Chapter 219 - 219 - Beyond

*

Their time sped into the future and back, movements beyond understanding crossed against one another, intertwining into a helix outside destiny. There was no time to rest, no time to breath, no time to see, no time to smell, no time to feel. Every action was made with meaning, and sometimes even without meaning, yet all tie into the grand picture as if painting the world into existence. In other words, things are either done with meaning, or you couldn't see the meaning.

Her snow white hair tinted with a gold edge and stood up in a shape skin to fox ears covered her combat dress lusciously. It bobbed around and waved, as if they had a mind of their own and were planning their enemy's demise. Her black robe was covered with gold and light blue ruins and other undescripable imagery, their texture transcended beyond texture and their every miniscule movement permeated with an S grade amount of magic. But S grade was practically a single star in the entire universe compared to their true power.

Her black robe wrapped around her ample breast, waist and upper arms while leaving her shoulders and skin exposed above her chest. However, she looks nothing like a human. Above her neck where her head was supposed to be... Was only a dark shadow that bore into the canvas of reality and the canvas below that. The eye that sees beyond the canvas, and beyond every reality. It has even caught a glimpse of those beyond her world, yet peering into it. But as they are mere observers, she pays them no heed.

Her outfit was a wavy black robe that extended below her legs, they wrap around her hips yet seperate at the thighs, leaving her bare legs exposed. A thick gold ring akin to a shackle wraps itself around the top of her ankles and wrists, black and red engravings glow and paint their colour onto their surroundings. Usually with mortal eyes, they would simple see her normal face, sometimes even see her third eye open and observe her pupils turn into a a pasty white surrounded by neon red.

In other words, at present, her third eye has brought out so much of its power that it has pierce into reality with its mere presence. Reality shows up as a big dark hole covering her face. Nothing inside and nothing out. The Eye God had been fighting the progenitor since the fight with Kaori and the others ended, it had been an indefinite amount of time. When super beings that could erase the timeline and replace it with their desired reality fight, the concept of time was lost right at the start.

Her silhouette causes a fissure, shaking up and down with vibrating figure, causing it to have what looked like a halation.

On the other side was The progenitor who essentially wore what seemed to be a wedding dress. It was similar in that I didn't cover anything above the chest, but there were black unattached sleeves that covered from her elbow to her wrists, along with large gold collars that floated in the air next to her wrist.

Her dress was a white that was embroidered with beautiful eastern gold art resembling the journey of an eastern dragon. Or was it the Greek Ouroboros? Regardless, she was adorned with a serpant type dragon that stretched from top to bottom.

After The Eye God caused the halation, she disappears from view. Countless arms stretch through the sky, their fingers slithering and crawling among one another to reach the perceived end. In an instant, they burrowed through The progenitor's flesh but disintegrate in the next instant. A blade swings down to meet her head, but The progenitor vanishes in the next instant as well. She swings her leg high, aiming to take off The Eye God's head in one fell swoop, but before she noticed, The Eye God was already standing behind her.

A massive finger impales The progenitor from the sky, they then switch places at once. The Eye God was now the one who was impaled and The progenitor watching. But magic after continuous magic activated before hand. Counter after counter, an infinite amount welled up, and it all ignited each other up into a huge explosion. They switch places once more as the air erupted without flames.

Pure destructive magical energy capable of killing god magical girls... Stopped in mid air. The explosion stopped in the middle as it was about the spread everywhere. It shows up as a dense light suspended in mid air, ready to consume all if it were to release.

In the next instant, The Eye God was in the dense light, but she isolated all the energy into another dimension. 4 blades impale her at once, then 4 blades impale The progenitor but were larger. As if it were all a dream, the scenery changes without pause and now they were in the stratosphere. Both would have been plummeting to their death if not for their ability to isolate themselves in mid air. Facing each other head on, they switch places again but we're staring at opposite sides.

Once more, both vanished as the air combusted at their previous spots. So much energy was compressed in their previous spots, they became blackholes before being isolated into another world again. Both were librarians, both could use any skill in existence that is to their knowledge. Paired up with the Eye God's omniscience, she could use any skill in existence, granting her a slight advantage over The progenitor. However The progenitor wasn't some new kid around the block, she had also lived for centuries and learned of the world before appearing in front of The Eye God.

The Eye God swings her fingers, chopping down the air in a knife like motion as a fleshy meat webbed wing wraps around The progenitor. The flesh then explodes, leaving black fluid spilt over The Eye God's face and cursing her body to remove it's magic. But they switch places once more, and The progenitor absorbs the fluid back. In this style, they had constantly been launching pre-attacks.

As they could react and redirect to attacks with infinite speed, the next step was to win before you fight. Attacking without thinking to achieve the highest speed, then to initiate moves before the attacks end. In other words, one can cast the magic in the past and have it only take effect in the present. In that style, they can execute multiple attacks at the same time.

They both cough out blood. They move at infinite speed, fight at infinite speed. They loss the need to breath or rest, retaining only battle. In caution against the other, they became machines of magical combat with the maximum efficiency. A tiny slip up now, was akin to a loss. The Eye God twists her fingers against her palm, crushing them with an otherworldly force as she writes into the world with her blood.

