Chapter 188 - Chapter 187: Existence War (part 3)

(A/N: This chapter will consist of multiple battles happening at the same time.)

The mighty Skrull army clashed against the rag tag team of a pirate crew. Barely over 100 people versus a one million strong army.

Anyone who just heard of the story would think that the more numbers would win, as it was common sense, but unfortunately, the 100 people they were fighting against were on a higher level of existence than the Skrulls.

Hela and the others commenced their attack, while the Skrull army defended.

Dorrek VII gritted his teeth as the Arcadia hovered directly on top of the palace. It brought back the unpleasant memory of being invaded. Skrullos II, the previous Skrulls homeplanet couldn't avoid the fate of its destruction from the invader – Galactus.

"However, this time I am…Powerful!" Dorrek said, his pug-like eyes glowed a silver light as he sensed the power of the Unbeing inside of him. For almost a week, he had studied the newfound power inside of him, and the potential it carried.

He could unravel the existence of all superheroes in front of him by altering reality retroactively. However, he needed to be in range to do so. He could only delete a hero's origin if they were within 500 miles of him.

Dorrek VII closed his eyes and sensed the hero closest to him. Frank Castle, who was fighting hard on his Basilisk mount, entered the King's sense. Dorrek raised his hand and prepared to delete Frank Castle – Punisher's origin from the world. That was, the moment he was born.

Dorrek VII raised his hand, almost erasing Frank Castle's origin without anyone noticing.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk, do you really think I will let you do that?" A voice resounded within the throne hall of the palace. Dorrek snapped his eyes open and turned backward to see the source of the voice.

Dawn Everstar in his full armour revealed himself to the King. He gazed at the Mad King with a cold look on his eyes, and the stump of what once his right hand twitched in pain for a second. "So. You're the Avatar now."

It felt uncomfortable for him using a prosthetic for the right hand as it felt more like an extra limb he was born with. Using his divinity, a wooden arm growed from the stump of his right hand, and he held his Staff of Yggdrasil with it.

"Hmm…500 miles. I guess we need to fight elsewhere." Dawn said, stunning the Avatar of Unbeing.

"No- YOU- YOU HAVE NO ORIGIN!" The King yelled out in fear! The parasitical Unbeing inside of Dorrek shook violently, trying to escape as sensed something wrong. The Unbeing couldn't sense Dawn's existence before during the fight with Phyla-Vell as she didn't enter a contract with the cosmic entity.

"I don't?" Dawn muttered, tilting his head in confusion. Rather than his origin being predetermined by fate, it was something else that could blur the eyes of the cosmic entity and the fundamental forces of the universe.

"[SHAMBLES]"

The King and Dawn both disappeared from the throne hall, appearing someplace else on the planet.

Using his left hand, Dawn took out a black cover grimoire. It floated in front of him, and the pages turned rapidly before it stopped at the middle of the book. In a tiny writing, the name of the book could be seen – [Grimoire of Anos Voldigoad]

'It's freaking expensive. 10 million tc for one hour use!' Dawn cursed inwardly.

"Kurst" he muttered underneath his breath. Black smoke flew out from the book page and enveloped him.

The last time he fought the Avatar, his relaxed demeanor cost him his right hand. This time, he planned to give his best ability in the fight. The magic he casted rapidly aged him, his 100+ years of age quickly ascended to the thousands.

His youthful face gradually became more mature, his innocent eyes carried a sharp glint, and his feminine body increased in muscles – despite all of that, his temperance still carried a trace of elegance an elf was born with.

With his age gradually increasing, so does the divinity inside of him. He grew stronger and stronger, almost on the level of the Allfather.

"I really am the same as the Asgardian," He muttered in a deep and baritone voice that could make Hela swoon. He finally stopped when his age reached 5000 years old. His complexion was still a young man in his 30s, and he pointed his staff of Yggdrasil at the Mad King.

"Come."

The Mad King was frozen in fear before the Unbeing jolted his existence back to reality.

Arcadia crew members split up into teams after they landed on the battlefield.

Only Hela, Kai, Ryan and Annika move on their own as any teammates would only slow them down.

{Hela's battle}

Hela ran toward the army and jumped. Rain's of plasma blast hit her body, but it was only tickling her. A hovering plasma cannon aimed at Hela and shot a devastating blast at her. She kicked the air using SkyWalk and avoided the blast.

"This is all borrowed strength. Only the weak use this." Hela mocked and slammed her heel on the cannon, breaking it into pieces. The cannon exploded, taking out multiple Skrulls officers around it.

"I guess I am using borrowed strength too now. This is frustrating." She muttered to herself.

