything they can in order to slow down the attack of Madara and Tiamat, however even if the flames never reach Rizevim and Dalinda, Madara could still very much win this, due to one crucial thing, the change in temperature.
With Madara adding Amaterasu to his and Tiamat's attack, it added some heat to the environment and unbeknownst to Rizevim, Madara's forest and wood golem that was frozen by Dalinda, were slowly becoming free from the Ice that has imprisoned them.
The fog was completely insane now, many individuals could not see the two teams battling it out any more, they could still here the attacks colliding but visually they could only see what was immediately in front of them and what is around them.
This also worked in Madara's favour as Rizevim could not see the ice on the golem and forest begin to melt and it was only a matter of time before Madara had his Jutsus working to his advantage again.
'Damn it, those black flames he used against Nyx, to this day I have not found a counter to those flames, even Nyx said she has never encountered flames like these before, there must be a way out of this situation, every problem has a solution I must just find it.' Rizevim thought.
While Rizevim was deep in his head, the ice on the golem and forest completely melted and that's when it hit Rizevim, Madara was stalling for time, so the ice would melt on his Jutsus he saw the forest coming back to life and wooden golem making it's way to Dalinda so it could ambush their team.
Everything just slowed down for the son of the devil, he looked to his left and saw Madara's wooden golem charging towards him, he looked ahead of him and saw that Dalinda was doing everything she can to delay Madara's and Tiamat's attack, he then looked to his right and saw that the flower buds of Madara's forest were ready to bloom and spread their poisonous pollen which would most definitely cause problems for the leader of the Old Satan Faction, no matter how he looked at it, Rizevim was backed into a corner.
"Hmph...looks like I have no choice, I was hoping to save one of my trump cards, but against Madara, that doesn't look like it is possible." Rizevim said to himself as he had only seconds left until one of Madara's attacks gets him and Dalinda.
"Invalidation of the Devil!"
Once those words exited Rizevim's mouth, quite a number of members from the Old Satan Faction smirked, as that could only mean that their leader is getting serious, instantly a wave of demonic energy originating from Rizevim's began to spread outwards to all the things he deemed a threat and once the wave of energy hit all he desired they became threats no more.
Once the wooden golem, the forest and the fire attack of Madara and Tiamat were hit with the "Invalidation of the Devil." they were completely null and void, the wood golem just stopped it's charge and stood their motionless, Madara's forest which was literally one second from blooming, completely stopped, almost as if Rizevim pressed the pause button on Madara's Jutsu and as for Madara's and Tiamat's flames, they completely disappeared like they were never there, causing Dalinda's to have free access to freeze the opposition.
Madara quickly switched off the inner gates and awakened the Susanoo to cover both him and Tiamat, so that they wouldn't be frozen by Dalinda's attack, but Dalinda's ice breath was not Madara's concern, Rizevim's demonic wave was the real problem and Madara had to get out of it's range as quickly as possible.
"Tiamat! Retreat Now!" Madara ordered and his Khaos Karma Dragon flapped her massive wings and took to the skies, landing on the top of a nearby mountain that was a safe distance from Dalinda and Rizevim's demonic wave.
Madara's Sharingan got to work, breaking down and analysing what in Jotunheim is up with Rizevim's ability, it completely cancelled out all Madara was throwing at his opponent.
Jesus was up next, as he has never seen such from his nephew, he does recall his older brother Lucifer having the ability to corrupt and destroy enemy attacks, but he believed that was only exclusive to God's number one enemy, although this ability is not exactly like Lucifer's it looks like it works fundamentally the same.
"What the fuck is that?" Penemue questioned as she and many others were surprised that Rizevim was able to stop Madara's attack.
(Hiss): "It's called "Invalidation of the devil."...(Hiss)...one of Rizevim's trump card and an ability he has used on many of us, to beat us in submission...(Hiss)...it is demonic magic inspired by his father and older brother." Medusa said with her snakes hissing in anger as they remember Rizevim used this ability against them, making Medusa's famous ability, completely useless and irrelevant.
"Explain." Jesus demanded as he wanted to understand the inner workings of Rizevim ability.
(Scoffs): "Gladly, Invalidation of the devil, is an ability created by Rizevim and is unique to him alone, while his father and his older brother have the ability to completely breakdown and corrupt an enemy's attack when in contact with it, Rizevim has a version of his own...(Clears Throat)... Rizevim releases a wave of demonic energy from his body and when it makes contact with whatever he targets, his demonic energy enters the target and begins working on a molecular level, filling said target with demonic energy, completely nullifying it, now he doesn't corrupt it like his father he just neutralizes it." Pandora explained while smirking at Jesus.
'Hmm...so I was right, it is almost like elder brother's attack, because even his demonic energy would corrupt whatever he touched on a molecular level, but the difference with Rizevim's attack is that it doesn't look like he needs to be in contact with a target, he just creates a wave around him, this basically makes him untouchable, quite the problem.' Jesus thought to himself while shifting his attention back to his nephew.
"I'm assuming that no matter what physical attacks Madara throws at Rizevim's as long as he has that wave of demonic energy surrounding him, he can nullify all attacks?" Vishnu questioned.
Erebus: "You got that right."
"What's next my chosen one?" Tiamat questioned as this was now a complicated position they found themselves in, all physical attacks are basically rendered useless against Rizevim's "Invalidation of the devil."
Madara was seriously running out of options, not only in terms of what he can throw at Rizevim's but also in terms of time, Madara's Chakra was beginning to run low, if this carries on he will be out of Chakra and his Jutsu will be over, forcing him back to his original body, he needed to end this battle quickly before it was too late, but the question was how.
'I doubt Gen-Jutsu would work on someone like Rizevim, it seemed like he has eliminated his body and mind of all weaknesses, the only things I could genuinely use against him, is space-time Nin-Jutsus, however, Kamui and Flying Raijin will deplete my already limited Chakra reserves, I must dance cautiously from now on.' Madara though to himself.
"What's the matter Madara? you don't seem like one who is very easily startled, or has my ability caught you off-guard? Well if you don't come to me, I will just go to you." Rizevim said then jumped of Dalinda's head and sonic boomed his way to Madara.
The Uchiha quickly brought his hands together and created 25 wood-clones that, including himself spread throughout the battlefield in order to confuse the second-born of the devil and buy the Uchiha time in order to formulate a plan, but unfortunately for our protagonist Rizevim could tell which one was the original Madara, and he was not about to give the Uchiha a moment to breath, Rizevim revealed his demonic wings and blitzed straight for the original Madara with the intention of having his demonic energy consume Madara on a molecular level.
Madara could see that Rizevim had a lock on him, therefore whether he liked it or not, he would have to use space-time Nin-Jutsu even though his Chakra reserves were running low, Madara quickly activated Kamui and de-materialized his entire body, Rizevim was now inches away from his opponent and stretched out his hand intending to grab Madara's neck, however the son of the devil just phased through the Uchiha much to his annoyance.
(Exhausted Sigh): "Now that is yet another ability I have not found a counter for, the fact that you can make yourself like a phantom at times is quite vexing." Rizevim said as he clenched his fist and turned around to look Madara in the eye.
The Uchiha gave Rizevim his classic stoic expression, giving the impression that everything is under-control, but Madara knew he was on a time limit, his Chakra was running low, but he was at least fortunate to use this version of Kamui, as de-materializing your body is less demanding the warping things in and out the Kamui dimension, de-materializing his body at least bought him time to think of a plan.
Rizevim looked at Madara with a rather annoyed and impatient look.
(Scoffs): "Don't tell me that the Great Madara Uchiha, is just going to act like a sad timid ghost, come make yourself whole again Madara, so we can engage in battle once again unless you are just going to show everyone present here, especially your followers that you are a coward and fear the might of the Old Satan Faction." Rizevim said intending to rile the Uchiha.
Madara just closed his eyes and raised his head to the sky, no matter how much he looked at it he was in a corner, time was running out and he had enough Chakra to do one last powerful assault, then he would return back to his normal body back in Valhalla.
Madara was deep in thought trying to think of a solution to this problem, but that's when a voice he knew very well entered his head and spoke to him words that he heard when he was dying in the Shinobi world.
