"So... How does it feel to finally be on the receiving end of things? To finally be the underdog that gets stepped on, HUH!?" Shiitania pressed his face into her platform made of death essence.
"Hmm... First time I've ever seen your cocky ass not say a word. But, do not fret, the silence is louder than ANY of your obnoxious bullshit!" Clarissa placed her heel on his upper back, near the nape.
They pressed down hard, crushing Tahny under the weight of their Aura Thingchi. It completely shattered the space beneath them, opening windows into the lower realms of our verse. We were currently within the last few upper layers, the greater Gigatoverses. Tahny was motionless and lacking any of the intense essence he previously used. Did this mean we finally neutralized him or -
"Huh, what is all this shaking!?"
"ZEE!!!"
"What is it, Shi'Ho-ho??"
"We're losing our grip on the verse. He's breaking it from the inside out!!" Shi'Ho-ho explained. Her arms and legs giving way to the power and pressure being released by Tahny. But upon hearing and feeling this, none of us could grasp when he started and how he's even doing this.
"Your cycle can be broken, for it is incomplete."
"WHA-
An explosion let of that carried viruses and the power to blow through concepts like pressured water through paper. Both Shiitania and Clarissa flew back, dodging the explosion, but not the effects it carried. Their bodies were completely worn out from the respiratory attacking, essence virus found within the attack. They could barely move after narrowly escaping an attack completely comprised of violent, condensed essence.
"Escaped me, eh? That's fine, but your verse .. I understand it now." He glared at everyone as he raised his right arm.
He brought his arm down as if he just grabbed in to something. His hand squeezed tightly as he slowly pulled back. We could see the space around him, even the stars, and systems folded with it. It looked like tightly wrapped placed being stretched to its breaking point. We heard tearing and ripping until... WHAM! The entirety of our verse was torn asunder as he waved his right arm outward.
"What.... Did he actually grab our verse and pop it like a bubble??"
"Y-Yeah... He did, Big Sis Shiitania." YeeNessa states as she takes several steps back.
"What in the... Are you serious right now!?" Xenoshaa flashed forward along with everyone else.
We gathered around the likes of Tahny along with the most powerful of our remaining forces that haven't been sealed or killed by Tahny. He found himself in quite the predicament, but what was alarming to me. Well, he was calm... too calm if I'm to be honest. Plus his form has changed once again, ever so slightly... He has become more demonic in appearance. Gazing at everyone as he rotates during his levitation. He slightly smiled as he looked at our gathering of combatants. It was like the entire verse was sitting before him to repel or kill him. He found that to be quite exhilarating, smirking as he instantly wrote out a sign beneath his feet. The sign had symbols on them that looked like summonings. He then used his thumb's nail to pierce his own palm. The blood and his palm were smashed into the symbol as it folded into the space around.
"Come forth!! Five Commanders of $@3&#+@#π's Underverse!" Tahny shouted as a veil of essence was released from his hands. The veil shot past us as it quickly dissipated into the outer cosmos. From it came five beings similar to Tahny. It looked as though they were members of a faction he's in charge of. Each was dressed sharply, toting suits, capes of noble order, crowns that looked like halos, horns of various types, and suitcases. Each one wore sunglasses and unique, ninja-like masks. We could tell they were powerful just from their essence signatures. Each one of them was equal to Tahny in his current state.
"Commanders; Zozoly, Kalukahna, Valaksee, Lilith-Zohrd, and Amaymonei. It's a pleasure to see you all again." Tahny greeted them with open arms.
"Yeah, yeah... Ol husband of mine. I brought your suitcase alone with me." The commander known as Zozoly states. She threw him his suitcase before lining up with the others.
"I'm guessing we're here to fight some sort of war, Lord Wrath?" Commander Lilith-Zohrd asked. He was a mighty tall brute. Quite muscular too, built like a tank if I'm being completely honest.
"Hmph, these Deities are mighty indeed. It's easy to see why you summoned all five of us." The very tall Kalukahna states.
"Indeed, but I see this as a fine opportunity to let loose, don't you all think?" Commander Valaksee suggests. He was slender, tall and compact with muscle tissue of the highest order.
"None of this matters, let's just cause some mass genocide and take who we were assigned to take." Amaymonei looked at all of us, removing her shades before blitzing the entirety of our verse's combatants with a mere glare. We all felt her horrifying Aura Thingchi.
