Chapter 21 - Chapter 20 – Multi-Lane Madness: Sandbox Unleashed

POV: DIOKA

Dioka hovered above the arena, spinning a shard of fractured energy lazily between his fingers. Below him, the first multi-lane elite team had arrived—four apex supernovas, each from a different lane, coordinated and terrifyingly efficient.

> "Ooooh, big brain squad," Dioka muttered. "Fancy costumes, too. Cute."

One of them, an Elemental Lane master, conjured a tornado that shredded the platforms beneath. Another, a Cognition Lane genius, projected dozens of psychic duplicates. The third, a Phantom Lane infiltrator, appeared behind Dioka. The fourth, a Time-Skew Lane manipulator, slowed the space around them.

> "Teamwork! Adorable!" Dioka called out, twirling his shard.

---

POV: GUAKULIA

Guakulia crossed his arms, feet floating over a jagged energy fragment.

> "They think lanes matter," he said. "We'll… demonstrate otherwise."

With a flick of his wrist, he created a miniature energy vortex. It absorbed the tornado, the psychic duplicates, and even the Phantom's sudden strike—then spat them out in random directions.

> "Oops," Guakulia said, shrugging.

---

POV: MULTI-LANE TEAM

The team tried coordination:

Elemental's fire fused with Time-Skew's slow-motion, hoping to trap Dioka.

Phantom and Cognition tried a twin-pronged psychic and phase attack.

Every attack missed. Every trap bent backward. Every strategy failed.

> "How… how are they reacting so fast?!" Cognition Lane screamed.

> "This… this isn't possible," Time-Skew muttered, watching reality itself fold around Dioka and Guakulia.

---

POV: DIOKA & GUAKULIA – TEAM SYNERGY

Dioka launched shards in a pattern that looked random, but each was perfectly timed to redirect attacks back at the elites harmlessly, leaving their formations disoriented.

> "You're in my sandbox now," Dioka called.

Guakulia grinned, tossing an orb. When it hit the ground, the arena morphed: platforms twisted, gravity inverted in patches, and half the team tumbled like puppets on invisible strings.

> "We'll need new moves to keep up with us," Guakulia said.

---

POV: MULTI-LANE TEAM – PANIC MODE

The elites tried everything: combining lanes, doubling attacks, splitting dimensions. Still, Dioka and Guakulia dodged, deflected, and laughed like maniacs.

> "They're… enjoying this?" Elemental Lane whispered.

"We can't even touch them…" Phantom Lane growled.

---

POV: COMMENTATORS & ARENA AI

The arena sensors overloaded again. Damage metrics maxed, reality distortion warnings flashed red. The AI's voice glitched:

> "Anomalies—exceeding all expected parameters—cannot… contain… maximum threat…"

Commentators scrambled to update their livestreams. Analysts fainted.

> "We're witnessing… impossible gameplay," one cried.

---

POV: DIOKA – CHAOTIC MASTER

Dioka twirled a shard through the air, spinning it so it generated minor gravitational waves. Platforms shifted under the elites' feet.

> "Ohhh, careful," Dioka said. "You might… fall."

Elemental tried to conjure a wall of flame. Dioka casually phased through it.

> "Wall's cute. Gonna keep it?"

---

POV: GUAKULIA – PLAYFUL DOMINANCE

Guakulia hovered, tapping the air like a DJ. Time-Skew's slowing field? Reversed it. Cognition's psychic waves? Redirected into harmless loops. Phantom Lane's sneaky strike? Teleported behind them and tickled their feet.

> "Relax," he said. "It's just a game."

The team struggled to regain balance. Their coordinated assault crumbled like sandcastles in a tsunami.

---

POV: ARENA OBSERVERS

Remote elites watched in horror.

> "They're… actually having fun annihilating apex multi-lane teams," one whispered.

"This isn't skill. This isn't power. This is… chaos incarnate," another muttered.

Even SSS+ veterans admitted they'd never seen anything like it.

---

POV: DIOKA & GUAKULIA – FINAL PLAY

Dioka spun a shard, creating a mirrored battlefield where the elites' attacks collided with each other.

> "Look!" Dioka said. "We call this… Team Confusion™."

Guakulia added:

> "Step two: optional chaos."

The elites scrambled, disoriented. One tripped into the mirrored field and ended up back where they started, dazed and humiliated.

> "We could end this," Dioka said, "but… nah. Let's see how far this goes."

They laughed, bouncing on energy platforms, tossing shards like confetti.

ENDING SCENE – GLOBAL IMPACT

Every broadcasted feed from the arena went wild:

Fans cheered.

Analysts panicked.

Governments considered emergency measures.

And above the chaos, floating on their rock-like platforms, Dioka and Guakulia high-fived.

> "Tournament of God?" Dioka said. "More like… our playground."

"Exactly," Guakulia added.

"Let's keep the fun going."

The multi-lane team? Broken, humiliated, still alive—but painfully aware they had just faced anomalies beyond comprehension.