'We didn't need to reach our dreams ourselves, It was far more important to cultivate those who would come after us, to whom we could entrust our dreams.'
'Hmph...your words again echoing in my mind Hashirama, entrust others huh? Perhaps that may very well be my only choice in this situation...(Deep Breath)...very well then, I will do what I can and trust the others to do the rest.' Madara said to himself then turned around and shifted his attention to the members of the Akatsuki and more importantly, all those that are close to him.
Madara ordered his 25 wood-clones to go to the members of the Akatsuki, to inform them about the Uchiha's final play.
Madara Clone: "Christ."
Jesus turned to the wood-clone and gave it his full attention.
"Speak to me Madara."
Madara Clone: "This is it for me, this is my last dance."
"...(Short Pause)...What do you mean this is your last dance? What are you getting at?" Jesus questioned as he was mightily confused by Madara's words.
Madara Clone: "Listen, I am running low on Chakra, that body of mine is close to reaching it's limit and once it is completely dry of Chakra I will return back to my body in Asgard, I will still keep the Jutsu activate so the rest of you can fight and extract Baldur, but as for me, this is my final play, I have enough Chakra in my body to launch one final assault, but after that, my dance is over I entrust the success of this mission to the rest of you."
Jesus paused and digested Madara's words, even though he didn't like it, the son of the Holy one would prefer having Madara with them in this battle for Baldur until the end, but he ultimately understood, if the Uchiha believed this was the best move, the surely it must be, all he can do now is accept Madara's trust and not let his close friend down.
(Deep Exhale): I see...(Short Pause)...so be it then, you can place your faith in us Madara, we will not allow the Old Satan Faction to win, we will prevail." Jesus said with a confident smile and extended his hand out for a handshake.
Madara's clone just looked at the hand and chuckled at what Jesus was doing, he too gave Jesus a confident smirk and connected his hand to the son of men, solidifying their friendship and trust in one another.
Other members of the Akatsuki and Madara's companions had varying and mixed reactions to Madara's final play.
Issei felt a great honour that his Sensei is putting his trust in him, it means a lot to the Red Dragon Emperor that the man he wishes to emulate is going to do everything he can and entrust the rest to his student.
Asuka felt a slight sense of worry and anxiety, the Toriyama is way more comfortable fighting with Madara than without out him, it just seemed like having Madara around even if he is just watching over her, fills her with so much comfort and confidence, it's one thing to fight without Jesus, but to not even have Madara around that is a tall order for her, but nevertheless, she will do the best she can for the man that saved her life.
Asia, Kunou and Mittelt, didn't like what they heard one bit, to them Madara matters much more than the mission and the life of Baldur, as selfish as it seems the ladies couldn't help it, they want Madara with them at all times, they absolutely have no idea how long this mission might take, it could go on for days and for them, that is just unacceptable, for them Madara is a crucial person in their hearts and any separation no matter how small is greatly not desired.
The likes of Buddha, Ra, Azazel, Sirzechs, and Michael, all nodded understanding Madara's decision, although it will be a massive blow to not have the Uchiha for the rest of the operation, though they did appreciate that Madara is trusting them with the hardest and most important part of the mission, to fend of the Old Satan Faction and get Baldur out of Jotunheim and into safety.
Raynare and Kalawarner, were truly feeling the pressure, Madara already trusted them before, with the battle against the Valkyries and both fallen angels lost, and now this time Madara was trusting them with an even bigger task, the two ladies lost quite a bit of self-confidence when they were defeated by the Valkyries, especially after giving Madara their word that they would win, so for Madara to trust them with another individual's life was not helping their insecurities, they just prayed that they would not fail their leader again.
And finally the ladies, the likes of Yasaka, Tiamat, Athena, Aphrodite, Elizabeth, and Gabriel, they all felt some level of sadness and discomfort when they heard Madara's words, they enjoyed having Madara around, they enjoyed and appreciated his presence, just like the younger ladies, they don't know how long this operation will take, it could very well be days, and all of them to some degree would miss him terribly, the only comfort they took was the fact that after this Madara would be safe and eventually they will return to their original bodies and be with Madara again, it was saddening, but they accepted that this is the only way forward.
Once everyone got the message the original Madara brought his hands together, dispelling the wood-clones, saving all his Chakra for this final push against Rizevim.
"Hmph...about time you got rid of your clones, it's time we get serious, don't you agree?" Rizevim questioned stretching his neck.
"Indeed." Madara responded.
The Uchiha then turned around once more to look at the Akatsuki and his companions.
"I entrust the rest to you all." Madara said looking at different faces of his comrades and seeing that they held all different kinds of emotions.
Rizevim raised his brow in confusion as he was wondering what Madara meant by that, it sounded like the Uchiha was making a last stand.
Madara then focused his attention back to Rizevim as it was time to initiate his last dance.
"Very well then, shall we gate started...(Deep Breaths)...Inner Gates: Gate of Wonder Open!"
*Massive Shaking*
To describe what Jotunheim was experiencing after Madara uttered those words would be an impossible task, the whole realm was truly at his mercy as Madara's power forced the land of the giants into submission.
The very core of Jotunheim shaked, vibrated and yielded to the Ghost of the Uchiha, the earthquake the land of the giants was experiencing, there was no words to describe it, Madara's power was causing cracks and openings to appear on the ground, the vegetation, all manner of plant life and trees were falling into the cracks and being swallowed up by the earth.
The ancient and impeccable infrastructure, from buildings, to homes, to temples to monuments to even the royal palace of Jotunheim, all of them were not saved by the force of Madara opening the inner gates, for some the structures they were developing cracks and openings, for others chunks and pieces of the infrastructure were coming off and the majority of them were just full on buckling and crumbling from the pressure of the inner gates.
Jotunheim was shaken and it was clear for all to see and feel, quite a number of the Old Satan Faction's foot soldiers lost their balance and fell into the openings in the ground, it just seemed like the earth swallowed and devoured them up as they never seemed to resurfaces again.
Other foot soldiers dropped to their knees as they just couldn't handle all the pressure Madara was giving off, it felt so overpowering and suffocating for them, they knew Madara was strong, but to produce this amount of pressure was something godly.
"HAAAAAAAA!"
Madara released a thunderous roar, that pushed Rizevim back, the leader of the Old Satan Faction's eyes widened in absolute amazement, he looked down to his feet and just saw them skidding and being pushed back and digging deeper into the soil.
"What power is this?" Rizevim questioned, he was fully expecting Madara to use the Rinnegan or use the Susanoo, but what he was witnessing right now was truly unexpected, it just looked like a transformation that added to his already incredible power.
What the spectators saw truly stunned them, Madara's hair was just incredible now, with it being more spiky and wild but also growing all the way to his knees, his skin turned red and the sweat he was producing plus the heat he was giving off, combined to give of what looked like an intense blue aura that surrounded his body.
Yasaka and Kunou, being chakra users and both having Nine-tails Chakra mode were both able to sense that Madara was literally pouring every single drop of Chakra he had into the Inner gates, they could see that the Uchiha was not lying, this definitely was his last attack.
As for the rest of his companions they were truly amazed at what they were seeing, of course they know by now to expect the unexpected from Madara, but this was a completely different level from what they are used to, the likes of Kunou, Issei and Asuka were wondering that would it be possible for Madara to teach them this power.
Even the members of the Old Satan Faction were concerned at what they were seeing, but some of them were interested, especially Nyx, the goddess of the night has not forgotten the humiliation she has received from Madara, she would've loved to go against the power the Uchiha was demonstrating, however for now though she will just watch her leader take care of business, assuming that he can.
Next up was Thrum, the king of the giants has never seen a human being hold so much power, the king of the giants has always respected humans for their never die spirit and going beyond their fear, but even they have limits, Madara right now was breaking the very belief system the king of the giants and other giants have about the human race, it is just unimaginable, a human's power was causing Jotunheim was quiver and be rearranged, after this battle Thrum and his people are going to have to rebuild their realm and fix all the damage caused by a human of all entities.