"Heh, see how your attempts have failed? Most of these beings standing before us have ascended beyond mere deities. You'd do best to remember that moving forward. Now... being about your famed weapons created by the Crowned Emperor of Blacksmith Concept." Tahny commanded.
Every single one of them opened their cases and released horrendous weapons carrying heavy amounts of essence within them. Tahny uses a two meter long Katana, Amaymonei uses a golden halberd with a blade shaped like an upside down cross. Valaksee uses claws along with a scorpion tail that looks identical to the silhouette Tahny used to wear. Lilith-Zohrd uses heavy gauntlets that were bigger than his large ass torso. Kalukahna uses a dual sided scythe with blades found at both ends of the shaft and staff she carries. Then you have Zozoly who uses a gigantic great sword as her main weapon. As soon as their weapons were out, they all rushed towards us without warning.
"Tch, their weapons are bad news!! Take heed if my warning and charge forth ANNIHILATION VEEEEEEERSE!!!" My mother and I shouted as we dashed towards Tahny. Only to be interrupted by his wife smashing through us as she casually flies towards a crowd of deities. They were being led by Lady Ersula, she was able to put a halt to Zozoly's momentum forward. Zozoly smiled before entering a series of sword exchanges. Their pressure and essence sent many of Deities flying in all directions.
My father darted towards Tahny with a load of Annihilation essence coating his left fist. Valaksee and Amaymonei were taking the fight to the helping Deities that came from the many civilizations within our great Colossaverse. Kalukahna joined them just after she shot Lilith-Zohrd towards my pops. Tahny glanced over at my pops, smirking as my dad launches his attack. Lilith-Zohrd flashes in front of him, blocking the attack with his gauntlets.
"You'll deal with me now, gosling!" Lilith-Zohrd smirked at my pops as he shoved him back.
"Tch, I'll make sure you regret getting in my way, burling behemoth!" Pops replied as he shifted personalities. Becoming the fiend known as ZeeNihilo, the Absolute Monarch of Annihilation.
Everyone turned our fair Colossaverse into a war torn state. The likes of Annihilo-Sect was split a bit as certain members ran off to help their families against these power houses summoned by Tahny. He currently had his attention focused on me and YeeNessa. Coming at us with the intent to kill, we could sense the bloodlust oozing from his body and essence.
"This will be the final brawl!! You and your meddlesome team shall fall here, and die. We need no further threats to our plans!" He charged towards us like a rampaging divine bull.
"You can try all you like, you won't prevail!!" YeeNessa and I shouted.
We rammed into Tahny head-on like two barreling wrecking balls. Tahny was forced back a bit by the power behind our charges. This gave me the opportunity to rush in for my follow up attack just after YeeNessa shared her essence with me. I placed my hand on his gut as I slightly flew past him. Dodging his right hook, I gripped his essence and body where my hand was placed. Throwing him into the next universe like a pitch off the mound in a baseball game. YeeNessa traced her own Erasure essence that was placed in Tahny. She appeared behind him, swinging with her heavy roundhouse kick. She released an explosion of essence that tore through the universes around us. But when she looked into the smoke and debris from the aftermath. She came to notice that Tahny had merely used his firearm to block the damn attack. Then he exploited her moment of hesitation during the slight moment of shock. He swung that long ass katana at her neck, no hesitation to kill her.
"Oh SHIIIIIIT! I can't block, nor dodge this bullshit in time!"
"Your life is mine, young YeeNessa." Tahny stated as he licked his lips.
The edge of his blade made contact with her neck, but just as it did... Odin revealed himself and blocked the attack. YeeNessa was able to gain distance thanks to his interference. He used his slightly large hammer to fend off the brazenly sharp blade of Tahny's long katana.
"A hammer for a singular hand that is shaped like the palaces of the Jade Emperor from where I come from. Plus it has the most abundant elemental type of essence. How interesting, Odin, was it? You must be Dolphy's boy!" Tahny leapt away from the striking distance of Odin.
"It is called Mjolnir, and yes, I am the son of Lord Adolph. Odin Maniaclese is the name, and I shall be your reckoning, ye 'ol dobber looking sack of flesh." Odin states as he and YeeNessa march forward.
"Hm? Mjolnir?? That's the name of the weapon that guy uses." Tahny thought to himself.
