Far off into the realms of the unknown. We take a clear look at what looks like walking Colossaverses in the form of beings ranging from humanoids, all the way to straight monsters of legend. They all seem to be living in harmony, walking, talking, sharing laughs, drinks... Amongst other things. Living just like any deity would. It was a harmonious sight, much different from what we viewed within the Versetian Omniverse. But the feeling was all the same. We travel past the many celestial-like beings and move deeper into this realm. Flowing into a part of the realm that seemed to be owned by the essence and prowess of a singular being.
Many parts of the Omniverse were exactly like this, entire pieces of their Cosmos easily equal to one-hundred Colossaverses in size. They come in many different forms, matching the central concept of their being, whilst fussing to the other concepts within the territory to form bonds and mastery over them. Only Duke/Duchess level beings and up are allowed to own such territories. This is a goal and achievement all Stuliathans wish to gain. Yes, we are witnessing a small portion of the Stuliathan Omniverse this time around. The specific territory we have come to find ourselves in belongs to a powerful Archduke Stuliathan. A being tiring strength only rivaled by the most heinous of Stuliathans out there.
This being held reign over many facets of matter and energy alike. A being of unparalleled control and finesse when it came to his concept. He walked through his vast territory like a their in the night. Stalking potential targets for concept bonding. Something Stuliathans indulge in when hunting each other to rise on the food chain. They can train, absorb essence whilst sitting within stasis for eons at a time, or they can go the easiest route imaginable. Eating a fellow Stuliathan and bonding with the concepts they take from them! This Archduke was stalking for that exact reason. But from what can be seen, no worthy targets seen to be within his scope. He sits down on his cosmic throne, watching the actions of those that swore allegiance to him. A dark Lord he is, yet a word can never be broken by this despicable being. He protects his residence and they do his every task. Even giving themselves to him without ever being asked whenever he faced a being above his weight class. Something that has occurred twice in his long, long lifetime.
"Hmm... The fact that I ignored so many targets to gain more strength. Hehe... Seems I've come to finally break the Sin of Greed's hold on me. I'll never be dumb enough to face that witch again!" The Dark Lord clenches his fist.
"I can't wait! Just a few more millennia and I'll be ready to invade Lord Luci's, and Lady Joha's creation!" He snarled before laughing audaciously.
Further into the depths of his realm, we a see a beacon of light heading towards him. Another two would soon join at its side. All three beacons of light turned into rays that flashed in ways one will rarely ever see. The Dark Lord finished his laughter and cackling just as all three lights smashed into his chest. He was throttled out of a destroyed throne. Floating away like stray astronaut who got knocked away from his space vessel. He blackened eyes and red pupils looked at them as they approached once more.
"How uncanny, ripe concepts coming to me for the taking. How foolish could one be?!" The Dark Lord flipped about until he could swing his massive tail about, smacking his three oppositions' strikes into a burst that knocked everyone away. He flipped yet again, landing on all fours. His fingers extended outward and his feet turned to claws. He crawled towards them at rapid speed like a demonic spirit possessed character in a scary movie. He roared and screeched, refusing to use actual words to address his food. He eventually turned into a shadow that danced and moved like a taipan snake. He struck at them with masterful speed and agility, but his strikes were dodged and countered. He was strucked with great levels of Stuliachi and holy concepts. His weaknesses being used against him in ways no Stuliathan could produce. No normal ones that is.
He growled and hissed as he turned into a could of loose matter, dancing about as he created thousands of clones to combat these trespassers of his. The three accusers seemed to have come prepared for their opponent's known abilities. His clones became entangled by the prowess of the three trespassers. Then those same lines of essence connected themselves to the original, forcing them all back into his body as soon as possible. He was befuddled by such a development, beings who actually have what it takes to push him in his present state. From the looks of their essence and harmony, they were all smiling at him. This only made him laugh as he retook his humanoid form.
"This is where real battle starts girls, let's kick his ass!" The male beacon of light shouted. The other two rallying behind him as they take off towards the Dark Lord.
Looking at it all now, it's like the beginning of an isekai story, where the Dark Lord Protagonist is defeated by the heroes.