*Massive Shaking*
Madara could feel his body starting to breakdown, even though his consciousness was in a wood-clone body he could still feel the pain of the Inner gates, his muscles felt like they were being torn and twisted apart, his cells were screaming in pain and agony, his bones felt like they are being chiselled away into tiny pieces, this assault against Rizevim would not last long, therefore he needs to do as much damage as possible on the leader of the Old Satan Faction.
The Uchiha now controlled his breathing and focused his attention on Rizevim, it seems like Madara is finally done powering up, it was time to finish this once and for all.
"Huh...seems like you are do..." Rizevim was not allowed to finish his sentence as before even a nano-second could go by Madara blitzed his way to Rizevim and punched the son of the devil in the face, shattering his jaw and instantly sending him flying.
Rizevim's voyage in the air was short lived as Madara appeared above the leader of the Old Satan Faction and pummelled him into the ground, showing no mercy to his opponent.
Rizevim landed and created a massive crater, no rest was allowed for the son of the devil as Madara came after him, the Uchiha came full speed landing with his feet on Rizevim's stomach, which caused Rizevim's to spew out jugs of saliva from his mouth.
Madara was relentless on his opponent, landing punch after punch on Rizevim's face and the more fists Madara landed on Rizevim the deeper the crater went causing both of them to sink deeper and deeper into the soil.
*Bang Bang*
Madara's punches sounded like gunshots, his attacks were moving so quick that they were going beyond the speed of sound, every hit he landed produced a sonic boom and a wave of pressure that vibrated all throughout Jotunheim.
Members of the Old Satan Faction could only watch on in shock, this was incredible, never and literally never have they seen their leader being man-handled and abused to this extent, it's scary what they were seeing, a human is punishing the son of the devil.
As Madara was about to land another hit, he felt a sharp pain in his right ribcage which caused him to stop mid punch and that was the breather, Rizevim needed as he quickly gifted the Uchiha with an uppercut that sent our protagonist to the sky.
The leader of the Old Satan Faction climbed out of the crater he was being punished in, and took the opportunity to catch his breath, and truly he need it, Pandora was distraught at what she was seeing, Rizevim's face was all bloody and bruised and it was clear for all to see that his jaw was broken, the son of the devil, switched off "Invalidation of the devil." and focused all his Stray-devil energy on healing his face and injuries.
Madara while mid-air caught his bearings and quickly punched the air, causing him to descend to the earth at bullet like speeds and the Uchiha landed gracefully, focusing his attention back on his opponent.
Rizevim checked that his jaw was back in place and once the Stray-devil energy was healed all his injuries his eyes were fixated on our protagonist.
Madara: "Dance!"
Rizevim: "Let's Settle this!"
*Fists Collide*
The two man traded fists and and the mountain beside them was complete obliterated by the force their attack.
Once again the two man were blitzing all over the battlefield exchanging fists and kicks, but this time to the surprise of the Old Satan Faction, it was not one-sided, Madara was landing some intense hits and doing some serious damage to their leader.
Madara had no regard for his well-being, Rizevim as well was landing some devastating hits on the Uchiha, however Madara didn't care all that mattered was damaging Rizevim as much as possible, there was no time for him to dance gracefully, it was all about dancing aggressively.
"Kunou my baby." Yasaka called out to her daughter.
"Yes Mama?" Kunou responded now looking at her mother.
(Warm Smile): "Look at him, look at your father, look at how hard he fights, look at how much punishment and pain he is willing to endure, how much he is willing to sacrifice and give up for his dream, a dream of peace, a dream that you will be able to enjoy, your father fights for a world were you won't have to go through what he went through, a world where you will be free to enjoy your life, never forget this my baby, your father fights for you, your father is willing to endure all this pain, so you won't have to, your father is willing to risk his life so you will be able to live on, always remember this my precious daughter, this is the greatest love a parent can have for their child." Yasaka said with her producing a tear as she was in love with how much Madara is willing to fight for his dream of peace.
Kunou paused and allowed her mother words to sink into her psyche, they were truly some heavy words, the young nine-tails the shifted her attention to the battle of Madara and Rizevim and truly she could see what her mother meant, she could see in Madara's eyes that no matter what, he is willing to fight and die for his dream of peace and the beautiful thing about it was that Kunou will inherit and enjoy his dream, her father's dream will have such a positive impact on her life, Kunou can only imagine the pain and suffering Madara went through and the Uchiha was fighting so that she will never have to experience those horrors.
Madara: "HAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Rizevim: "HAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The two combatants head-butted and yet another mountain was destroyed by the force their collision.
For a good minute their foreheads were glued to one another and both man looked at each others eyes with rage and fury.
Thrum knew that this operation against the Akatsuki would hurt Jotunheim, but he never knew that it would hurt his home this much, Jotunheim was turning into a wasteland, as Madara and Rizevim were brawling, mountains were being destroyed, trees are being uprooted other vegetation are being swallowed up and devoured by the earth, and the land itself was opening up and creating craters and chasm, the land of the giants was being eaten away and destroyed, this truly showed that there is no turning back for Thrum and his giants, they absolutely have to win against Madara and the Akatsuki and win Ragnarok, in order for them to have a better future and potentially a better home, as there current one was dying before their eyes.
Madara and Rizevim launched fists at one another and both hits connected causing both men to experience absolutely dreadful amount of pain, after a few seconds both combatants recovered and once again launched their fists at each other and once again the same result occurred, both hits land, but this time the hits were so serve that both men were pushed away by quite some distance.
Rizevim dropped to one knee in order to catch his breath as this battle was demanding quite a lot from the leader of the Old Satan Faction.
Madara clenched his chest, his breathing was ragged and chaotic, this brawl against Rizevim and the use of the Inner gates was truly taking its tool on the Uchiha, Madara was running out of time, however in the same token, his body was screaming at him to stop and take a break, unfortunately a luxury that he cannot afford at the moment.
Rizevim spat out quite a gulf of blood and rose to his feet, while wiping off some blood on his mouth, no matter how much his comrades despise Madara, Rizevim couldn't help but give the Uchiha his flowers, Rizevim has always respected Madara, and with what our protagonist is doing right now, Rizevim's respect was only increasing, this is way Rizevim wants to recruit Madara into the Old Satan Faction, he is too valuable to be left in the Akatsuki, with Rizevim having Madara under his command, the plan of his father could begin much quicker and move more smoothly.
(Chuckle): "This is why I like you Madara...(Heavy Breathing)...stop being a fool and join us...(Heavy Breathing)...look at you, all this pain and suffering could end in a moments notice...(Heavy Breathing)...if you just join us, do not deny yourself a pleasurable life, by chasing this false hope of peace...(Controlled Breathing)...stay with the Akatsuki and you will die like a dog, join the Old Satan Faction and you will rule like a supreme god." Rizevim said with him now able to catch his breath.
Madara's eyes were the next to give way, as his vision was starting to become hazy and blurry, he could still see Rizevim but things that are a further distance, that he could see usually were completely blurry, Madara's wood-clone body was dying, the Inner Gates were killing him from the inside out.
The Uchiha also took this moment to catch his breath, which was proving to be very difficult and everyone that was watching could see very clearly that Madara was struggling, it was only a matter of time before he collapses.
(Scoffs): "Look at you Madara, you look like you are knocking on death's door, you think the ones that love you enjoy seeing you like this? You think they enjoy seeing their hero, their role model, their saviour struggling to stay on his feet? Give in Madara, stop this madness and join the Old Satan Faction." Rizevim suggested then extended his hand out for a handshake to the Uchiha.
Rizevim was not wrong, it was very painful for the companions of Madara to see him in the state that he is in, the way he looked, his body language is honestly not what they are used to seeing, everyone could see that it was only a matter of time until his body shuts down, the only comfort they took was the fact that it was not his actual body, but still it is not easy to see the Ghost of the Uchiha like this.
Once Madara felt like his body was at a state that it could keep going he raised his body to the sky to breath in one last pull of air, the Uchiha then shifted his attention back to Rizevim, it was about time Madara gave his opponent a response.
