*CHINK
The Final Layer had been removed - The chunk of rock that was protecting the treasure for long had been turned into Dust, Within it - lay a Beautiful Dark Circular Piece of Glass that seemed to be a miniature Universe in itself. It was indescribable yet radiating no power or Aura - as if it never existed in the first Place.
The 'man' reverently looked at it and mumbled some gibberish as he saw the fruit of all his hard work and sacrifices.
Even the Onlookers on both Sides were Surprised at this turn of Events, Just a while before the battle between Aavesh and the 'man' had left them speechless. Both of these Damned Warriors were just Peak Stage 5 yet they exuded Battle Prowess that reached Stage 7!
It was not their Fight - None of them could reach Beyond Stage 6 itself. They stood silently and watched the battle that unfolded around the Rift.
However, Aavesh had different thoughts as he saw the treasure. His right hand which was free clenched in pain as he discovered the main reason behind the Invasion - This whole invasion - all those lives lost - His Family Dead - all for this piece of Glass? There were Surely other ways to take this treasure and Fuck off right? Why? Why did it have to be him, his family, his people to suffer? All because some Divine Bitch wanted a Shiny Piece of Glass!
His feelings of Resentment and Hatred were beginning to go to dangerous levels as his turned bloodshot as he stared at the Treasure.
Just Then, The Projection Of the Demon Goddess trembled fiercely as if trying to break the laws of this Plane and move its arm to take the treasure into her Divine Kingdom. Her Plans had succeeded finally. When Reality began to throb and creak at her Incredible might - Suddenly Dark Red Flames Covered Aavesh - making him look especially terrifying.
At that moment Aavesh's Power Levels had broken another Threshold! If he was not able to Tear the 'man' 's body before now in his fury - He angrily ripped the 'man' 's head apart and threw it at the Demon Goddess's Projection like an Energy Football.
Although it did not instantly kill the 'man', due to his unique physique but the 'man' was essentially crippled and useless now. He could not harm others - for now.
Aavesh then Leapt toward the Treasure Below the Rift and Looked at the Surprised Face of the Demon Goddess. He smirked angrily at her - 'She wanted this treasure So Badly Didn't she?'
He spoke while looking at the Gigantic Projection above him with acid in his words,
"You killed so many - Destroyed Several Lives - ALL FOR THIS?"
"Gahadria - Mother OF MOTHER FUCKING MONSTERS - YOU THINK YOU CAN STOMP ON MERE MORTALS AND NOT FACE KARMA!"
Even the beheaded head of the 'man' lay in shock as heard Aavesh call out the Demon Goddess by her name! The Armies were stunned Again - They heard it all now! This brat dared to actually call the Demon Goddess by her True Name? Was this not asking for Death?
Everyone knew the Real name of the Demon Goddess, but Few in the Massive Universe were qualified to speak it out - let alone Shout it Loudly!
It was taboo to take the name of the Divine in vain!
Just then Traven looked at the armor in shock - he and the others recognized this Silver Armor as the One Belonging to the Silver Demon. After seeing all this, He felt this brain fry again!
But Kriti and Antrix were even more stunned - a crazy instinct in their hearts told them that the speaker was their missing Son! But their Son was only a small child - He had not even grown up yet! They were still bewildered and Stunned Speechless as they saw an angry young man talk back to a Goddess!
This Brat had Guts - He had more Guts than all the Armies Combined!
Even the Projection of the Demon Goddess was stunned to hear an ant Talk back and call her Name!
At that moment when all Gods were observing the situation in the Domain with their Artifacts, All Mythic Creatures watching this ridiculous scene in awe, the whole Universe came to a Stand Still, As the Goddess of Fate and Reincarnation looked at the Trembling Book of Destiny! It was this moment that would change everything - this moment of Fate.
Before this Rift Event, She Foresaw a Dark future, Surrounding the Universe - She saw Chaos Unbridled! and the Blind Idiot God would wake as The Annhilation Worm Broke Free from the Icy Lake Guarded at the Deepest Pits of Hell! A Universe End War would come! All Because of this Event which would set everything in Motion for this Dark Future!
Yet She was unable to change it as it was not something she could intervene in or warn anyone about! The Universe could not allow her to change it, It had to be - It was meant to be, It is to be, It will be.
But Now something else was there - Something that whittled down the Fate set by the Universe Step by Step - The worst Part - Every change was permanent! Like how she was not allowed to intervene, Even the Universe could not Intervene here for some Reason!
Almost All threads leading to the Dark fate were destroyed!
She even tried to Divine who this Saviour was! But for some Reason - She felt that it was not the right Time. She Stopped and observed as the Moment of Fate had come.
But Aavesh was not Done Yet, His Body Blazed with Red Lightning and Flames as he Spoke with an even more crazed tone - seeking revenge for the Past he had to suffer,
"YOU MUST BE THINKING THAT NOTHING COULD STOP YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR POWER RIGHT, YOU THINK EVEN KARMA WON'T COME FOR YOU - DON'T YOU?"
"SINCE YOU THINK YOU WON'T FACE KARMA, I'LL SHOW YOU KARMA! I WILL STOMP ON THIS TREASURE - AS YOU STOMPED ON OUR LIVES!"
He then charged his right leg with every ounce of the Red Energy - making his foot look like a red hot thunder hammer about to recycle cosmic trash, just as he lifted his foot right above the Beautiful piece of Glass -A Powerful Voice filled with wrath came from the Projection, interrupting his Stomp,
"YOU DARE TO CROSS ME MORTAL GNAT?"
Her Power Sounded almost throughout the Planet, Every one heard the displeasure in her voice. It made one's skin crawl and heart shudder- But Aavesh was not shaken one bit - he smirked at the projection that struggled to move towards him, He looked at her with Pure Revulsion sounding out in his Voice,
"FUCK YEAH I DO!"