She landed in the middle of a Skrulls squadron, and found herself encircled by the plasma rifles. The Skrulls also opened an energy shield, trapping her inside the encirclement.

"Well. I have more things to worry about now." She said as she turned her head to assess the battlefield. "He had outdone himself. It really is half my strength." Hela grinned as she secretly thought to ask another tribute from Ryan Knight.

"Protect the lab!" A Skrull lieutenant with a beret on his head yelled out. A squadron of 50 Skrull inched toward Hela with the energy shield, hoping to cage her inside of it. Hela raised her brow, not because she felt threatened, but she wonders why anyone's first move was to lock her up somewhere.

She kicked the ground and a spider-web like crack grew until it reached the Skrulls. Raising her palm upward, she muttered, "Destructo Disc."

A golden, razor sharp Ki disc appeared in her palm, her hair gently swayed from the tremendous power of the technique. She gently turned her body and threw the razor disc in a circular manner. The ki that could cut almost all substances in the world decimated the energy shield squadron, cutting the Skrulls in half along the process.

"Wow." Hela exclaimed in a fake demeanor. 500 metres away from her, Ryan raised his head in pride after seeing her impressed with the techniques he stored inside the Android body. She turned her attention back on the battlefield after tricking Ryan.

'If I don't show some impression, it would discourage him from making more stuff for me.' She schemed in her mind. She found out that it was hard to get stuff from Ryan unless she showed appreciation for it. The islander taught so. That's why the girls on the island have a lot of interesting stuff.

It was pretty easy to trick the child inside an adult body once they understood his personality.

The Skrull army stepped on the dead corpses of the shield unit and tried to attack Hela. She punched a Skrull, knocking him backward and crashed into 5 other officers. She grabbed the neck of the Skrull closest to her.

"It's been a while since I stood on the eve of war." Hela muttered as she snapped the neck of an unlucky Skrull with her finger. Being in a true battle, and not the virtual game, was bringing back some nostalgic memories for her.

"Too bad the enemy is too weak." She mocked the alien as she threw the corpse of the Skrull back to his squadron.

"NO. ADEK!" The Lieutenant of the Skrull squadron yelled out and caught his brother's body before it hit the ground. He stared hatefully at Hela, and aimed his energy rifle at the monster in android skin.

"You should look down." Hela said in a mocking tone again. The lieutenant sensed that there was life in his brother's arm! Maybe she wasn't a monster as he thought she would be.

"AARRGGHH-" The young brother twitched. "Hey Buddy. You're okay? Hey…" The lieutenant slapped his brother's face gently to wake him up. And he did. He woke up and straight away bit the neck of the lieutenant.

"What-" The lieutenant couldn't understand what was happening until it was too late. His previous brother's body was already infected by the virus Hela injected inside of the corpse. His brother's mouth split into four parts, with sharp teeth on every filamen of his mouth.

"Argghhh!!" The lieutenant screamed in fear as the virus transmitted to him. After 10 seconds, two newly-formed corpse puppets stood up and started to attack the others.

"Interesting. So this is the biochemical virus he talked about?" Hela muttered as she watched her corpse puppet army numbers gradually increasing. Those who had died and had contact with her stood back up as part of her army, attacking indiscriminately inside the battlefield.

"It's taking too long." She said as she saw the Skrull trying hard to cut off the source of the virus in the bud. Hela raised her arm, and opened the latch on her biceps area. Her arm flew toward the army, separated from the rest of her body.

It penetrated 5 Skrulls, and metal tendrils started to drain the Skrull's stuck on it of their blood. The metal tendril grew longer as it swallowed the Skrull's blood, and branched out. Thin metal tendrils attacked the Skrulls nearby like a snake, and it kept branching without stopping.

50, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and it grew until the number reached 8 thousand Skrulls being penetrated by the thin metal tendril. Their eyes become lifeless, and lose their light. However, they kept standing in the battlefield.

Hela summoned her arm back, and the tendrils slowly released the Skrulls stuck with it.

The Skrull widened their eyes as they saw their comrade turned against them while letting out an animalistic roar. The infected Skrulls started their evolution by consuming other alive Skrulls or one of their own underneath Hela's manipulation.

"Holy shit are those Zombies?" The Oni-mask wearing Yelena exclaimed from another part of the battlefield. The zombies were in her view, producing goosebumps on her neck as she saw they bit off the neck of their used-to-be comrades.

{Yelena's and Park Shin's Battle}

"Is he mad? Unleashing something like that to the universe?" Park Shin said as she cut a Skrull officer in half, from top to bottom. The Skrull slowly falls in the opposite direction, revealing Yelena's position in front of Park Shin.