Our protagonist gave his answer by clenching his hand into a fist and launching a punch in Rizevim's direction, and the force of his punch pressurized the air causing it took take the form of a gigantic lion and the ethereal beast charged for Rizevim and blew him away sending him crashing into a mountain.
Many of the Akatsuki members smiled at Madara's actions, it was clear to all of them, that no matter how much Rizevim tries to persuade Madara, the Uchiha will always stay true to himself and reject Rizevim every time.
Many of the Old Satan Faction members shook their heads in disappointment, they understand that Rizevim is all about recruitment and having as much powerful beings in the Old Satan Faction, but even he must know when to take a hint, it is clear that Madara wants nothing to do with them.
Rizevim finally emerged from the whole in the mountain he was placed in, the son of the devil had to stretch his neck in order to get rid of the pain, Madara just gifted him with, after cracking his neck the leader of the Old Satan Faction shifted his attention on Madara with the intent to kill.
Rizevim: "MAADDAARRAAA!"
Madara: "COME!"
*Sonic Boom*
The two men sonic boomed their way to one another and collided via kicks and yet another mountain was a victim of the pressure they produced from their collision.
Both men were fighting with their heart and soul, putting everything on the line, kicks were being blocked, punches were being landed, head-butts were being used, no one wanted to lose, this fight just seemed to be personal, each combatant wanted to win this fight.
Asia couldn't help but watch on and be so proud of her older brother, from the very beginning the blonde Uchiha has always been with the ghost of the Uchiha she has seen pretty much everything from her older brother, but this was the first time, she has seen him try so hard, even with his limited capabilities she could see that Madara was giving his all and it was breath-taking for Asia, the blonde could see that no matter what happens Madara will never give up, therefore if her older brother will not give up, neither will she, Asia will always try her best.
*Fists Collide*
Pandora watched on and she couldn't help but crack a smile at Rizevim's display, just like Asia, Pandora has been with Rizevim from the beginning, the son of the devil was the man that saved the mistress of destruction's life and freed her from the scrutiny and abuse of the Greek gods, she was the very first member to join the Old Satan Faction, she remembered when Rizevim was still weak and how much he trained and pushed himself to be as powerful as he is now, and it truly warmed her heart, to see how much he was also fighting for his goal, and that no matter what is thrown at him, her leader and the man she considers like family will never give up.
Madara: "HAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Rizevim: "HAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Both men launched punches and their fists connected, causing more of Jotunheim to break apart, the forest they were in was truly now becoming a wasteland, 80 percent of all the plant life have either been destroyed, devoured by the earth, or have withered and died due to all the pressure and stress the land is subjected to.
The great mountains of Jotunheim are nothing but giant rocks and boulders the amazing and wonderful products of mother nature, that would reach all the way to the sky, were reduced to rumble and ruin, after this battle between Madara and Rizevim the land of the giants will never be the same.
The battle of fists and kicks now became the battle of who is the last man standing, for every punch Rizevim landed, Madara responded in kind by landing a devastating kick on his opponent, this was a true test of their endurance and will.
Rizevim punched Madara in the abdomen, causing the Uchiha great amount of pain, this was it, his last stand, he could feel it, he only has about a minute left until his body breaks down and crumbles due to the power of the Inner gates.
The Uchiha bounced back be head-butting Rizevim which caused the son of the devil to stumble back in pain, Madara's head-butt caused his to have a small cut on his forehead and blood began oozing out.
Madara choose to capitalize, by kicking Rizevim in his right ribcage leaving quite a sting on his opponent, Madara tried to follow up with an uppercut, however Rizevim dodged the attack and punched the Uchiha in the jaw which sent Madara to the ground, this was it, Madara simply couldn't go on any more, his body refused to get up and his vision was completely gone.
Madara rolled to his back and the Inner gates switched off, leaving Madara completely powerless even his Sharingan was gone, all the Uchiha could do was lie there, doing everything he can to catch his breath.
Rizevim looked down his opponent with a devilish smile planted on his face, with Madara no longer having the Inner gates it was clear to everyone that Rizevim was the winner of this battle, the leader of the Old Satan Faction had to admit, that Madara, did truly push him, but now it was over.
(Heavy Breathing Coughing): "Go ahead...(Cough Cough)...finish it." Madara said as he knew he couldn't move any more, his body has lost all it's strength and he had zero Chakra left in the tank, at this moment he was completely useless.
(Psychotic Laughter): "Oh no you don't...not so fast Madara...(Chuckle)...I have been itching to have my hands on you and fill your body with Stray-devil energy, you are not dying today Madara, I have so many plans for you, you will join the Old Satan Faction." Rizevim said now wiping away the blood that was covering his face.
(Heavy Breathing): "Hmph...(Heavy Breathing)...you wish...(Heavy Breathing)...Akatsuki! the rest is up to you." Madara said and with the little bit of strength he had he brought his hands together and created the Hitsuji hand-seal.
"Release!" Madara shouted and just like that Madara's consciousness left his clone body, returning back to his original body, all Rizevim could see now was a wooden dummy clone that was no longer responsive.
"What? All this time I was just fighting a clone? Where the hell is the original Madara?!" Rizevim shouted out in extreme annoyance then shifted his attention to the Akatsuki as he was looking for answers.
Jesus stepped forward and gave his nephew a cocky expression.
"Unfortunately for you nephew, what you have been battling against was not Madara in his original body, yes you have been fighting Madara, but it was him using a clone body, his actual body is safely tucked away in Asgard, his consciousness is now returning to Asgard, that's what Madara meant when he said, he is leaving the rest to us, Madara Uchiha is not dead dear nephew you have been duped." Jesus said and his words absolutely shocked Rizevim and the Old Satan Faction.
"What?! So all this time I have not been fighting Madara in his actual body?!...(Short Pause)...no wonder when I was landing hits on him, I never saw any blood...(Shakes Head)...I cannot fucking believe it, all this time I was battling a wood-clone and not the actual thing, how the hell is that even possible?" Rizevim questioned looking at his uncle for answers.
(Chuckle): "I told you Rizevim and your Old Satan Faction, Madara is someone this world has never seen before, he is a man with many surprises and many things up his sleeve and it's unfortunate for you that you fell for one of his tricks." Jesus said.
Rizevim just couldn't believe it, a devil was outplayed by a human, this was quite embarrassing for the leader of the Old Satan Faction, there is only one way he can gain satisfaction, by making sure Madara's efforts were in vain and that the Old Satan Faction kill Baldur.
(Deep Breaths): "It still doesn't change things, Old Satan Faction our objective remains the same, we kill Baldur today, members of the Old Satan Faction ADVANCE!" Rizevim ordered and his companions sprung to life charging for the Akatsuki.
"And our objective still remains the same, we will protect Baldur and Freya and get both of them to safety, let us not make Madara's last stand be for nothing, members of the Akatsuki ATTACK!" Jesus shouted out and just like the opposition the Akatsuki roared to life charging for the Old Satan Faction.
*Akatsuki vs Old Satan Faction*
War broke out once again between the two factions, the never ending battle for Baldur commenced once again, but two of the heavy hitters were out now, Madara was no longer available and Rizevim is too exhausted to fight any more, he can only sit back and watch his comrades do the rest.
*Back in Madara's room in Valhalla*
Madara's eyes shot wide open as now he was back in his original body, he looked around him and could see that Yasaka's unconscious body was holding tightly to him, the Uchiha was surprised how much grip the nine-tails was using, even though she was not conscious.
The Uchiha could see that it was night time as well in Valhalla it seems like all the realms in the Norse mythology seem to running on the same time zone, he shifted his attention to the side and could see that Yui was fast asleep on a chair, with a book in her hand.
"Yui." Madara called out.
No response.
"Yui!" Madara called out again, and still nothing again from the older Toriyama.
Madara just sighed in defeat, it seems like the Toriyama is deep in her sleep and Madara did not have the energy to get up and wake her up, besides he did kind of like having Yasaka sitting on top of him and cuddling him.
"Hmm...Indra-san, you are so bold...(Gasp)...Indra-san please be gentle." Yui was currently mumbling in her sleep, but it was clear even to Madara that the Toriyama was having a steamy dream about the Ōtsutsuki.
