"Now you listen here, ZeeNasia. Under no circumstance can you use that blade freely." A voice in the back of a dark room states.
"But why, Lord Shiishiigami!?" A young and eager voice responds.
"ZeeNasia! You nearly wiped everyone out that were present at the battle against Seightahn. You were warned about the dangers of that blade. It nearly killed Betsalynn and Scarge when making it. The amount of Lustful Annihilation it stores is beyond eve what you can hold as of now." Shiishiigami explained.
"Tch, but if I transform I can-
"If you need to transform for it, then you're not worthy of using it. It's drain your forms dry just to fuel its own destructive erges. That blade is alive, and stores more essence than you. You must know what that means, right?" Gaia explained.
"I do know, bu-
"But nothing, daughter. You're well aware that you nearly died the first few times you used that thing!" Our father walked towards my little sister.
"Listen babes, you just get you base for to the level required to use it properly. On top of only doing so when all else has failed. Meaning all of your efforts were in vain, and your comrades are pushed to no return. Do you know why?" Our father looked deep into her soul.
"No, I've always assumed I was only required to gain the strength needed. Why the other restriction?!"
"Heh, that's easy. That sword has sealed away your true power, so in short. You must become satisfied with who you'll become when this blade can truly be used at its fullest power!" Our father claimed proudly.
"Oh wow...
"Yes, that is the truth. You and that sword are one in the same, after all."
"Hmph, my sister will not despair... NONE OF US WILL!!"
ZeeNasia stood there in her fifth release for the first time ever. She immediately evolved to an identical form as my own. Her blade danced with ribbons of essence attached to it. Her form was all white, producing days of lust that pulled everyone's attention to her. Even my own.
One could say that her form was absolutely beautiful. Her three eyes dazzled with red, radiant light that brought about a pulse within everyone's hearts. ZeeNanasa being the main one out of the many. I could barely believe my eyes, I could barely believe how drawn I was to her. My lust for ZeeNanasa's shadow was driven to an all time low. Whilst my lust for ZeeNasia grew to an all time high. I had to make her mine, all MINE! Her dazzling form, the hourglass figure, the flowing garbs that wrap her body like a Greek goddess. Her crown was shaped like branches with white flames in the shape of ribbons flowing from them. Six layers of this formed above her head, her hair turned white, forming braids that ran around her scalp like a spiral. Turning into a near bon at the top of her head. Her bands looked like crescent moons as they flowed down her face. I could barely contain myself when staring at such majesty.
"My sister shall rise above you, Atomen. So how this, I will not be the one to defeat you, I'm merely her inspiration. But know this...
Tears flowed down her beautiful face as she stared into my very soul.
"You shall pay for injuring my husband to such a degree. For killing my friends, and most of all... for KILLING MY BROTHER!!"
She flowed last me like an elegant stream. Slashing through my body well over a thousand times in that instance. She was even in her titan form to face my true Stuliathan form. Yet she turned me into mincemeat!
"I can barely believe my eyes. If only Heemy could see you, Nasia. Then again, if only he could see me as well. Sitting here in despair when I should be fighting to honor his sacrifice. What a disgrace." Tears flowed down my face in endless streams. My heart was broken, torn asunder. Yet I couldn't help but ignore it all when watching my little sister fight. She was gorgeous on the battlefield!
"Hmph, it would seem my brother's being pushed back yet again. I can't allow that, so it's a good thing I've managed to fend you off, Xebeel." Harpenyoloko vanished after tiring out Xebeel. He was missing an arm and fatigued to all hell. Though, she looked no different if we're to be honest.
My sister joined me at my side, blocking the incoming sword strike from that abhorrent ZeeNasia. Harpen released a mass combo of sword slashes using her version of the Excalibur. ZeeNasia went back to using one handed swordplay. She blocked each and every attack my sister managed to release. Her eyes were constantly fixated on me, causing my lust to run wild. She purposely used a sloppy thrust to get my sister to dodge. With her thrusting arm, she elbowed Harpen in the side of the head. It knocked her off balance just long enough for ZeeNasia to come after me instead.
"Damn, she's a scary one indeed!" Harpen thought to herself.