He flashed forward to match their tempo and speed. His five eyes, three on the head, two on the shoulders. OH! And he actually has an extra big one on his chest, making it six in total. All of them let out rays of Annihilation that could erase reality and shift it all into his own power. The three beacons dodged and forced their way through his defenses. They struck him with blows tethered to control and manipulation. They were attempting to control the Dark Lord and force open a vulnerable spot that would lead directly to a fatal wound. But the dark Lord has other plans. He flashed head first with the beast of the three. Taking damage to deliver a blow that would discombobulate the male for a bit. Once this was done, both the others were blitzed by a hell storm of essence from all directions. They fended off the attacks, but never noticed what was truly occurring. Their mate was busy tearing the Dark Lord to shreds as his body is constricted heavily. But before he could finish the job, his head was bit off, his body.. swallowed whole. The body of the Dark Lord became even more human-like in stature. He turned around to face the others, but never suspected such a burst of essence would be all his person. His body was still being attacked from within, then to make matters worse. The other two caused an exlosion that damaged at least one third of his entire territory. He was completely incapacitated and damaged beyond belief. One of the beacons was thrown into a hole within reality created by this collision. The other managed to tank it all and escape the realm entirely. Heading into the fourth Omniverse with tone of sorrow within her very being.
As this came and went, the team of Annihilo-Sect was finally back together with only a few members missing from their ranks. Everyone made their final stop within Dismantlaarhg, meeting Timone and Theodore there. The two had just tagged out for extended leave, giving the reigns to some clones of Lady Betsy and Lady Scarge. It was a very warm environment within looming, dark times. The type of fresh air one needs to take in every now and again, you know? It felt great to see everyone again, watching as we all drank and got each other caught up in our personal lives. I for one found myself heading towards the large balcony found on the royal estate for the leading family. It game you a complete view of the clan, just like it did before. I always loved to sit in the railings and let my mind wander into the beyond. Only this time, Timone came and joined me. It was rare alone time with one of my greatest friends that I just don't get nowadays.
"How's everything been looking for you family, Zee?" Timone asked me.
"It's been looking pretty damn swell, Timone. Sinnthia told me you're all doing great. I was very happy to hear it, you deserve that, love."
"Heh, 'ppreciate it, Zee. The feeling is mutual for sure." Timone gave me toast as we finished our glasses. Staring off into the cosmos above us as we enjoy a good night's rest before the coming cycle. We'd be training for a fight the Omniverse has to come together to handle. We'll make sure to win it, we all have too much to protect.
"Crazy question, but has your dad reached out from the beyond?"
"Huh?"
"I only ask that because, Lady Nagath does every now and again when my sisters and I are together. It's always warm and pleasant, hearing from her and knowing she has no regrets." I looked down into my glass, grinning honestly when thinking about the conversations. Timone was moved by the gesture, smiling before giving me an honest answer.
"Yeah, actually.. he does." Timone smiled as he looked into my eyes.
"Heh, that's great, I bet hes always comforting, huh?"
We both laughed within the moment, but that moment would be interrupted as a wounded goddess fell into our person. Smashing into us and crashing through the walls to the estate. We were all stunned by the development, but what stunned us even more was who this goddess was.
"Melumini'itii!?" I shouted as I lifted her body. Shi'Ho-ho and Sinnthia quickly fixed the damage. While Snowrunt and Timozzia prepared a couch for her to rest on. ZeeNastasia and I annihilated her wounds and made sure she was stable before she naturally awoke.
"I wonder where the hell she's been and what happened to her??!" Heemy thinks hard as he glares at Melumini'itii.
"More importantly.... where are Josie and Kolipso??" I asked whilst scanning Melumini'itii's very being to see into her consciousness. But she blocked my every attempt even whilst unconscious. Her power was remarkable and her resistance to concepts is greater than ever. I hadn't noticed how long it actually took ZeeNastasia and I to heal her. She was even resisting our essence when enveloped in Benevolence. Truly remarkable, makes you wonder what she had been doing in the many many years she had been gone.
"N-Nrgh!?"
"She's waking up!" Seikosen states, walking up from the back of the room.
"Tch, leap back!!" YeeNessa shouted, forcing everyone to retreat just before Melumini'itii's body entered defensive manuevers. Countless spikes of essence shot out of her body, using extinction to rip even the fabric of existence out from space itself.
Her eyes burst open and she leapt up in a daze, she allowed her senses to to come back to normal before assessing everything. When she finally came back to us, she looked around to see her dearest and oldest friends' shocked faces. Her defenses dropped, and her being was made vulnerable. She dropped to her knees shedding tears uncontrollably. Crying and howling like a made woman as we swarmed her person. She was truly in a bad space and we came to find out why before anything could calm down.