(Chuckle): "Looks like there is more than one of us that is a ladies man, anyway, the rest is up to you all, I will remain here and do my part to keep the Jutsu active, do not fail me, make sure you extract Baldur, or else war will break out." Madara said out loud as he was looking at all his other unconscious comrades.
The Uchiha just closed his eyes, deciding to enter a state of deep meditation as it was now going to take a lot of concentration to keep the Jutsu active for everyone else.
*The Next Morning in Alfheim*
Indra was currently in the master bedroom in the light elves royal palace, he was at the balcony area, watching the sun rise.
'The one thing I love about this universe is how absolutely gorgeous, it's realms are, I don't think I have seen a place in the Shinobi world that is as beautiful as Heaven, Asgard, Olympus and now Alfheim, this mother of all creation, truly made her realms a work of art.' Hagoromo said as he was blown away by the absolutely stunning view of Alfheim.
Hagoromo was impressed and with good reason, Alfheim looked like something that came out of a Disney move or a fantasy anime, the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, casting a soft golden hue across the skies of Alfheim.
As the sun began its slow ascent, rays of light stretched out like fingers across the heavens, gently touching the edges of the vast, ethereal landscape below.
Alfheim seemed to come alive in the early morning light. The rolling hills and sprawling forests that stretched out as far as the eye could see were bathed in a warm, golden glow, the ancient trees, towering and majestic, glistened with dew, their silver leaves sparkling as the first beams of sunlight touched them, the verdant green of the forest floor was kissed by the soft morning mist that still clung to the earth, swirling and dancing as if awakened by the new day.
In the distance, a crystalline river flowed its way through the landscape, its waters shimmering like liquid glass, reflecting the emerging light of the sun. The water seemed almost to glow, catching the pink and gold hues of the sky above and creating a mirror-like effect that doubled the beauty of the scene, birds with iridescent feathers flitted between the trees, their melodic calls rising and falling like a natural symphony welcoming the dawn.
Indra's eyes followed the gentle curve of the mountains in the far distance, their snow-capped peaks blushing a soft pink under the sun's rays, the ethereal city of the light elves stood proudly amidst the wilderness, its marble spires and delicate bridges glowing faintly as they caught the morning light. The architecture, elegant and ancient looked like it came to life when it was kissed by the light of the Alfheim.
'Is this the whole embracing the moment thing?' Indra questioned as the Ōtsutsuki was very much like the Uchiha, they cared very little for views and beauty of the realms, he will admit that Alfheim wasn't ugly but to appreciate the realm as much as his father, well that was something that be believed was beyond his abilities.
'Indeed my son, tell me what do you think of the view?' Hagoromo questioned as he wanted to hear his son's thoughts.
'It's fine, doesn't really appeal to me.' Indra responded not understanding why his father was so blown away by the beauty of landscapes, it serves no purpose to the mission, Indra believed that it didn't really require that much attention.
(Exhausted Sigh): 'You and Madara are completely hopeless, I swear sometimes I am surrounded by individuals that can't appreciate beauty and art when it is in front of them.' Hagoromo said as he could see that it was a waste of time, trying to get a positive statement from Indra.
*Knock Knock*
Indra shifted his attention to the door as he was wondering who exactly was the person knocking.
"What a minute? This is my room, why am I even knocking, I have full authority to enter when ever I want." a voice said that was behind the door.
The individual then opened the door and entered the room, and was immediately greeted by a near-miss as Indra launched a mini Susanoo arrow that was intentionally launched to just miss the new comers neck.
Ályndra gasped and froze in place as she could see that Indra's mini Susanoo arrow was centimetres from hitting her neck.
"I don't remember giving you permission to enter." Indra said as he left the balcony area and now entered the room to meet eye to eye with the light elf queen.
Ályndra bowed her head as a sign of apology, the light elf queen forgot that Indra is much stronger than her, and that she desperately needs if she intends to have a chance against the Old Satan Faction and the Akatsuki.
"I humbly apologise master Indra." Ályndra said, and this was a completely different experience for the light elf queen, as she is so used to receiving respect, so for her to now give it out, was something completely new.
"So tell me, what brings you here this early in the morning?" Indra questioned with him going back to the balcony area, as although the vie didn't really appeal to him, the scenery was still rather calming for the ancestor of the Uchiha.
Ályndra just decided to close the door behind her and followed after Indra, making her way to the balcony area and now standing beside the Ōtsutsuki while also looking at the breath-taking view of her homeland.
"Well to answer your first question, this is my room, so all my necessities are here, plus it is also rude to not check up on your guest, you may be an irritating individual at times, but you are still a guest of the light elf queen." Ályndra said now shifting her attention to Indra.
"I see...(Short Pause)...are you also going to try and convince me to join your side, in this feud between your light elves and the dark elves?" Indra questioned looking at Ályndra through the corner of his eye.
Ályndra released deep sigh and Indra could see that the light elf queen had a weary and fatigued look on her face, it was clear that something is troubling her.
(Exhausted Sigh): "I am going to be completely honest with you, because it is clear I need you more than you need me, I really do need your help master Indra, my home Alfheim has been at war since I was a little girl, this accursed war has taken so many people dear to, so many people that I love, and now with the dark elves having reinforcements are I fear my people will go extinct or be enslaved by the dark elves, so please master Indra, I beg of you, I plead for your aid in this war." Ályndra said bowing once again before the Ōtsutsuki.
'So what is your response my child?' Hagoromo questioned as he was curious as to how his son would respond to this cry for help.
(Sigh): 'Aren't we all here because we are following this new philosophy of my reincarnation? The whole, peace can only be formed with both strength and love ideal, as much as I don't want to, they may be some potential benefits in assisting the light elves, besides she is desperate, you can get much out of someone that is desperate.' Indra said, responding to his father.
'Well it is not a perfect response, regardless though I will accept it as you are willing to help her.' Hagoromo said, responding to his son.
"Tell me Ályndra, what exactly is the reason for this feud between your people and the dark elves? Why be at war with one another in the first place?" Indra questioned shifting his attention back to the view in front of him.
"It's a long story master Indra." Ályndra said while still bowing.
"Then start talking." Indra demanded as he wanted the full story before he decides to commits himself to the light elves and their cause.
Ályndra raised her head and nodded as she could see if she wanted to stay in Indra's good books she will need to submit and give in to his commands.
"As you wish...(Clears Throat)...in the beginning when The Mother of Creation was giving birth to this universe, a product of her pregnancy was of course the Norse mythology and my home Alfheim, but when Alfheim was still a new born, the realm had no inhabitants it was only the light and the darkness that existed." Ályndra explained.
Indra: "Go on."
"At first things were peaceful in Alfheim, the light and the darkness lived together in harmony, there was an understanding between the two forces, the light of Alfheim held supremacy during the day and the darkness occupied the throne when the night arrived, it was a symbiotic relationship, the issue arised, when the darkness of Alfheim grew greedy and selfish, it desired full reign of Alfheim, it was not satisfied with just the night, it wanted to be in control forever." Ályndra said.
(Sigh Face Palm): "So it begins, I am assuming that a battle ensued between the light of Alfheim and the darkness of Alfheim, in order to gain supremacy over the realm." Indra said.
(Nods): "That's right, the two entities clashed for years, their battle was legendary and it was causing the realm to break apart and be on the verge of destruction, if they continued Alfheim would've completely gone, but luckily there was an intervention." Ályndra said.
Indra: "An intervention you say? And what exactly what was the intervention?"
"The Mother of All Creation, in her rage and fury she came down to Alfheim and forced the two forces into submission, she was devastated at the destruction her two children had caused and decided to restore order once again, she ordered the two forces to return to their original system of the day and night cycle, and as punishment, The Mother of All Creation reduced the power of the darkness of Alfheim, meaning that if a fight were to ever breakout between the two forces, the light of Alfheim would be superior every time, The Mother Of All Creation also decided to split Alfheim into two regions, one where the light of Alfheim would reside but still respect the day and night cycle, this was also true for the darkness of Alfheim, it also had it's own region but it too was demanded to respect the day and night cycle, once order was restored the Mother of All Creation bestowed upon the gift of creation upon her children as a reward for upholding her rule." Ályndra said.