"Heh, we'll see it about that one there, Ody-boy." Tahny swung his katana with essence wrapped around the blade.
Odin swung his hammer, causing a massive burst of Elemental Essence matching the lightning variety, to come forth. It filled a small multiverse before blowing Tahny away. YeeNessa appeared behind him and smacked him slightly upwards as he flew in the direction from which he came. Heemy happened to be within that vicinity, smacking Tahny downwards towards Shiitania. She used the back of her scythe to smack Tahny well over yander. Dila sat within the pocket, using a mighty roundhouse to knock Tahny away. Eventually, all twenty of the remaining Annihilo-Sect members managed to smack Tahny around like a ball in a pinball machine. Unfortunately to our surprise, Tahny blocked each and every attack used against him. Standing tall at the center of our group, picking at his horns.
"Mhm... My horns are refined enough to be used as whetstone. Now then... Time for the counterattack." He used his horns to sharpen his blade.
Just then, we all felt a wave of essence surround us. I looked down to see his blade was swung outwards and his stance resembled one that clearly shows he attacked us. Everyone was struck by a sudden wave of essence that sent us all flying. He used his control of the concepts; Vision, Domain, and Slashing. Meaning he was going to be using multiple concepts with every attack he throws!
I looked down and noticed his gaze was aimed at YeeNessa, Clarissa, Shiitania, and I. That gaze quickly turned into a glare as he shit after me.
"Shit, he's going after my wife!" My hubby, Heemy shouts.
He charges after Tahny like a mad man. He managed to cut him off before Tahny could get to me. He used his staff to block the long katana of Tahny.
"Heh, getting in my way, eh? Just like those foolish parents of yours." Tahny smiled in Heemy's face just after disrespecting him in the worst way.
"W-What d-did you juuust... SAAAAAAYY!?!" Heemy was angry, forcing his way through Tahny as his wrath was being realized.
"Aaaaah, what delicious Wrath you have. Perfect fuel for putting a brat like you down." He absorbed Heemy's wrath, then repelled his staff with a shift in weight.
Heemy was thrown off his game, losing his grip on his wrath, watching as the blade from Tahny's katana came slashing through his chest.
"HEEMY!?" I raced over to Heemy as Tahny came in for another strike.
His slash was wide, but fast and precise. It cut through reality and space like a butchers knife through butter. I managed to make it in front of Heemy in time. Guarding against the slash using my gauntlets that were wrapped in Defensive Thingchi.
"Heh!"
"Tahny's about to use a secondary slash to kill me!" Heemy used his Psyche Thingchi to peer into the future. This allowed him to block the wave of essence that came from Tahny's katana.
"Oh? How interesting!" Tahny leapt back and gained some distance.
He readied his blade, flowing forward in order to blitz us. But he suddenly slowed down and looked into the upper cosmos. Odin, Timone, and Theodore all came down with their hammers at the ready. Combining their essence, concepts, and elemental prowess together for an Almighty smash.
"Tch, these brats sure are tenaciou-
Their attack smashed into his blade and smashed him into the spatial floor well beneath us. A large explosion occured that held Tahny in place as it erupted further. Tahny grunted from the damage, but all that did was create more wrath to fuel him. He swung his sword about and launched Odin and the others into their approaching teammates.
"It's been a long ass time since I used this great sword. But the Erasure Blade is needed now, thank you for this gift, Lady Rosaray!" I thought to myself, blitzing Tahny's six.
I smiled sinisterly as I cut through reality and space with my swing. Tahny knew he couldn't dodge, so he sat still, awaiting for the blow to meet it's mark. But just as it was about to make contact, I noticed someone in my peripheral. It was his wife, Zozoly, getting ready to blitz me. Her great sword swept through the verse as she appeared before me. Forcing me to redirect the motion of my swing, ready to smash it into her blade. Our two swords met, and Tahny was now nowhere to be seen as I take on his wife. She had blood on her blade, but some cuts and bruises of her own. I could sense that Ersula and a few others went to the front where my Uncle YeeRasurum can be found. Good, I thought this dusty old bitch got to her.
"A dusty old bitch, am I? What a foul mouth you have as a narrator!" Zozoly looked into a random direction, like she was staring into a lens. It seems she could sense beyond the realm of the four Omniverses.
"What the, how did she!?"