ZeeNasia blitzed me once more, slashing through my flesh countless times in that next moment. I withstood those strikes and counters with a jab beyond time and space. To my surprise... She withstood my punch, fixing her glare onto me. Within that moment, her glare forced me into a lust fueled regret. I was tormented internally, deep within my spirit. H-How could I... strike Lady ZeeNasia in such a way!?
"Hmph, it's such an advantage having a sin concept." ZeeNasia chuckles as she slashes Atomen in half.
"Tch, you think slashing me in half will work? We'll both just have half the amount of Lust within us, foolish goddess!!" Two Atomen now spoke to ZeeNasia.
They dashed towards her front whilst Harpenyoloko dashed towards her six. ZeeNasia blocked and dodged all of their attacks while flying backwards. Warding off their conjoined efforts to take her down. She would eventually go on to split herself in two whilst fighting them. Kicking one of the Atomen and Harpenyoloko into the distance simultaneously.
"Since our signature katana is a singularity and cannot replicate itself. Take my our blade me, and keep that hussy at bay. I'll have my way with her brother over here." ZeeNasia explained to her clone.
"Will do, ZeeNasia." The clone flew into Harpenyoloko's guard using her dual katanas.
ZeeNasia herself now danced around the void, dodging Atomen and his clone. Though it's better to say the two Atomen, his clones are actual true versions of him as well. ZeeNasia controlled the very flow of their fight, blocking their attacks all at once as they surround her from both sides. She manages to knock one a few meters away. Swiping downwards casually with her blade as Atomen blocks and it repells it. She uses it as cover to close the distance between them. She forced him into a fierce exchange of strikes using and mixture of Wing Chun and Muay Thai. He was quickly backed into a corner from her rapid strikes. They acted as a blindfold that completely covered the coming elbow that devastated his senses. A heavy side kick sent him flying into the distance. ZeeNasia then twirled about like a ballerina, approaching the other Atomen and her blade with masterful elegance. Her garbs came up, revealing the arm of another ZeeNasia who took hold of the blade and slashed the approaching Atomen in two.
"Tuh, do you idiots not learn you lesso-
She proceeded to cut him into a dozen pieces in that next second. But those fourteen pieces turned into fourteen more Atomen.
"Heh, so cloning is your game now? Particle clones no less!" ZeeNasia laughed as she split into thirteen more clones of herself.
"Tch, I see now... You've been copying my cloning ability. Meaning you're all the true ZeeNasia as well!" I was infuriated by the audacity of this little bitch!!
We all rushed to blitz her, on for every single ZeeNasia to already be sitting in front of us, already in a position and stance to slash us all down. The first one cut me in half, as she finished the slash, the sword teleported away. Every ZeeNasia after that began to slash as if they had the sword already. By the time each one completed their movement, all of us were cut in half and a different way and styling. Her swordplay was ever growing!
"Oh wow, your lust for cloning is miniscule at best!" The little bitch stated.
"She forced us all to focus on regeneration rather than splitting apart. Clever little Lustful *****."
"Now, chase us if you can, Atomen. We contro this battle!!" ZeeNasia dashed off into the void, our lust for her forced us to follow after her. By then, there were twenty more being chased by Harpenyoloko as well.
"Sheesh, I hate to say it... But she'd actually give me a run for my money. I've gotta train some more." Seightahn chugged a bottle of ale whilst watching my sister's movements slowly within the pages of my story. Her presence transcends the plot completely, so her movements must be watched in real time. They cannot be read in comic form by Seightahn. Though... Medusaria was a different story. My sister was merely a drawn character on a page to her.
"Heh, yes you do. If I'm to be honest, Tahny... I'm going to need you to catch up to my sisters and I." She glared at him with an innocent smile that hid menacing intensity behind it.
"Hmph, I can guess why, and I agree. He'll be that strong after the harsh trials he'll face in the far off future. Such intense fate!" Seightahn smashed the bottle in the palm of his hand.
"Heh, yeah, that kid's going to be strong." Medusaria states.