Indra: "Go on."
"After some time, the light of Alfheim and the darkness of Alfheim agreed that the realm was rather bland and empty and it could use with some inhabitants, therefore the light of Alfheim used the gift that was bestowed upon it, by the The Mother Of All Creation, to create the light elves and the fairies and in turn the darkness of Alfheim used it's gift to create the dark elves and the pixies, and the two forces combined together to create the animals, and so this is how Alfheim came to be the home of the elves." Ályndra explained.
Indra: "Hmm..."
(Sigh) "Now this is where things started to become problematic, since The Mother of All Creation, weakened the darkness of Alfheim...(Short Pause)...as much as I dread saying this however I must, our beloved Light of Alfheim, grew cocky and arrogant, the light was superior in terms of power and strength and this is where the disharmony originated from, since the light of Alfheim saw itself superior to the darkness, that negative trait got passed down to it's children, us the light elves, therefore we saw ourselves as superior to the dark elves." Ályndra said.
(Chuckle): "Now that is a recipe for hatred and resentment." Indra said as he closed his eyes and began reminiscing on the so many wars and feud that have occurred in the Shinobi world, for that very same reason.
"That is correct, my people for quite some time have not treated the dark elves fairly or as equals, the mistreatment and disrespect reach boiling point about three centuries ago, and the first elven civil war broke out, the dark elves staged a coup d'etat and it resulted in so many elves dying, about sixty percent of the population at the time perished due to the war, my great grand father Elendriel was born during the first war, and was quite a powerful warrior and light elf, my great grand father Elendriel did not fight for supremacy or domination, rather he fought for peace and understanding between the light elves and dark elves." Ályndra said.
(Chuckle): "It seems like fate, always enjoy giving birth to a hero, proceed Ályndra." Indra requested.
"That is true, my great grand father rose power and became the light elf king of his generation, and he called for peace and a truce with the dark elf king of that generation, Sylvaris, the two kings met, fought and eventually bonded as close friends, they negotiated terms and finally a truce was forged between the light elves and the dark elves, peace reigned over Jotunheim and it looked like it would start a new beginning between the light elves and the dark elves...(Sigh)...however it truly was short lived." Ályndra said adopting a rather sad and depressed expression.
"Hmph...clearly." Indra responded as the realm was at war once again.
(Sigh): "You don't have to be condescending about it." Ályndra said giving Indra an annoyed look.
"So what caused the war this time?" Indra questioned.
Ályndra's facial expression returned back to sadness and guilt, and Indra was quick to notice this.
"The weakness of Lirion, the previous light elf king and...(Pause)...my father." Ályndra said with a tone filled with anger and disgust.
Indra: "Explain."
"My father, the previous generation light elf king, was a pathetic, lazy, pleasure seeking, good for nothing bastard of a king, my father was a weak elf, he neglected his duties and responsibilities, choosing to indulge himself in the luxurious of being a king...(Clenches fist)...my mother, the former light elf queen had to work tirelessly to uphold the peace that was formed by my great grand father, but it was truly a job that she couldn't do alone." Ályndra said with a sad look on her face as memories of her mother working like a slave in order to keep things going were flashing in her mind.
(Short Pause): "I will admit, that is rather tragic and unfortunate for you." Indra said showing some form of empathy for Ályndra.
(Chuckle): "He actually has a heart." Ályndra said while shifting her attention to Indra.
"I am not an emotionless monster." Indra responded sharply as he could see the light elf has jokes.
"Hmph... well I was fooled." Ályndra responded giving Indra a cheeky expression.
"Are you going to tell me your story or not?" Indra questioned giving Ályndra a bored look.
(Sigh): "Right... back to the subject, although my mother did all she could, she was the light elf queen, not the king, therefore the final say would always rest with my father, and being the weak elf that he was, he was easily manipulated and misdirected by his advisers who had there own agenda, my mother tried to reason with him and opposed many of the decisions my father sanctioned, but her effort were all in vain, my father listened to his friends and manipulative advisers and was the beginning of the end." Ályndra said with tears starting to form in her eyes.
Indra looked at her and could see the pain in her eyes, this was the consequences of weakness, a man's weakness can be another's suffering, a father's weakness became a daughters pain and burden.
(Tears Forming): "My father started to make decisions that went against the peace treaty and that offended the dark elves, there were many chances to reconcile with them...(Tears Falling)...yet my father never took them, instead he continued to insult the dark elves and disrespect the treaty my great grand father formed." Ályndra said with her few tears trickling down her face.
(Tears Falling): "The dark elves had enough of father's nonsense and on my 7th birthday, during the celebrations, when our guard was lowered the most, they started the second elven war...(Tears Falling)...I still remember just when my mother and father were about to sing me happy birthday, the palace got raided and they were killed before my very eyes." Ályndra said with her dropping to her knees and breaking down.
Indra watched on and couldn't help but feel for Ályndra, even for the Ōtsutsuki he had to admit that her story were one of the sad ones he has heard, even he has not been in that kind of situation.
Indra went to go help her up and when Ályndra could feel some physical contact, she rose to her feet and clung on the ancestor of the Uchiha for dear life, she buried her head in his chest and continued to open the floodgates and this truly caught Indra off-guard.
Indra just stood there and watched her crying and this greatly annoyed the Sage of the Six paths.
'My son! What are you doing?! COMFORT HER!" Hagoromo shouted as watching Indra stand there like a statue was seriously getting on his nerves.
Indra responded to his father's words and took his hands and wrapped them around Ályndra and once the light elf queen could feel Indra's comforting embrace, she broke down even more, crying for a good five minutes, Ályndra has not been in such a vulnerable position in quite some time, it felt quite comforting and safe being in Indra's embrace a sensation that she carved from her father as a young girl, that unfortunately she never got the opportunity to experience.
Ályndra eventually got a grip of herself and disconnected herself from Indra, although her inner being was fighting with her, as she still yearned to be in Indra's embrace, but she knows that she must conduct herself accordingly, she is the light elf queen after all.
Indra looked her in the eyes and he could see that Ályndra really needed that, she needed a moment to release her repressed emotions, it just so happens that Indra was the outlet for that.
(Deep Breaths): "Right where was I?" Ályndra questioned while wiping away some remaining tears.
"The dark elves invaded." Indra responded.
"Ah yes...(Clears Throat)...the dark elves made their first move, it was there declaration of war, this time they refused to see eye to eye, rather they chose this as an opportunity to eradicate the light elves, they inherited the will of the darkness of Alfheim and want to destroy the light of Alfheim and everything that is associated with it, ever since my 7th birthday to this very day, the war has been going on, the feud has resulted in many light and dark elves dying and now with the recent reinforcements the dark elves have, the war is tilting in their favour, sooner or later my people will be at the mercy of the dark elves, please master Indra this is why I beg of you, Alfheim needs you, the light elves need you, the light of Alfheim needs you, damn it I need you, please help us, with your power we may have a chance at survival." Ályndra said as she grabbed Indra's hand with both of hers and clung onto it very tightly.
Indra kept his eyes on Ályndra and the Ōtsutsuki could see the desperation, whether Indra like it or not, he was a sign of hope for the light elves and the light of Alfheim, maybe perhaps that why this realm seems to have taken a liking to him.
"But tell me, what exactly do you desire from this war? What do you hope to achieve? You cannot tell me survival is the only thing you are looking for?" Indra questioned.
(Deep Breaths): "I wish to build upon the peace treaty great grand father formed, I just don't want to stop the war, I wish to unite the light and dark elves as one community and one nation, this divide that we have is the reason conflict and resentment form, I believe that we should be together as one nation an Alfheim where light elves and dark elves live together in harmony, that is my dream." Ályndra stated giving Indra a no-nonsense expression as it was clear the light elf was dead serious on this goal.
"Hmph...not a bad dream, I have a friend of mine that is also obsessed about peace, I wouldn't dare stop him, therefore I will not stop you, if that is your dream, pursue after it." Indra said while smirking at Ályndra.