She looked towards me and chuckled, her fiery red eyes were shining right through her nice ass shades. She may be an enemy, but I can't hate on her now.
"Heh, a version of you that's a threat to my very existence seems to be narrating your tale. I hate what that may mean for us all how, but I can't see to see what exactly will happen by the end of this battle. So I'll just have fun beating youe current self into a blood mess!" She lowered her mask and smiled at me with her perfectly sharpened, yet gnarly ass teeth.
"Tch, as if you brazen bitch! Just try it, I dare you!!" I managed to push her back a bit. Then I proceeded to use my index finger to write out some rune spells. It was something I learned within my years of training this last century.
"Hm? These Deities use odd abilities indeed!" Zozoly thought to herself.
"Concept Activation: ZeeNanasa's...
"Hm? Ah, I see your game, ZeeNanasa!"
Zozoly brought her blade to the forefront, then using her nails, she scratched the surface of the blade and ignited an odd flame. It- huh? What are you- Hm? Ah, ok ok.
So supposedly, these flames are known as Hellfire. But they are attached to Zozoly's essence as a boosted concept altogether. One that allows them absorb all concepts within its range. Which is why their red and black, with stars and galaxies within them.
"Concept Activation: Zozoly's...
"Huh!? Tch!"
"THINGCHI!!!" We both shouted simultaneously, releasing our attacksbat full power.
We charged into each other and caused a huge explosion to occur. The burst of essence separated us with sheer force. Her flames began to engulf my Annihilation, absorbing and assimilating every ounce of essence that touched her flames. It was enough to force me to bring about my guard with some Defensive Thingchi added.
"Hmm... I'll have to use a technique I took from your husband." I swung my right arm inwards, creating a tornado of essence around myself with both of attacks intertwined within.
"Hm? Shit.. I know that technique!" Zozoly brought about her sword and placed it in front of her with its edge sharpened. It seems she also uses her horns as whetstone.
"Hmph!! Backhand!!" I used a sweeping, backhanded strike to send everything swarming back at her with an extremely large touch of added force.
Zozoly was forced to remain in place, bracing herself as the attack swam around her. Her blade sliced it in half so long as she held her focus. Once the attack was finished, she twirled her sword around and prepared for the next attack. I smiled at her as I brought my sword up, but then we both noticed a few essence signatures approach from all around. Zozoly turned to face the closest one, blocking an attack from YeeNessa and her short sword.
"Heh, Shiitania and Clarissa are keeping your husband busy with a few others. So me and a team are here to help my cousin!" YeeNessa states as she pushes Zozoly back.
"Oh wow, how impressive, YeeNessa, is it?"
"We'll have to go at her simultaneously, Yee!" I shouted as I moved in for a strike. YeeNessa came flying right behind me.
Zozoly took us both on, slashing and menacing the verse around us as she countered and blocked on onslaught. Each collision caused an explosion that could easily level whole Gigatoverses. All three of our strikes sped up to the point that it looked as though we were standing still. Yet we delivered more than one million strikes within a mere moment's time. Zozoly twisted her body and blade about, sending us both flying in the process. Arrows from Dila were fired towards her person. She blocked each attack with ease, all whilst preparing for the swing from Snowrunt's mighty scythe.
"Whoopsie... It seems you missed your target."
"Nrhh, what an annoying wrench she is." Snowrunt thought as she and Zozoly clashed several times over. Dancing all over the verse with each successive collision performed. And with each one performed, an explosion occurs along with them.
"Damn, all of these ridiculous explosions she causes. Just what the fuck is her Origin Concept!?" I asked whilst regrouping with everyone.
"That's what I'd like to know!" Snowrunt added on.
"Heh, so you want to know my ability, eh??" Zozoly smashed her blade into the space around us. Entering a stance as if she were going to power up.
"In lots of ways, I'm more dangerous than my husband. I use my concept of War to ravage the battlefield!" Zozoly released her essence with no restraint in sight.
"W-War!?" YeeNessa shouted.
"That's a supreme concept!!" Snowrunt held her scythe at the ready.
"Tch, what in the verse is she planning?" I also held my weapon at the ready. Watching as her pillar of essence condensed itself.
"Hmph, I can see every single one of you on this massive battlefield." Zozoly suddenly shifted the very reality around us.
Just then, everyone in the battle field around the Colossaverse was struck. A mighty punch that sent most of us flying whilst some of us managed to block the attack.