I finally got to moving my legs, my tears evaporating as my essence began to climb. My eyes were fixated on my sister doing all the work for us. She and her clones fended off every attack coming their way, controlling the movements and decisions of Harpen and Atomen all at once. All of their clones would eventually be forced to meet on one spot. Smashing their attacks into one massive bomb that blew them all our way at rapid speed. Harpenyoloko and Atomen managed to stop themselves whilst ZeeNasia flew all the way towards me. She slid into my hand as I placed it on her back, sliding my fingers on her delicate, yet firm back. I placed my hand on her shoulder, walking past her with my body healing itself back to full health.
"Sis, what are you-
"The others feel the same way I do, ZeeNasia. Don't do this alone, we've already heard your message loud and clear." I smiled as I looked back at her.
She turned, panning as she scanned the battlefield. Everyone was standing once more, healing themselves as much as possible whilst entering whatever the highest form their body will allow. Each and every single person was smiling at my baby sister. Rallying with applause and cheers at her performance. It truly inspired them all to keep fighting, despite the massive losses we have suffered as a whole. We were all sad, upset, tired, and feeling lost. Yet we still had a light that showed us the way to victory. ZeeNasia became that very light for us all.
"Let's make sure the two of us can buy everyone some time, sis. My role within all of this separates me from the laws of Seightahn's Omniverse." I explained.
"What the!?"
"What's the matter, Seightahn?" Medusaria was filled with curiosity.
"Heh, she truly is a threat! That little twerp is able to break our laws, Medusaria!" Seightahn snickered, smiling like the devil that he is.
I broke the chains that won't allow those that evolve, or already belonged to the Omniverse that Seightahn heils from to enter their sixth release. The permission that they all need no longer applies to me. I entered the forn without a kick of hesitation, dawning garbs that looked identical to ZeeNasia's own. They were very reminiscent of our royal garbs from our family's formal attire. My hair copied ZeeNasia's, going into braids that formed a bun. The bun turned into long locs that turned into coils and crescents. My crown adjusted into seven layers of flames and stars in the shape of Aztec-esque aesthetics. My arms and legs were covered in armor of the same liking. My face was covered by a brilliant, diamond mask that left my eyes and above revealed. I was bare foot, just like my hubby was whenever he entered his fifth release. In this form, my sister and I can stand as equals!
"Now then, let me stack in Arch-Infinity and we're ready to go!" I snarled as I glared at Atomen and his sister.
"Oh yeah, I want to do that too!" ZeeNasia copied me with ease and stacked her Arch formon top of her fifth release.
"Fuuuuuuuuck, she can do it too!?!" Seightahn pulled some of his hair out as his body turned cartoonish.
"Heh! Oh yeah, let's get the rest of my factor back!" We both vanished into the void.
"Here they come, Ato-
"We're already here!" ZeeNasia smacked Harpenyoloko in the back of the head. Chasing after her right after landing that heavy swing.
"Tch, you think the two of you can stop us!?" Atomen snarled like a mad beast as every fiber of his being stood on the edge.
"You'll be paying a hefty debt for your transgressions, Ato." My voice grew soft, yet commanded high volumes of malice and anger behind it. It was a calm storm that flowed perfectly with my current demeanor.
Atomen sent millions of attacks my way. It was easy to say that I was bombarded and immediately overwhelmed to the average eye.
"Zee!?" My elder sister called out
"Heh, she's perfectly fine, ZeeNastasia." My mother implied.
She pointed at my shadow as it walked out of a large cloud of smoke, suds, particles, and broken down matter. Everyone could see the frustration on Atomen's face when he realized my dome of Annihilation could fend off his attacks.
"Dammit all! She's even got more of a grip over the storyline and plot now!!" Atomen flew forward in a frenzy.
"Oh, that won't do!" I smirked at him as he came towards me.
I attempted to smash my fist through her skull, but she dodged at the last millisecond. I followed up that attack with an endless flow of strikes. She dodged every single one of them with ease, barely taking a single step from the position she held when I began my assault. It infuriated me even more than before, though, luckily for me. I witnessed Harpen actually giving some pressure to that meddlesome ZeeNasia. It would seem that her affinity for lust had grown even higher than my own.
Should you be this distracted, Ato?
I turned around to backhand ZeeNanasa, but she was already squatting low. She pushed my back foot out of position and upwards. Then she effortlessly flowed upwards with a large uppercut that throttled me upwards. I was forced to tuck my body and enter a stream of clips in order to gain some space from her.
"Atomen."