Ályndra broke out a small smile, she was glad that Indra didn't shot down her dream, she honestly thought that Indra would look at her like she was a fool, or that she was hoping for a childish fantasy, she was pleasantly surprised to be wrong.
"So what is your answer Indra? I have told you everything, so what do you decide? Will you help us or not?" Ályndra questioned giving Indra vulnerable eye.
Indra just closed his eyes and took a deep breath, either way he came to this realm in order to deal with the Old Satan Faction and save the light of Alfheim, therefore helping the light elves in a way aligns with his objective, and who knows, perhaps allying with the light elves might help him, achieve his goal quicker.
"My objective has always been to deal with the Old Satan Faction, so in a way our goals align, I will give you my aid." Indra said smirking at the light elf queen.
Ályndra broke out a warm and bright smile, she was so glad and happy to hear those words, with Indra on her side her people might very well have a chance in this war.
"So he actually does have a heart." Ályndra said smiling and looking at Indra in the eye.
"Hmph...I told you that I was not an emotionless monster." Indra responded quickly.
(Giggle): "I can see that." Ályndra said while still looking Indra in eyes.
A good one minute passed by with the two of them just staring at each others eyes, no words were exchanged the only communication they done was with there eyes and it was clear a lot was being said.
Ályndra eventually broke the eye contact, as the moment was becoming more heavy and intense, although she did enjoy the intense eye contact she received from Indra, here is to hoping for more in the future.
"Come, we should form a plan of attack, if we intend to win this war." Indra said leaving the balcony area and entering the room.
(Shakes head): "Ah yes! You are right." Ályndra said then followed after Indra.
*Umbraethril The Dark elf territory *
Umbraethril is a land that can be seen to favour the night, a haunting yet captivating area where darkness reigns supreme, yet not in a way that suggests evil rather, it exudes a quiet, ancient power, Unlike the light elf territories, where sunlight dances upon shimmering leaves, the dark elf lands are cloaked in hues of deep purples, midnight blues, and ashen greys, with unique flora providing a soft, eerie glow.
The forests were a labyrinth of towering black-barked trees that blocked out the sun, with leaves so dark they seem to absorb the remaining light. These trees are twisted and ancient, their branches forming intricate patterns in the sky, the air is thick and cool, often filled with faint, haunting melodies carried by the wind. the trees' bark is rough, and when touched, a subtle vibration can be felt, as if they pulse with the very essence of the shadows.
Plant and fungi, glowing faintly in hues of green and violet, grow in abundance, providing the only real illumination, the shadows of the environment seem to dance and whisper and the ground was covered in soft, dark soil that muffles footsteps, making it easy to disappear into the darkness, it was clear that the dark elf territory would eat you alive if you are not careful
A series of vast, still lakes dot the territory, their waters as black as coal, these were the Duskweaver Lakes, named for their appearance at dusk, the lakes are deceptively deep, and strange, unseen creatures glide silently beneath the surface. The shores of these lakes are rocky, often lined with jagged, obsidian-like stones that jut out like the teeth of some great beast.
To the far north, the Ebonfrost mountains rise, shrouded in a constant cloak of thick, dark clouds, unlike the snow-covered peaks of other regions, these mountains are jagged and barren, their slopes streaked with veins of glowing minerals that pulse faintly in the gloom. The highest of these peaks are always wrapped in a thick mist that never disperses.
The animals of this territory are as mysterious as the land itself, Large, sleek wolves with jet-black fur prowl the forests, their glowing yellow eyes peering from the shadows, in the swamps, large, amphibious creatures hide beneath the water, their glowing eyes and quick movements the only sign of their presence, as well as menacing looking crows their feathers dark as night, circle the skies, acting as scouts and guardians for the dark elves.
Above the dark elf territory, the skies are never fully bright nor entirely dark. A constant twilight reigns, with swirling clouds of deep purple, indigo, and silver streaking the heavens. The sun barely peeks over the horizon, casting long, faint shadows over the land. At night, the stars above are only faintly visible, hidden behind the rolling clouds. Occasionally, dark auroras ripple across the sky, casting a magical glow over the landscape, as if the very air hums with ancient magic.
*Nethrallion: The Royal Capital of the Dark elves*
The buildings of Nethrallion are a blend of dark elegance and otherworldly beauty. The city is built from obsidian, a jet-black stone that gleams under the faint light of the ever-present twilight, Towering spires and citadels reach towards the sky, their surfaces inlaid with twilight crystals—pulsating gems that glow faintly in hues of purple, silver, and blue, giving the city an ethereal, shimmering glow.
The streets of Nethrallion are winding, narrow, and often maze-like, designed to disorient and confuse outsiders and protect the city's inner sanctums, however for the dark elves, these paths are well-known and navigated with extreme ease, the cobblestone streets are made from a dark stone that absorbs heat during the day and emits a faint, eerie glow at night, lanterns crafted from enchanted crystals that harness the magic of twilight—light the streets, casting a soft, dim illumination that creates a sense of mystery rather than revealing everything.
Throughout the city, hidden passageways and shadowy alley ways are abundant, perfect for secret meetings and quiet retreats, overhead, you'll often find archways connecting buildings, draped in dark vines that bloom with glowing, ethereal flowers at night. these archways give the streets a feeling of intimacy, where the shadows themselves seem to be a part of the city's living essence.
Beneath the elegant surface of Nethrallion lies the underground, a labyrinthine network of tunnels and hidden chambers where the darker elements of dark elf society reside, this is a place of secrets, where assassins, thieves, sex workers and shadow mages perfect their arts, or draw in their victims The streets here are narrow and damp, lit only by the faint glow of plant-life and fungi. It is said that only those who truly know the city can find their way through the underground, and many who venture too far into its depths are never seen again.
And finally the royal Palace of Nethrallion, where the dark elf queen resides, dominates the cityscape, It is an absolutely awe-inspiring fortress of obsidian and twilight crystals, with massive gates guarded by statues of ancient dark elf warriors and mystical creatures like shadow-dragons. The palace's many levels are connected by floating bridges and terraces, offering breathtaking views of the city and the darkened landscapes beyond.
*Inside the Royal Palace*
"So Hades, what do you think? You think I can fuck the dark elf queen?"
These words were coming from an incredibly horny Kazami as he and other members of the Old Satan Faction were being escorted by dark elves to the throne room of the dark elf queen.
The dark elf soldiers took great offence that a human wanted to have sexual relations with their dark elf queen.
"I think you should be careful with what you say young Kazami, our hosts don't seem to appreciate your words." Hermes said as he could see that the dark elves were rather annoyed with the host of the Anti-Christ.
(Sigh): "What is it with you and your sex drive Kazami? You have been having sex ever since you joined the Old Satan Faction." Hades said as he faced palm at how Kazami could not control himself.
"No I haven't." Kazami clapped back as he didn't like how his comrades were making it seem like he cannot control his lust.
"Kazami dear, you have sex with anything that has legs." Hera said as the Greek goddess has walked in one too many times on the host of the Anti-Christ doing the deed.
"Come on, no I don't." Kazami said trying his best to defend himself.
"Yes you do, on your first day as a member of the Old Satan Faction, you had intercourse with so many female demons, it truly was impressive how you could keep going, then when we were at Olympus you made it your mission to have sex with as many nymphs as you could find, and now when we entered Alfheim you engaged in sexual relations with half the population of female dark elves, you lucky that you are stronger than the dark elves, otherwise they would probably kill you for having sex with so many of their women." Sekhmet said as the Egyptian goddess of war has had her fair share of walk ins on Kazami.
"I mean C'mon there is so many beautiful species of women, it would be a crime not to have a taste of them, and besides, they don't complain, every time I fuck them, they are always happy, even these dark elf punks, can't even satisfy their own women, they need a real man, with a real dick." Kazami said giving off a cocky expression.
The dark elves tightened their grip on their weapons, they were so ready to cut Kazami's head clean off his shoulders, but they dark elves knew that they would lose of the took Kazami on and also that they need the Old Satan Faction in order to win this war, therefore they will not act on their emotions.
"So Hades? You think I got a chance?" Kazami questioned now looking at the Greek god of the underworld.