"Heh, quite a few of them actually managed to nullify my attack." Zozoly looked my way after scanning the entire battlegrounds before us.
"No matter, because all I know is... My husband views YOUUU as the greatest threat, ZEENANASAAAA!!!" She charged at me full force with a fist full of Thingchi.
My pops and mother were busy pushing Lilith-Zohrd back with their well balanced conjoined attacks. But just as they were breaking through his defenses, my mother sensed what was happening to me and rushed to my aid. ZeeNastasia joined our pops in battle to replace what my mother contributed.
"You're all mine now, ZeeNanasa- Hm? Ah... She's a powerful one." Zozoly turned her body mid swing to match my mama's attack. Their fists clashed and everything before us vanished for a second. Then it returned after my mother erased the damage done. I attempted to rush to her aid, but was pushed back along with the others. The power of their clashing was too much to bear, it left us completely helpless and sitting by, watching all the while.
"Well I'll be, you're also someone who surpasses the level of their husband. How grand!" Zozoly laughed proudly as she traded blows with mother.
"Oh, it's been a long ass time since I've fought someone who made my blood pump like this! Show me MORE, Zozolyyyy!!"
They both continued to thrash and smash about around the verse. Tahny pushed back the group that stayed to take him on. Dodging and fluttering about as he counters every technique before him with phantasmal levels of finesse. Shiitania and Odin landed blows on him, but for each blow they land, there's another blow they take in exchange. Valaksee was able to take on multiple Coco Tribe members at once. Using his claws and scorpion's tail to control the flow of the fighting. Making them dance to his tune, and making sure to snuff out all attempts to change the tempo he set. Amaymonei used an unholy rain of planetary meteors blessed by her essence. All whilst Kalukahna took on YeeRashuri and her family. It was incredibly crazy to think that six beings are enough to take on most of our verse's main forces.
In the midst of this chaos, I witnessed my mother lose some ground in her fight. She threw a punch a bit too slow, allowing Zozoly to struck her gut multiple times. My mother managed to withstand the strikes and answer back with her own onslaught. Zozoly attempted to control the tempo of the strikes, only to be overwhelmed by my mother's odd fighting style. She can fight like a drunken master while sober, making her attacks very unorthodox and random. She smacked Zozoly after taking a punch, following it up with a harsh hip check as she stepped forward. Zozoly lost balance and was met with ten heavy hooks that flowed up her body, but that only excited her more. She let forth a burst of essence and shot my mother out of their ball of essence and into the outer cosmos. She managed to stop herself near the battlegrounds of ZeeNihilo and Lilith-Zohrd.
"Heh, let's see you handle this one!!! Zozoly's WAR FIIIIIISST!!!!"
"Shit!" My mother, Anastasia was about to be blitzed by a strike that can actually influence mortal wounds upon her body.
"Hm? They're here!?" Shiitania looked upwards to see multiple falling lights heading straight for my mother.
"I don't think so you old hag! WAR FIST!!!"
"Wait, who the hell is- what?? It's her, the one I saw back when we were on our way to get our weapons made. One of the current three current leaders of Young STRIFE." I moved in to check on everyone after the large scale explosion went off.
"Heh, a fairly good 'ol job stopping that there explosion, Big Sis Dannadise."
"Tch, that was a crazy amount of essence to countah, Xeno. This one's trouble for sure!" The one known as Dannadise explained.
"So it's you young ones, eh? I appreciate your assist there, it really saved my skin, y'know?" My mother placed her hands on Xeno and Dannadise's shoulders. Staring at Zozoly as she finally removes her mask and shades.
"Oh wow, it's the strongest representation of War you dieties have to offer currently. I've watched you for quite some time now, Dannadise Azrufal." Zozoly until her bun and allowed her ridiculously long, white hair to flow.
"So your name's Dannadise? Thank you for saving my mother-
"You should've been good enough to do it yourself, ZeeNanasa Zeefist." She gave me a bombastic side eye, but her vibe tells me she means well.
"Yeah, that's Lady Dannadise. Don't mind her unapproachable demeanor, she can't help it, big sis Nasa."
"Wait, that voice!" I turned around to lock eyes with a goddess whose face was nearly identical to ZeeNastasia's and my own.
"Woah, what the-
Is that little 'ol ZeeNasia!?"