Unheard my name as I set my feet onto my platform.
"What is it!?"
"I finally reached a level where I can truly peer into your being. You're equal to a complex Colossaverse, which just means...
"NRRRGHH!!"
"You're nothing more than a story to be read. In my current case... I can rewrite your pathetic history if I so wished to!" Her words pierced my soul.
Suddenly, a hand pierced my back and came out of my chest. Within it, the ball of essence that is ZeeNanasa's Protagonist factor.
"Nrgh!? Wh-When did you...
"She created me when you were distracted by your sister's performance." My clone killed the factor out as she vanished into the void. Within that very next moment, the factor was within my hand as if I was the one who took it.
"How in the verse are you-
"That hardly matters right now, Atomen. This factor that has entered my body is MINE! It has been cultivated by me, nurtured by everyone around you, even yourself. You're nothing more than contribution to all of our stories! It's just unfortunate that you had to take from me in my own. Had this been someone else's, had just aimed for someone else's... You'd have had a different outcome!" I delivered a small speech that struck the core of who he is as a whole.
"Nrrrrgh!!! I... Did... Not... Come herrrre... to FAIL. You think you stand above me!?! You think ANY OF YOU CRETINS CAN STAND ABOVE ATOMEN!!? I'll show you that you can't!!" His rage shook the very core of our Omniverse, even from this far away.
"Hmm... He's actually going to use it, eh?" Harpenyoloko smiled at her brother.
"What is it that he's using, Harpen?" ZeeNasia asked. Standing next to Harpenyoloko as if she were a good friend.
"Heh, just sit here and watch Nasia. It's going to affect our battle any damn way!" Harpen's eye twitched a bit as she forced an innocent smile.
"Hmph, alright." ZeeNasia replied.
"HUUUOOOORRRGHHHH!!!!! Let the Particles Stand... STILL!!" Atomen's hands shot outwards.
From them came an influence that could grow in boundless fashion. It stretched to the current, temporary ends of our Omniverse over a length of time. That same influence made every single particle within it stop, I mean it's functions were nullified and every single one was frozen. The Colossaverses stood still, every verse within them stood still, and every being, no matter how big or how small. All of us were frozen stuff by this technique.
"What in the...
Lord Shiishiigami was completely stunned in every way possible. He and the others desperately try to move their bodies, but there was no luck. Even Harpenyoloko was being affected by the technique.
"This is why I advised we watch. Could you imagine being frozen in an awkward fighting pose for who knows how long?" Harpen rolled her eyes in frustration.
"Yeah, that was some sound advice." ZeeNasia ended up frozen to a point where her gaze was fixed on Harpenyoloko.
"Interestingly enough, she's barely killed anyone, and all of them were in self defense. Hmm... Harpen feels very familiar." ZeeNasia thought to herself as she carefully studied Harpen.
Meanwhile, Atomen was busy huffing and puffing, exhausted from the use of this massive technique of his. He looked around to see if anyone had been able to resist, but he could find not one soul. His face showed satisfaction and pure ecstasy. He was happy to see that his hard work and sacrifices could be honored with this victory. So... He stood tall, taking some deep breaths before facing me. Walking towards me casually as he prepared to take my factor for the final time.
"You've been quite the adversary, ZeeNanasaaaa! BUT... OOOHHHH, but-but, but... it's no dice, Zee. This story will be mine, as well as so many others. It shouldn't take too many of them before I reach the hidden main storyline. I bet it's hidden somewhere in one of STRIFE's stories." His hand began to come near my neck.
"That's a sound plan, Atomen. But it'll fail!" I smiled at him, revealing my cancelling of his influence.
Just as he noticed, his hand was completely annihilated by my barrier.
"Don't you see!?" I completely destroy the epicenter of his attack, rendering it null and void.
"Sh-She... completely destroyed it!? Then he about...
"Ah, he's attempting to edit the outcomes leading to this scenario. A skilled writer he is, but...
I snapped my fingers violently and loudly.
"No dice."
"Wooooaaahh-ho-hoooo!!! Zee outchea bringing despair to dem villains, yo. Word to!" Jah'malle shouted.
"It is natural outcome, brather. Atomen stood no chance." Sinnthia added on.