(Face Palm): "Why did Rizevim leave me in charge of this brat." Hades questioned out loud as Kazami's antics were getting on his nerves.
"I swear you love what's between a woman's legs more than you love your life." Sekhmet said while rolling her eyes.
"Everyone has needs, when last did you get dicked down Sekhmet? Why don't me and you go somewhere private, I promise I will take good care of your body." Kazami said while looking at the goddess of war with lustful eyes.
"Oh I don't mind having intercourse with Kazami, but I do have one condition." Sekhmet said smirking at Kazami.
"Name it!" Kazami desperately requested as he has been dying to have sex with Sekhmet.
"You have to beat me in combat." Sekhmet said continuing to smirk at Kazami.
Kazami's eagerness and horniness instantly turned into depression as Kazami knew very well that beating Sekhmet was impossible for the host of the Anti-Christ, she was levels above him, if they fight right now, the Egyptian goddess of war would completely violate him.
"Enough! We have arrived." Hades said as he and the members of the members of the Old Satan Faction reached the door leading to the throne room, the light elves opened the door and the Old Satan Faction members were allowed to enter the most important place in the palace.
*The Throne room*
The throne room was grand, imposing chamber deep within the heart of the shadowy palace, The walls are carved from smooth, dark obsidian stone, glistening faintly under the flickering natural light, high above, the vaulted ceiling is adorned with intricate carvings of serpentine shapes and ancient runes, telling the tales of past battles and victories won by the dark elves. The light is dim, casting long shadows that dance across the polished black marble floors.
In the centre of the room stands the throne, a masterpiece of both elegance and intimidation. The throne itself is made from blackened iron and adorned with silver vines that twist and curl into sharp, thorny patterns. At the top of the throne, the twisted forms of silver wolves watch over the room, their eyes set with purple gemstones that glow faintly in the dark. The back of the throne rises high, towering over the queen who sits regally upon it.
Thalara the dark elf queen herself, with her silver hair flowing down her back, sits in the centre of this imposing setting, her posture is poised and commanding, her dark brown skin glowing faintly in the torchlight, creating an ethereal contrast to the cold darkness around her. She wears a black and silver gown that cascades around the throne, its intricate embroidery reflecting the delicate balance between strength and grace, Her piercing purple eyes, filled with both danger and power, gaze out to the members of the Old Satan Faction, analysing her new found comrades with calm authority, in her hand, she holds a sceptre forged from the same black iron as her throne, topped with a dark amethyst crystal.
'Damn she is sexy.' Kazami thought to himself, while picturing doing not so family friendly things with Thalara.
"So how did it go?" Thalara questioned while focusing on Hades as it was clear since the first day they arrived to Alfheim that the Greek god of the underworld was the leader of this group of the Old Satan Faction.
"We annihilated every single light elf that in Ebonmoor, you need not worry about that division of light elves any more, we even left a few of our comrades there just to sweep up the area and make sure to kill any light elf we have missed." Hades reported while focusing on Thalara.
Thalara gave Hades a blank expression, which did cause quite a few members of the Old Satan Faction to look at the dark elf queen with a inquisitive look
"What's the matter your highness? Are you not happy with the outcome?" Hermes questioned as he was expecting a much more positive reaction.
"I suspect the light elves have acquired something that will help them turn the tide of this war in their favour." Thalara said giving her new comrades a no-nonsense expression.
"Why do you say that?" Kazami questioned.
"The light." Thalara replied.
The members of the Old Satan Faction all gave her a confused look as they were hoping to receive more context about her words.
(Sigh): "I forget that you all are foreigners to Alfheim...(Clears Throat)...something is up about with the light of Alfheim, it shines brighter today, almost as if it is rejoicing, the light of Alfheim always responds to the state of it's children, the light elves, therefore if the light shines brightly that means it is happy about something, I am just unclear about what it is." Thalara said with her shifting her attention to the window and noticed that more rays of the sun seem to enter her kingdom.
"Reinforcements?" Sekhmet questioned as she wondered what could cause the light of Alfheim so much happiness.
"Possibly...if you all were able to find a way into Alfheim, there is a potential that someone or others have to." Thalara said now taking her free hand and placing it on her chin contemplating.
"Akatsuki?" Hermes questioned as that was the only logical group of individual he could think of to enter Alfheim.
"Can't be...the Akatsuki are in Jotunheim, and knowing Rizevim he must have initiated his plan of using Pandora to lock everyone in Jotunheim, even Mr full of surprises Madara Uchiha is in Jotunheim, if is the Akatsuki, I doubt it is anyone who is a serious threat, the heavy hitters are locked in Jotunheim." Hades said but did wonder why the light of Alfheim is so happy.
"Akatsuki? Friends of yours?" Thalara questioned with an inquisitive look.
"More like enemies, they are quite the nuisance." Hera said with an expression showing how unhappy she was as the thought of the Akatsuki brought a bitter taste in her mouth.
"Will they be a problem?" Thalara questioned now looking at Hades for an answer.
"No, whoever it is or they are, they will be dealt with, rest easy Thalara don't forget you have the god of the underworld as an ally, as long as it is not one of the big names of the Akatsuki they should be easy to deal with." Hades said full of confidence with his eyes glowing bright red.
"I see, I believe we should capitalize on our victory and press our advantage against the light elves, I want nothing left to chance, we give them no time to recover and regroup." Thalara said giving Hades a look of determination.
"Hmph...fine by me, the quicker we get rid of the light elves, the sooner we can destroy the light of Alfheim." Hades said as he was more than willing to keep going with the war.
There was a clear uneasiness and suspicion between the two parties, the Old Satan Faction, do not really care about Thalara and her dark elves, they are just using her so that they can get closer to the light of Alfheim, once she is no longer useful, they will swiftly eliminate her as they also wish to harness the darkness of Alfheim, but it was also the same the other way, Thalara did not trust the Old Satan Faction, she is just using them as weapons against the light elves, once they have dealt with the light elves, Thalara will initiate her plan of getting rid of the Old Satan Faction it was an alliance formed with thin margins.
"Good, let's initiate the next phase of our attack." Thalara said with her eyes glowing bright purple.
*Back with Madara in Valhalla*
Many hours have passed since Madara has returned from Jotunheim, it was also morning time in Valhalla, the Uchiha has been maintaining the Jutsu for all these hours and it was starting to drain his Chakra reserves, keeping so many clones active in Jotunheim was not an easy feat, even for him, all the Uchiha could hope for was that all his effort and hard work was not happening in vain.
The Uchiha noticed that the temperature in Valhalla seemed to drop, it was significantly colder than the previous day, almost like it was the start of winter, the Uchiha noticed that Yui had the chills and created a wood-clone to get a warm blanket and cover the older Toriyama, he wondered t himself that does Valhalla have such sporadic changes in temperature like this all the time.
Regardless Madara continued with maintaining the Jutsu after-all it was all he could do at the current moment.
*One Hour Later*
Another power passed by and it was really starting to get cold, this change in temperature just seemed unnatural but Madara just didn't know what was the cause of it.
*Soft grunting*
Madara: "Hmm?"
Madara opened his and could see that Yasaka's body was beginning to move.\
*Multiple gruntings*
The Uchiha could see that multiple of the bodies were beginning to move, it seems like the many of his comrades consciousnesses were returning to their natural bodies.
*Soft grunting*
A few more minutes went by and Yasaka's consciousness now fully returned to her body, her vision was blurry and her senses took a minute to fully stabilize.
After some time the Nine-tails senses fully returned to her, and she could see that she was still on top of Madara cuddling with him.
"Madara my dear?" Yasaka said giving the father a sad smile.
"What happened Yasaka?" Madara questioned eager to know what happened in Jotunheim.
Yasaka's smile now fully disappeared now giving Madara a full on sad expression, and the Uchiha was quick to notice Yasaka's change in mood.
(Deep Breaths): "We lost...Baldur was killed in Jotunheim, Ragnarok will soon begin."
And that's a warp for this Chapter my beautiful, let me know what you think, did you love it? Did you hate it, I always pay attention to all of your reviews, but until then.