"Well..He has countermeasures…I think." Yelena defended Ryan. She then aimed her gun she wields on her left hand, and shot 5 bullets at the same time. It hit the head of 5 Skrull officers and they fell down at the same time.

She posed with the Jackal Gun from Hellsing paired with a large oni bat with spikes on her right hand. Park Shin rolled her eyes and shook off the blood from her Yamaoroshi katana, and sheathed the sword back in its scabbard.

Two Hover tanks approached the two girls.

"One each?" Yelena asked.

"Sure." Park Shin replied.

Before the girls could attack the tanks, an ominous black cloud attracted their attention.

The girls also saw Ana –the Nami cosplayer, shoot out some clouds from her Clima Tact baton close to the place where they were standing. Ana was protected by some of the islanders as she needed to prepare for an AOE attack.

"Also, we need to move. I don't want to be shocked again." Yelena shudders as the memory of her having an afro for a week resurfaces. Park Shin nodded furiously, as she too had the same experience.

Yelena took a deep breath as she faced the 5 meter tall tank. She placed her gun in her holster and gripped the oni baton – a spiked war club, with two hands. The 200 kg club was picked up by her easily.

She sensed the strength inside of her. Haki that Kai taught her specially, and Chi that the Deer God passed down on the islander merged its energy. She charged toward the tank at blinding speed, swinging the club horizontally with a devastating force. The Skrulls nearby could barely see the attack as it was so fast.

She imbued her staff with haki and the chi, causing a trail of dark lighting to exude from the weapon.

"Raimei Hakkei," she muttered

BANG

The club hit the side of the tank, flinging it across the battlefield like baseball, creating a meat grinder that killed almost 2000 Skrulls officers in its path before it crashed into another tank, causing an immense explosion.

Yelena's muscles shivered and deflated as she used a technique she didn't pass the requirement to use. Her body became weaker as she had consumed all of her chi in the attack. 'Luckily Ryan gave me beans before.'

Taking out a Senzu bean, she popped it into her mouth and swallowed it. Her strength returned and she quickly ran away from the cloud's range.

Park Shin techniques were more elegant compared to Yelena. She closed her eyes as she walked casually toward the tank in front of her. A squadron of Skrull army blocked her way but she only gripped her sword handle.

"Humm HuHumm Humm…" Park Shin hummed melodiously.

Suddenly, her figure disappeared from the squadron's point of view. They heard the clacking of her wooden sandal, and turned backward to see her sheathing her sword back into the scabbard horizontally. She already passed the squadron and the tanks.

"Haiii…I already cut you." Park Shin muttered as her sword finished entering the scabbard. "[Hanauta Sancho – Yahazugiri]"

"What?" A Skrull from the squadron muttered in puzzlement. Suddenly, a deep gash opened on his armored torso, rendering him unconscious. The rest of the squadron also received the same fate from Park Shin's blade.

The tank was cut into two, exploding into pieces as its power source was damaged. The explosion also killed 100 Skrulls nearby the tank. She ran beside Yelena who had a gloating look on her face.

"Hoho~ 2000 kills versus 100 kills. I won." Yelena said.

"Yeah, but I can still for an hour. You're already on your second life."

"Don't snark. Just accept your defeat like a true loser."

The girls quickened their steps, barely getting out of the clouds' range before the thunder came down.

Ana muttered, "Thunder cloud Tempo. Thunderstorm."

Despite wearing a top half bikini and tight blue jeans in the battlefield, she quickly moved to become the frontrunner in battle contribution.

Blue lightning struck down the Skrull army from the sky, enveloping more than 5000 officers at the same time. The Skrull were shocked by a high voltage lightning and burned. Their armor helped them to save their life, but they were knocked out from the battle immediately.

Skrulls' fighter craft targeted the thundercloud witch, trying to kill her before she commenced the second attack. The pilot of the fighter jet locked his target onto the orange-haired woman.

Suddenly, a thin sword penetrated the glass of his ship's hatch, and stabbed him directly in the head.

The sword was then pulled out by the woman standing on top of the fighter jet. The woman wore a black chinese dress with a long cut on the bottom, revealing her smooth legs. Her hair was neatly split in half, and she wore high heels in battle.

"I know you're omnipotent, but couldn't you at least try to summon me to fight for you?" Annika murmured in a low volume and she jumped toward another fighter jet using Sky Walk. She had been rambling for a while, nagging at Dawn who wasn't there.

{Annika's Battle.}

As the first avatar of the Deer God, Annika's rage was not going to be quelled if half of the planet wasn't destroyed. Even Obax Majid, Dawn's avatar who was also the President of Somalia, wanted to come and destroy the Skrulls and the Unbeing.

