Red light suddenly mixed into the ball of aura before Akuro waved his hand down and it came down like an asteroid striking the earth, but when it made contact there was no tremor, no violent quaking of the earth, no explosion. It was like he'd simply thrown a black hole, swallowing everything it touched and obliterating it into nothing, wiping the land itself out of existence. A moment later, the ball shrank down suddenly, condensing to a small point before blasting violently outwards in red light that swallowed everything the moon's light touched.
When the explosion faded out, it was as if the world had been terraformed, the entire strip of land nothing more than a crater, save for a tall pillar that Fort Arashi sat atop. As well as a faint silver light.
"Im surprised you could survive that." Akuro spoke, his tone cold and emotionless as he descended towards the wall of light. As he landed on the ground, the earth shattered under his feet from the sheer pressure of his aura, anything that came even near to him was torn apart.
Akuro slowly walked towards the silver wall, and when he reached it, he simply raised his hand and put his finger on it, which caused it to shatter to nothing. Inside was revealed Moorza, standing over his two unconscious allies. He had both hands raised, his chakram held out in front of him and his legs shaking. He seemed to be struggling just to stand near Akuro.
"What.. are you..?" He asked.
"Why does everyone ask that?" Akuro hissed. "Isn't it obvious by now? I am the Omnipotent Death. I am the strongest being in this reality."
Moorza scoffed. "You're strong, that's for certain. But you are by no means the strongest. I know many who could defeat you."
"Then why haven't they?" Akuro asked simply. "Do they not consider me a threat? Because they should. I'm coming for them, I'm coming for all of you. Every god that exists will fall by my hand."
"Yeah? And then what? What will you do after that? Will you be the one to watch over and guide the dead? Will you be the one to run the world? How will you, alone, take on all the responsibilities of the gods?" Moorza countered. "Believe it or not, everything would fall apart without the gods. We run this entire reality, as you put it. Without us everything would fall apart."
"I can see the death of every being in existence, I see all of them." Akuro spoke.
"Your point?"
"I am Death. Watching over the dead will be my responsibility. I have allies. I will be the one to rule this reality. Me alone. I will lead everything, I will bring on a new age, an age where every mortal being had true control over their own lives. Not ruled by some greedy fucks."
Moorza sneered. "Your speaking useless idealism. You are naïve. It's impossible to do all that alone."
"I was also told it was impossible to challenge the gods. I was told it was impossible to be king of hell. Now look at me." Akuro's eyes narrowed. "No one can challenge my power."
"Heh." Moorza's feet shifted. "We will see about that."
Moorza spun, swinging his chakram at Akuro, who simply rose his hand, catching the weapon in between two fingers, and as soon as it made contact with his skin the weapon shattered.
His eyes widening, Moorza backed off.
"What?! How?!"
"I told you." Akuro hissed. "I am the Omnipotent Death. No one can defeat me."
Moorza grit his teeth, then dashed at Akuro, swinging for a slash with talons of aura, but as soon as they came near Akuro, not only did the talons shatter, but his entire arm cracked and twisted before exploding at the elbow, the entire lower arm blasting into little bits.
Letting out a groan of pain, Moorza leapt away from Akuro.
"Fine then.." the god growled. "I don't usually go this far, but you seem to be a special case.."
Akuro's head tilted. "Oh? You can actually entertain me more then?"
"Oh, I'll do more than entertain!"
Suddenly silver light began to envelop Moorza's body, which began to shift and change, growing larger while also enlarging as he floated into the air. As his body changed and got bigger and bigger, shards of silver light descended from the sky like pieces of a shattered shell, revealing a massive, coiling silver dragon.