"Of course not. That bitch killed our Heemy after all.
Everyone smiled as they watched me cancel each and every attack Atomen could offer.
As this was all taking place, the blood that dropped into our verse fell towards the location of Griffaduff. Lady Leigh'Rei could sense the essence within as it dropped on her forehead. Evaporating as it made contact with her skin.
"Gah... Oh my prono, noo-ho-hoooo!!! No no NOOOO!!!" She fell to her knees, surrounded by many who were concerned. Amongst those people were her husband, and Heemy's younger siblings.
"What's going on mom!?"
"Talk to us, hun!" Lord ReighHeem insisted.
"No, no noooo. Aaaah, ReighHeem! It's our baby boy!"
"What, what about him!?" He grabbed her shoulders in concern.
"He's... H-He's... he's GOOOOONNNNEE!!!" Hee eyes overflowed with tears.
"WHAT!?"
"Brother ReighHeem is....
"Dead??"
His brothers fell to their knees alongside their mother. The entire group surrounding them began to mourn such a powerful loss to our beloved Colossaverse. I could feel their sorrow, their agony. It only made me want to end thinga even sooner. All so that I, and everyone else could mourn right along with those back home.
"Heh, now that your sister's broken the technique. Shall we continue our fight-
"What the!?" ZeeNasia stared in shock, witnessing a hand shoot out of Harpenyoloko's chest.
"Apologies Harpen, but we need you to sit down already. Atomen needs to be our only enemy, don't you agree?"
"Gah, I should've... killed you, Xebeel!" Harpen smiled as she grasped his hand.
"But, yes... I do agree. It's high time I say this one out. My avatar within Cheater's Banquet would agree." She feel to her knees as Xebeel removed his hand.
"Her clone within Cheater's Banquet? Isn't that where...
"Ah shit."
"What's wrong, Harpen?" Cheater Clarissa asked.
"It would seem my true self has finally given up. Which means you won our little off screen bet, Rissa." Cheater Harpen states.
"So it would seem, Harpen. Does that mean you'll assist me?"
"Mhm.... look here, Rissa. This realm has allowed me to cheat in every way possible. That means, I've seen your history, and you've seen mine. I know you exist beyond the firmament, I know what you've witnessed and I have now witnessed it too. So of course I'll fucking help you... It was never a question!"
"Heh, good to hear it, Harpen. Good to hear it...
With Atomen being the only enemy left standing, I decided to go all in. Destroying every attack he released just as he released it. I copied an ability only Lord Shiishiigami and other DivineReapers have learned to use. It was an ability that causes death to any and all plans conjured before it's gaze. It's known as... Eyes of the Strategist. In my case, my gaze annihilates all before me. His frustration grew to unfathomable levels, and he finally released a sloppy attack for me to exploit. I immediately annihilate the technique, closing the distance all in the same breath. He attempted to gain some distance between us, but all that did was increase the opening I had already created.
"Son of a...
"Activate the Concept; Destruction: Absolute fist of ReighHeem Destructor II!!!" I thrusted my fist into his chest and let my essence fly.
"NYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Atomen shouted in agony.
"HUUUOOOORRRGHHHH!!!!" I increased my output the moment I felt his essence influx.
"GRUUUUUAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHH!!!" Atomen's entire body was engulfed by my attack. Becoming the center of a large blast whose light illuminated more than forty verses within the distance. Everyone present was forced to cover their eyes and brace for impact. The force alone made it feel as though they could be ripped apart. Luckily, it would only last for a moment before everything died down, and my technique would come to an end.
"Nrgh, s-so... is it over, brah!?" Dila asked.
"Who knows. But one thing I can say, Atomen's essence has finally diminished by quite a bit." Tjaye answered.
Everyone would go on to bare witness to me standing over a defeated Atomen. He was forced to his knees as I held a beam to his head. Its essence and shape were identical to the technique I used just now. So everyone already knew he'd be completely annihilated in a few moments.
"Tsssk... H-how.. did you... do it?? How did you .. overcome me?" He struggled to lift his head in his attempt to make eye contact with me.