If Phyla-Vell gets anywhere near them, they would instantly try to kill her, which was a problem Dawn didn't want to think about yet.

Pop Pop Pop

Popping sound appeared every time she stepped on the air.

"Now that you have lost your arm? Who will be responsible for it?" She nagged again and kicked down a fighter craft into the ground troops formation.

"Of course, If you have any difficulty in your life because you lose your arm, I could be there to help you, l-like washing your back or something.." Annika continued, her face flushed as her intrusive thoughts won.

The thought of her becoming Dawn's right hand (Literally) and staying at his side 24/7 was soon broken as an unlucky ground troop was thrown in her direction. The unlucky guy almost hit her from behind, but her Observation Haki saved her clothes from being soiled.

The unlucky guy went past her and was hit by a fighter craft, falling to the ground with the aerial defense mechanism.

"Who did that!" She yelled out and turned to the source where the man originated. She then saw Hercules waving at her with a dumb look on his smitten face. She saw some craters nearby where Hercules stood, a Skrull with their head bashed in inside each of the craters.

"You hairy baboo-" Before she could curse, Hercules shook his hand, trying to convey to her that it wasn't him who did that.

Hercules pointed at his side, where another half naked man was standing. Kai with a sword in his mouth and both of his hands had unleashed a whirlwind of blade – spinning across the battlefield while throwing people to the sky.

Annika swallowed her saliva and her face flushed again seeing the taut muscles on Kai's body. The God of Strength beside Kai was ignored even though his body wasn't inferior.

"Gosh. Every single one of them is frustrating." She muttered and focused back on becoming the aerial support.

A few flying Skrull decided to surround her while in the air. They shape-shifted wings on their back – a technique that a trained Skrull could do..

"Piss off Lizards. Or Frogs? I don't know which animal suits you more." Annika said condescendingly. A flying knife on her wrist shot toward the Skrull nearby her, and she controlled the knife's direction using a chi thread, killing those who dared to stand in her way.

"Hmph!" Annika snorted as the skrulls fell down like flies from the sky.

"Where is he anyway?" Her eyes darted all over the battlefield, trying to find her Deer God. Her eyes were affixed toward a nerd who was holding 3 fighter craft from escaping him.

"Show off." Annika scoffed and returned to protect the rest of the islanders.

Jay, Deet and Arina couldn't shut their mouth after comprehending the pirate crew's capabilities.

{The Fake Mandalorian Battle.}

"This is fake right? A measly 100 crew, and they could take over a planet." Deet said, terrified that these kinds of beings live in the same universe as she, but also glad that they were on the same side. She shot a blaster point blank onto a Skrull's head, before she stick a sticky bomb on his chest and threw him back toward his squadron.

BOOM

Arina smacked her communication device to get a signal connecting to the Xandarian vessel.

"Where are those guys!" She said anxiously as a 10 meter tall zombie passed in front of her. The Xandarian ships were locked in the battle in outer space, failing to breach the perimeter of the planet as Arcadia does.

Activating her jetpack, she flew upward trying to get a clearer signal. At the same time, she used a rifle to kill those around her. A few shots hit her armor, denting it and causing her some pain, but she gritted her teeth through it.

"This pain is laughable compared to the torture the snakes did before." She muttered to herself, her eyes finding solace in the sight of the Mandalorian battling on top of a basilisk mount in front of her.

Her one second of distraction almost cost her life as fighter craft flying past noticed her and aimed its artillery at her.

Jay, the leader of the fake Mandalorian – or rather, the trainee Mandalorian kneeled down and shot a rifle blast toward the fighter craft. She was immobile inside the encirclement of the Skrulls officers, and was in an extremely dangerous position.

Suddenly, a tree branch appeared and penetrated the Skrulls aiming at the trainee Mandalorian. They were picked up from the ground, and their body was used as a whip and crashed with the other.

Jay turned her helmet to see the walking tree nodding toward her. A raccoon laughed maniacally as he shot toward the Skrull army without even targeting.

"I am Groot."

"Who cares? Just shoot anyone!" Rocket said, his finger didn't stop pressing the trigger of his laser cannon.

"Hey, You guys are here? Why didn't you go to the factory?" Jay asked in concern as the Arcadia was supposed to be a distraction for the Guardian's of the Galaxy crew.

"We split in two. Our ship crashed here though HAHAHAHA." Rocket said.

When Arcadia was breaching the planet's surface before, they got a transmission from the Guardians as they wanted to help them. Dawn asked them to stealthily move toward the factory to stop the universe rewrite as he handled the Unbeing.

Nearby the factory, Adam Warlock, Gamora, and Peter Quill were stealthily infiltrating the facility that contained the Fantastic Four.