"What happened to you, we need you to calm down and talk, sweetheart!" YeeRashuri demanded. But it was to no avail.
"What the hell occurred while you were gone to cause such an uproar!?" Sinnthia asked.
Everyone pleaded with her to calm down, but it wouldn't work, the breakdown just backe worse. I was prepared to smack her, but then she said...
"A-A-Ato... Atom-me-mennn...
"What!?" YeeNessa and I got even closer, but her essence and shout shoved us all away.
"Atomennnn... Killed JOSSIIIIIIEEE!!!"
We all froze, stunned by her words, and completely affixed to the reality of the situation. Her breakdown was justified, and we couldn't help but join her..
"Whaaat!? What do you meaaann!? Tell me what happened big sis Melu! Tell ME!!" I demanded an explanation. I needed clarity on how this happened, why this happened. Why when we were just coming together to stop him. Why!?
We all bellowed in our sorrow for a few minutes before finally calming down. Once that came about, we were finally able to get a clear explanation of what happened.
"Alright, can you please tell us what happened, sissy?" Heemy pleaded with her.
"Nnrrrgh!! The two of them told me to neva eva speak of dhis without all three of us present. It was a pact we made before going on dhis mission, y'know? The person who gave us this mission also swore us to secrecy. So I can't tell you who, but I can tell you everything else, uce." Big Sis Melu explained.
We all nodded our heads in agreement to her terms.
"The mission we were given was reconnaissance into the Stuliathan Omniverse and the defeat of Colossal, classified threat: Particula, A.K.A... Atomen. We were allowed into dhe verse by our Client and their associate within dhat Omniverse, uce. They were a huge help when it came to navigating dhe vaaast Omniverse and it's many mysteries. We trained within and absorbed dhe culture. Becoming Stuliathans within dhe first fiiifty-thousand years. We even devoured a few attackers to truly indulge in it all in pursuit of further knowledge of dheir being. Once we collected all of our data, we made our way towards a rising factor... Atomen."
We all locked in further after hearing his name.
"We hunted him down for millennia until we found his faction of the Omniverse, usos. Dhat's where we committed atrocities in the hopes of defeating him. Even going as far as to slaughter many Stuliathans... Innocent Stuliathans who did nothing wrong. Dhey only showed loyalty to a rather just Lord. But that Lord is targeting our verse and we couldn't allow it. So we launched an attack on him that caused one death, and one disappearance." She further explained.
"So Kolipso has just up and vanished, mate? And is this Atomen bloke really that powerful??" Theodore asked.
"Yes, she vanished into a hole dhat broke thrrough existence itself. She could be anywhere, but one dhing is for certain... She's alive. Her being scattered within a void beyond the void dhat houses the Omniverses. Who knows when she'll return, good thing is.. she's alive. Josie could be too, seeing as he mastered two forms of Immortality whilst we were there. I even think tldhat may be the reason Atomen nearly allowed himself to be destroyed just to get to Josie."
"Mhm... Your essence is dense and full of an amalgamation of souls, Great Madame Melumini'itii." A voice said from the entrance to the Estate's Rooftop, lounging plaza.
"Hm? Who you be, bomBARding into a bahd gohd's establishment!? Ye'olle sharply wrapped toothpick, you be!" Timone snapped at the slim built man dressed in an old-timey suit with his freshly combed, handle bar mustache.
"Huh, sharply dressed toothpi- OH!" Shi'Ho-ho dashed over to the man as fast as possible.
"TESSYYYY!!!" She shouted.
Sinnthia, YeeNessa, and I all locked eyes before realizing what this meant.
"Wait...
"Tessy?? As in your husband!?" YeeNessa and Sinnthia jumped with joy. Melumini'itii even darted her eyes towards him once she recognized his face.
"Yeah everyone, hubby... Introduce yourself to my friends- no... My family!" Shi'Ho-ho smiled at everyone whilst pulling her husband closer to us.
"Heh, well might as well after interrupting everything with my sudden arrival. Eh-erhm, I'm-
"Nikola Tesla-Eradiland... Just dhe ascended mortal I've been looking for."
"Hm... Looking for me, you say?" Tessy replied.
"Yeah... I have done my research uce, and though you're a scientist... You were born with two rather strange concepts. Both of which...
Can be seen as the weaknesses of Atomen!"