Her fingers were healed in an instant as she finishes her spell, multiple other spells helped to defend her while she etched out her magic. From The progenitor's perspective, it seemed like the spell had been completed in an instant, and so there was nothing she could do about it unless her pre attack managed to strike her down before the spell activated.

A blade of white slices through anything in its way, it cuts The Eye God's head off as there is no longer any concept of 'distance' or 'obstacle'. The Eye God retaliates in response, her preemptive magic caused her neck to slice the blade in half, her figure disappears and reappears above The progenitor, launching a successive barrage of giant finger nails. The nails sliced through anything in existence, imposing the concept of 'cut' and 'segregated' upon it's target. The progenitor had long dodged it before it was even launched, she was standing far away and behind The Eye God, so she launches her next attack.

The Eye God flashes through the air, lowering the entire column of the world and space itself downwards, she swings her arm down to send magical blades at The progenitor. But The progenitor slides around the attacks and arrive behind The Eye God, she then freezes into the air, immobilised by The Eye God's magic. The Eye God makes a crushing motion with her fingers and palm, sending invisible force to crush The progenitor to a pulp, but The progenitor gets up close and the world turns upside down.

They walk against the boundary of space, the karman line. The progenitor teleports to the space in front of The Eye God and sends a high kick. Space fractures and decimates her lack into chunks of flesh, severing it like mince meat as blood drips and falls out. But blood 'falls' back into her body as she rewinds their positions back into their previous stances. Time isn't rewound and actually continues forward, but the positions of their bodies are forced to go back to their previous state.

The Eye God stomps into the space below it, cracking every perceived boundary. The cracks continue to travel and do not stop on the ground, they travelled over The progenitor's body, shattering it. But as usual, it was her afterimage that was destroyed. And her real body had already moved behind The Eye God as a knife falls into her head, before exploding into a giant mushroom with colourful patches of pink, green, blue, orange and purple. The mushroom sucks our magic from its vicinity, though it was a fake that was mutilated and not the real Eye God.

Once again, the world flips back around and they are back on the ground, but standing above a rapidly moving train. Though they are moving so fast that time looks like it had stopped in their perception, so the train was in fact at a standstill. Before either of the other party notices, nails have impaled every inch of The progenitor's body and The Eye God's body had split into numerous 1 cm length cubes that dispersed into the air like a meaty hail.

It was if both parties were watching behind a television screen, playing out their own fantasies inside the screen. They both pretended to be deeply hurt by the other's attack, sneering to themselves as they await the next opportunity to hurt each other...

Then that television screen cracked! A hand reaches out, grabbing at The Eye God's neck, strangling it as she spoke with a low voice full of rapture and fury at the same time.

"I GOT YOU." (Zedicia)

"DO YOU?! " (Himei)

"HEHEHEH!! " (Zedicia)

"HAHAHAH!!!" (Himei)

"HEHEH HAHAHAH!!! (ZEDICIA)

" HAHAHAH HEHEHHAH!!!!!! " (HIMEI)

The laughter doesn't end, both their legs lift up into the air. Both are strangling the other while levitating upwards. It becomes a competition for height. Their altitudes continuously increase, attempting to one up the other, until...

Everything around them disintegrates, even the atoms. All the particles' energy is released in the form of destruction. Everything returns to a blank white as the light of the destruction blankets everything. They reform their bodies back from nothing, immediately the progenitor has made the first move. Right after revival, she lodged her her arm into one of The Eye God's lungs. As she did so, her arm was simultaneously severed along with all of her other limbs.

Both had made pre moves prior to the revival. In this battle, final pace, last pace or whatever is no longer a defining factor of the fight. In fact, it is the entry requirement. Both move at a speed beyond final pace, beyond light and beyond an instant. There was no more meaning to speed, only smarts and strengths. Can one kill the other and stop their revival? Can one take away the other's immortality permanently? They've both lived pretty long lives, it was a given that they fought plenty of immortals. Even immortals beyond the level of normal magical girls, other God magical girls.

The scenery changes once more, they are back at her throne. She sits atop, the throne began emitting otherworldly levels of magic and exhibit characteristics similar to her eye. In an instant, the mountain of gold had turned into a black, as if reality was bring censored. But it wasn't actually censored in reality, it was The progenitor'mind censoring the throne. It couldn't comprehend the higher dimensional texture of it. She felt like she was staring at an old God that was about to execute her.

Her white dress fluttered and floated, an enormous translucent yellow bell covers the entire room, ringing incessantly. Both have stored up plenty of weapons over the years. The Eye God moves a single muscle, the bell rings. Her skin and magic circuits are ripped out of her body and flashy fashion, her flesh danced in strips that flailed in the air.

The progenitor on the other hand had been crushed to a pulp, her entire body flattened into the size of a pancake. Usually, people would be flattened to an infinitely miniscule height, they become a mere 2 dimensional circular disk. The fact that she had some thickness to her disk was a testament to her strength.

"Your body will help you kill yourself!" (Zedicia)

"Flattened!!! Kneel!!! Lay your head down, you mutt!!!!" (Himei)
