Stood upon the Earth was an abomination of nature, a being who defied the constraints he was born into.
The constraints set by his own body.
One of three to gain the title of Kronen god.
"Tell me Human why do I feel the need to absorb you as well" Nucleus spoke, his voice emotionless.
"Well finally a challenge" Laires vanished only to reappear seconds later at a far enough distance to say its safe.
"So you decided to flee, well let me hunt you like the pathetic race you are" Nucleus formed a wall high enough it could have been said to touch the clouds.
And in mere moments the very floor beneath Laires' feet turned to ice.
"Well I guess that weird look you got going on ain't for nothing, well drink up my blade" Laires flourished his dagger, whilst the blood of Kravage became its fuel.
And with the dagger burning hot, the ice melted before the ripper.
Nucleus in response to the burning blade forced the surrounding buildings to rain down upon the battlefield.
"I may be a Human but don't assume that's my limit" Laires appeared before the god, unscathed.
"Now just a little taste" Laires whispered just moments before sucking the blood from Nucleus' neck.
And as that blood travelled through the ripper's body his enhancements activated.
With its activation multiple penny knives made their appearance from Laires' arm, each blade piercing the god of adaptation.
"Enough wannabe Vampire" Nucleus tore the ripper from his neck, smashing him into the pavement.
The abomination known as Nucleus formed a blade in the same way Kravage once did.
Using the berserker shaped blade Nucleus tore through Laires' spine.
"It's over Human, so prepare yourself as this will be sure to cause you some agony" Nucleus walked over to see a disfigured torso.
"Do you know how expensive body parts are these days" Laires' torso morphed from a woman's back to his own and whilst it changed the ripper kicked the Zeon.
Laires activated his second enhancement releasing a grapple hook straight into Nucleus, in which the ripper tore into his Rinock like skin.
"And now London be reborn inside my zone" and with those words spoken a forgotten city temporally merged within the surrounding area.
"Oh I always feel like I'm at home when I do this" Laires teleported only to appear on top of the Zeon's shoulders.
In which Nucleus teleported away but it wasn't enough as the same actions were repeated continuously.
"Statues, don't tell me this ability of his is that forgotten piece of history but that's impossible he's just Human" Nucleus confused by his sudden realisation of how much danger he is truly in created a fist from the surrounding terrain only to smash what appeared to be four king statues.
"Oh poor kings, they always seem to die well no matter as this is when things get more entertaining" Laires laughed callously as the newly built city was set a flame.
And with the city so was Nucleus and Laires himself who appeared to have gained the appearance of a woman.
"These flames they won't go out" Nucleus claimed as he watched his icy skin melt away.
"That's right Zeon as you can see anything with life in it's veins burns continuously and that's why I look like this, it'd be such a waste to burn my own body after all" Laires leaped from the ground, revealing his zone's weakness as the flames that rested upon his body vanished instantly.
"And now we relive the end of the golden age together Nucleus" Laires spoke as his feet touched the ground once again but this time no flames were to be seen.
But instead four pillars rose up, forming a square and within that square everything became trapped inside.
"So the rumours are true Earth does have a few revenants of the purest age in history" Nucleus caught a hold of the ripper, his throat dangling in the god's hand.
"Well what do you expect no one dies of old age if they are worth knowing in this universe, someone like you should already know that" and once again Laires teleported.
"So Kronen god what now, do we continue this pattern or do we strike a deal for what you are truly after".
"Give me a Ghoul and I'll leave this city unharmed that is the only deal there is" Nucleus dove into the powers of a Rinock, creating a prison around Laires.
"Now that just won't do" Laires laughed manically as his own cage began to pierce his body.
And now relying on the power of a Fracture Nucleus froze Laires from the inside.
"Now to find me a Ghoul..., ah so you have returned my Adaptāre" Nucleus looked upon his allies as they dragged a Ghoul before the god of adaptation.
"With this I will make one more step towards perfection" Nucleus placed his hand into the sludge absorbing the Ghoul into his own body and with that his appearance once again changed.
"It worked, you see ripper I believe that you encountered the same problem as I, after all both of our abilities rely on changing our own body but that only leaves so much room to work with so I travelled this far for a way to expand my canvas to a scale beyond imagination" Nucleus stepped towards Laires' cage, Ghoul sludge wrapping itself around his body.
"So what now?" Maeina, a Mazoko questioned as her whip like hair remained completely still despite her constant movement.
"Now I absorb the Human" Nucleus lowered the cage but despite this Laires remained frozen.
"This is becoming a pattern brother" a blood drenched knight appeared out from the shadows.
Only to vanish once again with Laires.
"Ah another revenant this planet is full of so many mysteries but I don't have time for this, I sense something familiar nearby a Zeon perhaps" Nucleus looked out towards the tower in which the Ghouls watched the city.