And he stomped down with his full might in front of the flabbergasted Audience.
*BOOOOOOM *CRAAAK * CRACKLE
A massive Shock wave with White Lightning diffused into the Surroundings - All that left of the treasure was Fine Glass Dust - which slowly blew away in the unstable environment - It was as if the treasure never existed in the first place - now with a definite conclusion.
The Demon Goddess never thought that the ant before her could cause any harm to her Treasure - She only thought this mortal ant was only stomping on the treasure to irk her -But -But- But what was this turn of Events?
The Demon Goddess stared in shock, the world stared in bewilderment, the Gods Gasped and the Goddess of Fate let out a slight chuckle after which a whole set of pages tore out of the Book of Fate and Burnt into Oblivion! The Fixed Events of fate had to be rewritten!
But she would not be the Author - Mortals must decide their Path on their own - She could only deduce their fate set by their actions on the path they chose - it was only just and fair like that.
Atleast she was satisfied with the outcome, But The Demon Goddess was not - No She howled in Rage at the Boy,
"LIIITTLE BAAASSTAAARDD WHAAAT HAAAVEE YOOOUUUU DONNNEE!!!!"
"AAAAARRRRGH"
She howled out hysterically, causing the skies to darken and thunder to flash. The Projection of the Demon Goddess fumed with rage,
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS INSOLENCE ANT! I WILL BURN YOUR MORTAL PLANES TO ASHES! I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF"
"FOR NOW YOU WILL WATCH YOUR WORLD BURN FIRST! I WILL SUMMON THE FULL MIGHT OF THE ABYSS TO CHARGE ON THE CORPSES OF YOUR WORLLDD!"
"If the rift stays open", Aavesh jibed back at her to which she just retorted back in disdain,
"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST CLOSE THIS RIFT- HAHAHAHAHAHA, I WILL WATCH YOU FAIL MORTAL- AS LONG AS I EXIST - THE RIFT WILL ALWAYS BE OPEN - YOU ARE TRULY PATHETIC AND FOOLISH"
"Watch me"
He gave one last reply and stepped towards the Large Obelisk which was filled with incredible ominous Aura. He stared straight at it, ignoring the Sneers Given by the Demon Goddess's Projection.
Aavesh then took out the miniature Silver Obelisk which he had merged into his armor. Executor Visor then spoke in his mind,
"Embed the Silver Obelisk on the Main Obelisk like a stake - then Prepare to channel Power"
'This is it' He stared at it - his heart trembling - his eyes a bit wet as memories from the past swept by his mind - None of them would happen if he closed the Rift now. He would Finally Severe the Past to embrace a new Future.
With resolution in his eyes, Aavesh Staked the miniature Silver Obelisk on to the Main Obelisk.
*SNIKK
*CLICK *CLICK *CLICK
The Miniature Silver Obelisk clicked several times and then began to rotate - as if drilling onto the main Obelisk and several layers of Runes inlaid within it began to spread around the main obelisk like a virus.
But it was not Enough, Executor Visor then instructed Aavesh to channel the full strength of the Core Embedded on his chest - to Activate the Runes and Suppress the Older inlaid runes.
"YAAAH!"
Aavesh channeled every inch of the Power in the Egg embedded on his chest. The Runes had Begun to Activate and even were about to suppress the older runes - But when it came to Suppression it was still not enough. They had only prepared for it to filled with the Power of a few Demon Lords - Not a Goddess! To suppress such power -He did not have any more sources of Power left,
"HEHEHEHE WHAT DID I TELL YOU? BUT YOU STILL WENT AND DID IT ANYWAY - WHAT A FOOL!"
Ignoring her mockery, Aavesh became dead Serious as he mentally asked Executor Visor if there was anything else that could be done - Anything.
"An Alternative Exists, But I do not recommend it - "
However Aavesh, easily guessed it,
"My Mythic Power"
"Yes - But You might fully become a Demon - This might be the last time you retain your Humanity - Proceed with Caution"
Aavesh just sadly chuckled and spoke, " It was an honor Executor"
"Retract Fully From My Body and Prepare to Shield the Silver Obelisk - Convert Enough Energy to Capture a Small Portion - no matter how small it is - It will be enough!"
Aavesh Spoke with Steely Resolution, as his hand touched the Silver Obelisk - His Silver Armor began to fully retract onto the silver Obelisk. The more it left Aavesh - The More Aavesh Felt a churning Sensation in his Soul.
As soon as the last bit of Armor left from his hand, Aavesh fell to his knees and clutched his horns on his forehead. The Insanity - The Rage - The Bloodthirst - The FREEDOM TO KILL.
It all came back crashing down - as a burning Red Aura with Lightning coiling surrounded Aavesh. His Eyes had fully Turned Glowing Red and His Hatred of The Day was the Damn Obelisk before him.
How dare does this impudent Demon Goddess look down on Him! She Thinks He cannot Suppress her will - Fuck!- He will show her what true Suppression is!
Completely Demonized, Aavesh Launched a full Power Fist at the Obelisk which began to shudder - as crimson lightning flew through it - The Pitch Black Characters that had refused to change, were being pushed back by this Red Lightning. Suddenly there was enough space for the Counter Symbol Array from the Miniature Silver Obelisk to fully embed itself.
But it was still not ENOUGH! Aavesh roared in fury as thousands of crimson thunder Bolts fell on the Obelisk and Now There was enough space for the Array to take affect and it did.
Several white Runes now fully embedded on the Obelisk and shined.
There was an Ominous trepidation in The Demon Goddess' heart as she roared vigilantly,
"MORTAL WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!!"