"Hmph... It was the discovery of my role, you idiot. Not only is it my protagonist factor, my comrades, my evolution, my thirst for vengeance, no. No, not only is it those, but it also my role as the Law of Annihilation. Existence of any kind must have destruction and Annihilation as part of its core laws. It seems you forgot that even after stealing my storyline. So, basically... what I'm saying is this. You were always destined to fall to my Annihilation, Ato."
His many eyes grew large, staring in shock as his head is lowered. His lust for victory was gone, and his essence depleted. He has no drive left, no motivation pushing him forward.
"On with it." He stated as his body finally regenerates completely.
"Hmph, not even a lick of resistance, eh? How sad."
"Just... Get on with it, ZeeNanasa."
"Tuh, fine. May you be remembered by you lingering ashes within our verse, Atome-
Suddenly, my body broke down as my form completely deactivated.
"Huh!?"
"What's going on, she was just fine!!" My mother shouted.
"Damn, it's the darn fatigue from using powah beyond her current limits!" Xenophia shouted.
"Dah, that is correct, dear." Lord Zzaint states.
They watched as I feel to the floor beside Atomen. He could barely believe his stroke of luck. Me, someone who had grown too powerful for him, had finally fallen to her own might. He rose to his feet, staring down at me as I twisted in agony. I could feel my every fiber tearing itself apart. Atomen himself could see it all occurring in real time. All that did is bring an even greater smile to his face. He began to cackle and laugh, cursing my being and everyone else around us. Rejoicing in his victory as he reached down to grab my neck.
"Heheheheeee, you're all mine now, Protagonist factor, ZeeNanasa. Come to your new maste-
"As if I'd allow such a thing!!"
"Wait a second, uce! That voice!?"
"Yeah, I heard it too, but it can't be."
Kolipso and Melumini'itii stepped forward with Dannadise and Xeno.
"I'd know that voice anywhere!"
"It's...
"That bastard, JOSIE!!?" Atomen looked down to see various claws portruding from his body. All of them belonged to the weapon Josie had made by Lady Betsalynn.
"Yo, that's our handiwork, ain't it, babe!?" Scarye was perplexed.
"Yeah, it's the beast weaponry we made for young Josie!" Lady Betsalynn replied.
Everyone watched as Atomen went berserk in his attempts to atomize the claws. Each one he managed to destroy ended up birthing two more to replace. His body grew to its massive titan size in response to such an assault. Just as he did, his essence erupted in a similar fashion to that if Minatotowein and Maleignos. Right before the two of the detonated themselves.
"Damn sis, what are we going to do!?" Hakeem asked.
"I'm not sure, but I'm certain we'll get through this!" Clarissa replied.
"Damn right we will. I'll make sure this is a jolly good show, and a jolly good endin' for everyone!!" Dannadise shouted.
She turned her essence into a live torpedo as she sped towards Atomen. Her essence blinded him and binded him, ramming into his chest head on. Whilst that held him at bay, Dannadise smashed into his body and hit his many concept cores. Finishing off her assault with a mighty slash to the tail. Afterwards, she was rendered immobile. She had used the remaining bit of her essence for that assault. But it was more than enough to give Shiishiigami, Gaia, and Xenophia the opening they needed.
"His cores are weakened, we can finally remove them and make him vulnerable for sealing or extermination." Shiishiigami stated.
"Indeed, let's make use of this opportunity!" Xenophia insisted.
"Hmph, we can finally end this thanks to Annihilo-Sect and Young STRIFE." Lady Gaia cracked her knuckles in excitement.
All three of them blasted off, traveling high above Atomen. Their essence combined into one as they turned about to look down upon Atomen. Their attack became a mighty spear that came crashing down on Atomen. It's speed was too great to dodge in his current state, and the power was too much to handle. His being wasn't going to survive such an onslaught, and the concepts being used were untouchable thanks to their combined Thingchi. It was truly a checkmate situation.
"Ah... So this is what it feels like to lose miserably, eh? I've been viewing this as a dream for quite some time, wondering if I could actually lose. If I can actually be pushed back in such a way, if I can actually go down even after everything I've done? It's a shame really, because when I think back on it. I told myself I'd never lose like my brother, Rasho did. Though, in the end... I should've actually learned from his mistake, and listened to my mother. I should have left this verse alone, but it's too late for that now. I guess I'll be sealed away too now...
Eh, brother Rasho??"
